Ouch, that's a scathing comment on EU CS research. Being in the US I know very little about it, though I do see a lot of quality work in my field come out of ETH-Zurich. I want to say we don't have the problems you're talking about, but I could just be an oblivious grad student :)

Zürich, Switzerland, isn't in the EU :-)

For the purposes of European research funding it effectively is.

I would hope not. The single biggest research foundation in Switzerland is SNF (http://www.snf.ch/), especially since the swiss participation in Horizon 2020 is unresolved due to political reasons.
