The next Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10) succeeding Horizon Europe is currently under consideration. There has been significant controversy regarding the inclusion of Israel in Horizon – particularly given the extensive links and collaboration between Israeli universities and the Israeli arms industry and military infrastructure.

Will the Commission:

• 1.Ensure that Israel is not permitted to participate in the FP10?
• 2.Ensure that human rights criteria are stringently applied to funding granted under the FP10?
• 3.Ensure that funding under the FP10 cannot be used for research with a military or dual-use purpose?
