PURPOSE: to present a Bioeconomy Strategy for Europe\nand Action Plan.
\nCONTENT: Europe is confronted with an\nunprecedented and unsustainable exploitation of its natural\nresources, significant and potentially irreversible changes to its\nclimate and a continued loss in biodiversity that threaten the\nstability of the living systems on which it depends. This is\nexacerbated by a world population expected to increase by more than\n30% in the next 40 years, from 7 billion in 2012 to more than 9\nbillion in 2050. Overcoming these complex and inter-connected\nchallenges requires research and innovation in order to achieve\nrapid, concerted and sustained changes in lifestyle and resource\nuse that cut across all levels of society and the\neconomy.
\nThe EU's bioeconomy sectors are worth EUR 2\ntrillion in annual turnover and account for more than 22 million\njobs and approximately 9% of the workforce. However, in order\nto remain competitive and maintain jobs in the light of major\nsocietal challenges and rising markets in the developing world, the\nEuropean bioeconomy sectors need to innovate and further diversify.\nSignificant growth is expected to arise from sustainable primary\nproduction, food processing and industrial biotechnology and\nbiorefineries, which lead to new bio-based industries, transform\nexisting ones, and open new markets for bio-based products. New\nhigh skilled jobs and training options need to be developed to meet\nlabour demands in these industries, as well as in agriculture,\nforestry, fisheries and aquaculture.
\nIt is estimated that direct research funding\nassociated to the Bioeconomy Strategy under Horizon\n2020 could generate about 130 000 jobs and EUR 45 billions in\nvalue added in bioeconomy sectors by 2025. Further growth is\nexpected from other - direct and indirect - public and private\ninvestments in all parts of the bioeconomy. It can be expected that\nbioeconomy sectors will significantly contribute to achieving the\nEurope 2020 objectives.
\nThe Bioeconomy Strategy and its Action Plan aim to\npave the way to a more innovative, resource efficient and\ncompetitive society that reconciles food security with the\nsustainable use of renewable resources for industrial purposes,\nwhile ensuring environmental protection.
\nThey will inform research and innovation agendas in\nbioeconomy sectors and contribute to a more coherent policy\nenvironment, better interrelations between national, EU and\nglobal bioeconomy policies and a more engaged public dialogue. They\nwill seek synergies and respect complementarities with other policy\nareas, instruments and funding sources, which share and address the\nsame objectives, such as the Common Agricultural and Fisheries\nPolicies (CAP and CFP), the Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP),\nenvironmental, industrial, employment, energy and health\npolicies.
\nThe Strategy builds on the Seventh Framework Programme\nfor Research and Technological Development (FP7) and the EU\nFramework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon\n2020).
\nThe Bioeconomy Action Plan: the Plan describes the\nCommission's main actions for the implementation of the Bioeconomy\nStrategy objectives. It has three principal\npillars.
\n1. Investments in research, innovation and\nskills
\n\n· \nensure substantial EU and national funding as\nwell as private investment and partnering for bioeconomy research\nand innovation. Develop further JPI and ERANet activities in\norder to strengthen coherence and synergies between public\nprogrammes. Support bioclusters and KICs under the EIT for\npartnering with the private sector. Outline the main research\nand innovation concepts and priorities for food, sustainable\nagriculture and forestry and for marine and maritime\nactivities under Horizon 2020;
\n\n· \nincrease the share of multi-disciplinary and\ncross-sectoral research and innovation and improve the existing\nknowledge-base and developing new technologies;
\n\n· \npromote the uptake and diffusion of innovation\nin bioeconomy sectors and expand support to knowledge networks,\nadvisory and business support services, notably through EIPs and\nbioclusters;
\n\n· \nbuild the human capacity required to support the\ngrowth and further integration of bioeconomy sectors by organising\nuniversity fora for the development of new bioeconomy curricula and\nvocational training schemes.
\n2. Reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder\nengagement
\n\n· \ncreate a \nBioeconomy Panel that will contribute to enhancing synergies\nand coherence between policies, initiatives and economic sectors\nrelated to the bioeconomy at EU level, linking with existing\nmechanisms (by 2012). Organise regular Bioeconomy Stakeholder\nConferences;
\n\n· \nestablish a\nBioeconomy Observatory that allows the Commission to\nregularly assess the progress of the bioeconomy and develop\nforward-looking and modelling tools (by 2012);
\n\n· \nsupport the development of regional and\nnational bioeconomy strategies by providing a mapping of existing\nresearch and innovation activities, competence centres and\ninfrastructures in the EU (by 2015). Support strategic discussions\nwith authorities responsible for rural and coastal development and\ncohesion policy to maximise the impact of existing funding\nmechanisms;
\n\n· \ndevelop international cooperation on\nbioeconomy research and innovation to jointly address global\nchallenges, such as food security and climate change, as well as\nthe issue of sustainable biomass supply (from 2012).
