Details
The European Parliament adopted by 624 votes to 3, with 33 abstentions, following the consultation procedure, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council regulation establishing the Joint Undertakings under Horizon Europe.
The aim of the proposed regulation is to set up nine EU joint undertakings (JUs) for the implementation of institutionalised European partnerships. It determines their objectives and tasks, membership, organisation and other operating rules, including on transparency and accountability.
Objectives
Members stated that the joint undertakings should deliver, inter alia , on the following general objectives:
- strengthen and integrate the scientific, technological and innovation capacities of the EU, the Member States and the regions to foster the creation and dissemination of new high-quality knowledge, in particular to address global societal challenges, to ensure and improve EU competitiveness and European added value, resilience and sustainability
- ensuring global leadership, focusing on sustainability and resilience of EU value chains and safeguarding the EU's strategic autonomy, while preserving an open economy;
- develop the uptake of innovative solutions throughout the Union addressing climate, environmental, health, digital and other global societal challenges contributing to Union strategic priorities, accelerating the economic growth of the Union and fostering the innovation ecosystem, while reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals;
- accelerate the green and digital transition and contribute to a zero-pollution and toxic-free environment while preserving and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity;
- enhance the research and innovation capabilities and performance of existing and new European ecosystems and value chains, including in SME and start-ups;
- reduce the specific skills gap across the Union by raising awareness and assisting in the building of new knowledge and human capital with reference to their domains of research;
- deliver environmental, energy and resource saving, sustainable, societal and productivity, circularity improvements in new products, technologies, applications and services;
- contribute to bridging the gender gap in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields in Europe as well as to mainstream gender in research outcomes developed by European partnerships.
Specific measures
Parliament highlighted the following specific measures:
- reinforcing the scope and budget for Clean Aviation as clean and sustainable aviation is a vital element for Europe’s success;
- reinforcing the scope and budget for Global Health to develop new or improved health technologies;
- contributing to the reduction of the connectivity gap and focusing on emerging technologies and supporting the construction of the EU’s ecosystem for developing 5G and 6G technologies, application and services;
- accelerating the development and improvement of advanced clean hydrogen applications ready for market, across energy, aviation, maritime and heavy-duty transport, building and industrial end-uses.
Governance
The governance of the JUs should be based on rules that enhance efficiency and ensure maximum administrative simplification; the evaluation process should be fully transparent, kept simple while ensuring synchronization of reporting and monitoring procedures. Simplification and workability should be the driving principles for management of all financial contributions from Participating States, which should entrust the JU with the evaluation of proposals, while keeping a right of veto on all issues concerning the use of its own national financial contributions.
Financing and synergies
The joint undertakings should be financed by the Union programmes under the 2021-2027 MFF and, where applicable, by the Next Generation EU. The ratio of administrative costs to the total budget of each JU should be of a comparable value across the JUs and should not exceed 5% of their budget. Members other than Union should agree among themselves on the fair distribution of their part of the administrative expenses of their joint undertakings.
In carrying out their research activities, the joint undertakings should seek synergies with European Structural and Investment Funds, other Horizon Europe initiatives as well as all research, innovation and competitiveness-related Union programmes. In addition to that, the joint undertakings should operate in close collaboration with the Commission’s Joint Research Centre in their respective scientific domains.
The Commission is called on to develop clear, simple and concrete guidelines on the implementation of the different types of synergies by the joint undertakings, such as transfer of resources, alternative funding, cumulative funding and integrated funding.

PURPOSE: to set up nine Joint Undertakings, as EU bodies, under Horizon Europe, the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (the Single Basic Act).
PROPOSED ACT: Council Regulation.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the Council adopts the act after consulting the European Parliament but without being obliged to follow its opinion.
BACKGROUND: Horizon Europe, the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2021-2027), aims to increase the EU’s research and innovation impact by combining European partnership co-investment with additional private and public sector funds in areas where the scope and scale of the research and innovation resources can help achieve the EU's Horizon Europe priorities.
Under Article 8(1)(c) of the Horizon Europe Regulation, institutionalised partnerships based on Articles 185 and 187 TFEU shall be implemented under several conditions.
Under these legal provisions, the Commission’s proposal covers nine institutionalised European partnerships establishing individual joint undertakings for their implementation, which include industry, research organisations, civil society, and others. The new partnerships should also contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal and strengthen the European Research Area.
CONTENT: the Commission proposes that the following joint undertakings should be established as EU bodies for a period ending on 31 December 2031:
- the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking;
- the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking;
- the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking;
- the Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking;
- the Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking;
- the Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking;
- the Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking;
- the Single European Sky ATM Research 3 Joint Undertaking;
- the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking.
The proposed regulation also contains detailed provisions on the objectives, functioning, funding and structure of the joint undertakings.
Seat : it is proposed that the seat of the joint undertakings be in Brussels, Belgium.
The proposed regulation lays down the following:
- common objectives and principles for joint undertakings;
- operational objectives and tasks;
- a common process for selecting new members, thereby ensuring transparency and openness across the initiative, in line with the Horizon Europe Regulation;
- a framework to ensure partners’ contributions throughout the initiative’s lifetime and that the costs are shared between the EU and the partners other than the Union, which is a core condition of a partnership approach;
- phasing out provisions requiring the governing board to set out a realistic plan to continue the initiative outside the scope of an institutionalised partnership, by the end of 2022, in time to feed into the interim evaluation of Horizon Europe;
- governance provisions to harmonise the functioning of the different bodies across the joint undertakings;
- coherence and synergy measures.
Budgetary implications
The maximum EU financial contribution to the joint undertakings should be EUR 9 600 million. The administrative costs of the joint undertakings should not exceed EUR 501.174 million for the duration of the joint undertakings. These costs should be covered through financial contributions by the EU and the members other than the Union.

