    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The report now includes a broader set of recommendations, adding many new paragraphs on topics like the Draghi report, SME participation, and the need for a 3% GDP target. The stance on missions and lump sums changes: missions are no longer to be stopped but piloted with a new approach, and lump sums are to be continued for some beneficiaries. The call for FP10 is rewritten, specifying three core objectives and adding details on governance, programme managers, and simplification. The other changes are formal or wording: updated citations, rephrased sentences, and renumbering of paragraphs.
