Recital 24 a (new)
Recital 24 a (new)
(24a) There is no legal ground for using the Union budget for research, development and procurement of military equipment and to give EDA and national defence ministries and agencies direct access to the Union budget. Defense research is therefore expressly excluded from Horizon 2020 and no structured cooperation will be established between the Horizon 2020 and the EDA. For the same reasons, research on dual-use technology is also excluded from the Programme.

Recital 24 b (new)
Recital 24 b (new)
(24b) A balanced relation between research in the natural sciences and technology and other sciences, in particular political, social and human sciences should be found. The programme in the field of security should focus on the nature and transformation of conflicts and cooperation, the role of the state, international organisation, non-state actors and civil society actors, but also on conflict prevention, peacebuilding and civilian security sectors reform.

While technology may have a role to play in enhancing European security, it is important that Europe takes steps to address the root causes of insecurity (at home and abroad) and counterbalances the overwhelming focus on increasing security of the last decade with measures to restore civil liberties, preserve fundamental rights and enhance accountability. All of these initiatives will be addressed as part of a broader 'human security' research agenda.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 6 – point 6.2 – paragraph 3
Fostering new modes of cooperation between countries within the Union and worldwide, as well as across relevant research and innovation communities, will therefore be a central task under this challenge. Engaging citizens and industry, supporting social and technological innovation processes, encouraging smart and participatory public administration, as well as promoting evidence based policymaking will be systematically pursued in order to enhance the relevance of all these activities for policymakers, social and economic actors and citizens. In this regard, research and innovation will be a precondition for the competitiveness of European industries and services, Europe's contribution in the field of peaceful conflict resolution, in particular in the areas of security, digital development and privacy protection.

The aim is to enhance solidarity as well as social, economic and political inclusion and positive inter-cultural dynamics in Europe and with international partners, through cutting-edge science and interdisciplinarity, technological advances and organisational and social innovations. Humanities research canincluding social and political science plays an important role here. Research shall support policymakers in designing policies that combat poverty, conflict, war and prevent the development of various forms of divisions, discriminations and inequalities in European societies, such as gender inequalities or digital or innovation divides, and with other world regions. It shall in particular feed into the implementation and the adaptation of the Europe 2020 strategy and the broad external action of the Union. Specific measures shall be taken to unlock excellence in less developed regions, thereby widening participation in Horizon 2020.

Amendment 1618 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 5
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.

These actions shall reinforce the ability of society to become more resilient to environmental and climate change and ensure the availability of raw materials.
Amendment 1631 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.2 – paragraph 4
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.
Amendment 1634 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.2 – paragraph 5
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.2 – paragraph 5
Eco-innovation will provide valuable new opportunities for growth and jobs. Solutions developed through Union level action will counter key threats to industrial competitiveness and enable rapid uptake and replication across the Single Market and beyond. This will enable the transition towards a green economy that takes into account the sustainable use of resources. Partners for this approach will include: International, European and national policy makers; international and Member State research and innovation programmes; European business and industry and in particular SMEs, European universities and research institutes; non-governmental organisations and think-tanks; the European Environment Agency and national environment agencies; and other relevant stakeholders. In addition to bilateral and regional cooperation, Union level actions will also support relevant international efforts and initiatives, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the International Resource Panel, and the Group on Earth Observations (GEO).

Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 5 – point 5.3 – point c – paragraph 1
The aim is to improve the knowledge base on raw materials and develop innovative solutions for the cost-effective, resource efficient and environmentally friendly exploration, extraction, processing,use, re-use and recycling and recovery of raw materials and for their substitution by economically attractive alternatives with a lower environmental impact. Activities shall focus on: improving the knowledge base on the availability of raw materials; promoting the sustainable supply and use of raw materials; promoting eco-design, promoting the sustainable supply, efficient use and re-use of raw materials; finding alternatives for critical raw, materials, developing closed-loop processes and systems, support recycling and reuse strategies and technology; demand-side measure empowering citizens and consumers for the reduction of raw materials consumption and wastage; and improving societal awareness and skills on raw materials.
