Specific measures to mobilise investments in the health care systems of the Member States and in other sectors of their economies in response to the COVID-19 outbreak (Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative)

Non sono mai stata europarlamentare, non ho mai vissuto una pandemia. Ho vissuto però il terremoto che nel 1980 ha distrutto interi paesi e ucciso nel Sud dell’Italia. Nel 1980 il popolo chiedeva velocità e concretezza. Oggi mi trovo qui e posso fare qualcosa. Voto convintamente sì perché ieri come oggi è necessario fare presto, ma pensando a tutti. Nei limiti delle mie possibilità sto facendo del mio meglio, so che tutti qui e nelle rispettive patrie faremo del nostro meglio.Insieme ce la faremo.

The impact of Covid-19 measures on democracy, fundamental rights and rule of law (B9-0343/2020)

Tanti soldi, ma poche spiegazioni. Stiamo chiedendo trasparenza e rigore. Qui a Bruxelles ci fanno capire che la troppa trasparenza degli accordi tra UE e Aziende farmaceutiche metterebbe a rischio la concorrenza tra le aziende. Due giorni fa l'annuncio: altri 300 milioni di euro per la ricerca per il vaccino. Ben venga il supporto e soprattutto il vaccino. Ma questo non vuol dire che, in emergenza COVID-19, tutto sia ammissibile. Esattamente come avviene per i progetti sostenuti da Horizon Europe, chiederò lucidità e accesso agli atti, tanto alla Commissione europea quanto alle aziende. A maggior ragione perché sono tanti soldi e soprattutto tanti cittadini: 500 milioni di europei. Ho sempre pensato che il mettere in rete, condividere la ricerca fosse un modo semplice e costruttivo per lavorare per il bene comune. Ho la sensazione però che l'Europa sia di fatto il più grande cliente che le varie aziende farmaceutiche abbiano mai avuto. Anzi, 500 milioni di clienti, in una firma sola. Credo e sono certa della bontà delle scelte, ma se si parla di concorrenza, vuol dire che per noi, cittadini d'Italia e d'Europa, il vaccino è una questione di vita, per le aziende è una questione diversa.

More efficient and cleaner maritime transport (A9-0029/2021 - Karima Delli)

Quasi il 90% degli scambi esterni di merci avviene via mare. I porti e le navi sono il motore del turismo, creano ricchezza e coesione. Il testo, ampiamente discusso in commissione Trasporti, contiene svariati elementi condivisibili. L'apporto del Gruppo ID/Lega è stato decisivo, soprattutto, per confermare il ruolo del gas naturale liquefatto (GNL) come carburante di riferimento per la gestione della transizione energetica. Durante i lavori, grazie anche al proficuo confronto con operatori e armatori, avevamo sottolineato la necessità di reinvestire i proventi del sistema per lo scambio delle quote di emissione dell'UE (ETS), nella competitività, ricerca e sviluppo nel comparto marittimo. Tuttavia, avete approvato un emendamento che cancella la nostra proposta rendendo problematico il testo. E questo mi porta a seguire la linea dell'astensione. Avete di fatto scelto per maggiori oneri fiscali a carico degli operatori, per sostenere gli importanti costi delle politiche verdi ed una possibile perdita di competitività rispetto ai Paesi terzi.Ricordo a tutti che le sfide della sostenibilità ambientale devono essere realistiche e ragionevoli. Dobbiamo sapere raccogliere le sollecitazioni degli operatori del settore marittimo.

Digital future of Europe: digital single market and use of AI for European consumers (A9-0149/2021 - Deirdre Clune)

