L'aide publique au développement de Team Europe atteint 70,2 milliards d'euros en 2021

L'UE et ses 27 États membres ont continué d'augmenter leur aide publique au développement (APD) en faveur des pays partenaires à travers le monde, pour atteindre 70,2 milliards d'euros en 2021. Cela correspond à une hausse de 4,3 % en termes nominaux et à l'équivalent de 0,49 % du revenu national brut (RNB) collectif, selon les chiffres préliminaires publiés par le Comité d'aide au développement de l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (CAD-OCDE). L'UE et ses États membres, réunis au sein de Team Europe, confirment ainsi leur position de premier donateur mondial, fournissant 43 % de l'APD mondiale. La commissaire chargée des partenariats internationaux, Jutta Urpilainen, a déclaré : « En 2021, Team Europe a une nouvelle fois augmenté son aide au développement à un moment crucial où nos pays partenaires sont non seulement confrontés à des défis mondiaux de long terme, mais aussi aux conséquences directes de la guerre d'agression menée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine. En dépit de circonstances difficiles, nous restons attachés aux Objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Pour atteindre nos objectifs, nous devons utiliser nos ressources de manière plus stratégique et plus efficace. Notre stratégie Global Gateway, mise en œuvre dans le cadre de l'approche Team Europe, est la marche à suivre pour faire de l'aide publique au développement non seulement une source de financement significative pour atteindre les ODD, mais également un outil efficace pour stimuler l'investissement privé afin d'atteindre le niveau nécessaire de financement du développement. » L'UE et ses États membres sont déterminés à respecter leur engagement collectif à fournir au moins 0,7 % du RNB collectif sous forme d'APD d'ici 2030.

Sécheresses en Europe en juillet 2022: près de la moitié du territoire de l'UE à risque

Le Centre commun de recherche de la Commission a publié aujourd'hui son rapport sur « La sécheresse en Europe — juillet 2022 », une évaluation de la situation de sécheresse en Europe fondée sur le travail de l'Observatoire européen de la sécheresse. L'analyse de l'évolution et de l'incidence de la sécheresse prolongée dans l'UE montre qu'une partie inquiétante du territoire est actuellement exposée à des niveaux de sécheresse d'avertissement (46 % de l'UE) et d'alerte (11 % de l'UE), associés à un déficit d'humidité du sol associé au stress végétal. Mariya Gabriel, commissaire chargée de l'innovation, de la recherche, de la culture, de l'éducation et de la jeunesse, a déclaré à ce propos: « Le changement climatique augmente le risque de graves sécheresses et d'incendies de forêt dans le monde. Le Centre commun de recherche met la science et les technologies au service de la surveillance du changement climatique. Avec ce rapport, nous avons une meilleure compréhension de la situation afin de protéger nos forêts, nos récoltes et nos eaux. » Le stress hydrique et thermique entraîne une baisse des rendements des cultures par rapport à des perspectives antérieures déjà négatives pour les céréales et les autres cultures. La France, la Roumanie, l'Espagne, le Portugal et l'Italie devront probablement faire face à cette baisse du rendement des cultures. Dans une certaine mesure, l'Allemagne, la Pologne, la Hongrie, la Slovénie et la Croatie sont également concernées. En Italie, le bassin du Pô est confronté au niveau de gravité de sécheresse le plus élevé. La sécheresse intense a été déclarée dans cinq régions italiennes et l'insuffisante disponibilité de l'eau a entraîné des restrictions d'utilisation multiples dans les municipalités. Des mesures similaires visant à limiter l'utilisation de l'eau ont été prises en France. Le Centre commun de recherche produit des informations en temps réel sur la sécheresse par l'intermédiaire des observatoires européens et mondiaux de la sécheresse (EDO et GDO), qui font partie du service Copernicus de gestion des urgences (CEMS).

