— The principle of unity and the principle of budg etary accur acy mean that all revenue and expenditure of the Union when it is charged to 
the budget must be incor porate d in a sing le document. 
— The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopt ed for one budgeta ry year at a time and that both commitment and payment 
appropr iations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year . 
— The principle of equilibr ium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropr iations for that 
year; borrowing to cover any budget deficit whic h may arise is not compati ble with the own resources system and will not be 
author ised. 
— In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implement ed in euros and the accounts must be 
present ed in euros. 
— The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropr iations with the excep tion of a limite d number 
of revenue items whic h are assigned to particular items of expenditure. Revenue and expenditure are entered in full in the budget 
without any adjustment against each other . 
— The principle of specifi cation means that each appropr iation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specifi c objective in order 
to prevent any confusion between appropr iations. 
— The principle of sound financial managemen t is defined by reference to the principles of economy , efficiency and effectiveness. 
— The principle of transpar ency ensures sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts. 
The budget presents revenue and expenditure appropr iations by section, one for each of the Union institutions as defined in point 67 of 
Article 2 of the Financial Regulation. The revenue appropr iations common to all Union institutions (own resources, surpluses, balances 
and adjustments) are presented in a separate section ‘Total revenue’. 
In accordance with Article 47 of the Financial Regulation, Commission revenue and the revenue appropr iations and expenditure 
appropr iations of the other Union institutions are classif ied according to their type or the use to which they are assigned. The section of 
the budget relating to the Commission is classified according to the purpose of the expenditure, with a view to enhancing transparency in 
the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financia l manage ment and in particular efficiency and 
effectiveness. 
On its expenditure side, the budget contains diffe rentiated appropr iations, which consist of commitment appropr iations and payment 
appropr iations, and non-differ entiated appropr iations. Commitment appropr iations cover the total cost of the legal commitments 
entered into during the financial year, whereas payment appropr iations cover payments made to honour the legal commitments entered 
into in the financial year or preceding financia l years. 
For 2021, the expenditure appropr iations author ised by the budget totals EUR 164 251 460 615 in commitments and 
EUR 166 060 468 256 in payments, representing a variation rate of -5,5 % and of 1,2 % respectively by compari son with the 2020 
budget (including amending budgets). EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union 17.3.2021                                                                                                                                           L 93/11   
In accordance with Article 312 of the TFEU, the budget complies with the ceilings for the year 2021 of the multiannual financial 
framewor k (MFF) for the period 2021-2027 in accordance with Council Regulation (EU, Eurat om) 2020/2093 of 17 December 2020 
laying down the multiannual financial framew ork for the years 2021 to 2027 (OJ L 433I, 22.12.2020, p. 11). In this respect, this 
section ( ‘General statement of expenditure’ ) includes two overview tables presenting the budget according to the structure by heading of

A. FINANCING OF THE UNION’S ANNU AL BUDGET 
Introduction 
According to the equilibr ium principle, the total budget ed revenue of the Union must equal the tota l budget ed expenditure of the Union. 
When deter mining Member States’ own-resource contr ibutions the starting point is the total amount of author ised expenditure. A small 
part of that amount is covered by other revenue (taxes levied on the salar ies of Union staff, inter est on late payments, fines and 
contr ibutions from third countr ies to certain programmes, etc.). The remainder is financed by Member State s’ own-resou rce 
contr ibutions. 
Own resources can be divided into the follo wing categor ies: 
— traditional own resources (TOR), mainly customs duties, collect ed on behalf of the Union by the Member States; 
— the own resource based on value added tax (VAT): a small propor tion of the VAT collect ed by each Member State; 
— the own resource based on gross national income (GNI), which is a propor tion of Member States’ GNI aggregat e. It serves as the 
balancing resource. It finances all spending not covered by other sources of revenue so that revenue and expenditure are alwa ys in 
balance. 
The key for determining the own resources is the own resources decision. The current decision was agreed on 26 May 2014 and, ratifi ed 
by all Member States, entered into force on 1 October 2016, with retroactive effect from 1 Januar y 2014 (1). 
The revenue nomenclature has been simplified this year. The main modifi cations reshuff le the number ing of titles, articles and items, 
regroups items in a more coherent way, consolidate s old Titles 4, 5 and 9 in one sing le title and restr uctures Title 6 according to the new 
expenditure breakdown by programme. Title 6 also includes the contr ibutions of the United Kingdom to the budget in the framewor k of 
the Agreement on the withdrawa l of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Nor ther n Ireland from the European Union and the 
European Atomic Energy Community . 
Budgetary revenue totals EUR 166 060 468 256. The unif orm rate of call for the VAT-based own resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the 
GNI resource is 0,8659 %. Traditional own resources account for 10,60 % of the financing of the 2021 budget. The VAT-based own 
resource accounts for 10,82 % and the GNI-based own resource for 73,04 %. Other revenue for financial year 2021 is estimated at 
EUR 9 193 040 514. 
The own resources needed to finance the 2021 budget account for 1,12 % of the total GNI. 
The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculat e the financing of the 2021 budget.

Remark s 
The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, provid ing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of 
the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By 
implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the budget is alwa ys balanced ex ante. 
The GNI call rate is deter mined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budget ed expenditure not covered by 
the other resources (VAT-based resource, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to 
the GNI of each of the Member States. 
The rate to be applied to the Member States’ GNI for financial year 2021 is 0,8659 %.

Remark s 
New item 
This appropr iation is intended to cover the scientific and technical suppor t and research activities carried out by the 
Joint Research Centre (JRC). 
High-quality and trusted scientifi c evidence is essential for good public policies. New initiatives and proposals for 
Union legislation need transparent, comprehensive and balanced evidence, whereas implementation of policies needs 
evidence to measure and monitor their impact and progress. 
The JRC adds value to Union policies because its science is excellent, multi-disciplinar y and independent of national, 
private and other external interests. Serving all areas of Union policy , it provides the cross-sect oral suppor t that 
policymak ers need to tackle increasing ly compl ex societal challeng es. The JRC's independence from special interests 
combined with its scientific- technical reference role enable it to facilitate consensus building between stak eholders and 
other actors such as citizens, and policy mak ers. With its capacity to respond rapidly to policy needs, the JRC's 
activities are compl ementar y with indirect actions aiming at suppor ting long er term policy objectives. COMMI SSION

The JRC performs its own research and is a strategic manage r of kno wledge, information, data and compet ences to 
deliver high quality and relevant evidence for smar ter policies. To achieve this, the JRC works together with the best 
organisations world-wide, and with international, national and regional exper ts and stakeho lders. Its research 
contr ibutes to the general objectives and priorities of Hor izon Europe, provides independent scientific kno wledge, 
advice and technical suppor t for Union policies throughout the policy cycle, and is focussed on Union policy 
priorities, suppor ting a Europe that is safe and secure, prosperous and sustainable, social and stronger on the global 
scene. 
This appropr iation covers specifi c expenditure relating to researc h and suppor t activities, including the purch ase of 
scientific and technical equipment, subcontracting of scientific and technical services, access to information and 
acquisition of consumables. This includes expenditure on scientifi c infrastr ucture directly incur red for the projects

Whilst the EIC and the EIT KICs may directly suppor t innovati ons across the Union, the overall envi ronment from 
whic h European innovations nurture and emerg e must be further developed and enhanced: findings in fundamental 
researc h lead to market-creating inno vations. It must be a common European endeav our to suppor t innovati on all 
across Europe, and in all dimensions and forms, including through compl ementar y Union national and regional 
policies (including through effective synergies with the European Regional Development Fund and smar t 
specialisation strateg ies) and resources whenever possible. Hence, this pillar provid es also for renewed and reinf orced 
coordination and cooperation mechanisms with Member States and associated countr ies, but also with private 
initiatives, in order to suppor t all actor s of the European inno vation ecosystems, including at regional and local level; 
Additionally , as a continued effort to enhance risk-finance capacities for research and innovati on in Europe, this pillar 
will closely link with the InvestEU Programme. Building on the successes and the exper iences gained under Hor izon 
2020 InnovFi n, as well as under the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the InvestEU Programme will enhance 
access to risk finance for bankable entities, as well as for inve stors.

Remark s 
Appropr iations under this chapt er are intended to cover the Research and Training Programme of the European 
Atomic Energy Community (Eurat om Research and Training Programme). That programme deals with the key issues 
of the various applications of nuclear energy in Europe. Using the power and non-power applications of nuclear 
energy to benefi t the general public in Europe calls for long-t erm efforts to reduce safety and secur ity risks and 
suppor t the development of safe nuclear technologies and optimal radiation prote ction. Public and private research at 
national level has a signif icant role to play in this effort. Euratom ’s task is to compl ement the Member State s’ 
contr ibutions by means of a Community-based research and training programme. 
The objectives of the Eurat om Research and Training Programme 2021-2025 are: 
— to pursue nuclear research and training activities to suppor t continuous impro vement of nuclear safety , secur ity 
and radiation prote ction, 
— to poten tially contr ibut e to the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system in a safe, effic ient and secure way. 
The Eurat om Research and Training Programme shall also: impro ve the safe and secure use of nuclear energy and non- 
power applications of ionizing radiation, including nuclear safety , secur ity, safegua rds, radiation protection, safe spent 
fuel and radioactive waste manage ment and decommissioning; maintain and further develop exper tise and 
compe tence in the Community ; foster the development of fusion energy and contr ibut e to the implementation of the 
fusion roadmap; and suppor t the policy of the Community on nuclear safety , safeg uards and secur ity. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
The ITER project aims to demonstrate fusion as a viable and sustainable source of energy by building and operating an 
exper imental fusion reactor as a major step towards the creation of prototype reactors for fusion power stations that 
are safe, sustainable, envi ronmentally responsible and economically viable. Fusion is expect ed to play an important 
role in Europe ’s future energy landscape as a climate friendly energy source. It is particularly impor tant following the 
2015 Paris Agreement on climat e change and the Union commitment to lead the way in decarbonising the economy 
and tackling climate change in a cost effective manner . In this regard, it will contr ibut e to the European Green Deal 
objective of no net greenhouse gases emission in 2050 and will foste r the mobilisation of European high-tec h 
industr ies, which are involved in the constr uction of ITER and provide the Union with a global competitive advantage 
in this promising sector . 
The European Joint Under taking for ITER and the Development of Fusion for Energy has been established by Decision 
2007/198/Eurat om. The tasks of the Joint Under taking are as follows: 
— to provid e the contr ibution of Euratom to the ITER Internati onal Fusion Energy Organisation, 
— to provide the contr ibution of Eurat om to broader approach activities with Japan for the rapid realisation of fusion 
energy , COMMI SSION

Remark s 
Appropr iations under this chapt er are intended to cover actions focused on reinf orcing Europe's capacities in high 
perf ormance computing , artificial intelligence, cybersecur ity and advanced digital skills and ensur ing their wide use 
across the economy and society . Foster ed simultaneously , these will help creat e a thriving data econom y, promote 
inclusiveness and equal oppor tunities for all and ensure value creation. Most impor tantly , the programme will 
concentrat e on the areas where no sing le Member State alone can ensure the level required for digital success. Focus 
will also be placed on those areas where public spending has the highest impact, notably on impro ving efficiency and 
quality of services in the areas of public interest such as health, environment, climate, mobility and public 
administrations, and helping small and medium-sized enter prises (SMEs) to adap t to digital change. 
The Digital Europe programme will also consider the added value of combining digital with other enabling 
technologies in order to maximise benefits from digitisation.

ERA contr ibut es to the further development and effective functioning of a sing le European railwa y area without 
frontiers, by guarant eeing a high level of railwa y safety and interoperability , while improving the competitive position 
of the railwa y sector . In particular , the ERA contr ibut es, on technical matters, to the implementation of Union 
legislation by developing a common approac h to safety on the Union rail system and by enhancing the level of 
interoperability on the Union rail system. Further objectives of the ERA are to follow the reduction of national railwa y

Remark s 
Appropr iations under this chap ter are intende d to contr ibute to the well-functioning of the sing le market for goods 
and services, including financial services, anti-money launder ing and the free move ment of capital, and to provid e 
high quality European statistics on all Union policies, as per the purpose of the Programme for sing le mark et, 
compe titiveness of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises, and European statistics (the 'Sing le 
Mark et Programme'). In particular , the programme will suppor t the design, implementation and enforcement of the 
Union legislation under pinning the proper functioning of the sing le mark et for goods and services, including financial 
services, anti-money launder ing and the free move ment of capital, as well as capacity building, coordination of joint 
actions between Member States and the Commission, and the international dimension of the internal market. It will 
also suppor t women’s participation and contr ibute to the empo werment of all actor s of the sing le mark et: businesses, 
citizens including consumers, civil society and public author ities. The Sing le Marke t Programme brings together six 
preceding programmes from differ ent policy areas, notably the grants and contracts part of the Programme for the 
Com petitiveness of Enter prises and small and medium-sized enterpr ises (COSME), programmes on consumer 
prot ection, enhancing the participation of consumers and other end-users in financia l services policy-making, the 
development of international financia l, auditing and corporat e repor ting standards, measures to contr ibute to a high 
level of health for humans, animals and plants along the food chain and in related areas and European statistics. In 
addition, the programme includes several other budgetary lines concer ning, in particular mark et surveillance, 
compan y law, contract and extra-contractual law, standardisation and suppor t for competition policy , custom s and 
taxation. The impact assessment showed that one sing le programme will creat e synergies contr ibuting to more agile 
and efficient budgetary spending. 
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contr ibutions received from third countr ies 
(EFT A States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countr ies and, if applicable, the 
Wester n Balkan poten tial candidates, or other countr ies) for participating in Union programmes, and any other 
assigned revenue, entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provis ion of corresponding appropr iations and

New item 
Within the internal mark et, the free move ment of goods is the most developed of all four fundamental freedoms. 
However , the increasing number of illegal and non-comp liant products on the mark et distor ts compet ition and puts 
consumers at risk. Many businesses disregard the rules either through lack of kno wledge or intentionall y to gain a 
compe titive advantag e. 
Mark et surveillance ensures that non-f ood products on the Union mark et do not endange r European consumers and 
worke rs. It also ensures the protection of other public interests such as the environment, secur ity and fairness in trade. 
Under the Sing le Marke t Programme, suppor t to mark et surveillance measures in the Union seeks to strengthen 
product compliance by provid ing the right incentives to entrepreneurs, intensifying compl iance checks and controls 
of products at the external borders, and promoting closer cross-border cooperation between market surveillance 
enforcement author ities. 
The Sing le Mark et Programme also contr ibut es to the consolidation of the existing framewor k for mark et surveillance

This appropr iation is intended to cover the continuation of aid under Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 to facilitat e the 
reunification of Cypr us by encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypr iot community with particular 
emphasis on economic integration of the island, on impro ving contacts between the two communities and with the 
Union and on preparation for the application of the Union acquis. Assistance is delivered in the areas specifi ed in that 
Regulation, and includes notably the promotion of social and economic development, the development and 
restr uctur ing of infrastr ucture, reconciliation, conf idence building measures and suppor t to civil society , bringing the 
Turkish Cypr iot community closer to the Union, including scholar ships for Turkish Cypr iot students. Also, the TAIEX 
instr ument is used for the preparation of lega l texts for the purpose of these being applicable upon the entr y into 
force of a compr ehensive settlement of the Cypr us problem, as well as for the preparation of the Union acquis 
immediate ly followi ng a political settlement for reunification. 
The appropr iations will, in particular , allow for the continuation of Union financia l suppor t to facilitate the 
intensifi cation of the work of the Committ ee on Missing Persons in order to meet the goals of its strateg ic plan on the 
faster identification of missing persons, as well as the implementation of the decisions of the bi-communal Technical 
Committ ee on Cultural Heritage, which should include projects of minor ities. 
This appropr iation is to be used, inter alia, to sustain the outcome of works, supplies and grants being funded under 
earlier allocations. In addition, grant schem es addressed to a large variety of economic and civil society beneficiar ies 
(non-gov ernmental organisations, students and teac hers, schools, farmers, small villages, and the private sector) may 
continue. These activities aim at socio-economic development and are driven by the prospect of reunificat ion. Priority 
should be given, where possible, to reconciliation projects that creat e bridges between the two communities and build 
confidence. These measures underline the strong desire and commitment of the Union to the Cypr us problem 
settlement and reunification.

New article 
The Union Civil Protection Mecha nism (rescEU) inter venes in all phases of the disaste r management cycle: prevention, 
preparedness and response, and its geographical scope is both within and outside the Union. 
As regar ds prevention, the mech anism aims in particular at foste ring a shared culture of prevention with activities 
suppor ting and promoting Member States’ risk assessment and risk reduction efforts, such as the shar ing of good 
practice, the compi lation and dissemination of information from Member State s on risk management activities 
including through cross-border projects, peer reviews, and advisor y missions. The mechanis m also provid es funding 
to scale-up Member States’ disaster risk manag ement strateg ies and to suppor t the development of projects leveraging 
disast er risk manag ement investments. 
Preparedness efforts are suppor ted, in particular , through the pooling of civil protection capacities in the form of the 
European Civil Protection Pool (ECPP), as well as the development of additional capacities at Union level to 
compl ement national efforts (the rescEU reser ve and the rescEU transition phase). Preparedness is also improved 
through training, exer cises, the exchange of best practices and exper ts, all under the umbrella of the Union Civil 
Prot ection Knowledg e Network. The mechanism also suppor ts the study and development of disaster detection and 
early warning systems, and promot es scientific analysis and exper t suppor t. COMMISS ION

New article 
This appropr iation is intended to cover the operational expenditure under the EU4Health Programme. Its objective is 
to prote ct people in the Union from serious cross-border threats to health; to improve the availabi lity, in the Union, of 
medicines, medical devices and other crisis relevant products, contr ibut e to their affordability , and suppor t inno vation; 
to strengthen health systems and the healthcare workf orce, including by digital transf ormation and by increased 
integrated and coordinat ed work among the Member States, sustained implementation of best practice and data 
shar ing; and to increase the general level of public health. 
The programme is to cater for a strong, legally sound and financially well-equipped framew ork for health crisis 
prevention, preparedness and response in the Union. This health-secur ity framewor k is to reinf orce national and 
Union capacity for contingenc y planning and enable Member States to jointly cope with common health threats, in 
particular cross-border threats, where Union intervention can add tangible value. The programme is to suppor t a ‘One 
Health’ long er-term vision of improving health outcomes through efficient and inclusive health systems across the 
Member States, through better disease prevention and surveillance, health promotion, access, diagnosis and treatment, 
as well as cross-border collaboration in health. This programme is to also address non-communicable diseases, which 
have been shown to be a strong determi nant of mor tality from COVID-19.

COVID-19 pandemic. The emerge ncy suppor t is to allow the Union to deplo y measures addressing, in a coordinat ed 
manner , the needs relat ed to the COVID-19 crisis, by compl ementing assistance provided through other Union 
instr uments. A coordinat ed action at Union level would make it possible to both address the current crisis and ensure 
a proper response in its afterm ath, inter alia, through: 
— wider and faster stoc k-piling and coordination of essential resource distr ibution across the Union, 
— meeting the transpor t needs for prote ctive gear to be impor ted from intern ational partners as well as transpor t 
across the Union, 
— the transpor tation of patients in need to cross-border hospitals which can offer free capacity , 
— cross-border cooperation to alleviat e the pressure on health syste ms in the most affect ed Union regions, 
— the central procurement and distr ibution of essential medical supplies to hospitals and the emerg ency supply of 
prote ctive gear for hospital staff, such as respirato rs, ventilators , personal prote ctive equipment, reusable masks, 
medicines, therapeutics and laborat ory supplies and disinf ectants, 
— increasing and conver ting production capacities of Union enter prises to ensure rapid production and deplo yment 
of equipment and mate rial needed to urgently address supplies shor tages of essential products and medicines, 
— increasing care facilities and resources, including temporar y and semi-per manent field hospitals and suppor t for 
reconve rted facilities, 
— increasing the production of testing kits and suppor t for acquir ing key basic substances, 
— boosting the swif t development of medication and testing methods, 
— developing, purchasing and distr ibuting testing supplies (testing kits, reag ents, hardware). 
This appropr iation may cover any of the humanitar ian aid actions eligible for Union financing , and may consequently 
encom pass assistance, relief and, where necessar y, prot ection operations to save and preser ve life in disast ers or in their 
immediate aftermath. COMMI SSION

European Food Safety Author ity (EFSA) is the cornerstone of the Union system of risk assessment for food and feed 
safet y. Its scientific advice on existing and emerging risks under pins the policies and decisions of risk manag ers in the 
Union institutions and Member States with the objective of protecting consumer health. The Author ity’s most critical 
commitment is to provid e objective, transparent and independent advice and clear communication grounded in the 
most up-to -date scientific methodologies, information and data available. The Author ity is committed to the core 
standards of scientific excellen ce, openness, transparency , independence and responsiveness. 
The establishment plan of the Author ity, as the outgoing Chair of the Networ k of Agencies, includes one post to creat e 
a position for the Head of the Shared Suppor t Office in Brussels. This is with the aim of promoting efficiency gains and 
synergies across agencies and with the institutions, so that individual agencies can focus their resources on core tasks. 
The financing of the post for the Head of the Shared Suppor t Office will be shared between the agencies, which means 
that no additional funding for the Author ity is required in this respect.

countr ies and intern ational organisations; to intensify cross-border joint operations among and within the Union law 
enforcement and other compet ent author ities in relation to serious and organised crime with a cross-border 
dimension; and to suppor t effort at strengthening the capabilities in relation to combatting and preventing crime 
including terrorism in particular through increased cooperation between public author ities, civil society and private 
partners across the Member States. 
The ISF should in particular suppor t police and judicial cooperation and prevention in the fields of serious and 
organised crime, illicit arms trafficking, corrupti on, mone y launder ing, drug trafficking, environmental crime, 
exchange of and access to information, terrorism, traff icking in human beings, exploitation of illegal immigration, 
child sexual exploitation, distr ibution of child abuse images and child pornograph y, and cybercr ime. The ISF should

the effective management of secur ity-relat ed risks and crises, including through the development of common policies 
(strat egies, policy cycles, programmes and action plans), legislation and practical cooperation.

Former article

Macro-financial assistance (MFA) is a form of financial aid extended by the Union to partner countr ies exper iencing a 
balance of payments crisis. MFA is designed for countr ies geographically , economically and politically close to the 
Union. These include candidate and poten tial candidate countr ies, countr ies covered by the European Neighbourhood 
Policy and, in certain circumstances, other third countr ies. In principle, MFA is only available to countr ies benefi ting 
from an Internatio nal Monetar y Fund programme. 
MFA is excep tional in nature and is mobilised on a case-b y-case basis to help countr ies dealing with serious balance-of- 
payments difficulties. Its objective is to restore a sustainable exte rnal financial situation, while encouraging economic 
adjustments and structural reforms. 
While MFA can take the form of medium/long-te rm loans or grants, or a combination of these, this article only covers 
the grant element of MFA operations. 
Appropr iations under this article will also be used to cover costs incur red in relation to MFA operations, and in 
particular: (i) costs incur red to conduct operational assessments in the benefi ciary countr ies to obtain reasonable 
assurances on the functioning of administrative procedures and financial circuits, (ii) costs related to the 
implementation of the ‘Better Regulation’ guidelines, in particular for ex-post evaluations of MFA operations, and (iii) 
costs to cover comitology requirements. 
The Commission will inform the European Parliament and the Council regularly of the macro-f inancial situation of the 
beneficiar y countr ies and will repor t extensively on the implementation of MFA on a yearly basis.

demonstrate solidar ity towards, and to provide suppor t to people losing their jobs as a result of major structural 
change s caused by globalisation-relate d challenge s.

change s in world trade patt erns, trade disputes , financial or economic crises, the transition to low-carbon econom y or 
as a consequence of digitisation or automation. Particular emphasis will lie on measures that help the most 
disadvantag ed groups. 
The maximum annual amount for the EGF is set in the MFF 2021-2027. The methods for entering the appropr iations 
in this reser ve and for mobilising the EGF are laid down in point 9 of the Interin stitutional Agreement of 16 December

This appropr iation is intende d to cover the cost of information and communication measures under taken by the 
Office. 
The Office’s exte rnal information and communication strategy is central to its work. The Office was set up as an 
independent investigative body and must theref ore have its own communications strategy . The Offi ce’s work is often 
too technical to be immediat ely compreh ensible to the general public. The Office has to inform its interlocut ors and 
the public as a whole of its role and tasks. Public perception of the Office’s work is of paramount impor tance. COMMISS ION

As a Commission service, the Offi ce also needs to take account of the democratic deficit existing between the Union 
institutions and the citizens of Europe. The Commission has recognised this deficit and drawn up an action plan to 
address it. 
The communications strateg y that the Offi ce has developed and continues to implement must demonstrate its 
independence.

It is time to reconsider the concept of freedom in the digital sphere. The current state of the digital econom y 
powerfull y demonstrates the parado xes of netw ork freedom: intern et giants benefit from an extraordinar ily free, 
immensely prof itable, dynamic mark et, yet their business models raise basic questions about precisely this freedom in 
the digital sphere. Even though some legislative actions to regulate digital compan ies are already under way – in this 
regar d, reference should be made to the Commission proposal regarding a digital tax – these measures only partly 
tack le the problems with digital monopolies. The regulatory framewor k, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the 
European Parliament and of the Council of 27 Apr il 2016 on the prote ction of natural persons with regar d to the COMMISS ION

Prot ection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1) and Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 17 Apr il 2019 on copyright and relat ed rights in the Digital Sing le Market and amending Directives 
96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC (OJ L 130, 17.5.2019, p. 92), shows that the Union is a leader in prot ecting the data of 
users and secur ing cultural diversity by allowing fair remuneration of artists. 
However , there is no European competition oversight of the mainly US-locat ed digital monopolies that far too often 
use their mark et power to influence public opinion or legislator s. Further more, they are based on a dubious business 
model at best, as the scandal involving Cambr idge Analytica and Facebook scandal shows. 
The Commission came up with similar considerations in its communication entitled ‘Tackli ng online disinf ormation: a 
European approach’ , issued in Apr il 2018, stating the need for a more transparent, trustwor thy and accountable online 
ecosyste m. On the issue of fake news, it pointed out that ‘...mec hanisms which enable the creation, ampli fication and 
dissemination of disinf ormation rely upon a lack of transparency and traceability in the existing platf orm ecosystem 
and on the impact of algor ithms and online adver tising models’, and that theref ore ‘it is necessar y to promote 
adequat e chang es in platf orms’ conduct, a more accountable information ecosystem, enhanced fact-chec king 
capabilities and collective knowledg e on disinf ormation, and the use of new technologies to impro ve the way 
information is produced and disseminated online’. 
Further on, the communication state s the need to improve transparency as to the origin and production of 
information, encourage diversity of information, and chec ks on its credibility . In further remarks, it seeks ‘to fashion 
inclusive solutions. Effectiv e long-t erm solutions require aware ness-raising, more media literacy , broad stakeho lder 
involvement and the cooperation of public author ities, online platf orms, adver tisers, trusted flagger s, jour nalists and 
media groups.’ 
In the same spirit, this pilot project will create a new European digital platf orm in accordance with a strong Union 
regulatory framework. The platf orm will work on a business model that is fundamentally different to the data trading 
model Facebook and Goog le use. The European altern ative will aim to provid e quality content without restr icting 
freedom of linking. Instead, there must be a licensing regime that under pins high-quality jour nalism. A common 
European platf orm, theref ore, could mean a joint action at European level against fake news and hate speech . The 
need to provide an alternative is not only highlighted by the recent scandals, but also by the fact that there are 
initiatives within the Union to launch altern ative platf orms, such as Verimi. 
Additionally , the pilot project covers a broad range of objectives and policies, taking stoc k of the work done by the 
Commission in the field. It is also part of its drive to creat e a digital sing le market. The Commission aims to mak e the 
Union’s rules more future-or iented and aligned with the rapid advance of technological development. COMMI SSION

The pilot project is an additional tool to promot e the digitisation of information published by listed companies in 
Europe, including the use of innovati ve technologies to interconnect national databases. Further more, the pilot 
project could link the existing platf orm of Europeana, whic h is already a Commission-r un digital platf orm for cultural 
heritage. Through Europeana, citizens and the cultural and creative industr ies can access European culture for the 
widest possible variety of purposes. This new European platf orm could be merged with Europeana in the future. 
Public broadcasters such as ARTE, newspaper publishers and cultural institutions such as universities, theatres, 
museums and man y others should participate. 
The pilot project is divided into two phases: 
Phase 1: Gaining an overview 
The first phase will involve taking stoc k of initiatives connecte d to online platf orms within the Union at a local, 
regional and (inte r)national level, whether private or public. Stak eholders and exper ts need to be consult ed and a 
study could be launche d in order to gain an over view of initiatives on all levels. Finally , these initiatives will be 
analysed to assess to what extent and in whic h specifi c areas they are suitable to help build a European platf orm. 
Further more, an altern ative business model to data trading needs to be found. 
Phase 2: Constr ucting the platf orm 
In the second phase, existing platf orms have to be adjusted and linked together with the stake holders in order to 
provide a European platf orm cover ing all kinds of content, including jour nalism, videos and pictures. It would fit in 
with the Commission’s plan to set up a platf orm on disinf ormation.

This project will analyse the threat of GNSS jamming and cyber -attacks to aviation and identify mitig ation measures. 
This is a two- year project to be led by the European Union Aviation Safety Agen cy in coordination with European 
partners to ensure the safety of civil aviatio n by imple menting integrat ed secur ity measures and jamming-proof 
mec hanisms. The project will identify good practices for regulators and operat ors, and provi de policy guidance in 
connection with secur ity for the GNSS system and possible future initiatives in the area of aviation secur ity. 
The project will also address the issue of GNSS/PNT equipment (most notably receivers) by proposing installation and 
operation strateg ies that can be implement ed for current equipment as well as strategies that can result in more 
resilient new and/or improved products. 
Moreo ver, the project will assess whether the proposed strategies are applicable to non-a viation domains.

Sudden cardiac arrests account for 20 % of deaths in the Union. This figure could be signif icantly lower if early chest 
compr ession and early defibrillation were performe d on all victims. Indeed, research shows that a first defibrillation 
less than three minutes after cardiac arrest results in a survival rate of 74 %. Yet less than 5 % of cardiac arrest victims 
are treated with early chest compression and defibr illation. COMMISS ION

Nowada ys, more and more information campaigns are being carried out to encourag e people to learn how to perform 
cardio-pulmonar y resuscitation (CPR) and to encourag e individuals, private organisations and public author ities to 
acquire autom ated extern al defibrillators (AEDs). However , the location of these devices is in man y cases unknown to 
others, including the emergency services. This results in a situation where hear t attack victims cannot be resuscitated 
in time. Hence, it is essential to develop and promote measures to map publicly accessible AEDs. 
At the same time, the added value of the European global navig ation satellite systems EGNOS and Galileo as rega rds 
location-based services has already been demonstrated . Those system s should also be used to save lives by locating 
AEDs. 
A registr y of all accessible AEDs should be made available to emerge ncy call-tak ers, who could advise persons calling 
emerg ency services as to where the nearest defibrillator is locat ed. Where possible, the registr y should also be made 
directly available to members of the public. 
It should however be taken into consideration that: 
— some defibr illators are not accessible on a round-the-clock basis, since they might be locat ed in places that are 
closed at specific times (offices, shops, school s, etc.); 
— in some instances, such as in large buildings, the address of the defibrillator might not be suffi cient to find it 
quic kly. Location information should theref ore also include important details such as the floor level; 
— information that defibr illator s are in proper working order is also very impor tant. For instance, moder n 
defibr illator s are now able to communicate batter y power status. 
Information provid ed in the registr y should be made available in two ways: 
— by fitting AEDs with Galileo chipsets so that their exact position can be accurately tracked, and 
— by manually adding details for AEDs that are not equipped with chipsets. 
The project will demonstrate the added value of Galileo in saving lives. Due to its perf ormance in term s of accuracy 
and signal availability , Galileo will help reduce inter vention time for victims of hear t attacks, bear ing in mind that 
ever y minut e lost before chest compre ssion or defibr illation lowe rs survival rate by 10 %. 
The central objective of the pilot project is theref ore to: 
— analyse the best possible way of developing, organising and managing a registr y of publicly accessible AEDs, taking 
advantage of the location information provided by Galileo; 
— find an altern ative solution to a registr y, based on Galileo. COMMI SSION

Sustainable wate r manag ement is essential for Europe, given the global trend of ever -higher water consump tion. Water 
scarcity and the role of wate r in a broader cont ext of preser vation of natural habitats must be tack led through methods 
for water reuse, reduction of waste and measures to conser ve natural wate r habitats. The capacity of European regions 
to tackle the issue of water scarcity beyond resource efficiency is an impor tant issue to address. It will in particular be 
important to enable multi-stakeholder govern ance of these scarce resources and to increase awareness of the fact that 
wate r is a valuable resource. 
Opening up the traditional wate r sector to new technologies, in particular digital technologies, will help introduce 
efficiency and productivity in water manage ment, but will also help raise awareness of the problems and position of 
sustainable water manage ment in a broader context of sustainability and preser vation. For examp le, data from sensors 
and robotics can help cope with water waste , virtual reality can introduce scenar ios for future use of water resources, 
augment ed reality can help evaluate different policies and help citizens better understand and react to water problems. 
An important aspect of the management of natural resources is community involvement (e.g. community-based 
measurements of pollution levels or wate r shor tage) , where digital technologies can play an impor tant role. 
Action must be taken to speak to the hear t of innovat ors and to stimulate their minds to come up with creative 
solutions. The conte ntion is that in this conte xt new oppor tunities arise for joint efforts between digital technologies 
and artistic practices. Performance artworks and virtual or augment ed reality can jointly address the need to raise 
awar eness. Artists can come up with novel uses of digital technologies, such as artificial intellig ence, to help address 
wate r sustainability in new and unforeseen ways. Links between digital technologies and traditional crafts (such as, for 
exam ple, boat building) can give rise to new forms of alliances for conser ving water habitats by, for instance, linking 
cultural and ecological aspects for tourism. 
The project will explore links between art and digital technologies for water management in given regional contexts 
and will mobilise the technological and cultural resources of European regions to help tackle the imminent challenge 
of wate r managemen t. COMMISS ION

This pilot project suppor ts actions in the area of independent and inclusive access to online content and services for 
people with cognitive disabilities. Building on the work of the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative, under this project 
two specifi c actions will be take n. First, it will seek to creat e an overview of existing research/studies and identify gaps 
in web accessibility requirements for cognitive disabilities. The over view will then serve as guidance on practical 
measures to further accessibility . Second, it will seek to propose and promote tools drawing on artificial intelli gence, 
mach ine learning or similar solutions to automa te the transf ormation and/or adapta tion of web content and services 
in a way that enables persons with cognitive disabilities to understand and use such conte nt and services (cont ent 
absor ption). Equally , it will seek to propose the simplification or adapta tion of web-author ing tools that persons with 
cognitive disabilities could use to creat e online content (content creation). The project may be implement ed on the 
basis of a tender for the first action and a public grant for the second action(s); it may be implemented in a way that

Despit e the existing legislation, air pollution remains one of the major environmental problems in Europe. 
Transpor tation is one of the main contr ibutors of air quality issues within cities. Transpor t-relat ed emissions cover 
nitroge n oxide (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by combustion engine vehicles as well as fine dust (par ticulat e 
matt er PM2.5 and PM10). Particulat e matt er emissions will especially continue to be a challeng e not only in the COMMI SSION

existing fleet with a majority of combustion engine vehicles. This challenge is likely to continue even after full 
electr ification of the fleet since electr ification itself will avoid NOx and CO2 emissions, but will only have little impact 
on fine dust emissions (PM2.5 and PM10). This is due to the fact that only tailpipe emissions are avoided, but the main 
emitte rs of fine dust are considered to be brakes, tyres and road wear . 
In recent years, great efforts have been made by tyre manufacturers (wear -opt imised tyres) and brake manufacturers 
(optimised mat erials and coatings) to reduce emissions directly at the source. Howe ver, the emission reductions 
achi eved are not sufficient. Also the actual fleet renewal would be too slow to have immediate impact on air quality in 
pollut ed cities. Theref ore it has to be expected that, in the coming years, air quality issues will remain within European 
cities. 
This indicates that other solutions are needed to reduce particulate emissions and improve air quality , beyond working 
towards the replacement of all conven tional vehicles by electr ic vehicles or the incremental improvement of car 
engines and limitation of exhaust emissions. 
In current legislation only exhaust emissions are regulate d via European standards. Especially the regulations on 
emission limit standards Euro 5 and 6 for light passeng er and commercial vehicles as well as EUR O VI for heavy -duty 
vehicles have introduced stricter emission limits for exhaust emissions. Currently there are no regulations in force for 
non-exhaust emissions, but most recently several working groups are developing regulations for tyre and brake 
emissions, which are expected to be included in the Euro 7 standard. 
Latter ly it has been shown that also new upcoming filtration technologies have the ability to compensat e part of the 
vehicles emissions. This pilot project addresses the poten tial of these new approaches. The concrete filtration 
technologies to be investig ated within this pilot project are: 
(a) Brak e dust particle filter which consists of a housing and a non-w oven media. It is mounted behind the brake 
caliper . Due to this mounting location the filter is able to conf ine particles in a non-w oven filter media directly after 
they are emitted at the contact area of the brake pad and the brak e disc. 
(b) Fine dust particle filter whic h is installed on the top of or under neath a vehicle. An installed fan actively conve ys 
pollut ed ambient air through a filter media where the fine dust can be separated . In this way the filter is able to 
separate self-gener ated emissions as well as the emissions of ambient air and surrounding vehicles. 
Both systems could in general be applied to all kinds of vehicles, including light, commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. 
To maximise the impact on the overall air quality the entire public transpor t bus fleet, taxi fleets or deliver y vehicles 
could for example be equipped with these solutions, cleaning the air while driving or charging. In this way, those 
equipped vehicles would be leav ing the air cleaner than before. COMMISS ION

Within the pilot project, the focus is on particulat e matt er reduction by application of filtration solutions, confining 
emissions from brake (close to its source) and filtration of ambient polluted air through fine dust filters. Amongst the 
expect ed deliverables, this pilot project should provid e quantifi able evidence on how such systems have to be tested to 
assess their performa nce, whic h impact on air quality such filtration technologies can have and how these solutions 
can supplement the measures in air pollution control plans to provid e clean air to residents. 
Theref ore the concrete and specific objectives to be achi eved during the pilot project are: 
(1) Identif ication and assessment of the possible impa ct of retrofi t filtration solutions for light, commercial and heavy- 
duty road vehicles 
A holistic technology review for filtration retrofi t solutions for light, commercial and heavy -duty road vehicles should 
be provid ed, to give an overview on available solutions on the mark et, including their respective poten tial impacts 
identified in publications and studies. 
(2) Definition of a measurement procedure for the performance evaluation of active fine dust filters and brak e dust 
particle filters 
The performa nce of the descr ibed filtration systems do not only depend on their technical specific ations but also on 
the environment in which they are operat ed. This includes envi ronmental conditions like ambient temperature and 
humidity but also the current dust concentration since the separated particle mass of a filter is higher at higher 
concentrations. Currently there is no generally defined measur ing procedure available to assess the performa nce of 
such systems and to be used for future regulations. Theref ore it is the aim of this pilot project to build the 
exper imental foundation for defining a measur ing procedure. This should be done via the followi ng steps: 
(a) Laborat ory tests evaluating the emission footpr int reduction by brak e dust particle filtration 
The emission reduction poten tial by filtration of brake dust should be evaluated. Due to the complex conditions in the 
vicinity of the brak e and the wheelhouse, laborat ory tests on an iner tia dynamometer test bench should be done as a 
first step, followi ng the approach of the Particle Measurement Programme working group. The laboratory tests should 
be performed for at least three vehicles, covering light and commercial vehicle brakes. 
(b) Additional field tests evaluating the emission footpr int reduction by brake dust filtration 
The compl ex conditions in the wheelhouse near the brak e cannot be properly covered by laboratory tests. Theref ore 
additional field test should be performe d for at least three vehicles, cover ing light and commercial vehicle brak es. 
Based on gravimetr ic measurement, the particulate matt er reduction under real-dr iving conditions should be shown 
and compared to the laborat ory results.

