The following will be applied in the implementation of the Programme.

Strategic Planning Strategic Planning

The implementation of Horizon Europe's programme-level objectives in an integrated manner will be ensured by multiannual Strategic Planning. Such planning will provide the focus on impact for the Programme overall and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to and from other EU policies.

The implementation of Horizon Europe shall be steered by an inclusive and transparent strategic planning process of the research and innovation activities funded by the Programme. The Strategic Planning process shall lead to the implementation of Horizon Europe's programme objectives by defining the funding priorities. It will provide focus on impact for the Programme and coherence between its different pillars, as well as synergy with other EU programmes and support to other EU policies.

The strategic planning process and the adoption of the strategic R&I plan by means of a delegated act will increase ownership and understanding for the purpose of the Programme by a wider public and will allow the co-legislators, stakeholders and Member States to be fully informed on the envisaged initiatives. The Strategic Planning process will help to develop and implement policy for the relevant areas covered, at Union level as well as complementing policies in the Member States while ensuring that main European policy targets are reflected and supported by Horizon Europe with

adequate resources. It will allow simplification of the funding landscape, avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities while leveraging additional private and public funding and promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results.

A systemic, cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral and cross-policy approach to research and innovation will ensure that societal and economic challenges can be tackled, knowledge is generated and where possible, give rise to new competitive and sustainable businesses and industries, social and technological innovation, fostering competition, stimulating private investments and preserving the level playing field in the internal market.

The Strategic Planning will promote strong engagement with citizens and civil society organisations at all stages of research and innovation, the co-creation of knowledge, effective promotion of gender equality, including the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation content, and will ensure and promote the adherence to the highest ethics and integrity standards.

The Strategic Planning process will promote strong engagement with citizens and civil society organisations in research and innovation, the co-creation of knowledge, effective promotion of gender equality, including the integration of the gender dimension in research and innovation, and will promote the adherence to the highest ethics and integrity standards.

It will include extensive consultations and exchanges with Member States, the European Parliament as appropriate, and with various stakeholders about priorities, including missions, under the 'Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness' pillar, and the suitable types of action to use, in particular European partnerships.

In order to respond to those objectives, the Commission will launch an open consultation phase with Member States, the European Parliament, and a variety of stakeholders, including the scientific community, research and technology organisations, industry, civil society organisations, among others. The consultation will cover the Programme´s strategic priorities including missions under the Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness pillar, and the suitable types of instruments, in particular the European partnerships. Results of the consultation will be published on a dedicated web page, which should also provide the details on the content and process

defining the Strategic Planning.

As regards European partnerships, the Strategic R&I Plan will outline and give the rationale for the creation, merge and phasing out of the European partnerships. The positively reviewed Joint Technology Initiatives and Contractual Public Private Partnerships, should be considered for continuation beyond 2020 due to their added-value in delivering social and economic impact as well as leveraging private investment and their contribution to synergies of funds.

On-going and potential new KICs will be defined in the legislative proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and the Council on the EIT Strategic Innovation Agenda, in line with the Strategic R&I Plan. Nevertheless, the creation of any new KIC should be subject to adequate funding, allowing the existing KICs to develop the ecosystems, build partnerships and pursue and implement efficiently their ambitious objectives.

'FET Flagships' supported under Horizon 2020 will continue to be supported under the Programme. As they present substantial analogies with missions, other 'FET flagships', may be supported under this Framework Programme as missions geared towards future and emerging technologies. The missions should strengthen the collaborative aspects of the Programme and complement existing European partnerships, which could work as supporting implementation pillars of the missions. The missions will have technological and societal elements and will also be defined in close cooperation with all relevant DGs. The Strategic Planning process will define the missions according to Article 7 of the Regulation and Article 5 of this Decision.

Based on such extensive consultations, the Strategic Planning will identify

common objectives and common areas for activities such as partnership areas (the proposed legal basis sets out only the instruments and criteria that will guide their use) and mission areas.

The Strategic Planning will help to develop and realise the implementation of policy for the relevant areas covered, at EU level as well as complementing policy and policy approaches in the Member States. EU policy priorities will be taken into consideration during the Strategic Planning process to increase the contribution of research and innovation to the realisation of policy. It will also take into account foresight activities, studies and other scientific evidence and take account of relevant existing initiatives at EU and national level.

The Strategic Planning will promote synergies between Horizon Europe and other Union Programmes, including the Euratom programme, thus becoming a point of reference for research and innovation in all related programmes across the EU budget and non-funding instruments. This will also promote faster dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results and avoid duplication and overlaps between funding possibilities. It will provide the frame for linking the direct research actions of the Joint Research Centre and other actions supported under the Programme, including the use of results for support to policy.

The Strategic Planning process will identify existing links between Horizon Europe and other Union Programmes, and offer possibilities for synergies between EU, regional and national funds. Horizon Europe will become a point of reference for research and innovation in all related programmes across the EU budget in order to help deliver the EU’s political priorities and objectives. It will also provide the frame for linking the direct research actions of the Joint Research Centre and other actions supported under the Programme, including the use of results to support policy.

A Strategic Plan will lay out a multiannual strategy for realising content in the work programme (as set out in Article 11), while retaining sufficient flexibility to respond rapidly to unexpected opportunities and crises. As Horizon Europe is a programme for 7 years, the economic, societal and policy context in which it will operate may change significantly during its life-time. Horizon Europe needs to be able to swiftly adapt to these changes. There will therefore be the possibility to include

support for activities beyond the descriptions set out below, where this is duly justified, to address major developments or unforeseen events, policy needs, or crisis situations, for example in response to serious threats to health arising for example from epidemics.

In the implementation of Horizon Europe, particular attention will be paid to ensuring a balanced and broad approach to research and innovation, which is not only limited to the development of new products processes and services on the basis of scientific and technological knowledge and breakthroughs, but also incorporates the use of existing technologies in novel applications and continuous improvement and non-technological and social innovation. A systemic, cross-disciplinary, cross-sectoral and cross-policy approach to research innovation will ensure that challenges can be tackled while also giving rise to new competitive businesses and industries, fostering competition, stimulating private investments and preserving the level playing field in the internal market.

In the 'Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness' and the 'Open Innovation' Pillars, research and innovation will be complemented with activities which operate close to the end-users and the market, such as demonstration, piloting or proof-of-concept, excluding however commercialisation activities going beyond the research and innovation phase. This will also include support to demand-side activities that help accelerate the deployment and diffusion of a broad range of innovations. Emphasis will be put on non-prescriptive calls for proposals.

will be fully integrated across all clusters, including specific and dedicated activities. Likewise, activities involving marine and maritime research and innovation will be implemented in a strategic and integrated manner in line with the EU Integrated Maritime Policy, the Common Fisheries Policy Policies and international commitments.

