Competitiveness and innovation framework programme (2007-2013)
The Council held an exchange of views on the proposal for a Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007-2013) (CIP). It asked the Permanent Representatives Committee to continue its detailed examination of the proposal and to report back to it on the state of play at a forthcoming meeting.
This proposal for a Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme brings together existing specific programmes into a three pillar framework and also introduces new measures. The Commission proposes a total financial allocation of more than EUR 4 billion for the 2007-2013 period.
The three specific programmes covered by this Programme are the following:
1) Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme: This covers the multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship and some elements of the LIFE Programme for the environment. It also covers some measures hitherto carried out under previous framework research programmes.
2) ICT Policy Support Programme: This pillar will continue to cover the objectives of the eTen, Modonis and eContent programmes, in accordance with the new i2000 strategy (European Information Society 2010) to be announced in 2005.
3) Intelligent Energy - Europe Programme: This programme aims to support the development of environmental technologies, particularly in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.
