Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Regrets to note that payment appropriations were for the fourth consecutive year below 75 %: in 2017 they were at 71,96 %; notes, however, that the number of payments increased by 9,33 % (from 75 to 82) but the paid amount, however, was reduced by 19,87 % (from EUR 175 182 730 to EUR 140 381 318) compared to 2016; takes note that this low implementation was mainly due to a reduction or postponement of clinical trials within some large and complex projects of the anti-microbial resistance and eEbola programmes and to delays in concluding grant agreements for calls under Horizon 2020; invites the IMI 2 Joint Undertaking to present updated information to the discharge authority and to improve the payment appropriations for the procedure next year;

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Notes with concern that out of the EUR 1 680 000 000 of Horizon 2020 funds allocated to the IMI Joint Undertaking, by the end of 2017 the IMI 2 Joint Undertaking had made commitments of EUR 819 010 000 (50 %) and payments of EUR 179 650 000 (10,97 % of the allocated funds and 21,93% of the committed funds) for the implementation of its first wave of project13 calls for proposals; acknowledges the fact that the low level of payments is mainly due to the time required by project consortia to conclude Horizon 2020 grant agreements with the industry partners, which delays IMI Joint Undertaking planned pre-financing for the given year, and due to the duration of the projects, often spanning over 5 years, bringing a large share of the payments beyond 2020;