'FET Flagships' supported under Horizon 2020 will continue to be supported under this Programme. As they present substantial analogies with missions, other 'FET flagships', if any, will be supported under this Framework Programme as missions geared towards future and emerging technologies.

Science and Technology Cooperation dialogues with the EU's international partners and policy dialogues with the main world regions will make important contributions to the systematic identification of opportunities for cooperation which, when combined with differentiation by country/region, will support priority setting.

While the European Institute of Innovation and Technology's (EIT) focus on innovation ecosystems makes it naturally fit within the Open Innovation pillar of Horizon Europe, the planning of the EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) will be aligned through the Strategic Planning process with the Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness pillar.

Fast Track to Research and Innovation

Horizon Europe will provide the possibility for beneficiaries to apply for funding in a faster manner, where provided for in the Work Programme's of all clusters, EIC and "spreading excellence", covering research and innovation activities.

In the “spreading excellence” part, this approach will support less developed EU countries to access funds in a faster and bottom-up manner. This modality will be applied to at least 15% of the Programme’s budget.

Dissemination and Communication Dissemination and Communication

Horizon Europe will provide dedicated support for open access to scientific publications, to knowledge repositories and other data sources. Dissemination and knowledge diffusion actions will be supported, also from cooperation with other EU programmes, including clustering and packaging results and data in languages and formats for target audiences and networks for citizens, industry, public administrations, academia, civil society organisations, and policy makers. For this purpose, Horizon Europe may make use of advanced technologies and intelligence tools.

1.1. Rationale 1.1. Rationale

Although the EU remains the largest producer of scientific publications in the world, it is essentially a 'mass producer' of knowledge with, relative to its size, comparatively few centres of excellence that standout at the world level and with large areas of average and poor performance. Compared with the US and now China to some degree, the EU still tends to follow a 'distributed excellence model' in which resources are spread across a larger number of researchers and research institutions Another challenge is that in many EU countries the public sector still does not offer sufficiently attractive conditions for the best researchers. These factors compound Europe's relative unattractiveness in the global competition for scientific talent.

The EU remains the largest producer of scientific publications in the world. Compared with the US and now China to some degree, the EU follows a 'distributed excellence model' in which resources are spread across a larger number of researchers and research institutions. Another challenge is that in many EU countries the public sector investment in research is below any acceptable threshold and thus does not offer sufficiently attractive conditions for the best researchers. These factors compound Europe's relative unattractiveness in the global competition for scientific talent.

The global research landscape is evolving dramatically and becoming increasingly multipolar as a result of a growing number of emerging countries, in particular China, expanding their scientific production. So whereas the EU and the United States accounted for nearly two-thirds of world expenditure on research and development in 2000, this share had fallen to less than half by 2013.

So whereas the EU and the United States accounted for nearly two-thirds of world expenditure on research and development in 2000, this share had fallen to less than half by 2013. In addition, the European Innovation Scoreboard 2018 confirmed that public and private R&D expenditures across the EU remains below 2010 levels and falls short in meeting the long-standing objective to devote 3% of GDP to R&D activities.

Frontier research funded by the ERC has a substantial direct impact in the form of advances at the frontiers of knowledge, opening the way to new and often unexpected scientific and technological results and new areas for research. In turn, this generates radically new ideas which drive innovation and business inventiveness and tackle societal challenges. The ERC also has a significant structural impact, driving up the quality of the European research system over and above the researchers and actions it funds directly. ERC-funded actions and researchers set an inspirational target for frontier research in Europe, raising its profile and making it more attractive for the best researchers worldwide as a place to work, and work with. The prestige of hosting ERC grant- holders creates competition between Europe's universities and research organisations to offer the most attractive conditions for top researchers and can indirectly help them to assess their relative strengths and weaknesses and bring about reforms.

There is also already evidence of the longer term impacts of ERC grants on careers, on training highly skilled postdocs and PhDs, on raising the global visibility and prestige of European research and on national research systems through its strong benchmarking effect. This effect is particularly valuable in the EU's distributed excellence model because ERC funded status can replace and serve as a more accurate indicator of research quality than recognition based on the status of institutions. This allows ambitious individuals, institutions, regions and countries to seize the initiative and scale up the research profiles in which they are particularly strong.

This need is particularly acute in the non-academic sector. The EU must reinforce its efforts to entice more young women and men to a career in research, to attract researchers from third countries, retain its own researchers and reintegrate European researchers working elsewhere back to Europe. In addition, in order to more widely spread excellence, the conditions under which researchers perform must be further improved throughout the European Research Area (ERA). In this respect, stronger links are needed notably with the European Education Area (EEdA), the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and European Social Fund (ESF+).

The overall aim is to endow Europe with world-class sustainable research infrastructures open and accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond, which fully exploit their potential for scientific advance and innovation. Key objectives are to reduce the fragmentation of the research and innovation ecosystem, avoiding duplication of effort, and better coordinate the development and use of research infrastructures. It is crucial to support open access to research infrastructures for all European researchers as well as, through the European Open Science Cloud (hereafter 'EOSC'), increased access to digital research resources, specifically tackling the currently sub-optimal embracement of open science and open data practises. Equally, the EU needs to tackle the rapid increase of global competition for talent by attracting third country researchers to work with European world-class research infrastructures. Increasing the competitiveness of European industry is also a major objective, supporting key technologies and services relevant for research infrastructures and their users, thus improving the conditions for supply of innovative solutions.

Support via the SME instrument will be provided in three phases, based on the model on Horizon Europe:

- Phase 1: Concept and feasibility assessment:

SMEs will receive funding to explore the scientific or technical feasibility and the commercial potential of a new idea (proof of concept) in order to develop an innovation project. A positive outcome of this assessment, in which the linkage between project-topic and potential user/buyer needs is an important issue, will allow for funding under the following phase(s).

- Phase 2: R&D, demonstration, market replication:

With due attention to the innovation voucher concept, research and development will be supported with a particular focus on demonstration activities (testing, prototype, scale-up studies, design, piloting innovative processes, products and services, validation, performance verification etc.) and market replication encouraging the involvement of end users or potential clients. Innovation Vouchers will promote the participation of young entrepreneurs.

- Phase 3: Commercialisation:

This phase will not provide direct funding other than support activities, but aims to facilitate access to private capital and innovation enabling environments. Links with the EIC and InvestEU will be foreseen. SMEs will also benefit from support measures such as networking, training, coaching and advice. In addition, this phase may connect to measures promoting pre-commercial procurement and procurement of innovative solutions.

A healthy population is vital for a stable, sustainable and inclusive society, and improvements in health are crucial in reducing poverty, in fostering social progress and prosperity, and in increasing economic growth. According to the OECD a 10% improvement in life expectancy is also associated with a rise in economic growth of 0.3-0.4% a year. Life expectancy in the EU increased by 12 years since its establishment as a result of tremendous improvements achieved in the quality of life, education, health and care of its people. In 2015, overall life expectancy at birth was 80.6 years in the EU compared to 71.4 years globally. In the past years, it increased in the EU on average by 3 months annually.

