Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to foster the competitiveness of enterprises and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to promote innovation, including eco-innovation, and to support enterprise and innovation-related economic and administrative reform.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

— market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.

The Union will provide support to activities such as the Enterprise Europe Network, innovation and entrepreneurship promotion. It will also support eco-innovation projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Union relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

As the ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ preparatory action, expires in 2011 and will be integrated in the new multiannual financial framework only as of 2014, its continuation needs financing for the years 2012 and 2013. The programme aims at fostering European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best practices as well as the creation of valuable networks and partnerships. Part of this appropriation should be used to ensure the smooth functioning and continuation of ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ through the CIP's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme until the new financial framework is put in place.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The proposed action aims at developing and testing innovation support services for European knowledge-based start-up companies which make use of the extended networks of European expatriates in science and business in the Silicon Valley. Young companies shall thus realise faster market access and growth overseas while creating high-value added jobs in Europe. This requires coordinated action of European innovation support providers. The action shall therefore ultimately explore the feasibility of a joint ‘European Innovation Centre’ in an innovation hot spot. This centre shall link official representations (chambers of commerce, consulates and industry representations), innovation support providers for European start-ups with European entrepreneurs and scientists that chose to live and work in the Silicon Valley for better coordinated support to potential high-growth companies.

Target groups

Central to this action is the development and piloting of novel services which facilitate fast growth and access to capital for young knowledge-based companies by combining the networks of European expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers in the Silicon Valley with the services of regional / national innovation support agencies in Europe.

One knowledge based young company from each Member State shall be invited to test the services, to establish own networks in the Silicon Valley ecosystem and to feed-back experience and advice on the future design of such services.

Innovation agencies in the Member States are invited to select the young companies and to accompany the project contributing their expertise in the support of young companies. Agencies with offices in the Silicon Valley shall be invited to contribute to the design and provision of services in particular the provision of office space for the European young companies.

Networks of expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers (1) shall be invited to contribute to the training and networking of European young companies and co-design innovation support services targeted at young knowledge-based companies.

Proposed activities

(1) Two workshops or conferences (one in the United States, one in Europe) which bring together European innovation support providers with expatriate scientists or entrepreneurs to further develop an approach for a joint delivery of support to young companies with growth potential.

(2) An accompanying study evaluating the expectations and experience of knowledge-based young companies as well as of expat networks participating.

(3) The design and delivery of specific support services for a group of 27 knowledge-based young companies with growth potential from all Member States. These services shall include the organisation of sector specific networking and training events in the Silicon Valley.

(4) A final conference with stakeholders from the European Parliament, the Commission services, young companies benefiting from pilot action, representatives of the expatriates’ networks and innovation support agencies.

(5) Specific communication actions related to the action.

A suitable platform for the proposed action is the ProInno Europe/Europe Innova initiative established by the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry to facilitate policy development and joint service provision of regional and national innovation agencies.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

In addition, part of this appropriation is intended to finance a Young Innovators Mobility (YIM) action. It is generally recognised that professional mobility is essential to the development of a versatile workforce, to a sense of European citizenship, and to reinforcing Europe's competitiveness. Innovative ideas should not stop at national borders, they should grow through cross-fertilisation, testing and validation within the widest European pool of talent, facilities, infrastructure and financing. Just as European students benefit from the mobility experience of the Erasmus programme, young researchers from the Marie Curie actions, and young entrepreneurs from Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, young innovators too deserve the opportunity for cross-border mobility to the benefit of innovation in Europe. Existing mobility programmes do not match the scope covered by the YIM action, which focuses on the Innovation process of developing new early-stage ideas into demonstrators. For instance, this project differentiates itself from Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs which is mainly a business exchange programme focussed on the post-innovation stage, enabling new entrepreneurs to learn or improve their business-related skills. By combining the benefits of mobility, the need to narrow the innovation gap and the need to change the mindset to promote innovation, the proposal for a YIM action constitutes a concrete step towards the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs and the ‘Innovation Union’ as well as ‘Youth on the Move’ flagship initiatives in particular.