Forest fires: EU mobilises assistance for Slovenia

The EU Civil Protection Mechanism continues to channel assistance to respond to the severe forest fires breaking out across Europe. Over the weekend, Slovenia activated the mechanism asking for support to battle a forest fire in Nova Gorica, close to the Italian border. Following this request, 1 plane from the rescEU reserve stationed in Croatia was deployed to strengthen the response in the most affected areas, where by now the fires were brought under control. Over the course of the weekend, the Emergency Response Coordination Centre also activated the Copernicus satellite service to support French authorities monitor the situation of forest fires in the southwestern region of the country. This comes on top of the 2 firefighting planes deployed last week from the rescEU fleet to help fight forest fires in France. Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, said: "Forest fires represent an unpredictable threat lingering on all of us and therefore requires immediate action. Our Civil Protection Mechanism has mobilised aid for Slovenia and is tirelessly monitoring the situation in France and all over Europe. I thank Croatia and all the Member States for their continued support. The EU's 24/7 Emergency Response Coordination Centre stands ready to coordinate further assistance.” The European Union's 24/7 Emergency Response Coordination Centre is in regular contact with the relevant national authorities to closely monitor the situation and channel the EU assistance.

EU Cohesion Policy: €3.5 billion for Estonia's economic and social development and green transition in 2021-2027

Estonia will receive €3.5 billion Cohesion Policy funding to support economic, social and territorial cohesion in 2021-2027 in the framework of the Partnership Agreement between the Commission and Estonia, which was adopted today. This Agreement will also support the implementation of key EU priorities such as the green and digital transition and contribute to competitive, innovative and export-oriented growth. The Partnership Agreement covers the Cohesion Policy funds, as well as the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund. It paves the way for the implementation of these investments on the ground through 2 national programmes and 5 INTERREG programmes (concerning cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation). Moreover, the Partnership Agreement reflects Estonia's strong commitment to the coordinated use of Cohesion Policy funds with the Recovery and Resilience Facility. Under Cohesion Policy, and in cooperation with the Commission, each Member State prepares a Partnership Agreement, a strategic document for programming investments from the Cohesion Policy funds and the EMFAF during the Multiannual Financial Framework. It presents a list of national programmes for implementation on the ground. The 2021-2027 Partnership Agreement with Estonia is the 15^th to be adopted. More details in the press release.

New Pact for Skills partnership to boost digital skills

Today, with the support of the Commission, EU associations, companies, organisations, trade unions, universities, training providers and national federations set up a new partnership for skills in the digital ecosystem. This new partnership will enable the upskilling and reskilling of workers and attract more people to the digital industry. The partnership will help people and businesses acquire necessary digital skills, which will contribute to the objectives of the digital and green transitions of Europe's economy. It will focus first on improving the skills of the workforce of the partners of the digital sector. Partners will then develop common targets, for instance on the number of people to be reskilled and monitor future developments on upskilling and reskilling. Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton, said: “Digital skills are a cornerstone of the digital and green transition. They are also key to success for businesses of all sizes. The Digital Ecosystem's Skills Partnership under the Pact for Skills will take a leading role in making the EU economy fit for the challenges of the future. It will also inspire others – whether in the Digital Ecosystem or any other industrial ecosystem – to turn digital opportunities into successful business models that benefit citizens and businesses alike.” Commissioner for Jobs and Social rights, Nicolas Schmit, said: “Digital skills are fundamental for all businesses of Europe's economy. This partnership will strengthen the digital skills of European workers which enables them to navigate today's ever-changing labour market. I am pleased to see that yet another partnership for skills under the Pact for Skills is concluded which will contribute to Europe's competitiveness and social cohesion.” Following commitments in other industrial ecosystems, this new partnership is part of the Pact for Skills, one of the flagship initiatives under the European Skills Agenda. The new partnership will work closely with other existing partnerships in other sectors, where digital skills play a crucial role. It will seek synergies and collaboration with other existing initiatives (such as Digital Skills & Jobs Coalition or the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs) to use existing best practices and guidance as an inspiration for the partnership. The Pact for Skills contributes to one of the three EU social targets set out in the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan of having at least 60% of all adults participate in training every year by 2030. (For more information: Sonya Gospodinova – Tel.: +32 229 66953; Veerle Nuyts – Tel.: +32 229 96302; Célia Dejond – Tel.: +32 229 88199; Tommaso Alberini – Tel.: +32 229 57010)

