september 2017 og Det Europæiske Råds

konklusioner56 af 19. oktober 2017 viste, at

der er behov for, at Europa investerer i

digitalisering af vores økonomier og slår

bro over kvalifikationskløften for at

opretholde og forbedre europæisk

konkurrenceevne, vores livskvalitet og

sociale struktur. Det Europæiske Råd

konkluderede, at den digitale omstilling

giver enorme muligheder for innovation,

vækst og beskæftigelse, som vil bidrage til

vores globale konkurrenceevne og fremme

kreativ og kulturel mangfoldighed.

Udnyttelse af disse muligheder kræver, at

nogle af udfordringerne ved den digitale

omstilling tackles i fællesskab, og at

politikker, der er berørt af den digitale

omstilling, tages op til revision.

(6a) I fremtiden vil det europæiske

samfund og den europæiske økonomi i

høj grad være afhængig af en

harmoniseret og ensartet frekvenspolitik,

på 5G-infrastrukturen, hvilket vil

nødvendiggøre en

infrastrukturmålsætning vedrørende

VHC-nettene, som sigter mod at tilbyde

kommunikationsydelser af høj kvalitet og

med en højere hastighed. Dette er en

nødvendig forudsætning for en vellykket

gennemførelse af dette program. I denne

forbindelse bør programmet drage fordel

af den vellykkede gennemførelse af

Connecting Europe-faciliteten og navnlig

Wif4EU-initiativet, som har til formål at

fremme borgernes

forbindelsesmuligheder i Unionens

offentlige rum. Med kombinationen af de

to programmer kan man opnå de bedst

mulige resultater og nå Unionens

målsætning om at levere en stabil og

ensartet højhastighedsnetværksdækning i

hele Unionen.

Begrundelse

Ændringsforslaget har til formål at gøre det muligt at anvende udbud på den mest effektive

måde ved at præcisere bestemmelsen om, hvordan Kommissionen eller EU's

finansieringsorganer selv kan inddrages som udbydere i offentlige udbud, der finansieres af

DEP. I et udbud kan der tildeles kontrakter til flere leverandører eller flere leverandører,

hvilket sikrer mere valuta for pengene og kontinuitet i leveringen og servicen, navnlig i

forbindelse med digitale teknologier.

BEGRUNDELSE

I programmet for et digitalt Europa for perioden 2021-2027, der blev foreslået af

Kommissionen den 6. juni 2018, fastsættes målsætninger for programmet, et budget for

perioden 2021-2027, former for EU-finansiering samt regler for ydelsen heraf.

Ordføreren godkender det foreslåede programs overordnede mål om at understøtte de

europæiske økonomier, industrier og samfunds digitale omstilling. Programmet skal bringe

fordelene herved til europæiske virksomheder og borgere. Det skal styrke Europas kapacitet

inden for væsentlige områder af den digitale teknologi via storstilet udrulning og udbrede

dens formidling og anvendelse på områder af offentlige interesse og i den private sektor. I

lyset af specificiteten af visse mål mener ordføreren dog, at programmet ud over den digitale

omstilling har et overordnet mål om at skabe færdigheder og styrke EU's strategiske

autonomi.

Den aktuelle status for digitaliseringen af EU's økonomi, industri og samfund er ikke

tilstrækkelig til at kunne leve op til den politiske ambition om et digitalt indre marked. Der er

stadig et stort gab, der skal dækkes, gennem omfattende og bedre europæisk investering, for

at kunne opnå det fælles mål og få fuld udnyttelse af EU-merværdien. Ordføreren vil gerne

understrege, at dette forslag er det første paneuropæiske digitale program. Det skal ses som et

stort skridt på vejen mod at styrke og øge Europas førerposition.

Programmet har fem specifikke mål, og forskellen på disse afspejles i deres specifikke

finansieringsrammer. Da en række aktiviteter kan finansieres gennem dette program, kan

gennemførelsen heraf føre til en udvanding af programmets eget primære mål, som er at

opbygge kapaciteter i EU. Ordføreren vil gerne udvise forsigtighed og foreslår derfor, at

arbejdsprogrammerne udarbejdes under Europa-Parlamentets kontrol.