The volume flow rate through the active air filter system is to be determi ned for several driving velocities on the lab 
scale. The laboratory setup allows reproducible testing independent of environmental conditions. Theref ore wind 
tunnel exper iments should be performe d. Based on the determined volume flow rates, the emission reduction can be 
calculat ed based on the kno wledge of typical ambient duct concentrations. The wind tunnel tests should be performed 
for at least three vehicles, covering light, commercial and heavy -duty vehicles. 
(d) Additional field tests evaluating the emission footpr int reduction by active ambient air filtration systems 
The reduction poten tial of the identif ied solutions should be tested in addition in a field test under real-dr iving 
conditions. At least two retrofi t solutions should be tested and the PM10 and PM2.5 reduction quantifi ed under 
various ambient conditions (tem perature, humidity , particulate matte r concentration, traff ic intensity). The field test 
should be performe d for at least 20 vehicles, covering light, commercial and heavy-duty vehicles, in at least three 
European cities. The field test results should give indication for further legislation about the influence of 
environmental condition on the overall particulate matter footpr int of vehicles. 
(3) Feasibility study and demonstrat or vehicle for integrated fine dust particle filtration system s 
A feasibility study to investig ate the possibilities to integrate the previously descr ibed retrofit solutions within future 
vehicles should be performe d. Especially it should be outlined up to whic h extent filtration system s can be integrat ed 
into the future fleet. A holistic technical review has to be carried out to estimate the overall impact on the vehicle 
emission footpr int. 
Further more a prototype vehicle (demonstrato r car) should be built to show the integrat ed concepts and for use in 
further field tests. 
(4) Estimate of possible impact on air quality in cities 
Within the previously defined field and laborat ory tests, the perf ormance of the filtration systems can only be assessed 
for a small number of vehicles. To transfer and to extrapolat e these results to a possible coverag e of the fleet, several 
scenar ios should be inve stigat ed via simulations, e.g. assuming that a certain percentage of 
buses in public transpor t 
inner -city deliver y vehicles 
private cars in the future fleet 
will be equipped with these filtration system s. This will give a clear indication for the legislation which emission 
reduction targets can be achieved. COMMISS ION

primar y energy consum ption and PM10 emissions during production. Further more it should be assessed how the 
filtration systems influence fuel consum ption and thus greenhouse gas emissions. 
(6) Assessment of shor tcomings in the current measurement procedure and regulation as well as creating the basis for 
future legislation for non-exhaust emissions with a specifi c focus on retrofit solutions 
Based on the find ings a suggest ion for future legislation should be given. In contrast to past regulations for exhaust 
emission, the case of integrated or retrofitted filtration systems poses the challeng e that a vehicle needs to be 
considered in a certain environment and cannot be characteri sed as an independent object. This aspect is not taken 
into account in current regulations. 
In this way, the pilot project will not only be a key enabler for realising sustainable transpor t within the existing fleet, 
but it will also drive the development of solutions for clean electro mobility . 
Further more it can boost innovati on in the European automoti ve industr y and catalyse the development of other 
retrofit solutions and products outside of the scope of this project (cabin air filter , helmet filter , etc.). At the same time, 
the results can signif icantly improve health y living and promote wellbeing of city inhabitants.

Remark s 
This pilot project aims to overcome financial, lega l and technical barriers to citizen-led renov ation projects. A specifi c 
Union suppor t service should be creat ed for Citizens Energy Communities (CEC) and Renewable Energy Communities 
(REC) whic h are new actors enshr ined in the Union legislation able to catalyse citizens’ engag ement in various aspects 
of the ecological transition, including renovation projects. The creation of such a service could build upon the 
exper ience of cooperatives that are successfully bundling projects at a neighbourhood scale. The suppor t service 
would aim to strengthen community building and to scale up and replicate successful programmes. It should include: 
1. A platf orm for shar ing exper ience and models, in order to build strong community dynamics to mobilise European 
citizens around integrat ed building renovation and renewable deplo yment by means of CEC and REC. COMMI SSION

to creat e collaborations that can lead to a rethinking of the innovation cycle rooted in cultural priorities and to 
emerging business oppor tunities with Europe. 
The activities should be limite d to a number of select ed regions where it is expect ed that innovati on roote d in culture 
and the arts will resonate with local thinking. Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East are chosen as regions where 
European presence could be reinf orced by a culture-dr iven approach to innovati on. Silicon Valley is a region where 
such considerations could be based on increasing sensitivity of dominant players in the digital sector . COMMISS ION

The pilot project takes a Union-wide view of open source with a view of establishing common solutions to the 
challenge s faced by public services in the Union and enhance the continued adaptation of open source by the 
following: 
Solutions Catalogue 
Creation of an online catalogue of open-source software used in Member States and Union institutions to allow for the 
identification of similar systems that are easily modifiable thus reducing re-development and propr ietar y syste ms due 
to lack of awareness of alternati ves. It will also examine in whic h way local software can be made fit for Europe-wide 
use and suggest a European perspective for future open source solution developments.

Remark s 
The pilot project should compl ement the current actions that suppor t SMEs during the COVID-19 crisis, but can also 
suppor t entrepreneurs facing the challeng es posed by becoming more digital and sustainable. Such a project can equip 
entrepreneurs with the right mindset, resilience and skills they need to adap t to a changing and difficult context. In the 
current context, entrepreneurs need to find solutions to pressing problems such as funding, management , scaling or 
becoming green. In order to face the challeng es posed by the COVID-19 crisis, as well as by digitalisation and 
becoming sustainable, entrepreneurs need flexible and interactive training modules on areas such as financial literacy , 
pitching to inve stors or expanding one’s business, as well as coaching and mentoring from either peers or exper ienced COMMI SSION

This pilot project addresses the lack of attention given by the Union to behaviour in connection with autonomous 
driving. Much researc h has been conduct ed in recent years into auton omous driving, both by car manufacturers and 
by the research community . It has mainly focused on the technological aspects of autonomous driving, i.e. 
interoperability of vehicles, interaction with road infrastr ucture, data secur ity, data reliability , data prot ection and 
liability , etc. 
The pilot project provides a new area for studies and researc h that puts the emphasis on driver beha viour , whic h has 
been somewhat neglecte d both by policy mak ers and by the industr y. It provi des the Commission and the legislative 
author ity with a compl ementar y view of the inter action of human beha viour with auton omous driving with a view to 
addressing poten tial problems arising from the large-scale introduction of auton omous driving in the Union in order 
to make it a success and improve road safet y. COMMI SSION

The Union is committed to halving the number of fatal road accidents by 2020. Cross-European enforcement 
operations suppor ted by information and awar eness campa igns could help to achieve this goal. Theref ore a 
coordinat ed pan-European enforcement event should take place across the TEN- T network and Member State s should 
sign up to it. 
The Commission theref ore funded a one-month coordinated operation across the TEN- T netw ork. European police 
operations in Member State s should be coordinated. As more than half of all fatal accidents occur on rural roads, the 
event could take place in rural areas and be suppor ted by target ed campai gns to raise awar eness. It should be focused

Recent studies show that in major European mark ets for used cars one-third of all vehicles have had their odomet ers 
manipulat ed. The averag e value of the fraud is roughly EUR 3 000, with central budget revenue losses estimate d at 
between EUR 5 600 000 000 and EUR 9 600 000 000 a year. New vehicles are mainly check ed and serviced at official 
dealerships as a condition of warranty . Dealerships keep records of odomet er readings, but this information is not 
publicly accessible. New vehicles do not undergo roadw orthiness testing until they are four years old. Dur ing the 
subsequent annual inspections, odometer readings are transmitted to databases in the Member State s but are not 
exchanged. When a vehicle change s hands or is sold abroad, there is a break in the odomet er track record, presenting 
the oppor tunity for tampe ring with odomet er readings. It is becoming increasing ly easy to do this with a minimum of 
investment in software, kno wledge and time. 
The target group includes consumers, tax and revenue author ities and car retailers. 
The pilot project is suppor ted by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile and the European Consumer

The pilot project sets up a platf orm of best practices and technical advice, based on the exper ience and needs of the 
new actors in the energy mark et, thus helping the Commission to stimulate the development of technical standards 
for distr ibut ed ledgers . 
To do this, the follo wing activities are carried out during the project : 
— analysis of the existing distr ibut ed ledger based on bloc kchai n technology , the aim being to understand the 
problems and the solutions found during setup and use of a distr ibuted ledger in real cases, 
— analysis of the needs of all energy mark et stakeho lders (institutionalised energy suppliers, prosumer organisations, 
energy community orga nisations, etc.); a survey in 2016 by the German Energy Agen cy (Dena) found that 52 % of 
German energy actor s were already implementing or planning blockc hain activities; the analysis will focus on 
those activities so as to understand the needs of the actors concer ned; a focus group involving prosumer 
associations will also be set up, 
— organising information events on distr ibut ed ledgers based on bloc kchain technology , 
— setting up a netw ork for stakeholders involved in the new energy market ; it will be a tool for disseminating and

The tachog raph, which has been mandatory since 1985, is the cornerstone of road transpor t legislation, in particular 
for monitori ng vehicle speed, distance travelled and driver work and rest times. Over the years, as the technology has 
progressed, successive generations of tachograph have incor porated new features whic h have gradually made the 
controls and fraud prevention more effective. The latest ‘smar t tachog raph’ is expecte d to provi de real-time 
information by connecting satellite navigat ion systems and enforcement author ities. 
According to a study commissioned by the European Parliament in 2018, retrofi tting smar t tachog raphs in all heavy - 
duty vehicles by 2020 was estimate d to cost between EUR 6 400 000 000 and EUR 15 900 000 000 just for the 
purc hase of the device and the labour associated with the retrofi t. 
Given the widespread use of smar tphones and the continuous expansion of their functions, as well as the deplo yment 
of Galileo and the oppor tunities it offers in term s of real-time localisation, whic h many mobiles already use, the pilot 
project explores the possibility of developing and certifying a mobile application offer ing the same benefits as the 
smar t tachograph, and the associated costs. 
The feasibility study will be structured as follows : 
(1) identifying, in accordance with the revised Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the 
Council of 4 Febr uary 2014 on tachographs in road transpor t, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on 
recording equipment in road transpor t and amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and 
of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transpor t (OJ L 60, 28.2.2014, p. 1), 
whic h data the application should collect so as to function as a smar t tachog raph; 
(2) assessing the technical feasibility of an application to collect this data, possibly using Galileo or by means of a direct 
connection with the vehicle, and the technical requirements for real-time transmission of the data to the author ities; 
(3) assessing the risk of fraud and the poten tial cybersecur ity threat connected with the application; 
(4) assessing the hardware and software secur ity measures to be implement ed in the smar tphone in order to mitig ate 
the risks identif ied in point 3; 
(5) provid ing an estimate of the cost of developing and certifying such an application. COMMI SSION

This pilot project sets up a study to analyse the present and future potential demand for renewable energy in industr ial 
sectors and processes, and mak e a comparative analysis of their ambitions, efficiency in reducing CO 2 emissions, 
technology needs and inve stment needs so as to identify priorities in the direct and indirect electr ification of industr ial 
processes, whic h is essential for decarbonising Union industr ies. 
The compari son examines the followi ng issues: 
(1) CO 2 emissions saved in industr ial processes through direct or indirect electr ification; 
(2) the value created through direct or indirect electr ification (i.e. the added value of using decarbonised electr icity or 
hydrogen in a specific sector or process compar ed to other means of decarbonisation); 
(3) the impact of (direct or indirect) electr ification on the energy syste m, in particular in term s of demand flexibility to 
contr ibute to the grid supply/demand balance, sector coupling and electr icity stora ge (i.e. apar t from the impact on 
electr icity demand, whether the electr ification of a sector or industr ial process can contr ibut e to making the energy 
syste m more flexible, stable and secure, for example via demand response or long-ter m storag e or by reducing or 
reusing waste heat). 
The pilot project focuses on as man y industr ial sectors as possible, in particular on the key industr ial CO 2 emitter s, as 
well as on interm ediate products that mak e it possible to creat e a more sustainable supply chain, and on industr ial 
processes with high added value. The project will develop a methodology for prioritising sector s and industr ies. 
The pilot project includes a number of case studies of industr ial partners in order to test the analysis in practical 
business cases. COMMISS ION

This pilot project aims to reduce household energy consum ption and guarant ee universal access to energy . Energy 
poverty is a Europe-wide problem that requires a holistic approach under pinned by a joint, strong effort at all levels: 
local, regional, national and European. Towns, cities and regions are often best placed to identify at an early stage 
those households at risk of energy poverty and thus tackle it in the most effective way. 
By the end of this pilot project, outcomes will include: 
— provid ing vulnerable homes with technical suppor t to reduce energy consum ption and costs, together with 
suppor t to improve their energy performa nce, 
— action across a number of govern ment depar tments involving public health, social services, housing and 
environmental services, in order to take coordinat ed action to tack le the various aspects of energy poverty, which 
causes public health problems and social vulnerability and is often is linked to buildings with poor energy 
performa nce; reducing energy consump tion also has a positive effect in term s of combating climat e change, 
— actions to link energy savings in local public facilities with the creation of a fund to fight energy poverty in all 
municipalities, 
— actions to empo wer consumers in their energy consump tion patt erns, 
— assessments of how energy poverty projects can improve the local economy by creating oppor tunities for energy 
inve stments in private houses, and help creat e jobs, 
— dissemination actions including Europe-wide exchange of good practices. 
Objectiv es 
The pilot project focuses both on measures to raise awar eness and exchange good local and regional practices for 
tack ling energy poverty and on concrete measures to reduce energy pover ty in Europe. COMMI SSION

in the Union are currently suffer ing from fuel poverty and cannot afford proper indoor ther mal comf ort. In addition, 
investments in energy efficiency can help to prevent fuel poverty and, as stated in Directive 2012/27/EU on energy

On 25 Sept ember 2015, the United Nations adopt ed a set of goals to end poverty, prot ect the planet and ensure 
prosper ity for all as part of a new Sustainable Development Agen da. Each Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) has 
specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years. SDG 1 ‘End pover ty’ and SDG 7 ‘Ensure access to affordable, 
reliable, sustainable and moder n energy for all’ relate to this project. In parallel there is an ongoing initiative – Urban 
Age nda for the EU – to tack le various key aspects of the Union’s future policy in this area. The relat ed process involves 
two specif ic partnerships: energy transition and urban poverty. 
To sum up: energy is central to nearly ever y major challenge and oppor tunity for Europe toda y; whether for jobs,

Digitalisation is a major current and future challeng e in Europe. However , it also represents an oppor tunity for the 
creation of new job types. These require in many cases programming skills which should be further promoted among 
young people, since they are often not part of school curricula. The Union should encourage young people to take an

While digital services have been increasing ly developed and deplo yed by public administrations, their accessing and 
using them are still uneven both across and within countr ies in Europe. One reason for that is the limited scope of 
one-st op-shop platf orms that are suffi ciently user -friendly for citizens and business. 
Distr ibuted ledger technologies (DLTs) can provi de a response to this challeng e by suppor ting the integra tion of

DLTs can do that without the need for a central validation function and in a secure mode, whic h shor tens processing 
time, encourages process automation and reduces the scope for errors and fraud. In addition, information can be 
securely processed in compliance with the principles set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament 
and of the Council of 27 Apr il 2016 on the prot ection of natural persons with regar d to the processing of personal

While DLTs are being increasing ly adopt ed in diffe rent domains, take-up of them in public administration is lagging 
behind because of the relative immatur ity of the technology solutions and a lack of exper imentation specifi cally

The implementation of NRIS has hither to largely relied on grant funding from European structural and investment 
funds (ESIF). The use of ESIF funds has unfortunately been limited by the lack of political commitment and capacity of 
national and regional author ities in charge of managing the funds. Scarce use has been made of financial instr uments 
to date, such as loans and guarant ees, to promote the socio-economic inclusion of marginalised Roma communities. 
This pilot project is part of the Union’s efforts to: 
— suppor t social innovation and new , holistic approaches to social service provision, the empo werment of 
disadvantage d groups and deliver ing transf ormative solutions for key social challeng es, in particular Roma 
inclusion; 
— stimulate cross-sect oral collaborations and social impact partnerships (public-pr ivate and civic engag ement) as a 
new avenue for public value creation; 
— pioneer the use of new financial instr uments and blended suppor t (financial instr uments, grant and capacity 
building) for projects with high social externalit ies; 
— in the long er term, suppor t the development of the social investment market and social impact interventions 
through testing/ref inement of a model which could be scaled up across Europe under , for example , the future 
sing le Union investment programme (InvestEU). 
The InvestEU programme could be a game change r, with financial allocation to suppor t social infrastr ucture (namely 
housing, health and education facilities), social innovati on and social impact schemes. The next integrat ed investment 
programme of the EU could offer a signif icant oppor tunity to make progress in achieving the inclusion of Roma. 
Scope of the pilot project : 
— This project develops a housing model solution and impro ved life oppor tunities for a selecte d group of 
marginalised Roma communities. The target beneficiar ies will typically reside in unregulat ed/illega l outskir t

Activities will theref ore include: 
— the provis ion of financial education, job assistance and life skills training for selected participants from a 
disadvantage d back ground who are enrolled in the programme; 
— suppor t for savings schemes for each family , for about one year, to enable loan payments to be made for 
constr uction mater ials for new homes; 
— engag ement with public author ities for the allocation of land for the inter vention, and providing training to public 
author ities so that they can implement and manage inclusion or desegreg ation programmes and further provide 
social services to the local community . COMMI SSION

This multiphase model will trial innovati ve approach es combining financia l instr uments (loans, guarant ees, etc.), 
grants and capacity building assistance. 
The pilot may be carried out in partnership with an implementing orga nisation. Under a sing le grant contract with the 
Commission, the selecte d implementing partner would channel the suppor t via: 
— a guarant ee for de-r isking portfolios of social housing loans to target ed benefi ciaries, accounting for some 25 % of 
the budget; and 
— capacity building grants for NGOs provid ing coaching or mentoring services to municipalities, enabling the 
purchas e of apar tments or houses, constr uctions (provisi on of land and necessar y infrastr ucture) and local Roma 
communities for financial literacy and constr uction training, emplo yment and civic education, accounting for 
some 75 % of the budge t. 
Activities will be closely aligned with and compl ement current pilot projects for Roma inclusion (ROMA CT), cohesion 
policy funding tools whic h could be mobilised as a result, as well as relevant desegregation guidance and holistic 
approac hes to local development principles. 
The pilot project will test and develop integrat ed social finance models as part of a multicountr y, pan-European 
approac h, possibly as a pilot for a combined financial and advisor y product under the InvestEU Programme post- 
2020. This should complement cohesion funding suppor t and reinf orce the objectives of social inclusion, 
desegreg ation, access to education, emplo yment suppor t and regional development. It could also provi de models for 
replication under social outcome contracting mechanisms. 
After being tested at multiple sites with substantial Roma communities, it will expand to differ ent locations within the 
countr ies with substantial Roma communities (e.g. East Slovakia, East Czec hia, Bulgar ia, Romania and Hung ary) and 
be replicated in an urban cont ext. 
Activities will be closely aligned with and compl ement current pilot projects for Roma inclusion (ROMA CT) and 
additional Cohesion policy funding tools which could be mobilised. The pilot project will also contr ibut e to policy 
development in the area of homelessness and housing exclusion and suppor t preparation of the post-2020 EU 
framew ork for NRIS. 
Target groups: 
— marginalised Roma families, as one of the most excluded groups in Europe, whose fate embodies one of the most 
acute social challenges in central and easter n European countr ies and, indeed, the Union; 
— public author ities, financial interm ediar ies and social impa ct actors (foundations, service provid ers). COMMISS ION

This project will provide easily accessible information on environmental performa nce in aviation, ideally from a 
neutral and independent source, to the travelling public and people living near airports. 
In the same way that European citizens are informed about organic products, passengers will be informed about the 
green record of aircraf t and airlines. The project will look into the green record of individual aircraf t (noise and 
emissions) and carriers (greenhouse gas emissions, particulat e matter emissions, offsetting, sustainable ( ‘bio’) fuels 
and aircraf t noise) as well as operational measures. 
The main activities focus on developing governance, metr ics, communication design and the eco-por tal, which is an 
existing IT platf orm that will be expanded to include emissions, fleet and operational data to suppor t the label scheme. 
The scheme will also allow airports to rank airlines by environmental performance so as to provi de local incentives.

One approach taken by port author ities that has recently been gaining momentum has been to determine a set of 
development activities and inve stments whic h would both creat e the appropr iate technical and organisational set-up 
for future port operations and take into account various social and environmental requirements to maintain or 
improve the level of quality delivered in those two areas. The project will present the research that has been conducted 
into the level of aware ness and behaviour of European ports in the field of sustainable development, and as regar ds the 
Green Port Concept (GPC) in particular . A hypothesis has been formulate d that incor poration of the GPC into the 
development strateg y for European sea ports will improve their environmental relationship and make them more 
compe titive. The survey results will make it possible to identify the approac h to be take n for the development of green 
ports and under take research into assembling a packag e of instr uments that will suppor t those activities. It will 
theref ore be possible to targe t the development strateg ies of European sea ports in line with the GPC. 
Outcome and possible evolution of the project 
Due to the wide range of poten tial uses of the research results, the authors have plans for a series of activities to 
publicise them, including a repor t on the quantitative survey, a series of scientific articles and a monograph. 
Inno vative and exper imental nature of the project 
The authors of the project will conduct a survey - the first of its kind in Europe - of the percep tion of Union port 
author ities ’ activities in the area of sustainable development of the GPC. The inter dependence of actions under take n 
and economic performa nce of sea port will then be studied. The new kno wledge gain ed under the project will 
establish a new , complex and interdisciplinar y approach to the organisation and operation of a sea port for business 
implementation. Moreo ver, any port will be able to be assessed as to the extent to which it is already imple menting 
the green port concep t and, subsequently , as to what type of actions should be taken to take the right approac h and 
proceed with greening of the port. This should be the basis for further development of Green Port assessments, with 
appropr iate measurements and values according to the GPC goals. 
The mar itime sector is witnessing height ened activity focusing on the sustainable development of sea ports. This 
activity covers the two main areas of their extern al operations, i.e. reducing the negative environmental impact of port 
investment and operational activity , and the relationship of ports with their surroundings. The social responsibility of 
sea ports is a factor which can make a differ ence, especially in the latter area. At the same time, port management COMMI SSION

common rules for the intern al market for electr icity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU (OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 
125) are among the most inno vative in the Clean Energy for all Europeans Package. They oblige Member State s to 
adop t enabling framewor ks for energy communities. Directive (EU) 2019/944 provides for a level playing field for 
‘citizen energy communities ’ on electr icity mark ets, while Directive (EU) 2018/2001 requires adoption of a level 
playing field and incentives for ‘renewable energy communities’ active in all areas of renewable energy . While energy 
communities already exist in some Member States, they are a novelty in others. 
The energy communities repository should fulfil two basic functions: (i) monitori ng and collecting data on 
development of energy communities in the Union and (ii) provid ing communities with models for technological and 
administrative solutions. 
The data collect ed through the repository would constitute a very important source of information for the European 
institutions and national and local govern ments. The data would feed in to existing and future policy streams. In other 
words, it would facilitate the implementation or, if need be, revision or impro vement of the regulatory framewor k. 
In addition, the repository could be a great source of know-ho w for citizens and citizen associations that wish to set up 
their energy communities, in particular in Member State s that have not developed regulatory framew orks or best 
practices so far. Best practices may include technological solutions, e.g. for electr icity shar ing, the use of bloc kchai n 
and distr ibut ed ledgers for transacting and provid ing information on the origin of electr icity from sources belonging 
to the community , and documentation to set up a community , e.g. models for rules of associations and examples of 
agreements with distr ibution system operat ors. COMMISS ION

Paediatr ic cancers are a collection of diverse rare diseases that together represent individually life-thr eatening diseases 
and collectively a major public health issue. With 35 000 new cases and more than 6 000 children and young people 
dying each year in Europe, paediatr ic cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease for children and 
adolescents. Moreover , there are more than 300 000 European childhood cancer survivors (nearly half a million by 
2020). Two thirds of survivors live with the long-t erm treatment-related side effects that can be severe and impact on 
the daily life of half of those affected.

For the medium and long term , cities across the Union should implement on a large scale the concept of auton omous/ 
driverless electr ic cars, helping them to promot e a bette r and green urban mobility policy for their citizens, tourists, 
other relevant stak eholders and the envi ronment. This pilot project involves a set of integra ted actions in at least 10 
cities (pilot cities), of various sizes, in differ ent Member States, including cong ested urban centres and key 
neighbourhoods, tourist destinations, including fortresses, thematic amusement parks and resor ts, airports, 
educational campuses, large hospitals, etc. The project ensures a sound geographical balance between cities which are 
spread over Member States (nor th, south, east, west, centre), between wealthier and poorer cities, and between big or 
small to medium-sized cities. Drawi ng on strong political will and on compet ent administrative and technical 
capacity , action will be take n to test auton omous vehicles and customise a future initiative that turns the pilot phase 
into a communitar ian one. 
The project combines, in an integrat ed manner , the acquisition of small driverless electr ic shuttle buses with a capacity 
of 15 people, including access for people with disabilities, which offer more, efficient and smar t mobility for pilot 
cities and private sites. 
The shuttles will draw on data from LIDAR sensors, cameras, GPS facilities, real-time kinetic positioning sources, IMU 
sensors and odometr y, which will be merged and interpret ed by in-depth learning programmes, using artificial 
intelligence and high-speed connectivity . 
Acquisition will be compl emented by intensi ve educational campai gns promoted through social media channels in city 
halls, schools, universities, touris t information centres, housing associations, unions etc. The goal is to develop a 
robust urban mentality that is geared to using this alternative transpor t model, enhance the importance of green 
mobility altern atives in the European urban environment, and to visibly promote the Commission’s financial suppor t. 
At the end of the pilot project, a lessons-lear nt guide will be produced and delivered publicly in all the official 
languag es of the Union. It will be disseminated via relevant official channels (e.g. association of municipalities in ever y 
Member State , relevant umbrella netw orks for local government, tour ist destinations, and transpor t unions). Public 
events (e.g. press confer ences) and practical demonstrations will be held at the European Parliament, the Committee of 
the Regions and the Commission and in ever y pilot city. 
The shuttles will be fitted with smar t facilities (e.g. digital displa ys) provid ing relevant information about jour neys, 
destinations, carbon footpr int and educational messages about the importance of living in a green urban 
environment ; they will measure air quality in real time, using sensors, and communicate arrivals and depar tures at 
stations, using audio and digital displa yed message s; they will provi de passeng ers with free wi-fi. Dur ing the pilot 
project, use of shuttles will be free of charge. The operational costs necessar y for optimum functioning will be covered 
by the projects and warranties offered by the compan y winning a public tender for deliver ing the shuttles. 
Another fundamental argument is that, by deliver ing tangible results, this kind of pilot project will creat e a scalable 
model usable for different cities across the Union, with different and specifi c mobility needs. Its results will help 
municipalities and other relevant stak eholders (including private operat ors) to prepare their future mobility projects 
that could be funded by the Commission and national govern ments during the next allocation period (2021–2024) 
through regional operational programmes and other programmes suppor ting Union’s cohesion policy . They will 
become more awar e of costs, safety and secur ity requirements, logistics, maint enance costs, and affordability COMMI SSION

The Union has 24 official Member State language s. In addition, there are unofficial regional language s as well as 
minor ity languag es and languages used by immigrants and impor tant trading partners. Several studies have found a 
striking imbalance in term s of digital language technologies. Very few languag es, such as English, French and Spanish, 
are well suppor ted technologically , while more than 20 languag es are in dange r of digital extinction. The recent study 
‘Language equality in the digital age’, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Science and Techn ology Opti ons 
Assessment (STO A) panel, made 11 general recommendations on how to address this growing threat. It was follo wed 
up by a European Parliament resolution of 11 Septembe r 2018 on languag e equality in the digital age (on the basis of 
a joint CUL T/ITRE repor t), making 45 general recommendations, several of which follow the STO A study . 
Technology-enabled multilingualism is missing one crucial and mission-cr itical piece – a strateg ic research and 
implementation agenda. This pilot project develops an agenda and a roadmap for achi eving full digital languag e 
equality in Europe by 2030. In close collaboration with the European institutions, the project will bring together all 
stak eholders (including industr y, research and inno vation communities, national innovati on organisations, national 
and internati onal public administrations and associations), initiate a structured dialogue and public consultations, 
organise brainstor ming sessions and conferences throughout Europe, and pull together all initiatives that are currently 
isolat ed and fragment ed in order to produce a sustainable and interwoven strategy for human languag e technologies in 
Europe in all relevant sectors and areas of life, including trade, education, health, tourism, culture and govern ance. This 
will also extend to an inve stigation into the impact of artificial intellig ence technologies on the linguistic landscape in 
Europe, including the ever -increasing brain drain of young talent to other continents. COMMISS ION

Remark s 
The Union has the ambition to be a global leader in the fight against climat e change and sustainability , mobilising the 
entire European econom y with the objective to reach climat e neutrality and change towards a circular economy while 
twinning this effort with the ongoing digital transf ormation. The green transition and the digital transf ormation will 
also constitute the two major pillars of the European post-C OVID-19 economic recovery . 
On the one hand, Europe must leverage the poten tial of digital technologies and solutions as enablers of the green 
transition since digital technologies have the potential to cut emissions across sector s by 10 times more than they 
themselves emit. A recent repor t produced by the GSMA and the Carbon Trust calculated that, in 2018, mobile 
technology enabled a cut in CO2 emissions almost 10 times greater than the global carbon footpr int of the mobile 
industr y itself. It is estimated that by 2030 digital solutions could help reduce CO2 emissions by 20%. COMMI SSION

