A.INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET
INTRODUCTION
The general budget of the European Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure
deemed necessary for the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.
The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of
account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.
— The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all Community revenue and expenditure and that of the European
Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.
— The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment
appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.
— The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year:
borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.
— In accordance with the principle of unit of account , the budget is drawn up and implemented in euro and the accounts shall be presented in
euro.
— The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of
revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. All revenue and expenditure is entered in full in the budget withoutany adjustment against each other.
— The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to
prevent any confusion between appropriations.
— The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
— The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on implementation of the budget
and the accounts.
The 2004 budget differs from previous budgets in one respect.
The budget of the European Union will be examined for the first time in its new activity-based structure.The expenditure authorised by the present budget for the current 15 Member States totals EUR 99 528,887 million in commitment appro-
priations and EUR 94 618,7 47 million in payment appropriations, representing a rate of change of – 0,28 % and + 2,26 % respectively bycomparison with the 2003 budget.
Budgetary revenue for the 15 Member States totals EUR 94 618,7 47 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3030 % whilst
that for the GNI resource is 0,7168 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 11,68 % ofthe financing of the budget for 2004, the VAT resource accounts for 14,08 % and the GNI resource for 73,39 %. Miscellaneous revenue forthis financial year is estimated at EUR 805,6 million.
The own resources needed to finance the 2004 budget for the 15 Member States account for 0,97 % of the Member States’ total gross
national income (GNI), thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 % of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of CouncilDecision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7 .10.2000,p. 42).

Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution.
Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany:Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = [Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)] x 1/4 x United Kingdom

Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (OJ L 178, 30.6.2001,
p. 1).
Continuation of the existing production quota arrangements for sugar requires that similar arrangements be applied to the production of
inulin syrup, a direct substitute for isoglucose and liquid sugar, to prevent this product from disturbing a market which, because of thesurplus, could further increase the export costs of sugar and isoglucose producers alone.
The common organisation of the market in sugar provides that inulin syrup producers pay basic and B production levies and where neces-
sary the additional levy covering market support expenditure.

Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources
(OJ L 253, 7 .10.2000, p. 42), and in particular Article 2(3) and Article 10(1) and (2)(c) thereof.
The new Decision on the system of own resources provides for the Member States to retain, by way of collection costs, 25 % of the amounts
of traditional own resources established after 31 December 2000, except for amounts which should have been made available before28 February 2001, which are still subject to the retention of 10 % (Article 10(2)(c) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom).
In view of the fact that the last Member States ratified the new Decision on 5 February 2002, that the Decision entered into force on 1 March
2002 and that the budget year 2001 is closed, account must be taken of the retroactive effects on the collection costs incurred by theMember States during the period from March 2001 to December 2001 (since the amounts in question were paid after deducting 10 %).
This item is therefore intended to cover the repayment to the Member States of the difference between the retention rates applied to the
recovery of traditional own resources under the old Decision and the new Decision. The amounts entered in supplementary and amendingbudget No 2/2002 have been adjusted on the basis of the implementation figures in the 2001 revenue and expenditure account and amend-ing budget No 3/2002.

COURT OF AUDITORS
CHAPTER 2 6 — STUDIES, SURVEYS AND CONSULTATION (cont’d)
260 (cont’d)
As part of its audit work, the Court of Auditors has to call on outside experts for technical studies and analyses (chemical, physical and
statistical). The need for appropriations to cover the cost of studies contracted out to experts is justified by the specialised and sometimesunforeseeable nature of the studies in question. Without such appropriations, the Court of Auditors could be seriously hampered in perform-ing its duties and its independence could be jeopardised.
This appropriation also includes the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by independent auditors whose report is published
in the Official Journal of the European Union.

On 2 July 2002, the Commission adopted a communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee
and the Committee of the Regions on an information and communication strategy for the European Union (COM(2002) 350 final). Thiscommunication proposes an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for thedevelopment of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.
The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down
common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the centraland decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the followingyears based on a report drawn up by the Commission.
In addition, the Commission will report quarterly to the European Parliament’s relevant committee on the implementation of the pro-
gramme and on planning for the coming year.

Remarks
This article is intended to finance measures to facilitate the transition between the activities traditionally financed from the ECSC budget and
the programmes existing in the general budget, particularly the Structural Funds and research. It is intended, in particular, to supportmeasures for which, on account of their specificity, there is as yet no corresponding item in Community programmes.
It has the aim of promoting, particularly by means of European information centres or information outlets, the establishment of innovative
businesses (SMEs) linked to the industrial conversion of the coal and steel industries (business incubators, provision of industrial tools andfinancing facilities for employees undergoing retraining), particularly in the fields of the environment and health and safety at work.
It is also intended to promote initiatives, if possible pursued in a bipartite context (involving employers and employees), in the fields of
information, training and stimulation in businesses, especially with regard to the adjustment of working times resulting from restructuring.
In selecting the beneficiaries of these projects, the Commission will assign priority to regions where industrial restructuring is taking place in
the coal and steel industries, including in the candidate countries.

In this process, projects are intended to support microenterprises and SMEs in applying theconcept developed by and for large firms, tailoring it to their circumstances. The Commission set out the concept in its communicationsCOM(2002) 347 ‘Corporate social responsibility: a business contribution to sustainable development’ and COM(2001) 366 ‘Promoting aEuropean framework for corporate social responsibility’.
This appropriation is to be made available for the following measures:— a best-practices analysis of microenterprises and SMEs already practising corporate social responsibility on a voluntary basis; the analysis
should also extend to the accession countries,
— development of possible tools to support firms when carrying out relevant activities,— providing microenterprises and SMEs with the most effective tools and practices and ensuring that the concept is implemented in a
coherent fashion, possibly, for instance, on the basis of a cross-Europe campaign,
— holding both regional and national events involving the relevant representative bodies and raising awareness of corporate social respon-
sibility.
Further objectives to be realised in this connection are:— to identify not only the best tools, but also what will motivate and encourage firms to exhibit social responsibility on a voluntary basis
and to a greater extent than is necessary in law,
— to investigate the possible resulting competitive benefits,— to ensure that SMEs take a coherent and effective approach, to build up and foster corporate social responsibility management skills, and
optimise the exchange of experience and successful methods.

