Moreover, the implementation of these rules should duly take into account conditions for the participation of Union entities in third countries' programmes. By means of ensuring that funding dispersed under Horizon 2020 does not contradict core EU values, and to encourage coherence with EU foreign and development policy, specific rules are laid down applicable to third countries with reasonably grounded suspicions of human rights violations, involvement in armed conflicts or territorial conflicts.