On the other hand, making ‘Europe fit for the Digital Age’ can also be at odds with the European Green Deal 
objectives. The ICT sector accounts for 5-9% of global energy consump tion and without proper greening adjustment 
actions; this could increase to 20% by 2030. With more than 12 million tons per year, Europe rank s second only 
behind Asia in term s of e-wast e. The generation of e-waste is growing by 3-5 % per year in the Union and less than 
40% is being recy cled. Value lost in e-waste, such as rare earth minerals and precious metals, is estimated at EUR 55 
billion/ye ar globally . 
To ensure that new digital technologies, infrastr uctures and solutions enable the European climat e goals (ICT for 
Green) and that the ICT sector itself reduces its carbon footpr int (Green ICT), all relevant stake holders must commit. 
They must impro ve energy efficiency , decrease overall energy consum ption and utilise renewable sources where 
possible, as well as impro ve the mater ial efficiency and circular ity of their products to minimise e-waste and maximise 
the value for the econom y and consumers. 
Swif t and resolute steps needs to be taken by the market and policy-maker s towards a more digital, circular , climat e- 
neutral and moder nised econom y. Despite this, the Union does not have the forum to bring all relevant actors 
together . The Green Digital Alliance (GD A) is proposed as an initiative that aims to foster a strong commitment of the 
digital sector in favour of the envi ronment. It should create a coherent and trusted framewor k that can under pin the 
digital industr y’s efforts not only to become climate -neutral but also to contr ibut e to the climate objectives of other 
sectors such as agriculture, mobility , energy , urban development, and manufactur ing. 
Under the super vision of the Commission, the GDA will: 
1. collect, screen and monitor commitments and results by mark et players and other organisations based on an agreed 
assessment and monit oring framew ork. 
2. publish, examine and debate a study on the impact of new digital technologies on the environment. 
3. propose and imple ment a Green ICT Scoreboard and a European Green Digital Award, to the most eco-fr iendly and 
disrupti ve European innovati on, to be given at a yearly event co-organised by GDA. These initiatives will give visibility 
and reward good envi ronmental practices. 
The GDA will compr ise the ICT industr y and relevant stak eholders, including policy-maker s from local and regional 
representatives and environmental NGOs. A trusted cooperative environment will be built to assess and monitor the 
commitments and their imple mentation, to share good practices and to develop policy recommendations. 
Events are to be organised by the GDA and under the auspices of the Commission, in cooperation with local partners. 
Those can take place in differ ent Member States, focusing on key policy areas linking the European Green Deal and the 
new Union digital and industr ial strateg ies. 
Areas linking the European Green Deal and the new Union industr ial and digital strateg ies covers among other 
elements:

Remark s 
The ports on the Rhine-Main-Danube basin are signif icant nodes in the logistics and transpor t chains that form the 
economic backbon e of the Danube region. While efficient ports are vital to the socio-economic development of their 
hint erland, the related ship traffic, the handling of cargo in the ports and the land-based hinterland connections can 
impact negat ively the environment (e.g.. pollution, CO2), the people and the economic poten tial of the port itself. 
Ports are also affected by environmental impacts (e.g. climate change i.e. extreme weather events, sea level rise, floods 
and droughts). Increasing environmental and climate aware ness creat es new challenges for the sustainable 
development of ports. 
These challenges require the ports to identify and implement new environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions 
including energy effic iency impro vements, environmental strateg ies and monitor ing tools suppor ting the transition to 
renewable energy and zero-emissions, as well as full compl iance with relevant Union envi ronmental and climate 
legislation. Having in mind one impor tant goal of the European Green Deal, the shift of cargo to inland water way 
transpor t and rail, inland and sea-r iver ports in the Rhine-Main-Danube basin will become a focal point for 
sustainable development of the TEN- T Rhine-Main-Danube corridor . COMMI SSION

To best manage the challeng es in an effective way, a two-p hase approach is envisag ed: 
- Phase 1 – pilot project (PP) – addressing environmental impacts stemming from the port activities of selected river 
and sea ports in the Rhine-Main-Danube basin by developing and implementing specific tools (Envir onmental 
Manag ement Syste ms - EMS) and by defining a port specifi c action plan for sustainable port operations. 
- Phase 2 – poten tially , a preparatory action (PA) – building upon the findings of the pilot project and enabling the 
wide-scale roll out of an integrat ed “Green Danube Ports Action Plan” as part of a new preparatory action. To this end, 
the recently established coordination and collaboration platf orm, the Rhine-Main-Danube basin Ports Netw ork (DPN) 
could function as a multiplying govern ance structure. 
In the pilot project, seven select ed river and sea-r iver ports portraying a representative sample of the about seventy 
ports of the Danube region will jointly address their environmental responsibilities through the development and 
implementation of EMS, as well as the elaboration of port specifi c action plans creating a nucleus for wide-scale roll- 
out of environmentally sustainable port manage ment and operations. 
While each EMS is unique to an organisation's culture, structure, activities and envi ronmental priority issues, within 
the project, the Plan-Do-Check -Act Model and the eco-manage ment and auditing should be transferred from the 
beneficiar y partners of the pilot project to other Rhine-Main-Danube basin ports as well as to identif ied target groups 
(users of the port, cargo owners, logistic service providers, general public). Theref ore, an accessible generic framew ork 
suppor ting the planning of sustainable port operations, facilitating the mitig ation of potential risks and encouraging 
port author ities and port and term inal operat ors to engag e with sustainability agendas and plan their port operations 
and future capacity expansions and emerging port infrastr ucture project in a sustainable and smar t manner will be 
defined. The elaborat ed port-specifi c action plans of the seven model ports should serve as good practices for the 
followers. Some of the measures proposed in the action plans will be of commercial relevance and even be bankable. 
Their implementation with the help of loans should be considered. Financing by financial institutions like EIB, EBRD 
but also new means of finance (energy contracting, crowd funding) will be inve stigat ed.

Objectives: 
This pilot project aims to suppor t public administrations in the adop tion of cost-eff ective and flexible digital solutions 
through the introduction of the Gov Tech ecosystem to the European public sector . 
By followi ng and scaling up the Gov Tech platf orm model, public administrations across Europe can work together 
more easily to solve shared challeng es and more cost-effe ctively adapt existing projects to their individual needs. This 
includes, where feasible, the use of open source licensing. 
The use of the Gov Tech model across the EU-27 would offer the benefi ts of scale to both public administrations and 
providers of digital services, as stated in the New SME Strateg y (2020). Moreover , this project would help to develop 
the European Gov Tech mark et and suppor t the public sector to access tailor made digital solutions quic kly and 
efficiently . By creating a hub for differ ent public administrations, participating businesses and citizens will be able to 
collaborate and exchang e ideas, best practices can be circulat ed, and project costs shared, thereby enhancing 
interoperability and cross-border cooperation. 
At the same time providers, in particular European SMEs and start-ups offering envi ronmentally friendly , cutting-edg e 
technologies or inno vative solutions, would gain recognition as trusted partners in the deliver y of moder n digital 
solutions for public services. The project should be developed making use of the latest standards of service design 
available and in dialogue with a wide array of stak eholders, including public bodies and SMEs from across the Union. 
This would suppor t the moder nisation of public administrations across the Union, by reinf orcing efforts to achieve 
Europe’s green transition through a more efficient adoptio n of inno vative solutions. It is also an impor tant tool to 
engage Union citizens. 
This initiative also aims at suppor ting the Commission’s objective to stimulate a digital transf ormation that will benefit 
ever yone, including citizens and businesses. If fully implement ed, the project will positively contr ibut e to attaining the 
following objectives of the Union: (a) Digital Strategy , (b) New SMEs Strategy , (c) Industr ial Strateg y and (d) European 
Green Deal. This initiative also provides an important input into the new e-Government Action Plan, for whic h 
preparat ory works are already under way, and as a response to the increasing digital needs. The inno vative Gov Tech 
platf orm and solutions provid ed by cost-effic ient and environmentally friendly enterprises will further contr ibut e to 
the economic recovery of the Union, which is of critical importance in the post-CO VID19 reality . 
The pilot project will achi eve its objectives by combining top-do wn activities, bottom-up activities and direct research 
of citizens’ views. 
Top-down activities: 
This action aims to enga ge with public administration in a foresight exer cise to promote the alignment of their 
strateg ies and implementation roadmaps of digital solutions. By doing so, the project will suppor t the streamlining of 
public services and contr ibut e towards Europe’s sustainable transition. The scenar io building approach, combined 
with the shar ing of success stor ies, will be used to reveal the dynamics of a fast-ev olving ecosystem. It should also

Bott om-up activities: 
This action aims to engag e with the fast growing GovTech ecosystem to harvest ideas that help public administrations 
in adopting digital solutions. It will suppor t the development or use of one common platf orm to gather challenge s and 
allow other public administrations to contr ibut e or form part of a consor tium involved in a particular challeng e and 
source solutions from provi ders. In the pilot phase, the action should concentrat e on ideas to suppor t one or more of 
the Union's objectives as mentioned in the strateg ic documents present ed by the Commission in 2020. 
For example: the Digital Innovation Challenge, launch ed by the pilot project ‘Reuse of digital standards to suppor t the 
SME sector’, and appro ved under the 2019 budget, can be used as a source of inspiration given that this format has 
proven to be successful by engaging a wide ecosystem of players and crowd source innovative ideas (*). 
Direct research with citizens: 
In addition to the abov e-mentioned activities, this action aims also to use innovati ve service design methods to include 
the views of citizens in the above streams of work. This all-inclusive and all-embracing approac h should try to unveil 
how citizens perceive the new oppor tunities offered by digital solutions in streamlining communication between 
administrations and citizens, or combating climate change and the role of public administrations in this process.

Remark s 
The COVID-19 outbreak has dramatically affect ed the Union’s tourism sector , as a result of the forced closure of 
restaurants, bars, snac k-bars, hotels and others all over Europe. It seems reasonable to expect that the afterm ath of the 
crisis will bring chang es to the way this sector operat es. Particularly , consumers may become more concer ned in 
ensur ing the safety of the processes, that the staff is well-trained and that hygienic conditions are verified. 
This pilot project aims at developing the digital infrastr ucture of SMEs operating in the tourism sector around the 
Union. While digitisation has alwa ys been impor tant, this situation has signif icantly increased its value and 
importance for SMEs, which studies have shown are generally less digitalised than larger companies. If these 
compan ies do not adapt, man y will go out of business. 
In practice, this pilot project will suppor t companies of the tour ist sector , in particular SMEs, so they can develop and 
implement digital solutions as a strateg y to overcome the challeng es posed by this crisis. These solutions should 
include booking system s taking into account social distancing, artificial intelligence (AI) solutions managing crowds, 
and disinfection robots to clean quic kly public spaces. 
These solutions should be implemented on two levels. First : creating a free public digital platf orm for the differ ent 
industr ies operating in the tour ism sector . This platf orm will promote interaction between clients and companies 
through booking systems taking into account social distancing and AI solutions managing crowd s, for instance, 
allowing to order food to take awa y or making bookings according to the plan of the restaurants, bars, hotels, etc.. In 
practice, the owners may introduce videos, photos and other sources of information in the app, allowing clients to 
decide exactly where and when to sit and be provid ed services and make their bookings according ly. On the other 
hand, owners can impro ve part of their systems by developing and implementing the necessar y tools and 
infrastr ucture to better connect them with their clients. With this app, consumers will thus feel much more confident 
to go to bars, restaurants, hote ls and other companies in the touris m sector . 
Second: introducing digitisation in the in-house operations of companies operating in the sector , so that restaurants, 
bars or hotels not only increase their productivity , but also become safer for all the parties involved, which may prove 
to be particularly important in the near future. To attain this, compan ies can, for example, use disinf ection robots to 
clean quickly public spaces or develop and implement solutions that decrease the need for person-to-per son 
interactions, such as QR code syste ms or cashless payments syste ms. 
The project will further more suppor t the tourism sector by provid ing consultancy services to the owners. These 
cont ents are particularly designed for their type of businesses. And the fact that it is an EU app will not leave anyone - 
that is to say, any compan y - behind. COMMI SSION

This pilot project will have as its main outcome an increased level of digitisation of the SMEs in the tourism sector , 
through whic h they are expected to become more prepared to deal with the changes brought on by the COVID-19 
outbreak. Suppor ting the digitalisation of European SMEs is a clear priority of the Commission that has become even 
more important in the current situation. Given the importance of SMEs in the diffe rent industr ies of the touris m 
sector, both as a source of value-added and jobs, it is critical that effort is made to suppor t the companies of this 
sector during this crisis.

Remark s 
Across the Union, rural villag es and regions suffer from chronic isolation, resulting in loss of cultural and economic 
dynamism, aging population, and a strong mobility dependence on individual transpor t. The COVID19 crisis has 
severely weake ned these areas and creat ed enor mous challenges - inter alia for the European tour ism sector . Pre-cr isis 
trends show that there is a strong and growing demand for rural sustainable touristic destinations. Rural areas have 
significant natural, human, economic and cultural potential and their development suppor ts regional growth. 
Offering sustainable rural transpor t solutions, whilst at the same time suppor ting the sustainability of tour ist 
destinations awa y from mainstream pathwa ys is a win-win situation, contr ibuting to the reduction of negative 
transpor t-related consequences of tourism as well as promoting more sustainable mobility altern atives for citizens in 
rural areas. Insufficient sustainable mobility choices often disincentivise touris ts from choosing rural tour ist 
destinations thus preventing the development of sustainable tour ism. Insuffi cient connection to local public 
transpor tation netw orks also discourag es the efforts of the local providers to offer sustainable and low-car bon 
destinations and activities. 
The Union policy process of sustainable mobility in rural areas is still at an early stage of development. The pilot 
project will theref ore draw on the success story of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) in the urban cont ext and 
establish a rural equivalent of integrative sustainable rural mobility plans including both the needs of local populations 
and tour ists. The pilot project will also build on the good practices identified through SMAR TA and SMAR TA 2 
concer ning sustainable shared mobility solutions inter connected with public transpor t and suppor ted by multimodal 
travel information services. It will have a broader focus than the previous projects and would be compl ementar y, 
focusing on interconnecting mobility needs, and extending to rural tourism mobility . A particular focus will be on the 
reco very of rural and remot e areas in the post COVID-19 period. Building on SUMPs’ guiding principles, the pilot 
project should identify the respective ‘functional rural areas’ based on actual flows of people and goods as well as with 
the aim of inter connecting and promoting local sustainable tour ism destinations. This twof old orientation will create 
synergies between mobility needs of local populations and tourists. Improving sustainable mobility solutions in the 
high season will creat e jobs for locals (both in the transpor t and in the touristic sector) and it will create seasonal COMMISS ION

income that will be able to finance permanent sustainable mobility solutions. At the end of the pilot project period, the 
assessment should include levels of utilisation and user satisf action as well as reduction in the emissions of greenhouse 
gases. 
The pilot project will look at how to best organise and develop rural areas with their mobility solutions to connect 
with neighbour ing urban agglomerations. This includes the mobility beha vioural impact of changed labour markets, 
including compan ies’ mobility plans and cross-border aspect, the impact of digitalisation as well as the European 
Green Deal and its impact on sustainable smar t mobility in rural areas as well as tourism. Possibilities with links to 
other ongoing projects can be found by focusing on interoperability , inter -connectivity , inter -modality (including 
walking and cycling), sustainable regional development, cohesion, emplo yment, just transition, digitalisation, research 
and development and innovation. Another link to existing European goals would be further researc h into establishing 
a European multimodal transpor t information, management and payment system. To further suppor t rural tourism in 
Europe, the pilot project should work towards the development of an app or a website provid ing recommendation of 
ecotourism based on the current location and supplied with information about distance and facilities in each 
ecotourism region. 
The pilot project should promot e: 
carpooling, car shar ing and e-bike shar ing interconnected with public transpor t, 
demand-responsive vehicles, receiving bookings via phone calls as well as digitally and pooling similar jour ney request 
to save energy and offer door -to-door transpor tation, 
further digital and organisational solutions to increase frequency of passage in mountainous regions with dispersed

The pilot project will suppor t local author ities and sustainable rural tour ism providers to connect their touris t 
destinations to existing sustainable mobility netw orks and to adapt public transpor tation offers to touris ts’ needs 
(time sche duling, frequencies, lines and modes coherence and information, possibility to buy inter -modal day tickets). 
The pilot project should suppor t the identification and promotion of activities and destinations that can be done 
using sustainable mobility . For local sustainable touris m provi ders, the pilot project will make available Union 
financing to inve st in sustainable mobility infrastr ucture connecting their destinations to local transpor t netw ork such 
as: 
new cycling and hiking tracks in combination with public transpor t, 
Union financing for e-bik es. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
This pilot project intends to provid e suppor t, kno wledge and, in a later stage, inva luable lessons to accelerat e the 
ongoing compl etion of the Sing le European Railwa y Area. The pilot project should identify and address shor tcomings 
within the rail ecosystem by analysing one select rout e with a holistic approach centred on cross-border operations. 
The route for the pilot project should be the one between Munic h and Verona. Three Member States (DE/Ba varia, 
AT/Tyrol and IT/V eneto) would be involved along the line that includes one of the flagships of the TEN- T 
infrastr ucture cross-border constr uction projects: the Brenner Base Tunnel. 
The holistic approac h should ensure that all aspects and needs are identif ied and considered on an equal footing. The 
aim is to cover the entire transpor t chain, ranging from custome rs, to transpor t operators, to railwa y under takings, as 
well as infrastr ucture manage rs and regulatory bodies. 
The main goal is to establish a joint set of rules for the corridor infrastr ucture spanning three jurisdictions and 
eliminating the ensuing obstacles for rail traff ic. Today, this type of joint arrangements are not foreseen by legislation. 
The actions required to prepare for this, and which could benefit other European infrastr ucture, should include: 
Obligat ory requirements to engag e in collaborative decision-making in rail traffic operations and to engag e in binding 
perf ormance agreements between all stak eholders in a (multimodal) rail freight transpor t. 
Strateg ic allocation of rail infrastr ucture capacity for different types of traff ic (i.e. several years in advance), in this case 
in particular for internati onal rail freight traff ic, taking into account the overall needs and requirements from Italy , 
Austr ia and German y, and the alternati ve road transpor t transiting the Alps. 
Capacity management and traff ic management at the level of the proposed corridor , e.g. by ensur ing governance or 
appointing a supra-national entity in charge of defining and imposing such rules and procedures in a binding manner . 
Requirements for joint decision-making by rail regulatory bodies as concer ns internatio nal traff ic going beyond the 
provisions on cooperation between regulatory bodies defined in Article 57 of Directive 2012/34/EU. 
Joint centralised and automa ted traff ic manage ment, including interfaces with interlocking/signalling syste m, on 
netw orks of different rail infrastr ucture manag ers. 
The methodology that emerges over the course of the work will be closely documented so the output will go beyond 
producing a recipe to optimise the pilot rout e in order to provi de a European best practice guideline potentially 
applicable throughout the entire Sing le European Railwa y Area. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
The pilot project is intended to develop a shared methodology for transf orming existing stations, or designing new 
ones into socio-t echnical system s operating simultaneously as city’s greening engines for the surrounding 
environment, and new urban hubs aggregating multiple services fully integrat ed with energy-efficient and socially- 
inclusive mobility . 
The pilot project is meant to contr ibute to the achi evement of a climate -neutral society , as well as to the 
implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals concer ned with sustainable, smar t and inclusive cities, 
transpor t and infrastr ucture, resources management, climat e mitig ation and adap tation, reduction in the emissions of 
greenhouse gases, health, envi ronmental protection and biodiversity regenerat ion, sustainable land use, and gender 
equality . As such it can further more contr ibute to the researc h and innovati on activities of the Shif t2Ra il Joint 
Under taking, or its successor in the context of infrastr ucture, digital and multimodality . 
Railwa y stations connect multimodal mobility services and the rest of the urban environment. In most cases they also 
are nodes of the transpor tation, energy , telecommunica tions, water distr ibution and waste disposal infrastr ucture 
netw orks, with a high density of installed technical equipment. As such , they have a big unexploited poten tial both as 
new urban vital centres and as installations of advanced engineer ing solutions for environmental prot ection, 
sustainable solutions concer ned with mobility , collaborative econom y, and social services, contr ibuting to pursue the 
objectives of the European Green Deal in terms of: mobilisation of the industr y for a circular econom y, clean and 
affordable energy supply , smar t and resource-efficient building, zero urban pollution ambitions, respecting 
ecosyste ms and biodiversity , implementing the Farm to Fork Strate gy, etc, in orga nic connection with smar t and 
multimodal mobility (rail, e-mobility , car shar ing, bike-shar ing, etc.). Moreover , stations can give a response to health 
crises (e.g. COVID19) and natural disaste rs (due to climate change), as they can be readapt ed or conver ted to 
temporar y recep tion facilities, shelt ers, hospitals, and any other typology that needs availability of big spaces. 
All these goals will be integrat ed and achieve d within the project proposals developed for stations with a common 
methodology . 
The model is aimed to develop a new concep t analysis that should represent a paradigm shift in designing all the social 
activities connected with the railwa y stations in all the areas in which they operat e, broadening its original purpose and 
functions as a simple depar ture/ar rival point of rail transpor tation. The new railwa y station can be not only a less 
energy-wasting, less polluting facility , but in fact a greening plant in the city that contr ibutes a net positive balance to 
the environment. 
At the same time, it can become a dense node of economic and social activities inherently integrat ed with energy- 
efficient mobility solutions, multiplying oppor tunities and solutions for economic growth, collaborative econom y, 
and social inclusion. COMMISS ION

In order to achi eve an adequate level of inter operability of the transpor tation netw orks in the Union, a certain degree 
of standardisation of the essential features of the railwa y stations is required and, as a consequence, most of the 
fundamental elements of the railwa y station design and operation can contr ibute to deliver innovati on to a great er 
exte nt. For this reason, the new railwa y station concep t design, operation and manag ement must be conduct ed 
according to a common European-wide framewor k or methodology that, while enabling a sufficient latitude to 
accommodat e specific local conditions or prevailing oppor tunities, may still guarantee the necessar y degree of 
harmonisation and common objectives. 
Further more, the Union needs to establish methods and tools to better assess the impacts – in all their dimensions – of 
inno vative patter ns affecting urban planning practices and urban mobility in general. A common methodology to 
streamline and coordinat e these instr uments will help decision-makers to develop policies in suppor t of the 
participation from public and private actors to the implementation of innovati ve and coordinated solutions for 
mobility . Theref ore, the resulting methodology should incor porat e business modelling principles, behavioural- 
economic models and co-design approac hes target ed at incor porating the inception into the design of the technical 
infrastr ucture. The inclusion of the socio-economic drivers of mobility , climate-fri endly and social-inclusive 
beha viours and businesses will drive and compl ement the innovati on brought in the stations and their surrounding 
areas, while provi ding economic actor s with incentives for investments at the same time. 
Bringing together station managers and railwa y operat ors, mayors and local administrations, public and private 
transpor t operators, Union institutions, citizens ’ representative bodies, NGOs, and research institutions around a 
common plan target ed to the urban environment surrounding and including the public stations will streamline public 
interventions and private investments, while providing an institutional framew ork to the model that will be creat ed. 
The pilot project will be developed through the implementation of at least four ‘Living Labs’ in four differ ent Member 
States. It will follo w an applied research pathwa y mixing fundamental researc h with the design and creation of new 
models that would be scalable and applicable to real conte xts. 
On the one hand, the pilot project’s partners will cooperate in order to kno w, understand, and explain which operative 
options can mak e railwa y stations and their surrounding neighbourhoods becoming the primar y driver of sustainable 
practices of mobility , logistics and work, and resilient infrastr uctures able to readapt when necessar y. Successively , 
taking advantag e of the outcomes of basic urban research, the project will investigat e how stakeho lders can fully 
benefit from the new model proposed which aims to creat e value for stakeho lders and citizens. 
Living Labs will be developed in the followi ng way: 
(1) Conducting workshops with committed stak eholders to establish a working methodology and manag ement 
structure for the pilot, and to launch the project co-design activities in open collaboration and interface with the 
Shif t2Ra il Joint Under taking or its successor . 
(2) Conducting workshops to assess under -developed railwa y stations potential as multi-ser vice, mobility-hub, urban 
greening infrastr uctures, with respect to their possible contr ibution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 
European Green Deal’s objectives. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
As expanding the charging infrastr ucture and increasing grid capacity are impor tant issues for the European Green 
Deal to succeed, this can be impro ved from the demand side by increasing both the energy efficiency and on-board 
power generation to vehicles. Study programmes do mention both energy efficiency of vehicles and innovati ons on 
grid/charging infrastr ucture utilising smar t charging solutions. However , no studies have linke d the combination of 
energy efficiency on vehicle-level, on-vehicle energy generation and the impact on charging infrastr ucture and tested 
this in real-life using pilot projects. The European Green Deal has announced that 1 million charging stations are 
needed to keep up with the introduction of electr ic vehicles. Focusing on energy efficiency and on-board solar power 
generation might offer less energy demand on this charging infrastr ucture. Policy can then be adap ted to fit this 
oppor tunity . Early studies show promising results. An increase of 20% to 40% of the vehicle efficiency for vehicles COMMISS ION

decreases energy demand of these vehicles by almost 60%. Additionally , a grid operat or in the Netherlands has shown 
that investments in charging infrastr ucture for electr ic vehicles might drop by over 30%. This is a result of self-c harging 
energy-efficient vehicles able to charg e at a fast charging rate even on 220 – 230 V grids. Energy flow models of 
researc h and technology organisation could be used to determine this effect in greater detail. 
The goal of this pilot project is to assess the energy efficiency of personal vehicles, public transpor t vehicles and 
deliver y vehicles (in terms of kilometres driven per kWh consumed), and the poten tial for on-board solar power 
generation by exper imenting with real-lif e use cases. This pilot project will be one of the first exper iments with 
on-board solar generation on a larger scale over differ ent modalities and locations. The resulting charging 
requirements of each vehicle could provide evidence for strengthening Union policy on reducing emissions from 
transpor t further and faster . Such adapt ed policy moreo ver will stimulate the development of Union value chains for 
on-board solar power generation, which in turn has the poten tial to increase emplo yment oppor tunities. 
A compar ative study will be conduct ed on charging needs of high and low energy efficient vehicles. The vehicles aim 
to have comparab le specifications in term s of person capacity , load or volume. Besides energy efficiency , energy 
generating vehicles and non-energy generating vehicles will be assessed as well. Energy generation poten tial on 
vehicles differ s per location, theref ore diffe rent locations in the Union will be evaluated with a special focus on 
souther n and eastern countr ies in the Union. 
Finally , it will be assessed how specifically the quantity and spacing of elements in the charging infrastr ucture could be 
decreased. In conclusion, this pilot project should be able to yield insights into the effect of vehicle efficiency and 
on-board solar power generation which can provid e added value to the draf ting of Union policies to enable electr ic 
vehicles and stimulating Union value chains and emplo yment in this field.

A smar t destination is the result of several factors, including information and communication technologies that 
promot e an inno vative territory , cooperation and co-creation, mainly by visito rs. On the basis of an understanding of 
this aspect, accessibility is one of the features of an intelli gent tourist destination, both physically and virtual. 
Smar tness enhances the quality of the exper ience at the destination for both visitors and residents. 
A smar t city can be seen as an urban space that takes advantage of information and communication technologies and 
data science to answer today’s challenges, namely to become more efficient in services and infrastr ucture manag ement 
and to deliver enhanced quality of life to the people who live or work in the city or visit the city, including suppor t for 
combating climate change. 
In this conte xt, city author ities are under pressure and are going through a digital transf ormation process that is 
reflected in the prolife ration of smar t-cities initiatives around the world. This is part of the strateg ic response to the 
challenge s and oppor tunities of growing urbanisation and climate change, together with the emergence of cities as a 
space for social and economic development framed by an urgent need for global sustainability . 
A study on smar t cities will cover a concept of urban intelligence and its building blocks that result from the city digital 
transf ormation process, which will lead to a paradigm shift turning the city into a platf orm where urban planning and 
manag ement for sustainability is suppor ted by urban analytics and real-time data. 
With that in mind, a study will be carried out on the basis of an implementation plan in a specific city or region with a 
view to ensur ing: 
— quantitative and qualitative data on tour ism and smar t destinations; 
— bette r kno wledge of the impact of tourism; 
— the development and creation of a European methodology of tourism analysis based on big data applied at Union 
level for smar t destinations; 
— bette r research and development for solutions designed at Union level; 
— scope for local testing and future applicability (implem entation plan in a specifi c city). COMMISS ION

As demonstrated by recent media investigations into tax evasion and mone y launder ing, such as the Panama Papers 
and Paradise Papers, the use of ‘offshore’ structures, such as compan ies, trusts, foundations and financial instr uments 
held in or via other jurisdictions, allows not only the real ownership of wealth, but also its location and perhaps its 
very existen ce, to remain hidden. In the shor t to medium term , this secrecy allows wealth to escape taxation but also 
creat es fertile ground for financial crimes such as corruption, mone y launder ing, tax evasion and avoidance, and the 
funding of terror ism. In the long er term , this secrecy helps fuel inequality as appro ximat ely 50% of the wealth hidden 
offshore (wealth held offshore and not repor ted to author ities) belongs to the top 0.01% of the wealthiest people in COMMI SSION

the world. Offshore wealth is likely theref ore to be a key factor responsible for exacerbating wealth inequality if it 
remains under taxed . 
Some progress have been made in the past to tack le secrecy , especially at Union level. Many Member States have land 
registr ies; they have adopt ed the directive on administrative cooperation to autom atically exchange financia l 
information among themselves (including bank accounts); and with the revision of the anti-money launder ing 
directive, they will soon all have public registr ies of beneficial owners of companies and registr ies of trusts ’ beneficial 
owners accessible to persons with a legitimate inter est in obtaining that information . 
However , there are still gaps in the availability of imp ortant information in order to properly be able to tax wealth in 
the Union and fight mone y launder ing. Having a less fragmented approach across the Union would be benefi cial. The 
Union should consider the feasibility of and arrangements for creating a Union-wide registr y in which details of 
ownership of certain types of assets are recorded, in order to ensure the necessar y linkag es between existing 
transparency mech anisms and with a view to adding new key information necessar y to fight tax evasion and mone y 
launder ing. 
The pilot project should be used by the Commission to explore how to better collect and link full benefi cial ownership 
information (e.g. registr ies of land, compan ies, trusts and foundations; and central deposit ories of secur ities 
ownership) and analyse areas for further work (e.g. design, scope and capacity constraints) for such a Union registr y. 
The Commission should pay special attention to the scope for including other assets in that registr y (e.g. bitcoins, art, 
gold and proper ties) and to the IT requirements and take into consideration privacy issues. 
By mapping existing information (in a public and non-public form) and through exchanges with exper ts in the relevant 
field (taxation, corruption, mone y launder ing, financial mark ets, IT and law), this pilot project will provid e 
recommendations for the possible creation of an asset registr y whic h could be turned into policy action in the future 
if technical and political conditions were met.

The expansion of the dair y sector , the increase in the average productivity of dair y cows, and the surplus of male dair y 
calves have not been accompanied by update d animal welf are policies. A recent Commission’s repor t indicates that 
insufficient attention is being paid to paramete rs such as mastitis, lameness, cubicle design and lying comf ort, whic h 
are kno wn to influence not only welf are but also health and on-far m long evity of dair y cows. Member States have 
different regulatory regimes, thus disrupti ng the level-pla ying field for producers. Additionally , the increase in the size 
of dair y herds in some countr ies is causing a chronic surplus of male dair y calves, which have to be transpor ted 
unweaned over very long distances to specialised fattening farms. The challenges encounter ed during the long- 
distance transpor t of unweaned dair y calves have not been resolved, and there is evidence from several non- 
governmental organisations that these vulnerable animals cannot be prot ected during such transpor t. Another 
overlooked aspect is the treatment of end-of-career animals. There is evidence that ‘downer ’ cows (i.e. unfit for 
transpor t) may be transpor ted to compl acent abattoirs for slaughter . This is not only a violation of Union rules on 
animal transpor t and slaughter , but it also represents a threat to food safety . 
This pilot project has four main aims: (1) to produce a clear set of good and best practice guidelines for the welfare of 
dair y heife rs, cows and calves on the basis of robust animal-based indicators , as well as guidance on the correct 
treatment of end-of-career dair y cows; (2) to carry out a socio-economic impact assessment of shifting from transpor t 
of unweaned male dair y calves over long distances to local rear ing and fattening ; (3) to propose economic models to 
prevent the transpor t of end-of-career dair y cows; (4) to disseminate the outcomes in dair y-producing Member States 
and in those affected by the intra-Un ion trade of live unwea ned calves. The project should bring together from the 
onset relevant stak eholders, including scientists, veterinar ians and non-gov ernmental organisations. The outcomes 
should strong ly draw on the scientifi c and practical exper tise available, including from best practices already 
implemented .

