Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative activities; co-investment in risk capital funds that provide equity also for companies investing in eco-innovation; fostering eco-innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing innovative business services, facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-innovation in fields such as environmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and services, taking into account their whole life cycle. The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake. The implemented measures shall be, in particular:
networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,
market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,
policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,
information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,
support to joint actions of Member States or regions,
and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation framework programme.

The programme Marco Polo II proposes five kinds of measures to achieve its objectives:
modal transfer actions, to transfer, in the short term, an important share of road traffic to other less saturated transport modes,
catalyst actions, that enable structural market barriers to be overcome through the implementation of new innovative services,
common learning actions, with a view to improving cooperation, share of know-how and knowledge development in the logistics industry,
actions to provide high-quality logistic services based on short sea shipping, that will be comparable to motorways and therefore called motorways of the sea,
traffic avoidance actions, that will involve an active role for manufacturing industry and logistics systems within one coherent strategy to develop sustainable operations.
The transport infrastructure networks of the newest Member States are not at the moment adequate to serve the increased post-enlargement trade flows; in such cases intermodal transport solutions constitute the best response and thus there is huge scope for Marco Polo II as a continuation and strengthening of the successful Marco Polo I programme. The support for commercial action in the market for freight transport services is different from the support given through research and development programmes and the trans-European network programme. Marco Polo II will foster modal shift projects in all segments of the freight market, not only in combined transport. To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.