Digital technologies are also increasingly used in medical training and education and for patients and other healthcare consumers to access, share and create health information.

These health challenges are complex, interlinked and global in nature and require multidisciplinary, cross-sectorial and transnational collaborations. Research and innovation activities will build close linkages between discovery, clinical, epidemiological, environmental and socio-economic research as well as with regulatory sciences. They will harness the combined skills of academia and industry and foster their collaboration with health services, patients, policy-makers and citizens in order to leverage on public funding and ensure the uptake of results in clinical practice as well as in health care systems. They will foster strategic collaboration at EU and international level in order to pool the expertise, capacities and resources needed to create economies of scale, scope and speed as well as to share the expected benefits and financial risks involved.

Protecting people against communicable diseases and cross-border health threats is a major challenge for public health, calling for effective international cooperation at EU and global level. This will involve prevention, preparedness, early detection, treatment and cure of infectious diseases, and also tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) following a 'One Health approach'. The continue spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria, including super bacteria, will equally have significant detrimental impact on the economy and environment. Preventing their development and spread will also be one of the priorities under this heading. In addition, the World Health Organisation has defined a list of neglected diseases that lack private sector R&I investments due to limited commercial incentives. More ambitious public investments are needed to address the burden of such poverty-related and neglected diseases.

The EU must promote a model of inclusive and sustainable growth while reaping the benefits of technological advancements, enhancing trust in and promoting innovation of democratic governance, combatting inequalities, unemployment, marginalisation, discrimination and radicalisation, guaranteeing human rights, fostering cultural diversity and European cultural heritage and empowering citizens through social innovation. The management of migration and the integration of migrants will also continue to be priority issues. The role of research and innovation in the social sciences and the humanities in responding to these challenges and achieving the EU’s goals is fundamental.

The management of migration and the integration of migrants will also continue to be priority issues.

The role of research and innovation in the social sciences and the humanities and in the cultural and creative sector, in responding to these challenges and achieving the EU’s goals is fundamental. Due to its broad spectrums, size, and impact in today’s digital transformation, these sectors contribute significantly to our economy. As interrelations between social and technological innovation are complex, and rarely linear, further research, including cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary research, is needed into the development of all types of innovation and activities funded to encourage its effective development into the future.

European citizens, state institutions and the economy need to be protected from the continued threats of organised crime, including firearms trafficking, drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings. Strengthening protection and security through better border management is also key. Cybercrime is on the increase and related risks are

diversifying as the economy and society digitalise. Europe needs to continue its effots to improve cybersecurity, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard democratic and economic stability. Lastly, further efforts are required to limit the effects on lives and livelihoods of extreme weather events which are intensifying due to climate change, such as floods, storms or droughts leading to forest fires, land degradation and other natural disasters, e.g. earthquakes. Disasters, whether natural or man-made, can put at risk important societal functions, such as health, energy supply and government.

The magnitude, complexity and trans-national character of the challenges call multi-layered EU action. Addressing such critical social, political, cultural and economic issues, as well as security challenges, only at national level would carry the danger of inefficient use of resources, fragmented approaches and dissimilar standards of knowledge and capacity.

Security research is part of the wider comprehensive EU response to security threats. It contributes to the capability development process by enabling the future availability of technologies and applications to fill capability gaps identified by policy-makers and practitioners. Already, funding to research through the EU's framework programme has represented around 50% of total public funding for security research in the EU. Full use will be made of available instruments, including the European space programme (Galileo and EGNOS, Copernicus, Space Situational Awareness and Governmental Satellite Communications). Synergies are sought with the activities supported by EU-funded defence research and duplication of funding is avoided. Cross-border collaboration contributes to developing a

2a.1 Rationale

In a context of transformations and growing global interdependencies and threats, research and innovation to ensure Europe’s security is paramount.

Despite the fact that Europe is free from large-scale military aggressions, there is now the need to respond to the challenges arising from new security threats. Terrorist attacks of various kind, violent radicalisation, as well as cyber-attacks and hybrid threats, raise major security concerns and put particular strain on societies. EU has to tackle these challenges and ensure public safety while preserving individual freedom and fundamental rights.

Security research is part of the wider EU efforts to meet this and other challenges. It contributes to the capability development process by enabling future

availability of technologies, solutions and applications to fill gaps identified by policy-makers, and end-users, especially public authorities.

Such research and innovation responds to the commitment of the Rome Agenda to work towards "a safe and secure Europe", contributing to the Security Union. Synergies with the Justice Programme and with the Rights and Values Programme, which support activities in the area of access to justice, victims' rights, gender equality, non-discrimination, data protection and promotion of the European citizenship will be exploited.

Full use will be made of available instruments, including the European space programme (Galileo and EGNOS, Copernicus, Space Situational Awareness and Governmental Satellite Communications).

Europe needs to continue its research and innovation efforts to improve cybersecurity, digital privacy, personal data protection and combat the spread of false and harmful information in order to safeguard prosperity, democratic and economic stability. Terrorism, violent radicalisation, ideologically motivated violence, cultural goods trafficking, cyber-attacks, organised crime, taxes avoidance and environmental crime and disasters, are some examples of areas to be tackled under this cluster.

In order to anticipate, prevent and manage risks and threats, it is not only necessary to commit to research but furthermore to develop and apply innovative technologies, solutions, foresight tools and knowledge, stimulate cooperation between providers and public users, find solutions, prevent and combat the abuse of privacy and breaches of human rights, while ensuring European citizens´ individual rights and freedom.

Investing, producing and using ICT provides a major boost to EU economic growth, amounting to an increase of 30% between 2001 and 2011 alone.

Key enabling technologies15 underpin the blending of the digital and the physical worlds, central to this new global wave of innovation. Investing in the development, demonstration and deployment of key enabling technologies, and ensuring a secure, sustainable and affordable supply of raw and advanced materials, will secure EU strategic autonomy and help EU industry to significantly reduce its carbon and environmental footprints.

Space is of strategic importance; around 10% of the EU's GDP depends on the use of space services. The EU has a world-class space sector, with a strong satellite manufacturing industry and a dynamic downstream services sector. Space provides important tools for communication, navigation, and surveillance and opens up many business opportunities especially in combination with digital technologies and other sources of data. The EU must make the most of these opportunities by fully exploiting the potential of its space programmes Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo, and by protecting space and ground infrastructures against threats from space.

The EU has the unique chance of being a global leader and increase its share of world markets, by showcasing how digital transformation, leadership in key enabling and space technologies, the transition to a low-carbon, circular economy and competitiveness can reinforce each other through scientific and technological excellence.