Programmet skal være et reelt værktøj til at styrke EU's uafhængighed, navnlig på områderne

inden for de specifikke mål nr. 1, 2 og 3 (højtydende databehandling, kunstig intelligens og

cybersikkerhed og tillid). EU's strategiske autonomi er afgørende for at sikre konkret

handlefrihed på globalt plan. Dette kan kun opnås gennem bedre samarbejde mellem

medlemsstaterne og virksomheder, der skal være baseret i medlemsstaterne.

Specifikt mål nr. 4 (højtudviklede IT-færdigheder) er afgørende for at understøtte de første tre

måls succes ved at sikre, at den nuværende og fremtidige arbejdsstyrke let kan erhverve

højtudviklede digitale færdigheder ved at give studerende, nyuddannede og nuværende

arbejdstagere midlerne til at opnå og udvikle disse færdigheder, uanset hvor de befinder sig i

EU.

Specifikt mål nr. 5 (udrulning, bedste brug af den digitale kapacitet og interoperabilitet) er

afgørende for at udvide den bedste brug af digitale kapaciteter (navnlig højtydende

databehandling, kunstig intelligens og cybersikkerhed) for hele økonomien, herunder

udrulningen af interoperable løsninger på områder af offentlig interesse samt formidling af

adgang til teknologi og knowhow for alle virksomheder, herunder SMV'er og nyetablerede

virksomheder, og borgere.

PE625.457v02-00 92/305 RR\1170470DA.docx

DA

Ordføreren vil derfor gerne gøre det klart, at de berettigede enheder skal være etableret i EU.

Samarbejde med tredjelande specifikt inden for rammerne af dette program skønnes ikke at

være relevant.

Ordføreren mener ligeledes, at de valgte projekter, som følge af følsomheden af og de

igangværende høringer om det specifikke mål 2 (kunstig intelligens), skal overholde de etiske

krav, sådan som det også er tilfældet for andre FFR-filer såsom Horisont Europa og det

europæiske forsvarsprogram.

De europæiske digitale innovationsknudepunkter er beregnet til at udføre målrettede

programmer for at hjælpe den europæiske industri, herunder SMV'er og nyetablerede

virksomheder, og de offentlige forvaltninger med at give deres ansatte de nødvendige

færdigheder til at få adgang til de nye muligheder, der tilbydes med superdatabehandling,

kunstig intelligens og cybersikkerhed. SMV'er, nyetablerede virksomheder og offentlige

forvaltninger vil også have mulighed for at få adgang til teknologisk ekspertise og

forsøgsfaciliteter, men også for at få rådgivning med henblik på bedre at kunne vurdere deres

virksomhed i forhold til digitale omstillingsprojekter. De er i dag et af de afgørende elementer

i strategien for digitalisering af den europæiske industri. Ordføreren mener, at det er af

afgørende betydning at støtte etableringen af et netværk af europæiske digitale

innovationsknudepunkter. Dette netværk skal udvides til at have den størst mulige geografiske

dækning af hele Europa, men også på nationalt plan, så det kan opfylde de konkrete behov.

Etableringen af mindst et europæisk digitalt innovationsknudepunkt i hver region vil være en

prioritet.

Programmets overordnede budget på 9 1940 000 EUR skal opfattes som det minimumsbeløb,

der er nødvendigt for at sikre programmet for et digitalt Europa succes. Ordføreren mener, at

det foreslåede beløb fra Kommissionen er en smule begrænset, hvis man tager det

overordnede ambitionsniveau i betragtning samt de udfordringer, der ikke kan forudses nu, da

programmet er nyt, og da det ikke er muligt på forhånd at vurdere det enkelte måls præcise

behov.

Endelig er ordføreren klar over Unionens og medlemsstaternes budgetmæssige begrænsninger

og investeringsindsats, og derfor kan gennemførelsen af dette program ikke se igennem fingre

med forpligtelsen til at sikre den mest effektive forvaltning af midlerne. I den forbindelse vil

det derfor være afgørende at skabe synergier mellem programmet og anden EU-finansiering

under næste FFR.

