Almennar upplýsingar

Útdráttur

Með reglugerð þessari er komið á fót vettvangi til að styðja við mikilvægar og upprennandi tæknigreinar og virðiskeðjur þeirra (STEP). Reglugerðin fjallar þ.a.l. um hvernig stuðningnum skuli háttað, þ.e. í gegnum sjóði með tengsl við tilskipun (ESB) 2003/87 (ETS-tilskipunin).

Nánari efnisumfjöllun

Reglugerð þessi leggur grunninn að STEP vettvanginum sem er ætlað að stuðla að aukinni  fjárfestingu í mikilvægum iðnaði og upprennandi tækni, sem og virðiskeðjum er það varðar. Markmið STEP vettvangsins er  að styðja við verkefni í eftirfarandi atvinnugreinum:I) Stafræn tækniII) Hrein tækni og tækni sem nýtir aðföng á skilvirkan hátt.  m.a. tækni sem stuðlar að kolefnisjöfnun eins og hún er skilgreind í reglugerð (ESB) 2024/1735III) Líftækni         Verkefni sem stuðla að STEP markmiðum fá STEP vottun til að staðfesta að þau stuðli að markmiðum vettvangsins. Á grundvelli vottunarinnar munu verkefnin eiga aukna möguleika á að hljóta stuðning úr ýmsum sjóðum ESB, þ.á.m. sjóðum í tengslum við viðskiptakerfi ESB með losunarheimildir (ETS). Framkvæmdastjórn mun halda úti STEP gátt sem verður heimasíða en gáttin mun veita upplýsingar um fjármögnunartækifæri og verkefni er stuðla að STEP markmiðum. Gáttin mun tengja saman frumkvöðla og fjármagn og gera STEP verkefni sýnilegri.  Í þessari umfjöllun er fyrst og fremst lögð áhersla á tengsl STEP við ETS-sjóði. Í gerðinni er kveðið á um þau á eftirfarandi stöðum:1. 5. mgr. 4. gr.Kveðið er á um Nútímavæðingarsjóðurinn skuli veita verkefnum á sviði hreinnar og skilvirkrar orku forgang ef þau hafa STEP innsigli.   2. 9. gr. Kveðið á um að auglýsingar á styrkjum úr Nýsköpunarsjóðnum skuli framkvæmdastjórn ESB gefa STEP verkefnum sérstakan gaum. Með 9. gr. er nýrri málsgrein bætt við ETS-tilskipunina. Mikilvægt er að hafa í huga að síðari málsl. ákvæðisins fjallar um úthlutun í sjóði sem Ísland er ekki þátttakandi í enda gerðir er þá varðar, og vísað er til í málsl., ekki verið teknar upp í samninginn um Evrópska efnahagssvæðið. Eðlilegt er að við upptöku þessarar gerðar sé gerð tæknilega aðlögun vegna þessa.

Samantekt EUR-Lex

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?

Regulation (EU) 2024/795:

  • establishes a strategic technologies for Europe platform (STEP) to support critical and emerging strategic technologies and their respective value chains in relevant sectors;
  • sets out:
    • STEP objectives and financing,
    • rules for implementing the STEP Seal (known in the regulation as the Sovereignty Seal) and the STEP portal,
    • reporting rules on the STEP objectives.

KEY POINTS

The STEP objectives are:

  • supporting the development or manufacturing of critical technologies in the EU and safeguarding and strengthening their value chains by steering funding across 11 European Union (EU) programmes in three target investment areas:
    • digital technologies,
    • clean and resource-efficient technologies,
    • biotechnologies, including medicinal products;
  • addressing shortages of labour and skills critical for all kinds of quality jobs, especially through lifelong learning, education and training, in close cooperation with social partners and existing programmes.

The regulation stipulates:

  • that technologies are critical when they meet either of the following conditions:
    • they bring to the market an innovative, emerging and cutting-edge element with significant economic potential to the single market, or
    • they contribute to reducing or preventing the EU’s strategic dependencies;
  • the value chain for the development or manufacturing of critical technologies related to final products, to specific components and specific machinery used for the production of critical raw materials and to the associated critical and specific services.

More details on the scope of STEP are provided in a Commission Communication published in all EU languages on 13 May 2024.

Funding

STEP uses a mix of financial incentives and measures to leverage funding from:

STEP Seal

The European Commission awards the STEP Seal to projects contributing to any of the STEP objectives, provided they meet certain criteria. This seal:

  • is used as a quality label, especially for:
    • support under another EU programme,
    • financing through cumulative or combined funding from another EU source,
    • EU Member States to consider such schemes as priority projects in their recovery and resilience plans and Modernisation Fund investments;
  • must comply with the EU State aid rules and international obligations;
  • is valid for the lifetime of the project, but lapses if the project has not started within 5 years of the award or is relocated outside the EU.

The Commission:

  • promotes the STEP Seal to enhance a project’s visibility;
  • sets up and manages the STEP portal;
  • liaises with national authorities and other relevant stakeholders, exchanging information on financial needs, bottlenecks and best practice;
  • fosters contacts across the technology sectors;
  • promotes consistency, coherence, synergy and complementarity among EU programmes to support STEP projects.

STEP portal

On 1 March 2024, the Commission launched a dedicated, publicly available website (the STEP portal) to increase the visibility of STEP projects, updating it on a regular basis. This contains:

  • information on relevant EU programmes and calls for proposals and tenders;
  • details on the projects awarded the STEP Seal;
  • details on the projects identified as strategic under the net-zero industry and critical raw materials acts;
  • details on the national contact points Member States had to appoint by 2 June 2024.

The Commission:

  • monitors details on the implementation of STEP, submitting a publicly available report to the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union;
  • will provide the two institutions with an interim evaluation report by 31 December 2025.

The regulation amends Directive 2003/87/EC (see summary) and Regulations (EU) 2021/1058 (see summary), 2021/1056, 2021/1057 (see summary), 2021/1060 (see summary), 2021/523, 2021/695, 2021/697 and 2021/241 and (EU) Nos 1303/2013 (see summary) and 223/2014 (see summary).

FROM WHEN DOES THE REGULATION APPLY?

It has applied since 1 March 2024.

BACKGROUND

STEP is designed to help ensure the EU’s sovereignty and security, reduce its dependency in strategic sectors, strengthen its competitiveness and accelerate the transition towards a green and digital economy.
