This section of the Legislative Financial Statement should include the following specific complementary information:Need to be met in the short or long termThe 7th Framework Programme will be an integral part of the EU efforts towards the knowledge economy and society in Europe, together with other specific endeavours on education, training and innovation. The elaboration of the objectives, as illustrated in the Communication COM (2004) 353 of 16.6.2004 on the future European research policy and very favourably viewed by the stakeholders and the other European institutions, is at the basis of the Commission proposal for the 7th Framework Programme.The 7th Framework Programme is characterised both by continuity with the current FP6 (e.g. in the context of the collaborative research) and the introduction of novel elements at the level of content and instruments to address the arising needs at EU level (e.g. support to new infrastructures, co-ordination of national research programmes on a large scale, Joint Technology Initiatives, European Research Council).The 7th Framework Programme addresses the main components of European research, namely cooperative research, basic research, human resources and research capacities


text: (including infrastructures, specific SME measures, Science in Society aspects, support to regions etc). The main instruments to be used will be the known ones, with important efforts already undertaken and more envisaged to simplify all procedures of the Framework Programme and make them friendlier for the proposers.These elements are lucidly presented in the Explanatory Memorandum and in the Communication “Building the ERA of Knowledge for Growth” that is put forward at the same moment as the Commission proposals for the 7th Framework Programme.Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergyIntervention at EU level is justified in the field of R&D policy. There are a number of cases where it can be more effective to provide support for research at EU level than at national level. Some research activities are of such a scale that no single Member State can provide the necessary resources and expertise. In these cases, EU projects can allow research to achieve the required “critical mass”, while lowering commercial risk and producing a leverage effect on private investment. EU-scale actions also play an important role in transferring skills and knowledge across frontiers. This helps to foster excellence in research and development through enhancing capability, quality and EU-wide competition, as well as improving human capacity in S&T through training, mobility and European career development. EU support can also contribute to a better integration of European R&D, by encouraging the coordination of national policies, by the EU-wide dissemination of results, and by funding research for pan-European policy challenges.An in-depth analysis is provided in the “Impact Assessment and Ex Ante Evaluation Report for the Commission proposals for the Council and European Parliament decisions on the 7th Framework Programme (EC and Euratom)”. This document represents a technical annex to the legislative proposal in the form of a staff working document. A whole chapter is dedicated to this question (see its Annex 1, chapter 3). The report also addresses alternative options for Community intervention and the impacts likely to result from each policy option.The 7th Framework Programme will involve new modes of support for research activities. These will be complementary to the support to be provided by the European Investment Bank, the Structural Funds, national and regional schemes. More information is included in the Communication “Building the ERA of Knowledge for Growth” (see above) and in the Explanatory Memorandum.Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM framework“Reinvigorating” the Lisbon agenda is a key goal of the EU and the European Commission for the coming years. This implies, as a first priority, the full realisation of the knowledge society. In the same direction, the strategic objectives of the College, COM (2005) 12 final, have highlighted the importance of research and development as one of the key drivers of prosperity and growth. In particular this will mean the Union committing to invest 3% of GDP in research, with one third coming from the public sector. This message is reinforced


