The Spanish Federation of Technological Centress considers that the General Budgets of the State have to prioritise the efficiency of the expense in R&D improving initiatives that have showed effective results and his capacity to produce technological changes and innovations to improve the current levels of business productivity.

The R&D has seen gravely prejudiced in the PGE, since the reductions of the destined games to R&D present a reduction of 25,57% with regard to the final budget approved for the year 2011, in front of 16,9% of the half reduction of the General Budgets of the State.

The transfers nominativas, assigned of nominal way, no competitive and escasamente justified, common in previous budgets, reduce in 96%.

The cuts proposed in R&D affect of way very different to each one of the chapters of expense. The expenses in Chapters 1 to 6 corresponding to the public structure of investigation, coordination and management (Ministries and public organisms of investigation ascribed) reduce so only in 4,97%. The active financial (loans) reduce in 27,8% (1.220,7 M€) but still like this the budget approved for this type of expense is upper to the executed in 2011. By the contrary the destined subsidies to fund competitive public announcements of help to projects of R&D, framed in the chapter 7, descend until 37,4%.

The project of Law will affect therefore in a lot of elder measured to the no ascribed agents to the General Administration of the State (Companies and Technological Centres) since these do not have of public funds nominativos that allow them keep his structures of R&D but they depend of the degree of success that obtain his projects in competitive public announcements, that in 2012 will concentrate the greater part of the budgetary cuts.

Ascertains and observes with worry that the most punished program in the Project of Law presented by the Government is the devoted to fund the business R&D through the CDTI, that sees reduced his financials for projects of business R&D in 62%. Nevertheless this reduction, according to the Government, will remain paliada by the application of a remainder of tesorería available in the CDTI whose quantity, to the not remaining reflected in the Project of Law, prevents to value the budgetary reduction final that will have to tackle this organism.
