PURPOSE: to enable the EU to participate in the\nPartnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area\n(PRIMA) jointly undertaken by several Member States.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and\nof the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European\nParliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative\nprocedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the process leading to the PRIMA Joint\nProgramme started with the Euro-Mediterranean Conference on\nScience, Technology and Innovation in Barcelona in 2012. The aim is\nto strengthen Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in R&I as part of\nthe broader objectives of the Unions external policy with\nregard to the Southern Neighbourhood.
\nOn 23 December 2014, a group of 19 countries of the\nMediterranean Area submitted to the Commission a proposal for a\nJoint Programme initiative 'Partnership for Research and Innovation\nin the Mediterranean Area' (PRIMA). Among these countries, 14\ncountries have agreed to jointly undertake the PRIMA initiative by\ncommitting financial contributions: Cyprus, Czech Republic, France,\nGreece, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal and Spain, Member States\nof the Union; Israel and Tunisia, third countries associated to Horizon\n2020; Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco (third countries not\nassociated to Horizon 2020).
\nWith 180 million people who are considered 'water\npoor', the Mediterranean area is\ngenerally characterised by high levels of hydric stress. Climate\nchange is increasingly causing severe water shortages in the area,\nwith major impacts on agriculture. Such shortages result in\ndecreasing and irregular crop yields, putting additional pressure\non natural resources and on the capacity to provide clean water and\naffordable food for the regions inhabitants. The\nprogrammes strategic objective is to develop the common\ninnovative solutions for water provision and food systems that the\nMediterranean region urgently needs. The programme is in line with\nthe Communication\nfrom the Commission on establishing a new Partnership Framework\nwith third countries under the European Agenda on\nMigration.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the option withheld is Option 2:\nPRIMA Joint Programme based on Article 185 TFEU which\nenables the EU to make provisions for its participation in research\nand development programmes run by several Member States, including\nits participation in the structures created for the implementation\nof those programmes.
\nPrevious and ongoing Article 185 TFEU initiatives show\nthat such an initiative is likely to have a high leverage effect on\nnational public funds in a stable, long-term and integrated\nmanner.
\nCONTENT: the draft decision provides for the\nparticipation of the EU in the Partnership for Research and\nInnovation in the Mediterranean Area ('PRIMA') jointly\nundertaken by Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Israel,\nItaly, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia.
\nEgypt, Lebanon and Morocco shall become Participating\nStates subject to the conclusion of international agreements with\nthe Union setting out the terms and conditions of their\nparticipation in PRIMA. Any Member State and any country\nassociated to Horizon 2020 may participate in PRIMA provided they\ncontribute to its financing.
\nObjectives: the general\nobjective of PRIMA is to develop the fully piloted and\ndemonstrated common innovative solutions for water provision and\nfood systems in the Mediterranean region, to make them more\nclimate resilient, efficient, cost-effective and sustainable, and\nto contribute to solving nutrition, health, well-being and\nmigration problems upstream.
\nIn order to contribute to the general objective, PRIMA\nshall fulfil the following specific objectives:
\nImplementation: in order\nto ensure the joint implementation of PRIMA, an implementation\nstructure should be set up ('PRIMA-IS'). The PRIMA-IS\nshould be the recipient of the Unions financial contribution\nand it should ensure the efficient implementation of\nPRIMA.
\nPRIMA activities should be in line with the\nobjectives and research and innovation priorities of Horizon\n2020 and with the general principles and conditions laid down\nin the Regulation establishing the 2020 Horizon framework\nprogramme.
\nIn order to achieve the objectives of PRIMA, the\nPRIMA-IS should provide financial support mainly in the form of\ngrants to participants in actions funded by the PRIMAIS.\nThose actions should be selected following open and competitive\ncalls for proposals under the responsibility of the\nPRIMA-IS.
\nThe PRIMA Annual Work Plans (AWP), which is subject to the approval of the\nCommission, will ensure consistency and coordination between all\nactivities and their orientation towards the achievement of the\noperational, specific and general objectives of PRIMA. The proposal\ncontains provisions on the monitoring, evaluation and reporting\narrangements of the initiative.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the EU contribution shall be\nup to EUR 200 million (in current prices) including the EFTA\ncontribution. The EU contribution shall be made as part of the\nimplementation of Horizon 2020.
\nThe Participating States shall make or arrange\nfor their national funding bodies to make financial or in kind\ncontributions of at least EUR 200 000 000 during the period from\nthe date of entry into force of this Decision until 31 December\n2028.
\nPURPOSE: to enable the EU to participate in the\nPartnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area\n(PRIMA) jointly undertaken by several Member States.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and\nof the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European\nParliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative\nprocedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the process leading to the PRIMA Joint\nProgramme started with the Euro-Mediterranean Conference on\nScience, Technology and Innovation in Barcelona in 2012. The aim is\nto strengthen Euro-Mediterranean cooperation in R&I as part of\nthe broader objectives of the Unions external policy with\nregard to the Southern Neighbourhood.
\nOn 23 December 2014, a group of 19 countries of the\nMediterranean Area submitted to the Commission a proposal for a\nJoint Programme initiative 'Partnership for Research and Innovation\nin the Mediterranean Area' (PRIMA). Among these countries, 14\ncountries have agreed to jointly undertake the PRIMA initiative by\ncommitting financial contributions: Cyprus, Czech Republic, France,\nGreece, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal and Spain, Member States\nof the Union; Israel and Tunisia, third countries associated to Horizon\n2020; Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco (third countries not\nassociated to Horizon 2020).
\nWith 180 million people who are considered 'water\npoor', the Mediterranean area is\ngenerally characterised by high levels of hydric stress. Climate\nchange is increasingly causing severe water shortages in the area,\nwith major impacts on agriculture. Such shortages result in\ndecreasing and irregular crop yields, putting additional pressure\non natural resources and on the capacity to provide clean water and\naffordable food for the regions inhabitants. The\nprogrammes strategic objective is to develop the common\ninnovative solutions for water provision and food systems that the\nMediterranean region urgently needs.