Remarks
Community budget appropriations under this preparatory action can be used to finance technical assistance, in particular institution-
building measures and training. Special attention should be given to cross-border cooperation between financial institutions and SMEs incurrent and new Member States, candidate countries and countries bordering on the enlarged Union. The actions should also support thecreation of partnerships and networks between local and regional banks, chambers of commerce, regional development agencies and otherlocal and regional authorities involved in financing SMEs. Coordination with projects financed by the Phare, Tacis, CARDS and MEDAprogrammes is encouraged.
With coordination by the Commission, the specific actions can be managed by the following international financial institutions (IFIs) pursu-
ant to Article 54 of the Financial Regulation: the EIB, the EIF, the EBRD, and the Council of Europe Development Bank in cooperation withthe Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau. The actions financed by the Community can only be linked to loans and guarantees issued by those IFIs.The credit amounts eligible for technical assistance under this preparatory action should accompany loans for small enterprises, and prefer-ence should be given to microcredits for new or existing small enterprises.
The Community contribution will be split as a result of negotiations with the listed IFIs and is not subject to a call for tenders or call for
proposals.
When the listed IFIs managing the actions choose the partner credit institutions in Member States, preference should be given to regionally
based credit institutions with close business links to small enterprises. Priority should be given to actions in the new Member States.

Remarks
This appropriation is only intended to cover the Agency’s operating expenditure relating to the work programme (Title 3).During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is submitted, the
Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the budget of the agencies, in particular concerning theestablishment plans published in the budget. Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on transparency set out in the Interinsti-tutional Declaration of 17 November 1 995 and implemented in the form of a code of conduct agreed by Parliament, the Commission andthe agencies.
In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six), the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large proportion of the
margin in heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.
Under the new Financial Regulation (Article 1 85) and the new corresponding articles of the framework regulation for each of the bodies set
up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.
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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1 61EN

COMPETITION
Overall objectives
The objective of the Commission in this area is to enforce the competition rules of the Community Treaties in order to ensure that competition in the
European Union market is not distorted, thereby contributing to the welfare of consumers and the competitiveness of the European economy.
Competition policy aims at protecting consumer welfare and at ensuring a level playing field for companies competing in the market, in particular by
combating obstacles to parallel trade which distort the functioning of the internal market. Undistorted competition is also a key dimension of the en large-
ment process and a factor in Europe’s global competitiveness. The common currency calls for an even greater role for competition policy in order tofurther dynamically integrate markets. Hence, competition policy, including merger control, cartel enforcement, enforcement of the antitrust ru les, market
liberalisation, State aid control and international cooperation between competition authorities is one of the Commission’s key tasks under the Tre aty.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover measures under the EQUAL Community initiative relating to transnational cooperation towards the
promotion of new practices for combating discrimination and inequality of all kinds on the labour market.
An indicative amount representing a maximum of 2 % of the budget allocation for this initiative will be reserved for financing technical
assistance. Where such technical assistance measures are carried out at the initiative of the Commission, up to 100 % of their total cost canbe financed.
Under Article 3 of the EC Treaty, in defining and implementing other Community policies the Community is to aim to eliminate inequalities,
and to promote equality, between men and women.
Structural Fund appropriations can therefore be used only if the measures which they finance accord with the provisions of the Treaties and
with the legal acts adopted pursuant to the Treaties, particularly those concerning environmental protection and equality between men andwomen.
A significant part of this appropriation will be allocated to combating discrimination against women with regard to access to the labour
market.

The purpose of this appropriation, for completion of the internal market and implementation of the European employment strategy, is to
cover the implementation and operation of the EURES network.
This network is aimed at developing cooperation between the Commission and the Member States, and in particular their employment
services, with a view to:
— the provision of placement, advice and information services for workers as regards employment in another Member State and for
employers wishing to recruit in another Member State,
— the exchange of job vacancies and applications at Community level and across borders,— the exchange of information between Member States concerning labour-market trends and living and working conditions.The EURES network may include special cooperation and service structures, at the initiative of border regions.The network will ensure that the principle of freedom of movement is respected and that it operates in a transparent and non-discriminatory
fashion, with particular regard to access to employment for Community nationals in a country other than that of their origin.
This appropriation covers measures that are essential to the smooth running of the EURES network, in particular the following support
measures:
— subsidies for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners,— initial and further training of ‘EURES advisers’, especially of those in the candidate countries, and of east European ‘Euro advisers’, in the
Member States,
— contacts between the ‘EURES advisers’, and cooperation between government employment services, including those of candidate coun-
tries,
— promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,— development of multilingual computerised systems consisting of the two databases (‘job vacancies and applications’ and ‘living and
working conditions’), as well as maintenance and expansion of an Internet site, including preparation of government employment ser-vices in the candidate countries for inclusion in such databases,
— development of special structures for cooperation and services in border areas, pursuant to Article 17(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1 612/68,
as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2434/92,Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/21 6EN

subsidies to promote social dialogue at cross-industry and sectoral level in accordance with Articles 138 and 139 of the EC Treaty. It willtherefore finance consultations, meetings, negotiations and other measures designed to achieve the above objectives.
Furthermore, and as its name suggests, this appropriation may cover support for actions in the field of industrial relations, in particular
those aiming to develop expertise and exchanges of information on a European basis. These include measures associated with the Commis-sion Green Paper, ‘Promoting a European framework for corporate social responsibility’ (COM(2001) 366 final), and the Commission com-munication entitled: ‘Corporate social responsibility: a business contribution to sustainable development’ (COM(2002) 347 final).
It also covers measures to promote the actions set out in the Commission communication, ‘On a framework for the promotion of employee
financial participation’ (COM(2002) 364 final).
Pilot projects intended to develop codes of conduct and social labels in order to guarantee respect for fundamental social and employment
rights, with the participation of companies, trade unions and NGOs that defend fundamental social rights will also be eligible.
This appropriation may also cover funding of measures involving representatives of the social partners in the candidate countries. It is also
intended to promote equal participation of women in the decision-making bodies of both trade unions and employers’ organisations. Theselast two components are of a horizontal nature.
On the basis of these objectives, four subprogrammes have been defined:— support for European social dialogue,— encouragement of the financial participation of workers,— improvement of expertise in industrial relations,— corporate social responsibility, codes of conduct and fundamental social rights..Task resulting from specific powers directly conferred on the Commission by the Treaty establishing the European Community pursuant to