\n3. Enhancement of markets and competitiveness in\nbioeconomy
\n\n· \nprovide the knowledge-base for sustainable\nintensification of primary production. Improve understanding of\navailability and demand of biomass (including agricultural and\nforestry residues and waste) across sectors, taking into account\nadded value, sustainability, soil fertility and climate mitigation\npotential;
\n\n· \npromote the setting up of networks with \nthe required logistics for integrated and diversified\nbiorefineries, demonstration and pilot plants across Europe. Start\nnegotiations to establish a research and innovation PPP for\nbio-based industries at European level (by 2013);
\n\n· \nsupport the expansion of new markets by \ndeveloping standards and standardised sustainability assessment\nmethodologies for bio-based products and food production systems\nand supporting scale-up activities. Facilitate green\nprocurement for biobased products by developing labels, an initial\nEuropean product information list and specific trainings for public\nprocurers;
\n\n· \ndevelop science-based approaches to inform\nconsumers about product properties (e.g. nutritional benefits,\nproduction methods and environment sustainability) and to promote a\nhealthy and sustainable lifestyle.
\nThe Commission goes on to note that the need to\nincrease public funding for bioeconomy research and innovation has\nbeen recognised under Horizon 2020: almost EUR 4.7\nbillion has been proposed for the Challenge Food\nsecurity, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research,\nand the bioeconomy. There will be further support under\nelements of the Challenges \"Climate action, resource efficiency and\nraw materials\", \"Secure, clean and efficient energy\" and \"Health,\ndemographic changes and wellbeing\".
\nThe European Institute of Innovation and\nTechnology (EIT) with its Knowledge and Innovation Communities\n(KICs) in different areas will address questions related to the\nbioeconomy, in particular under the proposed KIC \"Food4future\".\nThis will be complemented by research and innovation in enabling\nand industrial technologies (e.g. biotechnology, nanotechnology and\nICT) and the promotion of emerging technologies.
\nProviding stakeholders along the entire bioeconomy\nvalue chain with the knowledge base and a toolbox that includes a\nrange of key enabling technologies will also be critical to the\nimplementation of a wide range of bioeconomy-related\npolicies.
\nSeveral Member States have put in place bioeconomy\nresearch programmes and agreed to\nimprove coordination of their research activities through\npublic-public partnering, such as the JPI on \"Healthy and\nProductive Seas and Oceans\". Active collaboration between\nstakeholders is also needed to encourage more private investment\nand entrepreneurship in Europe.

\nThe Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report by Paolo BARTOLOZZI (EPP, IT) on the Commission's communication entitled \"Innovating for sustainable growth: a bioeconomy for Europe\".
\nThe committee welcomes the Commission's communication and highlights the fact that, while 22 million people are already employed in the bioeconomy, accounting for 9% of total employment in the EU, it has a strong potential to employ millions more.
\nGeneral comments: the committee is of the view that the bioeconomy is a prerequisite for achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and, more specifically, of the initiatives ‘The Innovation Union' and ‘A resource-efficient Europe'. It underlines the urgency of taking action now to support innovation and investment in new techniques and business models and to create the incentives that will bring long-term benefits for the economy. It emphasises the key role of the private sector in delivering sustainable economic growth.
\nNational and regional bioeconomy plans: Members call on the Member States to develop national and regional bioeconomy action plans, and request the Commission to present a bi-annual report to Parliament with regard to the implementation of a bioeconomy.
\nTransition to a bioeconomy: Members take the view that the transition to a bioeconomy will enable Europe to take some major steps forward in terms of the low-carbon economy, innovation and competitiveness and will enhance its role on the international scene.
\nBiofuels and bioliquids: the committee recalls that indirect land use change (ILUC) factors for biofuels and bioliquids, as well as binding sustainability criteria for the use of solid and gaseous biomass, should be included in the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive and calls on the Commission to propose a Biomass Framework Directive covering all applications of biomass (energy, fuels, materials and chemicals) and introducing a biomass hierarchy.
\nInvestment in research, innovation and skills:
\n- Research: Members call for more detailed research to establish the social and environmental opportunities, as well as the potential costs of the bioeconomy. They support the establishment of a Bioeconomy Panel of experts to help enhance synergies and coherence between policies and initiatives, and a Bioeconomy Observatory, in order to promote mutual learning.
\n- Practical measures at regional level: Members call on the Commission to propose practical measures of regionally comprehensive scope to promote the production and consumption of bioeconomy products at regional level.
\nNeed for new skills, knowledge and disciplines: the committee stresses that the bioeconomy requires that new skills, new knowledge and new disciplines be developed and/or integrated further in order to tackle bioeconomy-related societal changes, promote competitiveness, growth and job creation, meet the needs of industry and ensure that skills and jobs are better matched.
