Action n° 6: To promote, in a staged approach, unprecedented collaborative research and development efforts to bring new antibiotics to patients by: Launching rapidly with EFPIA[12], within the IMI-Joint Undertaking, a programme for research on new antibiotics aimed at improving the efficiency of research and development of new antibiotics through unprecedented open sharing of knowledge. Establishing an overarching framework agreement with the industry, defining objectives, commitments, priorities, principles and modes of action for public-private collaboration in a longer te ...[+++]rm perspective. Mobilising adequate resources, within IMI in particular (and its possible successor), FP7 and in the longer term the forthcoming research and innovation programme 2014-2020 (Horizon 2020), in order to support research and development work, based on criteria and modalities adapted to the specific needs and challenges of antibiotic development. Use the flexibility in the current pharmaceutical legislation to give rapid authorisation to new antibiotics and work with stakeholders and the Member States' authorities towards the establishment of adequate market and pricing conditions for new antibiotics. Ensure conditions for and implement fast track procedures for the marketing authorisation of new antimicrobials.

ACTIONS The Commission will: Key action 9: Leverage more private investment through the strategic use of pre-commercial procurement[36] and public-private partnerships[37], by using structural funds for research and innovation and by maintaining a pace of 20% yearly increase of the ICT RD budget at least for the duration of FP7; Other actions: Reinforce the coordination and pooling of resources with Member States and industry[38], and put greater focus on demand- and user-driven partnerships in EU support to ICT research and innovation; Starting in 2011 propose measures for ...[+++] ‘light and fast’ access to EU research funds in ICT, making them more attractive notably to SMEs and young researchers in view of a wider implementation within the revision of the EU RTD Framework; [39] Ensure sufficient financial support to joint ICT research infrastructures and innovation clusters, develop further eInfrastructures and establish an EU strategy for cloud computing notably for government and science; Work with stakeholders to develop a new generation of web-based applications and services, including for multilingual content and services, by supporting standards and open platforms through EU-funded programmes.

Key elements for the research part of these documents, as well as for the forthcoming operational programs, are well elaborated and ambitious strategies, such as from EU supported actions carried out by Regional Foresight and Innovative Actions, improved cooperation and coordination between public and private research, to look for result oriented research paving the way for innovation, and increasing research relevant investments from abroad.

1. The research and technological development appropriations shall be used to carry out direct action, indirect action under the framework programme for research referred to in Article 166 of the EC Treaty, and the action referred to in Article 165 of that Treaty by participation in programmes and competitive activities conducted by the Joint Research Centre (JRC).

To this end, and in accordance with the objectives of the Commission Communication "Innovation in a knowledge-driven economy", activities will be implemented in a number of specific areas that are complementary and mutually supportive, within themselves and with the actions carried out under the heading "Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area". They will focus on improving the knowledge, understanding and capabilities of the actors involved - research workers, industrialists, investors, public authorities at European ...[+++], national and regional levels, and others - by encouraging more intensive and fruitful interactions between them, and by providing strategic information and services, as well developing new methodologies and tools, to assist them in their particular endeavours. A general principle underlying all these actions is that innovation cannot be separated from research; the actions serve to reinforce the links between research and innovation, from the point of the conception of research activities, right through the period of their realisation.