Ordføreren mener, at opblødningen af finansieringsopdelingen vil gøre investeringerne mere

effektive og give mere værdi, navnlig ved at øge digitale investeringer på EU-plan, samtidig

med at national og regional digital investering bedre vil kunne supplere EU-programmerne.

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON CULTURE AND EDUCATION

for the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing

the Digital Europe programme for the period 2021-2027

(COM(2018)0434 – C8-0256/2018 – 2018/0227(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion (*): Bogdan Brunon Wenta

(*) Associated committee – Rule 54 of the Rules of Procedure

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The Rapporteur welcomes the Commission's proposal to establish a Digital Europe

Programme. As part of the next long-term EU budget (MFF 2021-2027), and with a budget of

€9.2 billion, the Programme aims to shape Europe's digital transformation to the benefit of

citizens and businesses.

The Programme focuses on five specific objectives: (1) high-performance computing, (2)

artificial intelligence, (3) cybersecurity, (4) advanced digital skills and (5) deployment, best

use of digital capacity and interoperability.

The main points of the draft opinion are:

(i) Budget (Article 9)

Whilst the Rapporteur considers it essential to ensure the synergies between the Digital

Europe Programme and all other MFF programmes, he would nevertheless like to stress the

necessity to secure the budget allocated to Digital Europe, considering its ambitious

objectives. In that regard, the Rapporteur therefore suggests some specific modifications to

the budget.

In particular, the Rapporteur suggests a slight increase of the budget allocated to the specific

objective 4, “Advanced digital skills”, with a proposal for a budget of around €830 million

(ii) Advanced digital skills (Article 7 and annexes)

Considering the crucial importance of ensuring that both the current and future workforce will

have the opportunity to acquire advanced digital skills through long-and short-term training

courses and on-the-job traineeships, the Rapporteur suggests several amendments in order to

reinforce this specific objective and further clarify the proposed provisions.

(iii) Deployment, best use of digital capacity and interoperability (Article 8 and annexes)

This objective is of particular relevance to cultural and creative sectors. The Rapporteur

suggests several amendments to strengthen support to cultural and creative industries, in

particular in the audiovisual sector, in their ongoing digital transformation and stresses the

need to guarantee them access to the most advanced and performing digital technologies from

AI to advanced computing.

This objective is also relevant to cultural heritage. The Rapporteur would like to emphasise

the important role Digital Europe will play in supporting Europeana.

(iv) Evaluation (Article 25)

The Rapporteur suggests several important changes concerning the evaluation of the

Programme because he considers that the Commission's proposal is not sufficiently clear in

that regard.

(v) Work programmes (Article 23)

The Rapporteur suggests that the work programmes are adopted by the Commission through

delegated acts and not through implemented acts as suggested by the Commission in its

proposal.

Overall the Rapporteur welcomes the effort that the Commission has put into this proposal.

Nevertheless, the Rapporteur considers it to be far too general, vague, and to be lacking in

crucial detail and in legal clarity. In that regard, considering the difficulties in understanding

how the Programme will concretely work as well as how the synergies between programmes

will be implemented, the Rapporteur suggests a series of amendments, focusing particularly

on providing greater legal clarity and certainty to the Programme.

artificial intelligence are now sufficiently

mature to move beyond the research arena

up at Union level. Just as the deployment

of these technologies require a Union

response so does the skills dimension.

Training opportunities in advanced digital

skills need to be scaled up, increased and

made accessible throughout the EU.

Failing this could impede the smooth

deployment of advanced digital

technologies and hamper the overall

competitiveness of Union's economy. The

provide the impetus for a revolution in

how cultural goods are exhibited and

accessed. Promoting the use of 3D

technologies for data collection and the

reconstruction of destroyed cultural goods

and heritage is, in that regard, of

particular importance. Digital Europe can

therefore contribute to the guarantee of

funding for a fair and ethical digitisation,

preservation and online availability of

computing specific objective a joint

undertaking is deemed the most suited

implementation mechanism, in particular to

coordinate national and Union strategies

and investments in high performance

computing infrastructure and research and

Amendment 2


Recital 39 a (new)


(39a) Blockchain and other distributed

ledger technologies can significantly

enhance access to distributed datasets

across the Union, facilitate notarisation of

documents, and enable traceability of

transactions or movement of products in a

way that is secure and compliant with the

EU acquis. They reinforce trust in

applications involving multiple

stakeholders, enhance collaborative

models and enable the defragmentation of

distributed datasets. This will lead to

quality and efficiency gains, reducing

administrative burden, in particular for

regulatory reporting and auditing,

combating and limiting fraud,

incentivising the adoption of best

practices and ethical behaviours.