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to finance measures for developing and exchanging effective good practice examples that reduce safety and
health risks and that meet the relevant legislative requirements established by European directives and national legislation and guidance.
The specific objectives of the programme are:— to put into practice the general principle that SMEs require special attention and support in their efforts to combat health and safety risks
and to demonstrate that a small business initiative can be of value and be organised cost-efficiently,
— to prove that the heavy burden borne by workers and their families as well as the considerable economic consequences for the compa-
nies and the whole European economy can be reduced through targeted preventive efforts,
— to demonstrate to SMEs that ‘good safety and health is good business’,— to contribute to the reduction of the number of work-related accidents in SMEs,— to facilitate the exchange of efficient good practices across Europe,— to prepare the specific programme promoting the use of rules on health and safety at work in SMEs which must be drawn up in 2002
according to the European social policy agenda approved by the Nice European Council.
With regard to eligibility, this appropriation is intended to support individual projects which are either submitted by SMEs themselves or
which are aimed at SMEs’ specific needs. Eligible project activities include: special risk assessment and evaluation activities, safety audits inthe workplace, prevention of work-related stress (including psychosocial factors), implementation of controls (preferably sector specific),training of managers, workers and safety representatives, awareness-raising through information/promotion activities, production of infor-mation material intended to raise awareness at the workplace, encouragement of the participation of workers and/or their representativesand SME networks to share ideas or experiences.

Remarks
Pursuant to Article 1 45 of the EC Treaty, the European Parliament can ask the Commission to draw up reports on problems concerning the
social situation. The Commission is called on to produce each year a report on the social situation, including specific chapters on demo-graphic trends (especially their interaction with the labour market and social protection).
In particular, the following aims will be pursued:— analysis of the impact of population ageing in the framework of a society for all ages, in terms of trends in needs, behaviour and flanking
policies, including research on elderly minorities/migrants, as well as on ageing and ethnicity,
— analysis of the impact of demographic change on EU and Member State policies, measures and programmes, and formulation of recom-
mendations for adjustments to economic and other policies, measures and programmes at European and national level in order toprevent the ageing of society from having a negative impact,
— analysis of the situation of children and of their protection from the potential risks to which they are exposed, and analysis of the subject
of children, single parents and social exclusion,
— analysis of the links between illiteracy and social exclusion,— analysis of the links between the family unit and demographic trends; in particular, analysis of the links between measures adopted to
promote the family and their impact at social and fiscal levels,
— identification of the existing relations between technological development (impact on communication technologies, geographical and
occupational mobility) and the consequences for households and society in general,
— analysis of trends in social objectives (in terms of safeguarding acquired rights or extending them) regarding both goods and services,
taking account of demographic trends and redefinition of the relationships between generations,
— development of appropriate methodological tools (sets of social indicators, simulation techniques, etc.), so as to underpin an annual
report on social security with a solid quantitative and scientific foundation,
— the taking account of family life and childhood in the implementation of relevant Community policies, such as the free movement of
persons and equality between men and women.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/240EN

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the Community action programme to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat
social exclusion. This multiannual programme lasting five years was adopted on 7 December 2001 and came into force on 12 January 2002.
Article 137(2), third paragraph, of the Treaty establishing the European Community includes provisions permitting the Community to adopt
measures designed to encourage cooperation between Member States in order to combat social exclusion. The Lisbon European Councilconcluded that ‘policies for combating social exclusion should be based on an open method of coordination combining national action plansand an initiative for cooperation in this field’. Reinforcing the commitments made at the Lisbon European Council, the Nice EuropeanCouncil adopted appropriate objectives to combat social exclusion and eliminate poverty, on the basis of which the Member States werecalled upon to draw up priorities and submit a two-year national action plan in June 2001. These objectives reflect the following fourthemes:
— promoting participation in employment and access for all to resources, rights, goods and services,— preventing exclusion,— helping the most vulnerable,— mobilising all those involved.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/241EN

As adopted, the programme comprises three strands:
— a first strand will concentrate on analysing the characteristics, the processes, the reasons for and the evolution of social exclusion. This
strand will help Member States develop a common methodology and statistics,
— a second strand will focus more directly on promoting cooperation and the exchange of information and good practices at transnational
level and on promoting innovative projects with European added value. This strand also supports the mutual learning process betweenMember States, in the context of their national action plans, in particular via the peer review method. Under the open coordinationmethod on social exclusion, special attention will be paid in 2003 to the process of examining the implementation of the national actionplans against poverty and exclusion and the elaboration of a joint report,
— a third strand will promote the participation of the various stakeholders and to support networking at EU level. This strand includes
support to European networks of NGOs and voluntary associations committed to the fight against social exclusion and poverty. It willalso cover part of the funding for the operating expenses of the Platform of European Social NGOs. The organisation of an annual roundtable on social exclusion and other events organised by the Presidency of the European Union in this field should be funded under thisstrand.
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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks
Under the multiannual action programme, this appropriation is intended to finance measures to promote information exchange and coop-
eration, improve knowledge of best practices and innovative approaches and assess the experience gained in combating and/or preventingdiscrimination based on the grounds referred to in Article 13 of the Treaty.
In the interests of a coherent framework for, and a mainstreaming approach to combating discrimination, the measures should usually focus
on more than one of the factors involved in discrimination as referred to in Article 13 of the EC Treaty. However, where insufficient commonground between these factors exists, it will be possible to fund projects which concentrate on one form of discrimination as referred to inArticle 13. The programme supports measures to prevent and combat discrimination on grounds of racial and ethnic origin, religion andbelief, disability, age and sexual orientation. In accordance with the Council Decision, this appropriation is intended to finance actions underthree strands:
— analysis of factors related to discrimination, including through studies and the development of qualitative and quantitative indicators and
benchmarks, in accordance with national law and practices, and the evaluation of anti-discrimination legislation and practice, with aview to assessing its effectiveness and impact, with effective dissemination of the results,
— transnational cooperation and the promotion of networking at European level between partners active in the prevention of, and the fight
against, discrimination, including non-governmental organisations,Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/244EN

the programme, in particular through communications, publications, campaigns and events.
Part of this appropriation is intended to support core funding for NGOs and representative European networks participating in combating
and preventing discrimination in the Community and Member States and to foster civil dialogue in this area.