The EU has the unique chance of being a global leader and increase its share of world markets, by showcasing how digital transformation, leadership in key enabling and space technologies unlocking scenarios for the transition towards net-zero GHG emissions economy including low-carbon technologies and strategies for decarbonisation, bio-based and circular economy, ensuring competitiveness and societal understanding of these technologies and evolutions.

To make the digitised, circular, low-carbon and low-emission economy a reality, action is needed at EU level because of the complexity of value chains, the systemic and multi-disciplinary nature of the technologies and their high development costs, and the cross-sectoral nature of the problems to be addressed. The EU must ensure that all industrial players, and society at large, can benefit from advanced and clean technologies and digitisation. Developing technologies alone will not suffice. Industrially-oriented infrastructures, including pilot lines, will help set up EU businesses and in particular SMEs deploy these technologies and improve their innovation performance.

challenges for the sustainability and future of our environment, economy and way of life.

To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy.

To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the Union will need to unlock scenarios for the transition towards net-zero GHG emissions economy including low-carbon technologies and strategies for decarbonisation. This will entail profound changes in the technology and services, that underpin the ways in which industries produce, and businesses and consumers behave. The transformation of the energy market will take place through interaction of technology, infrastructure, the market as well as policy and regulatory frameworks including new forms of governance. Therefore, there is a need for systematic innovations in the energy, buildings, industry and transport sectors.

Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires reductions in greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions through decarbonization, energy savings, and the deployment of renewable energy sources and the electrification of industrial processes which encompass both the energy and the transport sectors17. Currently, the transport sector represents almost a quarter of the Union's GHG emissions.

provided by key enabling technologies, digital technologies and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, renewable energy resource and energy efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials, including critical raw materials, and the circular economy. Particular attention should be paid to sector coupling (i.e. of electricity, heating and cooling, industry and transport sector) in all intervention areas, which is important for a successful energy and transport transition.

To achieve this, the Union will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach and develop knowledge and innovation systems at local, regional, national and European levels. Insights from social sciences and humanities, social innovation with citizens' engagement will be crucial to encourage new governance models, production and consumption patterns.

Progress in these sectors - but also across the spectrum of EU industry including agriculture, buildings, industrial processes and product use, and waste management - will require continued efforts to better understand the mechanisms of climate change and the associated impacts across the economy and society, exploiting synergies with national activities, other EU types of actions and international cooperation.

Over the past decade, considerable advances have been made in climate science, in particular in observations and data assimilation and climate modelling. However, the complexity of the climate-system and the need to support implementation of the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals and EU policies necessitate a reinforced effort to fill the remaining knowledge gaps.

Transport ensures the mobility of people and goods necessary for an integrated European single market, territorial cohesion and an open and inclusive society. At the same time, transport has significant negative effects on human health, congestion, land, air quality and noise, as well as safety resulting in numerous premature deaths and increased socio-economic costs. Therefore, sustainable mobility and transport networks need to become clean, safe, smart, secure, silent, reliable and affordable, offering a seamless integrated door-to-door service.

Therefore, mobility and transport networks, in particular in urban areas, need to become clean, efficient, environmentally- and economically-sustainable, safe, smart, innovative, secure, silent, reliable and affordable, offering a seamless integrated door-to-door service.

The issues faced by the transport and energy sectors go however beyond the need for emission reduction. There are several challenges to be tackled, including the increasing penetration of digital and space-based technologies, changes in user behaviour and mobility patterns, new market entrants and disruptive business models, globalisation, increasing international competition and an older, more urban and increasingly diverse, population.

The expected growth of variable electricity production and shift towards more electric heating, cooling and transport dictates the need for new approaches to manage energy grids. Next to decarbonisation, the goal is to ensure energy affordability, security and stability of supply, achieved through investments in innovative network infrastructure technologies and innovative system management. Energy storage in different forms will play a key role in providing services to the grid, also improving and reinforcing network capacities. Exploiting synergies between different networks (e.g. electricity grids, heating and cooling networks, gas networks, transport recharging and refuelling infrastructure, hydrogen, and telecom networks) and actors (e.g. industrial sites, data centres, self-producers) will be crucial for enabling the smart, integrated operation of the relevant infrastructures.

The combined effects of population growth, resource scarcity and overexploitation, environmental degradation, climate change and migration create unprecedented challenges which require food system transformation (FOOD 2030).20 Current food production and consumption are largely unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to deliver sufficient safe, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and sea, reducing food waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits for consumers and improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the food value chain. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns as well as to engage primary producers,

Circular production and consumption systems will provide benefits to the European economy by reducing resource dependency and increasing the competitiveness of enterprises, and to European citizens by creating new job opportunities and reducing pressures on the environment and climate. Beyond industrial transformation, the transition to a low-emission, resource efficient and circular economy will also need a broader system shift that requires systemic eco-innovative solutions, new business models, markets and investments, enabling infrastructure, social innovation changes in consumer behaviour, and governance models stimulating multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure that the intended system change achieves better economic, environmental and social outcomes22 . Opening for international cooperation will be important for comparability, generating and sharing knowledge and avoiding duplication of efforts, e.g. through international initiatives such as the International Resource Panel.

Open innovation is a vital paradigm for the EU to continue delivering prosperity to its citizens and meeting challenges of the future. Implementing it requires a systemic, cross-cutting and multifaceted approach. Europe's economic progress, social welfare and quality of life rely on its ability to boost productivity and growth, which, in turn, depends heavily on its ability to innovate. Innovation is also key to solving the major challenges that lie ahead for the EU.

Recent decades have seen the emergence of major and global new markets in entertainment, media, health care, lodging and retail, based on breakthrough innovations in ICT, biotech, internet and the platform economy. These market-creating innovations, which impact the EU economy as a whole, are deployed by fast growing and often new companies. But only a few originate in the EU.

These market-creating innovations, which impact the EU economy as a whole, are deployed by fast growing and often new companies. But only a few originate and thrive in the EU.

A new global wave of breakthrough innovation is coming up, one that will be based on more 'deep-tech' technologies such as block-chain, artificial intelligence, genomics and robotics, and other technologies, which may also emerge from individual innovators and communities of citizens. They have in common that they are taking shape at the intersection between different technologies, industry sectors and scientific disciplines, offering radically new combinations of products, processes, services and business models, and have the potential to open up new markets worldwide. Additional sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, transport or energy will also be impacted.

In order to cope with that new global wave of breakthrough innovation, EU support to breakthrough innovators requires an agile, simple, seamless and tailored approach. Policy to develop and deploy breakthrough innovations and scale-up companies has to be bold in taking risks and must take into account the above-mentioned challenges and add value to related innovation activities implemented by individual Member State.

