competitiveness, growth and jobs in the European Union. In its conclusions of 13 May 2003, of 22 September 2003
and of 24 September 2004, the Council highlighted the
importance of further developing actions following the 3
Action Plan for
research and the innovation policy,
including the development of new initiatives aimed at
intensifying cooperation between industry and the public
sector in funding research to enhance transnational public-
private links.

The Aeronautics European Technology Platform Advisory
Council
for Aeronautics Research in Europe ACARE
developed a Strategic Research Agenda, which identified as
one of its high priorities the reduction of aviations impact
on the environment. It also concluded that technological
changes are needed in order to achieve by 2020 the goals of
cutting CO2 emissions by 50 , reducing NOx emissions by
80 , reducing perceived external noise by 50 , and
making substantial progress in reducing the impact of
manufacture, maintenance and disposal of aircrafts and
related products on the environment. The extent of the effort required to address the environ-
mental challenges to the air transport system as defined in
the Strategic Research Agenda of ACARE justified the
setting up of a Joint Undertaking as the appropriate
instrument to coordinate the relevant research activities. failure which discourage private investment
The Clean Sky JTI should mitigate the various risks of

aeronautics research in general, and in clean Air Transport
technologies in particular. It should provide integration and
demonstration at the level of the system as a whole, thus
decreasing the risk for private investment in developing
new environmentally friendly aeronautics products. It
should stimulate private R D investment in environmen-
tally friendly technologies in the European Union, thus
addressing the
existing R D and environmental
externalities. 9

strategic environmental and social
priorities,
in combination with sustainable economic
growth. 10 The Clean Sky JTI should be a public-private partnership
associating all key stakeholders. Taking into account the
long-term nature of this partnership, the necessary pooling
and availability of financial resources, the high scientific and
technical expertise required, including the management of a
vast amount of knowledge, and appropriate intellectual
property rules, it is vital to set up a legal entity capable of
ensuring the coordinated use and efficient management of
the funds assigned to the Clean Sky JTI. It is therefore
appropriate to set up a Joint Undertaking under Article 171
of the Treaty hereinafter referred to as the Clean Sky Joint
Undertaking. 11 The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking aims at addressing the
implementation of
innovative, environmentally-friendly
technologies in all segments of civil air transport, including
large commercial aircraft, regional aircraft and rotorcraft,
and in all supporting technologies such as engines, systems
and materials life cycle. The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking
will deliver full scale demonstrators in all areas of research
activities, which should be tested either in flight or on the
ground, as a result of a fully integrated approach and
monitoring of the technological progress and impact. 12 The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking should be set up for the
period up to 31 December 2017 to ensure the appropriate
management of research activities, including exploitation of
the Clean Sky Joint

initiated but not
concluded during the Seventh Framework Programme. However, exploitation of results will not be funded by the
Joint Undertaking. 13 The members of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking should be
the European Community represented by the Commission
as public representative, the leaders of Integrated Technol-
ogy Demonstrators hereinafter referred to as ITDs and the
Associate members of the individual ITDs. 14 The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking should be open to new
members. 15 The Clean Sky Joint Undertaking should be a body set up
by the Communities, and discharge for the implementation
of its budget should be given by the European Parliament,
on a recommendation from the Council, taking however
into account the particular characteristics resulting from the
nature of
JTIs as public-private partnerships and in
particular from the private sector contribution to the
budget. 16 The leaders of
ITDs have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding committing their respective companies to
technical, managerial and financial participation in the
Clean Sky Joint Undertaking for its full duration. All
Associate members have committed themselves
to a

alia, from the European Investment Bank EIB, in particular
through the Risk-Sharing Finance Facility developed jointly
with the EIB and the Commission, pursuant to Annex III of
Decision 2006971EC. 18 The running costs of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking
should be covered equally by the Community and the other
members. 19 The leaders of ITDs and the Associate Members of the
individual ITDs should receive support from the Clean Sky