Abbiamo l'occasione di colmare il divario di diffusione nelle tecnologie digitali. Nel 2019 la quota delle famiglie dell'UE-27 con accesso a Internet è salita al 90%, registrando un aumento di circa 26 punti percentuali rispetto al 2009 (64%). E l'Italia? I dati forniti dalla Commissione europea ci dicono che il 15% delle famiglie italiane non hanno ancora accesso alla rete. Nel 2009 era il 73%. La pandemia ha sottolineato non solo l'assoluta necessità di una rete dati, ma anche che la stessa rete debba essere ugualmente accessibile. "Banda larga per tutti" sembrerebbe essere stato uno slogan commerciale. Studenti, amministrazioni e artigiani dei piccoli paesi e delle zone rurali e remote sanno bene quanto sia complesso inviare documenti; è necessario agire.A questo si aggiungono, inoltre, le numerose insidie delle tecnologie digitali: cyberbullismo, violenza di genere in rete, truffe online e, non ultime, minacce alla sicurezza digitale di aziende ed enti pubblici a fini geopolitici o di lucro. Dare a tutti la possibilità di essere sulla rete, ma, allo stesso modo, che sia sicuro per tutti, tanto per le PMI quanto per i più piccoli.

Article 17 of the Common Fisheries Policy Regulation (A9-0152/2022 - Caroline Roose)

La piccola pesca costiera, definita come attività di pesca praticata da pescherecci inferiori a 12 metri o da pescatori a piedi, costituisce circa il 70% dell'attività di pesca italiana. Nonostante la superiorità numerica, i piccoli pescatori risentono della distribuzione delle possibilità di pesca da parte dello Stato, a fa,vore della pesca commerciale su larga scala. La distribuzione delle possibilità di pesca da parte dello Stato membro, si basa su un'assegnazione iniziale operata dall'Unione nell'ambito della Politica comune della pesca (PCP), secondo il principio della stabilità relativa. Ne consegue che l'Italia, ugualmente agli altri Stati membri, è tenuta a rispettare gli obblighi stabiliti dalla Politica comune della pesca.Per questo motivo ho espresso il mio supporto alla relazione sull'applicazione dell'articolo 17 della PCP, che definisce obbligatorio l'uso di criteri "trasparenti e obiettivi" nella distribuzione delle possibilità di pesca, affinché siano offerte eque opportunità anche ai pescatori su piccola scala.

In accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council39, aimed to limit animal testing, data on multi-constituent substances is to be generated under the same conditions as data on any other substance, while data on individual constituents of a substance is normally not to be generated, except where individual constituents are also substances registered on their own. Where data on individual constituents is available, multi-constituent substances should be evaluated and classified following the same classification rules as mixtures, unless Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 provides for a specific provision for those multi-constituent substances. _________________ 39 Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1).deleted

(3) It is normally not possible to sufficiently assess the endocrine disrupting properties for human health and the environment and the persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile properties of a mixture or of a multi-constituent substance on the basis of data on that mixture or substance. The data for the individual substances of the mixture or for the individual constituents of the multi- constituent substance should therefore normally be used as the basis for hazard identification of those multi-constituent substances or mixtures. However, in certain cases, data on those multi- constituent substances themselves may also be relevant. This is the case in particular where that data demonstrates endocrine disrupting properties for human health and the environment, as well as persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile properties, or where it supports data on the individual constituents. Therefore, it is appropriate that data on multi-constituent substances are used in those casixtures.

(5) Therefore aAll modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account athe variety of alternative fuels, the development of their market share and particularly their affordability. The use of zero-emission powertrain technologies and climate-neutral alternative fuels is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport and in the different Member States and regions. In particular, in the road sector, a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid personal and light-duty commercial vehicles is taking place. Hydrogen fuel-cell road vehicles are available to markets, as well, however at high prices for vehicles and fuels. In addition, smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels and hydrogen fuel-cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations, with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. In contrast, the aviation and waterborne sectors, as well as heavy-duty road transport, continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels, as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later, with full commercialisation taking its time. The use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the Union, requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane, advanced biofuelsgaseous or liquid bio-methane, biomass fuels, biofuels, advanced biofuels, recycled carbonfuels, renewable fuels of non-biological origin or renewable and low- carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels.

(6) SuchBiofuels, advanced biofuels and synthetic fuels, substituting diesel, petrol and jet fuel, can be produced from different feedstock and can be blended into fossil fuels at very high blending ratios. They can be technically used with the current vehicle technology with minor or no adaptations. Renewable and bio-LNG can be used for heavy-duty transport, both road and maritime, as demonstrated by the fact that already 20% of gas used in road transport is bio-methane. Renewable methanol can also be used for inland navigation and short-sea shipping. Synthetic and paraffinic fuels have a potential to reduce the use of fossil fuel sources in the energy supply to transport. All of these fuels can be distributed, stored and used with the existing infrastructure or where necessary with infrastructure of the same kind.

