[pp.int.general] research funding

[Amelia Andersdotter]

Clearly.

These governments want to decrease the EU total expenditure, and one of 
their plans for achieving this decrease is by making budget adjustments 
such as the below ones (or so i would imagine). The alternative would be 
to reduce the CAP or the structural funds, and I find it unlikely this 
is a plan since all three countries are benefitting directly from those 
financial instruments.

In general, a budget decrease may not be undesirable, but it would be 
most unsatisfying if it came at the expense of a well-functioning 
research budget rather than at the expense of unnecessary agricultural 
subsidies.

best regards,

Amelia
