Council regulation on joint undertakings and Metrology adopted
On 19 November 2021, the Council of the EU adopted a Council regulation establishing joint undertakings under the Horizon Europe programme. The joint undertakings based on Article 187 TFEU complement the existing Horizon Europe framework by addressing global challenges and priorities that require critical mass and long-term vision.
The proposal is part of a package of institutionalised European partnerships, together with a proposal for a partnership for high performance computing (EuroHPC), which was adopted on 13 July 2021, and the proposal for a European partnership on metrology, based on Article 185 TFEU, which was adopted on 18 November 2021.