Moreover strengthening capacities in

Europe to develop and exploit Blockchain

and other distributed ledger technologies

will reinforce digital innovation

ecosystems in Europe and help position

European actors amongst the leaders of a

new internet economy.

Recital 39 b (new)


(39b) At the European Council meeting

on 19 October 2017 Member States

concluded the Union needs a sense of

urgency to address emerging trends:

including blockchain technologies, while

at the same time ensuring a high level of

data protection, digital rights and ethical

standards. The European Parliament

resolution on "Distributed ledger

technologies and blockchains: building

trust with disintermediation"

(2017/2772(RSP)) passed on 16 May2018,

recognises the role of blockchain in

enhancing innovation in Europe and

around the world.

Amendment 4


Recital 39 c (new)


(39c) At the second Digital Day on 10

April, 2018, European counties committed

to working together in the development of

advanced trusted solutions for public

services (e.g. through the development of

a European blockchain infrastructure for

services) and invited the European

Commission to support the development

and deployment of blockchain and

distributed ledger technology through its

digital programmes.

(43) Reflecting the importance of

tackling climate change in line with the

Union’s commitments to implement the

Paris Agreement and the United Nations

Sustainable Development Goals, this

Programme will contribute to mainstream

climate actions and lead to the achievement

of an overall target of 25% of the EU

budget expenditures supporting climate

objectives74 . Relevant actions will be

identified during the Programme's

preparation and implementation, and

reassessed in the context of the relevant

evaluations and review processes.







climate actions and lead to the swift

achievement of an overall target of at least

25% of the EU budget expenditures

supporting climate objectives74 over the

MFF 2021-2027 period and 30% as soon

as possible at the latest by 2027. Relevant

actions will be identified during the

Programme's preparation and

implementation, and reassessed in the

context of the relevant evaluations and

review processes. It is imperative that the

EU delivers on its commitment to be a

frontrunner in implementing the UN

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

although there is a lack of a clear and

visible commitment to that end in the

MFF proposals, therefore, the

mainstreaming of the SDGs should be

present in all EU policies and initiatives

of the next MFF.

infrastructures and establishing a

governance model that can support the

development and deployment of new

digital services enabled by Blockchain

and Distributed Ledger Technologies in

accordance with the Union's legal

framework;

(b) Make those capacities accessible to

businesses, [in particular SMEs], public

administrations or other organisations in

order to support development of

innovative cross-border applications of

those technologies that will benefit

European citizens and the digital

economy [in Europe];

(c) Further develop, deploy,

coordinate and operate at the Union level

a European Blockchain Services

Infrastructure meeting the highest global

standards of cybersecurity, energy

efficiency, privacy-compliance and

accessible on a non-commercial basis to

public and private users to support the

delivery of services of public interest;

(d) Support the deployment of ready to

use/operational technology resulting from

research and innovation strengthening an

integrated Union innovation ecosystem on


Technologies, offering testing and

experimentation facilities in Member

States.

Justification

Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies can significantly enhance access to

distributed datasets across the Union, facilitate notarisation of documents, and enable

traceability of transactions or movement of products in a way that is secure and compliant

with the EU acquis. They reinforce trust in applications involving multiple stakeholders,

enhance collaborative models and enable the defragmentation of distributed datasets. This

will lead to quality and efficiency gains, reducing administrative burden, in particular for

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE INTERNAL MARKET AND CONSUMER PROTECTION




(COM(2018)0434 – C8-0256/2018 – 2018/0227(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Evelyne Gebhardt

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Internet and new technologies are comprehensively changing our society and our economy.

