THE INVESTMENT PLAN FOR EUROPE

Extending gas distribution networks in Spain over the next three years (2015-18) including constructing new pipelines to reach customers in remote and rural areas. Many of these customers currently rely on fuel oil and propane for heating and cooking. Replacing these polluting fuels with cleaner and cheaper natural gas will reduce energy costs and cut household and business emissions by over 140 kilo tonnes of CO2 per year. The EFSI support will allow Redexis to invest on a larger scale, and it is expected to create 3000 jobs during the construction phase and 60 new permanent jobs.

Poverty: Commission welcomes final adoption of new Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived

...European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion László Andor said:

"I welcome the agreement of the Parliament and the Council on the creation of this new Fund with a significantly increased budget, which will be able to ensure that around 4 million people will benefit from immediate assistance. I urge Member States to make full use of the Fund and to implement it according to their specific needs".

The FEAD will support Member States' actions to provide a broad range of non-financial material assistance including food, clothing and other essential goods for personal use such as shoes, soap and shampoo, to the most materially-deprived people.

The FEAD will also require that the distribution of material assistance is combined with social reintegration measures such as guidance and support to help the most deprived to get out of poverty. Member States may also choose to provide only non-material assistance aimed at furthering the social inclusion of the most deprived persons.

The Fund will offer considerable flexibility to Member States, who will be able to choose, according to their own situation and traditions, the type of assistance they wish to provide (material or non-material assistance), and their preferred model for procuring and distributing the food and goods."

Europe lags behind other regions in technology transfer and the commercialisation of R&I.

Europe lags behind other regions in technology transfer and the commercialisation of R&I. Lack of early-stage investment is a major factor contributing to this situation. Facilitating the interaction of potential investors with innovative SMEs and small midcaps participating in FP7 or Horizon 2020, together with preparing firms and entrepreneurs to negotiate more effectively with such investors, can help address this problem. In a complementary manner, investors can be trained to better understand the technologies and applications developed through FP7 and Horizon 2020 projects and thus make sounder decisions about their commercialisation potential.

Horizon 2020 approval by Parliament a boost for European research and innovation

The European Commission welcomed the European Parliament's adoption of Horizon 2020, the next EU research and innovation programme. With a budget of nearly EUR 80 billion1 euro over seven years, Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU research programme yet, and one of the biggest publicly funded worldwide. It is also one of only very few programmes in the next EU budget to see a strong increase in funding – a nearly 30 per cent jump in real terms over the current Seventh Framework Programme. EU Member States must now give their final seal of approval ahead of the first calls for proposals under Horizon 2020, currently set for 11th December.

Horizon 2020, the EU's next programme for research and innovation, will run from 2014 to 2020 with a budget of nearly EUR 80 billion (current prices – adjusted for inflation).  It replaces the Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7), which ran from 2007 to 2013 with a budget of around EUR 55 billion (see MEMO/13/1034).

The Horizon 2020 programme was first proposed by the European Commission in November 2011, for decision by EU Member States and the European Parliament. Negotiators for Member States, Parliament and the Commission reached provisional agreement on the final texts of the package in June 2013. Following approval today by plenary vote in the European Parliament, EU Member States must sign off on the programme at Ministerial level.