text: by the Communication on ‘A new start for the Lisbon Strategy’ COM (2005)24.The objectives set out here are therefore aimed precisely at supporting the aims of the Lisbon agenda through Community funded research activities. It has been demonstrated that such research plays a critically important role in promoting growth and prosperity, building the European knowledge base including research capacities and developing an integrated and strengthened European Research Area.Objectives are in the following areas:I. CooperationSupport will be given to the whole range of research activities carried out in transnational cooperation, from collaborative projects and networks to the coordination of research programmes. International cooperation between the EU and third countries is an integral part of this action.1. Health: Improving the health of European citizens and increasing the competitiveness of European health-related industries and businesses, while addressing global health issues including emerging epidemics. Emphasis will be put on translational research (translation of basic discoveries in clinical applications), the development and validation of new therapies, methods for health promotion and prevention, diagnostic tools and technologies, as well as sustainable and efficient healthcare systems.2. Food, agriculture and biotechnology: Building a European Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (includes all industries and economic sectors that produce, manage and otherwise exploit biological resources and related services, supply or consumer industries, such as agriculture, food, fisheries, forestry, etc.) by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders, to exploit new and emerging research opportunities that address social and economic challenges: the growing demand for safer healthier and higher quality food and for sustainable use and production of renewable bio-resources; the increasing risk of epizootic and zoonotic diseases and food related disorders; threats to the sustainability and security of agricultural production resulting in particular from climate change; and the increasing demand for high quality food, taking into account animal welfare and rural contexts.3. Information and communication technologies: To enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) so that the demands of its society and economy are met. Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base in ICT, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens, businesses, industry and governments.4. Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Materials and new Production Technologies: Improve the competitiveness of European industry and ensure its transformation from a resource-intensive to a knowledge-intensive industry, by generating breakthrough knowledge for new applications at the crossroads between different technologies and disciplines.5. Energy: Transforming the current fossil-fuel based energy system into a more sustainable one based on a diverse portfolio of energy sources and carriers combined with enhanced energy efficiency, to address the pressing challenges of security of supply and climate change, whilst increasing the competitiveness of Europe’s energy industries.6. Environment (including Climate Change) : Sustainable management of the environment and its resources through advancing our knowledge on the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities, and developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in an integrated way global environmental issues . Emphasis


text: will be put on prediction of climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes; on tools and technologies for monitoring, prevention and mitigation of environmental pressures and risks including on health, as well as for the conservation of the natural and man-made environment.7. Transport (including Aeronautics): Based on technological advances, develop integrated, “greener” and “smarter” pan-European transport systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; and securing and further developing the leading role attained by the European industries in the global market.8. Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities: Generating an in-depth, shared understanding of complex and interrelated socio-economic challenges Europe is confronted with, such as growth, employment and competitiveness, social cohesion and sustainability, quality of life and global interdependence, in particular with the view of providing an improved knowledge base for policies in the fields concerned.9. Security and Space :To develop the technologies and knowledge for building capabilities needed to ensure the security of citizens from threats such as terrorism, and crime, while respecting fundamental human rights; to ensure optimal and concerted use of available technologies to the benefit of European security; and to stimulate the co-operation of providers and users for security solutions.Supporting a European Space Programme focusing on applications such as GMES with benefits for citizens and for the competitiveness of the European space industry. This will contribute to the development of a European Space Policy, complementing efforts by Member States and by other key players, including the European Space Agency.II. IdeasThis programme will enhance the dynamism, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontier of knowledge. This will be done by supporting “investigator-driven” research projects carried out across all fields by individual teams in competition at the European level. Projects will be funded on the basis of proposals presented by researchers on subjects of their choice and evaluated on the sole criterion of excellence as judged by peer review.III. PeopleStrengthening, quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in research and technology in Europe, by stimulating people to enter into the researcher’s profession, encouraging European researchers to stay in Europe, and attracting to Europe researchers from the entire world, making Europe more attractive to the best researchers. This will be done by putting into place a coherent set of “Marie Curie” actions, addressing researchers at all stages of their careers, from initial research training to life long learning and career development.IV. CapacitiesResearch Infrastructures : Optimising the use and development of the best research infrastructures existing in Europe, and helping to create in all fields of science and technology new research infrastructures of pan-European interest needed by the European scientific community to remain at the forefront of the advancement of research, and able to help industry to strengthen its base of knowledge and its technological know how.Research For the Benefit of SMEs : Strengthening the innovation capacity of European SMEs and their contribution to the development of new technology based products and markets by helping them outsource research, increase their research efforts, extend their


