Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – point 3 – paragraph 4
Annex 1 – point 3 – paragraph 4
Cross-cutting action will also be vital in stimulating the interactions between the societal challenges and the enabling and industrial technologies needed to generate major technological breakthroughs. Examples of where such interactions may be developed are: the domain of eHealth, smart grids, energy storage, intelligent transport systems, mainstreaming of climate actions, nanomedicine, advanced materials for lightweight vehicles or the development of bio-based industrial processes and products. Strong synergies will therefore be fostered between the societal challenges and the development of generic enabling and industrial technologies. This will be explicitly taken into account in developing the multi-annual strategies and the priority setting for each of these specific objectives. It will require that stakeholders representing the different perspectives are fully involved in the implementation and in many cases, it will also require actions which bring together funding from the enabling and industrial technologies and the societal challenges concerned.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 1
Effective health promotion, supported by a robust evidence base, prevents disease, improves wellbeing and is cost effective. Health promotion and disease prevention also depend on an understanding of the determinants of health, on research on primary and secondary prevention, on effective preventive tools, such as vaccines, on effective health and disease surveillance and preparedness, and on effective screening programmes.
Amendment 141 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.8 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.8 – paragraph 1
There is a need to support the improvement of cross-cutting support technologies for drugs, vaccines and other therapeutic approaches, including transplantation, gene and cell therapy; to increase success in the drug and vaccine development process (including alternative methods to replace classical safety and effectiveness testing e.g. the development of new methods); to develop regenerative medicine approaches, including approaches based on stem cells; to develop improved medical and assistive devices and systems; to maintain and enhance our ability to combat communicable, rare, major and chronic diseases and undertake medical interventions that depend on the availability of effective antimicrobial drugs; to promote a more efficient and better use of the current and new diagnostic tools in order to fight antimicrobial resistance; and to develop comprehensive approaches to treat co- morbidities at all ages and avoid poly- pharmacy. These improvements will facilitate the development of new, more efficient, effective and sustainable treatments for disease and for the management of disability.
Amendment 172 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 3.2 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 3.2 – paragraph 1
Electricity will play a central role in the establishment of an environmentally sustainable low-carbon economy. The uptake of low-carbon electricity generation is too slow due to the high costs involved. There is a pressing need to find solutions that reduce costs significantly, with enhanced performance and sustainability, to accelerate the market deployment of low carbon electricity generation as well as to develop cost-efficient energy storage methods. In particular to:
Amendment 177 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 3.2 – point 3.2.2 – paragraph 3
Annex 1 – part III – point 3.2 – point 3.2.2 – paragraph 3
For CSP, the focus will be on developing ways to increase efficiency while reducing costs and environmental impact, enabling industrial up-scaling of demonstrated technologies by building first-of-a-kind power plants. Solutions to efficiently combine the production of solar electricity with water desalination will be tested. Solutions to efficiently store solar power will also be tested.
Amendment 201 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – part III – point 6.3.1 – title
Annex 1 – part III – point 6.3.1 – title
6.3.1. Fighting organised crime and terrorism.
