Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 a (new) 20 a. Notes that, with regard to the ECA's findings of the precarious staffing situation in the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking in 2021, increased efforts are needed in the human resources field in general and in the involvement of the Commission's resource planning in order to improve the human resources planning and specifically the recruitment process, to avoid cases of long-term vacancies, high staff turnover, high numbers of external staff, dependence on the expertise of a few staff, excessive workloads and resulting staff absences and inefficiencies, and instead offer attractive and socially fair employment conditions that support the achievement of the Joint Undertaking’s objectives.
Amendment 15 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 b (new) 20 b. Notes from the Annual Activity Report 2021 that out of a total number of 45 experts participating in evaluations and project reviews, 47% were female and 53% were male experts; welcomes these figures and encourages the Joint Undertaking to further improve the gender balance.
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Notes that the Joint Undertaking is working with DG BUDG to clarify the situation on the Joint Undertaking’s staff pension contributions, in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors made in late 2021; calls on the Joint Undertaking not to wait for the final calculation of outstanding contributions, but to consider this obligation when planning its future budget e.g. through a corresponding accrual for pension contributions;
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Notes that the Joint Undertaking is working with DG BUDG to clarify the situation on the Joint Undertaking’s staff pension contributions, in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors made in late 2021 and calls for the Commission to take steps to avoid similar issues in the future ;
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 23 23.
Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 24 24.
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3 a. Acknowledges that Horizon Europe envisages ambitious goals for the Joint Undertaking, that can only be achieved if effective solutions that address the weaknesses in the internal control systems and prepare for the future challenges arising from increased responsibilities, e.g. in the area of human resources management and planning, are designed and implemented; points out, in this context, that particularly complicated and burdensome calculations and reporting requirements represent a significant risk of error and calls therefore, to explore the possibilities of simplifications wherever possible and compatible with the existing legal framework;
Amendment 20 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 25 25. Notes, moreover, that the exaFOAM project will concentrate on topic EuroHPC-03-2019 on ‘Industrial software codes for extreme scale computing’.2 The EuroHPC JU launched a call covering the call “Training and Education on High Performance Computing” for the design and delivery of a European Master programme in HPC, the call was launched early in the year and by October the Joint Undertaking was able to announce that the project would go ahead as lead by the University of Luxembourg and in collaboration with 7 other European universities
Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 27.
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 a (new) 28 a. Welcomes that in 2022 all Joint Undertakings have started implementing actions for error rate reductions in line with the action proposed by the Court including exploring the options of simplified forms of costs such as unit costs, lump sums and flat rates, targeting more “error-prone” types of beneficiaries such as SMEs and new beneficiaries;
Amendment 23 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 29 29.
Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 30.
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 31.
Amendment 3 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4 a. Notes that there is no harmonised definition of "administrative costs" among the Joint Undertakings, which is a basis for calculating the financial contributions of its members and a precondition for the purpose of comparable figures; calls with this in mind for common guidelines for all Joint Undertakings to take a harmonised approach for the classification of certain administrative cost expenditure categories, such as expenditure for consultations, studies, analysis, evaluations, and technical assistance;
Amendment 4 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6.
Amendment 5 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Notes that, at the end of 2021, the Joint Undertaking had already committed EUR 180 million for the 50 % co-financing of Horizon 2020 research and innovation grants, which, is the minimum target in the Joint Undertaking’s founding Regulation and that the Participating States finance the remaining 50 % of the total project costs, and private members only contribute on top of the maximum eligible costs of the grant actions;
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Notes that, in July 2021, the Council adopted the new European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC) founding Regulation, according to which the Joint Undertaking will have to implement projects amounting to EUR 7 billion, of which EUR 3.1 billion should be leveraged from the Participating States and EUR 900 million from private members in form of cash and in-kind contributions;
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12.
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12. Notes with concern that the Joint Undertaking still lacks reliable procedures for certifying and validating in-kind contributions, reported by its private members and Participating States and that it is the only Joint Undertaking that does not have a strategic implementation plan for the achievement of other members’ contributions; emphasises therefore that the Joint Undertaking should implement reliable procedures for the certification and validation of in-kind contributions, as well as a strategic implementation plan (road map) with realistic milestones and annual contribution targets for both Participating States and private members at programme level; notes furthermore the Joint Undertaking’s acknowledgement of the action proposed by the Court and its committment to address this matter in a timely manner.
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Notes that under the 2021-2027 MFF, the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes remain the main financial resource for Joint Undertakings, with a total budget of EUR 15.1 billion for co-financing the Joint Undertakings research and innovation activities