TITLE 05
AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT
Overall objectives
The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair sta ndard of living in
the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.
The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently as part of Agenda 2000. The key aim of that reform was to shift the s lant
of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricul tural activity,
the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use
of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment an d rural
heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.
In 2004, priorities similar to 2003 will be pursued, in particular as regards the mid-term review of the CAP, the WTO negotiations and the completion of material
preparations for enlargement (preparation of the operational application of the acquis, pre-negotiation of rural development programmes and inte nsive contacts
with national administrations). These priorities are in addition to the regular activities of CAP management.

Remarks
Since expenditure on staff and buildings is included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01 and XX 01 03 01, the Commissionsubsidy, together with the Agency’s own revenue, is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Agency in its activities.
At its 23rd session on 1 and 2 February 1960, the Euratom Council proposed unanimously that the Commission postpone not only the
levying of the charge (intended to cover the operating expenditure of the Euratom Supply Agency) but also the actual introduction of the saidcharge. Since then a subsidy has been included in the budget to balance the revenue side against the Agency expenditure figures shown in thestatement of revenue and expenditure.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to international road
haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo’. The alternatives considered are short-sea shipping, rail and inland waterway.
The main objective of the programme is to help shift an amount of cargo corresponding to the anticipated growth of international road
haulage to other modes.
Three types of action which complement each other are proposed:— start-up support for new non-road freight transport services, which should be viable in the mid-term (‘modal shift actions’),— support for launching freight services or facilities of strategic European interest (‘catalyst actions’),— stimulating cooperative behaviour in the freight logistics market (‘common learning actions’).The Marco Polo programme will also be able to fund actions involving countries which are candidates for accession to the European Union.This appropriation also covers dissemination activities and accompanying measures.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 will foster modal shift projects in all segments of thefreight market, not only in combined transport.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/408EN

Remarks
This appropriation is for the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN), which is held to be a key policy
for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 154 to 156 of the Treaty establishing theEuropean Community). This contribution takes the form of co-financing of projects of common interest identified in the Communityguidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (Decision No 1 692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of theCouncil).
The aim is:— to help define projects of common interest,— to speed up the Member States’ realisation of trans-European transport network projects of common interest,— to overcome the financial obstacles which may hamper the start-up phase of a project, particularly by means of feasibility studies,— to encourage the participation of private capital in project funding, as well as public/private partnerships,— to ensure better financial arrangements for projects, minimising the use of public funding, thanks to flexible means of intervention.Since 2001, the bulk of Community funding has been covered by a multiannual programme established by the Commission. The purpose of
the programme is the sound and rational establishment of the level of expenditure from the trans-European network budget over the period2001 to 2006. It was inspired by the earlier indicative multiannual programme (IMP) covering the period 1 996 to 1 999 and will give projectpromoters an assurance of Community support during the period in question, particularly where projects are undertaken in the form ofpublic/private partnerships.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/41 4EN
COMMISSION
TITLE 06 — ENERGY AND TRANSPORT
CHAPTER 06 03 — TRANS-EUROPEAN NETWORKS (cont’d)

The programme divides into three specific actions.
First specific actionAnnex V to Decision No 1 692/96/EC lists the 1 4 projects approved by the Essen European Council in 1 994. Most of these projects are now
reaching the construction phase. In a small number of cases, technical studies are to be pursued before a decision is taken on construction.
Second specific action: programme for the Galileo satellite navigation systemThe Galileo satellite radio-navigation system has entered its second (development and validation) phase covering the period 2001 to 2005. It
comprises the development and validation of the satellites and ground-control stations and the validation of the system ‘in orbit’.
Third specific actionOther projects identified in the context of the guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, such as the elimina-
tion of bottlenecks in the rail network and cross-border projects, as well as other traffic management projects, including ‘intelligent’ trans-port systems (ITS) in the road and air sectors, receive Community support.
By concentrating on the 1 4 projects approved at Essen and attaching priority to the elimination of bottlenecks in the rail network, the IMP
provides particular support to the rail sector (63,5 % of the overall amount included in the programme). Full account is thus being taken ofthe provision in Regulation (EC) No 1 655/1 999 of the European Parliament and of the Council that rail projects, including combinedtransport, should receive at least 55 % of the TEN budget.
According to the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/95,
additional commitment appropriations totalling EUR 100 000 000 will be allocated to TEN-T projects aimed at removing bottlenecks atborders with the candidate countries over the period 2003 to 2006 and cross-border rail bottlenecks and/or projects which concern missinglinks located in areas where natural barriers represent obstacles to the free movement of goods and passengers. To this should be added EUR50 000 000 to be reallocated within the overall allocation for TEN-T for the same period.

