Tilnærmelsen mellem emnerne "innovation« og "små og mellemstore virksomheder« inden for ét og samme program skal gøre det muligt i større udstrækning at gøre rammeprogrammet tilgængeligt for de små og mellemstore virksomheder, samt at få dem til i højere grad at drage fordel af sine resultater ved bedre at vurdere deres behov.
The rapprochement between the themes of innovation and small and medium-sized companies within a single programme should make it possible to open up this framework programme more widely to small and medium-sized companies, and to ensure they benefit more broadly from its results, by making a better evaluation of their requirements.
