Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing 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 general budget of the European Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, 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 this financial year is 0,7820 %.

Remarks

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

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

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

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

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

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

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

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

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

Target groups

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

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

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

Networks of expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers (20) shall be invited to contribute to the training and networking of European young companies and co-design innovation support services targeted at young knowledge-based companies.

Proposed activities

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

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

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

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

(5) Specific communication actions related to the action.

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to:

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

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

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

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

Former Article 02 03 04

In accordance with the general aim of maintaining the proper functioning of the internal market and the competitiveness of European industry, in particular through the mutual recognition of standards and the establishment of European standards in suitable cases, this appropriation is intended to cover:

— financial obligations arising from contracts to be signed with the European standardisation organisations (such as ETSI, CEN and Cenelec), for the development of standards,

— checking and certifying conformity with the standards, and demonstration projects,

— contract expenditure for the execution of the programme and projects indicated above. The contracts in question cover the following: research, association, evaluation, technical operations, coordination, scholarships, grants, training and mobility of scientific staff, participation in international agreements and participation in expenditure on equipment,

— improving the performance of standards bodies,

— promoting quality in standardisation, and the verification thereof,

— supporting the transposition of European standards into national standards, particularly by having them translated,

— measures relating to information, promotion and profile-raising of standardisation and the promotion of European interests in international standardisation,

— secretarial services for the technical committees,

— technical projects in the field of tests for compliance with the standards,

— programmes of cooperation with and assistance to third countries,

— carrying out the work needed to apply international information technology standards uniformly throughout the Union,

— specifying methods of certification and laying down technical methods of certification,

— encouraging use of these standards in public procurement contracts,

— coordinating the various operations to prepare the standards and doing more to implement them (user guides, demonstrations, etc.).

Union finance is to be used to frame and implement the standardisation operation in consultation with the main participants: industry, workers’ representatives, consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises, the national and European standardisation institutions, the public procurement agencies in the Member States, all users and industrial policymakers at national and Union levels.

Remarks

The action taken by the Union pursuant to Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Union in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Union. This action shall be taken with the aid of the cohesion policy funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall aim to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.

The action taken under the cohesion policy funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Union's priorities for sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness, employment and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.

The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be geared to speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, adaptability to economic and social changes, protection and improvement of the environment, as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the cohesion policy funds’ priority. The actions taken under the cohesion policy funds will respect equal opportunities for women and men.

Part of this appropriation is intended to support improvements in child care to enable children to live in a family-type setting. This support includes:

Part of this appropriation is intended for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly actions (Green New Deal) that provide for reconciling economic, social and environmental development requirements and for recovery of European regions after the economic and financial crisis.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to address the problem of intra-regional disparities and provide specific assistance to people who live in disadvantaged territorial units that constitute pockets of poverty in European regions. This assistance should focus mainly on:

— integrating communities living in pockets of poverty into the mainstream regional population via civic education, promoting tolerance and cultural understanding,

— strengthening local authorities with regard to needs assessment, project planning and project implementation,

— reducing intra-regional economic and social disparities via a temporary set of affirmative actions, focusing on employment and education.
