In the final resolution, drafted by Lambert Van Nistelrooij (EPP, NL) and adopted by 559 votes to 18 with 36 abstentions, MEPs called for more "synergies" between EU research and innovation funds, regional development funds and the 7th Framework for Research and Development.
Deputāti arī prasa labāku sasaisti starp ES fondiem pētniecības, inovācijas un reģionālās attīstības veicināšanai.