Public acceptance of the use of ’enriched’ cage s for laying hens is decreasing, in particular in the light of scientific 
evidence showing that such cages severely restr ict the ability of laying hens to engag e in man y normal behaviours. 
The pilot project helps egg producers meet mark et demand by provid ing practical guidance on how to transition to 
alternative higher -welfa re cage -free systems. Major food businesses have already committed to sourcing only cage-free 
eggs by 2025 or earlier . In order to equip Union producers for such a transition and guarant ee that they stay in 
business, suppor t should be provid ed to them to conver t conven tional systems to higher -welfare alternati ve systems 
that are not only fit for purpose but also fit for the future. The pilot project looks into the diffe rent syste ms for laying 
hens and identify those that are optimal for animal health and welfare. The recommendations, whic h should include 
economic aspects, will be suppor ted by robust indicator s to measure animal welfare outcomes. The first phase of the 
pilot project collects information on best available practices for facilitating the transition towards higher -welfa re 
rear ing and keepin g of laying hens in barn, free-range and organic systems . The second phase consists of information 
events in at least four countr ies where altern ative rear ing systems are still not predominant (e.g. Spain, Poland, 
Portugal and Belgium) and a final event at Union level with major industr y and political stake holders as well as 
representatives from all Member States. The resulting guidance document should be as practice-or iented as possible, 
and should be illustrated , for example, with case studies (including economic data) on relevant systems from at least 
four Member States with the highest propor tion of cage-free egg production (e.g. Germany , the Netherlands, France 
and Italy).

people cannot afford a quality meal. On top of that, food waste has a huge environmental impact, accounting for about 
6% of Union’s total emissions of greenhouse gases and putting an unnecessar y burden on limited natural resources, 
such as land and water . 
Over 50% of food waste (47 million tonnes) is estimated to come from households and the consumer level. Household 
and consumer -focused inter ventions are, thus, essential to deliver ambitious overall food wast e reduction, with 
significant environmental, economic and social benefits. According to Eurobarometer , consumers recognise that they 
themselves have a role to play in preventing food waste. 
The Recommendations for Action in Food Waste Prevention developed by the EU Platf orm on Food Losses and Food 
Waste already contains a list of recommendations for action at the consumer level. However , there is a clear necessity 
to develop these recommendations further , substantiate them by data and find new ways to educate consumers about 
their actions. 
Theref ore, the pilot project aims to mobilise a netw ork of researc hers and practitioners in the context of the already 
existing EU Platf orm on Food Losses and Food Waste to gather data and develop a variety of evidence-based, practical 
solutions to reduce food waste at the household or consumer level. The exper ts of the Forum will work on a set of 
evidence-based tools and recommendations on reduction of consumer food waste. 
The exper ts of the Forum from the Member States will develop ways to bring closer multidimensional inter ventions in 
a variety of fields and will identify campa ign tools, which can be applied to reduce consumer food wast e. The 
campa ign manag ers together with researche rs will evaluate the effectiveness of various approaches. The 
multidimensional tools will include recommendations on nutr ition, recy cling, publicity , donations, community 
actions, ICT solutions, etc. 
These recommendations will be multilevel, aimed at consumers directly , at national governments, local author ities, 
educational institutions, enterprises and other relevant target groups. The Union would act within its compet ences to 
offer databased tools, whic h can be imple mented nationally . 
The Forum will issue researc hed, evidence-based recommendations towards the reduction of consumer food waste and 
a compendium of best practices will be the desired result. The Commission will coordinat e the administrative part and 
the pilot project will run initially for one year, with a possible exte nsion, depending on results. 
Objectives and expecte d outcomes of the pilot project: 
- review of existing measures related to consumer food waste in Member State s; 
- evaluation of identified existing activities based on their feasibility , reach and effectiveness; 
- research and data collection on various actions to prevent consumer food waste; 
- definition of research prot ocols and recommendations for further research, to be tailored and carried out on the 
national and regional levels; 
- development of a multidimensional, multi-level, evidence-based set of tools that can be applied by Member States’ 
national, regional and local administrations. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
Digital technology has lowered the entr y cost to mass media and opened up a tightly regulated market to a whole 
rang e of new players. However , as the business model of traditional media disintegrat es with it, a trend towards 
concentration of ownership can be obser ved. While  the Intern et remains a technological tool for accessing an 
unlimit ed variety of offer - market failures, regulatory shor tcomings and the nature of algor ithmic news distr ibution 
lead to signif icant limitations of media pluralism, whic h is an impor tant precondition for the freedom of information 
and expression. 
Thus, transparency of media ownership is considered a key prerequisite for safeg uarding these freedoms. It elevate s the 
public’s level of media literacy and enables meaningful concentration control and regulator y action. 
The pilot project will: 
- creat e publicly available, searchable databases for up to 6 European countr ies in the respective relevant languages to 
provide prof iles of the most relevant media outlets that shape public opinion, as well as of the corporate entities and 
individuals behind. The methodology of selecting the sam ple, of data research, analysis and presentation should be 
based on an existing one that is well documente d, already tested and implement ed in other parts of the world and 
thus can be considered as a widely accept ed and legitimate instr ument in this field; 
- feature a narrative part to accompan y the database and context ualize the county-specifi c envi ronment in which 
media operates, including a detailed lega l assessment that is based on a widely applied template to allow for 
compar ative global analysis; 
- include the measurement, computati on and publication of up to ten indicators of risks to media pluralism in the 
legal, economic and technical domains, based on a reliable and tested methodology that builds on the already existing 
work of the Media Pluralism Monitor (MPM) in this field; COMMISS ION

Remark s 
To contr ibute to regional development and to increase competitiveness, some Member States have created free zones, 
whic h offer an attractive combination of tax-and-tar iff incentives and streamlined customs procedures and/or reduce 
legislation. Despite free zones existing for years in the Union, there is only very little research on their impact and few 
compr ehensive processes for monit oring and evaluating their performa nce. In addition, free zones are being 
increasing ly used outside the Union, especially in developing countr ies, with the objective to attract foreign direct 
investments. 
In July 2019, the Commission present ed a proposal for a Council decision to meet the OECD recommendation on 
enhancing transparency in free zones. While this proposal is welcome, this pilot project will help the Commission to 
develop an impact assessment of the most relevant free zones in the Member States, such as ‘logistics hubs ’, zones 
specialised in a certain industr y or ‘multi-activity’ free zones (a zone being a mix of the two or specialised in several 
industr ies), to analyse their direct and indirect economic contr ibutions, their social and environmental impa cts as well 
as their suppor t to regional integration and compe titiveness and weight them against an estimat e of the costs of these 
free zones for all Member States. In addition, the project would compar e the use of free zones in the Union with their 
use by third countr y jurisdictions. 
With the overall objective to look at whether the fiscal incentives of these free zones are effective, this study should 
specifically look at the estimates of job creation (and the quality of jobs creat ed) and the impa ct of free zones in term s 
of foreign direct investments for the Member State (e.g. would these investments have been made in the countr y even 
without the free zone?). To the extent possible, the study could also look at the imp act on the risk for existing 
domestic businesses to relocate from the national territory to the free zone and provid e examples if it finds any. To the 
exte nt possible, the project should compare these results with existing literature looking at similar indicator s for zones 
outside the Union. 
In addition, this study should include some reflection on how to develop European guidelines to ensure the social and 
environmental impacts of free zones are in line with the European Green Deal’s objectives. This pilot project will 
develop proposals to ensure fiscal incentives by Member State s are also conditional on a range of social and 
environmental indicators in order to drive existing and poten tial future free zones towards a sustainable development 
impact, for example specialising them into manufact uring activities in renewable energy or innovati ve products 
offering low-cost solutions to meet the Paris Agreement ’s objectives. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
The COVID-19 Union-wide manage ment needs long-t erm suppor t for the implementation of valuable monitor ing of 
social distancing measures. 
In consideration of the way the COVID-19 pandemic affected Member States both as regards the death toll and the 
dramatic impact on their economies, the use of a European-wide geolocation based on the European GNSS system 
Galileo able to act as a point of contact between author ities and citizens could suppor t countr ies to tackle this issue in 
the long term and provide signif icant socio-economic benefi ts. 
The pilot project aims at building an exit and post-CO VID-19 emerg ency strateg ies, cover ing also other poten tial 
pandemics through developing a spread monit oring Union standardised solution with Union-wide coverag e and 
endorsed by Member States author ities. It would integrate national solutions designed for limite d Union areas and 
synch ronise with national ongoing initiatives such as social distancing, mandatory quarantine or shelt er in place. 
The project must be coordinat ed with all Member States to get the specifi city of each of them and it could be endorsed 
by each local or national author ity in its own languag e and integrat ed in its own IT infrastr ucture. 
Civil prote ction and public health author ities at the Member States level and at Union level should be involved in the 
development, in order to define the needs. Those author ities will collect and manag e the anonymised data at Union 
level. COMMISS ION

Virtually all new smar tphones sold in the Union are Galileo-enabled. Galileo will provide one of the most promising 
enhancements to position accuracy with the introduction of ‘dual-frequency to refine position accuracy up to 1 metre 
level and thus be able to perform monitoring of the mov ements of the users and provide more accurate monitori ng 
and statistics to the public author ities. Galileo will be suppor ted by inno vative methodology and technology (e.g. new 
algor ithms and other sensors' data integra tion) using other proximity-indoor technologies such as Bluet ooth, and 
cross chec k telecom operator data. In this way, once all differ ent sources have been combined by means of artificial 
intelligence algor ithms, all these data can be combined together in ’heat maps’ and provide in one sing le reposit ory a 
more complet e view to author ities. 
The features of the pilot project should in particular aim at: 
— sending useful gener ic information and daily update s to users on how to beha ve during the emerg ency ; 
— offer ing users the possibility to interact with author ities and healthcare system s e.g. informing author ities about 
early symp toms or booking tests; 
— sending a poste riori alerts to users who crossed their paths to users who have been later found infected, suppor ting 
thus the smar t isolation and quarantine issued by author ities; 
— creating a heat map with crowd-sour ced location information from all users adequat ely anony mised and marking 
the ‘high risk infection points ’; 
— enabling the author ities to retrieve travel histor ies of the infec ted person and alert all the persons who had contacts 
with them within the contagion risk space and time windo w; 
— sending a preliminar y alert to people entering within 10 metres of a location recently visited by an infected person. 
The functionalities of the pilot project would have an added value for: 
— the cross border and cross-regional cooperation, safeg uarding unint errupted mov ement of citizens and goods and 
avoiding large scale lock -down s (the pilot would involve several Member State s or regions); 
— the scalability and the reliability of the information generated; 
— bette r monitoring and control of the spread of the disease regionally or globally and thus facilitating relat ed 
decisions, e.g. allocating the distr ibution of respirato rs to specific areas, suppor t medical research, preventing cases 
of super spreaders, monitori ng and verifying the digital mobility author izations; 
— access to better statistics and artificial intellig ence models based on the collected data about the spreading of 
correlated symp toms (i.e. not only based on confir med tests). COMMI SSION

Union urban development policy , and internatio nal cooperation on urban policy , is moving forward in areas such as 
smar t cities, waste management and climat e change adaptation. Other areas are much less tested. According ly, this 
pilot project will test international exper ience and examine best practice regarding four sustainable urban 
development themes which are relatively neglected and yet are crucially impor tant for the quality of life in cities inside 
and outside the Union. These are areas in whic h cities across the world, including in less prosperous countr ies, have 
much exper ience to offer Union cities. For example, a fundamentally imp ortant field is the circular economy , where 
Union cities have much to learn from non-U nion cities. Janez Potočnik , former European Commissioner and now 
Co-Chair of the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Resource Panel, has said that ‘transition to 
the circular econom y is not only necessar y, it is unavoidable’. This is theref ore one of the four key areas where there is 
a need to test new practices on the basis of internati onal exper ience, which in turn can point the way for future Union 
urban development programmes under cohesion policy . To ensure the success of this cooperation it is important that 
it involve the stakeho lders inside and outside the Union, notably the researc h community and the private sector .

The outermost regions (ORs) and overseas countr ies and territories (OCT s) are a source of immeasurable cultural 
wealth for the Union. That is demonstrate d in particular by the fact that UNESCO classifie s two ancestral cultural 
practices from those regions –‘malo ya’ from Réunion and ‘gwoka’ from Guadeloupe – as part of the world’s intangible 
cultural heritage . 
The Union’s specific approach to ORs and OCT s should also be the basis for establishing an initiative to safeguard the 
identity and cultural diversity of those regions that primar ily benefits European indigenous peoples such as Guyana’s 
Amer indians. 
Along the lines of the BEST programme for promoting and suppor ting biodiversity and ecosyste m services, the BEST 
Culture pilot project will set up a dedicated mechanis m for ORs and OCT s in order to safeg uard and promote local 
and indig enous culture and provide a vehicle for local kno wledge and popular arts and practices, which act as a 
unifying factor for overseas communities. It will set up a financing mecha nism specifically given over to safeg uarding, 
suppor ting and fostering the indig enous cultural richness of ORs and OCT s, as well as to promoting the territories 
and peoples concer ned, and providing for cultural exchange s, among themselves and across the Union. 
The pilot project addresses all living traditions and expressions inher ited from ancestors and passed on to descendants, 
such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals and festive events, knowledg e and practices concer ning 
nature and the universe, and the kno wledge and kno w-how necessar y for traditional craftsmanship. The pilot project 
exte nds to the entire geographical area of the ORs and OCT s. Any persons or organisations locat ed in that 
geographical area are eligible to take part in the pilot project, provided that the main purpose of their actions is to 
safeg uard and promote the traditional culture of ORs and OCT s. 
Other Union programmes, such as Creative Europe, could compl ement the pilot project’s objective of safeg uarding 
traditional culture and be used, for example, to disseminate cultural knowledg e and practices throughout the Union 
via Union communication netw orks and media. 
By bringing great er prominence to ORs ’ and OCT s’ identity and histor y, whic h also tie in with those of continental 
Europe, the pilot project helps to continue the process of making ORs and OCT s better known. Promoting the local

and would also combat certain prejudices. COMMI SSION

The repor t 'Working for a Brighter Future - Global Commission on the Future of Work' (ILO, 2019) [1] calls for the 
creation of a Universal Labour Guarantee to uphold the fundamental rights of all worke rs, regardl ess of the nature of 
their employment relationship, including a 'living wage', an upper limit on working hours and guarant eed safety and 
health at work. COMMI SSION

The existence of a national minimum wag e, established through collective bargai ning and agreements, is central to the 
establishment of the Universal Labour Guarante e, helping to impro ve workers' conditions, promote societal 
development and overturn policies that, in recent years, have been leading to precar iousness, lower wag es and 
increased inequality . 
In order to promot e national minimum wage schemes more effectively as a tool for economic and social development, 
Eurof ound should examine the different realities in the Member States, as well as the imp act of this instr ument on 
employment rates, workers' qualifications, precar iousness levels, the development of Member States and other factors 
considered relevant. 
The pilot project should be implement ed in such a way that it does not overlap with the existing or ongoing studies 
that will be used for preparation of the impact assessment for the forthcoming initiative on minimum wages. On the 
basis of the information available, the pilot project should bring added value and will compl ement existing work 
under the initiative by, for exam ple, mapping developments in the minimum wage setting institutions. 
[1] The recommendations are intended to strengthen and revitalise labour institutions. From emplo yment regulations 
and contracts to collective bargaining and labour inspection syste ms, these institutions are the cornerstone of just 
societies, paving the way towards formalisation, reducing labour poverty and guarant eeing a future of work with 
dignity , economic secur ity and equality . Under a Universal Labour Guarant ee, the fundamental rights of all workers, 
regar dless of their contractual agreement or emp loyment status, must be respected, ensur ing them 'an adequate living 
wag e' (ILO Constitution, 1919), limits on their working hours and safe and healthy workplaces. Collective agreements 
or laws and regulations may raise the basic level of protection. This proposal also allows for the recognition of 
occupational safety and health as fundamental principles and rights at the workplace.

(iv) a mechani sm for defe nding children’s rights in the online domain; 
(v) options for online access to Union conte nt dedicated to children; and 
(vi) mechanisms to involve children in the decision-making process for the infrastr ucture. 
In carrying out the above tasks, the pilot project involves relevant European and Member State stakeholders in the 
authentication and validation supply chain. 
In particular , the Connecting Europe Facili ty suppor ts the cross-border exchange of eID attributes so that they can be 
used to implement child protection mech anisms (e.g. age verification for access to online conte nt based on the date of

in the wider conte xt of the digital sing le mark et. It facilitates and complements the objectives and actions provid ed for 
in the communication on ‘Tackling online disinf ormation: a European Approach’ and in the action plan on 
disinf ormation. In particular , the pilot project facilitat es the creation of national multidisciplinar y teams, to be made 
up of media practitioners, fact-c heck ers and academic research ers. This compl ements the Connecting Europe Facili ty 
programme, whic h provides infrastr ucture (European Platf orm on Disinf ormation) to foste r cooperation at European 
level between national multidisciplinar y teams . 
The pilot project also complements Commission suppor t for the development of a code of practice. This includes 
enabling fact-c heck ers and academics, while maintaining their independence, to develop traceability , accountability 
and reliable indicator s for source transparency , and to continuously monitor the scale, techniques, tools, nature and 
impact of disinf ormation. Moreover , the pilot project will suppor t the development and testing of emerging 
technologies, including artifici al intelli gence to identify disinf ormation and technologies enabling customi sable online 
exper ience, which could provi de users with tools to identify and repor t disinf ormation. 
The actions suppor ted by the pilot project build on the preparat ory action on Media Literacy for All by compl ementing

Social media have revolu tionised economies and societies. After only 15 years, the benefits of long-distance 
communication at close to zero costs are being enjo yed and a number of new business oppor tunities have emerged in 
man y sector s, ranging from adver tising and mark eting to social sciences. 
Over the last few years, the challeng es that have also been posed have had to be dealt with privacy concer ns, an 
imbalance between digital and non-digital aspects of life, a lack of understanding of how social media work, 
dissemination of illegal or hateful cont ent and, lastly , manipulation of citizen percep tion. COMMISS ION

Manipulation of citizen perception has been the subject of a number of academic studies, whic h have shown that 
tink ering with a social media newsf eed can affect and influence the mood, choices and reactions of individuals. This 
was brought to light even more after the 2016 revelation that Cambr idge Analytica used data collected from 
Faceb ook accounts to attempt to manipulat e voters in the US elections and the Brexit referendum. 
This pilot project builds on the work carried out by the Commission’s Platf orm Obser vator y and fake-news initiatives 
and the European Science and Media Hub of the European Parliament. It monitors , identif ies, studies and eventually 
tack les attempts to manipulat e user percep tion. 
This work focuses on negative message s and how to tackle them and could also develop a pan-European certificat ion 
sche me for anti-hoax initiatives, whic h could facilitat e the Commission’s efforts, as there are a number of fact-c heck er 
and anti-hoax websites operating across the Union but their reliability could sometimes be questioned. A checklist 
leading to certification could be a cost-effe ctive solution for the Union and Member State author ities.

Digital technology has lowered the entr y cost to mass media and opened up a tightly regulated market to a whole 
rang e of new players. As, however , the business model of traditional media is disintegrat ing in the process, a trend 
towards concentration of ownership can be obser ved. While the intern et remains a technological tool for accessing an 
unlimit ed variety of offer ings, market failures, regulatory shor tcomings and the nature of algor ithmic news 
distr ibution lead to signif icant limitations of media pluralism, which is an impor tant precondition for the freedom of 
information and expression. 
Transparency of media ownership is theref ore considered a key prerequisite for safeguarding those freedoms. It elevates 
the general public’s level of media literacy and enables meaningful concentration control and regulatory action. COMMI SSION

The aim of the pilot project is to: 
— creat e publicly available, searchable databases for up to six European countr ies in the relevant language s to provid e 
prof iles of the most relevant media outlets that shape public opinion, as well as of the corporate entities and 
individuals behind them. The methodology selecting the sample, and for data researc h, analysis and presentation, 
will be based on an existing methodology that is well documented , has already been tested and imple mented 
elsewhere in the world and can thus be considered a widely accep ted and legitimate instr ument in this field; 
— feature a narrative part to accompan y the database and context ualise the county-specific environment in which 
media operat e, including a detailed legal assessment based on a widely applied template to allow for comparative 
global analysis; 
— include the measurement, computat ion and publication of up to 10 indicator s of risks to media pluralism in the 
lega l, economic and technical domains, based on a reliable and tested methodology that builds on the existing 
work of the Media Pluralism Monitor in this field; 
— publish and promote findings and the use thereof by means of the online resource itself, but also through 
suppor ting actions, such as launc h events and press confe rences. 
This pilot project will run for two years.

This appropr iation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot 
project. 
The project addresses the failure to communicat e Europe to younger generations of Europeans that is the result of a 
lack of a truly transnational public sphere for media, the fact that traditional media no long er attract young Europeans 
in the same way as the internet does and the fact that national media do not cover pan-European topics positively or in 
a way whic h unites people. Theref ore, the project more effectively portrays the sense of together ness which is at the 
hear t of European identity and which is reflected in a common culture, similar lifes tyles and shared values. COMMISS ION

The younger generations of Europeans consume information and entertainment primar ily online using new social 
media and conte nt-shar ing platf orms. Theref ore, it must be made clear that young Europeans get their information 
online. In order to enter into a dialogue about Europe via relevant themes and topi cs, attract younger European 
citizens to European ideas and values and empower truly European citizens through current and future information 
and dialogue platf orms, the pilot project will take a radically new approach to providing news and information to 
young people. 
The pilot project is based on new concepts of editori al thinking, a new multiplatf orm strateg y and a highly innovative 
and flexible technical infrastr ucture that allows fast adapta tion, translation and convers ion of content in man y 
languag es and formats across Europe, creating a highly innovati ve, digital product that intenti onally stands out from 
traditional media. 
The project is target ed at Europeans aged between 18 and 34 , i.e. at a time of life when man y young people are 
developing their political views and laying the foundations for their profe ssional and private lives. The focus is on 
informative, thought-prov oking, entertaining and emotive conte nt. All content will be bundled on one specifi c online 
service. Further more, it is made accessible on all kinds of social media as well as other online gatewa ys through whic h 
the targe t group can be reac hed. 
The cont ent deals with topics that are of current interest for young Europeans in the Union and will be put into 
cont ext in order to mak e it compelling and appealing to the target group. The European perspective is created by 
comparing and contrasting regional exper iences and points of view on matters of pan-European imp ortance. Young 
Europeans share an interest in issues such as work, education, equality , love, culture and music. Never theless, there are 
significant differ ences between countr ies and between urban and rural areas. The aim is to address relevant topi cs of 
pan-European importance and at the same time provide a forum for local perspectives, allowing young users to 
identify strong ly with the conte nt. 
Contro versial opinions provid e an impetus for debate. On political issues, a personal approach makes it easier to 
understand the effects of institutional decisions. In this conte xt, well-known influencers and local personalities from 
social networks will have their say in addition to actors from the political sphere in order to bridge the gap between 
European affairs and the ever yday reality of users’ lives. 
This ambitious pan-European and multilingual project launc hes offline and online an open, true, deep and 
constr uctive debate about recent and future life in Europe among young Europeans, using innovati ve formats on 
digital platf orms, with the ultimate goal of creating greater awareness about European visions and realities and 
enhancing Europeans’ commitment to European values and ideas so that they subsequently contr ibute to a more 
active civil society . 
The project builds on a strong partnership of independent and inno vative media across Europe, including the start-up 
and creative sector. The project also benefi ts from substantial investment in researc h and innovation, e.g. in automat ed 
translation in the media sector . COMMI SSION

Remark s 
The fight against doping in spor t is essential to safeguard the integr ity of spor t and its values of fair play, respect and 
solidar ity. It also promote s a health y lifestyle and well-being for all citizens. But figh ting doping is increasing ly 
challenging. Today, to unvei l cheats, the anti-doping system relies on more sophisticat ed tools than just conducting 
’blood and urine-test ing’. Nowada ys, most of the doping infringements can be detected though investig ations. The 
anti-doping system is thus confronted with a need to have the capacity to conduct inve stigations, to collaborate with 
law enforcement agencies and to protect whistleblowers. 
The reality is, however , that an insuffic ient number of anti-doping organisations (ADOs), operating in too few 
countr ies, meet those conditions and this compromises the emerge nce of the strongest possible anti-doping system 
worldwide. The situation is critical and deser ves the implementation of a specifi c strategy that includes close 
collaboration with the law enforcement agencies in all European countr ies. 
Consider ing that law enforcement and govern ment agencies possess investig ative powers to attack source and supply 
of illegal substances, which in man y cases uncov er evidence of anti-doping rule violations, the core of the pilot project 
is to develop protocols for the European ADOs to ensure evidence gather ing and information shar ing between them 
and the law enforcement. Further more, this approach requires a broad implementation of the project. It should not be 
limite d to a few Member States, but rather aimed at covering all the European countr ies, including third countr ies, to 
allow for a sufficient harmonisation of the investigative standards in the region and to avoid weakening its efficiency 
by leav ing too man y stakeholders outside of the harmonised system. 
As a result, this pilot project will go much beyond spor t and require cross-sect oral cooperation and signif icant 
investments, estimated at around EUR 1.5 million. 
Taking the abov ementioned into account, this pilot project cannot be funded by the existing programmes, such as the 
Erasmus+ programme. 
The goals of the pilot project are as follows: 
— to develop a set of compl ementar y measures and activities that would address the issues mentioned abov e and that 
would be concretely beneficial to a maximum number of European ADOs and more globally to the anti-doping 
system; 
— to allow for ADOs to partner with the World Anti-Doping Agen cy (WADA) to conduct inve stigations, prot ect 
whistleblowers and to cooperate on joint investigations with law enforcement agencies and the global netw ork of 
inve stigat ors; 
— to build capacity of the European anti-doping system, reduce the prevalence of doping in spor t and maximise the 
health benefits generat ed by the practice of clean spor t by the European youth. COMMISS ION

The pilot project would be built on the follo wing four pillars: 
1. assistance to develop a robust legislative framewor k allowing for the shar ing of information between ADOs, law 
enforcement agencies and WADA and for the prote ction of whistleblower s; 
2. assistance to develop the best mechanis m (forums, conferences or online platf orms) for shar ing information on 
legislation and best practices, on inve stigations, and on the prote ction of whistleblower s; 
3. assistance to build capacity of ADOs in inve stigations through the provision of training sessions to emplo yees or 
through the hiring of exper ts; and, 
4. assistance to allow ADOs to contr ibute to the global netw orks of investig ators. 
The project will contr ibute in man y ways to the objectives of the Union, including by: 
— prote cting public health – doping is not just a problem affecting elite athlet es and spor t; but also, a threat to the 
society as a whole; especially youth. Research can attest a growth in the use of steroids and other prohibit ed 
substances by amate ur athlet es and youth to look and perform better. 
— provid ing new tools to combat the organised crime – selling doping substances is a ‘low risk – highly profitable 
activity’. Research demonstrate the involvement of organised crime in the manufa ctur ing and trafficking of doping 
substance in spor ts along other illicit substances. Shar ing of information between ADOs and law enforcement 
ADOs will help optimising the fight against manufactur ing and trafficking in doping substances. 
— imp roving spor ts governance in and outside Europe - this project will contr ibute to strengthening the govern ance 
of spor t organisations and to share Union values with other partners through the involvement of third countr ies 
in the implementation of the project. 
Further more, this project will help mitig ate the impa ct of the COVID-19 pandemic on the anti-doping sector. The 
increase in expenditure on key branche s of national economies due to the pandemic will result in a halt to the 
development of man y ADOs. The project will allow for a partial restoration of their capacity . It will help ADOs 
increase their activities, including the economic ones and compensat e a part of the pote ntial diminution of 
government contr ibution to ADOs mov ing forward.

Remark s 
The current pandemic is not only a situation of unprecedented hazard for the life and wellbeing of Union citizens. It is 
also a major challenge for the fragile web of trust that connect the citizens with their states and the Union. The 
proposed obser vatory will examine the shift in narratives towards Europe and the nation state during and following 
the COVID-19 pandemic, provi ding basic recommendations for effective communication and to prot ect against 
disinf ormation campa igns. 
The availability and quality of information is crucial to effective functioning of society , especially in a time of crisis. A 
lot of false information regar ding COVID-19 is currently spreading in societies, especially via social media. One of the 
main strateg ies for fighting fake news is debunking, a strateg y of confronting them with facts and accept ed theor ies. 
Unfortunately , existing debunking strateg ies have proven very ineff ective, especially as they do not work with 
individuals that have a strong belief in false information. 
Research shows that Twitt er, YouT ube, Facebook and other influential social media provid e a crucial boost for the 
international netw ork of disinf ormation (Smith and Graham 2019). Feeding on fear and chaos, spreading fake news 
and misinterpr eting the data, these agents are strong er than ever (Fernández-Luq ue and Bau 2015). However , social 
media provi de not only a new set of tools for spreading disinf ormation but also a great weapon against it. 
Recent research demonstrates the important role of narratives in framing facts and information in a packag e that can 
be easily transmitt ed across society and how studying narratives can be the key to bette r understanding how ideas 
spread across social media and why certain ideas take hold over others. The use of this methodology in understanding 
the flow of information during the COVID-19 outbreak could be vital in find ing a differ ent way to inform society and 
to keep disinf ormation and misinf ormation at bay. 
The pilot project will create a European Obser vatory on Narrative Distr ibution to monitor and analyse how new 
narratives are creat ed and spread within European public discourse, decipher the emotional values that guide 
successful narratives, map sources and key actors active in the spreading of these narratives and develop 
recommendations for effective communication and policy . 
Building on the work developed for the Commission-funded study on ‘Mec hanisms that Shape Social Media and their 
Impact on Society’ the project developed by Re-Imagine Europa and the Cent er for Systemic Risk Research at the 
University of Warsaw , the Obser vatory would identify the dominant narratives by combining Natural Language 
Processing and more traditional methods of qualitative narratology . Using advanced algor ithms and analysing the 
most qualitatively representative examp les, it would establish dominant narrative patter ns and answer questions such 
as: ‘How is the ongoing crisis influencing the dominant models, metaphors and narratives shaping our percep tion of 
identity and community?’, ‘Are European values at risk in an increasing polar ised and weaponised information 
ecosyste m?’, ‘How are exte rnal actors manipulating European public discourse to sow discord and fracture society?’ , 
‘What are the values and narratives that unite and separate us?’ and ‘How are our different value syste ms and 
exper iences shaping the development of a European identity?’ 
Remember ing the words of Ludwig Wittgenst ein: ‘the world we see is defined and given meaning by the words we 
choose. In shor t, the world is what we make of it.’ COMMISS ION

I. Context 
The COVID-19 crisis is extremely challenging not only for inter -state relations, but also for relations between 
neighbour ing territories divided by national borders. It has generated deep pressure on cross-border regions whic h 
represent 40 % of the territory of the Union, and also on cross-border worke rs who represent 2 million people. 
At the same time, the crisis revealed a lack of cooperation and coordination across borders as well as strong 
interdependencies of border areas seen as functional areas. One decision on one side of the border has had a direct 
impact on the other side of the border . 
At the beginning of 2020, the crisis first prov oked uncoordinated border closures, as well as several uncooperative 
actions by both public and private actors. While some Member States decided to close entirely their borders, others 
drastically reduced the number of border -crossing points in order to slow down the spread of COVID-19. Although 
the free mov ement of people and goods is a cornerstone of the sing le market, the COVID-19 crisis has hindered the 
application of this key principle. Border bans or controls put cross-border work ers, primar ily in the health sector, but 
also in the field of constr uction, agriculture or transpor t in an alarming situation. Border shutdo wns have had a 
strong nega tive impact on cross-border citizens, the local economy , businesses, the transpor t of essential goods and 
cross-border public services (education, healthcare). In some city regions or even States like Luxembourg, where the 
health system is heavily dependent on cross-border workers, the interr uption of cross-border public transpor t 
connections creat ed compl icated situations. The situation has also had an impact on trust between partners across the 
borders whic h has been built over the years, and which is essential for cross-border cooperation. COMMI SSION

Despit e many years of institutionalised (Inte rreg) and informal cooperation between border regions, the existing 
relations did not alwa ys allow an efficient and quic k response to cope with the outbreak of such a crisis. Existing 
cross-border structures such as the European Grouping for Territorial Cooperation were rarely involved in the 
elaboration or in the implementation of emerg ency measures despit e their knowle dge on the functioning of 
administrative and political organisation on both sides of the borders. 
Nonetheless, the COVID-19 crisis has also allowed the development of new forms and initiatives of cross-border 
cooperation, regar ding particularly the healthcare sector . Several neighbour ing regions to Grand Est (FR) 
demonstrate d solidar ity by welcoming hundreds of patients in their intensive care units and covering hospital transfe r 
costs. In the cross-border conurbation of Gor izia (IT)-Nova Gor ica (SI), although border controls were restored, the 
mayors of these two cities continued collaborating and exchanging on this common emerg ency . Thanks to daily 
updat es from the Mayor of Gor izia, Nova Gor ica was theref ore able to bette r anticipate the situation and to adopt 
faster measures to keep the number of people infect ed in Nova Gor ica lowe r than in the rest of Slovenia. The cross- 
border Cerdany a hospital (ES-FR) positively benefitted from its double belonging to two differ ent healthcare systems, 
allowing a sound supply of mask s and medicines and the reinf orcement of cooperation with larger hospitals on both 
sides of the border (Barcelona and Perpi gnan), where intensi ve care units are available. Around Geneva, a new vignett e 
for cross-border healthcare workers and dedicate d traff ic lanes were conceived in order to speed border crossing for 
these essential worke rs. These new forms of cooperation revealed the creativity and ability to reinf orce cross-border 
cooperation. 
Cross-border territories are unique laborat ories of territorial cohesion and European policies. The exper ience of border 
regions during the unfolding COVID-19 crisis has illustrated a strong need for new solutions to empo wer cross-border 
territories in managing such emerg encies. At the same time, this crisis is an oppor tunity to promot e a new model of 
‘co-development’ for integrat ed cross-border regions, by improving existing multilevel governance tools and by 
strengthening and establishing new cross-border public services. 
II. Objectives 
The overall objective of this pilot project is to imp rove the life of citizens in border regions by suppor ting more 
integrated and functional cross-border areas. Border regions are a very strong and visible example of the immediate 
effects of the COVID-19 crisis. Re-establishing border controls has ham pered a whole eco-system. Theref ore, based on 
a thorough analysis of the exper ience of border regions during the COVID-19 outbreak, this pilot project aims at 
helping border regions to better face future crises and to promot e a new model of elaborating public policies, 
including public services, in border regions based on co-development and through impro ved multilevel govern ance. 
The pilot project combines theref ore a shor t-term and a mid-te rm approac h to provid e practitioners and decision- 
mak ers with concrete tools and methodology that can be directly translate d into reality , tangible for citizens, and 
applicable to all European borders.

