The Strategic Planning will promote human rights and ensure EU funding in no way supports third countries that violate human rights. The human rights record of Horizon associate countries will be taken into consideration during the Strategic Planning process to ensure that institutions and enterprises in associate countries that continue to violate human rights are not eligible for Horizon funding. The Strategic Planning will take direction from the European Parliament and the Commission in assessing the human rights record of associate countries.

Annex I – part II – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 5
Security research is part of the wider comprehensive EU response to security threats. It contributes to the capability development process by enabling the future availability of technologies and applications to fill capability gaps identified by policy-makers and practitioners. Already, funding to research through the EU's framework programme has represented around 50% of total public funding for security research in the EU. Full use will be made of available instruments, including the European space programme (Galileo and EGNOS, Copernicus, Space Situational Awareness and Governmental Satellite Communications). Synergies are sought with the activities supported by EU- funded defence research and duplication of funding is avoided. Cross-border collaboration contributes to developing a European single security market and improving industrial performance, underpinning the EU's autonomy.

Trust in democracy and political institutions seems to be receding. Disenchantment with politics is increasingly articulated by anti- establishment and populist parties and a resurgent nativism. This is compounded by socio-economic inequalities, high migration flows and security concernsas well as a perceived democratic deficits at national and EU level. Responding to present and future challenges requires new thinking on how democratic institutions at all levels must adapt in a context of greater diversity, global economic competition, rapid technological advancements and digitisation, with citizens' experience of democratic discourses and institutions being crucial.
