Work in Parliament Innovation Package - EPP Hearing H2020 and Mediterraneo

The negotiations between the Parliament, Council and Commission on the "Innovation Package" are concluded. This package includes 6 Public-Private Partnerships and 4 Public- Public (between the EU and several Member States).

These initiatives are unique instruments to leverage private investment in research and innovation and greater collaboration between Member States in establishing joint research programs. The negotiation process was very constrictive and the results of this agreement were very positive for the future beneficiaries of projects financed by these initiatives. The European Parliament mainly fought for great transparency of these initiatives, a wider participation, the simplification of administrative processes and synergies with the Structural Funds.