(7) LNG is likely to play a continued role in maritime transport, where there is currently no economically viable zero- emission powertrain technology available. The Communication on the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy points to zero-emission seagoing ships becoming market ready by 2030. Fleet conversion, a tendency, which should be promoted, duly monitored and reported. Fleet conversion, based on relevant, affordable and viable new technologies, should take place gradually due to the long lifetime of the ships. Contrary to maritime transport, fFor inland waterways, with normally smaller vessels and shorter distances, low- and zero-emission powertrain technologies, such as hydrogen and, electricity, sh and other alternative fuels, could enter the markets more quickly. LNG is, LPG and their renewable derivatives are, however expected to no longer play a significant role in that sectorand the competitive development of the market in this sector is still ongoing. Transport fuels such as LNG need increasingly to be decarbonised by blending/substituting with liquefied biomethane (bio-LNG) or renewable and low-carbon synthetic gaseous e-fuels (e- gas) for instance. Those decarbonised fuels can be used in the same infrastructure as gaseous fossil fuels thereby allowing for a gradual shift towards decarbonised fuels.

(8) In the heavy-duty road transport sector, LNG trucks are fully mature and can run on a high blend of bio-LNG. On the one hand, the common scenarios underpinning the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy and the Climate Target Plan as well as the revised “Fit for 55” modelling scenarios suggest some limited role of gaseous fuels that will increasingly be decarbonised in heavy-duty road transport especially in the long haul segment. Furthermore, LPG and CNG vehicles for which already a sufficientsome infrastructure network exists across the Union are expected to gradually be replaced by zero emission drivetrains and therefore only a limitedclimate-neutral alternative fuels, despite this not being an existing market tendency yet. Therefore a targeted policy for LNG infrastructure deployment that can equally supply decarbonised fuels is considered necessary to close remaining gaps in the main networks. As the market for decarbonised heavy-duty vehicles is still developing, a variety of alternative technologies should be incentivised, including via infrastructure planning and adaptation, while taking into account market shares and traffic data.

(9) The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the Union. Continued uneven distribution would jeopardize the uptake of such vehicles, limiting connectivity across the Union. Continuing divergence in policy ambitions and approaches at national level will not create the long-term certainty needed for substantive market investment. Mandatory minimum targets for Member States at national level should therefore provide policy orientations and complement National Policy Frameworks. That approach should combine national fleet based targets with distance-based targets for the trans-European network for transport (TEN-T). National fleet based targets should ensure that vehicle uptake in each Member State is matched with the deployment of sufficient publicly accessible recharging infrastructure. A special attention and higher fleet based targets for centres of relatively higher population density and higher electric vehicles market-share is also needed. Distance-based targets for the TEN-T network should ensure full coverage of electric recharging points along the Union’s main road networks and thereby ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the Union.

The methodology also has to take into account the different recharging patterns of battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, as well as population and market shares of electric vehicles.

In that sense, distribution system operators should cooperate on a non-discriminatory basis with any person establishing or operating publicly accessible recharging points and Member States should ensure that the electricity supply for a recharging point can be the subject of a contract with a supplier other than the entity supplying electricity to the household or premises where this recharging point is located. The access of Union electricity suppliers to recharging points should be without prejudice to the derogations under Article 66 of Directive (EU) 2019/944.

(23) The establishment and operation of recharging points for electric vehicles should be developed as a competitive market with open access to all parties interested in rolling-out or operating recharging infrastructures, on-grid and off- grid. In view of the limited alternative locations on highways, existing highway concessions such as for conventional refuelling stations or rest areas are a particular cause for concern, since they can run over very long periods and sometimes even lack a specified end date altogether. Member States should seek, to the extent possible and in compliance with Directive (EU) 2014/23 of the European Parliament and of the Council53 , to competitively award new concessions specifically for recharging stations on or adjacent to existing highway rest areas in order to limit deployment cost and enable new market entrants. _________________ 53 Directive 2014/23/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the award of concession contracts (OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 1).

