Justification:Already today, young people in Europe expressed their solidarity in various projects, including the EuropeanVoluntary Service, which had celebrated its 20th anniversary this year.

A lack of a European solution to solve the entire refugee problem will not be solved with a European YouthCorps. It also raises the question of whether the European Union is actually taking action against the highrate of youth unemployment in some countries, or whether it only creates a further option for job-seekers,young people, for example, to make unpaid internships before they find a job.

European islands, Outermost Regions (ORs) and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) share thesame climate change challenges as some of the least developed countries (LDCs) and small islanddeveloping states (SIDS). The EU has set up a mechanism for financing adaptation to climate change inthe LDCs and SIDS through the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA +).

The establishment of a similar European Fund for the adaptation of European islands, OutermostRegions and Overseas Countries and Territories to the challenges of climate change would help make upfor their ineligibility for GCCA + funding and mitigate the impact of climate change on them.

The EU does not finance ethically controversial research, such as embryonic stem cell research.

Justification:EU financing of ethically controversial research contravenes the subsidiarity principle, because EU policyshould be made where the objectives cannot be sufficiently achieved at Member State level (in conformitywith Article 5 of the Treaty). This is not the case for controversial research, such as embryonic stem cellresearch, because the respective legislative frameworks are totally different among Member States. This kindof research should therefore be excluded from financial support by Horizon 2020.

The aim of this activity is to help companies and other types of organisation engaged in research andinnovation (R & I) to gain easier access, via financial instruments, to loans, guarantees, counter-guaranteesand hybrid, mezzanine and equity finance. Attention should be paid to facilitating access of femaleentrepreneurs to the risk finance, and creation of networks involving exchange of information withfemale entrepreneurs on possibilities of the finance. Debt and equity facilities will be run in a demand-driven manner, though the priorities of particular sectors or of other Union programmes will be targeted iftop-up funding is made available. The focus is on attracting private investments into R & I. The EuropeanInvestment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) will play an important role, as entrustedentities, in implementing each financial instrument facility on behalf of and in partnership with theCommission. Part of this appropriation will be used to reinforce, in the form of paid-in capital, the EIF’scapital base.

Justification:Change concerns remark only. One of the biggest hurdles for female entrepreneurs is still the access tofinance, especially the venture capital finance, with venture capital industry being male dominated andwomen having less access to networks exchanging information on financing projects. Therefore it isimportant to ensure that women will have the opportunity to access the available financing.

Under this activity emphasis will be placed on resource-efficient .......... evidence-based data and analyseswill also be supported.



Justification:The reduction in the level of commitments and payments compared with 2017 is a step in the direction ofcutting non-vital expenditures. However, in a period of economic crisis, even more decisive cuts should bemade to this budget line.

Justification:Especially in times of intense discussions about the reduction of CO2 emissions throughout the EU, thebudget should be strengthened for research projects in an environmentally-friendly transport system. Due tothe rising societal and environmental challenges that are tackled with this budget line, such as CO2emissions or the external costs of transport, the budget line should be further increased. An increasedavailability of financial resources would further promote research projects, partnerships, and instruments on

sustainable transport and smart mobility within Europe.

Justification:There is a risk of falling short of meeting the objective of devoting at least 20 % of EU expenditure in the2014-2020 MFF to climate-related actions unless more efforts are made. This is a budget line on which theCommission and the Council are proposing cuts to commitment appropriations compared to the Budget2017.

Former Item 08 02 03 06 (in part)

The aim of this activity is to contribute to making European societies more inclusive, innovative andreflective, by promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Actions will support coordinatedpolicymaking through the development of evidence, tools, forward-looking activities and pilots to increasetransnational efficiency and economic impact of research and innovation policies and achieve a well-functioning European Research Area and Innovation Union. Actions will also aim at closing the innovationdivide, ensuring societal engagement in research and innovation and fostering gender balance in researchteams, promoting coherent and effective cooperation with third countries and developing an understandingof Europe’s intellectual basis: its history and the many European and non-European influences, as aninspiration for our lives today.


Council Decision 2013/743/EU of 3 December 2013 establishing the specific programme implementingHorizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) and repealingDecisions 2006/971/EC, 2006/972/EC, 2006/973/EC, 2006/974/EC and 2006/975/EC (OJ L 347,20.12.2013, p. 965), and in particular point (f) of Article 3(3) thereof.


