Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.6 – point 1.6.1 – point 1.6.1.2 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.6 – point 1.6.1 – point 1.6.1.2 – paragraph 1
A number of challenges in space technologies have parallels to terrestrial challenges, for example in the fields of mobility, agriculture, energy, telecommunications, natural resource exploration, robotics, security, and health. These commonalities offer opportunities for early co-development, in particular by SMEs, of technologies across space and non-space communities, potentially resulting in breakthrough innovations more rapidly than achieved in spin-offs at a later stage. Exploitation of existing European space infrastructure should be stimulated by promoting development of innovative products and services based on remote sensing and geo- positioning and space based telecommunications. Europe should furthermore reinforce the incipient development of an entrepreneurial space sector by well targeted measures.

Amendment 868 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – paragraph 3
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – paragraph 3
The aim of this activity is therefore to improve the knowledge base on raw materials, both on land and sea-bed, and develop innovative solutions for the cost- effective and environmentally friendly exploration, extraction, processing, recycling and recovery of raw materials and for their substitution by economically attractive alternatives with a lower environmental impact.
Amendment 872 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – point 5.3.2 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – point 5.3.2 – paragraph 1
Research and innovation is needed over the entire life cycle of materials, in order to secure an affordable, reliable, and sustainable supply and management of raw materials essential for European industries. Developing and deploying economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally friendly exploration, extraction and processing technologies will boost the efficient use of resources. This will also exploit the potential of urban mines. New and economically viable recycling and materials recovery technologies, business models and processes will also contribute to reducing the Union's dependence on the supply of primary raw materials. This will include the need for longer use, high-quality recycling and recovery, and the need to drastically reduce resource wastageboth the normal consumption as well as the wastage of these resources. A full life-cycle approach will be taken, from the supply of available raw materials to end of life, with minimum energy and resources requirements.
Amendment 975 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 a (new)
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 a (new)
6a. Increase security of citizens' protection - Fighting crime and terrorism. The ambition is both to avoid an incident and to mitigate its potential consequences. This requires new technologies and capabilities (including against cyber crime and cyber terrorism) for the support to health, food, water and environmental security which are essential for the good functioning of society and economy. This will include analysing and securing public and private critical networked infrastructures and services against any type of threats. Additional topics aimed at improving the protection of citizens will foster the development of secure civil societies.
Amendment 976 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 b (new)
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 b (new)
6b. Increasing Europe's resilience to crises and disasters This requires the development of dedicated technologies and capabilities to support different types of emergency management operations (such as civil protection, fire fighting and marine pollution, humanitarian aid, civil defence, development of medical information infrastructures rescue tasks) as well as law enforcement. Research will cover the whole crisis-management chain and societal resilience and support the establishment of a European emergency response capacity.
Amendment 977 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 c (new)
Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 c (new)
6c. Support to the Union's internal and external security policies Since the dividing line between external and internal security is increasingly blurred, conflicts outside of Europe and their consequences can rapidly have a direct impact on Europe's security. Furthermore, the interface between civil and defence oriented activities and policies requires particular attention as there is a large opportunity to exploit synergies between civil protection, situation assessment, conflict management and conflict prevention, peace-keeping and post-crisis stabilisation operations. Investment in the development of conflict management capabilities shall be encouraged where complementarities have been identified, so as to quickly close capability gaps whilst avoiding unnecessary duplication, creating synergies and supporting standardisation.
