New article

This appropriation is to be used to improve access to finance for SMEs in the form of equity and debt in their start-up, growth and transfer phase.

A loan guarantee facility (LGF) shall provide counter-guarantees, direct guarantees and other risk sharing arrangements for debt financing which shall reduce the particular difficulties that viable SMEs face in accessing finance either due to their perceived higher risk or their lack of sufficient available collateral and for securitisation of SME debt finance portfolios.

An equity facility for growth (EFG) shall allow investments in risk capital funds which invest in SMEs in the expansion and growth stage, and in particular in those operating cross-borders. The possibility shall exist to invest in early stage funds in conjunction with the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. In cases of joint investments in multi-stage funds, investments will be provided on a pro-rata basis from the EFG of Cosme and the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. Support from the EFG shall be (a) either directly by the European Investment Fund (EIF) or other entities entrusted with the implementation on behalf of the Commission or (b) by funds-of-funds or investment vehicles investing across borders.

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.

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 140(6) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released, and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6341 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 21(3)(i) of the Financial Regulation.

New item

Access to risk finance activity will set up two financial facilities, namely a debt facility and an equity facility, in order to help remedy the current market deficiencies in accessing risk finance for research and innovation. The goal of the debt facility is to improve access to debt financing for public and private entities and public-private partnerships engaged in research and innovation activities requiring riskier investments. The goal of the equity facility is in particular to contribute to overcoming the deficiencies of the European venture capital market and provide equity and quasi-equity to cover the development and financing needs of innovating enterprises from the early stage (including seed stage and technology transfer), so that they can grow and expand. In addition to these financial facilities to be implemented in complementarity with Cosme’s facilities as far as support to SMEs is concerned, a set of accompanying measures, such as support to investment-readiness schemes, will be provided.

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 140(6) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released, and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6 3 4 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 21(3)(i) of the Financial Regulation.

New item

This activity will focus on developing more sustainable and productive agriculture and forestry systems, while at the same time developing services, concepts and policies for thriving rural livelihoods. In addition, emphasis will be placed on healthy and safe foods for all as well as competitive food processing methods that use fewer resources and produce fewer by-products. In parallel, efforts will be made on sustainably exploiting aquatic living resources (e.g. sustainable and environmentally friendly fisheries). Low carbon, resource efficient, sustainable and competitive European bio-based industries will also be promoted.

Part of the appropriations will be used to fund a project on Aquaponics for sustainable, smart and inclusive growth.

Aquaponics is considered a new revolution in food production. Aquaponics is a sustainable food production model, based on the basic principle of organic farming, which combines hydroponics (growing plants in sand, gravel or water) and aquaculture (fish farming). The idea is to combine these two techniques into a single system, so as to reinforce the positive effects of each technique and cancel each other’s negative ones.

The major benefits of aquaponics are:

—water recycling and reuse,

—high productivity (measured in terms of quantity/space),

—small environmental footprint.

There are several aquaponics production systems to produce plants and fish. All systems operate on the same principles, however, they are extremely flexible in both their opportunities and in their design. The main challenge is to find the right balance between the fish population, the nutrients brought, the bacterial population and food produced. Research and development is needed to further find this right balance.

Still marginal in Europe, the potential of this culture system has already convinced many countries. Aquaponics is gaining popularity because of its benefits. More and more people are beginning to realise the immense potential of this technique. Entrepreneurs, innovators and producers are getting into aquaponics.

This food production technique can bring several benefits: strengthen the local food systems, addressing the issue of health and food safety; create employment opportunities, reduce the environmental impact, reduce dependence on imports, provide education and training, to stimulate industry, reducing the carbon footprint.

The project is fully in line with the aim of the Europe 2020 strategy. It intends to contribute to a sustainable, smart and inclusive growth in Union and international development context.

The overall objective is to facilitate the emergence of an innovative, resource efficient and more competitive food production system that combines food security and the sustainable use of resources while ensuring environmental protection.

As part of its efforts to improve food security the Union promotes aquaculture as a means to increase food availability, access to food, jobs and income, including within Horizon 2020. Aquaponics is one of the sustainable ways to achieve this.

Research and innovation in aquaponics at the Union level will support the development of a new industrial sector, opening prospects for new business, associations of actors in the aquaculture and horticultural sectors and the creation of dynamic short circuits in rural and urban areas. In addition aquaponics can contribute to strengthening and transforming communities (e.g. neighbourhoods, hospitals, prisons, nursing homes) and be a catalyst for social innovation.

Further research and innovation in this field may enable Europe to play an important role in the global bio-economy. It can make Europe more present on the international scene with regards to innovative, sustainable and competitive food production systems.

This project is based on a multidimensional approach that takes into account:

—the need to ensure the health and safety of food products through ecological agriculture and increasing aquaculture production,

—the inclusion of nutrition,

—the need for economy of resources (e.g. water, energy, land, capital) and improvements in the use of water, energy and space,

—protecting the environment,

—the importance of market development,

—the organisational and social innovation,

—utility organisations’ and companies’ social and solidarity economy,

—social inclusion and education,

—the need for creating new skills and new jobs with the aim of modernising labour markets,

—the strengthening of governance (i.e. strengthening the participation of stakeholders in decision-making),

—the importance attached by the Union to territorial cohesion and integrated territorial approach,

—a European context marked by the emergence of a policy of sustainable cities,

—the importance attached by the Union to develop an economy based on knowledge.

The project aims at being cross-regional, multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary. Activities shall include:

—making an inventory of technologies and organisational models that use aquaponics. The existing information on aquaponics is very scattered and it is therefore necessary to identify the actors, their expertise and mission,

—creating a ‘Community of Practice’ that pools within a network the expertise and resources in this field and implement a dynamic exchange, sharing and capitalisation of resource. The creation of a community (Technology Platform) including research, scientific, professional and business community and the operation of this network should be promoted.

Support should be provided for this Technology Platform to:

—identify areas of further need for research and innovation,

—coordinate the establishment of collaborative innovation pilot projects,

—increase knowledge transfer and disseminate innovations and best practices, expertise and lessons learned,

—ensure the creation and maintenance of a resources centre for dissemination of knowledge and results.

Remarks

New item

The specific objective is to foster inclusive, innovative and reflective European societies in a context of unprecedented transformations and growing global interdependencies.

Activities will cover four main areas: ICT-enabled public sector innovation, understanding and preserving Europe’s intellectual basis, learning and inclusion.

ICT-enabled public sector innovation refers to the use of ICT for the creation and implementation of new processes, products, services and methods of delivery which result in significant improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of public services. The future public administrations should be digital and cross-border by default. Activities cover fostering efficient, open and citizen-centric public services, involving the public sector as an agent for innovation and change as well as cross-border innovation measures or seamless delivery of public services.

The aim of the second challenge is ‘to contribute to an understanding of Europe’s intellectual basis: its history and the many European and non-European influences; as an inspiration for our lives today’.

The aim of the third challenge is to support the widespread adoption of ICT in schools and for training in Europe.

The fourth challenge is to get the elderly (aged 65 and above), the unemployed and low educated, migrants, people in need of care, people living in remote or poorer areas, persons with disabilities, and homeless to fully participate in society. Activities focus on empowering them with the necessary digital skills and providing them with access to digital technologies.

Activities cover collaboration, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. Also entered in this item are the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programme and of the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.
