Particular attention needs to be paid to ensuring that universities and other higher education institutions are adequately funded. This will ensure that there is a level playing field for institutions aspiring to attain the highest European standard. At the same time, support will be maintained for research and education centres that are already recognised as centres of excellence.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – introductory part 3. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Amendment 919 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 2 The European Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions have made remarkable progress to promote mobility, both transnational and intersectoral, and to open research careers at European and international levels, with excellent employment and working conditions following the European Researchers Charter and Code. There is no equivalent in Member States as far as their scale and scope, funding, international character, generation and transfer of knowledge are concerned. They have strengthened the resources of those institutions able to attract researchers internationally and thereby encouraged the spread of centres of excellence around the Union. They have served as a role model with a pronounced structuring effect by spreading their best practices at national level. The bottom-up approach taken by Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions has also allowed a large majority of those institutions to train and upgrade the skills of a new generation of researchers able to tackle societal challenges.
Amendment 920 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 3 Further development of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will make a significant contribution to development of the European Research Area. With their Europe-wide competitive funding structure, Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will encourage new, creative and innovative types of training such as industrial doctorates, involving education, research and innovation players who will have to compete globally for a reputation of excellence. By providing Union funding for the best research and training programmes following the Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training in Europe, they will also promote wider dissemination and take-up, moving towards more structured doctoral training.
Amendment 922 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 4 Marie Skłodowska-Curie grants will also be extended to the temporary mobility of experienced researchers and engineers from public institutions to the private sector or vice versa, thereby encouraging and supporting universities, research centres and businesses to cooperate with one another on a European and international scale. With the aid of their well-established, transparent and fair evaluation system, Marie Skłodowska- Curie actions will identify excellent talents in research and innovation in an international competition which gives prestige and therefore motivation for researchers to advance their career in Europe.
Amendment 923 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 5 The societal challenges to be addressed by highly skilled researchers and innovation staff are not just Europe's problem. These are international challenges of colossal complexity and magnitude. The best researchers in Europe and the world need to work together across countries, sectors and disciplines. Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will play a key role in this respect by supporting staff exchanges that will foster collaborative thinking via the international and intersectoral knowledge- sharing that is so crucial for open innovation.
Amendment 925 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 6 Extension of the co-funding mechanism of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will be crucial to expand Europe's pool of talents. The numerical and structural impact of Union action will be increased by leveraging regional, national, international and private funding to create new programmes and to open existing ones to international and intersectoral training, mobility and career development. Such a mechanism will forge stronger links between research and education efforts at national and Union levels.
Amendment 927 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 7 All the activities under this challenge will contribute to creating a whole new mindset in Europe that is crucial for creativity and innovation. Marie Skłodowska-Curie funding measures will strengthen pooling of resources in Europe and thereby lead to improvements in coordination and governance of researchers' training, mobility and career development. They will contribute to the policy goals outlined in the Innovation Union, Youth on the Move and the Agenda for New Skills and Jobs and will be vital to turn the European Research Area into reality.
Amendment 939 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.3 – point d – paragraph 1 The goal is, by leveraging additional funds, to increase the numerical and structural impact of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and to foster excellence at national level in researchers' training, mobility and career development.

While the KICs have a large degree of autonomy in defining their own strategies and activities, there are a number of innovative features common to all KICs.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 5 – point 3 – point a – paragraph 1 The EIT shall aim to unleash the innovative potential of people and capitalise on their ideas, irrespective of their place in the innovation chain. Thereby, the EIT will also help to address the ‘European paradox’ that excellent existing research is far from being harnessed to the full. In doing so, the EIT shall help to bring ideas to the market. The EIT must ensure open access to all high quality European research communities. Chiefly via its KICs and its focus on fostering entrepreneurial mindsets, it will create new business opportunities in the form of both start-ups and spin-offs but also within existing industry.

There is a large consensus among stakeholders that the accompanying measures introduced by Decision N° 1622/2006/EC have been very useful for the cities. These measures should be further developed, in particular through more frequent monitoring meetings and visits to the cities by panel members, and through an even stronger exchange of experience between past, present and future Capitals, as well as candidate cities, especially by using the already established formal and informal networks of European Capitals of Culture, particularly by making use of existing European Capitals of Culture networks and creating a new financing line for those networks.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 a (new) (47a) Whereas the pending financial crisis contributed immensely to the fragmentation of European financial markets, it is indispensable to enhance the common integrated financial framework. However, it should be borne in mind that the deepening of integration in the EMU cannot give rise to new, not outlined in the Treaties, convergence criteria, which can create additional barriers to entry for countries under a temporary derogation.
Amendment 396 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 b (new) (47b) Whereas, efforts to secure financial stability within the EU require a diversified approach to distinctive types of risks in different markets and considering that the economies of the Member States, including those in the EMU, remain heterogeneous and that economic cycles are not synchronized, it should be borne in mind that according to the ESRB Recommendation (ESRB/2011/3) and standard no. 138 of Basel III, effective response to the problems of macroeconomic imbalances necessitates the use of discretionary instruments at local level. Moreover, the scope to customize macroprudential instruments is of the utmost significance to the Member States remaining in the EMU, due to their inability to use macroeconomic automatic stabilizers, such as interest rate or exchange rate.
Amendment 409 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – paragraph 1 This Regulation confers on the ECB specific tasks concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions, with a view to promoting the safety and soundness of credit institutions and the stability of the financial system within the EU and each Member State, with due regard for the unity and integrity of the internal market.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 (3) In order to provide for the single supervisory mechanism, Council Regulation (EU) No …/… [127(6) Regulation] confers specific tasks on the ECB concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the Member States whose currency is the euro. Other Member States may enter in a close cooperation with the ECB.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) Bearing in mind that the EBA, in works of which all Member States participate with equal rights, was established with an aim to develop the single rulebook and ensure the coherence of supervisory practices within the EU and given the establishment of the single supervisory mechanism with a leading role of the ECB, the EBA needs to be equipped with adequate instruments, which will enable it to efficiently perform its entrusted tasks concerning the integrity of the single market in the area of financial services.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) The mandate of the EBA to settle disagreements, involving the ECB with regard to cases concerning prudential supervision, can be inferred from the fact that both the establishment of the EBA and the conferment of specific supervisory tasks on the ECB have been introduced through secondary law.

Amendment 144 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8 a) Since the Member States which entered into close cooperation with the SSM are devoid of voting rights in the Governing Council of the ECB, which results in a lack of effective influence on the decision making process within the SSM, a special procedure for settlement of disagreements between the ECB and a competent authority of a Member State which has entered into close cooperation shall be established, which will compensate for the absence of forceful instruments to sway the decision making process taken within the SSM and at the same time, will safeguard the right to protect justified interests, in particular the stability of the local financial market. To that end, the EBA should be equipped with the ultimate authority to settle disagreements between the ECB and the competent authority of a Member State that has entered into close cooperation with the SSM.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The composition of the Management Board should be balanced and proper representation of Member States participating in the SSM, remaining in the close cooperation, and not participating in the SSM should be ensured.
