Amendment 675 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part I – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.2 – paragraph 1
The EU needs a strong, resilient and creative human resource base, with the right combination of skills to match the future needs of the labour market, to innovate and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for scientific, economic and social benefit. This can be achieved through training researchers to further develop their core research competences as well as enhance their transferable skills such as a creative and entrepreneurial mindset. This will allow them to face current and future global challenges, and improve their career prospects and innovation potential.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.2 – point 1.2.5 – paragraph 1
Health technologies and tools are vital for public health and contributed to a large extent to the important improvements achieved in the quality of life, health and care of people, in the EU. It is thus a key strategic challenge to design, develop, deliver and implement suitable, trustable, safe, and cost-effective tools and technologies for health and care, taking due account of the needs of people with disabilities and the aging society. These include artificial intelligence and other digital tools and technologies, offering significant improvements over existing ones, as well as stimulating a competitive and sustainable health-related industry that creates high-value jobs. The European health-related industry is one of the critical economic sectors in the EU, accounting for 3% of GDP and 1.5 million employees.

Amendment 1351 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 4 – point 4.2 – point 4.2.2 – paragraph 1
The EU aims to be world leader in affordable, secure and sustainable energy technologies improving its competitiveness in global value chains and its position in growth markets. Diverse climatic, geographical, environmental and socio- economic conditions in the EU as well as the need to ensure energy security and access to raw materials, dictate a broad portfolio of energy solutions, including of non-technical nature. As regards renewable energy technologies, costs need to decrease further, performance must improve, integration into the energy system must be improved and breakthrough technologies need to be developed and deployed. As regards fossil fuels, decarbonising their usag and feedstock, avoiding through electrification or substitution by decarbonized alternatives such as green hydrogen and synthetic methane will be essential to meet the climate objectives.
