Line 149:
The programmes have been criticized on various grounds, such as actually diminishing Europe's industrial competitiveness<ref>''Financial Control and Fraud in the Community''. House of Lords Select Committee on the European Communities, 12th Report. London: HMSO (1994).</ref> and failing to deliver fundamental excellence and global economic competitiveness.<ref>H. Matthews, The 7th EU research framework programme. ''Nanotechnol. Perceptions'' '''1''' (2005) 99–105.</ref>
In 2010, the [[Austrian Research Promotion Agency]] launched a petition calling for a simplification of administrative procedures, which attracted over 13,000 signatories.<ref>{{cite web |title= Cerexhe receives petition for the simplification of administrative procedures for researchers |url= http://eupan.eu/en/news/show/&tid=323 |access-date= 16 January 2014 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140116183508/http://eupan.eu/en/news/show/%26tid%3D323 |archive-date= 16 January 2014 |url-status= dead }}</ref> The numerous other criticisms of the petitioners were later distilled into a [[green paper]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Green Paper ''"From Challenges to Opportunities: Towards a Common Strategic Framework for EU Research and Innovation funding"''|url=http://rp7.ffg.at/upload/medialibrary/Austria_FFG_Position_GreenPaper_CSF_2011.pdf|publisher=Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), Vienna|date=May 2011|access-date=19 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401085103/http://rp7.ffg.at/upload/medialibrary/Austria_FFG_Position_GreenPaper_CSF_2011.pdf|archive-date=1 April 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Horizon 2020 there are significant simplifications: e.g. fewer funding rates (increasing the funding rates of the large companies), less reporting, less auditing, shorter time from proposal to project kick-off. In a ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' article in December 2020, Horizon 2020 is praised for being less bureaucratic than past framework programmes.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Abbott|first=Alison|date=2020-12-16|title=Farewell to Europe’s Horizon 2020|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03516-6|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=588|issue=7838|pages=371–371|doi=10.1038/d41586-020-03516-6}}</ref>