This assessment will give a compr ehensive picture of the reaction and non-reaction to the crisis in border regions and 
their consequences. This implies gatheri ng evidence and concrete examp les on the difficulties faced by the border 
regions during the crisis, on the impact on differ ent sectors and on cooperation initiatives emerging from the crisis. It 
should also analyse the role of existing cross-border structures in the managemen t of the crisis. This assessment will 
mak e the Union able to objectively measure the costs of non-cooperation. Through collecting practical and statistical 
evidence (cross-border functional urban areas, etc.), the analysis should also point out the strong interdependence of 
border territories, and should reveal that an uncoordinated measure on one side of the border has an impa ct on the 
other side of the border . Finally , it should point out the double nature of borders: boundar ies of sove reign States 
guarant eeing the secur ity of their own citizens; and local areas where people live. This requires the establishment of 
sound multilevel govern ance of the border , involving local actor s. 
2. A platf orm mapping out cross-border public services, obstacles and solutions to cross-border cooperation. 
The platf orm should have a strong operational aspect by collecting information on public services in different sectors 
in border regions (health sector , judicial sector, econom y, etc.). This would help in identifying the gaps, the needs and 
the existing structures to facilitat e bette r integration of border regions. This platf orm should build on the work already 
carried out on cross-border public services, more specifi cally on cross-border public services operating in the field of 
civil prot ection and disaste r manage ment. Taking the health sector as an example, the platf orm may also gather 
information about the capacity of existing public services in the health sector , mapping key contacts over the borders 
and provi ding data on hospitals. Moreover , this online platf orm will provid e an overview of obstacles and existing 
solutions to cross-border cooperation in different domains. It should build on the exper ience gathered during the 
implementation of other initiatives such as the b-solutions project. The conditions to secure the updating of the 
platf orm, on the basis of a European network, should be defined. 
3. An action plan to ease and to systematise solidar ity across neighbour ing regions. 
Through this mech anism, border regions should be better equipped to react swif tly to differ ent types of crisis 
(pandemic, environmental, secur ity, natural disaste rs, migration, terrorist attacks, etc.) impacting borders and 
requir ing the coordinat ed action of national and local author ities. 
Based on the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 crisis, and from existing cross-border mech anisms, Interr eg projects, 
dealing with civil protection, a protocol model should be developed in case of a crisis to ensure the free move ment of 
cross-border worke rs and essential goods, social prote ction, harmonised communication, etc. This protocol of actions 
involving national and local author ities should guide, step by step, decision makers’ actions. The protocol should 
integrate the development of new tools such as a ‘laissez-passer ’ for frontier work ers that would be mutually 
recognised by neighbour ing regions. 
4. Boosting the potential of border regions through co-development, cross-border spatial planning and multilevel 
governance. 
The COVID-19 outbreak has shown that often the socio-economic cross-border inter dependence is not tackle d by 
means of systematic and coherent cooperation between public author ities across the border . Thus, the management of 
cross-border regions requires multilevel govern ance, as these regions are deeply interlink ed and they share joint 
interests. The co-development approach should guide the elaboration of cooperative public policies including COMMI SSION

education, etc.), including a sustainable syste m for funding cross-border investment and manage ment. This should 
include issues such as the social and fiscal status of cross-border working (including telew orking, etc.), that has proved 
essential during the crisis. This implies strong and permanent dialogue between policy make rs from diffe rent levels of 
governance, with the involvement of cross-border institutions. Nowada ys, there are many political structures on 
border regions which encourage political dialogue. However , the COVID-19 outbreak has shown that existing 
structures had difficulties to react swif tly. Parado xically , border regions that were the most integrat ed had difficulties 
to coordinat e a joint response. The natural reaction of these regions was to close borders while an efficient response 
would have been co-ordination. Based on the example of the French-Ge rman ‘Cross-border Cooperation Committ ee’, 
creat ed by the Aachen Treaty , a similar political platf orm could be replicate d at all Union borders and could have three 
tasks: 
1. producing evidence of cross-border integration and flows, analysing the role of joint inve stment and of cross-border 
public services. 
2. working on the resolution of legal and administrative obstacles to cooperation through different mech anisms 
(bilat eral agreements, the European Cross-Border Mecha nism (ECBM), conventions, etc.) involving local and national 
author ities as well. 
3. joint development of a common strateg y for priority projects including public services. This political platf orm 
should reflect and act in a wide range of sectors that are essential for the development of both sides of the borders. 
In the light of the COVID-19 crisis, such political platf orms should also be in charge of a coordinated plan for cross-

Worldwide academic evidence shows that loneliness, the absence of suppor t netw orks or communicative skills have 
health (physical and mental) and social consequences on an individual level, as well as an economic impact on the 
working capacity of people and on the inter connectedness of society . Loneliness has many symp toms (e.g. depression) 
whic h sometimes get medical treatment, while the root causes of the problem remain unsolved. The effect of 
loneliness has been show cased on a large scale during the COVID-19 crisis, proving the negat ive effects of isolation on 
social cohesion and mental health. The imp act of loneliness and the COVID-19 will have a major impact on 
European’s demography , not only in term s of health and social connectedness, but also on the economy by way of 
productivity . COMMISS ION

In a fast mov ing and changing world, with frequently more virtual than physical contact, especially during times of 
confinement, self-isolation or quarantine, with ageing and culturally diverse populations and with complex demands 
on the skills of workers, an increasing number of people feel left behind. The individuality of society erodes into 
isolation and culminates in loneliness. In the few countr ies, where loneliness studies have been carried out before the 
COVID-19 crisis, about 80% of the population states they feel lonely occasionally and a consistent 10-13% feel lonely 
permanently . Not only the elderly but especially the young population is deeply affected, with peaking numbers at the 
young adolescent age. At this moment, the few existing studies use different criteria, varying age groups and 
definitions. On the Union level several small-scale initiatives have taken place: 
The policy brief on ‘Loneliness – an unequally shared burden in Europe’, presenting evidence and data on the subject. 
The project ‘VulnerABLE’ aimed at better understanding of how best to impro ve the health of people living in 
vulnerable and isolat ed situations, identify and recommend evidence-based policy strateg ies, and raise aware ness of 
the findings and suppor t capacity-building within Member States. 
A peer review with the participation of several Member State s focusing on projects, measures and strategies for 
tack ling social isolation, loneliness and social excl usion in older age took place in German y in September 2019. 
The European Quality of Life Survey, provid ing information on loneliness, amongst others the upcoming repor t on 
‘Living, working and COVID-19’ . 
While these activities provide for differ ent and partial perspectives to loneliness, it is evident that a compr ehensive 
study using compar able data is needed to gain more a compl ete insight in order to provid e for effective and 
sustainable solutions with the involvement of stake holders. The study should thus provid e new added value, while 
avoiding duplications. 
Loneliness and its lasting effect on social excl usion and mental health issues occurs in ever y age and gender group. In 
most countr ies loneliness hits men harder , yet the data is sparse. Apparently , the East- West and Nor th-South divide 
also reflects in the gender dispar ities, with mostly women repor ting loneliness in the East, while more men seem to 
suffer loneliness in Western Europe. 
Some Member States have started an active policy to combat loneliness on national, regional or local level. Many 
initiatives have been launc hed by charity or phone projects, developers of housing of mixed age groups, living room 
meet ups for elderly people. Ireland, for example, has a national plan on tackli ng loneliness amongst senior citizens. 
Yet, a European approach is missing and the dispar ities between Member States are significant. A European 
perspective as well as a Union-wide netw ork and data are crucial to understand loneliness and its impact on the social 
excl usion and mental health of the population to then be able to counte ract and find tangible solutions together with 
the regional and local level. COMMI SSION

The pilot project 
This pilot project aims to study and compare current national and regional loneliness policies, to gather 
compr ehensive and comparable Union-wide data, to analyse the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and to coherently 
provide best practices and recommendations to combat the social excl usion and mental health issues relat ed to 
loneliness. 
The pilot project is divided into four phases: 
(1) The first phase will be taking stock of loneliness studies and initiatives on local, regional, national and internatio nal 
level, be it private or public. These initiatives will be subject to analysis as to what extent and in which specif ic areas 
they are suitable to help to alleviate or prevent loneliness. An integral part of this first phase would be to conduct a 
compr ehensive Union-wide study on the impacts of loneliness based on existing and newly gathered data, including 
the (lasting) impact of COVID-19, disaggregat ed by gender differences and reflecting regional dispar ities. 
(2) The second phase will bring all the initiatives together in an easily accessible and user -friendly platf orm, to directly 
suppor t stak eholders and afflicted persons and to provide information on road maps to alleviate loneliness. 
(3) The third phase will (virtually) bring together actor s and stakeholders dealing with the topic of loneliness 
("patients", organisati ons, unions, charity and volunt eer organisati ons, policy makers, societal inno vators). A summit 
will provide the oppor tunity to discuss aspects, root causes and symp toms of loneliness and its impact on social 
excl usion and mental health, diffe rent phases and prof iles of loneliness (age groups, gender , cultural backg round, 
location, etc.) to define where and when loneliness starts as well as to debate the role of social media and digitalisation 
(online hate speec h impact on mental health, etc). 
(4) The fourth phase will be a follow-up at Union level and will comprise the presentation of best practices and 
recommendations to combat the social excl usion and mental health issues related to loneliness, based upon the 
outcome of the former phases. A clear outline will be present ed on focus groups and the most effective measures, on 
shor t- and long-ter m goals, as well as an overview of stak eholder groups.

There are now more than 2,5 billion gamers across the world that will spend USD 152.1 billion on games in 2019. 
These numbers grow year on year at rates close to 10%. In Europe, 54 % of the Union’s population play video gam es, 
whic h equals some 250 million players in the Union and their average playtime per week is 8,7 hours. 
Games are not only an increasing economic and cultural powerhouse, but also the new social medium where people 
get together for any excuse. To learn, to connect, to express themselves, to share knowledg e and exper ience, and even 
to engag e in new work or economic activities. 
Spor ts are exploding and beginning to compet e with traditional spor ts events. In 2019, more than 100 million people 
watch ed the 'League of Legends ' World Championship, cementing not only its place as the most popular e-spor t but as 
one of the most popular cultural events in the world. 
Another example of the power of gam ing is Roblo x, an inter active blocky world that enables young programmers to 
mak e a living creating and shar ing games in a community of over 120 million players. It announced that its seventh 
annual Bloxy Awards ceremony staged inside Roblo x’s game world drew more than 4 million concur rent players 
during the peak of the show , and raised USD 100 000 for non-profi t organisations. 
Just obser ving the facts and looking at the big impact video games are already having on current generations, it seems 
quite urgent for our governments and policy-makers to gain a bette r understanding of it, and to learn how could 
Europe play a smar ter and more active role not only in its use but also in its creation. 
Measures and outcomes 
This pilot project will creat e an inter disciplinar y European netw ork of exper ts, thinke rs and leaders willing to share 
their vision about the value and poten tial of gaming in the future of our society , our culture and our economy . 
The network will hold a series of exchange meetings with stake holders of key sector s and influence groups in areas like 
politics, finance, law, education, culture, science and health, looking to shape a European agenda for gam es. 
In order to preser ve the full independence of all the discussions and conclusions, it is impor tant that the netw ork stay 
from the beginning out of the influence of entities and lobbies driven by commercial or economic interests. This 
means that members will participate at a personal level and not representing a particular compan y or organisation. 
Obser vations and conclusions of all these meetings will lead to shareable repor ts that will point out strategic areas of 
collaboration between the gam es industr y and the public sector, particularly at European level, in order to promote 
the understanding of the oppor tunities and challenges ahead for the European video game sector . COMMI SSION

Remark s 
In order to achieve Union's core values on promoting gender equality as well as to implement the Gender Equality 
Strateg y (GES) published by the Commission on 5 March 2020, it is essential that a gender budget impact assessment 
is conduct ed to measure the impact of the new Union’s multi-annual financial framework (MFF). Although the Gender 
Equality Strategy reaff irms the Union’s commitment to gender budgeti ng and the Commission willingness to ‘look at 
the gender impa ct of its activities and at how to measure expenditure relat ed to gender equality at programme level in 
the 2021-2027 MFF’ , it does not include concrete budget ed measures to conduct a gender budget impact assessment. 
Such an assessment is necessar y to assess the impact of budget proposals on gender inequalities and the fulfilment of 
girls' and women's rights. 
Union institutions have identif ied gender budgeti ng as a need to achieve gender equality , and tools have been made 
available on how the Union could conduct gender budgeti ng (e.g guide to gender budgeting produced in 2016 by the 
European Institute for Gender Equality). However , the Union has not under taken an actual gender budgeting exercise 
of its upcoming or current framework. A compreh ensive gender impact assessment is a critical step for the 
implementation of a gender budgeting approach and must be conducted at the outset of the new MFF . 
In light of the COVID-19 public health crisis, it is crucial that the Commission assesses how women and girls have 
been and will continue to be affected by the crisis, and ensures that the new MFF addresses their specific needs, 
especially with regard to their access to health, but also to social protection, education and economic oppor tunities. 
This pilot project theref ore proposes the followi ng actions to be taken: 
- identif ication of gender - and age-disaggregat ed data needed to measure the impact of Union policies and programmes 
on women and girls; 
- collection of such disaggreg ated data when knowledg e gaps exist ; 
- carrying out of the actual gender budget impact assessment ; 
- based on the gender budge t impact assessment, identif ication of programmes whic h could be gender -transf ormative 
or on the contrar y could indirectly strengthen gender inequalities; 
- adaptation of the new MFF programmes to ensure that they are gender -transf ormative; 
- setting up of initial grounds for an ex-post evaluation of the MFF programmes impact on gender equality in 2027. COMMISS ION

Remark s 
Initial situation: 
According to the 2016 FRA Minor ities and Discr imination Survey, 80 % of Roma are at-risk-of-pover ty (86% in 
Bulg aria, 58% in Czec hia, 70% in Romania, 87% in Slovakia). This rate is much higher than the overall Union pover ty 
rate of 24% (40% in Bulgar ia, 13% in Czec hia, 39% in Romania, 18% in Slovakia). Pover ty is particularly high among 
Roma living in marginalised communities, notably in Slovakia, Bulg aria, Romania, Hung ary and Czec hia. 
Further more, Roma rank among those who are the most affected by long-ter m pover ty and inter-generational 
reproduction of poverty. 
Figures from the 2011 joint study by the World Bank , United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the 
Commission showed that one-third of Roma children go to bed hungr y at least once a month because there is not 
enough food. Exper iences of depr ivation in the early years of childhood signif icantly influence people ’s later life 
chances and trajector ies. 
Being poor is not just about a lack of income and mate rial assets, it also implies being disadvantag ed in man y other 
ways. Materi al poverty is often coupled with exper iencing disadvantage in (or being excluded from) access to 
education, emplo yment, healthcare, social care, and housing, as well as impor tantly , social relations and networks. 
Moreo ver, there is a strong interdependence of pover ty with spatial segregati on, which further restrains access to such 
mat erial, skills and social assets. It narrows the chances for secure livelihoods and thus leads to absolute poverty and 
social excl usion. 
Percep tions implying that the individual is responsible for being poor and that Roma poverty is an issue of ethnicity or 
ethnic minor ity fail to recognise that poverty is a compl ex multidimensional phenomenon resulting from numerous 
factors. Many of these lie outside one’s personal control, and are indeed linked to broader transf ormations in social 
policy and governance regimes. It is howe ver clear that persons excl uded from the labour mark et are the most 
threate ned by poverty. 
Social prote ction policies instituted under the new political regimes in Central and Easte rn Europe countr ies, whic h to 
a large extent rely on the means-t ested assessment and payment of welfa re benefits, have so far not been effective in 
getting the long-t erm poor , including Roma, out of poverty. State suppor t comes in a form of social benefi ts, which 
serve to cover basic life needs, childcare, and housing or to suppor t work activation. However , there are signif icant 
limitations of system design, when it comes to both preser ving dignity and allowing for access to a wider rang e of 
assets, and provid ing tailored suppor t and incentives for people to effectively climb out of the poverty conditions and 
lifestyles. COMMI SSION

This decreases the effectiveness of help and over time translate s into the followi ng more visible symp toms : 
- Socially excl uded communities frequently settle on vacant sites, owned by the state , municipalities and more rarely 
on private land, whic h are unsuitable for residential use or are too remot e from the urban web. This has direct 
implications on both the quality of housing conditions and access to viable emplo yment oppor tunities. Most Roma 
and vulnerable people are engag ed in primar ily temporar y, precar ious and unofficial work. 
- In addition to income from seasonal emplo yment and often unregistered labour activities, man y Roma households 
rely on means-tes ted welf are benefits provi ded to large families and citizens of no financia l means. Because of poor 
economic and living conditions and lack of financia l literacy , Roma frequently spend their income from work and 
welf are benefi ts in the first days of the month and are then not able to provide for their basic needs during the rest of 
the month. 
- Living in prolonged scarcity also has important psychological effects, and sometimes engenders dependencies and 
addictions that enhance precar ity and the inability to make effective decisions or plan for the long term (or even the 
full month ahead). 
- Most Roma households lack access to financial services, have low levels of savings and limited kno wledge of effective 
household finance. Consequently , Roma often become indebted and fall victims of usur y, whic h drags them in to a 
vicious circle of worsening pover ty. 
Efforts to promot e Roma inclusion without ensur ing a welfa re benefi ts distr ibution system that is ‘fit for purpose’, and 
without the availability of financial services, will overlook a major barrier that can be addressed relatively effectively . 
There is at present an acute need for further adjustment and piloting exper imentation models for welf are benefits 
redistr ibution and effective suppor t to answer the needs of vulnerable people in a multi-dimensional way. Star ting 
from a whole-person approach and rolling out into the differ ent areas of life. 
The pilot seeks to overcome concep tions of poverty as transito ry or individualised phenomenon alone, attribut ed to a 
person or group’s own failings. It starts from seeing pover ty and marginality also as societal phenomena to be 
addressed from a systems-level perspective and from an intent for preser ving the dignity of those being helped. This 
also includes the assump tion that the poor are often in the best place to decide what to spend their resources on 
(whic h is suppor ted by economic research and longitudinal data), but also that they should be suppor ted and 
empowered in a number of additional ways. 
Further more, the current corona virus crisis spells an impor tant turning point, revealing the dang er of responses that 
expose or produce divides in society between those who are prote cted and those who are not. It promp ts to look at 
new universal solutions with broader and more compreh ensive coverage- both in mitig ating the consequences of the 
crisis and in planning for the changing econom y and world of work in the aftermath and long er term. 
There is need for exper imenting with innovati ve financial and policy instr uments which to pave further for the more

- Suppor t empower ment, notably through strateg ies of entrepreneurship and restored sense of dignity and agency , for 
bridging social isolation stemming from long-t erm poverty 
Using financial inclusion to give Roma access to the basic and vital services is as impor tant a compo nent of Roma 
inclusion as emplo yment, housing, health or education. Households that can access and understand basic financia l 
services and handle a savings account are likely to use social benefi ts more productively . 
Policymaker s in cooperation with project manag ement can link financial inclusion and personal+ business 
development suppor t with human development outcomes. 
The pilot project : 
The aim of this pilot project is, while respecting compet encies and responsibilities of Member States in defining and 
organising their social prote ction system s, including the way in whic h benefits are distr ibut ed, to test an alternati ve 
deliver y mech anism of welf are benefits, paid weekly under E-pa y cards, combined with continuous empower ment 
through entrepreneurship and self-development coac hing work and financia l literacy trainings. 
The BIG scheme is envisioned as the combination of existing welfare benefi ts , with a scaled incentive packag e, which 
could allow additional transfer s for individuals taking initiative in their personal and community or social life. It will 
be combined with measures, which help build the capacity of individuals to (re)integrat e the labour mark et. This could 
serve as steps of a ladder allowing individuals and families to restore their agency and progressively climb out of 
poverty circles. 
The pilot project will directly suppor t policy exper imentation through testing an alternati ve approach to 
understanding and addressing poverty: 
- Secur ity – living with a mind-set of scarcity and depr ivation puts psychological pressure and constr icts the mental 
bandwidth of persons living in depr ivation, thereby preventing them from planning for the long-term or making 
better decisions in the now . This calls for exper imentation with reducing conditional transfers in order to give a sense 
of secur ity, plus additional transfe rs to stimulate personal initiative and suppor t people in becoming actors in their 
lives. 
- Expanded rang e of assets – emphasising poverty as more than a distr ibutional (cash-poor) or mater ial issue, seeing 
the relation to social isolation and access to a spectr um of ‘assets’ (materi al, skills, social and citizenship) to enable 
households to pursue new and more viable livelihood strateg ies. 
- ‘Human ventur ing’– investing in people as an alternative approach to benefit provi sioning, essentially serving as

In relation to the second, it will help recipients of social benefits, especially vulnerable and socially excluded 
communities, to sustain differ ent livelihood strategies in order to get out of the vicious circle of pover ty and 
indebt edness. It will also create the conditions for economic development and for impro ving the standards of living of 
the poorest. 
Inno vative financial instr uments would be used to suppor t the financing of the expanded benefits provision, through 
the combination of public and private (notably philanthropic) resources for better social outcomes. 
This pilot project is part of the Union’s efforts to: 
suppor t social inno vation and new , holistic approaches to social service provision, the emp ower ment of disadvantage d 
groups and deliver ing transf ormative solutions to key social challenges , in particular Roma inclusion. 
stimulate cross-sect oral collaborations and social impact partnerships (public-pr ivate and civic engagement) as a new 
avenue for public value creation. 
pioneer the use of new financial instr uments and blended suppor t (financial instr uments, grant and capacity building) 
for projects with high social external ities. 
in the longer term , suppor t the development of the social inve stment market and social impa ct inter ventions, through 
the testing or refinement of models which could be scaled up across Europe. 
Activities: 
The pilot project would explore how inno vative, impact-or iented approaches could allow to impro ve the effectiveness 
of social policies currently based on the payment of means-test ed welf are benefi ts by shifting towards a system based 
on smar t activisation. This approach would also reduce the administrative costs associated with the current deliver y 
syste m of social benefits to marginalised Roma communities; and increase public spending efficiency in the long run. 
This pilot project would test and develop innovative solutions, under a multi-countr y, pan-European approac h, which 
could be further replicate d and scaled to deliver improved sustainable outcomes and societal well-being in the Union. 
The pilot project would include the followi ng elements: 
An enhanced deliver y mech anism of welfare benefits, to be implement ed in several Member States with large 
concentration of Roma; 500 recipients per Member State. 
- Concer ning existing welf are benefits 
- paid to each individual (on a weekly basis): each man and each woman would receive welf are benefits, paid directly to 
them and not to a ‘household head’. Paying individually is a vital feminist principle, whic h has been systema tically 
abused in all social secur ity system s over the past centur y. COMMISS ION

Remark s 
Media (re)presentation and visibility of vulnerable groups like migrants and refug ees remains very marginal in the 
mainstream media across Europe. Migration and refug ee movements are global issues, the impact of whic h affects 
Europe locally , nationally and at the Union level. Before the migration manag ement crisis of 2015, migrants and 
refug ees were mostly missing in the mainstream media. Disinf ormation and stigmatising is happening mostly in 
national discourses, rather than at the Union level, but the impa ct of them is felt at much larger scale. After 2015, 
media started exploiting migration issues to fuel negative, anti-European and nationalist rheto ric in the Member 
States, creating dang erous precedents in shifting public opinion, and even affectin g electora l results, let alone the 
challenge s posed on Union solidar ity. 
Information about media representation of migrants and refug ees is not abundant, but there are numerous examples 
collect ed and featured across the literature. The Commission’s 2018 Special Eurobarometer 469: Integrat ion of 
immigrants in the European Union, confronts the public opinion with facts and figures that bring clarity to the 
distor ted image and percep tions promote d across the Union, about migration. The refugees and migrants of differ ent 
backg rounds are rarely asked or quoted in the media stories. They are pointe d at, but rarely heard. Decided for, but 
rarely involved. Portrayed predominantly in a stigmatising ways in the media: as dange rous outsiders, as victims, as 
criminals, as those who would take your jobs – migrants and refug ees perspectives and voices have been mostly 
missing in the mainstream media. 
This pilot project aims to address these recur ring issues by promoting and investing in inclusive media in Europe, 
whic h take s into account those voic es. It aims to change current media narratives and break stigmas about the place 
and role of the refug ees and migrants in European societies and communities. It will enable their voic es to be 
integrated in the common media discourses and digital platf orms. It will ensure that non-Euro-centr ic perspectives 
and visions of people outside of, but relevant to the idea of Europe, permeat e and become integral part of the 
European media discourses. It will contr ibute to the values of non-discr imination, diversity , fair inclusion of 
new comers – refug ees and migrants –in the European media. It will help dealing with disinf ormation and polar ising 
media discourses, through cooperation and skills development. The pilot project will involve Union citizens, local, 
national and European policymakers, media (public, national and intern ational), migrants and refugees, professional 
and civic platf orms and stake holders enga ged in the topi c. 
Key actions: 
(1) Map out and study existing good practices (policies, legal basis, instr uments, programmes, tools, etc.) relat ed to 
inclusive media and disseminate them across the Union through exper ts’ confer ence, multi-stakeh older activities and 
publications (online and offline). 
(2) Develop specifi c recommendations to mainstream inclusive media narratives and communication throughout 
Union programmes. 
(3) Expand and build upon the existing good practices and community of kno wledge across all Member States, in order 
to mainstream successful inclusion and ethical media models involving media, public broadcaster s, European 
Broadcaste rs Union etc. 
(4) Promote professiona l knowledg e exchange and peer learning for jour nalists in sensitive repor ting. COMMISS ION

Remark s 
The number of significant crises the Union has undergone demonstrate s that it needs to involve citizens more closely 
in a bottom-up exercise. Citizens’ assemblies are exercises in deliberative democracy whic h bring together a cross- 
section of society to debate and advise on specific societal challenges. Although Union citizens’ dialogues took place 
in the past, those temporar y assemblies would be a rare chance for citizens to take the reins from their representatives 
and hash out the issues for themselves. If formulated correctly , citizens can transf orm consensus on important issues 
to consensus on a way to act better. Positive outcomes would help bring citizens closer to the Union.

Remark s 
Objective 
This pilot project will develop an educational packag e with interactive modules on the rule of law for pupils in 
secondar y education across the Union. The modules will be available at an online platf orm that will also facilitate 
virtual exchange between teac hers all over the Union. These interactive modules on rule of law will be in all the 
official languag es of the Union, meant to help schools and teac hers to develop kno wledge about the rule of law. 
Back ground 
Respect for the rule of law is a critical compo nent for membership of the Union and it is essential to ensure the 
democratic functioning of both the Member States and the Union as a whole. Respect for the rule of law is a 
prerequisite for people ’s enjo yment of their fundamental rights. Similarly , a European area of justice, as well as an 
internal mark et in whic h laws are applied unif ormly, cannot exist without full adherence to the rule of law. The rule of 
law under pins any democratic society and foste rs citizen’s trust in public institutions, including in the justice syste m. 
In recent years however , the rule of law in the Union has been put to the test on several occasions. Union institutions 
and several Member State s’ governments have voiced their concer n about rule of law backsliding. In its man y 
resolutions regarding the deterioration of the rule of law, the European Parliament has emphasised that the 
Commission is responsible under the Treaties for guarant eeing respect for the rule of law as a fundamental value of 
the Union. 
As part of its response to these challenges, the Commission presented its communication ‘Further strengthening the 
Rule of Law within the Union’ in Apr il 2019, in whic h it identif ied three pillars for the effective enforcement of the 
rule of law. The first pillar is promotion, and refers to building kno wledge on the rule of law and fostering a common 
rule of law culture. Following that communication, the Commission received contr ibutions from a broad diversity of 
stak eholders. A large majority of the contr ibutions emphasize that more aware ness needs to be raised among the 
general public on the existing rule of law standards, such as through civil society and education. 
Studies confir m the lack of knowledg e of Union citizens regar ding the rule of law. The July 2019 Special 
Eurobaromet er study on the rule of law shows that even though the vast majority considers the principles of the rule 
of law highly important, most Union citizens do not feel suffi ciently informed about the Union’s fundamental values. 
Citizens, particularly younger people, can benefi t from a deeper understanding of the rule of law. As the Venice 
Commission has pointed out: ‘The rule of law can only flour ish in a countr y whose inhabitants feel collectively 
responsible for the imp lementation of the concep t, making it an integral part of their own lega l, political and social 
culture.’ 
In its communication ‘Strengthening the rule of law within the Union – A bluepr int for action’ from July 2019, the 
Commission ackn owledg es that Member States’ education system s play a part in strengthening the rule of law ‘by 
ensur ing a place for the rule of law in public debate and education’. However , understanding and awareness of the 
rule of law is hardly ever taught in schools within the Union. Since the 2015 'Declaration on promoting citizenship 
and the common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discr imination through education' adopt ed in Paris, man y COMMISS ION

Member States have integrated citizenship education in their national curricula. A 2017 study by the Education, 
Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agen cy however shows that rule of law is not a focus point in teac hing on 
citizenship education, leading to a knowledg e gap in the younger generation. 
The Education Platf orm on Rule of Law seeks to fill this gap. This pilot project will mak e steps in strengthening the 
kno wledge and respect for the rule of law through education by developing tools and cont ent, which teac hers in the 
Union can integrat e in their teac hing and learning practices. 
Despit e existing Union programmes that provid e funding for the development of educational packag es, such as the 
Erasmus+ programme, the e-Twinning platf orm and the School Education Gate way multilingual platf orm, there is 
currently no dedicated Union education platf orm promoting the rule of law in secondar y education. This pilot project 
is unique in this sense, as it will offer educational mat erial on the rule of law to all secondar y school s in the Union in a 
proactive manner , rather than having to rely on a consor tium applying under the existing Union funding 
oppor tunities that would produce only limite d conte nt specific to their particular interests. Creating a dedicat ed fund 
for this purpose will thus ensure that the same educational packa ge is available throughout the Union in all the 
Union’s languag es, rather than only the languages used by the organisations that would apply for Union funding 
through existing channels. 
Implementation 
Educational packag e: interactive modules and exchang e space for teac hers 
In order to fill the abovementioned knowledg e gap, this pilot project will focus on the generation of kno wledge on the 
rule of law among young people. To achieve this, the fund will: 
Develop an educational packag e of inter active modules that will be available online in all official Union languag es, 
whic h will be offered to teachers in secondar y schools all over the Union as a means to compl ement their learning 
mat erials related to society , justice and citizenship education; 
Creat e an online space of exchange for teachers across the Union that work with the packag e. 
The educational packag e should contain at least the followi ng elements: 
Understanding the rule of law and its main principles (suc h as equality before the law, separation of powers, access to 
justice, etc.) 
The impor tance and histo ry of the rule of law in national constitutions and within the Union 
The inter connectedness between the rule of law and fundamental rights, democracy and citizenship; 
Practical tools, videos and intera ctive exer cises to debate the rule of law in relation to the pupils’ life, society and

Remark s 
1. Introduction 
Persons with disabilities run the highest risk of being excl uded from jobs – discr imination still happens in man y 
European countr ies. At Union level, Eurostat figures confir m that persons with disabilities are far more affected by 
unem ployment than those without disabilities. On averag e, only 48,1 % of persons with disabilities in the Union are 
employed compare d to 73,9 % among the general population. Women with disabilities and persons with high 
suppor t needs show even lower emp loyment rates. 
These data demonstrate that the emplo yment for people with disabilities has been one of the least developed objectives 
within the European Disability Strategy (EDS) 2010-2020. Unem ployment may lead to poverty and social excl usion. 
Guarant eeing access to emplo yment and occupation is a key issue, as it is a crucial aspect for the economic and social 
inclusion of around 80 million persons with disabilities in Europe. COMMI SSION

2. Justifi cation 
The current EDS is coming to an end in the year 2020. The impor tance of an EDS is key to the imple mentation of the 
UN Conv ention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) and, theref ore, to promotion and protect ion of 
the rights of all persons with disabilities. At this point, it is extremely impor tant to guarantee emplo yment rights of 
persons with disabilities, through an inclusive enterprise model for people with disabilities, based on respect for 
Article 27 of the UN CRPD: equal oppor tunities, equal remuneration and safe and healthy working conditions. 
It calls for a pilot project that focuses on strengthening the obligations to offer reasonable wag es based on the 
minimum wage , and works to better implement the existing directives on non-discr imination in emplo yment. 
Moreo ver, the agenda should focus on the use of Union funds to facilitat e employment of persons with disabilities in 
the open labour market, in part through the recognition, promotion and prote ction of an inclusive enterprise as a 
social econom y agent aiming at integration into the labour mark et, as a worker , any person with a disability . 
3. Defi nition and charact eristics of an inclusive enterprise model for persons with disabilities. 
Inclusive enterprise is an emplo yment model for people with disabilities that is present in more than 13 European 
countr ies and involves more than 8 000 compan ies. They provid e goods, services, and livelihoods hiring persons with 
disabilities as equal worke rs, while also enga ging an important part of the population in the value chain of companies 
as suppliers, distr ibut ors, and retailers. 
An inclusive enterprise works as a vehicle to answer the need of the majority of persons with disabilities for a dignified 
and productive life just like any individual. Equal emplo yment provides not only income but also social impact 
generating oppor tunities for social participation, whic h is especially important for persons with disabilities. 
Concer ning the orga nisation of inclusive enterprises, they can be structured as for-profit or non-f or-profit, and may 
take the form (depending on in whic h countr y the entity exists and the legal forms available) of a co-operative, mutual 
organisation, a disregarded entity , a social business, a benefit corporation, a community inter est compan y, a compan y 
limite d by guarant ee or a charity organisation. They can also take more convention al structures. 
Inclusive enterprises have both enterprise goals and social goals, but they focus on the emplo yment of persons with 
disabilities. As a result, their social goal is embedded in their objective, which diffe rentiates them from other 
organisations and corporations. An inclusive enterprise’s main purpose is to promote , encourage, and make social 
change by emplo ying in their workf orce the maximum possible number of persons with disabilities. Further more, this 
social purpose is carried out in a financially sustainable way and they can sustain themselves over the long term . Their 
models can be expanded or replicated to other communities to generate more impact. 
Moreo ver, unlike other emplo yment models such as sheltered workshops or socio-medical entities, the most 
outstanding charact eristic of inclusive enterprises is that they are based on the fundamental right to work and 
employment enshr ined in Article 27 of the UN CRPD . It means:

Determining the social impact for the disabled person and the impact on society , clients and others. 
Repor ting and legitimising this emplo yment model – proving the social and economic benefi ts inclusive enterprises 
have on people with disabilities. Unlike the protect ed environment that is linked to the socio-medical framework, 
inclusive enterprises aim to integrat e into the labour world, as a work er, any person with a disability . An inclusive 
enterprise generally benefits from public financia l suppor t. Thanks to the emplo yment of disabled workers, savings 
are made on many social benefits. 
Draf ting and promoting a universal European legal framew ork for inclusive enterprises to creat e permanent 
employment that guarant ees the realisation of profes sional projects of people with disabilities in the ordinar y labour 
mark et. 
The most impor tant result that needs to be maximised through an inclusive enterprise is to impro ve the quality of 
employment and increase the emplo yment rate of people with disabilities. 
5. Pilot project actions: 
The actions which will be carried out under this pilot project are the followi ng: 
1. Research of the situation and legal framew ork of inclusive enterprises framework in the European countr ies. 
2. Measure the impact of inclusive enterprises on the basis of impact chains (inputs – outputs - outcomes- impact) in a 
comparison of countr ies. 
a. Defi ne fields of impact : on persons with disabilities, companies, society , national budget 
b. Develop impact criteria for inclusive enterprises – objectives/target groups, concept /approach, custome rs, 
participation, diversity , resource orientation 
c. Conduct surveys 
d. Com pare approach es / compare impact (inputs - impa ct) 
e. Develop best practices model 
f. Recommend action by the Union 
3. Results of socio-economic study repor t on Retur n on Investment (ROI). An inclusive model should not be perceived 
as costly burden; it is a successful model that capitalises on the ROI of emplo ying people with disabilities. 
6. Partners in the pilot project: organisations representing the inclusive enterprises for people with disabilities in 
Europe, and organisation that work to promote access to emplo yment for people with disabilities at European level 
In the implementation phase of this pilot project, the European Conf ederation of Inclusive Enter prises (EuCIE) could 
be a good partner which provid es to the Union institutions its knowledg e and data since this organisation is the main 
representative of inclusive enterprises for people with disabilities in Europe. COMMISS ION

EuCIE is the union of several countr ies to promote access to emplo yment for people with disabilities at European level. 
In fact, EuCIE shares the same model of inclusive compan y whose organisations represent the main inclusive 
employers in Belgium- Wallonia (Eweta), France (UNEA), German y (Bag-if) and Spain (CONA CEE) despit e the fact that 
they have established contacts with more European countr ies where inclusive enterprises exist. According to this pilot 
project, EuCIE mission is to represent all European inclusive enter prises at European level and its worke rs with 
disabilities, working for their recognition, promotion and prote ction at European level. 
7. Conclusions 
The most important positive result from the implementation of this pilot project would be to provi de the basis for 
increasing the employment rate of people with disabilities and impro ving the quality of employment, using an 
inclusive enterprise for disabled people as a vehicle or tool to achieve it. 
On the other hand, access to work on the open labour mark et is a right that persons with disabilities are entitled to 
enjo y equally to others. Inclusive emplo yment practices can enable persons with disabilities to have economic 
independence and to be socially active, helping them to participat e in their community . It means building an inclusive 
society As a result, inclusive employment practices have been proven to benefi t individuals, taxpa yers and the wider 
community .