The actions and measures are structured in three specific fields:
— improvement of energy efficiency and demand management, in particular in the construction sector and industry, including the prepara-
tion and application of legislative measures (SA VE),
— promotion of new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production and their integration into the urban
environment, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (Altener),
— support for initiatives relating to the energy aspects of transport, the diversification of fuels and the promotion of renewable fuels and
energy efficiency in transport, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (STEER).
As a general rule, the funding may not exceed 50 % of the total cost of the action or measure, the rest being covered either by public or
private funds or a combination of the two.
The funding may, however, cover all the cost of some actions, such as studies and other actions to prepare, supplement, implement and
evaluate the impact of Community strategy and policy measures and any measures proposed by the Commission to encourage exchanges ofexperience and know-how to improve the coordination between Community, national, international and other initiatives.
All costs relating to actions and measures undertaken solely on the Commission’s initiative will be borne by the Community.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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Articl e630o ft h es t a t ement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-
dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks
This appropriation covers expenditure on physical and chemical inspections of nuclear materials, and in particular:— sampling, transport and analysis, including high performance trace analysis (HPTA),— procurement and maintenance of specific apparatus and equipment,— execution of technical and specific projects,— transport of equipment, apparatus and radioactive sources,— procurement or leasing of own means of transport,— continued development of the monitoring system. This is an important stage in the general maintenance strategy, in order to minimise
the effect of subsequent follow-up work (inspections and inventory re-establishment).
These technical means are essential in order:
— to verify the exactitude of operators’ declarations,— not to lose the continuity of information about nuclear materials subject to control,— to enable the Commission to draw conclusions from its controls as quickly as possible on the basis of proven techniques,— to enable the Commission to fulfil its obligations under the additional protocols with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the
new regulation in preparation which will replace Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/7 6.
This appropriation also covers an amount of the order of EUR 25 000 advanced to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Revenue
arising from the repayment of this sum by the Agency, entered in Articl e616o ft h es t a t ement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover financial contributions to technical assistance projects in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation
(EC) No 1 655/2000 pertaining to the third thematic component of LIFE III, ‘LIFE-Third countries’. Actions covered will support the establish-ment of capacities and administrative structures needed in the environmental sector in third countries. The overall financial framework forthis multiannual programme is set at EUR 640 million, of which allocation 6 % is provided for LIFE-Third countries (EUR 38,4 million). Theallocation of available appropriations for accompanying measures is limited to 5 %. The duration of the programme is four years (2001 to2004).
The countries eligible to participate in the LIFE-Third countries programme are Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus,
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the Baltic shoreline of Russia(Kaliningrad and St Petersburg regions).
The European Union and bordering countries acting together to address environmental problems will be far more effective than individual
national actions; many such issues being of a transnational nature. The activities undertaken aim at contributing to the development andstrengthening of national environmental policies and action programmes with the objective of increasing environmental protection incountries bordering on the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea, other than candidate central and east European countries who have signedassociation agreements with the European Union.
Support to actions promoting cooperation and coordination between several countries (European Union and bordering countries) is particu-
larly targeted by the multiannual programme.
Irrespective of the beneficiary, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.Legal basisRegulation (EC) No 1 655/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 concerning the Financial Instrument for the

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover a subsidy to the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen. The mission of the Agency is to
provide the Community and the Member States with objective, reliable and comparable information on the environment at European level,thus enabling them to take the requisite measures to protect the environment, to assess the results of such measures and to inform thepublic.
The key challenges of the Agency are to:— further develop and maintain Eionet (the European environment information observation network),— build the European Reference Centre for Environmental Information,— develop an integrated monitoring-to-reporting process,— identify emerging issues of environmental importance,— directly support the framing and development of environmental policies,— support the implementation and evaluation of environmental policies, including assessment of effectiveness and progress with integra-
tion of environment into sectoral policies,
— support the environment chapter on the enlargement process: increasing geographical coverage and cooperation in Europe.Part of the appropriations should be aimed at developing environmental indicators to be used in the context of the CAP , especially those
related to reinforced cross-compliance rules. Seminars with environmental, agricultural, and other organisations, as well as regional andnational governments involved, should be arranged to enhance practicality and operability of the indicators. The importance for develop-ment of such indicators has been stressed in the Commission Declaration in Annex 1A to the Council compromise on CAP reform (10961/03,30 June 2003)Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/487EN

The research activities will cover the following aspects:— application-oriented genomic approaches to medical knowledge and technologies: the strategic objective of this line of action is to
develop improved strategies for the prevention and management, using also advanced technologies for health, of human disease and forliving and ageing healthily. It will concentrate exclusively on integrating a genomic approach through all relevant organisms into moreestablished medical approaches for investigating disease and health determinants. The emphasis will be on translational research aimed atbringing basic knowledge through to clinical application,
— combating cancer: the objective is to combat cancer by developing improved patient-oriented strategies, from prevention to more effec-
tive and earlier diagnosis and better treatment with minimal side effects. The research will therefore concentrate on translating theknowledge being created by genomics and other fields of basic research into applications that improve clinical practice and public health,

Remarks
The priority thematic area of information society technologies (IST) will contribute directly to the formulation of policies for the knowledge-
based society as agreed at the Lisbon Council in 2000 and the Stockholm Council in 2001 and included in the eEurope action plan. It will
ensure European leadership in the generic and applied technologies at the heart of the knowledge-based economy. It aims to increaseinnovation and competitiveness in European businesses and industry and to contribute to greater benefits for all European citizens.
To ensure the concentration of efforts, the work programme for 2003 to 2004 focuses on a limited number of strategic objectives which are
essential to achieve the aims of the IST priority under the sixth research and technological development framework programme. These covertechnological components, integrated systems and applications. They have been carefully identified so as to:
— consolidate forces in the fields in which Europe is the industrial and technological leader,— overcome weaknesses in critical areas to ensure European competitiveness and to rise to the challenges facing society,— exploit new opportunities and react to emerging needs, and— ensure the joint development of technologies and applications so that technological advances can be exploited in new products and
services.
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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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 .I t
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 (including conservation of fisheries resources, contro l and dialogue with
fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, f isheries research and
structural measures for fisheries through the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).
Sixty percent of appropriations is devoted to the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG). However, the FIFG operations are mainly imple mented by the
Member States as a part of decentralised management.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the settlement of commitments entered into, in earlier programming periods, by the FIFG in respect
of innovative, preparatory, monitoring or evaluation measures, and any similar technical assistance measures provided for in the Regulationsconcerned.
It also covers the former multiannual measures, in particular those approved and implemented under the other abovementioned Regula-
tions, which are not covered by the priority Objectives of the Funds.
This appropriation will also be used if necessary to cover financing due under the FIFG for measures for which the corresponding commit-
ment appropriations are not available or provided for in programming for 2000 to 2006.
In the case of the FIFG, this was expenditure relating to the support and financing of studies and projects relating to the conservation and
management of fishery resources and the protection of marine species as well as the relationship between fisheries and the environment, theuse of new techniques to improve the cost-benefit ratio of inspections, the formation of producer organisations and the institution of plansfor improving the quality of their products, and networking among the various parties involved in the fishing industry using innovativetechniques of communication and data exchange, including the running of such networks. The appropriation also covered pilot projects,project assessment, collecting basic data, organising meetings of experts and working groups, as well as assessing, publishing and otherwisedisseminating results. Since 2001 the new resource-management support measures have been funded from Article 1 1 04 04.