Horizon Europe's Open Innovation pillar, in cooperation with other EU policies and in particular the InvestEU Programme, is designed to deliver such tangible results. It builds on lessons learned and on experience gained under the previous framework programmes, in particular from activities targeting future technologies and innovation (such as Future Emerging Technologies (FET) and Fast Track to Innovation (FTI)), SMEs (such as the SME Instrument), but also private and corporate finance (such as FP7 RSFF, Horizon 2020 InnovFin), all part of the 'EIC pilot' activities launched for the period 2018-2020.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON DEVELOPMENT

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 – C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Lola Sánchez Caldentey

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Horizon Europe will be the European Union’s 9th Research and Innovation Framework Programme running from 2021 to 2027. Building on past successes and learning the lessons from previous programmes, Horizon Europe aims to strengthen the scientific and technological bases of the Union, foster its competitiveness and make Europe fit to take a leading role in facing the challenges of the 21st century.

Horizon Europe is of great relevance for the Committee on Development for the contribution it can play in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The importance of the role of research and innovation in relation to meeting societal and economic challenges in developing countries is increasingly recognised.

It is important to ensure that Horizon Europe is open to actors in developing countries in terms of both participation in projects and activities and access to results of the projects. Participation of developing countries in the current Horizon 2020 programme has declined compared to the previous framework programme and specific provisions in Horizon Europe should be added in order to reinforce the international cooperation dimension of the programme.

It is also paramount to ensure that the EU's external and development policy priorities and commitments are taken into account particularly in the areas of climate change, biodiversity, and resource and energy efficiency. Additional proposed amendments concern the need to promote the involvement of civil society and to reinforce the mainstreaming of the gender dimension of the programme.

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 173(3), 182(4) and 208(1) thereof,

Amendment 2

Proposal for a decisionRecital 5

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(5) Reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with the Union's commitments to implement the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Specific Programme will contribute to mainstream climate actions and to the achievement of an overall target of 25 % of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives. Actions under this Specific Programme are expected to contribute 35% of the overall financial envelope of the Specific Programme to climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identified during the Specific Programme's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes.

(5) Acknowledging climate change as one of the biggest and most important global and societal challenges, and reflecting the importance of tackling climate change in line with the Union's commitments to implement the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this Specific Programme will contribute to mainstream climate actions and to the achievement of an overall target of 50 % of the EU budget expenditures supporting climate objectives. Actions under the Specific Programme should contribute at least 50 % of the overall financial envelope of the Specific Programme to the climate objective, in order to support actions or parts of actions that will help to deliver a net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emission economy by 2050 at the latest. Relevant actions will be identified ex-ante and fully reflected during the Specific Programme's preparation and implementation in form of the strategic plan and work programmes, and reassessed in the context of the

relevant evaluations and review processes, thereby ensuring that the objective of investing at least 50 % of the Programme's overall financial envelope in climate-related research and innovations is achieved efficiently and in a timely manner.

Justification

The 35% of ear-marking for climate expenditure of the Horizon budgetary envelope as proposed by the Commission only confirms the status quo of the current programme. Given that climate change is one of the biggest global and societal challenges, this will be insufficient. The transition towards reaching a net-zero greenhouse gas emission economy by 2050 at the latest needs to accelerate and an ambitious and well endowed RDI policy is the most important tool in order to achieve that.

Amendment 3

Proposal for a decisionRecital 5 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(5 a)  Given the substantial negative impact of fossil fuels in fostering climate change, the Horizon Europe Programme should commit to the phasing out of fossil fuels by not providing any financial support to activities or investments related to the production, processing, distribution, storage or combustion of fossil fuels or any other activity that is detrimental to the climate and contradicts the Union’s commitment under the Paris Agreement.

Justification

Holding the global average temperature increase well below 2°C presupposes stronger action, especially in a context where EU’s energy policy will certainly be used as a template in international negotiations, while those countries which contributed the least to the rise of greenhouse gases (such as small islands and Least Developed Countries) will be most impacted by climate change.

(9a) The work programme for a given call under the pillar 'Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness' could allow grants for large-scale product validation and market replication, recognizing this is of specific important in areas with market failure or poverty-related and neglected diseases.

Justification

It is critical that Horizon Europe’s funding is protected and prioritized for the societal challenges where there is too often a lack of profitable commercial markets to drive science, technology and innovation. In these areas, public funding throughout the R&D pipeline is essential and can be used to effectively mobilize private sector investment.

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

Health research and innovation research and innovation have played a significant part in this achievement but also in improving productivity and quality in the health and care industry. However, the EU continues to face novel, newly emerging or persisting challenges that are threatening its citizens and public health, the sustainability of its health care and social protection systems, as well as the competitiveness of its health and care industry. Major health challenges in the EU include: the lack of effective health promotion and disease prevention; the rise of non-communicable diseases; the spread of antimicrobial drug resistance and the emergence of infectious epidemics; increased environmental pollution; the persistence of health inequalities among and within countries affecting disproportionally people that are disadvantaged or in vulnerable stages of life; the detection, understanding, control, prevention and mitigation of health risks in a rapidly changing social, urban and natural environment; the increasing costs for European health care systems and the progressive introduction of personalised medicine approaches and digitalisation in health and care; and the increasing pressure on the European health and care industry to remain competitive in and by developing health innovation vis-a-vis new and emerging global players.

To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector6. It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy.

To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement the EU will need to transition to low-carbon, resource-efficient and resilient economies and societies. This will be based on profound changes in technology and services, to the ways in which businesses and consumers behave, as well as involving new forms of governance. The Paris Agreement constitutes a framework for mitigation as well as adaptation action. Its Article 7 sets a global goal on adaptation. In particular through point 7.7 of that Article’s, the Union has committed to assist developing countries, which carry little responsibility for the causing of climate change, are its main victims and lack resources to adapt to it. Developing countries’ needs include research-based targeted forecasts and advice (climate services) of the highest possible quality to enable good decision-making and preparedness. They also include assistance in developing effective new adaptation methods. Delivering a solid Union contribution to the coverage of these needs is an important objective of the activities in this cluster and is crucial for the Union’s honouring of its commitments in Articles 7.7 and 10.5 of the Paris Agreement.

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and their capacity to provide services for human well-being. The concepts of the circular economy, the bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and inhibiting their capacity to provide services maintaining human well-being in the long term. Any production system that degrades nature shall not be sustainable, nor productive in the long-term and therefore not competitive. A functioning and prosperous ecosystem is the very basis for all resource utilization. Recognising the link between degradation of the natural resource base, including biodiversity, and the functioning of natural and semi-natural ecosystems to provide essential services to society and acting on solutions proposed as a result of that science is crucial.

Open innovation is a vital paradigm for the EU to continue delivering prosperity to its citizens and meeting challenges of the future. Implementing it requires a systemic, cross-cutting and multifaceted approach. Europe's economic progress, social welfare and quality of life rely on its ability to boost productivity and growth, which, in turn, depends heavily on its ability to innovate. Innovation is also key to solving the major challenges that lie ahead for the EU.

