TITLE 01

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) both inside and outside the European Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community institutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the EIB, EIF and EBRD and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial assistance to third countries).

The main objective for 2007 is to strengthen economic governance in the Union aimed at raising the contribution of public finances and other economic policies to growth and employment in line with the Lisbon Strategy, in addition to securing the core budgetary objectives of sound and stable public finances, by implementing the revised Stability and Growth Pact. Integration of the new Member States in EMU will continue in 2007, in the expectation that some of them will participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) and, subsequently, in the euro zone. Furthermore, the full integration of Bulgaria and Romania into the Community economic policy coordination framework is to be further corroborated after their accession in 2007. Also, in 2007, new financial instruments will be implemented, notably for TEN-transport and RTD projects and SMEs, in order to support the Lisbon Strategy and the European Initiative for Growth.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the provision of paid-up shares of the capital subscribed by the European Community.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) was created in 1994. Its founder members are the European Community, represented by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a number of financial institutions. The Community membership to the EIF is determined by Council Decision 94/375/EC.

The EIF is expected to exhaust its own resources by mid-2007 and will be unable to continue its own resources operations. Therefore, it has proposed to its Board of Directors to increase the subscribed capital up to 50 % in nominal terms.

Article 3 of Council Decision 94/375/EC specifies that the position of the Community on a possible capital increase in the capital of the EIF and on its participation in that increase shall be decided unanimously by the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament. The Commission has submitted a proposal for a Council Decision on Community participation in the capital increase of the EIF, which could possibly be adopted by the Council early 2007. Consequently, the purpose of the proposal for a Council Decision is to approve Community participation in the 50 % increase in the nominal capital of EIF. It will be proposed to maintain the level of the Community participation at 30 % by 2010.

The intention is to increase the total subscribed share capital from EUR 2 billion to EUR 3 billion and, maintaining the current paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 million to EUR 600 million. The capital increase of the EIF was endorsed within the framework of EIB Group's contribution to growth and jobs which was welcomed by the Ecofin of 14 March 2006 and European Council of 23 and 24 March 2006.

Community participation in the capital increase will take place in four tranches starting in 2007.

Any revenue from dividends paid by the European Investment Fund, entered in article 8 5 0 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item, in accordance with article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Council Decision 94/375/EC of 6 June 1994 on Community membership of the European Investment Fund (OJ L 173, 7.7.1994, p. 12) and the forthcoming Council Decision on the capital increase of the EIF and the Community participation in it. This decision will possibly be adopted in the course of 2007 (proposal COM(2006) 621 final).

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repayment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation, as amended.

Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

Remarks

The action taken by the Community pursuant to Article 158 of the Treaty shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Community in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Community. This action shall be taken with the aid of the Funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall be aimed at reducing the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, at the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring, and at the ageing of the population.

The action taken under the Funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Community’s priorities in favour of sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness and employment, and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.

The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be aimed at speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, the adaptability to economic and social changes, the protection and improvement of the environment as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the priority of the Funds.

TITLE 09

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

Overall objectives

The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed Lisbon strategy.

As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the important objectives are as follows: to conclude the review of the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance.

In the context of the i2010 Content and services activity, the new Competitiveness and innovation programme aims at ensuring the best use and wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and at boosting competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments.

As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information society and media policy area are concerned, information and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim at stepping up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improving its impact on the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs.

The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross discipline services to the research communities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT based resources to virtual communities

In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audio-visual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating synergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP and maritime affairs (including conservation of fisheries resources, control and dialogue with the fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF).

Sixty per cent of appropriations is devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of shared management.

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances, which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational programmes of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) convergence objective for the programming period 2007 to 2013.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts, as well as to the sustainable development of the fishing zones.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Legal basis

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repayment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation will continue until 2010, in accordance with the conclusions of the Brussels European Council of 15 and 16 December 2005.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

This appropriation is also intended to co-finance measures to eliminate stockpiles of obsolete pesticides.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this budget heading, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts.

To the appropriations entered in this item 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 under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution of candidate countries as well as of western Balkan countries and/or the Swiss Confederation participating in Community programmes, entered under Item 6 0 3 1 and/or under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may be used for additional expenditure, applying the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

In addition, health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions. For consumers’ protection there are two specific objectives:

Objective 2: to ensure effective application of consumer protection rules notably through enforcement cooperation, information, education and redress.

