Research and technological development: setting up the ENIAC Joint Undertaking, nanoelectronics

2007/0122(CNS)

PURPOSE: Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EC) No 72/2008 of 20 December 2007 setting up the ENIAC Joint Undertaking (Regulation initially published in Official Journal of the European Union L 30 of 4 February 2008).

This Regulation sets up a Joint Undertaking (the ENIAC Joint Undertaking) for a period up to 31 December 2017 for the implementation of the Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) on nanoelectronics. The JTI on nanoelectronics must create a sustainable public-private partnership and increase and leverage private and public investment in the sector of nanoelectronics in Europe. It must also achieve effective coordination and synergy of resources and funding from the 7th Framework Programme.

The corrigendum concerns:

- page 35, Annex, ‘Statutes of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking’, Article 19(3): it should read “ The annual implementation plan shall specify the plan for the execution of all the activities of the  ENIAC Joint Undertaking for a particular year, including planned calls for proposals and actions needing to be implemented through calls for tenders. …”;

- page 37, Annex, ‘Statutes of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking’, Article 23, point 3.4.2: it should read “Subject to its obligations concerning confidentiality, where a project participant is required to pass on its obligations to provide access rights, it shall give at least 45 days' prior notice to the other participants of the envisaged transfer. The participants may, by written agreement, agree on a different time limit or waive their right to prior notice in the case of transfers of ownership from one participant to a specifically identified third party”.