Health Union: HERA secures additional vaccine doses in response to the ongoing monkeypox outbreak

Today, HERA, the Commission's Health Preparedness and Response Authority, has secured an additional 54,530 doses of the company Bavarian Nordic's 3^rd generation vaccine, now bringing the total number of doses purchased for Member States to respond to the ongoing monkeypox outbreak to 163,620.  Deliveries of the EU-funded monkeypox vaccines will continue to be taking place over the coming weeks and months and throughout the remainder of the year to EU Member States, Norway and Iceland. Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides, said: “I am concerned by the increasing number of monkeypox cases in the EU. We now have over 7,000 cases in the EU, an almost 50% increase since a week ago. We have reacted swiftly and ensured a rapid response through the European Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) and have already delivered around 25 000 doses to 6 Member States. We have now secured over 160,000 doses of vaccines to respond promptly to the progression of the spread of this virus. This is the European Health Union delivering for our citizens.” The Commission's Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) has purchased the third-generation vaccine for and on behalf of HERA. Based on the number of cases, deliveries continue for prioritized Member States, which have granted national exemptions for the vaccine.  (For more information: Stefan de Keersmaecker – Tel.: +32 2 298 46 80; Célia Dejond – Tel.: +32 2 298 81 99)

State Aid: Commission approves up to €5.4 billion of public support by fifteen Member States for an Important Project of Common European Interest in the hydrogen technology value chain

The Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, an Important Project of Common European Interest (‘IPCEI') to support research and innovation and first industrial deployment in the hydrogen technology value chain. The project, called 'IPCEI Hy2Tech' was jointly prepared and notified by fifteen Member States: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain. The Member States will provide up to €5.4 billion in public funding, which is expected to unlock additional €8.8 billion in private investments. As part of this IPCEI, 35 companies with activities in one or more Member States, including 8 small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs') and start-ups, will participate in 41 projects. The IPCEI will cover a wide part of the hydrogen technology value chain, including (i) the generation of hydrogen, (ii) fuel cells, (iii) storage, transportation and distribution of hydrogen, and (iv) end-users applications, in particular in the mobility sector. It is expected to contribute to the development of important technological breakthroughs, including new highly efficient electrode materials, more performant fuel cells, innovative transport technologies, among which first time roll out hydrogen mobility ones. The Commission assessed the proposed project under EU State aid rules, more specifically its Communication on Important Projects of Common European Interest. Where private initiatives supporting breakthrough innovation fail to materialise because of the significant risks such projects entail, IPCEI enable Member States to jointly fill the gap to overcome these market failures. At the same time, they ensure that the EU economy at large benefits from the investments and limit potential distortions to competition. The Commission has found that the IPCEI Hy2Tech fulfils the required conditions set out in its Communication. On this basis, the Commission concluded that the project is in line with EU State aid rules. A press release is available online.

State aid: Commission approves 2022-2027 regional aid map for Belgium

The European Commission has approved under EU State aid rules Belgium's map for granting regional aid from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2027 within the framework of the revised Regional aid Guidelines ('RAG'). The revised RAG, adopted by the Commission on 19 April 2021 and in force since 1 January 2022, enable Member States to support the least favoured European regions in catching up and to reduce disparities in terms of economic well-being, income and unemployment – cohesion objectives that are at the heart of the Union. They also provide increased possibilities for Member States to support regions facing transition or structural challenges such as depopulation, to contribute fully to the green and digital transitions. At the same time, the revised RAG maintain strong safeguards to prevent Member States from using public money to trigger the relocation of jobs from one EU Member State to another, which is essential for fair competition in the Single Market. Belgium's regional map defines the Belgian regions eligible for regional investment aid. The map also establishes the maximum aid intensities in the eligible regions. The aid intensity is the maximum amount of State aid that can be granted per beneficiary, expressed as a percentage of eligible investment costs. Under the revised RAG, regions covering 25.83% of the population of Belgium will be eligible for regional investment aid. A press release is available online.