Recital 18 (18) In line with the ambitions set out in the Horizon Europe Regulation, one of the preconditions of setting up institutionalised partnerships is ensuring partner’s contributions throughout the lifetime of the initiatives. In this context, private partners should deliver a significant part of their contributions in the form of in-kind contributions to operational costs of the joint undertaking. Joint undertakings should be able to seek measures to facilitate these contributions through their work programmes, notably by reducing funding rates. These measures should be based on the specific needs of a joint undertaking and the underlying activities. In justified cases, it should be possible to introduce additional conditions that require the participation of a member of the joint undertaking or their constituent or affiliated entities, targeting activities where the industrial partners of the joint undertaking can play a key role, such as large-scale demonstrations and flagship projects

Recital 19 (19) In line with the principle of fair sharing of contributions among the members of joint undertakings, financial contributions to the administrative costs of the joint undertakings should be divided equally between the Union and the members other than the Union. Members other than Union should agree among themselves on the fair distribution of administrative expenses of their respective joint undertakings. Administrative expenses for the joint undertakings should not exceed 5% of their budget. Deviations from that principle should only be considered in exceptional and duly justified cases such as where the size or the membership structure of a member of the joint undertaking other than the Union would result in contributions per constituent or affiliated entity, in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), of such a high level that they would seriously jeopardise the incentive to become or remain a constituent or affiliated entity of the member of the joint undertaking. In such cases, the minimum percentage of annual financial contribution to the administrative costs of the joint undertaking from members other than the Union should be 20% of the total annual administrative costs and the contributions from SMEs should be significantly lower than those from larger constituent or affiliated entities.

Recital 23 (23) Further simplification is a cornerstone of the Horizon Europe Framework Programme. In that context, there should be a simplified reporting mechanism for partners, who are no longer required to report on non-eligible costs. In- kind contributions to operational activities should be accounted solely on the basis of eligible costs. That allows for the automated calculation of in-kind contributions to operational activities via the Horizon Europe IT tools, lowers the administrative burden for partners and makes the reporting mechanism for contributions more effective. In-kind contributions to operational activities should be closely monitored by the joint undertakings and regular reports that should be made publicly in a timely manner on the website of the respective joint undertaking should be prepared by the executive director of the governing board based on regular assessments by independent external experts in order to establish whether the progress towards reaching the in-kind contributions targets is satisfactory enough. The governing board should assess both the efforts made and the results achieved by the members contributing to operational activities, as well as other factors, such as the level of participation of SMEs and attractiveness of the initiative to newcomers. When necessary, it should take appropriate remedial and corrective measures taking into account the principles of openness and transparency.

