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 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

AD\1165338EN.docx 3/50 PE625.445v02-00

EN

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’.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety calls on the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as the committee responsible, to take into account the following amendments:

contribute 35% of the overall financial envelope of the Specific Programme to climate objectives. Relevant actions will be identified, in consultation with relevant stakeholders and civil society, during the Specific Programme's preparation and implementation, and reassessed in the context of the relevant evaluations and review processes.

Amendment 2



(6) The Specific Programme's actions should be used to address market failures or sub-optimal investment situations, in a proportionate manner, without duplicating or crowding out private financing and have a clear European added value.

(6) The Specific Programme's actions should be used to address market failures, in particular through research and innovation (R&I) addressing neglected societal challenges that suffer from sub-optimal investment situations and boost investment without duplicating or crowding out private financing and have a clear European added value.

Amendment 3

Amendment 4



(7) Reflecting the important contribution that research and innovation should make to address challenges in food, agriculture, rural development and the bioeconomy, and to seize the corresponding research and innovation opportunities in close synergy with Common Agricultural Policy, relevant actions under the Specific Programme will be supported with EUR 10 billion for the cluster 'Food and Natural Resources' for the period 2021-2027.

Amendment 5



(7a) Our future is intimately linked to the future of the seas, oceans and coasts. The seas, oceans and coasts provide multiple ecosystem services and a wealth of resources, influence climate and provide many economic opportunities. The concept “Blue Economy” (every economic activity associated to oceans, seas, ports and coastal areas) was defined by the European Commission in its report in September 2012 Communication from the Commission: Blue Growth opportunities for marine and maritime sustainable growth. Horizon Europe should give special attention to activities related to the Blue Economy in all pillars with special focus on clusters ‘Food and Natural Resources’.

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, industry (including SMEs), retailers, food service sectors, consumers, and public services.