Remarks
This appropriation covers:— the Community contribution to expenditure incurred by the Member States in connection with the Community framework for the
collection and management of basic fisheries data,
— studies and pilot projects carried out by the Commission, where appropriate in cooperation with the Member States, to provide method-
ological support for programmes to collect basic data and the information necessary for the implementation of the common fisheriespolicy.
In the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will implement adequate measures in order to improve
scientific advice on fisheries issues.
Part of the appropriation is intended for:— improving scientific advice on the management of fishery resources, taking account not only of the impact of fishing industry activities
but also of other factors (maritime transport, pollution, etc.) which have an impact on fishery resources,
— developing a sound statistical basis which will enable scientific advice to be improved and increased. This will reinforce the aspects
relating to the common fisheries policy, the introduction of multiannual plans and the use of more selective fishing gear, in order tomaintain the balance of fishery resources.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1 999 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 onaccount entered in Ite m6157o ft h es t a t ement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 1 8
and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1 605/2002.

Remarks
Pursuant to the proposal for a decision on declaring 2004 the ‘European year of education through sport’, this appropriation is intended to
cover the following activities:
— to make education and sports organisations aware of the need for cooperation, given the educational importance of sport as a social
phenomenon and its great capacity to permeate all levels of society, particularly amongst young people,
— to consider the use of the values conveyed through sport to develop the ‘basic’ educational skills, whereby young people in particular can
develop their physical prowess and also social competences, such as working as part of a team, solidarity, tolerance and fair play,
— to stress the positive contribution of voluntary activity to parallel education, particularly that of young people, and to the development
of the sporting movement,
— to promote mobility and pupil exchanges, particularly in a multicultural environment and through the organisation of sporting and
cultural contacts as part of school activity,
— to encourage sport in the school curriculum in order to fight the sedentary nature of the school population and thus contribute to
improving pupils’ physical wellbeing,
— to consider the problems relating the education of young sportsmen and sportswomen concerned with ever earlier sporting careers.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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/856EN

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover grants to international non-governmental youth organisations working in a European context.In distributing the appropriations from this item, the Commission is called upon to take account of the extent to which the organisations
which apply for funding have extended their membership and operations to the new Member States; priority should be given to supportingnon-governmental organisations which stand out because of their comprehensive involvement of young people, particularly at all levelswithin their organisation, including its decision-making bodies.
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 fromcontributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accor-dance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementa-tion 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 candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 9 1 of the state-
ment of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 1 8(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The consumer policy action plan (1 999 to 2001) finished in 2001 and has been replaced by a multiannual consumer protection strategy
(2002 to 2006). This strategy provides for the implementation of the legal basis, and is based on three medium-term strategic objectiveswhich will be the subject of a ‘rolling’ programme over the short term, namely:
— a high, harmonised level of consumer protection throughout the EU,— effective implementation of consumer protection rules,— involvement of consumer organisations in Community policies.To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the

Remarks
The aim of the new programme of Community action in the field of public health (2003 to 2008) is to contribute to attaining a high level of
health protection by directing action towards improving public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources ofdanger to health.
Its three main priorities are:— to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of effective health
interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehensive system for collecting,analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authorities, health professionals and the public,and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and health-related policies, systems and measures,
— to enhance the ability to respond rapidly and in a coordinated way to threats to health by developing, strengthening and assisting the
operation and interlinking of surveillance, early warning and rapid reaction mechanisms covering health hazards,
— to address health determinants through health promotion and disease-prevention measures, by supporting and developing broad health-
promotion activities and disease-prevention actions and specific risk-reduction and elimination instruments.
Non-governmental organisations are key players in the implementation of the programme. Therefore they should be allocated adequate
funds.
With due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, part of this appropriation is earmarked for the work of the European Patients’
Forum, a pan-European patient body to address, and to be consulted on, issues concerning the interests of patients in the European health-care debate.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/936EN

The Community’s financial assistance will make it possible to accelerate eradication or control by providing funds to supplement national
financial resources and will contribute to harmonising measures at Community level. A major part of these diseases or infections arezoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.) and combating them helps improve the level of publichealth and boost food safety in the European Union; the persistence of these diseases hampers smooth operation of the internal market.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to measures to eliminate obstacles to the free movement of goods in
these sectors and to veterinary support and back-up measures.
One important measure is providing financial assistance for the work of the Community reference laboratories designated in Community
legislation. The work they do helps improve control over animal diseases and prevent them, reduce the risks as far as possible and protectpublic health through improving conditions for surveillance of biological and chemical hazards.
This appropriation also covers expenditure on the monitoring of compliance with animal-protection provisions during the transport of
animals for slaughter.
It is also intended to finance the development of marker vaccines or tests which can distinguish between sick and vaccinated animals.Technical and scientific measures necessary to develop Community veterinary legislation, for example the surveillance of Campylobacter in
broilers in Sweden, are also covered by this appropriation.