Meanwhile, there is a growing disparity in Europe between the innovation-leading and the innovation-lagging regions. Change is needed if Europe as a whole is to capitalise on excellence from across the continent, maximise the value of public and private investments, and their impacts on productivity, economic growth, job creation and well-being. Societal engagement is a widely recognised key component of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)and essential to ensuring societal impact. Citizens and civil society actors (such as NGOs, e.g. environment and health NGOs) are two different target groups of RRI’s vision of societal engagement in R&I.

In addition, research and innovation are seen by some as distant and elitist without clear benefits for citizens, instilling attitudes that hamper the creation and uptake of innovative solutions, and scepticism about evidence-based public policies. This requires both better linkages between scientists, citizens and policy-makers, and more robust approaches to pooling scientific evidence itself.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGETS

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 – C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Nils Torvalds

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The Rapporteur welcomes the proposal by the European Commission for the new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon Europe. The current Horizon 2020 Programme has shown the added value of resources put in the field of research and innovation and the benefits for participants across society.

The Commission proposes increased resources for research and innovation compared to the current Framework Programme. The Rapporteur warmly welcomes this rise, especially since every euro invested in the Framework Programmes can potentially generate a return of 11 euros over 25 years as estimated by the Commission. At the same time, given that the Commission has also calculated that Horizon 2020 would have needed a budget of over 160 billion to fund all excellent proposals, the rapporteur believes that the budget should be even more ambitious.

The Rapporteur is therefore proposing an increase of the budget to EUR 120 billion (in 2018 prices) to further the potential of research and innovation in Europe. Previously, the European Parliament has called for a substantial increase for Horizon Europe to the level of at least EUR 120 billion (in 2018 prices) in its resolutions on the 2021–2027 Multiannual Financial Framework of 14 March 2018 and of 30 May 2018..

Endorsing the strong focus of the proposal on innovation, the Rapporteur however seeks to promote a broader perspective on innovation in the Framework Programme, which should provide adequate support to all kinds of beneficiaries striving to develop and realise their innovation potential. In view of the discontinuation of budgetary earmarking for small and

medium-sized enterprises under Horizon Europe, he aims to ensure continued possibilities to access relevant funding resources for innovative SMEs.

Regarding funding for research in agriculture and rural development within the Framework Programme, the Rapporteur wishes to make some clarifications to the fifth cluster in Pillar II ‘Food and Natural Resources’ that can be sometimes seen presented separately. In reality, the corresponding amount is an integral part of Horizon Europe and does not consist of funds taken from the Common Agricultural Policy. It is one of the five clusters contributing to tackling Global Challenges and adding Industrial Competitiveness.

Last but not least, the Rapporteur proposes to adopt the work programmes that implement the Specific Programme by the means of delegated acts, since they set out rules on important issues with significant budgetary implications such as the entities eligible for participation and funding, the content of the calls, the budget for the EIC Pathfinder, specification of calls for which the Seal of Excellence will be awarded, where applicable the overall amount reserved for blending operations, etc.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Budgets calls on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGETARY CONTROL

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 – C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Martina Dlabajová

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The main objectives of the Horizon Europe proposal are to help to create jobs and growth, tackle our biggest societal challenges and improve the lives of Union citizens.

Therefore, for our future prosperity the deepening of Europe’s innovation, ensuring the necessary investments, and accelerating the diffusion of R&I results across Europe are a necessity for the Union and its Member States.

The Rapporteur supports the Commission proposal on Horizon Europe, proposing for the period 2021 to 2027 an approach which can make great contributions to tackle these challenges with its core focus on excellence, transnational competition and collaboration1.

For this legal act, setting out the specific implementation and programming provisions, the Rapporteur would like to highlight the importance of some main new features like the new Union-wide research and innovation missions, focusing on topics with ambitious goals and strong European added value to tackle issues that affect our daily lives (e.g. the fight against cancer, clean transport, etc.), and furthermore, the European Innovation Council (EIC) that will help identify and fund fast-moving innovations with strong potential to create entirely new markets. The Rapporteur welcomes the fact that the implementation of Horizon Europe will be steered by an inclusive and transparent strategic planning process that will remain 1 For more on the overall Horizon Europe proposal, see the underlying act (proposal for a regulation establishing “Horizon Europe - the framework programme for research and innovation and laying down its rules for participation and dissemination)

The proposed amendments aim to highlight the importance of a transparent recruitment process in all Union Institutions and advisory bodies.

Digitalisation

Digitisation is a major driver. As it continues at a rapid pace across all sectors, investment in priority areas ranging from artificial intelligence to next generation internet, high performance computing, photonics and nano-electronics, becomes essential for the strength of our economy and the sustainability of our society. Investing, producing and using ICT provides a major boost to Union economic growth, amounting to an increase of 30% between 2001 and 2011 alone. Key enabling technologies underpin the blending of the digital and the physical worlds, central to this new global wave of innovation. Investing in the development, demonstration and deployment of key enabling technologies, and ensuring a secure, sustainable and affordable supply of raw and advanced materials, will secure Union strategic autonomy and help Union industry to significantly reduce its carbon and environmental footprints

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 - C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Cristian-Silviu Buşoi

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Horizon Europe will be the European Union’s 9th Research and Innovation Framework Programme and it will run between 2021 and 2027. The European Commission foresees financing for Horizon Europe to the tune of 97.6 billion EUR, up from the roughly 80 billion EUR for Horizon 2020. Building on past successes and learning the lessons from previous programmes, Horizon Europe aims to strengthen the scientific and technological bases of the Union, foster its competitiveness and make Europe fit to take a leading role in facing the challenges of the 21st century - from health to global warming, from digitalisation to the circular economy.

The rapporteur concurs that for Horizon Europe to succeed a balanced mix of continuity and innovation is necessary, and that an ‘evolution’ of the current programme will reap more benefits than ‘revolution’.

Continuity will serve to offer predictability and simplicity to the scientific community and firms aiming to engage with Horizon Europe. Continuity will also reinforce the ‘Horizon’ brand, ease dissemination efforts and analyse the performance of the programme over time. Specifically the rapporteur welcomes continuity in the three-pillar structure and of the successful components within them. Furthermore the rapporteur welcomes the continuation of grants as the main funding model for Horizon Europe.

Yet, the new Horizon rightly addresses a number of identified shortcomings. Horizon 2020 has for example succeeded in the bringing about excellent research - as demonstrated by the references in high quality scientific literature of Horizon’s funded publications, but the EU’s

RR\1170518EN.docx 265/395 PE625.306v02-00

EN

ecosystem is still not sufficiently conducive to breakthrough innovation. The rapporteur is of the opinion that a number of novelties in the new Horizon will strengthen the programme. The introduction of the concept of missions has the highest potential for success. A few, simple, well-funded missions with a high societal impact would serve to rally the scientific and business community. The new European Innovation Council also has the potential to accelerate the scaling up of promising ideas, favouring start-up and strengthening the links between academia and the business world. The reduction of bureaucracy, the principle of open science and the strengthened synergies with other EU programmes all have the potential to bring about positive change, accelerate innovation and concretise results.

