Please note that there have been significant changes from FP6, including changes in nomenclature. This aspect of FP7 is open to further changes and fine tuning. Many of the planned changes will only be phased in during the first few years. This is our current best assessment of where the rules stand. Note that many aspects will only be clarified as they are implemented. Some experts believe parts are unimplementable. Interpretation is also likely to vary within the Commission itself especially between Directorates as in the past.
