Recital 24
(24) Research and innovation activities supported by Horizon 2020 should respect fundamental ethical principles. The opinions of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies should be taken into account. Research activities should also take into account Article 13 TFEU and reduce the use of animals in research and testing, with a view ultimately to replacing animal use, including through strategic development, integration and use of innovative, non-animal tools and technologies. All activities should be carried out ensuring a high level of human health protection in accordance with Article 168 TFEU.

Amendment 1459 #
Proposal for a regulation
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4
To achieve these reductions, significant investments need to be made in research, development, demonstration and market roll-out of efficient, safe and secure and reliable low- carbon energy technologies and services, including electricity storage technologies. These must go hand in hand with non- technological solutions on both the supply and demand sides. All this must be part of an integrated low-carbon policy, including mastering key enabling technologies, in particular ICT solutions and advanced manufacturing, processing and materials. The goal is to produce efficient and secure energy technologies and services that can be taken up widely on European and international markets and to establish intelligent demand-side management based on an open and transparent energy trade market and intelligent energy efficiency and security management systems.
