Paragraph 3
3. Regrets in this context the considerable negative impact of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) on the level of financing for Horizon 2020 and CEF; is deeply concerned that the shortage of funds in Horizon 2020 has contributed to a drop in the success rate from 20%-22% in the 7th Framework Programme to 13%-14% in Horizon 2020, which endangers the establishment of the European Research Area; reiterates the view that budget lines for Horizon 2020 and CEF should be restored as much as possible in the 2017 budget; considers that the total recovery of funds redeployed from the Connected Europe Facility to the European Fund for Strategic Investments is essential in order to complete the European internal energy market and for reaching the EU’s energy policy objectives of affordable, secure and sustainable energy;