\n- Biorefineries: the committee emphasises that sufficient quantities of sustainable raw materials are needed for the successful operation of biorefineries in Europe and point out that this will also require improving infrastructures for storage and transport and developing the necessary logistics. It also points out that there are only a limited number of demonstration facilities in Europe and that increased investments are needed in order to maintain the leading role of European industries in the sector of biorefineries. It therefore calls on the Commission and the Member States to support pilot and demonstration activities for the up-scaling of products and processes.
\n- Biomass: in emphasising that bioeconomy policies must be better designed to ensure a cascading use of biomass, Members call for the development of a legal instrument that will pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable use of this resource. They stress that such an instrument should establish a cascading use principle in the ‘pyramid of biomass'. This approach would lead to a hierarchical, smart and efficient use of biomass, to value-adding applications and to supporting measures, such as coordination of research along the whole value chain.
\n- Reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder engagement: the committee considers it necessary to ensure an integrated, coherent, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary approach to bioeconomy, and calls for the harmonisation of the different EU policies involved and the related guiding principles.
\n- Financial instruments: Members call on the Commission to make provisions for financial instruments to support pre-commercial investments, turn research findings into commercial successes and enable innovative companies, especially SMEs, to find financial and other support instruments encouraging the development of the bioeconomy. This could be, for example, through the use of Structural Funds and European Investment Bank risk-sharing facilities, through increased coherence between different EU research and innovation funds, and through the establishment of a one-stop shop for information about all bio-based economy related initiatives.
\n- Less bureaucracy: the committee calls for targeted and specific action to reduce the complexity and duration of the bureaucratic authorisation procedures that complicate biorefinery development processes and are likely to encourage the transfer of innovative, cutting-edge technologies outside the EU.
\n- Public-private partnerships: Members approve the use of the public-private partnership (PPP) formula, drawing adequate lessons from the problems that emerged in previous applications of the same formula to other sectors and call on the Commission to allocate adequate resources for development and growth of such partnerships.
\n- Regional and local dimension: Members agree with the need for a multi-level approach, and calls for increasing attention to be paid to the regional and local dimension of the bioeconomy and to bottom-up initiatives. They believe that bottom-up initiatives are important in creating a bio-based society and that a business- and demand-driven approach, combined with a government-driven approach, is crucial. The Commission is urged to support networks and clusters to promote exchanges of experiences within and between regions.
\nEnhancement of markets and competitiveness:
\n- Market-creating tools: Members take the view that there are a number of excellent tools (public procurement, standardisation, tax incentives, certification systems and specific labelling) that could secure a sufficient supply of sustainable and high-quality bio-based products as well as provide resource-efficient production systems. They believe that reform of the current legislation is required and call on the Commission to develop sustainability criteria for the use of biomass on which also market-creating tools should be based.
\n- Sound political framework: Members stress that a bio-based economy that relies on exploitation of biological resources instead of fossil energy must be guided by a sound political framework that takes into account not only economic viability but also social and ecological sustainability factors.
\n- Long-term bioeconomy strategy: the committee stresses the need to develop a long-term bioeconomy strategy, taking due account of the need to ensure food security, and takes the view that synergy and close cooperation along the value chain, including local producers of agricultural and forestry raw materials and biorefineries, would help strengthen the competitiveness and increase the profitability of rural regions.
\n- Feedstock: Members call on the Commission to promote measures to increase feedstock potentials in a sustainable manner, better mobilise such feedstocks, collect biodegradable waste - avoiding extensive transportation - and ensure that biomass use remains within ecological boundaries and does not reduce the carbon sink function. They consider it urgent, in this context, to establish sustainability criteria for biomass energy use to ensure the availability of biomass for more resource-efficient purposes, preventing incentives for the transformation of biomass into energy from creating market distortions and reducing its availability for producers.
\n- Enabling legislation: Members call for better and enabling legislation providing legal certainty and strong support for sustainable use of bioeconomy resources and exploitation of raw materials, and for policy to be based, in every respect, on a flexible, long-term approach that promotes investments.
\n- Environmentally harmful subsidies: Members urge the Commission to define environmentally harmful subsidies as ‘a result of a government action that confers an advantage on consumers or producers, in order to supplement their income or lower their costs, but in doing so, discriminates against sound environmental practices'. They call on it and the Member States to adopt, without delay, concrete plans, based on this definition, for progressively phasing out all such subsidies by 2020, and to report on progress through the National Reform Programmes.
\nLastly, the committee deems it crucial to develop international legally binding sustainability standards for all sectors of biomass usage, as well as binding sustainable forest management criteria. It urges the EU to pursue the adoption of multilateral agreements and provide, especially for LDCs, related institutional and technical support for ensuring the sustainable use of biomass. \n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the\nCommission's communication entitled \"Innovating for sustainable\ngrowth: a bioeconomy for Europe\".
\nIt welcomes the Commission's communication and the\naction plan set out therein and highlights the fact that, while 22\nmillion people are already employed in the bioeconomy, accounting\nfor 9% of total employment in the EU, the sector has a strong\npotential to employ millions more.