The success of Horizon Europe is particularly important for the ENVI Committee. This is not just because being at the forefront of innovation and research is the best way to ensure quality jobs and the future competitiveness of the EU’s economy, but also because Horizon Europe is a key instrument to address the many pressing issues which are the focus of ENVI’s work and which stem from the international obligations which the EU helped shaping, such as the Paris Agreement or the Sustainable Development Goals or WHO guidelines.

Specifically, Pillar 2 takes the lion’s share of Horizon Europe funding. Three out of five of its clusters - (a) Health, (d) Climate, Energy and Mobility and (e) Food and natural resources - are of direct relevance to ENVI’s areas of competence and cover the largest part of the funding of Pillar 2.

As the most recent Eurobarometer survey presents, 70% of Europeans want the Union to do more in health sector. The rapporteur stresses that decreasing budgetary ratio on Health is not proportional with our current citizens’ expectations, especially on present times of populism and euroskepticism. Therefore, with regard to the budgetary distribution on Health, the rapporteur calls for the budget to be kept at least at the same rate as in H2020 - respectively 9,7% of the total budget, not 8,18% as proposed without redeployments. Furthermore, the rapporteur considers that the budgetary distribution between the two components of Pillar II should respect the same proportionality as in H2020, particularly 70% should focus on addressing Societal Challenges and delivering impact for society as a whole, while 30% should focus on Industrial Competitiveness.

Cancer is one of the main challenges many European citizens face. Almost one in three Europeans will develop cancer in their lifetime. Every year, 1.3 million people in Europe die from cancer, accounting for 26% of all deaths. Despite progress in medical science, the prevalence of cancer continues to increase and there remains significant differences between and within EU Member States as far as quality of care is concerned.. Moreover, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children, with 6000 young people dying each year from cancer in Europe. Innovative solutions in the field of paediatric oncology are crucial for Europe’s next generations as, every year, 35 000 new cases of cancer on young people are registered in the EU. As research and innovation are currently fragmented in this area and national actions alone cannot achieve sufficient results by themselves, the rapporteur proposes a first mission in an area with high mortality and long-term morbidity, related to children, namely ‘Eradicating paediatric cancer by 2030’.

Limiting the increase of global average temperature to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, requires rapid progress in decarbonising the energy system and substantially reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions from the transport sector17 . It will also need new impetus to accelerate the pace of developing next-generation breakthroughs as well as demonstrating and deploying innovative technologies and solutions, using also the opportunities provided by digital and space technologies. This will be pursued through an integrated approach encompassing decarbonisation, resource efficiency, reduction of air pollution, access to raw materials and circular economy.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT AND TOURISM

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 – C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Henna Virkkunen

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

In order to ensure the objectives of the Union and the priorities and targets set out in Agenda for Jobs, Growth, Fairness and Democratic Change, the Paris agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, the level of the overall budget should be appropriate for securing Europe’s global competitiveness and scientific, technological and industrial leadership. Almost 75% of the projects evaluated as excellent could not be funded by Horizon2020 due to insufficient funding. Therefore it is crucial to increase the overall budget of Horizon Europe to EUR 131 749 000 000

European industries’ competitiveness should be a key objective of Horizon Europe. Especially Pillar II ‘Global Challenges and Industrial Competitiveness’ is crucial for the growth and competitiveness of Europe. In order for the EU and its industries to become a world leader in innovation, digitisation and decarbonisation, the budget share of the Pillar II should be increased to 60% of the total budget.

European transport industries are the backbone of its economy and competitiveness. The automotive industry provides jobs for 12 million people and accounts for 4% of the EU’s GDP. The sector represents the largest private investor in R&D. The EU is among the world's biggest producers of motor vehicles and also one of the largest exporters of vehicle technologies. Aviation supports almost 5 million jobs and contributes 2.1% to European GDP. Europe’s maritime and railway industries have significant role in achieving the ambitious climate targets as well as contributing the EU’s economy.

Meeting the climate targets and reducing the CO2 emissions especially in the transport sector is one of the key issues for Europe. Road transport contributes about one-fifth of the EU's

total emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), therefore speeding up of the deployment of low-emission alternative energy for transport, such as advanced biofuels, electricity, hydrogen and renewable synthetic fuels and removing obstacles to the electrification of transport is of utmost importance.

EU leadership in clean energy and clean mobility technologies needs to be secured. The EU needs to contribute to safer roads and mobility to meet the EU's long-term goal of Vision Zero by 2050.

Digitalisation and automatisation offer enormous opportunities for Europe’s mobility. It is important to find new solutions to break the siloes between the transport modes. Data flow in the logistic chains needs to be improved and efficiency of logistics increased focusing on development of intelligent automation. Simultaneously cybersecurity has to be fully integrated across all the clusters.

It is important to ensure the possibility for cross-sectoral and cross-disciplinary research and cooperation between all the pillars, clusters and inside the clusters. It is important to better integrate the transport, energy and digital sectors, in order to accelerate the decarbonisation and digitalisation of the EU's economy.

Finally, the Rapporteur welcomes a new generation of European Partnerships and increased collaboration with other EU programmes. The Horizon Europe will streamline the number of partnerships that the EU co-programmes or co-funds with partners like industry, civil society and funding foundations, in order to increase their effectiveness and impact in achieving Europe's policy priorities.

It is estimated that by 2050, more than 80% of the EU's population will live in urban areas, consuming the lion's share of available resources, including energy, and being areas particularly vulnerable to the adverse meteorological change impacts worsen by climate change and natural disasters already now and increasingly in the future. A key challenge is to significantly increase the overall energy and resource efficiency as well as climate-resilience of Europe's cities in a holistic fashion, targeting the building stock, energy systems, mobility, climate change, as well as water, soil, air quality, waste and noise. Synergies with ERDF- funded urban policy and actions should be investigated and exploited.

It is estimated that by 2050, more than 80% of the EU’s population will live in urban areas, consuming the lion’s share of available resources, including energy; these areas will furthermore be particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of meteorological change, which are already worsening as a result of climate change and natural disasters, and will become increasingly bad in the future. A key challenge is to significantly increase the overall energy and resource efficiency as well as climate-resilience of Europe’s cities in a holistic fashion, targeting the building stock, energy systems, mobility, climate change, as well as water, soil, air quality, waste and noise. Synergies with ERDF-funded urban policy and actions should be investigated and exploited.Furthermore, special attention will need to be paid to the mobility and security of the remaining 20% of the EU population living in rural and remote areas, looking into the most efficient and effective strategies in the both the transport sector (infrastructure, smart and interconnected mobility) and the energy sector to ensure optimum security when it comes to logistics and energy.