text: networks, better exploit research results and acquire technological know how.Regions of Knowledge : Strengthening the research potential of European regions, in particular by encouraging and supporting the development, across Europe, of regional “research-driven clusters” associating universities, research centres, enterprises and regional authorities.Research Potential: Stimulating the realisation of the full research potential of the enlarged Union by unlocking and developing the research potential in the EU’s convergence regions, and helping to strengthen the capacities of their researchers to successfully participate in research activities at EU level.Science In Society: With a view to building an effective and democratic European Knowledge society, the aim is to stimulate the harmonious integration of scientific and technological endeavour, and associated research policies in the European social web, by encouraging at European scale reflection and debate on science and technology, and their relation with society and culture.Activities of international co-operation : Support European competitiveness through strategic partnerships with third countries in selected fields of science and by engaging the best third country scientists to work in and with Europe as well as to address specific prolems that third countries face or that have a global character, on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit.V. Non Nuclear Actions of the Joint Research Centre:To provide customer driven scientific and technical support to the EU policy making process, ensuring support to the implementation and monitoring of existing policies and responding to new policy demands.Performance indicators : will be developed at three levels. Quantitative and qualitative indicators will be developed to show the path or direction of scientific and technical progress, such as new standards and tools, scientific techniques, patent applications and licence agreements new products, process and services.Management indicators will be developed to monitor performance internally and support senior management decision making. These could include level of budget execution, time to contract and time to payment.Outcome (impact) indicators will be used to assess the overall effectiveness of the research against high-level objectives. These could include assessment at the aggregate Framework Programme Level (e.g. impact on the achievement of the Lisbon, Goeteborg, Barcelona and other objectives) and assessment at the SP level (e.g. contribution made to EU S&T and economic performance).More information on this point is included in the Annex of the “Impact Assessment and Ex Ante Evaluation Report for the Commission proposals for the Council and European Parliament decisions on the 7th Framework Programme (EC and Euratom)”, Chapter 6: Towards an effective, user-friendly management and outcome-oriented new the 7th Framework Programme, Section 3: New programme evaluation and monitoring system.Method of Implementation (indicative)Show below the method(s)[34] chosen for the implementation of the action.( Centralised Management( Directly by the Commission( Indirectly by delegation to:( Executive Agencies( Bodies set up by the Communities as referred to in art. 185 of the Financial Regulation( National public-sector bodies/bodies with public-service mission (in part for some Marie Curie individual fellowships)ٱ Shared or decentralised managementٱ With Member statesٱ With Third countriesٱ Joint management with international organisations (please specify)Relevant comments:As a general principle when deciding on the


text: most appropriate management structures, there must be clear lines of responsibility within the Commission and clean interfaces between the Commission and any separate management structures. In addition, where the link between the detailed follow-up of the actual projects funded and the development of S&T policy is clear, any shift of management away from the Commission services cannot go beyond “upstream” tasks supporting the submission and evaluation of proposals. Where this link between the individual project follow-up and the definition of scientific priorities is not direct or does not exist, management of the “downstream” tasks of making contracts and running the projects could be given to an executive agency.With this principle in mind, the following are proposed for the management of the various blocks of the Framework Programme:25. For actions deriving from Article 169 or Article 171 of the Treaty – notably for joint technological initiatives and new infrastructure actions - the management structures will be decided on a case-by-case basis according to the specific characteristics of the action concerned and will be created by the decisions establishing the actions and will involve management outside the Commission services.26. For all RTD projects, including collaborative research projects , the hypothesis used is that it will not be possible to manage with the status quo (i.e. full internal direct management with limited use of outsourcing through commercial contracts). In this case, for “upstream” implementation tasks an executive agency will be used. Tasks would include the reception and administrative management of proposals submitted, inviting and paying expert evaluators (chosen by the Commission), providing logistical support to proposal evaluation and possible further tasks, such as financial viability checking and provision of statistics. The continued possibility to sub-contract specific tasks to private companies (e.g. for the development of IT tools) will not be ruled out.The evaluation, contracting and project management of RTD projects, except for those identified in points (3), (4) and (5) below, would be carried out by the Commission services, in order to maintain the close link between such activities and policy formulation.27. For the frontier research and the European Research Council (ERC) , a scientific council will oversee the implementation of the programme from the scientific perspective; this will involve the preparation of the annual work programmes (which will be adopted by the Commission), the establishment of the peer review process and the quality control of project evaluation and selection. The administration of the programme and the tasks associated with the implementation of the individual projects will be assured by an executive agency .28. In the case of the mobility actions (other than the new scheme mentioned in point (5) below and SME-specific support actions , the Commission will handle the policy oversight and preparation of procedures and work programmes as well as the selection of projects and the budgets allocated to them. Both the upstream and the purely downstream contract management will be provided by an executive agency, which will take over the tasks of preparing, signing and administrative follow-up of contracts


