(3) The Union is committed to achieving the Europe 2020 strategy, which has set the objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, highlighting the role of research and innovation as key drivers of social and economic prosperity and of environmental sustainability and setting itself the goal to increase spending on Research and Development to reach 3 % of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020 while developing an innovation intensity indicator. In this context, the Innovation Union flagship initiative sets out a strategic and integrated approach to research and innovation, setting the framework and objectives to which future Union research and innovation funding should contribute. Research and innovation are also key factors for other Europe 2020 flagship initiatives and policy objectives, notably on resource efficient Europe, an industrial policy for the globalisation era, climate and energy policy targets, and a digital agenda for Europe. Moreover, for achieving the Europe 2020 objectives relating to research and innovation, Cohesion policy has a key role to play through building capacity and providing a stairway to excellence.

(19) The implementation of Horizon 2020 may give rise to supplementary programmes involving the participation of certain Member States only, the participation of the Union in programmes undertaken by several Member States, or the setting up of joint undertakings or other arrangements within the meaning of Articles 184, 185 and 187 TFEU. There should be no establishment of further joint undertakings under Article 187 TFEU. The establishment of public- private partnerships should be exceptional, and justified by the demonstration that no other type of financing mechanisms can deliver the same objectives. In addition, the Commission should undertake a comprehensive evaluation and review of the different types of public-private partnerships established (including the Joint Technology Initiatives, the Public Private Partnerships under the European Recovery Programme of 2009, the European Industrial Initiative under the SET-Plan and the Knowledge and Innovation Communities under the European Institute of Technology) with a view at identifying the most effective, open and transparent governance and functioning rules, that will enable the widest participation of relevant stakeholders, the engagement of a large number of SMEs, the generation and sharing of knowledge, and the appropriate avoidance of conflict of interests.

Recital 27
(27) SMEs constitute a significant source of innovation and growth in Europe. Therefore a strong participation of SMEs, as defined in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of 6 May 200315, is needed in Horizon 2020. This should support the aims of the Small Business Act16For this, a tool-box of instruments should be developed supporting research and innovation along the different stages of the innovation cycle and taking into account the different sizes and types of SMEs. Horizon 2020 should allocate at least 20% of its budget to SMEs throughout its implementation. In particular, at least 10% of the Horizon 2020 budget will be delivered through the SME Instrument which should be managed and implemented by a single dedicated administrative structure.

(29) A greater impact should also be achieved by combining Horizon 2020 and private sector funds within public-private partnerships in key areas where research and innovation could contribute to Europe's wider competitiveness goals and help tackle societal challenges. The existing public- private partnerships in the form of Joint Technology Initiatives launched under Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-13) may be continued using more fit-for-purpose structures. In particular, their governance and functioning should be revised to ensure open, transparent, effective and efficient functioning and give the opportunity to a wide range of stakeholder active in their specific areas to participate. In addition, the Commission should evaluate the opportunity for including in the Joint Technology Initiatives and other established public-private partnerships the aspect of education, as an essential element of the knowledge-triangle.

More and more biological resources are needed to satisfy market demand for a secure and healthy food supply, bio- materials, biofuels and bio-based products, ranging from consumer products to bulk chemicals. However the capacities of the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems required for their production are limited, while there are competing claims for their utilisation, and often not optimally managed, as shown for example by a severe decline in soil carbon content and fertility and fisheries collapse. There is under- utilised scope for fostering ecosystem services from farmland, forests, marine and fresh waters by integrating agronomic and environmental goals into sustainable production and implementing sustainable harvesting of wild fish stocks.

Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 5
In essence, a transition is needed towards an optimal and renewable use of biological resources and towards sustainable primary production and processing systems that can produce more food and other bio-based products with minimised inputs, environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced ecosystem services, zero-waste and adequate societal value. A critical effort of interconnected research and innovation is a key element for this to happen, in Europe and beyond. There is a large volume of well-recognised existing scientific evidence on the link between degradation of the natural resource base, including biodiversity, and the functioning of natural and semi-natural ecosystems to provide crucial services to society, and indeed acting on solutions proposed as a result of that science. The aim is establishing food production systems that - rather than degrading the natural resources they depend upon - strengthen, reinforce and nourish the resource base, which would enable sustainable wealth generation.

Amendment 1383 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – paragraph 2
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – paragraph 2
A fully functional European bio-economy – encompassing the sustainable production of renewable resources from land and aquatic environments and their conversion into food, bio-based products and bioenergy as well as the related public goods - will generate high European added value. Managed in a sustainable manner, it can reduce the environmental footprint of primary production and the supply chain as a whole. It can increase their competitiveness and provide jobs and business opportunities for rural and coastal development. However no systems of generating wealth can be competitive if they degrade their resource base, hence the onus on truly sustainable systems of harnessing natural processes. In parallel to the market oriented functions, the bio- economy sustains also a wide range of public goods function that should be preserved in order to ensure that basic services, not currently rewarded by the market, can continue to be provided to society: agricultural and forested landscape, farmland and forest biodiversity, water quality and availability, soil functionality, climate stability, air quality, resilience to flooding and fire. The food security, sustainable agriculture, and overall bio- economy – related challenges are of a European and global nature. Actions at Union level are essential to bring together clusters to achieve the necessary breadth and critical mass to complement efforts made by a single or groups of Member States. A multi-actor approach will ensure the necessary cross- fertilising interactions between researcher, businesses, farmers/producers, advisors, consumers and end-users. The Union level is also necessary to ensure coherence in addressing this challenge across sectors and with strong links to relevant Union policies. Coordination of research and innovation at Union level will stimulate and help to accelerate the required changes across the Union.

The activities shall focus on healtha broad diversity of healthy, authentic, high quality and safe foods for all, informed consumer choices, and competitive food processing methods that use less resources and additives and produce less by- products, waste and green- house gases. Competitiveness can be defined on various levels , and the aim is to achieve systems which enable farmers to be competitive on a local and regional level; there should be coherence in the EU approach so that striving for competitiveness on a global market should not run contrary to EU efforts and funding to create vibrant local economies and short food production and supply chains. Negative externalities of input intensive production systems, previously considered as "competitive" and "productive", should be widely considered and any notion of "affordable" food should also consider the costs to the taxpayer and public purse of environmental and public health impacts.

Amendment 1441 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 2
The Union intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 % below 1990 levels by 2020, with a further reduction to 80-95 % by 2050. In addition, renewables should cover 20 % of final energy consumption in 2020 coupled with a 20 % energy efficiency target. By 2050 greenhouse gas emission reductions of 80-95% should be achieved. All scenarios in the Energy Roadmap 2050 show that renewable energy technologies will by the middle of this century account for the biggest share of energy supply technologies and that energy efficiency will play a crucial role for meeting the objectives. It is therefore appropriate for 85% of the budget under this Challenge to go towards research and innovation in renewable energy and end- use energy efficiency. Achieving these objectives will require an overhaul of the energy system combining low carbon profilerenewable energy, energy security and affordability, while at the same time reinforcing Europe's economic competitiveness. Europe is currently far from this overall goal. 80 % of the European energy system still relies on fossil fuels, and the sector produces 80 % of all the Union's greenhouse gas emissions. Every year 2.5 % of the Union's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is spent on energy imports and this is likely to increase. This trend would lead to total dependence on oil and gas imports by 2050. Faced with volatile energy prices on the world market, coupled with concerns over security of supply, European industries and consumers are spending an increasing share of their income on energy.
Amendment 1463 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
To achieve these reductions, significant investments need to be made in research, development, demonstration and market roll-out of efficient, safe and reliable low- carbonrenewable energy technologies and services. These must go hand in hand with non- technological solutions on both the supply and demand sides. All this must be part of an integrated low-carbon policy, including mastering key enabling technologies, in particular ICT solutions and advanced manufacturing, processing and materials. The goal is to produce efficient energy technologies and services that can be taken up widely on European and international markets and to establish intelligent demand-side management based on an open and transparent energy trade market and intelligent energy efficiency management systems.