\nGeneral comments: Parliament is of the view that the bioeconomy is a\nprerequisite for achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020\nstrategy and, more specifically, of the initiatives The Innovation Union' and\nA resource-efficient Europe'.\nIt underlines the urgency of taking action now to support\ninnovation and investment in new techniques and business models\nand to create the incentives that will bring long-term benefits for\nthe economy. It emphasises the key role of the private sector in\ndelivering sustainable economic growth.
\n- National and regional bioeconomy plans:\nParliament calls on the Member States to\ndevelop national and regional bioeconomy action plans, and\nrequests the Commission to present a bi-annual report to Parliament\nwith regard to the implementation of a bioeconomy.
\n- Biofuels and bioliquids: Parliament recalls that indirect land use change\n(ILUC) factors for biofuels and bioliquids, as well as binding\nsustainability criteria for the use of solid and gaseous biomass,\nshould be included in the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel\nQuality Directive and calls on the Commission to propose a Biomass\nFramework Directive covering all applications of biomass (energy,\nfuels, materials and chemicals) and introducing a biomass\nhierarchy.
\nInvestment in research, innovation and\nskills:
\n- Research into costs and opportunities:\nParliament calls for more detailed research to\nestablish the social and environmental opportunities, as well as\nthe potential costs of the bioeconomy. It supports the\nestablishment of a Bioeconomy Panel of experts to help enhance\nsynergies and coherence between policies and initiatives, and a\nBioeconomy Observatory, in order to promote mutual\nlearning.
\n- Obstacles to innovation: Parliament calls for the elimination of existing\nobstacles to innovation along the value chain, notably by rapid\nand science-based EU approval procedures for biotechnological\nproducts and much faster market access.
\n- Practical measures at regional level:\nParliament calls on the Commission to propose\npractical measures of regionally comprehensive scope to\npromote the production and consumption of bioeconomy products at\nregional level.
\n- Need for new skills, knowledge and\ndisciplines: Parliament stresses that\nthe bioeconomy requires that new skills, new knowledge and new\ndisciplines be developed and/or integrated further in order to\ntackle bioeconomy-related societal changes, promote\ncompetitiveness, growth and job creation, meet the needs of\nindustry and ensure that skills and jobs are better\nmatched.
\n- Horizon 2020: Parliament hopes that the EUR 4.5 billion budget\nproposed by the Commission in Horizon 2020 will be made available\nto all sectors and instruments of the bioeconomy and for the\npurpose of further refining innovations, including research\non the ecosystem boundaries, reuse and recycling of\nbiomaterials.
\n- Biorefineries: the\nresolution emphasises that sufficient quantities of sustainable raw\nmaterials are needed for the successful operation of biorefineries\nin Europe and points out that this will also require improving\ninfrastructures for storage and transport and developing the\nnecessary logistics. Parliament also calls on the Commission\nand the Member States to support pilot and demonstration activities\nfor the up-scaling of products and processes.
\n- Biomass: Parliament\ncalls for the development of a legal instrument that will\npave the way for a more efficient and sustainable use of this\nresource. It stresses that such an instrument should establish a\ncascading use principle in the pyramid of biomass'.\nThis approach would lead to a hierarchical, smart and efficient use\nof biomass, to value-adding applications and to supporting\nmeasures, such as coordination of research along the whole value\nchain.
\nReinforced policy interaction and stakeholder\nengagement:
\n- Interdisciplinary approach: Parliament considers it necessary to ensure an\nintegrated, coherent, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary\napproach to bioeconomy, and calls for the harmonisation of the\ndifferent EU policies involved and the related guiding\nprinciples.
\n- Financial instruments: Parliament calls on the Commission to make provisions\nfor financial instruments to support pre-commercial investments,\nturn research findings into commercial successes and enable\ninnovative companies, especially SMEs, to find financial and other\nsupport instruments encouraging the development of the bioeconomy.\nThis could be, for example, through the use of Structural Funds and\nEuropean Investment Bank risk-sharing facilities, through increased\ncoherence between different EU research and innovation funds, and\nthrough the establishment of a one-stop shop for information about\nall bio-based economy related initiatives.
\n- Less bureaucracy: the\nresolution calls for targeted and specific action to reduce the\ncomplexity and duration of the bureaucratic authorisation\nprocedures that complicate biorefinery development processes\nand are likely to encourage the transfer of innovative,\ncutting-edge technologies outside the EU.

It calls on it and the Member States to adopt, without\ndelay, concrete plans, based on this definition, for\nprogressively phasing out all such subsidies by 2020, and to\nreport on progress through the National Reform\nProgrammes.
\nLastly, Parliament deems it crucial to develop\ninternational legally binding sustainability standards for all\nsectors of biomass usage, as well as binding sustainable forest\nmanagement criteria. It urges the EU to pursue the adoption of\nmultilateral agreements and provide, especially for LDCs,\nrelated institutional and technical support for ensuring the\nsustainable use of biomass.
