1 PRIMA Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Art.185 TFEU Carolina Rodriguez Rodriguez European Commission - DG RTD iwater Barcelona, 15 November 2016
2 Background PARTNERSHIP FOR RESEARCH AND INNOVATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA (PRIMA) A joint programme on sustainable food systems and water resources for the development of inclusive, sustainable and healthy Euro-Mediterranean societies 2015: Commissioner Moedas asks the EC services to initiate the procedure for an Art. 185 and launch of the impact assessment process 23 December 2014: submission of the Art. 185 PRIMA proposal by MS and third countries 5 December 2014: In its conclusions, the Competitiveness Council "invites the Commission [ ] to assess as soon as possible whether a participation of the Union in the PRIMA Joint Programme on the basis of Article 185 TFEU is justified by the scope of the objectives pursued and the scale of the resources required" Up to 2014: Cypriot Presidency: commitment to establish a long-term structured partnership in R&I in the Mediterranean area (July 2013) Euro-Mediterranean conference on Research and Innovation (Barcelona 2012) Research and Innovation 2
3 Proposal EU MS and MPC Launched as an immediate follow-up to the 2012 Barcelona Euro-Mediterranean Conference by a group of EU Member States and Mediterranean Partnering Countries (MPCs), to develop innovative solutions and promote their adoption for improving the efficiency and sustainability of food productions and water provision to support an inclusive well-being and socioeconomic development in the Mediterranean Area, within the framework of a reinforced Euro-Mediterranean co-operation
4 Proposal EU MS and MPC Article 185 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) enables the EU to make provision for its participation in research and development programmes undertaken by several Member States, including participation in the structures created for the execution of those programmes. Article 185 initiatives may only be proposed by the Commission in cases where: there is a need for a dedicated implementation structure (DIS) there is a high level of commitment of Participating States to integration at scientific, management and financial levels.
5 Pillars of the PRIMA Joint Programme proposal The PRIMA initiative identified 8 operational objectives clustered in three main thematic pillars.
6 Pillar 1 Sustainable management of water for arid and semi-arid Med areas To test and stimulate adoption of context-tailored water-saving solutions, in particular in agriculture To improve land and water sustainability in arid and semi-arid watersheds To elaborate and stimulate adoption of new policies and protocols for the governance of water management systems Pillar 2 Sustainable farming systems under Med environmental constraints To develop smart and sustainable farming systems to maintain natural resources and to increase production efficiency To design and promote the adoption of novel approaches to reduce the impact of pests and pathogens in farming Pillar 3 Mediterranean food value chain for regional and local development To innovate in the Mediterranean food products based on Mediterranean diet heritage and to enhance the links between nutrition and health To find context-adapted solutions to increase food and water chain efficiency, and reduce losses and wastes To conceive and implement innovative, quality oriented models in agro-business as potential sources of new jobs and economic growth

8 Impacts of PRIMA Joint Programme proposal - It will have large-scale positive environmental impacts. - It will provide greater opportunities for SMEs and other companies in the food and water sectors in the Mediterranean area. - It will improve nutrition and health for the people of the Mediterranean area.
9 Impacts of PRIMA Joint Programme proposal - It will achieve the rapid integration of national research & innovation programmes and activities in the Mediterranean area. - It will ensure the efficient and effective delivery and adoption of common, innovative and integrated solutions for the sustainable management of water provision and food systems. - It will produce sizeable positive economic impacts in the Mediterranean area - It will contribute to greater political stability in the area and reduced internal and external migration
10 Impact assessment PRIMA Size and Scale 19 Countries involved 11 Member States 3 H2020 Associated Third Countries 5 H2020 non-associated Third Countries 40% of EU population 23% of EU GDP 200 million EUR of in-cash commitment 10-year commitment 2018 starting in Participating countries committing budget PRIMA observers Research and Innovation 10
11 Impact Assessment Rationale PROBLEM DEFINITION: UNSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF WATER PROVISION AND FOOD SYSTEMS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA Adverse effects of climate change Increasing resource demand Clean water and affordable food Social and economic instability and migration lack of common innovative solutions adapted to the realities of the region not commensurate and scattered level of research and innovation investment in the Mediterranean to face the size of the regional challenge too fragmented R&I and collaboration efforts between EU Member States and Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries uneven R&I resources: R&D Intensity average: EU Med 1.29/ Non-EU Med 0.54 (ex. Israel) limited coordination, and integration of national R&I programmes: more than 17 bilateral programmes and 11 transnational ones lack of long-term strategic R&I agenda and multi-stakeholder governance: less than 10% of R&D Med activities are carried out by private actors Research and Innovation 11
12 Impact Assessment Objectives STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES IMPACTS to develop the common innovative solutions in the field of water provision and food systems that the region urgently needs formulation of a stable, long-term, common strategic R&I agenda in the field of water provision and food systems orientation of national R&I programmes towards the implementation of the strategic R&I agenda structural involvement of all relevant R&I actors in the implementation of the strategic R&I agenda strengthening of R&I funding and implementation capabilities of all actors involved - solving the higher-level problems in the field of nutrition, health and social wellbeing, - helping address mass migration challenges - leveraging to the maximum R&I policies Research and Innovation 12
13 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and PRIMA operational objectives
14 Impact Assessment Preferred option: Article 185 TFEU Stakeholder consultation activities: Article 185 TFEU is considered to be the best policy option (69.3% of respondents favour creating a permanent dedicated structure) PRIMA Expert Group (from November 2015 to June 2016): Article 185 TFEU is considered to be the best policy option From the evidence gathered, Article 185 TFEU is considered to be the best policy option Alignment of R&I policies and integration of programmes by defining and committing to a joint research programme Ensures high-level political commitment at country level Ensures a long-term structuring effect Defines and implements a common strategic R&I agenda Ensures long-term stability for public and private investments (i.e. 10 years), ensuring high leverage effect on national public funding compared to other instruments Enables multiple transnational, cross-sectorial calls Enables the implementation of all types of R&I actions Enables a multi-stakeholder approach Ensures the participation of third countries on an equal footing Research and Innovation 14
