1. Crisis global
• EU GDP fell by 4% in 2009
• EU industrial production dropped back to the levels of the
  1990s
• 23 million people - or 10% of EU active population - are now
  unemployed.
• The still fragile situation of our financial system is holding
  back recovery as firms and households have difficulties to
  borrow, spend and invest.
• EU public finances have been severely affected, with deficits
  at 7% of GDP on average and debt levels at over 80% of
  GDP
• EU growth potential has been halved during the crisis.

EU 2020 Strategy: COM(2010) 2020, EUROPE 2020 A strategy
for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The EU needs to define where it wants to be by 2020:
– 75 % of the population aged 20-64 should be employed.
– 3% of the EU's GDP should be invested in R&D.
– The "20/20/20" climate/energy targets should be met
(including an increase to 30% of emissions reduction if the
conditions are right).
– The share of early school leavers should be under 10% and at
least 40% of the younger generation should have a tertiary
degree.
– 20 million less people should be at risk of poverty.

5.1. ADDRESSING FOOD
“The food and drink value chain in the EU causes 17% of
our direct greenhouse gas emissions and 28% of material
resource use... It is a major user of high-quality water,
which is essential for its success.”
The Commission has proposed in its Budget for Europe
2020 communication the measures that a reformed
Common Agricultural Policy will need to undertake to
become more resource-efficient
4. Eficiencia de Recursos

On 12 October 2011 the Commission presented a set of
legal proposals designed to make the CAP a more
effective policy for a more competitive and sustainable
agriculture and vibrant rural areas.

Following a debate in the European Parliament and the
Council, the approval of the different regulations and
implementing acts is expected by the end of 2013, with
a view to having the CAP reform in place as from 1st
January 2014
4. Eficiencia de Recursos

Water quality may be negatively affected by the presence
of pesticide residues, nutrients from fertilisers, or sediments
from soil erosion. In terms of quantity, on average, 44 % of
total water abstraction in Europe is used for agriculture

Other related initiatives of EU environmental policy:
• the Thematic Strategy on Soil Protection,
• the EU action against climate change ,
• the White Paper on adaptation to climate change ,
• and the Communication on water scarcity and droughts

   nutrients, hydrocarbons and improving the energy recovery
   from (industrial) waste water or sludge.
• Reduction of micro-pollutants and pharmaceuticals to reduce
   risks for groundwater use, agriculture use and public health.
7. MANAGEMENT MODELS AND MONITORING
• Technical models centered around ICT that manage water
   demand and supply from a range of supply sources, including
   non-traditional ones, to a range of customers.
• Targeted monitoring tailored to the needs of water
   management

European Innovation Partnership 'Agricultural Productivity
and Sustainability'
Increased agricultural productivity, output, and resource
efficiency
This area of innovation actions aims to increase agricultural
output, while ensuring the efficient and sustainable use of
resources. Low-input production systems would target the
sustainable use of nutrients (including phosphorus and nitrogen)
and pesticides, optimised use of energy, water, and genetic
resources, and lower dependence on external inputs.
Biodiversity, Ecosystem services, and soil functionality
Innovation that enhances sustainable farm management and
forestry practices benefits also eco-system services and soil
functionality. Particular emphasis should be placed on
integrated agro-ecological systems, including the
enhancement of soil biodiversity, carbon sequestration, water
retention, ecosystem stability and resilience, and pollination
functions.

EcoAP (Eco-Innovation Action Plan):
- launched by the European Commission in December 2011, is
  the logical successor to the ETAP

• Promote innovation in environmental goods, services and
  solutions.
• Promote the concept of eco-innovation in the development of
  environmental policy, environmental management and eco-
  friendly business models.
• Focus on the sustainable management of natural capital and
  natural resources, on the reduction of air, water, soil and noise
  pollution.
• Promote new environmental governance structures to bridge
  the innovation gap between business and environment.

The EU budget (including regional development, social and
cohesion funds). To achieve its objectives for Europe 2020, the
EU needs:
• a regulatory environment that ensures effective, secure
  financial markets
• innovative instruments to finance the necessary investment -
  including public-private partnerships.

These long-term growth priorities have been taken up in the
Commission's proposals for the next multi-annual financial
framework (2014-2020) of the EU.

At present, the European Regional Development Fund,
European Social Fund and Cohesion Fund together account
for more than one third of the EU's overall budget.