Remark s 
Preventing and combating domestic violence against women impos es a wide range of measures aimed at ensur ing their 
economic and social independence, fulfilling their right to equality in life and at the same time ensur ing adequate 
prot ection for women victims. 
In addition, the figh t against domestic violence also requires special attenti on to the prevention of recur rence of 
domestic violence by the aggressor . 
This pilot project aims to carry out a study in order to identify the programmes directe d to the aggressors, in what 
circumstances they are applied, to whom they are directed, an evaluation that is made of them in their impacts in the 
prevention of the recur rence of violence. 
The study should cover countr ies in the continent of Europe and should contain information on how the aggressor is 
followed up, whether he is flagged or monitore d by the compe tent author ities, and what actions involve him in order 
to know his psychological profile and to avoid the recur rence of domestic violence, including the death of the victim 
or recur rence in other future victims. COMMI SSION

It must also develop guidelines and tools that allow a concrete and real analysis of the measures that are or will be 
implemented on the social problem of domestic violence. The development of guidelines should help to define 
policies to be adopt ed in the field of prevention. 
It is extremely imp ortant to charact erise the programmes that differ ent European countr ies have implement ed to 
prevent the recur rence of domestic violence against women. 
This pilot project will contr ibut e to: 
- having concrete data to prevent future behaviour of the aggressors; 
- reflecting on different strategies to be implemented ; 
- having kno wledge about all the models adopt ed in European countr ies on this subject.

Remark s 
The outbreak of the COVID-19 has shone a light on and exacerbated the pervasive and well-known problem of 
domestic violence across Europe. Addressing domestic violence has long been problematic due to the fear and 
unjustified stigma victims feel, and the subsequent the lack of repor ting and lack of data to inform concrete policy 
measures. Next to the measures that were in place before the crisis, some Member States have developed new 
measures to address the specifi c wor rying situation of victims in isolation with their abusers where reac hing out for 
help becomes even more difficult. 
The pilot project aims to build on lessons learned during the crisis as rega rds the role technology can play as well as on 
the Commission’s NON.NO.NEIN. campai gn and have an overarching approac h to repor ting of domestic violence 
with Union added value. The pilot project would fund the development and launch of a free app, which collates 
information and resources for women suffer ing from domestic violence for example information on warning signs of 
abusive beha viour , how to prepare to leav e a violent situation, local shelt ers and national helplines’ contact details, 
legal rights and remedies etc. Crucially , women, through a discreet app, which could be disguised as something 
innocuous, would be connected to their national helpline through a real time chat service. An emergency button 
could also call for police assistance without the need to speak thereby avoiding alerting abusers in volatile situations. 
Further more, national services and NGOs suppor ting domestic violence victims would feed into the app’s design and 
be suppor ted in connectivity of the app with their existing structures. The app launc h should be accompan ied by a 
Commission awareness campaign to promot e the app in order to reach as many women as possible. 
This would provide a harmonised Union approach in helping to address and suppor t victims of domestic violence. The 
European Parliament has previously proposed the establishment of a coherent system for collecting statistics on 
gender -based violence in Member State s and this EU app could help to further inform national and Union policy 
making by having a more compl ete and accurate view of the domestic violence cases through anony mised data 
collection in full respect of the data prote ction legislation. This app would collect evidence of domestic abuse in order 
to assist victims with applying for prote ction against abusers and to help users better understand what is happening to 
them with recordings.

While Union legislation has been developed over the years to ensure sustainable use of pesticides, there are still man y 
gaps in its imp lementation at Member State level and farmers say that replacing pesticides is difficult and costly or 
that alternatives do not exist. 
Building on the find ings of the recent Commission evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament 
and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framewor k for Community action to achieve the sustainable use 
of pesticides (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 71) (COM(2017) 587 final), the study will assess integrat ed pest management 
(IPM) measures taken in each of the Member States, including farmland managed under IPM, and possibly classify 
them by type of crops. It will collect evidence of pesticide use reduction and gather information on the practices 
applied. The project will develop a toolbox to enable farmers and farmers ’ advisers to achi eve the policy aim of 
significantly reducing pesticide dependency . The toolbox should descr ibe, for a large number of crops, the prot ocols 
to be applied for IPM, including the altern atives to chemical pesticides. The study will identify and propose effective 
approac hes, beginning with the modific ation of farming practices, using rotation wherever possible, follo wed by the 
introduction, where appropr iate, of resilient and resistant crop varieties and the use of beneficial insects and 
alternative pesticides, etc. Alternatives should be tailored to local conditions. 
The project will take into account inter alia the exper iences gained from work done by the Internatio nal Org anisation 
for Biological Control (IOBC), the Intern ational Biocontrol Manuf acturer Association (IBMA) and orga nisations 
working with farmers on different agronomic approac hes and IPM. COMMI SSION

The study will contain an analysis of how well common agricultural policy (CAP) tools are promoting IPM among 
farmers. It will also propose how to scale up practices throughout Europe, with the help of the post-2020 CAP 
instr uments (e.g. farm advisor y services informing farmers how to apply IPM) and the CAP green arch itecture to 
encourag e farmers to apply the principles of IPM. 
The study will also investigat e the obstacles (real or perceived) seen by farmers and exper ts that limit dissemination 
and uptak e of IPM in the field. 
In accordance with Article 14 of Directive 2009/128/EC, Member States are to take all necessar y measures to promot e 
low pesticide-input pest manage ment, giving wherever possible priority to non-chemical methods, so that professional 
users of pesticides switch to practices and products with the lowe st risk to human health and the envi ronment among 
those available for the same pest problem. 
The Commission’s evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC states that IPM is a cornerst one of that Directive, and it is 
theref ore of particular concer n that Member States have not yet set clear target s and ensured their implementation, 
including for the more widespread use of land management techniques such as crop rotation. 
It also note s that Member States need to develop clearly defined criteria so that they can assess systematically whether 
the eight principles of IPM are implement ed, and take appropr iate enforcement measures if this is not the case. Such 
tools could conf irm that the intended outcome of IPM as specifi ed in the Directive, a reduction of the dependency on 
pesticide use, is being achi eved. 
Both the Agriculture Council (on 6 November 2017) and the European Parliament (on 13 November 2017) have 
discussed the findings in the Commission’s repor t and conf irmed their commitment to ensur ing deeper and 
meaningful implementation in the future. 
This project helps farmers and Member State s to begin applying IPM consist ently , and reduce farmers ’ dependence on 
pesticides. 
The pilot project generates results that can be incor porat ed into the research project ‘Stepping up integrated pest 
manag ement ’ and can contr ibut e to gather ing information on how IPM is currently applied on the ground, and is 
useful for Member States in designing their CAP plans.

This appropr iation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot 
project. 
This pilot project establishes an operational programme that will create added value and be adap ted to livest ock 
sectors, particularly the milk and beef sector s, in order to deal with issues concer ning local and family agriculture. 
As with existing operational programmes in the fruit and vegetable sector , it aims to imp rove the structur ing, 
compe titiveness and resilience of these sector s by guarant eeing farmers a fair, stable income irrespective of the 
distr ibution of production, rising production costs and price fluctuations. 
The pilot project is needed in order to counter the alarming reduction in the number of farms being handed on, whic h 
is putting local and family agriculture in jeopardy . Such small-scale farms have low profitabilit y, whic h makes banks 
unwilling to suppor t projects for handing on farms because of a lack of financial viability . 
The pilot project has three main objectives: 
Objectiv e 1 — Structur ing of the sector: 
— increasing producers’ level of organisation and strengthening their position in the interpr ofessional chain by 
financing projects to impro ve production planning, 
— imp roving the quality , commercial exploitation and promotion of products through structured dialogue with those 
down stream of the sector , 
— suppor ting the moder nisation of businesses, fast product adaptation, innovati on in production methods and crisis 
prevention, 
— suppor ting environmental prote ction measures and environmentally-fr iendly production methods (organic 
farming). 
Objectiv e 2 — Income stabilisation 
Establishing a creative sector al approach through the introduction of two tools available under the common 
agricultural policy: 
— a contractual mechanis m for shar ing added value, and 
— the development of a financial stabilisation instr ument for producer income. 
The aim is to enable producers to overcome price volatility and be assured a fair, stable income which will boost the 
sustainability of their under takings. COMMI SSION

Objectiv e 3 — Creation of a fund for futur e financing 
Some of the added value creat ed at sector level can be reinvest ed — alongside the public suppor t received — in 
establishing an innovati ve fund to guarant ee the long-ter m financing necessar y for setting up or handing on farms. 
— The appro ach adopted 
The approach taken by the pilot project is to improve coherence between various European measures by establishing a 
sectoral operational programme. It follows the approac h of more result-or ientated public policies. 
The project strengthens the cohesion between the upstream and downstream parts of the sector and promot es new 
synergies through structured dialogue between all compo nents of the sector by enhancing production value by means 
of a list of specifi cations for optimising added value when products are placed on the mark et, the management of price 
volatility and guarant eeing supplies through generational renewal. 
The sustainability of farms will no long er rely only on individual producers but on a common approac h that will help 
creat e positive mark et momentum. The pilot project theref ore generates momentum, beyond the milk and meat 
sectors, which can be transferr ed to other local sectors as part of a region’s collective economic development strategy . 
It acts as a driver for regional development and for meeting challeng es relating to the economy (breeder revenues and 
increased value of local products), society (job creation, making family farms sustainable), the environment 
(production conditions), land-use planning (handing on farms, territorial development) and touris m (shor t supply 
chains). 
— Assessment 
An assessment will be carried out after two years to determine: 
(1) the added value and effectiveness of the sectora l operational programme in term s of the objectives; 
(2) the interprofessional dynamics at work and their possible exte nsion to other agri-food sector s in the area; 
(3) the benefi t of exper ience gained in coordinating CAP tools within an operational programme and the added value 
derived by small family farms from land facing similar problems; 
(4) the relevance of sustaining the pilot project by means of a preparatory action with the aim of adopt ing a similar 
tool under the CAP . COMMISS ION

This pilot project assesses technical solutions for opening a migration route for sturgeon to pass the Iron Gate 
hydropowe r dams I and II on the Danube River on the border between Romania and Serbia. Consider ing the size of 
the dams (the largest on the River Danube), the size of the fish (up to 7 metres in length) and the surrounding rocky 
terrain, this is an extraordinar y engineer ing challenge requir ing a solution with a high degree of innovation, tailored to

This pilot project prepares a sound and comprehensive technical feasibility study for facilitating sturge on migration 
including: 
1) concept or pre-design for poten tial technical options for upstream and down stream fish passage restoration, 
including comparison of advantag es and disadvantag es (restr ictions), cost estimat es, risks (technical, financia l) and 
identification of the next steps required for an outline design, including structural design, technical compo nents 
design and operational concept; 
2) hydraulic modelling; 
3) concept for an implementation strategy (the sequence of structure implementation, e.g. a step-b y-step process 
following a learning-by -doing approach, i.e. an adaptive fishwa y design approac h); 
4) identif ication of feasible manag ement alternati ves, in particular for downstream fish prote ction (e.g. turbine 
manag ement, trap and transpor t) – both shor t-term and long-t erm; 
5) field surveys necessar y to fill knowledg e gaps not covered by ongoing studies (non-existing data or outdat ed data); 
6) concep t for fishwa y evaluation and monitor ing; 
7) updat e of funding concept; 
8) review of technical concep ts by peer reviewers and fishwa y exper ts. 
These compo nents of the technical Feasibility Study will cost some EUR 2 000 000. The ICPDR as well as the 
compe tent national author ities of Romania and Serbia will be closely involved in the implementation of the study . 
The activities to be implemented could be redesigned to avoid possible overlaps with ongoing work. 
Funding for this project is currently not provi ded for in any Union programme. 
There is no ready-t o-apply design for this kind of fish pass and the inno vative solution funded under this project will 
thus be a paradigm for designing compar able fish passes on other , large European rivers. Similar challenges to that of 
making Iron Gate I and II passable for large fish (e.g. large scale, high discharg e, variable water levels in the reser voir) 
are also encountered around the Baltic Sea, where large dams on the Vistula (Poland), the Neman (Lithuania) and the 
Dauga va (Latvia) rivers hinder fish migration and sturgeon reintroduction programmes. Other examples are the 
Gabčík ovo dam as well as larger dams on the Tisza and Drava in the Danube basin, on the Evros in Bulg aria and 
Greece, and rivers on the Iber ian Peninsula, for exam ple on the Guadalquivir , a former sturgeon river. Finding fish 
migration solutions for all these rivers would be an important contr ibution to implementation of Directive 
2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for 
Community action in the field of water policy (OJ L 327, 22.12.2000, p. 1). COMMISS ION

Passages for sturgeon on large dams only exist in Russia on the Volga and Kuban rivers and in the Unit ed States on the 
Connecticut and Columbia rivers. Exper ience gathered with these facilities should be take n into account, but will not 
answer all questions. One of the best known and most successful exam ples of fish passes for sturgeon in Europe is at 
Geesthac ht in German y, but there the weir is only 4,5 m high, whereas Iron Gate I is 60 m high. 
In addition, this pilot project also involves Serbian water management stak eholders, thereb y helping them learn how

This appropr iation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot 
project. 
Landcare initiatives are charact erised by close cooperation between conser vationists, farmers and local communities. 
Their aim is to preser ve the diversity of European landscapes and their biodiversity , and to provid e suppor t for the 
further sustainable development of rural economies. Cooperative nature conser vation efforts on the basis of landcare 
principles currently exist in six Member States (France, Germany , Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain) 
and a start is currently being made on similar approach es in other Member State s (e.g. Lithuania and Czec hia). 
Actively improving how Union nature directives are implemented provides the setting within whic h landcare 
initiatives are taking place. The project promotes the relevant CAP measures, including measures for farmland birds 
and Natura 2000 site manage ment, and works to include all relevant measures and goals in the CAP strategic plans 
and the prioritised action framewor ks. In addition, implementation of Directive 2000/60/EC of the European 
Parliament and of the Council of 23 Octobe r 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of 
wate r policy (OJ L 327, 22.12.2000, p. 1) is considered an impor tant factor for the project and for implemen tation of 
Union nature legislation. 
To achieve these goals in the regions on the ground, the participating organisations are carrying out a broad rang e of 
activities in suppor t of various stak eholders in relevant rural areas in order to secure conser vation measures from a 
structural perspective. COMMI SSION

The main working areas for implementation of Union nature legislation involve: 
— offer ing additional sources of income for land users through landcare measures, e.g. agri-env ironmental measures 
that preser ve landscapes and biodiversity , 
— mark eting high quality regional products (e.g. from Natura 2000 sites), 
— suppor ting rural touris m, 
— creating jobs, and 
— foste ring regional identities. 
Exper ience so far shows that the landcare approach improves implementation of Union nature directives by enhancing 
local biodiversity , preser ving cultural landscapes and impro ving quality of life for people in rural areas. In line with the 
Action Plan for nature, people and the economy , these developments promote smar ter participat ory approach es and 
strengthen full involvement of landowners and users. 
There should theref ore be efforts to intensi fy contact and exchang e of exper iences within the European landcare 
initiatives and organisations. In recent years, a start has been made on pooling exper ience among various European 
landcare initiatives, whic h have benefited from those contacts. Dur ing mutual visits and workshops, new approaches 
for better implementation of Union environment/nature and farming policies have been developed; but toda y it is 
essential to strengthen this cooperation at European level so as to boost the long-t erm benefi t for rural development 
and nature. 
This project involves both existing and new partners so that they learn from defined key factors and practical 
exper ience. They are able to participate in workshops and at a European confe rence. The project will theref ore 
ultimat ely help foster European partnerships and strengthen the Union. According ly, five workshops with successful 
partners will be run in order to define key factors for cooperative nature conser vation. The key factors will be 
summar ised in a multilingual publication and presented at a final European confer ence on ‘Landcare Europe – 
cooperative nature conser vation to benefit man and nature’. New landcare mov ements can use this to impro ve their 
work on the ground. 
The central goal of the project is to promote bette r imp lementation of Union directives, such as Council Directive 
92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conser vation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, 
p. 7) and Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 Apr il 1979 on the conser vation of wild birds (OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, p. 1), 
and the impact of the common agricultural policy on cultural landscapes in various Member States. Feedback and 
sugge stions will be summar ised and delivered to the Commission as well as to the respective ministr ies in the Member 
States. This will also foster the transfer of knowledg e and practical exper iences from one countr y to another and the 
development of suitable programmes if necessar y. 
In addition to implementation of Union nature conser vation directives, further topics will be discussed that are not 
directly related to ever yday landcare work in Europe, with the aim of finding solutions and learning from tried-and- 
tested practices:

— conclusions will also feed in to action to promote several deliverables under the Action Plan for nature; 
— exper iences and lessons learnt can also feed in to biogeog raphical netw orking events, etc. 
The special value of landcare initiative collaboration is that, in the process, a bridge is built between nature 
conser vation, land users and local communities. Theref ore, Union policy targets can be better achi eved and a pro-

Remark s 
Europe is well placed to benefit from the poten tial of artificial intellig ence (AI) as a user , as a creator , and as a producer . 
It has excellent research centres, innovative start-ups, a world-leading position in robotics, and competiti ve 
manuf actur ing and services sectors. Europe produces more than a quar ter of all industr ial and professional service 
robots, and plays an important role in developing and using software applications for compan ies and organisations, 
as well as applications to suppor t e-government. 
Europe has developed a strong computing infrastr ucture, and it holds large volumes of public and industr ial data. 
However , although the European digital solutions can advance the circular econom y, suppor t the decarbonisation of 
all sector s and reduce the environmental and social footpr int of products placed on the Union mark et, the sector still 
needs to undergo its own green transf ormation. The signif icant environmental footpr int of the ICT sector is estimat ed 
at 5-9% of the world's total electr icity use, and more than 2% of all emissions. These figures will only increase in the 
coming years. 
Europe needs energy-eff icient data centres, telecommunications and ICT-relat ed industr ies that use renewable energy 
sources, reuse waste energy in ever y step of their activity , are corporat e socially responsible and committed to the 
community where they execut e their activity . All AI-relat ed equipment should be designed, bought, consumed and COMMI SSION

The push to advance AI leads compan ies towards competing to build stronger models that deliver better performa nce. 
However , this market race poses a great threat to the environment, as the larger the model, the more energy it 
consumes. 
Some studies indicate that the computa tions required for deep-lear ning research - a branch of AI that conf igures 
comput ers to perform tasks through exper ience- have increased 300 000 times from 2012 to 2018. Testing AI 
models is energy-int ensive as it is very "data hungr y" - the more data it consumes, the more energy is required. The 
fundamentals of AI testing also involve taking large matr ices and multiplying them to make them larger and more 
skilled. As they grow , the model becomes more accurate, as the same time that the more energy is waste d since more 
computat ions are needed to execut e the training. 
In order to see all-sized AI-relat ed European corporations thrive as they contr ibut e to reac h the Union climate neutral 
objectives, and become socially responsible, the pilot project will provide guidance for AI-relat ed industr ies to access 
the technology , the systems and the best practices that allow them to incor porate all their industr y processes into the 
circular economy .

Where once the iron curtain separated countr ies from each another , nature now connects them in a unique continuity 
of natural habitats which span the length of the European continent. 
The European Green Belt runs along or through 16 Member States, five candidate countr ies, one potential candidate 
and two third countr ies. This is Europe’s long est green netw ork, a flagship of green infrastr ucture, whic h must be 
prot ected and conser ved for future generations. 
Building on the success of the volun tary scheme for Biodiversity and Ecosyst em Services in Territories of European 
overseas (BEST) initiative, a similar sche me should be imple mented for such services along the European Green Belt

Actions could be based on: 
(1) Training and education of young volunteers and jobseekers for biodiversity and ecosystem services: 
Volunteers and jobseekers from all over Europe and participating countr ies should have the possibility to apply via a 
platf orm offered by the Commission to differ ent projects along the European Green Belt. These projects can be 
facilitated by NGOs, universities, compan ies, state or regional author ities. Before diving into fieldwork , the volunt eers 
and jobseek ers should receive a training on biodiversity and ecosyste m services facilitat ed and they should be 
prepared for the work they are going to do on site. Also, units for working in a multicultural environment as well as 
harassment courses should be part of the training before the field work. This would increase their knowledg e and 
netw orks. 
(2) Ecosyst em and Biodiversity services in combination with climate chang e adap tation and mitig ation: 
The work facilitat ed in the area of the European Green Belt should be used to explore the synergies of providin g 
ecosyste m and biodiversity together with climat e change adap tation and mitigation measures. Activities for 
designation and manage ment of prot ected areas should be carried out in the field. Together with exper ts, specifi c 
goals should be set for each project, identifying the work needed on the ground. 
(3) Capacity building and outreach activities and involving organisations in the Region: 
This pilot project should also involve local communities and diffe rent actors in the field. The works happening on the 
ground should be explained to the communities and also local author ities should be trained on the link s between 
interconnected environmental issues (biodiversity , climat e chang e and land degradation) and related processes. 
Best practice example s should be shared along projects on the belt and each year a competiti on between the projects 
for innovati ve ideas and work shall be held. 
For further outreach also Member State s, NGOs, regional organisations and internati onal organisations should be 
involved in a multi stake holder approach . A bluepr int could be the Green List approac h developed by the IUCN. 
(4) Setting up of a database: 
The participating organisations should contr ibut e to a European Green Belt wide open source database, setting out 
different parameter s from biodiversity to climate change relevant information. This database could help monitor the 
situation on the ground and provi de valuable information for scientists and research ers from different areas. 
(5) Raising aware ness for the impor tance of biodiversity : 
By connecting activities for ecosyste m preser vation and restoration with information given to tour ists travelling the 
Iron Curtain Trail, education on environmental issues can be spread easily and in a low-threshold fashion. Different 
levels of knowledg e, adapt ed to families, for example, can mak e the Iron Curtain Trail more attractive, thus fosteri ng 
sustainable tour ism. COMMI SSION

Remark s 
For transpor t modes that are most difficult to decarbonise, such as shipping, diffe rent options are being explored. 
Maersk for example, the biggest cargo shipper worldwide, is examining for its fleet propulsion with alcohols as well as 
with ammonia and also with biomethane. Other carriers are collecting first exper iences with hydrog en/fuel cell 
propulsion. A multitude of questions about hydrog en in shipping is open, inter alia: 
1. How to guarantee that the hydrogen is "green" (won with electrolysis of water with renewable energy), not "blue", 
and that it is produced from surplus energy , hence not taking awa y renewable energy from the grid that would be 
needed elsewhere? 
2. In whic h use cases is hydrogen an altern ative to batter y-electr ic shipping? And when using hydrog en as a fuel, in 
whic h case is the propulsion with fuel cell technology the smar test option to use, in which case it is more efficient to 
use hydrog en-ge nerated ammonia or alcohols? Both questions can be addressed in a pilot project that assesses the 
options for production and utilisation of hydrogen in a coastal area with shipping infrastr ucture. Harbours are the 
natural hub for hydrogen, since they are the infrastr ucture nods for the connection to offshore wind farms; deliver y 
and storage of hydrogen from overseas; fuelling of different transpor t carriers and injection into pipelines for the 
transpor t inland. 
The questions can be addressed in a combined field study with the followi ng tools: 
1. cost-benefit analysis for different scenar ios of hydrogen production for shipping: onshore vs. offshore wind with the 
offshore scenar io differ entiating between onshore vs. offshore electrolysis (and hence connection to the coast via 
electr icity line vs. hydrogen pipeline) 
2. cost-benefi t analysis for different uses of hydrogen for shipping in a closed production cycle within the harbour area: 
fuell cell propulsion vs. methanol/ethanol vs. ammonia 
The analysis should also include an assessment of the respective legal and licensing obstacles and costs.

The pilot project aims at setting up a European Obser vatory on the figh t against Impunity (EOI) built on the necessity 
to promote the fight against impunity for serious violations of human rights and crimes against humanity having the 
principle of accountability as a central pillar of the architecture of internati onal justice. COMMISS ION

The objective of the EOI should be to provid e a Union-wide approach aimed at ensur ing a proper involvement of the 
parliamentar y dimension and scrutiny both at Union and national levels. 
The pilot project should be based on the UN Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation 
for Victims of Gross Violations of International Human Rights Law and Serious Violations of International 
Humanitar ian Law . To fill the gap of impunity , the pilot project would serve the purpose of addressing the most 
sensitive issues in the internati onal human rights law cont ext (e.g. extra judicial killings and enforced disappearances) 
as well as the needs of the most vulnerable groups (e.g. children, youth, women, minor ities and intern ally displaced 
persons). This includes shaping solutions for eliminating possible obstacles for victims to access justice and to 
promot e international justice systems, including transitional justice where accountability is most at risk. 
Putting in place a permanent Union structure for monitoring and deliver ing activities in this field could really impro ve 
the fight against impunity and the principle of accountability . 
The main activities of the EOI would include: 
(1) raising awar eness on unrepor ted situations and human rights violations, notably as a concrete follo w-up to 
European Parliament's urgency resolutions, identifying and suppor ting relevant bodies and actors on the ground and 
coordinating actions in close cooperation with all relevant Union and internatio nal bodies and mechani sms; 
establishing a platf orm to ampli fy the voice of the victims and the Union's response in that respect. 
(2) monitor ing widespread impunity for human rights violations and attacks on the role of the Intern ational Criminal 
Cour t (ICC), consider ing the joint communication to the European Parliament and the Council on the EU action plan 
on Human Rights and Democracy 2020 -2024; 
(3) suppor ting the work of the European Genocide Networ k and creat e synergies in order to ensure a parliamentar y 
dimension via a close cooperation between national author ities (parliaments), the European Parliament, parliamentar y 
assemblies in third countr ies and civil society organisations; giving suppor t to the judiciar y to investigat e and 
prosecut e intern ational crimes and assessing the common efforts of the Member State s and the Union in enforcing 
criminal law and jurisprudence notably by the adoptio n of relevant legislation and building necessar y netw orks with 
official and non-off icial representatives at national and European levels; 
(4) advoc ating in favour of multidisciplinar y accountability system s (including the ICC) and reparation processes in 
challenging environments, bridging the gap between mechanisms and victims (also called "sur vivors") by ensur ing a 
victim-centred approach; 
(5) enhancing the profile and visibility of the Union engag ement on the fight against impunity through an annual high- 
level event (eg. European Days to Combat Impuni ty), targe ted campai gns and the publication of repor ts, and creating 
new partnerships and netw orks worldwide with a potential multiplying effect at multilat eral, regional and local level; 
(6) contr ibuting to implement the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development (goal 16) and its objective of 
designing bette r accountability mec hanisms, provi ding access to justice for all and promoting peaceful and inclusive 
societies. COMMI SSION

Europe's capacity to compet e in the global mark et will depend on its capacity to conver t scientifi c and technological 
kno wledge into inno vative products and services. Further more, the appeal of Europe will strong ly depend on how its 
regions can conceive an inspir ing, motivating and future-or iented environment for its citizens. The transf ormation of 
society by digital technologies is creating oppor tunities for Europe that a joint effort between the arts and technology 
could help fully exploit. In the digital world, Europe can stake a claim on leadership in ways of living and in those 
compo nents of the digital revolu tion that most depend on creativity , i.e. broadly in 'conten t'. A committed 
partnership between the arts and technology can mak e this claim a reality in areas as diverse as social inclusion, new 
digital media (augment ed reality , new media such as social media, etc.), urban development (smar t cities, Internet of 
Things, etc.) or the future of mobility . 
Enhanced collaboration between the arts and technology would not only stimulate innovati on and thereby enhance 
the competitiveness of Europe; it would also help unleash creativity in society and in European regions. Multiple 
presidency conclusions on ‘crossove rs from culture to businesses' have theref ore invit ed the Union institutions to 
consider enhancing collaboration between the arts and technology for a holistic exploration of oppor tunities that 
overcomes the traditional boundar ies of sectors, disciplines or the culture-engineer ing divide. 
The Commission has react ed by launching the STARTS initiative - inno vation at the nexus of science, technology and 
the arts. This is a highly pertinent step focused on promoting innovation in industr y, with the arts as the catalyst for 
uncon ventional thinking and exploration. The Commission is foste ring innovati on rooted in such collaboration by 
introducing lighthouse projects that will put forward the crucial role of the arts in tackling challenge s in the context of 
the digital sing le market. 
This preparatory action builds on the work carried out by the pilot projects preceding it and explore how to best 
introduce the programme across the board and have STARTS ideas extended from pure industr ial settings to, for 
instance, areas of regional and urban development where the digital also plays a prominent role. It aims to develop a 
coherent horizontal framewor k for ‘art-tec hnology’ thinking in Europe across sector s and disciplines as well as across 
pertinent activities of European institutions (including framewor k programmes structural funds and education 
programmes). COMMI SSION

INTR ODUCTION 
Evidence-inf ormed policymaking (EIPM) has become more important than ever due the ever -increasing compl exity of 
economic, social and environmental challenges we are facing. The current policy challenges are character ised by a 
mixture of compl exity , uncer tainty and ambiguity . These challeng es ultimat ely have an impact on citizens at local and 
regional level, whic h is why EIPM matt ers even more at those levels of govern ance. Moreo ver, in the current climate of 
populism, post truth and fake news, public scrutiny and the accountability of science are crucial aspects to enhance the 
democratic processes. 
The pilot project ‘Science meets Parliaments/Science meets Regions’ addressed these challenges mainly through the 
organisation of events on various policy topics and the financing of studies in suppor t of this event, as well as some 
pilot training course for national, regional and local policymakers. 
As the pilot phase is ending, it is clear that there is still a real need for this tool, especially at regional and local level. It 
is also obvious that the next step s should work towards a clearer focus and structural impact across regions and cities 
in Europe, beyond the pioneer ing work in the pilot project. 
This will be the main objective of the preparatory action, whic h will primar ily address Commission policy priorities 
topi cs in line with the Commission policy priorities: 
- European Green Deal, 
- digital transition, COMMISS ION

- promoting an econom y that works for people, 
- enhancing European democracy , 
- promoting the European way of life, 
The regional and local actors across Europe are actively involved in reac hing these policy objectives in particular: 
-contr ibuting to make Europe the first climat e-neutral continent by 2050, while boosting the compet itiveness of 
industr y and ensur ing a fair transition for the territories and workers affected, 
-implementing the social pillar and suppor ting SMEs inve stment and financing,

-increasing investment in technologies such as block chain and artificial intellig ence, 
-giving a strong er role to European citizens in decision-making in order to build trust in the institutions/public sectors 
as well as in the democratic processes, 
The preparatory action will also aim at filling the gap in the Union instr uments dealing with EIPM, which targe t mainly 
the national author ities (gov ernments) and do not foresee any networking initiative at European level to share 
practices, methods and instr uments. 
OBJECTIVES 
Building on the successful results achi eved during the pilot phase, the preparatory action aims at strengthening local 
science for policy ecosystems through the followi ng objectives: 
(1) building aware ness and mutual understanding at regional, interr egional and national level on policy-relevant 
questions and the kind of evidence needed to answer them; 
(2) suppor ting regional and local decision-make rs and policymake rs to develop skills to understand, obtain, assess and 
utilize target ed, reliable high-quality evidence as well as engaging with stakeholder; 
(3) creating a community of practitioners across Europe that share exper iences and knowledg e in order to enhance the 
local ecosyste m for EIPM. 
ACTIONS OR TYPES OF FINANCIAL INTER VENTIONS 
1. Countr y-based compo nent 
In cooperation with the Committ ee of the Regions, a ‘recommendations guide’ of implementation of the post 2020 
policies will be elaborat ed. Then, this strand will finance 10 innovation camps at regional and municipal level to 
address key challenge s framed in one of the abovementioned Commission policy priorities. The project proposals 
have to be submitt ed by regions or cities in partnership with local stak eholders (universities, development agencies, 
etc.). Further more, the project should target structural impa ct, and preferably be embedded in a process at national or 
regional level, with the aim of putting in place policies, programmes or strateg ies. COMMI SSION

This preparatory action aims to develop a user -friendly tool (online/app) enabling motori sts (i.e. both professional and 
non-prof essional drivers) to be fully informed about urban and regional access regulation schemes. 
The information includes: geographical scope, access conditions (vehicle type, time (including temporar y restr ictions 
with link s to real-time information sources, etc.), tariffs (prices and validity), payment options, enforcement policies, 
penalties and appeal procedures etc., both for a countr y’s own nationals and foreign nationals, with the possibility of 
information pushes at users' request. 
Consideration may also be given to including accompan ying measures such as park -and-r ide facilities, freight 
consolidation etc. could be considered. 
The tool is primar ily target ed at private users (in parallel with existing platf orms with information on passeng ers’ 
rights), but it could also include specific information for profess ional users (e.g. road haulage companies) and link s to 
navigat ion and routing platf orms. 
The second year of implementation of the preparatory action focuses on extending it to enable road users to be fully

Rapidly falling renewable energy costs and increasing numbers of clean-energy provi ders mean that Union islands 
should now be transitioning to clean energy , provided that their author ities know how to write, evaluate and award 
tenders. For islands with low administrative budge ts, this process is risky, as it make s highly technical, financial and 
legal demands. This preparat ory action will provid e islands with off-the-shelf templat es for tender ing and will be 
developed throughout its duration by taking island representatives to visit renewable energy exper ts for islands and 
sites around Europe, where prof itable clean-energy projects are already being delivered, where possible involving 
renewable energy communities, in order to share first-hand exper iences and learn about the latest project life-cy cle 
budget ing for islands. These real-life training classes and site visits will then be distilled into free, open-access online 
training courses at the end of the preparatory action. 
This preparat ory action reverses the normal Union project process, in that, instea d of provi ding a successful 
standalone proposal in response to a Commission open tender , it will teach island communities how to write tenders 
themselves, to whic h they will receive responses that they have been trained to process and manag e. 
In shor t, it follows the well-known mantra: ‘Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day; teac h a person to fish and he 
will eat for a lifetime.’

Public administrations need to change the way they work and organise themselves. They have to ensure the skills 
needed to use new digital tools; they need to work collaboratively and engag e with citizens and businesses. 
The Union’s vision is to make public administration open, interoperable, effic ient, inclusive, borderless and user - 
friendly by provid ing a new digital environment for public services. In its Communication of 19 Apr il 2016 entitled 
‘EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020: Accelerating the digital transf ormation of government (COM(20 16) 179 
final) and Communication of 14 September 2016 entitled ‘Connectivity for a Com petitive Digital Sing le Mark et – 
Towards a European Gigabit society (COM(20 16 587 final), the Commission considers that digital transf ormation of 
public administration is the key to a successful Digital Sing le Market. 
The Union’s common effort includes a consistent legal basis, policies and financing programmes for digital 
interoperability and inno vative solutions for public administrations. 
However , there is a need for a Union tool to suppor t a platf orm of regions able to address digital transf ormation of 
public administration across Europe. 
AI and BD are driving a new social and economic paradigm in Europe and beyond. Regions need to be part of the 
process as the level of govern ment closest to citizens. 
Use of AI and BD by public administrations has increased, demonstrating great potential in a broad range of sectors - 
from mobility to environmental monitor ing and geoph ysical simulations, and from smar t power grids to personalised 
healthcare. A European platf orm of regions will contr ibute to exchanging and developing common responses and 
solutions. European regions can provi de signif icant input into making public administration systems more efficient 
and capable of generating public value and deliver ing bette r public services. 
A mov e towards a European platf orm of regions for digital transf ormation has already started, provi ng that regional 
engagement represents added value for the digital sing le mark et objectives to moder nise public administration and 
reduce the digital divide. To that end, two European high-level seminars have been organised in Brussels, on digital 
transf ormation of public administration, with the participation of European regions, businesses and the Commission - 
(DG DIGIT , DG CONNECT , DG ECOFIN and the Secretar y-General). The meetings have been promoted by the 
Regional Gov ernment of Emilia-R omagna, with the involvement of Hessen, Catalonia, Flanders, Wallonia, Ile-de- 
France, Nouvelle-Aq uitaine and Trondheim and, from the business side, IT and AI providers. Emilia-R omagna hosts 
the European Centre for Medium-R ange Weather Forecasts, has been select ed to be a European HPC Supercomputing 
Centre and is establishing an internati onal foundation on BD and AI for human development. 
Objectives and activities 
The digital transf ormation platf orm of European regions will: 
— share knowledg e on Union, national and regional legislation and regulator y frameworks so as to enhance the use 
of AI and BD, 
— share models to enhance strategic drivers towards digitalisation, in particular infrastr uctures, data and services, 
digital skills and communities, COMMI SSION

researc h and promotion, as well as a forum for discussion and information for citizens, the public and exper ts in 
various fields. The CICI also aims to become a permanent laborat ory in whic h to develop and test diffe rent forms of 
collaboration between city actor s in order to suppor t participatory practice and promote discussions on urban 
inno vation projects. It manag es analysis processes, develops pilot projects for the community and seeks to solve the 
city's pressing problems and plan future projects, and identify compl ementar y functions in relation to the current 
dynamics of the city. One of the particular ities of the CICI is the effective organisation of open meetings and 
inno vation methodologies recommended by the Commission, using the concep t of the quadr uple helix (addressing 
themes for analysis with the participation of exper ts in public administration location, academics, the business 
environment and the NGO sector ), or even the quintuple helix model, by involving the citizen - a direct beneficiar y of 
measures aimed at increasing the quality of life in the city. The CICI coordinates and guides complex netw orks of 
participatory govern ance. 
This preparatory action emphasises the proactivity of citizens vis-à-vis local government and stress the importance of 
their participation in the decision-making process.