Increasing investment in modern digital infrastructure – like high-performance computing,

artificial-intelligence products and services and efficient cybersecurity capacities – combined

with investment in advanced digital skills in these new technologies for workers and students

is crucial to ensure that citizens, industry, business and public administrations can take full

advantage of these developments and of the Digital Single Market.

In order to stimulate innovation, tackle market fragmentation under fair and balanced

conditions and achieve consumer confidence, such a substantial investment in infrastructure

and digital skills needs to be executed by the European Union, by Member States and by the

private sector. This is entirely in line with the European Parliament’s call, in its report

“Towards a digital single market act”1, for a long-term investment strategy in digital

infrastructure and skills as well as the support of digitisation of Europe’s industry and public

administration.

The new Digital Europe Programme can be a powerful instrument to support this digital

transformation. Furthermore, it complements other programmes of the European Union,

supports other Union policies and thus creates synergy effects, in particular with:

the Horizon Europe Programme, supporting research and development of new

1 Own initiative report “Towards a digital single market act” (2015/2147(INI)

DA

technologies;

the European Regional Development Funds (EDRF), supporting inter alia the

deployment of digital solutions, including cybersecurity;

the Connecting Europe Facility, providing infrastructure for broadband networks;

and the Single Market programme, supporting inter alia product safety in relation to

digital economy, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

The rapporteur welcomes the proposal of the new Digital Europe Programme and suggests to

maintain the total budget of the Programme of 8.192 billion in constant prices (i.e. 9.194

billion in current prices) as proposed by the Commission, in accordance with the agreement of

the European Parliament based on its resolution of 14 March 20181. Nevertheless, the

rapporteur calls on the Member States and the private sector to make the financial

contribution needed to achieve the Programme’s objectives.

Furthermore, the rapporteur welcomes the integration of existing and new Digital Innovation

Hubs to implement the Programme. Digital Innovation Hubs will support the digital

transformation of European industry, in particular SMEs, and of public administration and

diffuse digital capacities on a local level. Therefore, the rapporteur suggests increasing the

responsibilities of the Digital Innovation, clarifying that Hubs should be allowed to receive

other public or private contributions and own revenues created by the Digital Innovations

Hubs. In addition, Digital Innovation Hubs should be free to define their internal organisation,

their composition, their work programme and working methods.

In order to avoid significant investment gaps in other new technologies covered by the

Horizon Europe Programme but not the Digital Europe Programme, it should be made clear

that those other new technologies can attract funding under this Programme provided they are

part of a comprehensive and related solution with the technologies that are covered under

Articles 4 to 8.

Specific objectives:

The rapporteur supports the EuroHPC declaration and the proposal of the Commission for a

Council Regulation establishing the EuroHPC Joint undertaking, which seems to be an

effective and efficient instrument to acquire, deploy and maintain the integrated high

performance computing infrastructure.

In light of European industry’s undoubtedly increasing demand for AI robotics solutions and

distributed ledger technology (e.g. blockchain) and the importance of avoiding a significant

investment gap in these fields, the Programme’s objectives should encompass robotics

powered by artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology.

With regard to the fight against digital exclusion, the rapporteur suggests to open up

opportunities for advanced long-term training to all qualified persons. Given the large number

1 European Parliament resolution of 14 March 2018 on the next MFF: Preparing the Parliament’s position on the

MFF post-2020 reached with MFF 2021-2027

DA

of people that have to be trained to satisfy European industry’s needs, and given the challenge

of recruiting enough qualified trainers for that task, the rapporteur also suggests to support the

design and provision of a pan-European e-learning platform.

__________________ __________________


Justification

Given that on the one hand China, Japan and the United States are widely seen as leading

countries in relation to new technologies and that on the other hand the budget of the

Programme is limited to less than 10 billion Euro, a more realistic approach seems

appropriate. In its resolution of 16 February 2017 on the European cloud initiative, the

European Parliament already noted the lack of HPC capacity in Europe. It stressed that the

EU was ‘lagging behind in the development of HPC as a result of its under-investment in

establishing a complete HPC system, when countries like the USA, China, Japan and Russia

are significantly investing in such systems, making them a strategic priority, with national

programmes to develop them.