The appearance of certain animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal market and on
the Community’s commercial relations with third countries. Against that backdrop, the Community should make a financial contributiontowards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease when Member States deploy Communitymeans to combat epizootic diseases.

degree of trust in other Member States’ judicial systems. It will also make direct contacts between judges of different Member States neces-sary. At the same time the framework decision illustrates the fact that enormous challenges still need to be overcome. The pace of decision-making at European level has increased in an unprecedented way. This needs now to be followed up by increased training efforts to ensureproper implementation. Legal practitioners in the EU need to acquire sufficient knowledge not only about the different judicial systems in theMember States, but also, in particular, about relevant EU law. In addition a common understanding within the profession needs to bedeveloped. Most importantly, the overall quality of the judicial system needs to be improved in order to ensure citizens’ support for thecommon European judicial area. Permanent efforts will be needed to ensure that the mutual trust between Member States is maintained. Inthis context, reference should be made to the Green Paper on procedural safeguards in criminal proceedings.
These are all not only Member State tasks, but also European-level tasks since judges are now considered also to be judges of the EU.The pilot project should contribute to the efforts already undertaken to improve the quality of the judicial systems in the EU Member States,
notably by means of training for members of the judiciary. These needs are cross-cutting and the pilot project should address them with nodistinction between criminal and civil law cooperation, thus overcoming this artificial separation between the first and third pillars.
The pilot project should comprise two main elements: firstly, improved training for members of the judiciary, mainly through the exchange
programme but also through the development of learning and teaching materials, and, secondly, increased cooperation between all theactors involved, e.g. academic lawyers, training institutions and the judiciary, to ensure better mutual understanding and exchange of bestpractices.
As regards the first element, members of the judiciary should have the possibility of participating in a programme comprising several
modules:Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/980EN

I. exchange programme: the cornerstone of the pilot project should be the setting up of an exchange programme for members of the
judiciary. It should be a non-bureaucratic and sustainable scheme. In each Member State a contact point should be set up. It would be up toeach Member State to determine its contact point, which should be an institution responsible for the training of members of the judiciary;
II.elearning: in order to reach as many persons as possible in the target group, by way of a first step appropriate elearning material should be
developed and disseminated widely (for example learning material or courses provided by institutions or bodies responsible for training ofmembers of the judiciary, including videos of typical court hearings, reports by participants to exchange programmes with hyperlinks tohomepages of the Commission and Parliament websites and to relevant contact points (e.g. liaison magistrates, Eurojust and national mem-bers) and to cooperation tools set up by the European judicial network (such as a judicial atlas etc.). Members of the judiciary should be ableto consult this material if they need to acquire knowledge about problems concerning EU law or the current situation in a particular MemberState;
III. regular meeting of officials responsible for training institutions to exchange and discuss:— the programme and content of initial and further vocational training,— conditions for the reciprocal opening up of permanent training sessions to practitioners from all Member States,— best practices and assessment criteria.The pilot project should run for two years.First year:— feasibility study on the exchange programme, addressing eligibility criteria, duration, etc.— launching the elearning process
— meeting involving training institutions.Second year:— experimental testing of exchanges— developing the elearning process
— meeting involving training institutions.Legal basisPilot project within the meaning of Article 49(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1 605/2002 of 25 June on the Financial Regulation

In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six): the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large proportion of the
margin in heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.
Under the new Financial Regulation (Article 1 85) and the new corresponding articles of the framework regulation for each of the bodies set
up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.
Estimated revenue and expenditure for the financial year is as follows:
Revenue:

trative appropriations.
In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six): the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large proportion of the
margin in heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.
Under the new Financial Regulation (Article 1 85) and the new corresponding articles of the framework regulation for each of the bodies set
up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/996EN

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.It covers information in the field of justice and home affairs in relation to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice. This
measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Commu-nity institutions and take account of specific national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities.
On 2 July 2002, the Commission adopted a communication to the Council, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee
and the Committee of the Regions on an information and communication strategy for the European Union (COM(2002) 350 final). Thiscommunication proposes an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for thedevelopment of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.
The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down
common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the centraland decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the followingyears based on a report drawn up by the Commission.
This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an information campaign on the new transparency measures based on Article 255 of
the EC Treaty and Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and of the creation of an interinstitutional server giving online access to the EU law-making process.
It covers information to citizens about their rights of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents specifically
relating to the interinstitutional law-making process. This measure is designed to inform citizens about the principles and conditions govern-ing access to EU documents and at the same time to give them a single tool to facilitate their access to documents relating to an interinstitu-tional legislative procedure and to national implementing measures.

specialists in the analysis and monitoring of relations between the European Union and other regions for the external relations policy. Thissubsidy will enable the existing centres to step up their activities (research, seminars, contacts and publications) and to incorporate themesmarked out by the Commission as particularly relevant and topical in relations between the European Union and the regions concerned. Amore intensive analysis is envisaged of certain relations between the European Union and the regions concerned, i.e. Asia, Latin America, theMediterranean, the Balkans and the independent States of the former Soviet Union.
In respect of the Financial Regulation and to ensure continuity with the past, particular attention should be given to the activities of the

Remarks
This appropriation follows on from the preparatory action for 2001 to 2003 and the Commission communication on integrating migration
issues in the European Union’s relations with third countries (COM(2002) 703), which have paved the way for a proposal for a legal basis.
It is intended to finance a Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit in the field of
migration and asylum, which will provide a specific, additional response to the needs encountered by these countries in their efforts to bettermanage migratory flows, and to help them to improve their capacities to fulfil their international obligations in the field of asylum andmigration, including readmission.
This Community cooperation programme will finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and regional Commu-
nity cooperation and development strategies regarding the non-EU countries concerned and complete the actions (in particular in the fieldsof migration, asylum, border control, refugees and displaced people) provided for in the implementation of these strategies and financedfrom other Community instruments in the field of cooperation and development.
The respect of democratic principles and rule of law, as well as of human and minority rights and of fundamental freedoms, will constitute
an essential element for the application of this Instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be associated withmeasures aiming to strengthen democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international instruments in this field, including theGeneva Convention on Refugees.
Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agencies (in particu-
lar, UN agencies), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other non-State actors, federal, national, provincial and local governments ofthird countries, their departments and agencies, institutes, associations and public and private operators. As regards cooperation with theauthorities of the States involved, all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that the monies allocated are not used for purposes other thanthose for which they are intended.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1031EN