Youth unem ployment remains a signif icant chall enge for Member States. As of Febr uary 2018 it stood at 15,9 % in the 
EU-28 and 17,7 % in the euro area. The aim of the initial pilot project was to contr ibut e to reducing youth 
unem ployment through the provision of work er co-operatives by establishing entrepreneurship and sustainable job 
oppor tunities for young people to both work in and own part of the compan y simultaneously , as well as establishing 
best practice in the area for the Union as a whole. 
The pilot project was launche d in the three Member States with the most exper ience in this field, and included 
objectives such as improving knowledg e of the co-operative business concept, guiding students in implementing their 
own ideas and helping them start up businesses in the form of a co-operative, providing training and internshi ps or 
apprenticeships in co-operatives and examining how to create synergies with relat ed Union programmes. 
The preparat ory action continues to build on the impact of the pilot project in these three Member State s and extends 
actions to other Member States still struggling with high youth unem ployment, such as Greece and Spain.

As a follow-up to the existing pilot project under Item PP 03 18 02, and having regard to paragraph 40 of the 
European Parliament recommendation of 4 Apr il 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquir y into

In the past, qualifi ed third parties provi ded author ities at Union and national level with reliable information on the 
emission beha viour of vehicles. That information was rarely made available by the author ities responsible. Funding 
should be made available to allow them to provi de reliable data from on-road emissions testing of passenger cars

Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, including the four RDE packag es and the guidelines outlined in the Commission notice 
of 26 Januar y 2017. They will publish the results of their measurements in order to suppor t the development of best 
practice procedures and the provision of broader information to the author ities responsible and the public. 
The focus of the work will be on lifetime compl iance that can be assessed by testing vehicles whic h are outside the 
paramete rs currently regulated by either in-ser vice conf ormity or mark et surveillance, i.e. vehicles more than five 
years old or whic h have been driven for more than 100 000 km. Such testing will provid e extremely useful 
information on the quality of current emission control systems and will help in provi ding necessar y information for 
the development of the new legislative proposal on emissions. The testing should include RDE tests and laborat ory 
tests on older vehicles, as well as measurement of all possible pollutants, including those not currently regulated . 
Independent third parties will thus contr ibut e to better oversight of how exhaust standards are performin g in practice 
and the extent to which the Union’s objectives in term s of air quality and climat e policy are being achi eved. They will 
contr ibute to a broader understanding of exhaust reduction strategies with rega rd to acceleration, high speed, ambient 
temperature and other criteria. Their specifi c test procedure will be documented transparently and should take into

Currently , there is a massive shift of mone y awa y from actively managed funds and into index funds that passively 
track established benchmark indices. There are a number of reasons for this recent development. First, private 
pensions have become more important and inve stors are looking for low-cost products as offered by passively 
manag ed funds in order to maximise their profits. Second, Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of 
the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instr uments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 
2011/61/EU (OJ L 173, 12.6.2014, p. 349) has entered into force and introduces stricter governance, accountability

Since the index funds industr y is highly concentrat ed in three large investment firms locat ed outside the Union, the 
high growth of index funds is leading to a concentration of ownership in European publicly listed corporations. 
Additionally , the shift to passively managed index funds increases the market power of the small group of virtually 
unstudied index provid ers setting the criteria for the inclusion of compan ies in key benc hmark indices. This situation 
first and foremost gives cause for concer n for the corporate governance of European firms, including but not limited 
to codeter mination, long-t erm investments and location choice. Further more, ‘common ownership’ raises 
compe tition concer ns. Moreover , the ongoing concentration process within the asset management industr y may also 
have potentially negativ e consequences for financia l stability in the Union. 
This pilot project conducts the first analysis of the consequences of common ownership in European publicly listed 
corporations by institutional investor s. The analysis will be three-pronge d, combining (1) the first truly 
compr ehensive empirical mapping of common ownership in the Member States of the Union with (2) an analysis of 
the voting behavi our of the large index inve stment firms in European companies, (3) exper t inter views with mark et 
participants and compan y executives about the influence of both index inve stment firms and index providers and (4) 
the impact on corporate govern ance, competition and financial stability in the Union.

The abundance of mone y launder ing, tax evasion and tax avoidance revelations over the last few years has signif icantly 
shak en the conf idence of Union citizens, businesses and trade unions in the robustness and fairness of Union rules 
against money launder ing, tax evasion and tax avoidance. When three out of four citizens expect the Union to do 
more on taxation, it is essential to ensure that public interests and interests of all stak eholders are taken into account 
in designing initiatives to strengthen European rules again st financial crimes, tax evasion and tax avoidance. COMMI SSION

This preparatory action creat es a specialised and independent obser vatory on Union tax and financial crime matte rs, 
its main functions being to: 
— creat e a publicly-accessible reposit ory of data on tax evasion and tax avoidance in the Union and the effects of 
policy reform in these domains; 
— disseminate the available data in a user -friendly manner and inform the wider public of issues relating to tax 
fairness, including related issues such as anti-money-launder ing rules, for business and individual taxpa yers and 
the wider public; 
— provid e secretar ial and management functions for a future multi-stake holder exper t forum, which inter alia would 
be a consultative body in charg e of methodological guidance in the area of taxation and financia l crime; 
— produce evidence and recommendations relating to combating tax evasion, tax avoidance and financial crime on 
the basis of the work of the forum; 
— liaise with different internati onal organisations and national administrations on issues relating to Union tax and 
anti-money -launder ing policymaking (i.e. anti-money -launder ing legislation is necessar y to counter tax evasion). 
Given the role of this obser vatory, implementation of this preparatory action should be led by the Commission’s DG 
TAXUD, in close collaboration with other relevant DGs.

This preparatory action is a follo w-up to previous pilot projects and continues to address the issue of dual quality , 
taking fully into account the results of the pilot projects, thus ensur ing continuity . It focuses on exte nding the scope 
of research to include non-f ood products (e.g. detergents, cosmetics, toiletr ies and baby products, as provid ed for 
under the pilot projects), with samples from all Member States. In addition, it focuses on the feasibility of creating a 
permanent quality monitoring centre by Member States, NGOs or private sector initiatives etc. for products sold on 
the internal mark et, with a view to long-ter m action to resolve the issue of dual quality on the internal mark et. COMMISS ION

Remark s 
Com prising over 2 million businesses and emplo ying over 13 million people, the tour ism industr y represents 
appro ximat ely 7 % of total Union expor t earnings, making it the fourth largest expor t industr y in the Union. 
As tour ism represents a very large percentage of GDP for some Member States - for example appro ximately 14 % for 
Italy , Spain and France and appro ximat ely 16,5% for Portugal - its importance at national and European level is 
undeniable. 
Europe is the world’s number one tourist destination, but the pace of growth slowed down from 2019 due to 
uncer tainties surrounding Brexit, the collapse of Thomas Cook and other airline companies, and the COVID-19 
pandemic. Moreover , lessons have been learned from the past, e.g. from the terrorist attacks of the previous years and 
their negativ e impact on the tourism sector . All these unfortunat e cases show that the touris m sector is very fragile 
when it comes to excep tional circumstances and excep tional occur rences, leaving uncer tainties and having sometimes 
irreversible effects on the value chain - SMEs, tour operators, airline companies, hoteli ers, cateri ng sector and so on, 
creating a domino effect. 
In such excep tional circumstances consumers face reser vation cancellations, workers risk to be depr ived of their 
source of income, companies, in particular SMEs, need financial suppor t and liquidity and despit e some of the 
national state aid mech anisms, which offer added flexibility , there is a lack of legal certainty and no united Union 
response. The lates t events present the tour ism and travel sectors with major and evolving challenge s. The first 
immediate task is to ensure that travel and touris m are fully integra ted in national, regional and global emerg ency , 
mitig ation and suppor t packag es. This preparatory action focuses on touris m preparedness by putting in place 
mec hanisms at Union level to manag e future crises while engaging all relevant stak eholders. 
There is a need to improve risk assessment and crisis preparedness with both the public and private sector . At Union 
level there is no coherent, well-str uctured strateg y, which can form the basis of a European-wide crisis manag ement 
mec hanism. Nor is there a common plan of action with clear objectives, or an inclusive approac h with resource 
allocations and responsibilities. COMMI SSION

The Commission has put in place differ ent instr uments - flexibility of State aid measures, programmes suppor ting 
SMEs, the SURE programme, passeng er rights legislation and slot waiver of 80/20 principle. Some of those 
instr uments take the form of loans and guarantees and should be grant ed to the SMEs at a very low or zero inter est 
rate, and at least a 1-year grace period. However , a sing le crisis manage ment mec hanism is needed, with shared 
responsibility for the Union, the Member States and regional and local author ities, and they should all play key roles 
in managing and maintaining the tourism sector, in order to give a unif orm European response to future crisis. 
The general objective of the preparat ory action is to creat e a European crisis-manag ement mechanism for the tour ism 
sector which would include the follo wing elements: 
- a proper crisis-management financial pool, based on existing or newly created instr uments, whic h would facilitat e 
tourism enterprises’ access to financial suppor t and liquidity in all parts of the tour ism value chain during periods of 
crisis; 
- proper crisis-manag ement guidelines for passengers’ and consumers’ rights, based on current relevant legislation and 
also on exper ience and best practices; 
- analysis of existing rules to better cate r for times of excep tional circumstances (i.e: on passeng er rights, packag e 
travel, slots, State aid, visa rules, travellers’ taxes) ; 
- clear guidance for Member State s on coordinated repatr iation of Union citizens, in terms of alignment of travel advice 
with local, regional and national governments; 
- to provide guidelines and financial resources for planning post-cr isis communication campai gn and initiatives; 
- the creation of reliable measurement mec hanisms to serve as flash Eurobaromete rs during excep tional periods to 
understand the impact and enable adaptation to future trends; 
- to provide guidance to industr y on how to communicate with the media and with social netw ork based on good 
practices; 
- guidelines with additional measures based on good practices in the tourism sector during excep tional circumstances 
to ensure a full and speedy reco very. 
The operational objectives of the preparatory action are: 
- to creat e a two- fold structure mechanism, as a crisis management team for tour ism and travel; to be activat ed either 
under excep tional circumstances or when a particular operat or is under a specific imminent threat ; 
- to establish a professional body or author ise a pre-existing body , in co-operation with the European Parliament, the 
Commission, and the Committ ee of Regions, to be responsible for trigger ing the mec hanism; 
- to involve Member States on a volun tary basis, and to lead a structural dialogue with the Council; 
- to provide for efficient suppor t to the affect ed businesses in the tour ism sector and to suppor t and assist Member 
States in preventing and tackling unemplo yment in the tour ism sector , including by suppor ting online training during 
excep tional periods in which work is suspended; COMMISS ION

This preparatory action follows up on the success of the pilot project entitled: European Strategy for the Adr iatic and 
Ionian Region (EUSAI R) – generation and preparation of initiatives and projects with a genuine added value for the 
region as a whole. 
The Adr iatic Ionian Network of Universities, Regions, Chambers of Commerce and Cities (AI-NURECC) initiative 
involving key stakeholders in the Adriatic and Ionian regions, who have joined forces to suppor t implementation of 
the EUSAIR, will take more effective ownership of the EUSAIR’s main objectives and oppor tunities, at regional and 
local level, and foster the sound implementation of its action plan. 
The AI-NURECC initiative is being coordinated by the Conf erence of Peripheral Mar itime Regions with suppor t from 
four partners in the area: the Adriatic Ionian Euroregion, the Forum of Adriatic and Ionian Cities, the Forum of the 
Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce, and UniAdr ion. 
The initial AI-NURECC initiative ran for 18 months (ending in autumn 2018) and feedbac k from stak eholders and 
participants showe d the need for a second, exte nded initiative. 
The AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will run for 36 months. 
The AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will: 
— enhance regional and local author ities’ ownership of the EUSAIR’ s main objectives and oppor tunities, promoting 
an effic ient participatory and bottom-up approac h; 
— promote the development of sustainable tour ism, focusing on the eight priority activities for Thematic Stee ring 
Group (TSG) 4 as set out in the repor t in connection with the EUSAIR national touris m strategies on common 
priorities and actions in relation to the EUSAIR action plan – Pillar IV: ‘Sustainable Tourism’ – and suppor t the 
imp lementation of the activities in cooperation with TSG 4 members; 
— encourage multi-act or netw orking and collaboration among representatives of the private and public sector and 
civil society so as to: 
— foste r coordination of Union, national, regional and local policies to develop a circular economy; 
— work on territori al challeng es in specific Adriatic and Ionian territori es (mountains, islands and sparsely 
populated areas) by linking the EUSAIR to the new territorial agenda and suppor ting regions with specific 
territorial challenges (existing platf orms, young people in areas with territorial challenges ) with a view to 
establishing a dialogue; COMMISS ION

Inequalities are considered to be a cause of macroeconomic destabilisation and to reduce growth. Theref ore European 
and national action to correct inequalities affect ing children can be seen as a long-t erm policy for macroeconomic 
stabilisation and growth. Opening up oppor tunities can spur stronger economic performa nce and impro ve living 
standards. 
Fighting pover ty and social excl usion is one of the Europe 2020 targets: to reduce by at least 20 million the number of 
people in or at risk of poverty and social excl usion. However , between 2008 and 2014, the number of people at risk of 
poverty or social exclusion in the EU-27 increased from 116 million to 121 million; almost ever y fourth person in the 
EU-27 is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Amongst this group, child pover ty is alarming. In 2014, more than 
26 million children in the Union were at risk of poverty and more than nine million suffered from severe mater ial 
depr ivation. If no measures are take n to correct this situation, they will be at greate r risk of failing in the education 
syste m (Europe 2020 target for education) and will have the most difficulties in enter ing the labour mark et (Europe 
2020 target for emplo yment). The child guarant ee is an integrat ed approach to tackling child pover ty, aiming at fully 
implementing the Commission’s ‘Inves ting in Children’ recommendation, to ensure that ever y child in Europe at risk 
of poverty (including refug ees) has access to free health care, free education, free childcare, decent housing and 
adequat e nutr ition. Coveri ng these five areas of action through European and national action plans would ensure that 
the living conditions and oppor tunities of millions of children in Europe improve considerably and with a long-t erm 
perspective. The child guarant ee is a key horizontal policy and should be regarded as an investment in the stability 
and prosper ity of the Union, which is necessar y for preser ving the Union’s growth pote ntial. COMMISS ION

To mak e the child guarant ee a successful instr ument in the figh t against child poverty, Union financial suppor t should 
be put in place to ensure a coordinated effort together with Member States towards common goals with binding 
indicator s. This preparat ory action will lay down the imple menting framewor k for the child guarantee: 
(1) selecting compar ative measurable criteria to assign funds in accordance with the Commission’s ‘Investing in 
Children’ recommendation; 
(2) assessing existing national and Union inter ventions tackling multi-dimensional aspects of child poverty and 
mapping best practices; 
(3) delineating the typology of programmes to be funded; 
(4) establishing funding arrang ements; and 
(5) establishing govern ance mechanisms, including monitor ing and evaluation. 
This will be achi eved through independent research work, consultations with partners (e.g. governmental institutions, 
NGOs, academia, the private sector and the European Network of Ombudspersons for Children) and technical 
workshops . 
The first two years of this preparat ory action have been dedicat ed to mapping child pover ty in Europe, its mechanis ms 
and causes, and the feasibility and conditions for implementing the Child Guarante e, notably by analysing four specifi c 
groups of vulnerable children that are known to be particularly at risk (children in precar ious families, children 
residing in institutions, children of recent migrants and refug ees and disabled children, and other children with special 
needs). 
The third year of the preparat ory action will be dedicat ed to developing exper imental projects, putting into practice the 
results of previous analyses in order to test whether a child guarantee scheme could provid e a new approac h to 
reducing child poverty in a sustainable way and to determine whether a child guarant ee scheme can better suppor t 
vulnerable children and improve their education, health, housing, nutr ition and the labour mark et integration of 
parents where relevant. 
These projects will be carried out in the field, and will specifi cally verify, in concrete and controlled circumstances, the 
feasibility and effectiveness of a Union-wide initiative to suppor t social, economic and educational integration and to 
implement ‘lighthouse projects ’ as an exam ple for the whole Union. An example could be a project to test in practice 
how the provision of early education or decent housing could better integrat e children in poor areas. 
Between two and four groups of eligible applicants will be identif ied, as will the action areas to be covered by the child 
guarant ee schem e (education, childcare, healthcare, housing and nutr ition) in a specific community (mainly 
municipalities). The scheme will cover those groups over a period of six to 12 months. 
The outcome will be evaluated by a group of exper ts representing institutions, local author ities, agencies and other 
stak eholders, including civil society organisations. They will also examine the feasibility of a compr ehensive or 
integrated approach the ultimate aim of whic h would be to exte nd the child guarant ee scheme to all children. 
The results will serve as a basis for draf ting a proposal for establishing a European child guarant ee scheme and the 
financial suppor t for it. COMMI SSION

This preparatory action builds on the ‘European researc h grants for jour nalistic investigat ions, #IJ4EU’ project. 
Maintaining quality jour nalism and especially investig ative jour nalism, which is a particularly resource-intensive 
genre, has become more difficult in the changing media landscape. The preparatory action will strengthen the 
European public sphere and help creat e a European public discourse. In this context, the Commission issued an open 
call for proposals for an independent body to imple ment consecutive rounds of grants suppor ting jour nalistic 
investigat ions involving jour nalists from at least two Member States so as to ensure maximum independence and 
jour nalistic freedom. Results will be published in at least the Member States involved. 
The murders of Daphne Caruana and Ján Kuciak show that the work of investig ative jour nalists is becoming 
increasing ly difficult and that in the current political cont ext, and amid the changing media landscape, not only 
political and lega l suppor t, but also continued financial suppor t from the Union is essential.

Cultural venues are evolving to combine film, music, live performa nces, exhibitions and events and offer learning 
oppor tunities such as workshops on, for example, new technologies. Theref ore, the cinematic exper ience can be 
renewed, taking into account audiences’ needs and with a strong focus on attracting young audiences. The prototypes 
could be multifunctional venues for screenings, concer ts and performances that also provide scope for virtual-reality 
exper iences, gaming, debates, etc. 
This preparatory action may compl ement funding from the Europa Cinemas netw ork, which provi des training and 
netw orking oppor tunities as well as financial suppor t to theatres that screen an abov e-av erage number of non- 
national European films. 
The preparat ory action tests new cinema-going exper iences, while taking into account local audiences ’ needs, and 
focuses on: 
(a) improving cinema infrastr ucture (e.g. impro ving cinema accessibility), 
(b) audience development, 
(c) building communities through learning exper iences (offeri ng a wide rang e of learning activities), 
(d) testing new ways of rethinking the cinema exper ience and creating innovati ve cultural venues.

This preparatory action helps strengthen a wide rang e of civil society organisations, including some new actors not 
actively involved in fighting mone y launder ing and financial crimes, so as to build up their exper tise and capacity in 
connection with Union law and rules, enhance awareness -raising efforts and further develop tools and instr uments to 
fight mone y launder ing and financial crimes. In the light of the challenges revealed by the Panama Papers and Paradise 
Papers scandals and the fifth revision of the Anti-Money Launder ing Directive (prov iding public access to beneficial 
owner registe rs of compan ies and access to people with a legitimat e interest for benefi cial owners of trusts), it is 
apparent that the Union-level capacity of a wide rang e of organisations in this field (e.g. NGOs, trade unions and 
academic communities) needs to be booste d. Enhanced capacity building for research, training and awareness raising, 
alliance building (including with jour nalists) and great er involvement of civil society exper ts in the design and 
implementation of, and advoc acy for, action to combat mone y launder ing and financial crimes will create synergies 
with current Union efforts to put an end to such abusive and criminal practices.

Grassroots spor ts is a traditional and slowly evolving area. Society in general and individuals ’ needs and pref erences 
regar ding spor ts, howe ver, change more rapidly . Indeed, participation figures highlight a growing mismatch between 
the provision of oppor tunities for spor ts via traditional spor ts organisations and the demand for spor ts from 
individuals. The way in whic h spor ts associations and clubs are organised and their lack of inno vation prevents them 
from bridging this gap. This project will challeng e parties outside the traditional spor ts structure to propose 
inno vative solutions to bring spor ts supply into line with individuals’ demand at all levels, and provide a spor ts 
inno vation ecosystem to make it possible for new ways of playing spor ts to be offered to the general public faster. COMMI SSION

In order to produce a working innovati ve ecosystem for grassroots spor ts orga nisations, two things are needed: new , 
soft programmes offering spor ts in new ways, and a flexible spor ts infrastr ucture able to host differ ent spor ts at a 
sing le location. 
This preparatory action aims to identify and test multiple promising innovati ons in both catego ries. To achi eve this, 
inno vation chall enges will be organised that select and reward promising innovati ons by any interested party 
(institution, compan y, start-up, individual(s) or other parties), whic h can be introduced and tested over a substantial 
period (minimum six months). The funding will be invested in soft programmes and new (small) spor ts infrastr ucture. 
The final aim of the preparatory action is to include tested inno vations in the ecosyste m of existing spor ts clubs and 
infrastr ucture. Examples of soft programmes might be three-a-side football, cross-overs between diffe rent spor ts (e.g. 
fitness and football) or recur ring local mini-t ournaments. Examples of new small infrastr ucture inno vations might be 
flexible pitch line marking systems or sensors to indicate what pitch es are available and which is in current use. 
Successfully tested examples will be shared with European stake holders via an online platf orm, with the cooperation 
of European governing bodies such as UEF A. 
The action will: 
— unlock innovative solutions for non-traditional spor ts by orga nising open innovati on challeng es; 
— increase the number of people practising spor ts by offer ing new concep ts; 
— increase the use of existing spor ts infrastr ucture. 
The expecte d outcomes include: 
— a number of tested innovati ve soft programmes that can be integrated into grassroots spor ts clubs; 
— a number of tested innovati ve small infrastr ucture elements that can be incor porated into existing spor ts 
infrastr ucture; 
— new methods to increase spor ts participation through inno vation, which will have beneficial effects on public 
health and social integration; 
— learning how to include non-traditional stakeho lders in bringing innovati on to the spor ts landscape, to be shared 
through European association structures. 
Since the expect ed outcomes of this action include chang es to the existing spor ts infrastr ucture, it is not eligible under

Cultural diversity and identif ication of the proper cultural mix are of strategic imp ortance for creativity and 
inno vation. The cultural and creative industr ies (CCIs) in Europe emplo y more than 12 million people, or 7,5 % of the 
European workf orce, and creat e about EUR 509 000 000 000 in added value as a result, in particular , of the 
contr ibution made by small and micro enterprises. CCIs are a driving force generating a competitive advantag e for 
Europe, especially since they provide products and services that promote evolution of the production paradigms of 
Industr y 4.0. 
This preparatory action aims to define and test the policies and actions necessar y to sustain and develop these 
enterprises, whic h, with appropr iate suppor t, can generat e cross-benefits and spill-ov ers in all the areas and sectors 
with which these compan ies interface in achieving their business objectives. 
The thrust of the preparatory action involves four areas: 
1. A new model for analysing skills 
The model for recognising skills normally used in European training systems needs to be reviewed and updated to 
properly include the organisational model of those enterprises, which often have little hierarc hy, a broader tolerance 
for risk, a differ ent time-managem ent approach and strong disciplinar y interc hange, and which are theref ore not 
compat ible with the traditional manufactur ing paradigm. This new model for analysing and identifying skills 
compat ible with the Science, Techn ology , Engineer ing/En vironment, Arts, Manufacturin g (STEAM) areas seeks to 
creat e a privilege d relationship among virtuous compan ies, the most significant best practices, and success stori es, in 
order to identify and define both the skills and the charact eristics of the professionals who work in these areas. In 
other words, the genesis and evolution of those skills must be traced back, mov ing beyond the more widespread 
paradigm in which profess ionals are codified within analytical-descr iptive work processes (typical of manuf actur ing 
organisations), in order to obtain job descr iptions consistent with the distinctive organisational charact eristics of 
those compan ies. COMMI SSION

More specifically , the preparatory action is divided into the follo wing phases: 
— selecting ‘best practice ’ CCIs to be involved in the inve stigation to formulate a skill classificat ion model that 
recognises the special nature of the various sectors (hist orical and artistic heritage, conte nt industr y, ICT industr ies, 
and mat erials culture, including the macro-sectors of fashion, design and the taste industr y) and the regional 
dimensions of the Union, 
— developing a model for recognising skills, 
— testin g the model with a broader panel of enter prises, 
— releasing the model for codifying skills and associating them with profe ssionals in the light of the European 
framew ork on skills. 
2. Indications for the education syste m 
Nowada ys, the development of creative and cultural skills is the result of a process that is neither fully structured, nor 
entirely aligned with the needs for medium/long-te rm management of CCIs. The output generat ed by the skill 
recognition model would pave the way for the identif ication of aspects and issues in the education system with 
respect to the characteri stics of training programmes aimed at developing skills. In fact, the development of strateg ic 
skills for CCIs is often left to chance and individual initiative and inve ntiveness, or to informal processes, without a 
structural approac h derived from a vision that fosters a precise training policy and target ed programmes. 
The key goal of this phase of the action is to perpetuate these skills through the training system, so as to prepare more 
European citizens for operating effectively in the various business areas in whic h CCIs are involved. 
The guidelines should be structured in such a way that obser ving the specifi c nature of the national and regional 
education syste ms will guide their training programmes, from primar y training to tertiary education. Efforts should be 
made to impro ve the capability of the education system to communicate with CCIs and promote innovati ve training 
models (lear ning laboratori es, creative hubs, etc.). This should accompan y the formulation of guidelines to empo wer 
teachers to promote skill-based learning, going beyond a rigid system of disciplines and favouring a holistic and multi- 
disciplinar y approach. Centur ies of craftsmen’s traditions across Europe show the value of spending time gaining 
exper ience from diffe rent workshops as an impor tant part of the cultural and practical training of an aspirant mast er 
in creative artisanship. While the German ‘Wanderge selle ’ or the French ‘compagn on’ of the past were self-organised 
forms of learning, they highlight the need for a structured and common European approach to identify and transfer 
the elusive skills of CCIs. 
3. A new financial classification for CCIs 
Access to finance is a major obstacle to growth for many CCIs, whic h are generally small and often undercapitalised. 
The banking and financial system is slow to classify those enterprises within traditional system s, as most of them are 
founded on one prototype or sing le project and are heavily dependent on their products and services, on individual 
talent, and on assum ption of risks. Unlik e compan ies operating in the technological sectors, CCIs find it hard to 
obtain recognition of the value of their intangible assets on their balance sheets, and their investments in the 
development of new talent and creative ideas do not correspond to the usual concept of R&D. COMMISS ION

mec hanisms. The guidelines will be defined on the basis of a compari son of existing instr uments in European 
countr ies (e.g. Bancopass in Italy) that those enterprises are already using to communicate proactively with banks. 
4. Valuing and defe nding intellectual proper ty produced by CCIs 
Com panies that protect their intellectual activities are 22 % more productive (for the same territory , sector and size), 
with revenue growth 2 % higher than the sam ple average. Specifically , compan ies that filed a patent in 2011-2013 
have a 6,5 % higher percentage of expor ts to total revenue, for the same territory, size and sector . 
Because of the often under -structured orga nisation of CCIs, the registration or patenting of inno vations they are able 
to produce is not alwa ys a priority, thus diminishing the value of the results produced by that innovati on. It is 
theref ore essential to study how to make those industr ies — especially the small and medium-sized ones — more 
awar e of the benefits in term s of strong er impact deriving from the registration or patenti ng of their innovative 
products and services, and foster access to those oppor tunities, as these enterprises are often undercapitalised. 
Through a close tie-in with outputs emerging from a compar ison of best practices and instr uments descr ibed in point 
3, the preparatory action will take forward existing instr uments in European countr ies, which enterprises use to 
communicat e with banks , financia l bodies and institutions, involving specific items that can enhance the values of 
inno vation registration or pate nting. 
Framew ork development of the action 
The initiative is developed through the creation of European partnerships that enhance qualifi ed organisations’ 
exper tise in the various phases and activities that make up the action. The organisations that carry out the action 
should represent the main referen ce regions for CCIs and be equipped with the necessar y resources to maximise the 
action’s impact.

Jewish cemeter ies in Europe are a ubiquit ous form of cultural heritage; they testify to the multicultural histo ry of the 
continent and often serve as the sole such heritage in remote, rural areas. Protectin g that heritage inevitably brings 
together state actors, NGOs, local communities, Jewish communities and descendants, offering a unique oppor tunity 
to develop strong, cross-sectoral collaborative ties, strengthening and enriching local identity . 
Developing and implementing a bottom-up, decentralised form of protect ion theref ore serves as an entr y point for 
man y such localities into the broader infrastr ucture of conser vation, heritage manage ment and heritage -oriente d 
education. This being so, prote cting Jewish cemet eries is a key element for capacity building in the cultural sector , a 
more active and tolerant civil society , and a multi-scalar European heritage infrastr ucture.

In 2018, the Union adopt ed the New European Agen da for Culture, further developing the scope of the ’European 
Age nda for Culture in a Globalised World’ (2007). The New Age nda reaff irms that the cultural and creative sectors 
strengthen European identity , have the power to improve lives, transf orm communities, generat e jobs and growth, 
and create spillov er effects in other sectors . More precisely , one of the three strategic objectives of the New Agen da is 
to harness the power of culture and cultural diversity for social cohesion and well-being by promoting cultural 
participation, mobility of artists and protection of heritage. 
The document calls for researc h into cultural crossovers to assess impacts in diffe rent fields, including health and well-

Access to culture and participation in cultural life promot e individual empo werment, democratic consciousness and 
social cohesion through exchang es with other people and civic engagement. Changing user beha viour because of 
digitalisation, ageing and culturally diverse societies calls for a better understanding of diffe rent audiences. A strong er 
orientation towards the interests and needs of specific groups, such as young people, older people, people with 
disabilities, people with a migrant background and people living in pover ty or mater ial depr ivation, is necessar y. 
Digital technologies are an asset for audience development and innovative methods of participation. Cross-sectoral 
cooperation with other areas, such as education, social care, healthcare, science and technology , and regional and 
urban development, has a significant effect on cohesion and well-being. Special attention should be paid to the role of 
culture at local level, to the quality of architecture and the living environment and to culture-led social inno vations 
contr ibuting to the development of cities and regions across the Union. 
Target outputs: The exchange of exper ience and success stori es will help identify best practices. Synergies could be 
established with the Structural Funds, the Urban Agenda for the EU and its new Partnership on Culture and Cultural 
Heritage as well as with the UN Agenda 2030 and the OECD project on culture-led regional productivity and well- 
being. 
The preparatory action suppor ts: 
1. research into culture and well-being; 
2. trans-sectoral and trans-European cooperation with the aim of generating knowledg e, pilot projects and policy 
guidelines on how to enhance well-being through culture – the European Culture and Well-being Think Tank; 
3. exper imental work on the ground in pilot cities across Europe on methods, actions and measures to enhance the 
well-being of individuals and communities (quality of built envi ronments, quality of spaces for social inter action, 
quality of services for specific groups such as school pupils, children, the elderly and special needs groups); 
4. development of action and policy guidelines for cities, institutions and cultural actors on the effective use of culture 
for well-being; 
5. shar ing of kno wledge, increasing awareness and capacity of key players to use culture for well-being – local 
workshops in various cities in Europe and a large scale Culture and Well-Being Forum.

the monitor ing of national Roma integ ration strategies' (Item PP 07 14 01), whic h is near ing completion, and by drawing 
lessons from that project it continues, in an impro ved way, contr ibuting to the strengthening and further capacity 
building of Roma and pro-R oma civil society as well as to the monitori ng mechanis m regarding Roma inclusion, 
especially by producing and disseminating independent repor ts in which civil society coalitions could present 
alternative information and data to what is contained in the repor ts submitte d by Member State s concer ning the 
implementation of their strateg ies. These civil society repor ts could provid e local knowledg e to help national and 
European policy processes and reflect on the real social imp act of govern ment measures. 
Monitoring focuses on the local implementation of strateg ies in the four priority areas (emplo yment, education, 
housing, health), as regar ds anti-discr imination, combating anti-Gypsyism and promoting gender equality , and will 
also provid e information on the level of involvement of civil society , the use of Union funds and the mainstreaming of

With the deterioration of press and media freedom in Member States and candidate countr ies for several years in a row 
showi ng a worrying trend, it is crucial to continue providing concrete prot ection to jour nalists including fact-fi nding, 
advoc acy, monitori ng, informing the European public and awar eness-raising through the pan-European rapid 
response mechanism on violations of media freedom. 
The right to freedom of expression needs strong defence to prote ct democracy strengthen public discourse and 
guarant ee an enabling environment for investigative and independent jour nalists. 
The pan-European response mechanism on violations of press and media freedom will continue to make violations 
visible and provid e practical help to jour nalists under threat, in collaboration with European, regional and local 
stak eholders in the field of media freedom. The practical help must encomp ass tools to protect jour nalists under 
threat: providing direct advice and legal suppor t as well as offering shelt er and assistance so they can continue their 
profe ssion. Delegat es will be sent to affect ed countr ies and advoc acy will suppor t fighting impunity . Monitoring of the 
situation will provi de reliable and compre hensive information to the public as well as European author ities. This will 
help promoting aware ness raising and allow early warnings. Instr uments will be adjusted according to individual 
needs on a case-b y-case basis. This unique toolkit contained in the rapid response mec hanism will prevent further 
violations and will improve press and media freedom.

