12.12. Programa de execução do Horizonte Europa (A8-0410/2018 - Christian Ehler) (votação)

- Dopo la votazione:

  Christian Ehler, Rapporteur. – Mr President, I will keep it short. This is a good day for Europe, albeit against a very problematic background. We had the ambition of reaching 3% of GDP for research and innovation for 2020 and we failed. Now, for the first time, we had an ambitious proposal by the Commission; we had an ambitious and thoughtful Parliament; we were super-fast and we are super-united; and we are now asking the Council, in the name of researchers, in the name of European citizens, to get a deal before the European elections, so as to keep up with the competition and keep up the well-being of European citizens.

This is a good programme and this is a united Parliament. As rapporteur, I would like, in accordance with Rule 59, to propose that the matter be referred back to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy for interinstitutional negotiations.

(Il Parlamento approva la richiesta di rinvio in commissione competente per l'avvio di negoziati interistituzionali)