(34) Interoperability of European public

services concerns all levels of

administration: Union, national, regional

functioning Single Market, interoperability

facilitates successful implementation of

cross-border electronic barriers, further

securing the emergence of new, or the

consolidation of developing, common

public services at Union level. In order to

eliminate fragmentation of European

services, to support fundamental freedoms

and operational mutual recognition in the

EU, a holistic cross-sector and cross-border

approach to interoperability should be

promoted in the manner that is the most

effective, and the most responsive to end-

users. This implies that interoperability is

to be understood in a broad sense, spanning

from technical to legal layers and

encompassing policy elements in the field.

Accordingly, the span of activities would

go beyond the usual lifecycle of solutions

to include all the interventions elements

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT AND TOURISM




(COM(2018)0434 – C8-0256/2018 – 2018/0227(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Deirdre Clune

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

On 6 June 2018 the Commission proposed the Digital Europe Programme for the years 2021

until 2027. This proposal outlines the core objectives of the proposed programme, its budget

for the defined period and the different forms of EU funding for this programme and the rules

for their application.

The rapporteur for opinion is fully in support of the programme´s overarching objective to

encourage and support the digitalisation of the European economy and society. The

rapporteur believes that this is essential for Europe to keep-pace with the fast-moving

industrial and digital revolution and ensure that our economy and society is properly prepared.

It is essential to ensure European competitiveness and promote smart, inclusive and

sustainable growth.

The Commission´s proposed programme has five main objectives, which the rapporteur

agrees, that will help the EU to further improve the digitalisation of the EU economy, industry

and society by boosting investment in these specific streams. It is important to note that this is

the first pan-European digital programme and should be seen as a way to ensure the continued

competitiveness of the European economy while also strengthening the many projects of

common interest with a digital dimension across the Union.

Specific Objective´s 1 -3, particularly Cybersecurity and Trust are of particular importance, as

we need to apply high standards of cybersecurity as the transport system becomes more

digitised and connected, for example. The rapporteur believes that cross-border cooperation

between the Member States will be important in this regard. Specific Objective 4 (Advanced

RR\1170470DA.docx 207/305 PE625.457v02-00

DA

Digital Skills) is important to European transport and to meet the challenge of a potential

digital skills gap as transport becomes more digitised and connected. Specific Objective 5

(Deployment, better use of digital capacities and interoperability) is crucial to boosting

the deployment of digital technologies in transport in order to help improve road safety,

reduce congestion and emissions while also ensuring a high standard of cybersecurity and

adhering to data protection standards. Supporting the deployment of innovative and

interoperable solutions in areas such as public transport will be for the benefit of citizens and

business, especially SME´s in the transport sector.

While broadly welcoming the proposal, the rapporteur would like to highlight a few additions.

Notably, given the likely rise in the development and capacity for autonomous vehicles, the

Commission should clarify safety and liability rules for their fast and effective integration into

the market. In this vein, the programme should also ensure adequate tools and support for

start-ups and SME´s to swiftly integrate viable innovations into the market. The programme

should also be aware of the potential of digitalisation to improve barrier free accessibility,

particularly for older people and for those with reduced mobility.

Finally, the programme should ensure that there is synergy and complementarity with other

Union programmes and projects of common interest, particularly those with a multi sector

dimension. It is important that other funding programmes under the next MFF, like CEF-2,

are well aligned to ensure most efficient management of EU funds and to provide for the most

EU added value from the programme.

EU, a holistic, technology-neutral cross-

sector and cross-border approach to

interoperability should be promoted in the

manner that is the most effective, and the

most responsive to end-users. This implies

that interoperability is to be understood in a

broad sense, spanning from technical to

legal layers and encompassing policy

elements in the field. Accordingly, the span

of activities would go beyond the usual

lifecycle of solutions to include all the

interventions elements that would support

the necessary framework conditions for

have to exist in all Member States. Lack

of digital service infrastructure and

capacity still hampers the development of

smooth cross-border services. Therefore,

in addition to supporting the frontrunners

and champions and facilitating the

sharing of knowledge and best practises,

the Union and its programmes should

support and allocate adequate resources

for the establishment of the basic

preconditions and infrastructure for the

digital services. The starting point should

be to analyse the missing links, functions

and features needed for digital services

OPINION OF THE COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AFFAIRS

for the Committee on Industry Research and Energy


the Digital Europe programme for the period 2021 - 2027

(COM(2018)0434 – C8-0256/2018 – 2018/0227(COD))

Rapporteur for opinion: Evelyne Gebhardt

SHORT JUSTIFICATION

Internet and new technologies are comprehensively changing our society and our economy.