\nPURPOSE: to present a Bioeconomy Strategy for Europe\nand Action Plan.
\nCONTENT: Europe is confronted with an\nunprecedented and unsustainable exploitation of its natural\nresources, significant and potentially irreversible changes to its\nclimate and a continued loss in biodiversity that threaten the\nstability of the living systems on which it depends. This is\nexacerbated by a world population expected to increase by more than\n30% in the next 40 years, from 7 billion in 2012 to more than 9\nbillion in 2050. Overcoming these complex and inter-connected\nchallenges requires research and innovation in order to achieve\nrapid, concerted and sustained changes in lifestyle and resource\nuse that cut across all levels of society and the\neconomy.
\nThe EU's bioeconomy sectors are worth EUR 2\ntrillion in annual turnover and account for more than 22 million\njobs and approximately 9% of the workforce. However, in order\nto remain competitive and maintain jobs in the light of major\nsocietal challenges and rising markets in the developing world, the\nEuropean bioeconomy sectors need to innovate and further diversify.\nSignificant growth is expected to arise from sustainable primary\nproduction, food processing and industrial biotechnology and\nbiorefineries, which lead to new bio-based industries, transform\nexisting ones, and open new markets for bio-based products. New\nhigh skilled jobs and training options need to be developed to meet\nlabour demands in these industries, as well as in agriculture,\nforestry, fisheries and aquaculture.
\nIt is estimated that direct research funding\nassociated to the Bioeconomy Strategy under Horizon\n2020 could generate about 130 000 jobs and EUR 45 billions in\nvalue added in bioeconomy sectors by 2025. Further growth is\nexpected from other - direct and indirect - public and private\ninvestments in all parts of the bioeconomy. It can be expected that\nbioeconomy sectors will significantly contribute to achieving the\nEurope 2020 objectives.
\nThe Bioeconomy Strategy and its Action Plan aim to\npave the way to a more innovative, resource efficient and\ncompetitive society that reconciles food security with the\nsustainable use of renewable resources for industrial purposes,\nwhile ensuring environmental protection.
\nThey will inform research and innovation agendas in\nbioeconomy sectors and contribute to a more coherent policy\nenvironment, better interrelations between national, EU and\nglobal bioeconomy policies and a more engaged public dialogue. They\nwill seek synergies and respect complementarities with other policy\nareas, instruments and funding sources, which share and address the\nsame objectives, such as the Common Agricultural and Fisheries\nPolicies (CAP and CFP), the Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP),\nenvironmental, industrial, employment, energy and health\npolicies.
\nThe Strategy builds on the Seventh Framework Programme\nfor Research and Technological Development (FP7) and the EU\nFramework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon\n2020).
\nThe Bioeconomy Action Plan: the Plan describes the\nCommission's main actions for the implementation of the Bioeconomy\nStrategy objectives. It has three principal\npillars.
\n1. Investments in research, innovation and\nskills
\n\n· \nensure substantial EU and national funding as\nwell as private investment and partnering for bioeconomy research\nand innovation. Develop further JPI and ERANet activities in\norder to strengthen coherence and synergies between public\nprogrammes. Support bioclusters and KICs under the EIT for\npartnering with the private sector. Outline the main research\nand innovation concepts and priorities for food, sustainable\nagriculture and forestry and for marine and maritime\nactivities under Horizon 2020;
\n\n· \nincrease the share of multi-disciplinary and\ncross-sectoral research and innovation and improve the existing\nknowledge-base and developing new technologies;
\n\n· \npromote the uptake and diffusion of innovation\nin bioeconomy sectors and expand support to knowledge networks,\nadvisory and business support services, notably through EIPs and\nbioclusters;
\n\n· \nbuild the human capacity required to support the\ngrowth and further integration of bioeconomy sectors by organising\nuniversity fora for the development of new bioeconomy curricula and\nvocational training schemes.
\n2. Reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder\nengagement
\n\n· \ncreate a \nBioeconomy Panel that will contribute to enhancing synergies\nand coherence between policies, initiatives and economic sectors\nrelated to the bioeconomy at EU level, linking with existing\nmechanisms (by 2012). Organise regular Bioeconomy Stakeholder\nConferences;
\n\n· \nestablish a\nBioeconomy Observatory that allows the Commission to\nregularly assess the progress of the bioeconomy and develop\nforward-looking and modelling tools (by 2012);
\n\n· \nsupport the development of regional and\nnational bioeconomy strategies by providing a mapping of existing\nresearch and innovation activities, competence centres and\ninfrastructures in the EU (by 2015). Support strategic discussions\nwith authorities responsible for rural and coastal development and\ncohesion policy to maximise the impact of existing funding\nmechanisms;
\n\n· \ndevelop international cooperation on\nbioeconomy research and innovation to jointly address global\nchallenges, such as food security and climate change, as well as\nthe issue of sustainable biomass supply (from 2012).