The consumer programme aims at consolidating and expanding the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programme. It expands considerably Community activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, market surveillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

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 under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Proposals on new health and consumer protection programmes 2007-2013 were adopted by the Commission on 24 May 2006.

The Commission proposes the following objectives common to health and consumer protection:

| — | to protect citizens from risks and threats which are beyond the control of individuals and that cannot be effectively tackled by individual Member States, |
| --- | --- |

| --- | --- |

—

to mainstream health and consumer policy objectives across all Community policies.

In addition, Health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions.

Health objectives:

| — | to improve information on and knowledge of health: the objective is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe, |
| --- | --- |

| --- | --- |

—

to promote good health and prevent disease through action on health determinants to improve prosperity and solidarity.

For 2007 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme 2007 to 2013 will focus on three pillars, where European level action is essential:

(1) Health information

The objective of this pillar is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe which is necessary to provide a solid foundation for health policy making and is also needed by professionals for their work and by citizens to enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices.

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

An effective rapid response capability is needed to avoid threats to public health, for example arising from communicable diseases or chemical or biological attacks. Tackling such threats need to be coordinated effectively at EU level. The integration of the EU based on the principle of free movement increases the need for vigilance, to respond to major cross-border health threats such as avian flu, or bioterrorism.

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

The overall objective is to contribute to EU prosperity by fostering healthy ageing and bridging inequalities as well as to enhance solidarity between national health systems

Actions would include initiatives to increase healthy life years and promote healthy ageing; explore health’s impact on productivity and labour participation; support the reduction of inequalities between Member States and investment in health, thus contributing to the Lisbon agenda, and to productivity and growth. Actions would also enhance solidarity between health systems, including cooperation on shared challenges, thus facilitating the development of a Community framework for safe, high-quality and efficient health services.

Actions would further include the promotion of health by tackling environmental, addiction and lifestyle determinants.

Non-governmental organisations are key players in the implementation of the programme. Therefore, they should be allocated adequate funds.

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 under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Decision No ......... of the European Parliament and of the Council of ......... establishing a second programme of Community action in the field of health (.........-2013) (OJ L .........).

Reference acts

Amended proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council, submitted by the Commission on 24 May 2006, establishing a second programme of Community action in the field of Health and consumer protection 2007 to 2013 (COM(2006) 234 final).

TITLE 19

TITLE 21

DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC (ACP) STATES

Overall objectives

The policy area covers a wide range of activities from political relations and policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation programmes. It includes both budgetary appropriations under Heading 4 of the financial framework and funds under the various European Development Funds (EDF) for the African, Caribbean and Pacific States as well as the overseas countries and territories.

The amount of the EDF varies from year to year due to the five-year implementation cycle, and corresponds to a yearly average of approximately EUR 2 950 million in commitment appropriations. This is equivalent to about 55 % of total appropriations under Heading 4.

This implies that significant human resources, which are employed to implement the EDF and the complex operations under the Cotonou Agreement, are to be taken into account in the overall human resources requirements in this policy area.

Former Articles 21 04 01, 21 04 02 and 21 04 03

This appropriation is intended to promote and implement the policy applicable to the Community’s relations with developing countries and with Europe’s neighbours on environment and sustainable management of natural resources, including energy, promote coherence with other Community policies and conduct forward studies to these ends.

Financial support is provided to projects within five priority areas: (1) working upstream on MDG7: promoting environmental sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of EU initiatives and internationally agreed commitments; (3) better integration by the EU (4) strengthening environmental governance and EU leadership; and (5) support for sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions.

These appropriations will also cover the Community contribution to the Global Energy Efficeincy and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF). The objective of GEEREF is to mobilise public and private finance to help solving the financing grid-lock for economic renewable energy projects and businesses in developing countries and (non-EU) economies in transition.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). However, in line with article 38 of the DCI Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 8 % of this programme is foreseen for such countries.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41).

This chapter covers macro-economic statistics, which are used for economic analysis and monetary policy in the context of the Lisbon agenda, as well as for administrative and budgetary purposes. Work will continue in order to validate the reliability, comparability and exhaustiveness of the national accounts data — in particular gross national income.

The development of business statistics will continue, in order to better meet community policies (quality improvement and better regulation).

The statistical implications of the Stability and growth pact will continue to be a major challenge.
