Policy Department A: Economic and Scientific Policy ____________________________________________________________________________________________ This roadmap tries to address the following weaknesses of the Framework Programmes: • Excessive bureaucratic burden • Lack of participation by the private sector • Lack of coordination and follow of research undertaken in the EU The SET-Plan presents an ambitious integrated approach to research and development improving the focus and the transformation of results into actual demonstration technologies and later into commercial products. The SET-Plan requires a generous level of financing, and the Commission estimates that the resources needed for the SET-Plan should be around €50 billion over the next 10 years. The sources of this founding still need to be decided, but are a mix of EU, national, public and private sources. Nevertheless, the SET-Plan is only presenting a set of ambitions with a large list of unresolved issues and inherent weaknesses. The first incognito is how the level of financing required will be achieved. The SET-Plan requires substantial resources at European level at a junction where member states are reluctant to increase the financing of the European budget. The expectation that the private sector will finance the brunt of the increase is questionable unless incentives are really strong. Other weaknesses are based on the existing framework programme evaluations, which identify important inefficiencies in the regulations and bureaucratic structures which govern the financial mechanisms and the functioning of the European institutions. The financial regulations of the EU treat research funding in the same fashion as normal procurement policy which is unfit for the risk level required for the research into new technologies. Generally, the financial procedures are built on risk averseness and rigid procedures. There is a need to find new avenues using methods which are from the one side much more results driven, but from the other side more flexible, mirroring to a certain extent the mechanisms of venture capital systems. From the side of industry, one of the major barriers for their participation in projects are the rules on patents and licensing. One major complaint is the use of a single licence for the final product which makes components of the final products by different producers interdependent. One of the major drawbacks for any company is seeing their contribution lost or delayed because of another partner’s problems affecting the completion of the project. Another complaint from the research and the industry side is the politisation and bureaucratic interference by the European Commission on the objectives and processes of the European Technology Platforms, which may well be repeated in the European Industrial Initiatives. There is a need to review the architecture taking into consideration the needs of the stakeholders, as these are the ones which ultimately will have to deliver, rather than trying to ensure that the structure covers the wishes and bureaucratic structures of the European Commission. The Commission’s responses to the evaluatios have downplayed the importance of this last criticism, but with resources multiplying and with expectations increasing that the private sector will also increase its expenditure on R&D, unresolved governance and regulatory issues can strongly damage the whole process. Finally, there is the thorny issue of financing the whole process. Research and Development and the move towards a low carbon economy are priorities of major importance for the EU strategically, be it for economic, environmental or security reasons.