\n3. Enhancement of markets and competitiveness in\nbioeconomy
\n\n· \nprovide the knowledge-base for sustainable\nintensification of primary production. Improve understanding of\navailability and demand of biomass (including agricultural and\nforestry residues and waste) across sectors, taking into account\nadded value, sustainability, soil fertility and climate mitigation\npotential;
\n\n· \npromote the setting up of networks with \nthe required logistics for integrated and diversified\nbiorefineries, demonstration and pilot plants across Europe. Start\nnegotiations to establish a research and innovation PPP for\nbio-based industries at European level (by 2013);
\n\n· \nsupport the expansion of new markets by \ndeveloping standards and standardised sustainability assessment\nmethodologies for bio-based products and food production systems\nand supporting scale-up activities. Facilitate green\nprocurement for biobased products by developing labels, an initial\nEuropean product information list and specific trainings for public\nprocurers;
\n\n· \ndevelop science-based approaches to inform\nconsumers about product properties (e.g. nutritional benefits,\nproduction methods and environment sustainability) and to promote a\nhealthy and sustainable lifestyle.
\nThe Commission goes on to note that the need to\nincrease public funding for bioeconomy research and innovation has\nbeen recognised under Horizon 2020: almost EUR 4.7\nbillion has been proposed for the Challenge Food\nsecurity, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research,\nand the bioeconomy. There will be further support under\nelements of the Challenges \"Climate action, resource efficiency and\nraw materials\", \"Secure, clean and efficient energy\" and \"Health,\ndemographic changes and wellbeing\".
\nThe European Institute of Innovation and\nTechnology (EIT) with its Knowledge and Innovation Communities\n(KICs) in different areas will address questions related to the\nbioeconomy, in particular under the proposed KIC \"Food4future\".\nThis will be complemented by research and innovation in enabling\nand industrial technologies (e.g. biotechnology, nanotechnology and\nICT) and the promotion of emerging technologies.
\nProviding stakeholders along the entire bioeconomy\nvalue chain with the knowledge base and a toolbox that includes a\nrange of key enabling technologies will also be critical to the\nimplementation of a wide range of bioeconomy-related\npolicies.
\nSeveral Member States have put in place bioeconomy\nresearch programmes and agreed to\nimprove coordination of their research activities through\npublic-public partnering, such as the JPI on \"Healthy and\nProductive Seas and Oceans\". Active collaboration between\nstakeholders is also needed to encourage more private investment\nand entrepreneurship in Europe.

\nThe Strategy builds on the Seventh Framework Programme\nfor Research and Technological Development (FP7) and the EU\nFramework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon\n2020).
\nThe Bioeconomy Action Plan: the Plan describes the\nCommission's main actions for the implementation of the Bioeconomy\nStrategy objectives. It has three principal\npillars.
\n1. Investments in research, innovation and\nskills
\n\n· \nensure substantial EU and national funding as\nwell as private investment and partnering for bioeconomy research\nand innovation. Develop further JPI and ERANet activities in\norder to strengthen coherence and synergies between public\nprogrammes. Support bioclusters and KICs under the EIT for\npartnering with the private sector. Outline the main research\nand innovation concepts and priorities for food, sustainable\nagriculture and forestry and for marine and maritime\nactivities under Horizon 2020;
\n\n· \nincrease the share of multi-disciplinary and\ncross-sectoral research and innovation and improve the existing\nknowledge-base and developing new technologies;
\n\n· \npromote the uptake and diffusion of innovation\nin bioeconomy sectors and expand support to knowledge networks,\nadvisory and business support services, notably through EIPs and\nbioclusters;
\n\n· \nbuild the human capacity required to support the\ngrowth and further integration of bioeconomy sectors by organising\nuniversity fora for the development of new bioeconomy curricula and\nvocational training schemes.
\n2. Reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder\nengagement
\n\n· \ncreate a \nBioeconomy Panel that will contribute to enhancing synergies\nand coherence between policies, initiatives and economic sectors\nrelated to the bioeconomy at EU level, linking with existing\nmechanisms (by 2012). Organise regular Bioeconomy Stakeholder\nConferences;
\n\n· \nestablish a\nBioeconomy Observatory that allows the Commission to\nregularly assess the progress of the bioeconomy and develop\nforward-looking and modelling tools (by 2012);
\n\n· \nsupport the development of regional and\nnational bioeconomy strategies by providing a mapping of existing\nresearch and innovation activities, competence centres and\ninfrastructures in the EU (by 2015). Support strategic discussions\nwith authorities responsible for rural and coastal development and\ncohesion policy to maximise the impact of existing funding\nmechanisms;
\n\n· \ndevelop international cooperation on\nbioeconomy research and innovation to jointly address global\nchallenges, such as food security and climate change, as well as\nthe issue of sustainable biomass supply (from 2012).