State aid: Commission approves €475 million Dutch scheme to support event organisers affected by the coronavirus pandemic

The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €475 million Dutch scheme to support organisers of events in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. It follows other two schemes to support the same sector that the Commission approved in June 2021 (SA.62743) and in February 2022 (SA.100781) respectively. The aim of the scheme is to compensate these companies for the costs of organising events, scheduled to take place between 1 January and 30 September 2022, in case they are cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and related restrictive measures. The measure will be open to companies of all sizes active in all sectors to support their event organising activity. Eligible events are one-day or multi-day project-organised physical events, accessible to the public, of a maximum duration of 14 days. The compensation is limited to actual net costs of the cancelled events, that is the costs minus any event-related revenue and any amount obtained from insurance, litigation, arbitration or any other source. Under the scheme, the aid will take the form of direct grants and repayable advances covering up to 100% of the eligible costs. The Commission assessed the measure under Article 107(2)(b) TFEU, which enables it to approve State aid measures granted by Member States to compensate specific companies or sectors for the damages caused by exceptional occurrences, such as the coronavirus pandemic. The Commission found that the Dutch scheme will compensate damages that are directly linked to the coronavirus pandemic. It also found that the measure is proportionate, as the envisaged compensation does not exceed what is necessary to make good the damages. The Commission therefore concluded that the Dutch scheme is in line with EU State aid rules. More information on the actions taken by the Commission to address the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic can be found here. The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.103614 in the State aid register on the Commission's competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved.

State aid: Commission approves €155 million Dutch scheme for fishery sector in the context of Brexit

The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, a €155 million Dutch scheme to support the fishery sector affected by the effects of the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. The aim of the scheme is to incentivise vessel owners to cease commercial fishing activities by scrapping their vessels. The scheme will run until 31 December 2023. Under the scheme, aid will be granted to Dutch-registered vessel owners in the form of a direct grant to compensate them for ceasing their fishing activities. The aid amount will be calculated on the basis of the gross tonnage of the scrapped vessel and taking into account their lost future income. Under the scheme, the fishing capacity corresponding to a scrapped vessel will not be replaced by another vessel, and the fishing licenses and authorisations will be permanently withdrawn. The measure is planned to be financed under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, established to mitigate the economic and social impact of Brexit, subject to approval under the specific provisions governing funding from that instrument. The Commission assessed the measure under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which allows Member States to support the development of certain economic activities or regions under certain conditions, and under the Guidelines for the examination of State aid to the fishery and aquaculture sector. The Commission found that the scheme facilitates the development of an economic activity and does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest. On this basis, the Commission approved the Dutch measure under EU State aid rules. The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.64737 in the State aid register on the Commission's competition website once any confidentiality issues have been resolved.

Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of joint control of Kofax by TA Associates and Clearlake

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Kofax Parent Limited (‘Kofax') by TA Associates Management, L.P. (‘TA Associates') and Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (‘Clearlake'), all of the US.

Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of Valtris by SK Capital Partners 

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of Polymer Additives Holdings Inc. (‘Valtris') by SK Capital Partners LP (‘SK Capital'), both of the US. Valtris is a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, primarily used in the production and processing of plastics, and chemical precursors used in coatings, flavour and fragrance, personal care and pharmaceutical applications. SK Capital is a private investment firm mainly active in the sectors of specialty materials, chemicals, and pharmaceutics. The companies are active on related markets concerning several products, such as benzaldehyde, cationic dyes, optical brightening agents, photoresist polymers, benzyl chloride, dyeing auxiliaries and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns because there is a sufficient number of competitors in the markets concerned and the merged entity would not have the ability to engage in foreclosure practices. In addition, the companies' combined position in the remaining markets is very limited. The transaction was examined under the normal merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's website, in the public case register under the case number M.10725.