New technologies and solutions must compete oin cost and reliability against highly optimised energy systems with well- established incumbents and technologiesenergy systems designed for historic incumbents and technologies which have absorbed the vast majority of the world and Europe's research and subsidies until today. Research and innovation are critical to make these new, cleaner, low-carbon,renewable and more efficient energy sources commercially attractive on the scale needed. Neither industry alone, nor Member States individually, are able to bear the costs and risks, for which the main drivers (transition to a low carbon economy, providing affordable and secure energy) are outside the market.
Amendment 1475 #
Proposal for a regulation

Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 4
The resources required to implement the SET Plan in full have been estimated at EUR 8 billion per year over the next 10 years28 . This is well beyond the capacity of individual Member States or research and industrial stakeholders alone. Investments in research and innovation at Union level are needed, combined with mobilisation of efforts across Europe in the form of joint implementation and risk and capacity sharing. Union funding of energy research and innovation shall therefore complement Member States' activities by focusing on activities with clear Union added value, in particular those with high potential to leverage national resources. Action at Union level shall also support high-risk, high-cost, long-term programmes, create jobs and deploy safe and clean energy sources. Action at Union level shall also support programmes to support the implementation of Europe 2020 targets, beyond the reach of individual Member States, pool efforts to reduce investment risks in large-scale activities such as industrial demonstration and develop Europe-wide, interoperable energy solutions.

The growing impacts from climate change and environmental problems, such as ocean acidification, ice melting in the Arctic, land degradation and use, loss of soil fertility, water shortages, chemical pollution and biodiversity loss, indicate that the planet ihas approachinged its sustainability boundaries. For example, without improvements in efficiency, water demand is projected to overshoot supply by 40 % in 20 years time. Forests are disappearing at an alarmingly high rate of 5 million hectares per year. Interactions between resources can cause systemic risks – with the depletion of one resource generating an irreversible tipping point for other resources and ecosystems. Based on current trends, the equivalent of more than two planet Earths will be needed by 2050 to support the growing global population.
Amendment 1618 #

Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 5
The sustainable supply and resource efficient management of raw materials, including their exploration, extraction, processing, resource efficient use, re-use, recycling and substitution, is essential for the functioning of modern societies and their economies. European sectors, such as construction, chemicals, automotive, aerospace, machinery and equipment, which provide a total added value of some EUR 1.3 trillion and employment for approximately 30 million people, heavily depend on access to raw materials. However, the supply of raw materials to the Union is coming under increasing pressure. Furthermore, the Union is highly dependent on imports of strategically important raw materials, which are being affected at an alarming rate by market distortions. Moreover, the Union still has valuable mineral deposits, whose exploration and, extraction and processing is limited by a lack of adequate technologies, by missing investment and hampered by increased global competition. Given the importance of raw materials for European competitiveness, the economy and for their application in innovative products, the sustainable supply and resource efficient management of raw materials is a vital priority for the Union.

Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.2 – paragraph 4
Addressing the sustainable use and availability of raw materials calls for co- ordinated research and innovation efforts across many disciplines and sectors to help provide safe, economically feasible, environmentally sound and socially acceptable solutions along the entire value chain (exploration, extraction, processing, resource efficiency, re-use, recycling and substitution). Innovation in these fields will provide opportunities for growth and jobs, as well as innovative options involving science, technology, the economy, policy and governance. For this reason, a European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials is being prepared and, for the critical raw materials called rare earths, a European Rare Earth Competency Network set up. International co- operation in the field of raw materials, such as the EU-Japan-US R&D trilateral on critical raw materials, is also of great importance and should be continued.
