EU: European Parliament study: Review of security measures in the Research Framework Programme (pdf):

"It is mostly large defence companies, the very same who have participated in the definition of EU-sponsored security research which are the main beneficiaries of FP7-ST funds."

"Security research under its current (and, apparently, future) form fails to address the questions that should be at the heart of any security policy: what is what we want to protect? And what is the impact of measures taken in the name of protection on what we want to protect?"
