(32) The need for a new approach to control and risk management in Union research funding was recognised by the European Council of 4 February 2011, asking for a new balance between trust and control and between risk-taking and risk avoidance. The European Parliament, in its Resolution of 11 November 2010 on simplifying the implementation of the Research Framework Programmes, called for a pragmatic shift towards administrative and financial simplification and states that the management of European research funding should be more trust-based and risk-tolerant towards participants. The interim evaluation report of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (2007-2013) concludes that a more radical approach is needed to attain a quantum leap in simplification, and that the risk-trust balance needs to be redressed. This administrative and financial simplification should be completed before the beginning of Horizon 2020.