(28) At the early stage of market deployment there is still a degree of uncertainty with regard to the kind of vehicles that will come into the market and to the kind of technologies that are going to be widely used. As outlined in the Commission’s communication ‘A hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe’56 the heavy-duty segment was identified as the most likely segment for the early mass deployment of hydrogen vehicles. Therefore, hydrogen refuelling infrastructure should preliminarily focus on that segment while also allowing light-duty vehicles to fuel at publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations. To ensure interoperability, all publicly accessible hydrogen stations should at least serve gaseous hydrogen at 700 bar. The infrastructure roll out should also take into account the emergence of new technologies, such as liquid hydrogen, that allow a larger range for heavy-duty vehicles and are the preferred technology choice of some vehicle manufacturers. To that end, a minimum number of hydrogen refuelling stations should serve also liquid hydrogen in addition to gaseous hydrogen at 700 bar. _________________ 56 COM(2020) 301 final

(29) A number of LNG refuelling points are established in the Union, already providing a backbone for the circulation of LNG driven heavy-duty vehicles. The TEN-T core network should remain the basis for the deployment of LNG infrastructure, and progressively for bio- LNG, as it covers the main traffic flows and allows cross border connectivity throughout the Union. It had been recommended in Directive 2014/94/EU that such refuelling points be installed every 400 km on the TEN-T core network, but certain limited should remain the basis for the deployment of LNG infrastructure, and progressively for bio-LNG, as it covers the main traffic flows and allows cross border connectivity throughout the Union. It had been recommended in Directive 2014/94/EU that such refuelling points be installed every 400 km on the TEN-T core network, but some important gaps in the network remain across the EU to reach that objective. Member States should by 2025 reach that objective and fill the remaining gaps, after which the target should cease to applyLNG stations are insufficient especially in Eastern Europe and in third countries, situated on international transport corridors, including corridors linking different Member States. Member States should by 2025 reach that objective and fill the remaining gaps, after which the target should be adapted to different market scenarios in line with EU and national decarbonisation targets and market shares of alternative fuels.

(32) Shore-side electricity facilities, either fixed or mobile, can serve maritime and inland waterway transport as clean power supply and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of seagoing ships and inland waterway vessels. Under the FuelEU maritime initiative, ship operators of container and passenger ships need to comply with provisions to reduce emissions at berth. Mandatory deployment targets should ensure that the sector finds sufficient shore-side electricity supply in TEN-T core and comprehensive maritime ports to comply with those requirements. The application of these targets to all TEN- T maritime ports should ensure the level playing field between ports.

(40) In order to promote alternative fuels and develop the relevant infrastructure, the national policy frameworks should consist of detailed strategies to promote alternative fuels in sectors that are difficult to decarbonise such as aviation, maritime transport, inland waterway transport as well as rail transport on network segments that cannot be electrified. In particular, Member States should develop clear strategies for the decarbonisation of inland waterway transport along the TEN-T network in close cooperation with those Member States concerned. Long term decarbonisation strategies should also be developed for TEN-T ports and TEN-T airports, in particular with a focus on the deployment of infrastructure for low and zero emission vessels and aircraft as well as for railway lines that are not going to be electrified. On the basis of those strategies, taking into consideration the national market and traffic share data and market projections, the Commission should review this Regulation with a view to setting more mandatory targets for those sectors.

Recital 17 a (new)
(17 a) The EU ETS should contribute to effectively decarbonising maritime transport activities as much as possible. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon fuels will play a considerable role in that process. However, considering the high level of competition between shipping companies and the important price differential between conventional fuels and renewable and low-carbon fuels, this transition should be supported through economic incentives that reflect the environmental benefit of alternative fuels and make them more competitive for shipping companies thereby avoiding carbon leakage. For this purpose, free allowances should be allocated to shipping companies, in proportion to the amount of alternative fuels used and reported. The amount of allowances allocated for free should be adjusted with multipliers in order to take into account that some types of alternative fuels deliver higher environmental benefits and are more costly to purchase for shipping companies. The Commission should regularly review the level of the multipliers based on fuels market price information.