Increasing investment in modern digital infrastructure – like high-performance computing,

artificial-intelligence products and services and efficient cybersecurity capacities – combined

with investment in advanced digital skills in these new technologies for workers and students

is crucial to ensure that citizens, industry, business and public administrations can take full

advantage of these developments and of the Digital Single Market.

In order to stimulate innovation, tackle market fragmentation under fair and balanced

conditions and achieve consumer confidence, such a substantial investment in infrastructure

and digital skills needs to be executed by the European Union, by Member States and by the

private sector. This is entirely in line with the European Parliament’s call, in its report

“Towards a digital single market act”1, for a long-term investment strategy in digital

infrastructure and skills as well as the support of digitisation of Europe’s industry and public

administration.

The new Digital Europe Programme can be a powerful instrument to support this digital

transformation. Furthermore, it complements other programmes of the European Union,

supports other Union policies and thus creates synergy effects, in particular with:

the Horizon Europe Programme, supporting research and development of new

technologies;

the European Regional Development Funds (EDRF), supporting inter alia the

deployment of digital solutions, including cybersecurity;

the Connecting Europe Facility, providing infrastructure for broadband networks;

1 Own initiative report “Towards a digital single market act” (2015/2147(INI)

PE625.457v02-00 236/305 RR\1170470DA.docx

DA

and the Single Market programme, supporting inter alia product safety in relation to

digital economy, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

The rapporteur welcomes the proposal of the new Digital Europe Programme and suggests to

maintain the total budget of the Programme of 8.192 billion in constant prices (i.e. 9.194

billion in current prices) as proposed by the Commission, in accordance with the agreement of

the European Parliament based on its resolution of 14 March 20181. Nevertheless, the

rapporteur calls on the Member States and the private sector to make the financial

contribution needed to achieve the Programme’s objectives.

Furthermore, the rapporteur welcomes the integration of existing and new Digital Innovation

Hubs to implement the Programme. Digital Innovation Hubs will support the digital

transformation of European industry, in particular SMEs, and of public administration and

diffuse digital capacities on a local level. Therefore, the rapporteur suggests increasing the

responsibilities of the Digital Innovation, clarifying that Hubs should be allowed to receive

other public or private contributions and own revenues created by the Digital Innovations

Hubs. In addition, Digital Innovation Hubs should be free to define their internal organisation,

their composition, their work programme and working methods.

The rapporteur aims to uphold important values of the Programme, in particular the necessity

for its contribution to social equality including persons with disabilities and, in view of their

disproportionate underrepresentation in ICT, the principle of gender equality and women`s

rights. She also stresses, that the development of robotics and Artificial Intelligence needs

focus on complementing human capabilities and not on replacing them as set out in the

European Parliament’s report for civil law rules on robotics and that humans need to have

control over intelligent machines at all times.

In order to avoid significant investment gaps in other new technologies covered by the

Horizon Europe Programme but not the Digital Europe Programme, it should be made clear

that those other new technologies can attract funding under this Programme provided they are

part of a comprehensive and related solution with the technologies that are covered under Art.

4 to 8.

Recital 20 a (new)


(20 a) In its resolution of 12

September2018 on autonomous weapon

systems 1a , the European Parliament

reaffirmed the Union's ambition to be a

global actor for peace, called for the

expansion of its role in global

disarmament and non proliferation efforts

and urged the Vice-President of the

Commission / High-Representative of

Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the

Member States and the Council to work

towards the start of international

negotiations on a legally binding

instrument prohibiting lethal autonomous

weapon systems. Lethal autonomous

weapons are mostly based on Artificial

Intelligence. Consequently, any financial

contribution by the Union under Specific

Objective 2 of the Programme must not be

used for military purposes.

