The Committee on Security and Defence proposes amendments to the proposed Horizon Europe regulation for 2028-2034, which sets rules for participation and dissemination and repeals Regulation (EU) 2021/695. The amendments add defence and dual-use themes: synergies with defence research and the European Competitiveness Fund, and a new article allowing dual-use actions only in calls explicitly designated as open to them. They add rules on association of third countries for dual-use actions, a fast-track mechanism for promising defence applications, and conditions on security, resilience and export control. They also amend provisions on the European Innovation Council, international cooperation, crisis and disaster research, democratic values and disinformation, and critical technologies for defence.
Position. The Committee on Security and Defence proposes 13 amendments to the Horizon Europe proposal, adding defence and dual-use provisions, third-country association rules, a fast-track mechanism for defence applications, and changes on the EIC, international cooperation, crisis research and disinformation.
Key points
- Recital 2 would add that Horizon Europe should strengthen excellence, competitiveness, resilience, sustainability, technological leadership and social cohesion, with synergies with the defence research programme under the ECF Regulation.
- A new recital 2a would require structured coordination so results with potential defence applications can move from Horizon Europe to EU programmes for scale-up, industrialisation and deployment, especially the European Competitiveness Fund.
- A new recital 14a would keep research bottom-up and civilian but allow dual-use activities, limited to calls explicitly designated as open to them, with eligibility, security screening, result-protection and participation conditions.
- Recital 15 would have the European Innovation Council include a 'DARPA'-like approach for defence and dual-use startups, in complementarity with the ECF InvestEU Instrument, EUDIS and CASSINI.
- Recital 21 would promote cooperation with third countries, particularly neighbouring regions and candidate countries aligned with the Common Foreign and Security Policy, while barring hostile or potentially hostile third countries and strategic competitors from dual-use actions.
- Recital 22 would require eligibility and participation conditions for sensitive or dual-use technologies to reflect geographic scope and security requirements, with security, resilience and export-control considerations.
- Recital 23 would add hybrid attacks, critical dependencies, maritime situational awareness, maritime surveillance, protection of critical infrastructure and resilience of coastal and fisheries dependent communities to crisis and disaster research.
- Article 1(3) would add that activities under the defence research Specific Programme aim to foster the technological superiority, competitiveness, efficiency and innovation capacity of the European defence technological and industrial base.
- A new Article 5a would allow dual-use actions only where a work programme explicitly designates a call as open to them, only in chapters III and IV and at Technology Readiness Level 6 or above, without changing the civilian character of the regulation.
- A new Article 5b would allow association of third countries to dual-use actions only if they do not contravene EU security and defence interests, align with the CFSP, pose no risk to economic security or sanctions enforcement, and adhere to international law.
- A new Article 5c would have the Commission monitor projects, identify promising defence applications and ensure their swift uptake into European Competitiveness Fund work programmes, using prior evaluations and additional rules.
- Article 15(4) would add Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference to the societal challenges on democratic values and disinformation; Article 16(5) would let the EIC support critical technologies for defence with the ECF policy window on Resilience and Security, Defence Industry and Space.
Who is affected
- Research and innovation participants, who could take part in dual-use actions only in designated calls meeting security and eligibility conditions.
- Third countries and their entities, whose association to dual-use actions would depend on CFSP alignment, economic security and international law criteria.
- Defence and dual-use startups, which the European Innovation Council would support through a 'DARPA'-like approach.
- The European defence technological and industrial base, whose technological superiority, competitiveness, efficiency and innovation capacity the defence research programme would aim to foster.
- Coastal and fisheries dependent communities, whose resilience would be addressed in crisis and disaster research.
Figures and deadlines
- 2028-2034: the period of the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
- Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6: minimum level for dual-use actions under new Article 5a.
- Article 136 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 and Article 10 of Regulation (EU) XXX [European Competitiveness Fund]: provisions promoting competitiveness and protecting economic security.
- Articles 50 and 51 of Regulation (EU) XXX [European Competitiveness Fund]: to apply when the EIC supports critical technologies for defence.