This should be achieved notably through development of innovative technologies for decarbonising the sector, production of sustainable alternative fuels as defined in Regulation on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport XXX/XXX, including systems for collection of raw materials for alternative fuels, investments in research and development and first industrial application of technologies and designs reducing GHG emissions, research for new engines and technologies, and ports infrastructure. The Commission should submit legislative proposals for the creation of a Maritime Fund. The Maritime Fund should be a fully budgeted expenditure programme within the MFF. The budgetary envelope for this programme should be expressed as an amount set at a level equivalent to 50% of the revenue expected from the auctioning of maritime allowances. The Maritime Fund shall be implemented by the Commission in direct management in accordance with the relevant rules adopted pursuant to Article322 TFEU, in particular Regulation(EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 and Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

(3) The European Green Deal combines a comprehensive set of mutually reinforcing measures and initiatives aimed at achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, and sets out a new growth strategy that aims to transform the Union into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, where economic growth is decoupled from resource us and vibrant industries that remain world-leaders in their respective segment and global innovation drivers while securing high-paid quality jobs in Europe. It also aims to protect, conserve and enhance the Union's natural capital, and protect the health and well-being of citizens from environment-related risks and impacts. At the same time, this transition affects women and men differently and has a particular impact on some disadvantaged groups, such as older people, persons with disabilities and persons with a minority racial or ethnic background. It must therefore be ensured that the transition is just and inclusive, leaving no one behind.

(7a) In line with Regulation (EU) 2019/631 the emissions of the entire life cycle of vehicles should be taken into account in order to ensure that emissions are reduced in the most effective manner. Given the strengthened target for 2030, it is important to ensure that a methodology of full life-cycle CO2 emissions for vehicles follows suit. It is therefore necessary that the Commission develop no later than December 31, 2023, an harmonized methodology to report the carbon footprint of the life-cycle of vehicles in order to consider the global impact of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles on the environment. This regulation should be reviewed in 2028 to incorporate this harmonized methodology of an extended carbon accounting as new indicator for further reduction targets beyond 2030.

(8) In order to achieve a reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 % by 2030 compared to 1990, it is necessary to strengthen the reduction requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council25 for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. A clear pathway also needs to be set for further reductions beyond 2030 to contribute to achieving the climate neutrality objective by 2050. Without ambitious action on greenhouse gas emission reductions in road transport, higher emission reductions would be needed in other sectors, including sectors where decarbonisation is more challenging. _________________ 25Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13).

Within the global context, also the EU automotive chain must be a leading actor in the on- going transition towards net zero-greenhouse gas emission mobility and fuels solutions. The strengthened CO2 emission reduction standards armust be technology neutral in reaching the fleet- wide targets that they set. Different technologies are and remain available to reach the zero-emission fleet wide targets. ZLow and zero-emission vehicles currently include battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell and other hydrogen powered vehicles, depending on their respective full lifecycle emissions and technological innovations are continuing.

(12) The updated New Industrial Strategy26 foresees the co-creation of green and digital transition pathways in partnership with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders. In this context, a transition pathway should be developed for the mobility ecosystem to accompany the transition of the automotive value chain. The pathway should take particular heed of SMEs in the automotive supply chain, of the consultation of social partners including by Member States, and also build on the European Skills Agenda with initiatives like the Pact for Skills to mobilise the private sector and other stakeholders to up-skill and re-skill Europe’s workforce in view of the green and digital transitions. The appropriate actions and incentives at European and national level to boost the affordability of low- and zero emission vehicles should also be addressed in the pathway. The progress made on this comprehensive transition pathway for the mobility ecosystem should be monitored every two years as part of a progress report to be submitted by the Commission, looking inter alia at the progress in the deployment of low- and zero- emission vehicles, their price developments, deployment of alternative fuels development and infrastructure roll- out as required under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, the potential of innovative technologies to reach climate neutral mobility, international competitiveness, investments in the automotive value chain, up-skilling and re- skilling of workers and reconversion of activities. The progress report will also build on the two-yearly progress reports that Member States submit under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation. The Commission should consult social partners in the preparation of the progress report, including the results in the social dialogue. Innovations in the automotive supply chain are continuing. Innovative technologies such as the production of electro-fuels with air capture, if further developed, could offer prospects for affordable climate neutral mobility. The Commission should therefore keep track of progress in the state of innovation in the sector as part of its progress report. _________________ 26 Commission Communication - Updating the 2020 New Industrial Strategy: Building a stronger Single Market for Europe’s recovery, COM(2021) 350 final of 5 May 2021