For the EU to reach its air quality, climate, and energy goals, including a 60% reduction in green-house gas emissions by 2050 as well as noise reduction, will require rethinking the whole mobility system including users, vehicles, fuels and infrastructures. It will also require the deployment of low-emission alternative energies and market uptake of zero-emission vehicles/vessels/aircrafts. In addition to the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions, transport contributes significantly to poor air quality and noise in Europe with negative consequences for the health of citizens18 . Building on progress with electrification and the use of fuel cells for cars, buses and light duty vehicles it is essential to accelerate research and innovation solutions for other sectors such as aviation, maritime and inland navigation and lorries.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation(COM(2018)0436 – C8-0253/2018 – 2018/0225(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Elsi Katainen

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The rapporteur welcomes the Horizon Europe Programme proposal by the Commission and the increased funding especially for the Food and Natural Resources’ innovations. The Horizon Europe Programme is a key element for boosting the competitiveness of the EU globally and supporting the economic growth of the EU. Horizon Europe, directed to support scientific breakthroughs and innovative products and services, will help Europe to tackle the current challenges, such as climate change, and at the same time, it creates business opportunities.

The allocated funding of 10 billion EUR is much needed to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals such as SG 2 - No Hunger. The rapporteur insists maintaining the funding at least at the proposed level of 10 billion EUR. However, if the overall budget of the Horizon Europe is to be increased the Food and Natural Resources cluster funding has to increase proportionally.

The rapporteur thinks that the AGRI Committee can offer the most valuable contribution on the fifth cluster “Food and Natural Resources”, which specifically addresses agriculture-related issues. Therefore, the rapporteur would like to propose adding the word ‘agriculture’ to the title. The rapporteur would like to remind that the clusters of the second pillar “Global challenges and Industrial competitiveness” are not separate but contribute all to each other’s specific areas. In addition, the rapporteur underlines the importance of the basic research funded under the first pillar “Open Science” as it also plays an important role in the process of creating innovations for bio-circular economy, which is a step forward from circular economy.

The seven specified areas of contribution in the cluster five cover the main elements

contributing to innovations regarding food and natural resources. The rapporteur would still like to remind that the limiting the scope only to the sea and oceans as proposed on the area No. 4 leaves the fresh waters out of the scope. The rapporteur would like to add fresh waters to the context, as they are an important part of the aquatic territorial. The rapporteur welcomes the inclusion of the forestry in the areas of intervention, as forestry is a great example of the promotion of the bio circular economy.

A multiannual Strategic Planning, in which the synergy with other EU programmes must be taken into account, will ensure the implementation of Horizon Europe’s programme-level objectives in an integrated manner. The rapporteur finds it crucially important that the synergies are guaranteed and for example in the fifth cluster the specific objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy should be included. She would still like underline that even the objectives should be harmonised the budgets allocated should remain separate in between different policy programs.

The rapporteur would like to propose a mission for the second pillar. The proposed mission is “Carbon neutral, resilient, nutritious and zero-waste food systems by 2035”. This mission can be supported by other clusters and has a great spin off potential to create innovations in various sectors. The Europe needs to find alternative ways to shift towards climate-smart agriculture and sustainable use of natural resources. One key element is to reduce and eventually cut off waste and efficiently use the side-streams and waste from industrial production chains.

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population is directly dependent on the health of natural systems and resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and their capacity to provide services for human well-being. The concepts of the circular economy, the bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on soils, seas and oceans, water, air, biodiversity and other natural resources. Nourishing the planet's growing population and maintaining human well-being (physical and mental) is directly dependent on agriculture and food production as well as the health of natural systems and sustainable use of resources. However, combined with climate change, humanity's growing demand for natural resources creates environmental pressures that go far beyond sustainable levels, affecting ecosystems and their capacity to provide services for human well-being. The concepts of the circular economy, agroecology, the bioeconomy and the blue economy provide an opportunity to balance environmental, social and economic goals and to set human activities on a path to sustainability.

They will also foster participatory approaches to research and innovation, including the multi-actor approach and develop knowledge and innovation systems and the spread of excellence at local, regional, national and European levels. Social innovation with citizens' engagement and trust in innovation and food systems - through an increasing transparency of the food chain –will be crucial to encourage new governance, production and consumption patterns, which is also dependent on the information sharing by labelling of sustainable products to help the consumers to choose sustainable products and be aware of their recyclability. Through this multi-actor approach along the agri-food supply chain they will work towards guaranteeing that knowledge is transferred to end-users and will involve farmers and other users of agricultural technologies and products in the process of developing and implementing innovative developments to address challenges across food systems.

Resilient and sustainable farming and forestry systems provide economic, environmental and social benefits in a changing context for primary production. In addition to contributing to food and nutrition security, they feed into dynamic value chains, manage land and natural resources as well as deliver a range of vital public goods including carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, pollination and public health. Integrated approaches are needed to promote the multiple functions of agro- and forest (eco)systems taking into account the changing context for primary production, notably in relation to climate and environment, resource availability, demography and consumption patterns. It is also necessary to address the spatial and socio-economic dimension of agriculture and forestry activities and mobilise the potential of rural areas.

Integrated approaches are needed to promote the multiple functions of agro- and forest (eco)systems taking into account objectives of the CAP and the changing context for primary production, notably in relation to climate and environment, resource availability, competitiveness, demography and consumption patterns as well as new emerging pests and diseases. This presupposes acquiring a better scientific understanding of the impact of different farming systems on the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems. It is also necessary to address the spatial and socio-economic dimension of agriculture and forestry activities and mobilise the potential of rural areas. Farmers also need continued access to innovation, to new technology and to research in order to produce food in a sustainable way so that we can both feed the world and protect the environment for future generations. In addition, it is important to address the dynamism of the rural-urban interface in the context of the expanding cities versus farming/forestry landscapes, residence versus work place dynamism and liveable countryside.

unsustainable while we are confronted with the double burden of malnutrition, characterised by the coexistence of undernutrition and obesity. Future food systems need to be resilient and aim at carbon neutrality and deliver sufficient safe, diverse, affordable, healthy and quality food for all, underpinned by resource efficiency, economic and environmental sustainability (including the reduction of GHG emissions, pollution and waste production), linking land and aquatic environments, reducing and recycling food waste, enhancing food production from the seas and oceans and encompassing the entire 'food value chain' from producers to consumers – and back again. This needs to go hand in hand with development of the food safety system of the future and the design, development and delivery of tools, technologies and digital solutions that provide significant benefits to all actors of the food chain and improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the food value chain. Agricultural technologies can provide sustainable solutions across all farming systems. Furthermore, there is a need to foster behavioural changes in food consumption and production patterns towards nutritious and healthy diets as well as to engage primary producers, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services.
