PURPOSE: to amend Council Regulation (EU) No 560/2014\nestablishing the Bio-base Industries Joint Undertaking, in order to\nenable members of the Bio-based Industries Consortium to fulfil\ntheir obligation to contribute financially.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Council Regulation.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the Council shall\nadopt the act after consulting the European Parliament but without\nbeing obliged to follow the opinion of the European\nParliament.
\nBACKGROUND: The Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking\n(BBI JU) was established by Council Regulation (EU) No 560/2014 for the implementation of the Joint Technology\nInitiative on Bio-based Industries (the BBI JU initiative) until 31\nDecember 2024. The BBI JU is a body responsible for the\nimplementation of a public-private partnership whose members are,\non the one hand, the Union, represented by the Commission, and, on\nthe other hand, the Bio-based Industries consortium.
\nThe statutes of the Bio-based industries Joint\nUndertaking stipulate that the financial contribution to\noperational costs of the members of the Bio-based Industries Joint\nUndertaking, other than the Union, shall be at least EUR 182 500\n000 up to 31 December 2024.
\nThe Bio-based Industries Consortium recognises its\nobligation to pay a financial contribution of at least EUR 182 500\n000 before 31 December 2024, but it has found difficulties with\nthe delivery mode.
\nMany members of the Bio-based Industries consortium\nbelieve that it is not commercially viable to make a financial\ncontribution at the programme level because this method does not\nguarantee any profits in return and that this could benefit\ncompetitors participating in projects funded by the Bio-based\nIndustries JU. As a result, the Bio-based Industries consortium\nproposed a different method of payment of the financial\ncontribution, namely the possibility for its members to pay\ndirectly at the project level.
\nAfter assessing the Bio-based Industries\nConsortiums proposal, the Commission intends to adjust\nCouncil Regulation (EU) No 560/2014 in order to remedy the\ndifficulties faced by the consortium in paying its financial\ncontribution under the current arrangements. The proposed change\nwould not affect the original objectives.
\nCONTENT: the Commission proposes to amend the Statutes\nof the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking by introducing a\nnew method of payment of the financial contribution in addition\nto the existing method of payment.
\nConcretely, the\nproposal:
\nThis solution is similar to that agreed for the\nIMI2 Joint Undertaking (Innovative Medicines Initiative), in which members\nother than the Union may make financial contributions either at the\nprogramme or project level.
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy\nadopted, following the consultation procedure, the report by\nMiroslav POCKET (S&D, CZ) on the proposal for a Council\nregulation amending the Council Regulation (EU) No 560/2014 of 6\nMay 2014 establishing the Bio-based Industries Joint\nUndertaking.
\nThe committee called on Parliament to approve the\nCommission proposal subject to the following amendments:
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 572 votes to 54,\nwith 36 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nCouncil regulation amending the Council Regulation (EU) No 560/2014\nof 6 May 2014 establishing the Bio-based Industries Joint\nUndertaking.
\nParliament approved the Commission proposal subject to\nthe following amendments to stipulate the following issues in the\nrecitals:
