Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas research, development and innovation constitute a distinct dimension of the EU’s Energy Union, with energy R&D&I a key driver of the EU’s industrial leadership, global competitiveness, sustainable growth and job creation, as well as of the EU’s overall energy security, by reducing dependence on energy imports;

Recital C
C. whereas a fully functioning internal energy market is essential for further stimulating R&D&I and maximising the market uptake of new technologies across all EU regions by providing economies of scale and regulatory and investment certainty, thereby enabling the EU to reap the full potential of energy innovation and fostering efficiency, a sustainable technology-neutral use of indigenous sources, and storage and transport solutions;
Amendment 64 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Notes that research, development and innovation in energy crucially depends on predictability and certainty, which require long-term policy vision, sustained targeted incentives and patient equity capital in order to attain the necessary critical mass for market deployment; welcomes the focus on key technologies, as confirmed in the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) and Commission communication; stresses, however, the need for greater prioritisation of cross- cutting, systemic and cross-sector innovation in energy, as innovation is not only technology-driven;
Amendment 74 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses the need for greater coherence between the relevant funds, including structural funds, dedicated to technology-neutral energy projects, and for the existing financing instruments at EU and Member State level to be made more comprehensible; calls on the Commission to provide mapping of different funding and financing instruments along the value chain and considers that the possibility of pooling the various instruments should be assessed;