\n3. Enhancement of markets and competitiveness in\nbioeconomy
\n\n· \nprovide the knowledge-base for sustainable\nintensification of primary production. Improve understanding of\navailability and demand of biomass (including agricultural and\nforestry residues and waste) across sectors, taking into account\nadded value, sustainability, soil fertility and climate mitigation\npotential;
\n\n· \npromote the setting up of networks with \nthe required logistics for integrated and diversified\nbiorefineries, demonstration and pilot plants across Europe. Start\nnegotiations to establish a research and innovation PPP for\nbio-based industries at European level (by 2013);
\n\n· \nsupport the expansion of new markets by \ndeveloping standards and standardised sustainability assessment\nmethodologies for bio-based products and food production systems\nand supporting scale-up activities. Facilitate green\nprocurement for biobased products by developing labels, an initial\nEuropean product information list and specific trainings for public\nprocurers;
\n\n· \ndevelop science-based approaches to inform\nconsumers about product properties (e.g. nutritional benefits,\nproduction methods and environment sustainability) and to promote a\nhealthy and sustainable lifestyle.
\nThe Commission goes on to note that the need to\nincrease public funding for bioeconomy research and innovation has\nbeen recognised under Horizon 2020: almost EUR 4.7\nbillion has been proposed for the Challenge Food\nsecurity, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research,\nand the bioeconomy. There will be further support under\nelements of the Challenges \"Climate action, resource efficiency and\nraw materials\", \"Secure, clean and efficient energy\" and \"Health,\ndemographic changes and wellbeing\".
\nThe European Institute of Innovation and\nTechnology (EIT) with its Knowledge and Innovation Communities\n(KICs) in different areas will address questions related to the\nbioeconomy, in particular under the proposed KIC \"Food4future\".\nThis will be complemented by research and innovation in enabling\nand industrial technologies (e.g. biotechnology, nanotechnology and\nICT) and the promotion of emerging technologies.
\nProviding stakeholders along the entire bioeconomy\nvalue chain with the knowledge base and a toolbox that includes a\nrange of key enabling technologies will also be critical to the\nimplementation of a wide range of bioeconomy-related\npolicies.
\nSeveral Member States have put in place bioeconomy\nresearch programmes and agreed to\nimprove coordination of their research activities through\npublic-public partnering, such as the JPI on \"Healthy and\nProductive Seas and Oceans\". Active collaboration between\nstakeholders is also needed to encourage more private investment\nand entrepreneurship in Europe.
\nThe Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report by Paolo BARTOLOZZI (EPP, IT) on the Commission's communication entitled \"Innovating for sustainable growth: a bioeconomy for Europe\".
\nThe committee welcomes the Commission's communication and highlights the fact that, while 22 million people are already employed in the bioeconomy, accounting for 9% of total employment in the EU, it has a strong potential to employ millions more.
\nGeneral comments: the committee is of the view that the bioeconomy is a prerequisite for achieving the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and, more specifically, of the initiatives ‘The Innovation Union' and ‘A resource-efficient Europe'. It underlines the urgency of taking action now to support innovation and investment in new techniques and business models and to create the incentives that will bring long-term benefits for the economy. It emphasises the key role of the private sector in delivering sustainable economic growth.
\nNational and regional bioeconomy plans: Members call on the Member States to develop national and regional bioeconomy action plans, and request the Commission to present a bi-annual report to Parliament with regard to the implementation of a bioeconomy.
\nTransition to a bioeconomy: Members take the view that the transition to a bioeconomy will enable Europe to take some major steps forward in terms of the low-carbon economy, innovation and competitiveness and will enhance its role on the international scene.
\nBiofuels and bioliquids: the committee recalls that indirect land use change (ILUC) factors for biofuels and bioliquids, as well as binding sustainability criteria for the use of solid and gaseous biomass, should be included in the Renewable Energy Directive and the Fuel Quality Directive and calls on the Commission to propose a Biomass Framework Directive covering all applications of biomass (energy, fuels, materials and chemicals) and introducing a biomass hierarchy.
\nInvestment in research, innovation and skills:
\n- Research: Members call for more detailed research to establish the social and environmental opportunities, as well as the potential costs of the bioeconomy. They support the establishment of a Bioeconomy Panel of experts to help enhance synergies and coherence between policies and initiatives, and a Bioeconomy Observatory, in order to promote mutual learning.
\n- Practical measures at regional level: Members call on the Commission to propose practical measures of regionally comprehensive scope to promote the production and consumption of bioeconomy products at regional level.
\nNeed for new skills, knowledge and disciplines: the committee stresses that the bioeconomy requires that new skills, new knowledge and new disciplines be developed and/or integrated further in order to tackle bioeconomy-related societal changes, promote competitiveness, growth and job creation, meet the needs of industry and ensure that skills and jobs are better matched.