Recital 21













European Parliament highlighted, in the

context of potential vulnerabilities as

regards cyberattacks, sabotage,

manipulation of date or industrial

espionage, the importance of a common

European cybersecurity approach,

recognising the need to raise awareness on

enhancing cybersecurity and considered



European industrial security policymakers

and the need to make cybersecurity

requirements mandatory for public

procurement with regard to IT equipment

and IoT products.

Recital 21 a (new)


(21a) The resolution has also

highlighted the need to guarantee safety

and cybersecurity standards according to

the available state-of-the-art technology

and the principles of ‘security by design’

and ‘security by default’ as core design

parameters.

Amendment 21


Recital 21 b (new)


(21 b) Data and IT infrastructure

security and trust in the digital

environment are essential for unlocking

the full potential of growth and

innovation connected with the digitisation

of industry as well as public

administrations for the benefit of citizens,

workers, consumers and businesses,

including SMEs and start-ups.

Amendment 22


Recital 23 a (new)


(23 a) As a matter of principle,

cybersecurity solutions should contain

safety and, according to the available

state-of-the-art technology and the

principles of ‘security by design’ and

‘security by default’, cybersecurity

standards as core design parameters.

(27a) The European Parliament also

RR\1170470DA.docx 251/305 PE625.457v02-00

DA

noted the disproportionate gender gap in

terms of employment and training in the

ICT sector and the decrease of women

taking up ICT related higher education,

with negative implications for equality

and in the labour market. Therefore, the

Programme's objective regarding

advanced digitals skills should pay

particular attention to women and girls

and promote their career in the ICT area

of advanced digital skills. In addition, the

European Parliament noted its concern

about the impacts of digitisation on

working conditions and changes in the

labour market. The Parliament called for

safe and dignified working conditions and

adequate training to improve the digital

skills of the workforce in particular and

society as a whole.

Moreover, in view of the growing national

Amendment 30


Recital 33 a (new)


(33 a) Promoting digital infrastructure in

the most disadvantaged areas is key to

promoting inclusion. The reduction of the

'digital divide' in terms of use and access

to infrastructure and digital services

between administrations, individuals,

households, businesses and geographical

areas should be a central objective. The

digital divide prevents administrations,

especially local authorities, from taking

full advantage of the benefits that digital

technology can offer. This can continue to

contribute to increasing income

polarisation and stimulate long-term

unbalanced economic development.

PE625.457v02-00 254/305 RR\1170470DA.docx

Amendment 31


Recital 34 a (new)


(34 a) On 6 October 2017, Council of the

EU in Tallinn stated that the European

digital strategy should be based on

collaboration and interoperability,

including the use of open licensing

policies and open standards. The

programme should, therefore, demand or

incentivise open source solutions in order

to allow reuse, increase trust and secure

transparency. This will have a positive

impact on the sustainability of funded

projects.

Amendment 32


Recital 38


(38) The European Economic and Social

Committee welcomed the communication

considered it, together with accompanying

documents, as "the first step in a vast

European work programme to be carried

interested public and private parties".72

Committee welcomed the communication

Economic and Social Committee also

noted72a "that it remains to acknowledge

most of the repercussions that

digitalisation has for employment

purposes, which, therefore, are subject to

poor treatment in the corresponding

policies". Likewise, the aforementioned

communication pointed out the need to

improve collective bargaining and the

participation of workers in order to

(40) The General Data Protection

Regulation (GDPR), applicable from May

2018 onwards, by providing for a single set

of rules directly applicable in the Member

States legal orders, will guarantee the free

flow of personal data between EU Member

States and reinforce trust and security of

the individuals, two indispensable elements

for a real Digital Single Market. The

actions undertaken under this Programme,

when they involve the processing of

personal data, should therefore support the

application of the GDPR, for instance in

the field of artificial intelligence and

block chain technology.

concluded that the digital transformation

offers immense opportunities for

innovation, growth and jobs, will

contribute to our global competitiveness,

and enhance creative and cultural diversity.

Seizing these opportunities requires

collectively tackling the challenges posed

by the digital transformation in several

ways, including by ensuring that the

essential building blocks on which new

technologies rely are put in place, by

underlined the fact that cross-border

cybercrime is increasing rapidly which
