Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) A European Research Infrastructure (hereinafter referred to as 'ERI') set up under this Regulation should have as its task the establishment and operation of a research infrastructure or the continued operation of an existing infrastructure. It should do so on a non-economic basis in order to prevent distortions of competition. In order to promote innovation and knowledge and technology transfer, the ERI should be allowed to carry out some limited economic activities on certain conditions. The establishment of research infrastructures as ERIs does not exclude that research infrastructures of pan- European interest that have another legal form can equally be recognised as contributing to the implementation of the roadmap developed by the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) and to the progress of European research. The Commission will ensure that ESFRI members and other interested parties are informed about these alternative legal forms.