(15) With the stricter EU fleet-wide targets from 2030 onwards, manufacturers will have to deploy significantly more zero-emission vehicles on the Union market. In that context, the incentive mechanism for zero- and low-emission vehicles (‘ZLEV’) would no longer serve its original purpose and would risk undermining the effectiveness of Regulation (EU) 2019/631. The ZLEV incentive mechanism should therefore be removed as of 2030. Before that date and therefore throughout this decade, the incentive mechanism for ZLEV will continue to support the deployment of vehicles with emissions from zero up to 50 g CO2/km, including battery electric vehicles, fuel-cell electric vehicles using hydrogen and well performing plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. After that date, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles continue to count against the fleet-wide targets that vehicle manufacturers must meetlow- and zero- emission vehicles on the Union market. The incentive mechanism for ZLEV will continue to support the deployment of vehicles with emissions from zero up to 50 g CO2/km.

2020/0108(COD)

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) The CovidOVID-19 pandemic is a major shock to the global and Union economy. Due to the necessary containment measures, economic activity in the EU dropped significantly. The contraction in EUMember States' GDP in 2020 is expected to be around 7.5%the worst since the Great Depression, far deeper than during the financial crisis in 2009. The outbreak of the pandemic has shown the interconnectivity of global supply chains and exposed some vulnerabilities such as the over-reliance of strategic industries on non-diversified external supply sources. Such vulnerabilities need to be addressed, to improve the Union’s emergency response as well as the resilience of the entire economy, while maintaining its openness to competition and trade in line with its rules. Investment activity is expected to have dropped significantly. Even before the pandemic, while a recovery in investment-to-GDP ratios in the Union could be observed, it remained below what might be expected in a strong recovery and was insufficient to compensate for years of underinvestment following the 2009 crisis. More importantly, the current investment levels and forecasts do not cover the Union’s needs for structural investment to restart and sustain long-term growth in the face of technological change and global competitiveness, including for innovation, skills, infrastructure, small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) and the need to address key societal challenges such as sustainability or population ageing. Consequently, in order to achieve the Union's policy objectives and to support a swift, inclusive and healthy economic recovery, support is necessary to address market failures and sub-optimal investment situations and to reduce the investment gap in targeted sectors.

(4) At Union level, the European Semester of economic policy coordination is the framework to identify national reform priorities and monitor their implementation. Member States, where appropriate in cooperation with local and regional authorities, develop their own national multiannual investment strategies in support of those reform priorities. Those strategies should be presented alongside the yearly national reform programmes as a way of outlining and coordinating priority investment projects that are to be supported by national funding, Union funding, or both. Those strategies should also use Union funding in a coherent manner and maximise the added value of the financial support to be received notably from the European structural and investment funds, the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the InvestEU Programme. However, country-specific recommendations have often had counterproductive macro- economic effects; notably, in the field of public health they have recommended the weakening of public health systems in several Member States, which therefore found themselves less equipped to deal with the COVID-19 outbreak.

(13) Investment projects that receive substantial Union support, in particular in the area of infrastructure, should be screened by the implementing partner to determine whether they have an environmental, climate or social impact. Investment projects that have such an impact should be subject to sustainability proofing in accordance with guidance that should be developed by the Commission in close cooperation with potential implementing partners under the InvestEU Programme. This guidance should appropriately use the criteria established by [Regulation on establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment] for determining whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable and consistent with the guidance developed for other programmes of the Union. Consistent with the principle of proportionality, such guidance should include adequate provisions for avoiding undue administrative burdens, and projects below a certain size as to be defined in the guidance should be excluded from the sustainability proofing. Where the implementing partner concludes that no sustainability proofing is to be carried out, it should provide a justification to the Investment Committee established for the InvestEU Fund. Operations that are inconsistent with the achievement of the climate objectives should not be eligible for support under this Regulation.

