The call will, therefore, only take full effect after the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme has entered into force. It may be verified that the provisions concerning independent experts have not undergone any substantial change. The publication of the call, anticipating the adoption of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme, shall not give rise to any claim against the Commission.
