Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The concept of technodiversity needs to be defined. Account must be taken of the fact that each type of gear has its own specific characteristics in terms its of capacity to capture a given species and its impact on the seabed. It should therefore be recognised that certain types of gear are better than others at catching a given species, depending on where the species is caught and whether it is endangered.

Recital 12
Recital 12
(12) Scientific advice concerning certain fish stocks found in the deep-sea indicates that these stocks are particularly vulnerable to exploitation, and that fishing for these stocks should be limited or reduced as a precautionary measure. Fishing opportunities for deep-sea stocks should not go beyond those levels which are scientifically advised as precautionary. In the case of advice being absent for lack of sufficient information about stocks or species, no fishing opportunities shouldmay only be allocated in accordance with the precautionary principle, based on the best available information.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 2
Over the coming decades, Europe will be challenged by increased competition for limited and finite natural resources, by the effects of climate change, in particular on primary production systems (agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture) and by the need to provide a sustainable, safe and secure food supply for the European and an increasing global population. A 70 % increase of the world food supply is estimated to be required to feed the 9 billion global population by 2050 (research should be commensurate with to the potential of the various food sources). Agriculture accounts for about 10 % of Union greenhouse gases emissions, and while declining in Europe, global emissions from agriculture are projected to increase up to 20 % by 2030. Furthermore, Europe will need to ensure sufficient supplies of raw materials, energy and industrial products, under conditions of decreasing fossil carbon resources (oil and liquid gas production expected to decrease by about 60 % by 2050), while maintaining its competitiveness. Bio-waste (estimated at up to 138 million tonnes per year in the Union, of which up to 40 % is land-filled) represents a huge problem and cost, despite its high potential added value. For example, an estimated 30 % of all food produced in developed countries is discarded. Major changes are needed to reduce this amount by 50 % in the Union by 203026. In addition, national borders are irrelevant in the spread of animal and plant pests and diseases, including zoonotic diseases, and food borne pathogens. While effective national prevention measures are needed, action at Union level is essential for ultimate control and the effective running of the single market. The challenge is complex, affects a broad range of interconnected sectors and requires a plurality of approaches.

Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – paragraph 2
A fully functional European bio-economy – encompassing the sustainable production of renewable resources from land, marine and aquatic environments and their conversion into food, bio-based products and bioenergy as well as the related public goods - will generate high European added value. Managed in a sustainable manner, it can reduce the environmental footprint of primary production and the supply chain as a whole. It can increase their competitiveness and provide jobs and business opportunities for rural and coastal development. The food security, sustainable agriculture, and overall bio- economy – related challenges are of a European and global nature. Actions at Union level are essential to bring together clusters to achieve the necessary breadth and critical mass to complement efforts made by a single or groups of Member States. A multi-actor approach will ensure the necessary cross-fertilising interactions between researcher, businesses, farmers/producers, advisors and end-users. The Union level is also necessary to ensure coherence in addressing this challenge across sectors and with strong links to relevant Union policies. Coordination of research and innovation at Union level will stimulate and help to accelerate the required changes across the Union.

(da) Cross-cutting marine and maritime research The exploitation of living and non-living marine resources, the use of different sources of marine energy and the wide range of different uses that is made of the seas raise cross-cutting scientific and technological challenges. Seas and oceans also play a crucial role in climate regulation, but they are heavily impacted by inland, coastal and maritime human activities and by climate change. The overall aim is to develop cross-cutting marine and maritime scientific and technological knowledge with a view to unlocking the blue growth potential across the range of marine and maritime industries, while protecting the marine environment and adapting to climate change. This strategic coordinated approach for marine and maritime research across all challenges and pillars of Horizon 2020 will also support the implementation of relevant Union policies to help deliver key blue growth objectives.

The growing impacts from climate change and environmental problems, such as ocean acidification, changes in ocean circulation, the increase in seawater temperature, ice melting in the Arctic, land degradation and use, water shortages, chemical pollution and biodiversity loss, indicate that the planet is approaching its sustainability boundaries. For example, without improvements in efficiency, water demand is projected to overshoot supply by 40 % in 20 years time. Forests are disappearing at an alarmingly high rate of 5 million hectares per year. Interactions between resources can cause systemic risks – with the depletion of one resource generating an irreversible tipping point for other resources and ecosystems. Based on current trends, the equivalent of more than two planet Earths will be needed by 2050 to support the growing global population.

Addressing the availability of raw materials calls for co-ordinated research and innovation efforts across many disciplines and sectors to help provide safe, economically feasible, environmentally sound and socially acceptable solutions along the entire value chain (exploration, extraction, processing, re-use, recycling and substitution). Water challenges include water use in rural, urban and industrial environments and the protection of aquatic ecosystems. Innovation in these fields will provide opportunities for growth and jobs, as well as innovative options involving science, technology, the economy, policy and governance. For this reason, a European Innovation Partnerships on Water Efficiency and Raw Materials isare being prepared.