(12) With a view to protecting people in vulnerable situations, including those suffering from mental illnesses, non- communicable diseases and chronic diseases, the Programme should also promote actions which address the collateral impacts of the health crisis on people belonging to such vulnerable groups. With a view to guaranteeing continued high standards of essential healthcare services, the Programme should, especially in times of crisis and pandemics, encourage a transition to telemedicine, home administration of medication, and implementation of preventative and self-care plans, where possible and appropriate, while ensuring that access to healthcare services is provided to chronic patients, taking into account the respective levels of digitisation of the Member States and problems of access to digital solutions in remote areas or for certain population groups.

(17) Non-communicable diseases are a result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors. Such non- communicable diseases as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurological disorders, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes, represent major causes of disability, ill- health, health- related retirement, and premature death in the Union, resulting in considerable social and economic impacts. To decrease the impact of non- communicable diseases on individuals and society in the Union and reach goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals, Target 3.4, to reduce premature mortality from non- communicable diseases by one third by 2030, it is key to provide an integrated response focusing on prevention across sectors and policy fields, combined with efforts to strengthen health systems.

(19) Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the Member States after cardiovascular diseases. It is also one of non-communicable diseases that share common risk factors and the prevention and control of which would benefit the majority of citizens. In 2020 the Commission announced the ‘Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan’ which would cover the entire cycle of the disease starting from prevention and early diagnosis to treatment and quality of life of patients and survivors. The measures should benefit from the Programme and from Horizon Europe’s Mission on Cancer. The actions on cancer should also address its common risk factors and synergies with other major non-communicable diseases, such as neurological diseases, and consider devising a template for other major disease areas based on the ‘Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan’.

Many of these are due to undetected genetic conditions, such as familial hypercholesterolaemia, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathies, and conditions such as hypertension.

In line with the objective to achieve climate neutrality in the Union by 2050 in an effective and fair manner, the European Green Deal announced a Just Transition Mechanism to provide means for facing the climate challengetransition towards a climate-neutral economy while leaving no one behind. The most vulnerable regions and people are the most exposed to the harmful effects of climate change and environmental degradation. At the same time, managing the transition requires significant structural changes. _________________ 9 COM(2019) 640 final.

(5) In order to enhance the economic diversification of territories impacted by the transition, the Facility should cover a wide range of investments, on condition that they contribute to meet the development needs in the transition towards a climate neutral economy, as described in the territorial just transition plans. The investments supported may cover energy and transport infrastructure, district heating networks, green mobility, smalocal public transport, waste management, clean energy and energy efficiency measures including renovations and conversions of buildings, support to transition to a circular economy, land restoration and decontamination, as well as up- and re- skilling, training and social infrastructure, including social housing. Infrastructure developments may also include solutions leading to their enhanced resilience to withstand disasters. Comprehensive investment approach should be favoured in particular for territories with important transition needs. Investments in other sectors could also be supported if they are consistent with the adopted territorial just transition plans. By supporting investments that do not generate sufficient revenues, the Facility aims at providing public sector entities with additional resources necessary to address the social, economic and environmental challendamages resulting from the adjustment to climathe transition. In order to help identify investments with a high positive environmental impact eligible under the Facility, the EU taxonomy on environmentally sustainable economic activities may be used towards a climate-neutral economy.

(22) The objective of this Regulation, namely to leverage public investment in territories, most impacted by the transition towards climate neutrality by addressing the corresponding development needs, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone. The main reasons in this regard are the difficulties for public entities to support investments, which do not generate sufficient streams of own revenues and benefit the territories most negatively impacted by climathe transition, without EU grant support towards a climate-neutral economy, due to the Union's restrictive economic and budgetary policies and the need for a coherent implementation framework under direct management. Since those objectives can be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 TEU. In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,
