Reducerea birocraţiei concomitent cu creşterea finanţării publice a programelor de cercetare şi dezvoltare care pot genera tehnologii sau produse ce pot fi transferate IMM-urilor, ar putea facilita accesul la finanţarea acestor programe din fondurile structurale.
Cutting red tape combined with an increase in public funding for research and development programmes which can generate technologies or products that can be transferred to SMEs could facilitate access to funding for these programmes under the Structural Funds.