text: once the Commission has evaluated the proposals and decided which projects to fund. The feedback into the work programme, future programmes and other policy initiatives will be ensured by the Commission through monitoring and review at the project portfolio or sub-programme level, whereas the agency would deal with individual project-level management and payments.29. For the new scheme of co-funding of national mobility programmes, for policy reasons the Commission will retain full responsibility for the evaluation and funding decisions at the highest level (i.e. the decisions on which national programmes to co-fund ). The detailed implementation of the individual grant schemes under this heading will, though, be passed to the relevant national or regional public-sector bodies or private bodies with a public service mission established in the Member States, since there is no link from the individual grants to policy formulation.Flexibility should be maintained to allow the possibility of adapting these management arrangements depending on experience acquired during the first years of the 7th Framework Programme.MONITORING AND EVALUATIONMonitoring systemMonitoring of implementation management would be ensured by operational senior management within the Commission on a continuous basis with annual check points and using a common set of management performance indicators. Adequate resource would be given to this process. The annual results of this exercise will be used to inform senior management and as an input to the multi-annual assessment exercise.The requirements and systems for data collection regarding proposal evaluation and contract preparation are currently under review given the needs of providing a robust and simplified data set while imposing minimum burden on research programme participants.EvaluationEx-ante evaluationIn line with the Commission requirements, an ex ante evaluation of the 7th Framework Programme legislative proposals has been undertaken. This evaluation is incorporated in the overall Impact Assessment report of the European Commission’s proposals for the European parliament and Council decisions on the 7th Framework Programme (EC and EURATOM).The 7th Framework Programme Impact Assessment exercise was based upon inputs from stakeholders, internal and external evaluation and other studies, and contributions from recognised European evaluation and impact assessment experts. The Impact Assessment exercise covered the period from April 2004 to April 2005. It was conducted and monitored by the Commission services with the help of a number of external experts.Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)A Five Year Assessment of the implementation and achievements of Community research over the five preceding years was carried out between June-December 2004 by a panel of independent high level experts. The assessment was based on analysis of an extensive database of evaluation and policy reports concerning Community research, 8 separate studies and analyses prepared specifically as inputs to the assessment exercise; interviews with and presentations by Commission staff; and discussion by panel members within their own constituencies.The results of the Five Year Assessment were made available on 10 February 2005 and on XX/XX/2005 , the Commission communicated the conclusions of the assessment, accompanied by its observations, to the European Parliament, the Council, the European


text: Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions.A synthesis of the key findings of the Five Year Assessment report and how these have been integrated into the proposal (in italics) are as follows:- It was noted that the Framework Programmes have provided a major contribution to Europe’s knowledge base and the restructuring of Europe’s research system to be more innovative and that the Commission’s proposal to substantially increase the European research budget in the future is a welcome step in the right direction. The proposal is for a substantial increase in funding of the Framework.- It was recommended that a clearer vision or articulation of what EU research aims to achieve is needed to help set clear objectives, define precisely the Added Value for Europe, reinforce the impetus given by the European Research Area and get the necessary support from the public for these activities. The proposal is accompanied by a specific Communication to describe the relationship between knowledge creation and growth and has been developed in parallel with, the ex ante Impact Assessment which gives a clear and detailed statement on the expected benefits from the proposed research activities.- It was recommended that the industrial orientation and participation in the Framework Programme must be enhanced to help strengthen European competitiveness. Links to other EU policies are needed such as intellectual property rights (IPR), state aid rules and also encouragement of public-private collaboration such as through joint technology initiatives. The proposal reflects the need for a strengthened and simplified approach to Community research funding with detailed attention to the needs of the industrial sector, including different types of industrial participant such as large firms and SMEs. The promotion of joint technology initiatives is one of the innovative features to promote industrial participation in the programme.- It was recommended that excelling in science and developing human resources for research will be crucial for further development of the knowledge-based society. This will require the extension in scale and scope of human resources and mobility programmes. The proposal reflects this need through the enhanced measures for human resources development with the commitment for more flexibility and greater articulation between the public and private sectors. It is also proposed to create a European Research Council to promote riskier research and excellence in science.- It was recommended that enhancing citizens trust in science, technology and innovation and better understanding of the legitimacy of research policies are necessary to tackle society’s concerns appropriately by science and research policy objectives. Impacts and actual results should be communicated to the public at large in a meaningful manner. The proposal reflects these needs through a specific approach to Science in Society as one of the activities under ‘Capacities’.- Simplifying the access and participation to the Framework Programme, notably through the streamlining of its administration, is essential to reinforce its positive role in the EU research landscape. This is not least true for the new Member States which face particular problems that are to be addressed. For reasons