\n- Biorefineries: the committee emphasises that sufficient quantities of sustainable raw materials are needed for the successful operation of biorefineries in Europe and point out that this will also require improving infrastructures for storage and transport and developing the necessary logistics. It also points out that there are only a limited number of demonstration facilities in Europe and that increased investments are needed in order to maintain the leading role of European industries in the sector of biorefineries. It therefore calls on the Commission and the Member States to support pilot and demonstration activities for the up-scaling of products and processes.
\n- Biomass: in emphasising that bioeconomy policies must be better designed to ensure a cascading use of biomass, Members call for the development of a legal instrument that will pave the way for a more efficient and sustainable use of this resource. They stress that such an instrument should establish a cascading use principle in the ‘pyramid of biomass'. This approach would lead to a hierarchical, smart and efficient use of biomass, to value-adding applications and to supporting measures, such as coordination of research along the whole value chain.
\n- Reinforced policy interaction and stakeholder engagement: the committee considers it necessary to ensure an integrated, coherent, cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary approach to bioeconomy, and calls for the harmonisation of the different EU policies involved and the related guiding principles.
\n- Financial instruments: Members call on the Commission to make provisions for financial instruments to support pre-commercial investments, turn research findings into commercial successes and enable innovative companies, especially SMEs, to find financial and other support instruments encouraging the development of the bioeconomy. This could be, for example, through the use of Structural Funds and European Investment Bank risk-sharing facilities, through increased coherence between different EU research and innovation funds, and through the establishment of a one-stop shop for information about all bio-based economy related initiatives.
\n- Less bureaucracy: the committee calls for targeted and specific action to reduce the complexity and duration of the bureaucratic authorisation procedures that complicate biorefinery development processes and are likely to encourage the transfer of innovative, cutting-edge technologies outside the EU.
\n- Public-private partnerships: Members approve the use of the public-private partnership (PPP) formula, drawing adequate lessons from the problems that emerged in previous applications of the same formula to other sectors and call on the Commission to allocate adequate resources for development and growth of such partnerships.
\n- Regional and local dimension: Members agree with the need for a multi-level approach, and calls for increasing attention to be paid to the regional and local dimension of the bioeconomy and to bottom-up initiatives. They believe that bottom-up initiatives are important in creating a bio-based society and that a business- and demand-driven approach, combined with a government-driven approach, is crucial. The Commission is urged to support networks and clusters to promote exchanges of experiences within and between regions.
\nEnhancement of markets and competitiveness:
\n- Market-creating tools: Members take the view that there are a number of excellent tools (public procurement, standardisation, tax incentives, certification systems and specific labelling) that could secure a sufficient supply of sustainable and high-quality bio-based products as well as provide resource-efficient production systems. They believe that reform of the current legislation is required and call on the Commission to develop sustainability criteria for the use of biomass on which also market-creating tools should be based.
\n- Sound political framework: Members stress that a bio-based economy that relies on exploitation of biological resources instead of fossil energy must be guided by a sound political framework that takes into account not only economic viability but also social and ecological sustainability factors.
\n- Long-term bioeconomy strategy: the committee stresses the need to develop a long-term bioeconomy strategy, taking due account of the need to ensure food security, and takes the view that synergy and close cooperation along the value chain, including local producers of agricultural and forestry raw materials and biorefineries, would help strengthen the competitiveness and increase the profitability of rural regions.
\n- Feedstock: Members call on the Commission to promote measures to increase feedstock potentials in a sustainable manner, better mobilise such feedstocks, collect biodegradable waste - avoiding extensive transportation - and ensure that biomass use remains within ecological boundaries and does not reduce the carbon sink function. They consider it urgent, in this context, to establish sustainability criteria for biomass energy use to ensure the availability of biomass for more resource-efficient purposes, preventing incentives for the transformation of biomass into energy from creating market distortions and reducing its availability for producers.
\n- Enabling legislation: Members call for better and enabling legislation providing legal certainty and strong support for sustainable use of bioeconomy resources and exploitation of raw materials, and for policy to be based, in every respect, on a flexible, long-term approach that promotes investments.
\n- Environmentally harmful subsidies: Members urge the Commission to define environmentally harmful subsidies as ‘a result of a government action that confers an advantage on consumers or producers, in order to supplement their income or lower their costs, but in doing so, discriminates against sound environmental practices'. They call on it and the Member States to adopt, without delay, concrete plans, based on this definition, for progressively phasing out all such subsidies by 2020, and to report on progress through the National Reform Programmes.
\nLastly, the committee deems it crucial to develop international legally binding sustainability standards for all sectors of biomass usage, as well as binding sustainable forest management criteria. It urges the EU to pursue the adoption of multilateral agreements and provide, especially for LDCs, related institutional and technical support for ensuring the sustainable use of biomass. \n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the\nCommission's communication entitled \"Innovating for sustainable\ngrowth: a bioeconomy for Europe\".
\nIt welcomes the Commission's communication and the\naction plan set out therein and highlights the fact that, while 22\nmillion people are already employed in the bioeconomy, accounting\nfor 9% of total employment in the EU, the sector has a strong\npotential to employ millions more.
