Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Believes that athe launch of 5G, the normalisation of the digital ecompany may be considered European only if its registered office and its main decision- taking centres, R & D centres and manufacturing sites are on European territory and if it is controlled by European capital and subject to the consolidated tax on European territorynomy and high speed connectivity throughout Europe will put the access of data and Open Science at the centre stage of R&D; emphasises, therefore, the importance of building on existing infrastructure and to consult all relevant stakeholders in an effort to identifying best practice in terms of cost-effectiveness;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 d (new)
Paragraph 7 d (new)
7d. Calls on the Commission to carefully assess the needs of European public researchers in order to identify possible gaps in the supply of cloud infrastructure in Europe; if gaps are identified the Commission should invite European cloud infrastructure providers to share their development roadmaps in order to asses if private investments are sufficient to address such gaps or if further public funding is needed to bridge them;
Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 e (new)
Paragraph 7 e (new)
7e. Ask the Commission to ensure that all scientific research and data produced by the Horizon 2020 Programme should benefit European businesses and the public; advocates a change in the incentive structures for academics, industry and public services to share their data, and improve data management, training, engineering skills and literacy;
Amendment 163 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 e (new)
Paragraph 9 e (new)
9e. Reminds the Commission that the cloud services industry has already invested billions of euros into building top of the art infrastructure in Europe. European scientists and researchers can today use a cloud infrastructure that offers them the ability to experiment and innovate quickly by accessing a wide variety of services, only paying for what they use, thus improving time-to-science fast. Notes that Europe's critical support to research and development should not be spent on duplicating existing resources, but instead on encouraging breakthrough in new scientific areas that can boost growth and competitiveness;
Amendment 170 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Proposes that the amounts earmarked for ETP4HPC be re-allocated for the development of digital companies with high added valueConsiders that initiatives to facilitate access to data and research should in all aspects meet the demand of researchers, while at the same time encourage public-private partnerships, thus contributing to the development of the increasingly digital economy;

Amendment 211 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 c (new)
Paragraph 16 c (new)
16c. The staggering growth in digital technologies is the key driver for generation of massive raw data streams in cloud environments. This huge collection of raw data streams in big data systems increases computational complexity and resource consumption in cloud-enabled data mining systems; Notes that the concept of pattern-based data sharing enables local data processing near the data sources and transforms the raw data streams into actionable knowledge patterns. These knowledge patterns have dual utility of availability of local knowledge patterns for immediate actions as well as for participatory data sharing in cloud environments;
