Industrial Policy - Background

• The Commission announced a policy initiative for the EU security industry in the EU 2020 flagship initiative "An Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era Putting Competitiveness and Sustainability at Centre Stage". COM(2010) 614

• This lead to the dedicated Communication "Security Industrial Policy - Action Plan for an innovative and competitive Security Industry" COM(2012) 417

Communication on the Security Industrial Policy – COM(2012)417

Action Plan for an innovative and competitive Security Industry

Objectives:

1. Overcoming the fragmentation of the EU security market

2. Reducing the gap from research to market

3. Better integration of the societal dimension

4

1. Overcoming market fragmentation

• Standardisation

• Certification/ conformity assessment procedures

• Synergies between security and defence technologies ("Dual-Use research")

5

2. Reducing the gap from research to market

• Aligning funding programmes, exploiting IPR routes

• Pre-commercial procurement (PCP)

• Access to international procurement markets

• Third party liability limitation

6

3. Better integration of the societal dimension

• Societal impact: “checking” during the R&D phase

• Privacy by design and privacy by default during the design phase

Security research &the 7th Framework Programme (FP7)

•FP7-Security (2007-2013):

1,400 Mio EUR (20% to SMEs)

More than 250 projects and 2,500 participants

• EU funding: more than 40% of total European funding

8

The new "Horizon–2020"

• Aim: securing Europe's global competitiveness by investing in science and innovation

• Budget: €79 000 million

• Duration: 2014-2020

What has changed in H-2020?• Strong challenge-based approach• Focus on societal challenges facing EU society• Simplified list of possible actions• Mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues• Coupling research to innovation: from research to retail, all

forms of innovation• Participation is easier:

- easier access

- easier applications- less reporting- shorter time to grant- quicker payments- fewer audits

H-2020 Key pillars

Supporting Europe's excellent science base

Building industrial leadership in Europe

Tackling societal challenges for a better society Secure societies

Security: a societal challenge

It concerns the protection of citizens, society and economy as well as Europe's assets, infrastructures and services, its prosperity, political stability and well-being.

Any malfunction or disruption, intentional or accidental, can have a detrimental impact with high associated economic or societal costs.

The security industry is one of the sectors with highest potential for growth and employment in the EU. In 2011, the sector employed 180,000 people, with an annual turnover of approximately €30 billion.

•Overcoming market fragmentation through EU-wide standards•Reducing the gap from research to market by introducing new funding schemes such as Pre-Commercial Procurement•Better integration of societal considerations by thoroughly assessing the impact of security technologies on fundamental rights

Secure Societies: does industry matter?

Security Research

• Maintains its mission driven character• Supports EU internal and external security policies• Supports the EU industry to be competitive• Strengthens the involvement of the end-users• Takes more into account the Societal Dimension• Includes Cyber-Security

Stakeholder involvement

Security is an issue that can only be tackled effectively if all stakeholders cooperate. Representatives of the public and private sector need to work together across borders. The Work Programme is addressed to:

- private companies

- industrial corporations

- institutional stakeholders

- civil society organisations

Features

Strengthened coordination with relevant EU-Agencies: FRONTEX, EUROPOL, ENISA, EMSA, eu-LISA etc.

Closer coordination with the activities of EDA

Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)

In “Security Industrial Policy-Action Plan for an innovative and competitive Security Industry” (COM(2012) 417 final) it is written :

“Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) is a very useful tool in bridging the gap from research to market…..in particular in domains, where there is an institutional market or a market largely driven by legislation, given that public procurement of innovative products and services is vital for improving the quality and efficiency of public services at a time of budget constraints.

Eventually, PCP should enable public users to play a more central role in the innovation cycle through the purchase of novel technologies. Procurers should act as "agents of change".

The Commission intends to devote a significant part of the Secure Societies budget in Horizon 2020 on this instrument.

Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)

PCP: using public-sector demand to drive development of innovative solutions from Europe’s research and private sectors.

It is an additional tool that can be used to bridge the gap between research and market.

PCP should enable public users to play a more central role in the innovation cycle through th purchase of novel technologies.

Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)

When?Challenge requires R&D to get new solutions introduced. Problem clear, but pros/cons of several potential competing solutions not evaluated/validated yet. PCP: No commitment to deploy yet (PPI).

What?Public sector contracts R&D to steer development of solutions to its needs, gather info about pros/cons of alternative solutions to be better informed to make specs for a possible PPI follow-up, to avoid supplier lock-in situation (create competitive supply base)

How?Public sector buys R&D from several suppliers in parallel (comparing alternative solution approaches), in form of competition evaluating progress after critical milestones (design, prototyping, test phase), risks & benefits of R&D (e.g. IPRs) shared with suppliers to maximise incentives for wide commercialisation

PPI - Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions

When?Challenge requires solution which is almost on the market or already on the market in small quantity but not meeting public sector requirements for large scale deployment yet. No R&D involved (already done, or not needed)

What?Public sector acts as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer for innovative products and services that are newly arriving on the market (not widely commercially available yet)

How?Public sector acts as facilitator establishing a buyers group with critical mass that triggers industry to scale up its production chain to bring products on the market with desired quality / price ratio within a specific time. After potentially a test / certification / labelling, the buyers group buys a significant volume of solutions.

Also normally multiple sourcing here to keep competition going

Objectives:– Price/quality products that better fit public sector needs– Earlier customer feedback for companies developing solutions– Better take-up/Wider commercialisation of R&D results

International Dimension

• All topics are open to international cooperation• Some topics explicitly encourage international

cooperation:

• "In line with the EU's strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation international cooperation is

encouraged, and in particular with international research partners involved in on-going discussions and workshops, and US homeland security research entities. Funding for third countries is however still subject to the  evaluations."

• Eligibility for funding: see Art. 10.2 of the Rules for Participation

Conclusions of the European Council (19-20/12)First thematic debate on defence since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.

Highlighted the importance of an effective Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP).

Recognised that financial constraints and fragmented defence markets limit military capabilities and jeopardise the stability and competitiveness of Europe's defence and security industry.

A number of priority actions were identified:-Increasing the effectiveness, visibility and impact of CSDP-Enhancing the development of capabilities-Strengthening Europe's defence industry

European Council – Research & Dual-use

"To ensure the long-term competitiveness of the European defence industry and secure the modern capabilities needed, it is essential to retain defence Research & Technology (R&T) expertise, especially in critical defence technologies."

-Civil and defence research reinforce each other-Further dual-use research is encouraged-Synergies between national and EU research should be maximised-A Preparatory Action on CDSP-related research will be set up