A strong, resource efficient and competitive bio-based innovation ecosystem can decrease dependency on and accelerate the substitution of non-renewable fossil raw materials and mineral resources. It can develop renewable bio-based products, materials, processes and nutrients, including bioenergy, from waste and biomass through sustainability and circularity-driven innovation. Such ecosystem can also create value from local feedstock – including waste, residues and side-streams – to deliver jobs, economic growth and development throughout the Union not only in urban areas but also in rural and coastal territories where biomass is produced and that are often peripheral regions that rarely benefit from industrial development. _________________ 13
Amendment 268 #
Recital 40 (40) The Bio-Based Industry Joint Undertaking established under Horizon 2020 has focused on sustainable resource use, especially in resource-intensive and high-impact sectors, such as agriculture, textiles manufacturing and construction, in particular also aiming at local operators, manufacturers, plants and factories. Its interim evaluation published in October 2017 included a strong set of 34 recommendations that are reflected in the design of the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking established by this Regulation. The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking is not a direct continuation of the Bio-Based Industry Joint Undertaking but rather a programme that builds on the achievements of the predecessor and addresses its shortcomings. In line with the recommendations, the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking should cover the entire bio-based value chain and involve a wider range of stakeholders including the primary sector (across technologies, agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry)
Amendment 269 #
Recital 41 (41) The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking should establish Deployment Groups that should serve as advisory bodies and should actively participate in the strategic discussions that are setting the agenda for the partnership. It is crucial to include those advisory bodies in the governance structure to ensure wider participation, including from the non- conventional agriculture sector, and non- profit sector civil society organisations, and higher private investment in the circular bio-based sector. The Deployment Groups should in particular provide support to the strategic Governing Board meetings where industrial leaders, scientists and the stakeholders’ representatives together with high-level Commission representatives join the permanent Governing Board to discuss and set the strategic direction and ensure the environmental and social sustainability of the partnership.
Amendment 270 #
Recital 42 (42) The main objective of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking should be to contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of aviation by accelerating the development of climate neutral aviation technologies for their earliest possible deployment, therefore significantly contributing to the ambitious environment impact mitigation goals of the European Green Deal, that is to say a 55% emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, and climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest and by tackling global societal challenges, including the Sustainable Development Goals and commitments under Paris Agreement. This objective can only be achieved through accelerating and optimising the research and innovation processes in aeronautics and by improving the global competitiveness of the Union aviation industry. The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking should also ensure that cleaner aviation remains safe, secure and efficient for the transportation of passengers and goods by air.

Amendment 273 #
Recital 43 (43) The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking builds on the experience gained from the Clean Sky and Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertakings. The new partnership should be more ambitious by focusing on developing breakthrough demonstrators. In line with the findings of the interim evaluation of the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking, a new initiative should ensure that every demonstrator has a 'business case' basis in order for the zero-emission and silent technologies developed to really serve the "earliest possible deployment" which is a key priority. Therefore, the new initiative should focus on increasing the visibility of its individual exploitation objectives and strengthening the monitoring, management and reporting capabilities of the joint undertaking to reflect the complexity of the research and innovation effort required for the partnership to reach its objectives.
Amendment 274 #
Recital 44 (44) The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking should build on a diverse membership base, bringing together a broad spectrum of stakeholders and ideas, including scientific experts and relevant civil society organisations in the fields of environment and climate. In view of identifying the most promising approaches and entities capable of pursuing them, the Commission launched a call for expression of ideas and potential members19 . The Governing Board should be allowed to select associated members based on the results of that call in order to provide for a swift expansion of the group of members. _________________ 19https://ec.europa.eu/info/news/new-call- ideas-clean-aviation-partnerships-2020- aug-26_en

Recital 44 a (new) (44 a) Clean and sustainable aviation, which is facing significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been recognised as avital element for Union’s success in a highly competitive world. A share of the 5.4 billion Euros that were allocated, under the inter-institutional agreement on the MFF, to Horizon Europe from Next Generation EU, should be allocated to the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking could expand the aeronautics research support base in different ways. It could help import new knowledge, solutions and innovation potential by finding ideas in other sciences and sectors. It could also enable students to contribute in an industrial environment, particularly in SMEs. Successful collaboration between joint undertakings and academic institutions may lead to sponsored research contracts, funded collaborations, student internship programs, shared specialized facilities, industry affiliates programs, grants, awards, prizes that energize the academic community.
Amendment 277 #
Recital 45 (45) In order to maximise and accelerate the impact of the research and innovation activities undertaken by the Clean Aviation and Single European Sky ATM Research 3 Joint Undertakings on effective emission reduction and the digitalisation of the aviation industry, they should seek close collaboration with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in the work of the partnership, ensuring an early exchange of knowledge on new zero- emission technologies developed. That will be crucial to accelerate market uptake, by facilitating the certification process of resulting products and services as required by Regulation (EU) 2018/118920 . _________________ 20 OJ L 212, 22.8.2018, p. 1.

Recital 46 (46) In order to maximise synergies between programmes at Union, national and regional level, the members of the States’ Representatives Group of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking should explore possibilities to provide financial support at national level to excellent proposals that were not selected for funding by the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking due to oversubscription. It is of particular importance for the Member States and the regions to maximise the alignment of their smart specialisation strategies and operational programmes with Clean Aviation work programmes to enable the 5% transfer mechanism from European structural and investment funds to the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking or other forms of implementation of the synergies such as complementary projects, cumulative funding or synergy labels. The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking should develop synergies and additional technical activities, in particular through complementarities with the Clean Hydrogen and Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertakings, the European Defence Fund, Connecting Europe Facility, Digital Europe Programme and relevant industrial alliances.