The Committee on Security and Defence submits the following to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as 5the committee responsible:
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (2) To deliver scientific, technological, economic, environmental and societal impact and to maximise the added value of the Union's R&I investments, the Union should invest in research and innovation through Horizon Europe - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for the period 2028-2034 (the ‘Programme’), which should strengthen competitiveness, resilience, sustainability, technological leadership, and social cohesion. | (2) To deliver scientific, technological, economic, environmental and societal impact and to maximise the added value of the Union's R&I investments, the Union should invest in research and innovation through Horizon Europe - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for the period 2028-2034 (the ‘Programme’), which should strengthen excellence, competitiveness, resilience, sustainability, technological leadership, and social cohesion, while ensuring proper articulation and synergies with the Specific Programme on defence research established under the ECF Regulation. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (2a) In order to achieve these overarching goals, it is paramount to ensure a seamless investment journey from research to deployment, which requires that actions and results with potential defence applications generated under this Programme can be swiftly taken up by other EU programmes supporting scale-up, industrialisation and deployment, in particular under Regulation (EU) XXX [European Competitiveness Fund]. Structured coordination mechanisms are necessary to enable the seamless transition of breakthrough and dual-use technologies from civilian research under Horizon Europe to defence capability development under defence-specific Union programmes. For that purpose, the Commission should actively scout and identify results from any component of the Programme that may deserve to be further exploited and ensure coherence and coordination between the different work programmes. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (14a) In this spirit, research and early-stage innovation should remain driven by a bottom-up approach and be primarily driven by the civilian character of the Programme. However, due to the volatile geopolitical landscape, the evolving nature of security threats, and the increasingly frequent possibility for spillovers of civilian technologies in the defence domain, it is essential to allow the possibility for activities with dual-use applications to be financed under this Programme. Facilitating dual-use R&I would allow for strategic synergies between civil and defence programmes, accelerating the development and deployment of critical technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other emerging areas. Where supported activities relate to technologies, products or applications with both civilian and military uses, so-called dual-use actions, eligibility should be limited to calls explicitly designated as open to such dual-use actions, without affecting the civilian character of the Programme or resulting in systematic defence funding, and subject, where appropriate, to specific eligibility, security screening, result-protection and participation conditions necessary to safeguard the Union’s security and defence interests. When designating calls open to dual-use actions, the work programme should take into account the level of technological maturity of the proposed activities, such that dual-use support under the Programme should focus primarily on TRL of 6 and above, where it is possible to clearly identify the different applications of a certain technology or product. Where activities are primarily driven by defence-specific operational requirements, the Commission should instead rely on Union defence instruments under the European Competitiveness Fund, ensuring appropriate coordination, in order to avoid overlaps and to preserve the civilian character of the Programme. |

| 15) The European Innovation Council (EIC) should stimulate deep tech market-creating innovation. It should identify, develop and deploy these deep tech innovations through its instruments. Through coherent and streamlined support, the EIC should fill the vacuum in public support and private investment for breakthrough technologies and deep tech innovation. The EIC should aim to bridge, integrate and accelerate through its instruments the innovator’s journey from research to market and enable the Union to have leading companies in emerging areas of technology to meet its social and economic objectives and avoid dependencies on other regions. The EIC should support high risk, high-potential innovations and companies presenting such technological, scientific, financial, management or market risks that they are not yet considered to be fully bankable and therefore cannot raise the necessary level of investments to be globally competitive from the market. This should incorporate both an ‘open’ (bottom-up) and a ‘challenge’ driven approach, in close coordination and synergy with the European Competitiveness Fund and its policy windows. It should include a ‘DARPA’-like approach dedicated to supporting defence and dual use startups and their scaling up operating in full complementarity with the ECF InvestEU Instrument and the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS) and CASSINI (Space entrepreneurship initiative) activities. The implementation should be done in close synergy and coordination with the European Competitiveness Fund. | (15) The European Innovation Council (EIC) should stimulate deep tech market-creating innovation.

