Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.1 – paragraph 5
The research and innovation activities of this global challenge will develop the knowledge base, build the research and innovation capacity and develop the solutions needed for a more effective promotion of health and the prevention, treatment and cure of diseases. Improving health outcomes will in turn result in increased life expectancy, healthy active lives and productivity of working age people, and sustainability of health and care systems. Innovation in the field of rapid diagnostic techniques and new antibiotics may prevent the development of antimicrobial resistance and should therefore be promoted.

Annex I – part II – point 1 – point 1.2 – point 1.2.4 – paragraph 1
Protecting people against cross-border health threats is a major challenge for public health as well as the continued efficacy of several antibiotics, calling for effective international cooperation at EU and global level. This will involve prevention (including vaccination), preparedness, early detection, treatment and cure of infectious diseases, and also tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) following a 'One Health approach'. The continued spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria will equally have great detrimental effects to the economy and environment, preventing the development and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria should therefore be categorized as a special challenge.

Amendment 1103 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 8
Annex I – part II – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 8
To make the digitised, circular, low- carbon, bio-based and low-emission economy a reality, action is needed at EU level because of the complexity of value chains, the systemic and multi-disciplinary nature of the technologies and their high development costs, and the cross-sectoral nature of the problems to be addressed. The EU must ensure that all industrial players, and society at large, can benefit from advanced and clean technologies and digitisation. Developing technologies alone will not suffice. Industrially-oriented infrastructures, including pilot lines, will help set up EU businesses and in particular SMEs deploy these technologies and improve their innovation performance.

Manufacturing is a key driver of employment and prosperity in the EU, producing over three quarters of the EU's global exports and providing over a 100 million direct and indirect jobs. The key challenge for EU manufacturing is to remain competitive at a global level with smarter and more customised products of high added value in a sustainable way, produced at much lower energy costs. Creative and cultural inputs will be vital to help generate added value.

Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1
Seas and ocean, oceans and inland waters' natural capital and ecosystem services offer significant socio- economic and welfare benefits. This potential is at risk because of the severe pressure from human and natural stressors such as pollution, nutrient leakage, overfishing, climate change, sea- level rise and extreme weather events. To prevent seas and oceans from reaching a point of no return, it is necessary to strengthen our knowledge and understanding in order to sustainably manage, protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems and prevent marine pollution, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. This will also include research to sustainably unlock the vast and unexploited economic potential of seas and ocean, oceans and inland waters aiming at producing more food without increasing pressures on them, and also contribute to alleviate pressure on land, freshwater and ocean resources. There is a need for partnering approaches, including sea basin and macro-regional strategies, extending beyond the EU (e.g. in the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and in the Indian Ocean); and for contributing to International Ocean Governance commitments, initiatives like the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and commitments linked to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
Amendment 1623 #
