By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the opening of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to foster the competitiveness of enterprises and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to promote innovation and to accelerate the development of a competitive, innovative, environment-friendly and inclusive information society, including in the field of e-commerce and eco-innovation.

Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative activities; co-investment in risk capital funds that provide equity also for companies investing in eco-innovation; fostering eco-innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing innovative business services, facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-innovation in fields such as environmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and services, taking into account their whole life cycle.

The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

 

networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

 

market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,

 

policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

 

information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

 

support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation framework programme.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the opening of additional appropriations, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item, in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

The establishment plan of the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation is set out in Part C ‘Staff’ of the general statement of revenue (Volume 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to international road haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo II’.

The programme Marco Polo II proposes five kinds of measures to achieve its objectives:

 

modal transfer actions, to transfer, in the short term, an important share of road traffic to other less saturated transport modes,

 

catalyst actions, that enable structural market barriers to be overcome through the implementation of new innovative services,

 

common learning actions, with a view to improving cooperation, share of know-how and knowledge development in the logistics industry,

 

actions to provide high-quality logistic services based on short sea shipping, that will be comparable to motorways and therefore called ‘motorways of the sea’,

 

traffic avoidance actions, that will involve an active role for manufacturing industry and logistics systems within one coherent strategy to develop sustainable operations.

The transport infrastructure networks of the newest Member States are not at the moment adequate to serve the increased post-enlargement trade flows; in such cases intermodal transport solutions constitute the best response and thus there is huge scope for Marco Polo II as a continuation and strengthening of the successful Marco Polo I programme.

The support for commercial action in the market for freight transport services is different from the support given through research and development programmes and the trans-European network programme. Marco Polo II will foster modal shift projects in all segments of the freight market, not only in combined transport.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1692/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006, establishing the second Marco Polo programme for the granting of Community financial assistance to improve the environmental performance of the freight transport system (Marco Polo II) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1382/2003 (OJ L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 1).

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential candidate countries stay on course to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council.

This will involve:

 

full accession negotiations with Turkey and Croatia and further steps towards the opening of accession negotiations with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia which was granted candidate status by the December 2005 European Council,

 

the intensification of the Stabilisation and Association Process in the western Balkans, following the outcome of the talks on the status of Kosovo and the referendum in Montenegro; implementation of association agreements with all the countries in the region,

 

the launch of the single Instrument for Pre-Accession in all candidate and potential candidate countries in support of their reforms and preparations for future membership,

 

the support to the reunification of Cyprus, with the implementation of the aid package to the Turkish Cypriot community,

 

the promotion of a dialogue between civil societies in member states and candidate and potential candidate countries as an integral part of the pre-accession processes,

 

an effective information and communication policy on enlargement both in candidate and potential candidate countries and in Member States,

 

the programming of the transition facilities for Romania and Bulgaria.

The Commission will also continue to phase out the pre-accession programmes and transition facilities in all new Member States.
