Cohesion Policy and Research and Innovation Strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) (A8-0159/2016 - Ramón Luis Valcárcel Siso)
Antanas Guoga (ALDE), in writing. ‒ I voted in favour of the report. RIS3 strategies are a valuable tool to tackle the innovation gap, and boost jobs and growth in Europe. Simplification, as well as coordination of the existing programmes, is also essential in contributing to a good implementation of those strategies in the years to come.