Regulation (EU) 2015/1017 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2015 on the European

70

Fund for Strategic Investments, the European Investment Advisory Hub and the European InvestmentProject Portal and amending Regulations (EU) No 1291/2013 and (EU) No 1316/2013 — the European Fundfor Strategic Investments (OJ L 169, 1.7.2015, p. 1).

Justification:As the UK is leaving the EU there will need to be budgetary readjustments from the loss of revenue. Thisbudget line primarily deals with matters which should not be for the State to do, certainly at European Unionlevel. Whilst inclusivity is a laudable goal, it should be achieved bottom-up rather than imposed by the State.

Justification:H2020 shows high demand for eligible proposals and strong competitive environment with high qualityproposals amounting to 44.7% of all eligible proposals. Still the average support rate for high qualityprojects is ca. 26%, where 34,000 high quality projects remain unfunded due to oversubscription. Thesupport rate for high quality proposals in Future and emerging technologies is the lowest with 8%.Stakeholders have repeatedly called for the budget to be increased to match the demand. The proposedappropriations would increase the support rate of high quality proposals by ca. 10%.

Justification:Due to its popularity, FET-Open has received many more excellent proposals than could be funded leadingto a massive oversubscription and criticism from Member States and the research community. Success ratesin Horizon 2020 to date have been around 6% for each call, whereas 94% of the projects were rejected, andthe small number of projects funded in each topic makes it hard to reach the critical mass of projects neededto create new technology eco-systems that support the take-up of FET research. For that reason, an increasedbudget is highly needed.

Justification:For 2014-2016, the level of appropriations implemented reached nearly 100 %, with the amount of eligiblesteadily proposals rising each year. Although the average success rate lies at 45%, the MEDIA sub-programme has set a restrictive set of eligibility criteria on certain schemes in order to focus on high qualityapplications. Thus, for example, the Development schemes have success rate of 15% due to lack of similaravailable funding on national level. A flat-rate increase of 5% in the appropriations would lead on average tofunding of 50-60 more projects in the oversubscribed schemes.

Justification:In principle, funding programs must be designed to initiate a development, resolve or mitigate problems andthus lead to a lasting improvement of the situation. They should therefore set an impetus, but they should notconstitute a permanent subsidy. Since subsidies which have already begun raise expectations among therecipients of payments, each subsidy must be limited in time. In addition, the objectives of agriculturalpolicy are to be regularly examined for their effectiveness and to promote innovation in the agriculturalsector.

Justification:

150

The real convergence of all the European regions, including those less developed and their more vulnerablesocial groups, should be a crucial priority of the EU. It is needed to go beyond of the proposed increasing inorder to reduce the breach between rich and poorest regions, affected by an unfair European division ofproduction.

Justification:It is important to reduce the social and economic disparities within enlarged EU. The best means ofachieving this is to rebalance the levels of funding between "less developed regions" and "more developedregions", and consider that slightly more funding should be put towards the former, and slightly less funding

154

to the latter, without changing the overall envelope of the ERDF 2018. The reduction of disparities withinthe EU concerns mostly the less developed regions. Therefore, a slight decrease of this budget item, foreseenfor more developed regions is justified.

This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in moredeveloped regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regionswill remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challengesthat concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shifttowards the low carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate.

Justification:The specific allocation for ORs provided for in the 2014-2020 cohesion policy, is the direct translation of thespecific provision made by Article 349 TFEU for ORs’ access to structural funds. Given the structural socialand economic situation of ORs, acknowledged by article 349 TFUE (remoteness, insularity, economicdependence...), the decrease in payment appropriations proposed by the Council could have dramaticconsequences to ORs, where the unemployment of young people reaches 60%.

Justification:The specific allocation for ORs provided for in the 2014-2020 cohesion policy, is the direct translation of thespecific provision made by Article 349 TFEU for ORs’ access to structural funds. Given the structural socialand economic situation of ORs, acknowledged by article 349 TFUE (remoteness, insularity, economicdependence....), the decrease in payment appropriations proposed by the Council could have dramaticconsequences to ORs, where the unemployment of young people reaches 60%.
