| (c) Clean energy and decarbonisation solutions in industry, including electrification of energy intensive industries and carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCS/CCU), and in cities, in particular for energy, transport and buildings. | (c) Clean energy and decarbonisation solutions in industry, including electrification of energy intensive industries and carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCS/CCU), cross-border CO2 transport networks connecting industrial clusters to permanent storage sites, carbon removal technologies, and in cities, in particular for energy, transport and buildings. |
The Commission text covers point-source capture (CCS/CCU) but not the infrastructure to move captured carbon dioxide to storage or the technologies to remove it from the atmosphere. Without cross-border transport infrastructure, capture investments risk being stranded. Industrial carbon removal technologies such as direct air capture and direct ocean capture are essential to meet net-zero commitments beyond emission reduction alone. This amendment ensures the ECF can fund the full carbon management chain.

| IV a CHAPTER IVa - SUPPORT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICINES | |
| 1.The Programme for a European SALK Institute shall be established to contribute to the fulfilment of European citizens' interest in being offered under all circumstances safe, effective, innovative and affordable medicines by a “market-shaping” or “market-creating” role rather than just a “market-fixing” role and this throughout the whole drug lifecycle: research, development, production, and distribution. Its main missions shall be | |
| a. to develop and present a comprehensive, forward-looking, long-term strategy and dedicated leadership and governance supported by the consensus of scientific communities and health authorities; | |
| b. build a portfolio of innovative pharmaceutical R&D projects in selected pharmaceutical areas and related biomedical fields with a thirty year time horizon looking at the needs of the next generation of European citizens. Projects should address therapeutic areas: | |
| (i) not sufficiently addressed by the private sector; or | |
| (ii) where the private sector charges exorbitant prices; or | |
| (iii) where there are shortages or supply is not secure. | |
| c. monitor the supply of raw materials or components for drugs, often imported from outside the EU. Based on the results of the monitoring, take action to address bottlenecks in the supply and promote public-led projects aimed at improving the security of supply for Europe, in collaboration with other EU institutions. | |
| d. promote and develop cooperation, in partnership with third-party research centres at national or European level and, where relevant, pharmaceutical companies, even outside the EU when needed, based on clear, transparent contractual arrangements.manage or carry out clinical studies relating to drugs already authorised such as: | |
| (i) comparative safety and effectiveness trials of existing drugs; | |
| (ii) long-term safety studies; and | |
| (iii) studies for drug repurposing. | |
| e. develop a system of conventions with national health systems for the development of clinical trials and organize, in collaboration with some industrial partners, owned or rented industrial plants for manufacturing medicine. Partnerships in non-European Union member countries can also be envisioned | |
| 2. The European SALK Institute will own the results of the R&D projects it undertakes or funds, either fully or where necessary in specific cases in public-led partnerships with private actors, and manage intellectual property rights and any other ownership rights on innovations exclusively in the public interest through open licences; |

Dedicated resources and fair governance rules shall ensure the effective participation of agricultural actors. | |
| Safeguards shall ensure the effective participation of agricultural actors through simplified and accessible funding conditions, appropriate co-financing arrangements and the active involvement of farmers, agri-cooperatives and their organisations in the governance, design and implementation of programmes and actions. | |
| Eligibility and selection criteria for agricultural investments shall take into account the specific characteristics of the sector, including dispersed beneficiaries, smaller-scale and collective projects, and the need for deployment in rural areas, while ensuring access for farmers, agri-cooperatives, SMEs across the agricultural value chain, resilience-oriented investments, and skills and advisory support. |
This amendment ensures that, within this chapter, agriculture is adequately and visibly supported, reflecting its strategic role in food security, resilience, the bioeconomy and the EU economy. It introduces safeguards to ensure that farmers, agri-cooperatives and rural actors can effectively access and participate in the ECF, taking into account the specific structure and investment realities of the agricultural sector.

The explicit inclusion of plant health is essential to fully reflect the One Health approach, in which plant health is a core determinant of human and animal health through the food and feed chain. Plant research and breeding serve as a preventive, upstream tool delivering resilient and climate-adapted varieties, while reducing production risks. Its explicit recognition therefore clarifies the need for integrated action under One Health in addressing cross-border risks.