Such support should be implemented under specific governance and coordination arrangements taking into account the defence capability priorities commonly agreed by Member States, in particular the Capability Development Plan, while avoiding duplication with other Union defence instruments. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |

| (21) Acknowledging the benefit derived from international cooperation towards addressing, among others, shared technological, economic, environmental and societal concerns, the Programme, should promote cooperation with third countries. International cooperation should aim to strengthen the Union’s competitiveness and excellence in R&I, including its capacity to attract and retain the best talents worldwide. Geo-political considerations including economic security should be at the centre of the approach and varying degrees of cooperation should be considered based on an overall assessment of the benefit that could be derived by the Union towards addressing its priorities and global challenges while safeguarding the Union’s values and interests. Association to all or parts of the Programme should remain the most comprehensive form of cooperation. For EIC defence related activities, only entities established in third countries associated with the European Competitiveness Fund for defence activities should be eligible for funding. The Programme may support activities financed by the Global Europe programme provided they comply with the rules and objectives of this Regulation in line with the provisions on synergies. | (21) Acknowledging the benefit derived from international cooperation towards addressing, among others, shared technological, economic, security, environmental and societal concerns, the Programme, should promote cooperation with third countries, particularly the ones from neighbouring regions, with a particular focus on candidate countries which are fully aligned with the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy and which fully respect the principle of good neighbourly relations. International cooperation should aim to strengthen the Union’s competitiveness and excellence in R&I, including its capacity to attract and retain the best talents worldwide. Geo-political considerations including economic security should be at the centre of the approach and varying degrees of cooperation should be considered based on an overall assessment of the benefit that could be derived by the Union towards addressing its priorities and global challenges while safeguarding the Union’s values and interests. Association to all or parts of the Programme should remain the most comprehensive form of cooperation. Nevertheless, in view of the sensitive nature of certain activities, participation in dual-use actions under this Regulation should be governed by specific rules that prevent the participation of hostile or potentially hostile third countries and strategic competitors. In particular, the complementary rules on the association of third countries to the Programme in respect of dual-use actions must ensure that countries fulfill strict conditions relating to the security and defence interests of the Union and its Member States, including the principle of good neighbourly relations, as established in the framework of the CFSP pursuant to Title V of the TEU; have significant alignment with the CFSP; do not represent a risk for the economic security or sanctions enforcement of the Union and its Member States; and fully adhere to international law. For EIC defence related activities, only entities established in third countries associated with the European Competitiveness Fund for defence activities should be eligible for funding. The Programme may support activities financed by the Global Europe programme provided they comply with the rules and objectives of this Regulation in line with the provisions on synergies. |

| (22) To reinforce the Union’s strategic autonomy and ensure long-term sustainable economic growth, it is essential to bolster its global competitiveness while safeguarding its strategic assets and interests as outlined in the European Economic Security Strategy1. Article 136 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 as complemented by Article 10 of Regulation (EU) XXX [European Competitiveness Fund] promote the competitiveness of the Union and protect its economic security. The application of these provisions for the purpose of the Programme should provide an appropriate legal framework to allow, where necessary, for the establishment of specific conditions regarding award procedures that promote research-driven competitiveness and protect the interests and strategic autonomy of the Union, including measures aimed at restricting participation or protecting results and ensuring coherence and consistency with specific rules under the European Competitiveness Fund windows. Where necessary, a risk-based approach should be applied to ensure that risks related to research and innovation are identified, assessed, and addressed through proportionate and effective measures2. In accordance with Article 136 of the Financial Regulation, eligibility restrictions should apply to high-risk suppliers, for security reasons. | (22) To reinforce the Union’s strategic autonomy and ensure long-term sustainable economic growth, it is essential to bolster its global competitiveness while safeguarding its strategic assets and interests as outlined in the European Economic Security Strategy1.
