1 a. Calls on the Council and Commission to make sufficient funding available to reach the objectives of RePowerEU Plan; reminds that these investments should not come at the expense of investments in the broader competitiveness and strategic autonomy of the Unio; considers that the solidarity and cohesion objectives of RePowerEU naturally align its investment needs with instruments like the RRF, ERDF and Cohesion Fund; supports the Commission proposal to use allowances from the Market Stability Reserve to auction up to a value of €20 billion and thereby finance the necessary infrastructure needed to make us less dependent on Russian gas and oil;

Paragraph 4 a (new)
Paragraph 4 a (new)
4 a. Considering that the Commission has stated several times that there is no requirement for Horizon Europe projects to comply with the do-no-significant-harm principle and that referencing it is purely voluntary; consdering specifically the text in the Horizon Europe Programme guide: "evaluators will not score applications in relation to their compliance with the DNSH principle"; notes the text in the draft versions of the 2023/2024 Work Programmes for Horizon Europe that refer to the need for projects to comply with the do-no-significant-harm principle; concludes that this text in the 2023/2024 Work Programme is an incorrect reflection of the policy of the Commission with regards to the do-no-significant- harm principle in Horizon Europe. Recognises that this creates uncertainty among applicants about the role of the do- no-significant-harm principle in the evaluation and selection of project; demands, therefore, that the Commission changes the texts in the draft Work Programme to accurately reflect its policy on the do-no-significant-harm principle;
