(5) The European Parliament has called for a radical simplification of Union research and innovation funding in its Resolution of 11 November 2010, has highlighted the importance of the Innovation Union to transform Europe for post-crisis world, in its resolution of 12 May 2011, has drawn attention to important lessons to be learned following the interim evaluation of the Seventh Framework Programme in its resolution of 8 June 2011 and has supported the concept of a common strategic framework for research and innovation funding in its resolution of 27 September 20118 . The Horizon 2020 Programme should therefore be granted a substantial budget increase compared to the Seventh Framework Programme, including a transfer of at least 5% of the budget of the Common Agricultural Policy 2014-2020.
