Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) To achieve maximum impact, Horizon 2020 should develop close synergies with other Union programmes in areas such as education, space, environment, competitiveness and SMEs, the internal security, culture and media and with the Cohesion Policy funds and Rural Development Policy, which can specifically help to strengthen national and regional research and innovation capabilities in the context of smart specialisation strategies. However, it is essential to draw a clear distinction between the way funding is allocated: R&I financing under Horizon 2020 should at all times be allocated on the basis of the criteria of excellence in research and potential to deliver concrete results in innovation.

In order to take the challenge-based approach, a coordinated strategic planning of research and innovation activities is needed. Coordination can address fragmentation and improve the use of technological and infrastructural resources by the entire research community related to each challenge. Moreover, in the majority of cases, success in innovation requires a long- term commitment to sustain excellent research. Strategic actions and scientific steering can ensure expert input on policy from the outset, advance innovation and competitiveness by understanding the complexity of the innovation cycle, and encourage participation from more researchers across borders. Strategic research and innovation coordination on each challenge shall be established by Sectoral Steering Boards of independent high-level experts from academia, industry, end-users and civil society, selected through an open and transparent process, which will contribute to define research and innovation programmes based on the best leadership and will provide the impetus and instruments needed to promote interaction and synergies at a larger scale.

Amendment 1005 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 2 – point 1 – paragraph 12
Annex 1 – Part 2 – point 1 – paragraph 12
A major component of ‘Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies’ are Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), defined as micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, watertechnology, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems. These multi- disciplinary, knowledge and capital- intensive technologies cut across many diverse sectors providing the basis for significant competitive advantage for European industry. An integrated approach, promoting the combination, convergence and cross-fertilisation effect of KETs in different innovation cycles and value chains can deliver promising research results and open the way to new industrial technologies, products, services and novel applications (e.g. in space, transport, environment, health etc.). The numerous interactions of KETs and enabling technologies will therefore be exploited in a flexible manner, as an important source of innovation. This will complement support for research and innovation in KETs that may be provided by national or regional authorities under the Cohesion Policy Funds within the framework of smart specialisation strategies.

Meanwhile, drug and vaccine development processes are becoming more expensive and less effective as these are often not tested for the effect on the age group which makes most use of them, i.e. the elderly. Persistent health inequalities must be addressed, and access to effective and competent health systems and safe treatment options must be ensured for all Europeans. irrespective of their age or background.

Similarly, the complexity of the challenge and the interdependency of its components demand a European level response. Many approaches, tools and technologies have applicability across many of the research and innovation areas of this challenge and are best supported at Union level. These include the development of long term cohorts and the conduct of clinical trials (which focus on the developments and effects of medicines in all age groups), the clinical use of ‘-omics’ or the development of ICT and their applications in healthcare practice, notably e-health. The requirements of specific populations are also best addressed in an integrated manner, for example in the development of stratified and/or personalised medicine, in the treatment of rare diseases, appropriate medicines for use by the elderly and in providing assisted and independent living solutions.

Successful efforts to prevent, manage, treat and cure disease, disability and reduced functionality are underpinned by the fundamental understanding of their determinants and causes, processes and impacts, as well as factors underlying good health and wellbeing. Effective sharing of data and the linkage of these data with large scale cohort studies is also essential, as is the translation of research findings into the clinic, in particular through the conduct of clinical trialswhich should address all age groups so to ensure that medicines are adapted to their use.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2
Over the coming decades, Europe will be challenged by increased competition for limited and finite natural resources, by the effects of climate change, in particular on primary production systems (agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) and by the need to provide a sustainable, safe and secure food supply for the European and an increasing global population. A 70 % increase of the world food supply is estimated to be required to feed the 9 billion global population by 2050. Agriculture accounts for about 10 % of Union greenhouse gases emissions, and while declining in Europe, global emissions from agriculture are projected to increase up to 20 % by 2030. Furthermore, Europe will need to ensure sufficient supplies of raw materials, clean water resources, energy and industrial products, under conditions of decreasing fossil carbon resources (oil and liquid gas production expected to decrease by about 60 % by 2050), while maintaining its competitiveness. Bio-waste (estimated at up to 138 million tonnes per year in the Union, of which up to 40 % is land-filled) represents a huge problem and cost, despite its high potential added value. For example, an estimated 30 % of all food produced in developed countries is discarded. Major changes are needed to reduce this amount by 50 % in the Union by 203026 . In addition, national borders are irrelevant in the spread of animal and plant pests and diseases, including zoonotic diseases, and food borne pathogens. While effective national prevention measures are needed, action at Union level is essential for ultimate control and the effective running of the single market. The challenge is complex, affects a broad range of interconnected sectors and requires a plurality of approaches.

Research and innovation will interface with a wide spectrum of Union policies and related targets, including the Common Agriculture Policy (in particular the Rural Development Policy) and the European Innovation Partnership ‘Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability’, the European Innovation Partnership on Water, the Common Fisheries Policy, the Integrated Maritime Policy, the European Climate Change Programme, the Water Framework Directive, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the Forestry Action Plan, the Soil Thematic Strategy, the Union's 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, the Strategic Energy Technology Plan, the Union's innovation and industrial policies, external and development aid policies, plant health strategies, animal health and welfare strategies and regulatory frameworks to protect the environment, health and safety, to promote resource efficiency and climate action, and to reduce waste. A better integration of research and innovation into related Union policies will significantly improve their European added value, provide leverage effects, increase societal relevance and help to further develop sustainable land, seas and oceans management and bio-economy markets.
