(Israel Hayom) Shlomo Cesana - Science and Technology Minister Yaakov Peri told the Knesset on Wednesday about negotiations with the EU to allow Israel into the Horizon 2020 European research funding program. Peri said, "There is real willingness and even a desire to bring us on board to this project. It appears there is an effort to find a European political solution" regarding EU directives to prevent funding of Israeli research institutions and companies based in or with branches located beyond the Green Line. Israel is not prepared to sign an agreement as long as the Europeans continue to discriminate against these areas.