The YIM action aims to support a minimum of 100 young innovators. YIM would operate as a borderless mobility and innovation residency programme, enabling young (25 to 36 years old) and potential innovators (18 to 24 years old) to work on their own early-stage idea as a ‘young innovator in residence’ at a host organisation which could be a large or small company, start-up, laboratory, university, institute, government agency or NGO.

Legal basis

Decision No 1639/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing a Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 15).

European Earth monitoring programme (GMES)

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to:

— enable initial operations of GMES services, tailored to the needs of users,

— contribute to ensuring availability of the observation infrastructure necessary to enable the GMES services,

— create opportunities for increased private sector usage of information sources, thereby facilitating innovation by value-adding service providers.

In particular, development of Earth monitoring-based services plays a key role in enhancing competitiveness and innovation in industries in this sector and in the downstream markets. Sustainable provision of Earth monitoring-related services in Europe still requires consistent public intervention. This is not only because of market failures in answering diverse public needs but also because the downstream market is a non-mature market relying heavily on public funding and whose development has, until today, been significantly curbed by uncertainties about the affordability and long-term availability of the basic services and the data they build upon. Achievement of the specific objectives outlined above will therefore contribute to growth and job creation in an innovative sector, the downstream segment which is composed mainly of small and medium-sized enterprises. These services will facilitate access to key data required in policy formulation at Union, national, regional and local level in fields such as agriculture, forest monitoring, water management, transport, urban planning, climate change and many others. This appropriation also covers implementation of delegation agreements, including the operating costs incurred by entities to which the Commission delegates tasks for the GMES programme, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 and Article 54 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

New item

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of the functioning and activities of European non-governmental and non-profit organisations representing the interests of SMEs and consumers, as well as environmental and social interests, in standardisation activities.

Such representation in the standardisation process at European level forms part of the statutory objectives of such organisations, and they have been mandated by national non-profit organisations in at least two thirds of the Member States to represent those interests.

Contributions to such European organisations have previously been covered by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the consumer policy and the Financial Instrument for the environment, LIFE +. In the recent proposal for a regulation on European standardisation, the Commission proposed to bring together in a single legal act the actions in the field of standardisation financed by specific programmes.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover technical assistance measures as provided for by Article 66(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, and in particular the European Network for Rural Development.

Part of this appropriation is intended to steadily expand the European Rural Solidarity Network, which has been in operation for two years now.

1. Aim: to create a European area of solidarity, prevention and research — Phase 1: consolidating the current solidarity network. — Phase 2: expanding the network to offer other European countries the benefits of its expertise in taking preventive action to safeguard agricultural employment and maintain the economic vitality of rural areas. There is an urgent need to share and standardise the comprehensive support schemes already in use and to exchange views on exactly what being ‘in difficulty’ means, with a view to detecting people who are in this situation, using common criteria referred to as ‘alarm signals’. These prevention tools will help newly established support groups to address the problems faced in rural areas more effectively.

2. Action to be taken: dissemination of prevention tools The following tools need to be disseminated as widely as possible among European farmers: — ‘alarm signals’: the basic preventive self-assessment tool to be used by farmers to assess the difficulties they face. This tool will enable farmers to determine exactly how bad their situation is, so that they can seek the assistance of agencies able to help them out of their difficulties at the earliest possible stage, — ‘simplified management tool’: this financial self-assessment tool will enable farmers to assess the financial situation of their farms and to anticipate difficulties, determine how much scope they have for investment or diversification and keep to a pre-established recovery plan. Training in the use of the simplified management tool will be provided by the individual support groups at national level. The training will be targeted at people looking after and supporting farmers in difficulty.

Pilot project — Exchange programme for young farmers

Budget 2013 Amending budget No. 8/2013 New amount Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments p.m. 750 000 p.m. 750 000

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to establish an exchange programme for young farmers, which would allow for cross-border exchanges of best practice in farm management, in particular in relation to the challenges facing European agriculture, in order to aid in the development of Europe's rural areas.

This programme would provide an invaluable opportunity for young farmers to experience at first hand the diverse agricultural realities in the Union by spending time on farms based in a different MemberState. This exchange of knowledge and experience among Europe's young farmers would further equip them to meet the demands of European consumers, to contribute to food security and to address other challenges facing European agriculture such as the use of renewable energies, biodiversity loss and carbon storage.
