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.

After a wide-ranging public debate the Commission presented on 18 November 2010 a Communication on "The CAP towards 2020", which outlines options for the future CAP and launched the debate with the other institutions and with stakeholders.
4. Eficiencia de Recursos Common Agricultural Policy Reform 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 Common Agricultural Policy Reform 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

5. Innovación European Innovation Partnership on Water 1. WATER – ENERGY NEXUS • The potential energy efficiency gains resulting from water efficiency measures 4. WATER REUSE AND RECYCLING • Use of treated wastewater for functional water supply (e.g. pre-treated wastewater supply with specific nutrients kept in it for supply to agricultural customers); • Alternative (non-traditional) treated wastewater for industrial customers (e.g. for specific cooling and cleaning processes); • Re-use between sectors; • Efficiency enhancement in water management;
5. Innovación European Innovation Partnership on Water 5. WATER AND WASTE WATER TREATMENT • Recovery of waste water resources , primarily the recovery of 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
5. Innovación 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.
5. Innovación 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.

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.
