Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Acknowledges that both shared and centralised management require specific rules, underlines, however, the need to harmonise the rules governing different instruments; calls on the Commission to explore possibilities to that end, without prejudice to competences of Member States and regions under shared management; acknowledges that the centrally managed, top-down approach of FP7 and CIP aimed at encouraging European excellence in research and development and the decentralised, bottom-up approach of cohesion policy aimed at encouraging territorial diversity and regional technology transfer each have their own merits; calls for the specific strengths of both support pillars to be promoted at the same time as making use of synergies; emphasises that the strength of cohesion policy lies in offering easily accessible support, and providing improved access to research, transfer of technology and innovation oriented towards practical application, to small and medium-sized enterprises in particular on a wide scale.