Remark s 
The work of independent media orga nisations and investig ative jour nalists is crucial to reveal wrongdoing throughout 
the Union and beyond its borders, including money launder ing and corrupti on. Quality inve stigative jour nalism 
requires proper tools and resources. Yet, investigat ive jour nalists are extremely vulnerable profess ionals with very 
limite d resources. 
The aim of this preparat ory action is to create an emerg ency suppor t fund for inve stigative jour nalists and media 
organisations to improve press and media freedom and to prevent violations thereof by suppor ting the production of 
quality independent jour nalistic cont ent in the public interest, including through cross-border cooperation. 
The preparatory action should build on the successful IJ4EU 2018 pilot project whic h aims to ensure continued trust 
in independent media sources and the prot ection of jour nalists across the Union by provi ding Union funding for 
cross-border investigative jour nalism in the public interest based on an exper t jury model. 
The preparatory action should promote pan-European, collaborative projects which contr ibut e to bottom-up change 
by modifying incentives for ethical and trusted jour nalism through innovative tools and processes. Such projects are 
particularly impor tant in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis when the capacity for dedicat ed suppor t of news 
organisations is limite d. 
Funding from this budget line should be accessible to professional organisations and associations, consor tiums, 
editor s, publishers as well as freelancers provi ded that they meet adequate criteria. To meet the needs of media 
organisations and to safeguard media independence, funding should inter alia be provid ed to cover expenditure for 
fact-fi nding missions, for training and tools contr ibuting to the development of inve stigative capabilities, for 
TV-related investigative projects, for the subscr iption to software programmes correlating data and databases, and for 
the production of expensive documents required to suppor t an investigat ion. Subject to strict conditions, the

This preparatory action prepares implementation of the common agricultural policy (CA P) post-2020 and 
compl ements the previous Smar t Eco Social Villages pilot project (2016) and the preparatory action ‘Smar t rural areas 
in the 21st centur y’ (2018). It helps inform and improve the development and implementation of CAP strateg ic plans 
for whic h the notion of ‘Smar t Villag es’ is included in a result indicator . Com plementing the pilot project on Smar t 
Eco-Social Villag es and the preparatory action ‘Smar t rural areas in the 21st centur y’, this preparat ory action provi des 
kno wledge, kno w-how and a framew ork methodology for developing suppor t schemes for Smar t Village s in a wider 
rang e of socio-economic contexts. It uses the lessons learned and kno wledge obtained from initiatives provided for in 
the EU Action for Smar t Villag es. As the new CAP is meant to increase subsidiar ity, such work is a fundamental 
prerequisite for ensur ing appropr iate implementation of this aspect of rural development. The goal of the preparat ory 
action is to implement successful practices in a number of Member State s, including in the field of ICT and online 
methods such as the setting up of digital hubs and other good examp les. It also sets up a netw ork of sam ple villages 
(and people dealing with smar t villag es) in order to creat e a coherent methodological framework for Union suppor t 
for Smar t Village s. This concept is closely linked to the Digital Sing le Mark et, digital platf orms, urban-r ural link s, the 
shar ing and collaborative economy and the bioeconomy (innov ation, precision farming, environmental manag ement, 
renewable energies, supply chain, services, local food), impro ving quality of life, education and emplo yment, as well as 
taking account of the importance of women and young people. It could also help inform implementation of other 
European Structural and Investment Funds, in particular under the policy objective for local initiatives. 
These goals are fully in line with the Cork Declaration 2.0, as well as the Bled declaration, whic h recognize the 
importance of enabling access to appropr iate technologies and solutions in order to deliver economic, social and 
environmental benefi ts. 
The preparat ory action focuses on developing a method to promote growth and jobs in rural areas through concrete 
actions on the basis of select ed village s with common features — infrastr ucture, various resources, services, and 
access to markets. It develops methods for offer ing solutions in the fields of: 
— the Digital Sing le Market, 
— urban-r ural link s, 
— the bioeconomy and circular economy (innovation, precision farming, environmental management, local 
renewable energies, supply chain, services, local food), 
— shar ing and collaborative economy (e.g. new rural mobility solutions such as car shar ing and ride shar ing; new 
paradigms in tourism; shar ing and exchange of agricultural machi nery and services), 
— technology (e.g. the Intern et of Things, big data collection, drones, electr ic vehicles, and next-generation mobile 
broadband connections), 
— social aspects, 
— new full-time and part-time jobs, which will expand in the types of economy referred to. COMMISS ION

Europe is a key market for the global cruise industr y. In 2015 the global cruise industr y carried 25 300 000 
passeng ers, accounting for 956 597 jobs and generating total spending of USD 117 000 000 000 worldwide. The 
demand for cruise travel increased by 62 % in the ten years from 2005 to 2015. 
All of this translate s into economic value and jobs for Europe. However , the coastal and mar itime regions need to 
creat e conditions to better integrat e the advantag es of cruise touris m. With that in mind, the preparat ory action will 
establish a Char ter of Good Practices for Cruises on the basis of the existing pan-European dialogue between cruise 
operat ors, ports and coastal tour ism stakeholders. The focus should be on the environmental impact of receiving 
cruiseships, but also on the social impact and the way in whic h recep tion facilities at ports and in the regions 
concer ned are to be adap ted. This charter will cover the following: 
— a design for a process to integra te all the mar itime stak eholders involved, 
— environmental aspects and mitig ation policies to reduce exte rnalities, 
— social and economic dimension of cruises in the regions concer ned, 
— need for coordination between cruise ports and cities, 
— best practices already in place. COMMI SSION

The preparatory action suppor ts the implementation of a Union-wide monitori ng scheme for wild insect pollinat ors in 
Member State s and constr uction of associate d indicators . 
Pollinat ors are an integral part of healthy ecosyste ms and their dramatic decline is a serious cause for concer n. In 
Europe, animal pollination is primar ily delivered by insects: around 2 000 bee species, 900 hoverfly species, 
500 butterf ly species and 8 000 moth species. Other fly species, wasps and beetles also play an impor tant pollination 
role. Without them, many plant species would decline and eventually disappear , with far-reaching consequences for 
nature and human wellbeing. In the Union, four out of five crop and wild flowering plant species depend, at least in 
part, on animal pollination. Up to EUR 15 billion of the Union’s annual agricultural output is directly attributed to 
insect pollinat ors; they are widely regarded as one of the most impor tant indicators of a healthy environment. 
On 1 June 2018, the Commission adopt ed the EU Pollinat ors Initiative, followi ng calls from the European Parliament 
and the Council for action to tackle the widely ackno wledged dramatic decline of pollinat ors. The initiative lays down 
a number of actions to address known causes of the decline, but also focuses on strengthening the knowledg e base. It 
emphasises the imp ortance of a systemic approach to collection of data and information on pollinat ors, in order to 
evaluate policy actions and improve their effectiveness. While in some areas there is a reasonable level of knowledg e 
(decline of butt erflies, the poor state of their habitats and the drivers of declines), knowledg e gaps remain overall with 
regar d to the status of and trends for most pollinat or populations, as well as the causes and consequences of their 
decline. A coordinated monitoring process at Union level, powered by a standardised field data collection, will make it 
possible to close the critical gaps and develop robust indicators to under pin impactful Union policies for pollinat ors. 
Pollinat or indicators will in particular be essential for a new EU post-2020 biodiversity framew ork and the new 
common agricultural policy (CAP). Pollinat ors are a high-prof ile topi c in the work of the UN Conv ention on 
Biological Diversity , whic h sets a global framew ork of actions on biodiversity , and to which the UN Food and 
Agriculture Org anisation actively contr ibut es. This culminated in the first global repor t on pollinat ors issued by the 
Intergover nmental Science-P olicy Platf orm on Biodiversity and Ecosyst em Services in 2016. It is expected that 
pollinat ors will feature in targe ts for the future global biodiversity framewor k. Apar t from the fact that pollinat ors 
represent a targe t on their own mer it, pollinat or indicators will also help measure progress towards a number of other 
biodiversity target s, including those relating to the EU Habitats Directive, the Natura 2000 netw ork, agriculture and 
forestr y. COMMI SSION

As stipulat ed under Action 5C of the EU Pollinators Initiative, the Commission will include a pollinat or indicator in the 
perf ormance and monitoring framew ork of the CAP once it has been finalised and is operational. Such an indicator 
would be an invaluable addition to the indicator framewor k in the Commission proposals for the CAP 2021-2027: 
insect pollinat ors are a good proxy for wider biodiversity and an essential factor in agricultural production. Because of 
this dual role, pollinat or indicator s would be also an excellent addition to the monitori ng framew ork for the 
implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Union, in particular Goals 15 ( ‘Life on land’) and 2 
(‘Zero hunge r’). The grassland butterf ly indicator is already included in that framewor k and this action will help 
under pin the sustainability of butt erfly monitor ing and indicator repor ting across the Union. 
While the monitori ng and indicators developed under the EU Pollinat ors Initiative address wild pollinat or species, they 
will also greatly benefit honeybee health and the beek eeping sector. Managed and wild species share food/f orag e 
resources as well as the main pressures on their populations. Monitoring of wild species will provide not only good 
information about the quality of the environment for all pollinat ors, but also essential data for research into various 
pressures and their interplay. This is crucial for devising effective mitig ation actions and suppor ting effective reco very. 
Beyond this fundamental contr ibution to policy-making, data and information generated by the monitori ng scheme 
would enable development of tools for land managers, in particular farmers. Data on the status of pollinat or species, 
paired with good crop data (for example as per outputs of Action 3B of the EU Pollinat ors Initiative), would enable 
development of an atlas of pollinat ors and pollination or an early warning system for pollination deficit. These would 
help farmers, whose yields and profits essentially depend on pollinators, to mak e informed decisions on how to secure 
this agricultural input and mitig ate risks relating to the decline of insect pollinators. 
Further more, it would also enable tools for actor s higher up the biomass chain, such as risk assessment and 
manag ement tools for food and drink manufacturers , suppliers or retailers whose products and services depend on 
pollinat or-dependent agricultural produce. In this way, good data and information on pollinat ors would suppor t the 
bioeconomy agenda more broadly . The 2018 update of the Bioeconomy Strateg y includes an action that would 
suppor t the development of such tools, with a view to facilitating integration of pollinat ors into supply value chains 
(Action 3.3.4). 
The scope of an EU pollinator monitori ng scheme is expected to cover at least the main taxonomic groups: bees, 
hoverflies, butterf lies and moths. At the moment, the only systemic Union-level monitori ng of any pollinat or group is 
conduct ed for butterf lies in half the Member States. In 2018, the Union funded the pilot project on Union butt erfly 
monit oring and indicators (ABLE) to expand that monitor ing scheme. This preparatory action builds on that pilot 
project to ensure full Union coverag e with regard to monitor ing butterf lies, and will help establish the first-ever 
Union-level monitor ing processes for other pollinat or groups. 
The Commission expects to launch a technical exper t group in May 2019, mandated to devise an Union-wide 
pollinat or monit oring scheme and pollinat or indicator s by May 2020. With a view to implementing the monitori ng 
sche me and enabling the flow of data to build indicators as early as in 2021, it will be crucial to kick off the necessar y 
preparations in Member States. Many Member State s are expect ed to face challenges as regards administrative and 
academic capacities, meaning that successful implementation will help by focusing efforts early on. COMMISS ION

Despit e the considerable impact of various environmental pollutants, in particular pesticides, on human wellbeing and 
nature, there are still major data and information gaps regarding exposure. Honey bees come into contact with diverse 
matr ices due to their biological needs and beha viour . Dur ing their wide-ranging foraging activity (up to 15 km radius) 
they are exposed to pollutants present in the atmosphere, soil, vegeta tion and water . Numerous plants are visited ever y 
day to collect nectar , secretions from sap-f eeding insects, pollen and/or water , while plant gums are collected for 
propolis production. While flying they also come into contact with airbor ne particles, which stick to their body hairs 
or are inhaled via spiracles. Contaminants are brought back to the beehives and may be found in bee products, such as 
hone y, wax, propolis, pollen and bee bread. Honey bees and their products could also be an excellen t tool for 
monit oring other environmental pollutants besides pesticides, such as heavy metals, particulate matter , volatile 
organic compounds and sulphur dioxide. 
Honey bees are already used as bioindicator s of the level of environmental contamination. Studies have been 
perf ormed using bees and bee products as biological monitor ing instr uments to measure envi ronmental quality . 
Various levels of environmental monitoring with hone y bees have already been descr ibed, with varying degrees of 
compl exity and sensitivity . Promp ted by concer n for hone y bee colony losses, beek eepers, beek eeper technicians and 
scientists in parts of Europe began analysing the contaminant cont ent of bees and bee products. The results are often 
the same: bees are exposed to a wide variety of contaminants simultaneously and consecutively . 
Further more, there are considerable knowledg e gaps as regards plant species richness and abundance across various 
landscapes in the Union. Such knowledg e is essential for evaluation of habitat quality as well as evaluation of 
pressures that differ ent land uses may exer t on habitats. Collection and analysis of pollen from beehives offers a 
promising avenue to gather inva luable data and information that can help to close those knowledg e gaps. 
Environmental data and information generated through monitori ng using hone y bees would suppor t Union policies in 
the following areas: 
— public health and food safety ; 
— plant and animal health, including bee health; 
— agriculture rural development, including beekeepi ng; 
— agricultural production and food secur ity;

In this way, environmental monit oring through hone y bees would contr ibute towards the achi evement of the 
Sustainable Development Goals in the Union, in particular Goals 2 ( ‘Zero hunger ’), 3 (‘Good health and wellbeing’), 
12 (‘Responsible consump tion and production’), 14 (‘Life below water ’) and 15 (‘Life on land’). 
In 2018, the Union funded the pilot project ‘Environmental monitori ng of pesticide use through hone y bees’. This 
preparat ory action builds on that pilot project. It will further expand the scope to other environmental pollutants as 
well as monitori ng of plant diversity . The preparatory action is a citizen science project in which beekeepers will play 
a key role by collecting samples from beehives. 
Activities of the preparat ory action: 
— The preparat ory action funds Union-wide implementation of the monitori ng methodology currently being 
developed and tested by the pilot project. Further more, the action looks to expand the monitoring to include 
other environmental pollutants and plant diversity . 
Specifically , activities under this preparatory action will: 
— explore how to expand the monitori ng prot ocol to include environmental pollutants besides pesticides, and 
develop relevant modules; 
— imp lement the monitoring protocol by sam pling beehives across various land uses in all Member States; 
— carry out chemical and pollen analysis of samples; 
— develop IT infrastr ucture to creat e, store, manage , process and share data; 
This preparat ory action will run for three years and will have a budget of EUR 4 000 000. COMMI SSION

This appropr iation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the 
preparat ory action. 
This preparat ory action evaluates the chang es in biodiversity status in Europe, and at Union and pan-European levels, 
addressescluste red drivers of decline and monitor the impact of conser vation measures and policy action. It is an 
important contr ibution to the final evaluation of the EU Biodiversity Strateg y and the post-2020 biodiversity 
framew orks. The proposed approach combines the mobilisation of dedicat ed knowledg e netw orks and data with the 
use of an established metr ic, the Internati onal Union for Conser vation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI), so as to 
updat e existing European Red Lists (ERL) and assess status change s in species, with the aim of informing sector al and 
land use policies, whic h is critical for refining the scope of their action. 
In Europe, the risk of extinction of species has increased dramatically over the last 20 years. While the drivers of these 
declines are largely known for some groups of organisms, and conser vation measures and policies have been 
implemented to prevent the continuation of these down ward trends, data and knowle dge on species trends and 
threats are either non-exist ent or not easily accessible, species status indicators have not been systematically produced, 
and the geograp hical scope of conser vation and policy action has been uneven. This makes it more difficult to 
understand the impact of specifi c reco very measures and poses a challenge to measur ing Union’s progress against 
regionally and internati onally agreed targets to halt biodiversity loss. 
The IUCN RLI is a widely accept ed metr ic for measur ing chang es in extinction risk globally and has been adopt ed as an 
official indicator of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets. As 
such, it was recently used to assess regional trends in mammals, birds and amphibia ns for Europe and Central Asia in 
the regional assessment repor t of the Intergover nmental Science-P olicy Platf orm on Biodiversity and Ecosyst em 
Services and is proposed to be used in the post-2020 global biodiversity framew ork. The RLI uses data from the IUCN 
Red List of Threatened Species, which in Europe has assessed over 11 000 species since 2006 at two regional levels: for 
geographic Europe, and for the Union. For mar ine species, the area covered by the assessments includes the 
Medite rranean, the Black, Baltic and Nor th Seas, and the European part of the Atlantic Ocean (i.e. territorial wate rs 
and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), including the EEZs of the Macaronesian Islands belonging to Portugal and 
Spain). However , IUCN Red List assessments become offici ally outdate d after 10 years and no taxonomic group has 
ever been reassessed at the Union and pan-European levels. Theref ore, it is vital that species be regularly reassessed to 
obtain a reliable and meaningful indicator of European biodiversity trends and threat abate ment over time for more 
widespread evidence-inf ormed policy-making. COMMISS ION

CHAPTER PA 09 — ENVIR ONMENT AND CLIMA TE ACTION (cont'd) 
PA 09 20 (cont'd)     EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union L 93/1676                                                                                                                                       17.3.2021   
The preparatory action uses the IUCN RLI to estimate the aggregat e extinction risk for almost all taxa assessed to date 
by the IUCN Red List of Threat ened Species at the Union and pan-European levels. These include vertebrates 
(mammals, amphibi ans, reptiles and freshwater fish), invertebr ates (non-mar ine molluscs, butterf lies, sapro xylic 
beetles, dragonf lies and bees) and plants (vascular and medicinal). The IUCN RLI can measure whether the rate of 
biodiversity loss has been reduced in Europe, helping to improve the effectiveness of conser vation measures applied 
on the ground while assessing progress in implementing Union policies and legislation, such as the current EU 
Biodiversity Strateg y – particularly Target 1, which aims to increase the protection of species and their habitats by 
fully implementing the Union’s Directives in the field of nature – as well as informing policy targe ts in the post-2020 
agenda. These reassessments should be aligned with the policy cycle (e.g. 2010 Biodiversity Action Plan, EU 
biodiversity policy to 2020, 2030 Biodiversity Strateg y, etc.). 
The overall methodology for species reassessments will be based on the existing Red List assessments. Some 
preliminar y work will be needed to collect the necessar y information and updat e the assessments. Assessment 
workshops will take place only to review the Red List status of the most endangered species, and so they are expecte d 
to be fewer in number than for a typical assessment exercise, and, consequently , cheaper . The duration of these 
workshops will vary from one to four days, depending on the number of species to be assessed. Taxonomic 
kno wledge, exper tise and data will be mobilised through engag ement with the relevant Specialist Groups of the IUCN 
Species Survival Commission (SSC), and with IUCN staff leading the global assessment by these groups. Additional 
consultation with and engag ement of local and internati onal exper ts will be key to the success of the activities, and so 
this action has a huge poten tial for galvanising local kno wledge hubs and for capacity building (through workshops ). 
The IUCN Red List typically makes species assessments and distr ibution maps freely available on its website, and all 
the newly collected information will be uploaded to the European Environment Agen cy (EEA) Biodiversity Data 
Centre. Any additional detailed time series data on population abundance and distr ibution for the proposed groups of 
species collected under this action will be made available, subject to the term s established in legal data shar ing 
agreements with existing monitori ng schem es to clarify intellectual proper ty rights and rights of access to data, in an 
integrated database that can directly contr ibut e to an integrat ed monitori ng system for biodiversity and ecosystems to 
be developed by the Commission and the EEA. 
DELIVERABLES 
The reassessments will provid e four main deliverables: 
(1) An ERL publication for each group of species (Union and pan-European levels), provi ding an overview of the 
analyses under taken and the results of the reassessment process, including exam ples of species with positive, stable 
and nega tive trends as shown by the RLI, a compilation of conser vation successes and failures, with key messages and 
recommendations tailored to the main sector s responsible for actions taking place across Europe that continue to 
suppor t and/or threaten species conser vation. These will be critical to impro ving biodiversity mainstreaming across 
non-stat e actors and informing the general public as to whic h actions and behaviours will benefit European 
biodiversity and promote ecosyste m services and, hence, human wellbeing. The final reassessments for each species 
will also be present ed in updated factsheets on the IUCN website . The advantage s of uploading the factsheets to the 
Red List website are: access to all ERL data in one place; access to the most up-to-dat e assessments beyond the scope 
of this action whic h benefit from new information being incor porat ed by the SSC Exper t Netw ork; and a comparison 
with global and other regional assessments for the same species. In line with previous ERL publications, the updated 
assessments will be in full colour with figures and photos throughout, and the publications will also be designed to 
minimise down load times for the PDF version. The publications will be delivered in print (300 copies) as well as in 
electronic formats (Word and PDF). COMMI SSION

(2) Integration of update d Red List databases into the EEA Biodiversity Data Centre and its hosting infrastr ucture. All 
the information collect ed to estimate the RLI (population size, distr ibution, demographic trends, habitats, threats) will 
be used to updat e the current species assessments in the Species Information Service, and expor ted to Microsof t 
Access databases (per taxonomic group), whic h will then be formatt ed in accordance with the requirements of the 
EEA Biodiversity Data Centre, where they will be made available. 
(3) Preparation of text for the Europa website. A new tab under the current index available for each ERL assessment on 
the Europa website showing the results of the RLI for each taxonomic group will be created and the respective text will 
be prepared in parallel with the ERL publications. The current structure (i.e. titles and subtitles) as developed for 
previous ERL projects might require revision to bette r encapsulate and profile the efforts for, and results of, systemat ic 
monit oring and of the RLI. 
(4) ‘The pulse of European biodiversity’ brochur e summar ising the findings of the reassessments and the RLI, 
highlighting the impor tance of biodiversity monit oring and long-ter m trends, clusteri ng drivers of threat to provi de 
key messages to the societal sectors with the great est imp acts, and celebrating cases of conser vation success. It is 
important that positive message s be included to help create the optimistic social movement that will enable chang e. 
The brochure will be produced in line with the Commission’s visual identity guidelines. It will have broad appeal and 
will be used to communicate with policymak ers and the interest ed public. It will also be an impor tant communication 
tool for the media and will provide DG Environment with a very useful tool that can be widely distr ibut ed to other 
DGs and stakeholders, and used in awareness-raising campaigns. The brochur es will be delivered in print

The main objective of the preparatory action is to turn the European drought obser vatory into an organisation with 
institutional capacity and human and mater ial resources, so that a university netw ork, R&D units, compan ies from the 
productive sector and civil society can operate efficiently and effectively . 
This European obser vator y will carry out researc h into the origins and consequences of droughts. 
The aim is also to combine human resources and scientific and technical knowledg e in order to provi de information 
(analysis of statistics and trends) and methodologies for handling and adapting productive resources to the realities 
and needs of each region and each specifi c agricultural production type, and to provid e assistance and advisor y

In view of the alarming data contained in repor ts such as the European Drug Repor t 2019, there is an urgent need for 
strong er Union-wide coordinat ed action on monitor ing the Darknet to count er rising threats from criminal activities 
such as trafficking and distr ibution of drugs and other illegal substances, illegal arms trading and human traff ickin g. 
Hard-t o-track communication on the Darknet has become a key element of such illegal operations, especially cross 
border , and its effective monitori ng remains a challeng e for Member State law enforcement author ities. Not all 
Member State law enforcement author ities possess adequate means to system atically monitor the Darknet or 
effectively coordinate joint Union actions and cooperation in this area, but examples of good practices and results do 
exist, albeit fragment ed and uneven across the Union. 
This preparatory action aims to develop software and hardware for efficient Darknet monitoring at Union level, whic h 
will be made available to the Union and Member State law enforcement author ities, together with training and

Under the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area the EFTA State s (with the excep tion of Switzerland) 
take part in a wide rang e of Union policies covered by headings 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the multiannual financia l 
framew ork in exchange for a financia l contr ibution to operating appropr iations calculated by applying a 
‘propor tionality factor ’. This propor tionality factor is equal to the sum of the ratios obtained by dividing the gross 
domestic product at mark et prices of each EFTA State by the gross domestic product at mark et prices of all the 
Member State s plus that of the EFTA State concer ned. 
For 2021 the propor tionality factor is estimat ed at 2,70 % (on the basis of 2019 figures), i.e. 2,51 % for Nor way, 0,15 
% for Iceland and 0,04 % for Liecht enstei n. 
These financial contr ibutions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in 
whic h the EFTA States take part will refer to the EFTA contr ibution as a memorandum item. A summar y table, listing 
the budget headings concer ned and the amounts of the EFTA contr ibution for each budge t heading, is published as an 
annex to the general budget of the Union. The total EFTA contr ibution for the operational part for 2021 is estimate d at

Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1). 
Council Regulation (EC) No 1360/2008 of 2 December 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 establishing a facility 
provid ing medium-ter m financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 352, 31.12.2008, p. 11). 
Council Decision 2009/290/EC of 20 Januar y 2009 provid ing Community medium-t erm financia l assistance for Latvia 
(OJ L 79, 25.3.2009, p. 39). 
Council Decision 2009/459/EC of 6 May 2009 providing Community medium-te rm financial assistance for Romania 
(OJ L 150, 13.6.2009, p. 8). 
Council Regulation (EC) No 431/2009 of 18 May 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 establishing a facility provid ing 
medium-te rm financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 128, 27.5.2009, p. 1). 
2. Descr iption 
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the Union may grant loans to Member States which are exper iencing, or are 
seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital mov ements. Only Member States whic h have 
not adopt ed the euro may benefit from this facility . The outstanding amount of loans was limite d to EUR 12 000 000 000 in 
principal. 
On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 25 000 000 000. 
On 20 Januar y 2009, the Council decided to provid e Community medium-t erm financial assistance for Latvia in the form of a 
medium-te rm loan of a principal of up to EUR 3 100 000 000 for a maximum average matur ity of 7 years.

4. Effect on the budget 
Since the entr y into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom ) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarante e Fund for 
external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Eurat om) No 480/2009 
(OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1), any defaults are covered by that fund 
within the limit of the amount available. 
The effect on the budget is thus limited to: 
— one annual payment to or, excep tionally , from the Guarant ee Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed 
operations, 
— activation of the budge t guarant ee should the debt or default, 
— the granting, in a series of cases, of interest-rat e subsidies of 2 % in non-repa yable aid, subject to the overall amounts laid down 
by the Financial Prot ocols. 
Loans with new Member States cease to be extern al actions (see Regulation (EC, Eurat om) No 2273/2004 of 22 December 2004 
amending Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, 
p. 28)) and are theref ore covered directly by the Union budget and no longer by the Guarant ee Fund. COMMISS ION

2. Descr iption 
Article 122(1) TFEU allows the Council to decide, on a proposal from the Commission and in a spirit of solidar ity between 
Member States, upon the measures appropr iate to respond to the socio-economic situation following the COVID-19 outbreak. 
Article 122(2) TFEU enables the Council to grant Union financial assistance to a Member State that is in difficulties or is seriously 
threatened with severe difficulties caused by excep tional occur rences beyond its control. 
The creation of a European instr ument for temporar y suppor t to mitig ate unemplo yment risks in an emerg ency (SURE) following 
the COVID-19 outbreak should enable the Union to respond to the crisis in the labour market in a coordinat ed, rapid and effective 
manner and in a spirit of solidar ity among Member States, thereby alleviating the impact on emplo yment for individuals and the 
most affect ed economic sectors and mitig ating the direct effects of this excep tional situation on public expenditure by the Member 
State s. 
Article 220(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 (1) states that financial assistance by the Union to Member State s can take 
the form of a loan. Such loans should be grant ed to Member States where the COVID-19 outbreak has led to a sudden and severe 
increase, as from 1 Febr uary 2020, in actual and possibly also planned public expenditure due to national measures. That date 
ensures equal treatment for all Member States and allows for coverag e of their actual and possibly also planned increases in 
spending relating to the effects on the labour mark ets of the Member State s, irrespective of when the COVID-19 outbreak 
occur red in each specific Member State. The national measures, which are underst ood to be in line with the relevant fundamental 
rights principles, should be directly relat ed to the creation or extension of shor t-time work schemes and to similar measures, 
including measures for self-emplo yed persons, or to some health-related measures. Shor t- time work sche mes are public 
programmes that in certain circumstances allow businesses exper iencing economic difficulties to temporar ily reduce the hours 
worked by their emplo yees, who are provided with public income suppor t for the hours not worked. 
Article 5 of Council Regulation (EU) 2020/672 of 19 May 2020 states that the maximum amount of financial assistance shall not 
exceed EUR 100 000 000 000 for all Member State s. COMMI SSION

3. Effect on the budget 
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a massive and disruptive impact on the economic syste m of each Member State . It theref ore calls 
for collective contr ibutions by Member State s in the form of guarant ees suppor ting the loans from the Union budget . Such 
guarant ees are necessar y to enable the Union to grant loans of a sufficient order of magnitude to Member States in order to 
suppor t labour mark et policies which are under the greate st strain. To ensure that the contingent liability arising from such loans 
is compati ble with the applicable multiannual financial framew ork and own-resources ceilings, the guarant ees provided by the 
Member States should be irrevocable, unconditional and on demand, while additional safeg uards should enhance the robustness 
of the system. In line with the complementary role of such guarant ees, and without prejudice to their irrevocable, unconditional 
and on-demand nature, the Commission is expected, before calling on the guarant ees provid ed by Member States, to draw on the 
margin available under the own-resources ceiling for payment appropr iations to the extent that it is deemed sustainable by the 
Commission, having regar d, inter alia, to the total contingent liabilities of the Union, including under the balance of payments 
facility established by Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (1). In the relevant call on guarantees, the Commission should inform the 
Member States about the extent to which the available margin has been drawn. The need for guarant ees provided by Member 
State s may be reviewed if an agreement on a revised own-resources ceiling is reach ed. 
Since both parts of these borrowi ng-and-lending operations are carried out on identical term s, they affect the budget only if the 
guarant ee is activated in case of default. As at 31 December 2020 the outstanding capital amount under this instr ument is 
EUR 39 500 000 000. COMMISS ION

(*) Matur ity lengthening operations for Portugal and Ireland are expect ed for 2021 with EUR 9,75 billion of loans coming due in June (EUR 5 billion) 
and Sept ember (EUR 4,75 billion). The total outstanding amount for EFSM will remain EUR 46 800 million. 
(**) The EUR 5 000 000 000 loan raised in 2015 corresponds to the lengthening and refinancing of a loan of 2011 (see 1.4.1. Technical notes on 
tables). 
(***) The EUR 4 750 000 000 due from Portugal in Apr il 2016 have been lengthened as request ed. 
(****) The EFSM loan to Ireland of EUR 3 400 000 000 disbursed in March 2011 (due on 4 Apr il 2018) was refinanced and extended. Another two 
EFSM loans of EUR 500 000 000 (Ireland) and EUR 600 000 000 (Portugal) disbursed in October 2011 and due on 4 October 2018 were 
refinanced and exten ded.   
Technical notes on tables 
Exchang e rate: the amounts in column 2 ‘Equivalent at date of disbursement’ are conver ted at the rate applicable on the date of signature. 
As regards refinan cing operations, Table 1 shows both the initial operation (e.g. in 1979) and the replacement operation (e.g. in 1986), 
the amount for the latte r being conver ted at the rate of the initial operation. The resulting duplication affects the annual figures but is 
eliminated in the tota l. 
All other amounts are conver ted at the rate applicable at 31 December 2020. 
Column 3 ‘Initial amount paid up to 31 December 2020’: with referen ce to 1986, for example , this column shows the cumulative tota l of 
all amounts received up to 31 December 2020 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some 
duplication). 
Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2020’: these are net figures, with no duplication as a result of refinan cing operations. 
They are obtained by subtracting from the column 3 figure the cumulative total of repa yments made up to 31 December 2020, 
including repa yments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables). COMMI SSION

Introduction to the new nomenclature post-2020 
The new programmes of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027 as present ed by the Commission in the 
communications of May 2018 (1) and 2020 (2) have required a substantial chang e in the way the budget is structured. The Commission 
has taken this oppor tunity to make the budget nomenclature clearer , more informative and better aligned with the new MFF headings 
and programmes. 
From 2021, the budget nomenclature is structured by programme cluster (policy area) corresponding to the ‘pur pose ’ within the 
meaning of Article 47 of the Financial Regulation. 
The first 15 titles correspond to the programme cluster s within MFF headings 1 to 6 as present ed in the MFF 2021-2027 proposals of 
May 2018 and 2020. Title 16 includes expenditure outside the annual ceilings set out in the MFF , mainly special instr uments. 
Within these first 16 titles, the structure in chapt ers has been harmonised as follo ws: 
— Chapt er 01 groups the suppor t expenditure financed from the envelopes of the programmes included in the title as required by the 
Financial Regulation.  
The suppor t expenditure of each programme is classif ied in articles (and further broken down to item level where necessar y) 
follo wing the sequence of the operational chap ters.  
The operating subsidies of executi ve agencies charged to the envelopes of the programmes delegat ed to them are presented under 
standardised items allowing them to be easily identif ied across the whole nomenclature: XX 01 XX 6X. 
— Chapt ers 02 to 07 (number varying from one title to another) group the operational expenditure of the programmes included in the 
title, broken down in articles (and items) that correspond to the specif ic objectives defined in the sectoral legal bases. 
— Chapt er 10 groups the Union contr ibutions to the decentralised agencies included in the title. 
— Chapt er 20 groups the follo wing types of expenditure: 
— Article 01 includes the total expenditure of the pilot projects of the title; 
— Article 02 includes the total expenditure of the preparatory actions of the title; 
— Article 03 includes expenditure that is not part of a programme but for whic h a basic act exists; 
— Article 04 includes the expenditure relating to actions financed under the prerog atives of the Commission and specif ic powers 
conferr ed on the Commission. 
Title 20 includes the administrative expenditure of the Commission and Title 21 the pensions (of former staff and members of all Union 
institutions) and the contr ibutions to the European Schools. These two titles include the expenditure falling under the MFF heading 7 
‘European Public Administration’. 
Finally , Title 30 constitutes the ‘pro visions ’ title foreseen in the Article 49 of the Financial Regulation. 
Two complementar y nomenclatures 
The main nomenclature of the Commission is complement ed by two nomenclatures under Annex es 1 and 2 of its section: 
— in accordance with Article 65 of the Financial Regulation, Annex 1 set out in further details the expenditure of the six offices (O1 to 
O6). This annex follows a structure by office similar to Title 20 of the main nomenclature where the total expenditure of each office is 
entered into specifi c budget lines (under Chapt er 3); COMMISS ION

— Annex 2 presents each individual ongoing pilot project and preparat ory action with the followi ng standardised structure: 
— a separate title for the pilot projects ‘PP’ and for the preparat ory actions ‘PA’; 
— within each of these two titles, chap ters corresponding to the programme cluster from whic h pilot projects and preparatory 
actions are financed . The total expenditure by chap ter in Annex 2 corresponds to the amounts of expenditure presented under 
Articles XX 20 01 and XX 20 02 of the main nomenclature for pilot projects and preparatory actions, respectively ; 
— within each chapt er, articles correspond to the budgetary year in which the pilot projects and preparat ory actions were adop ted.