text: of continuity, it was recommended to maintain the current implementation instruments . Extensive efforts are ongoing towards a major simplification of Framework Programme procedures, the proposed results of which are incorporated throughout the proposal.Terms and frequency of future evaluationNot later than 2010, the Commission shall carry out with the assistance of external experts, an interim evaluation of the seventh framework programme and its specific programmes on the quality of the research activities under way and progress towards the objectives set.A coordinated programme of studies for: horizontal assessments of such topics as the impact of research on issues such as productivity, competitiveness and employment; structuring effects of the Framework Programme on the ERA (fragmentation, excellence, coordination) through the formation and development of commercial and knowledge networks, and the creation and support to infrastructures; and the impact of Community research on strategic decision making in companies and research organisations and national, European and regional authorities; assessment of impact and achievements at portfolio, programme and higher levels against the strategic objectives and indicators that are set within a clearly defined programme logic.Two years following the completion of this framework programme, the Commission shall have carried out an external evaluation by independent experts of its rationale, implementation and achievements. This would be supported by a coherent set of independent studies, the interim evaluation and other evaluation activities carried out over the life-time of the Framework Programme, as listed above. The report of this exercise would be presented to all interested stakeholders, including the Parliament and Council. Furthermore, this report could feed into future ex ante evaluation and impact assessments by the Commission.An independent ex post programme evaluation would be undertaken 2 years after the end of the 6th Framework Programme.Evaluation methods to include: expert panels; sampled analyses, case studies and surveys; longitudinal studies; studies coordinated with Members States; where appropriate, cost-benefit analysis or follow-on macroeconomic impact analysis.ANTI-FRAUD MEASURESMeasures will be taken to ensure that the same anti-fraud measures taken in the sixth framework programmes’ rules for participation and contracts will be brought forward and reinforced in the seventh framework programmes. These include measures such a financial collective responsibility, sanctions against overcharging, measures to ensure the effective recovery of amounts due to the Commission, and administrative and legal measures taken to ensure full compliance with the Financial Regulation and its provisions regarding procedures for selecting and financing grants and services rendered to the Commission.DETAILS OF RESOURCESObjectives of the proposal in terms of their financial costCommitment appropriations in EUR million (to 3 decimal places) Cash prices[35](Headings of Objectives, actions and outputs should be provided) | Year 2007 | Year 2008 | Year 2009 | Year 2010 | Year 2011 | Year 2012 | Year 2013 | TOTAL |Year 2007 | Year 2008 | Year 2009 | Year 2010 | Year 2011 | Year 2012 | Year 2013 |Officials or temporary staff[37] (XX 01 01) | A*/AD | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 | 40 |B*, C*/AST | 62 | 62

Právní hlediskaNávrh rámcového programu Euratom, který se vztahuje na období 2007-2011, je založen na článku 7 Smlouvy o Euratomu. V souladu s druhým odstavcem uvedeného článku se výzkumné programy připravují na období nejdéle pěti let. Proto není současný návrh rámcového programu Euratom stanoven na stejné období jako návrh rámcového programu ES.Komise navrhuje, že nedojde-li k mimořádným okolnostem, může být tento rámcový program v souladu s předpokládaným legislativním postupem prodloužen na období 2012-2013.Aby mohla být posílena excelence a zvýšena průměrná úroveň výzkumu v Evropě, je hlavní zásadou podněcovat, organizovat a využívat veškeré formy spolupráce ve výzkumu, od spolupráce na společných projektech a sítích pro koordinaci vnitrostátních výzkumných programů, konkurenci na evropské úrovni i společné provádění rozsáhlejších technologických iniciativ a společný vývoj infrastruktur evropského rozměru a zájmu.Akce prováděné v rámcovém programu Euratom doplňují akce podniknuté členskými státy v oblasti jaderné energie.Všechna ustanovení rámcového programu ES (např. týkající se režimů financování) jsou v zásadě použitelná v rámcovém programu Euratom, pokud se na ně nevztahují články Smlouvy o ES, které nemají obdobu ve Smlouvě o Euratomu.