Conflict prevention and crisis management activities, by their nature, require a possibility to react to relatively unforeseeable external devel-
opments. A ‘crisis situation’ means a situation in a country outside the European Union which poses a threat to law and order and the safetyof individuals, which threatens to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country or countries and which might seriously jeopardisethe common values, fundamental interests, independence and integrity of the Union, its security, the preservation of peace and internationalsecurity, the promotion of international cooperation or the development and consolidation of democracy and the rule of law, respect forhuman rights and fundamental freedoms as defined in Article 1 1 of the Treaty on European Union. Action financed under this heading bythe common foreign and security policy (CFSP) budget must be of a civilian nature, have a limited duration and keep within the budgetallocated.
In view of the diversity and scale of these activities, a substantial capacity to respond to situations of imminent conflict or crisis is required in
the CFSP framework — notably in the area of Petersberg tasks, without military implications, or in the defence field — which justifieskeeping this article at a high level.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1040EN

JapanThe planned activities are intended to improve market access of EU goods and cross-border services to Japan through:— measures aimed at improving knowledge of the Japanese market; the Executive training programme (ETP), designed to build up a pool of
European executives able to communicate and operate in Japan’s business environment, will be continued,
— measures aimed at improving the commercial presence of EU industry in Japan; the third ‘Gateway to Japan’ campaign, launched in
2002, will be continued,
— other measures facilitating access to the Japanese market.Greater focus will be given to EU/Japan cooperation activities. Continuing efforts will have to be made in view of converting the EU-Japan
action plan adopted at the summit of December 2001 into concrete action (e.g. conferences, seminars, development of Europe Centres inJapan, etc.). An enhanced and better structured dialogue with Japan will be developed, along the lines of the objectives set out in the actionplan in the four cooperation priority areas.
Any revenue from financial participation by outside parties in promotional activities, notably the ETP programme, may lead to additional
appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 1 8 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1 605/2002 of 25 June 2002 onthe Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 1 6.9.2002, p. 1).
United States of AmericaThe planned activities will contribute to implement the new Transatlantic Agenda (NTA), which was signed in December 1 995 and provides
the framework under which the EU conducts its relations with the United States of America. The NTA is complemented by a joint actionplan under which the EU and the United States of America jointly committed themselves to the achievement of a wide range of objectivesnot only concerning bilateral relations, but also cooperative actions towards non–member countries, in multilateral forums and on globalchallenges.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1058EN

CHAPTER 19 08 — RELATIONS WITH THE MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN (cont’d)
Remarks
The purpose of development co-operation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals
(MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion ofpeople who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.
Before September each year, the Commission will submit an annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council showing how its
work has contributed to realising this overall objective. After the report has been submitted the three institutions will enter into a dialogueon the results and on how further progress can be made towards realising the objectives.
For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social
infrastructure, mainly education and health but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context, itis recognised that the Community contribution must be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country andthat a degree of flexibility must be the norm. A minimum of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sectors ofbasic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health andbasic education.
The cooperation agreements with the countries of the Middle East and the southern Mediterranean lay down a human rights clause, failure
to comply with which means that the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupulous in making sure that thatclause is complied with by beneficiaries when any project is funded. In this connection, the Commission is requested to produce for thebudgetary authority, every six months, a report assessing how that clause has been implemented.

COMMISSION
TITLE 19 — EXTERNAL RELATIONS
CHAPTER 19 09 — RELATIONS WITH LATIN AMERICA (cont’d)
Remarks
The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals
(MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion ofpeople who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.
Before September each year, the Commission will submit an annual report to the European Parliament and to the Coun cil showing how its
work has contributed to realising this overall objective. After the report has been submitted the three institutions will enter into a dialogueon the results and on how further progress can be made towards realising the objectives.
For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social
infrastructure, mainly education and health but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context, itis recognised that the Community contribution must be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country andthat a degree of flexibility must be the norm.A minimum of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sectors ofbasic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health andbasic education.
The cooperation agreements with the Latin American developing countries lay down a human rights clause, failure to comply with which
means that the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupulous in making sure that that clause is complied withby beneficiaries when any project is funded. In this connection, the Commission is requested to produce for the budgetary authority, everysix months, a report assessing how that clause has been implemented.
The appropriations entered in this chapter also cover the protection and promotion of children’s rights in programming, including in the
CSPs, national indicative programmes and mid-term reviews.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Latin American developing countries, particularly the poorest of them,
aimed mainly at the most disadvantaged sections of the population, in order to:
— assist institutional support and help consolidate democracy and the rule of law,— combat poverty and social exclusion, with particular attention being paid to the poverty trap faced by disabled people,— support integrated approaches (linking economic progress to social development and environmental and consumer protection),— support regional integration,— improve the standard of education, health and transport infrastructures,— promote the increased use of information and communications technologies.Part of this appropriation is to be used for the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.Emphasis is placed on operations influencing the judicial structure and cooperation with the European Union in that connection, economic
organisation and institutional development, operations concerning the environment, the education of women and children, addressing thesituation of street children, promotion of consumer policy, democratisation, regional cooperation, disaster prevention, reconstruction mea-sures and the promotion of the peace process in Colombia and the democratisation process in Cuba.
Investments on lands traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples or by other local communities, and other projects significantly affecting
their livelihood or social organisation, shall not be carried out without, as far as possible, their prior consultation and informed consent.
This appropriation is also intended to cover:— operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or increase awareness of European Union cooperation with
Latin American developing countries,
— information and training-related activities in areas such as sexual equality, preventing discrimination against children, preventing discrimi -
nation against disabled children and adultsand protecting the environment and tropical forests,
— support for the activities of non-governmental organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups such as women,
children, ethnic minorities and disabled people. This covers actions aimed at helping women and women’s organisations to reducegender inequalities in society and to combat discrimination against women in society,
— systematic monitoring and evaluation to assess the environmental impact of the development schemes funded by this article and the
publication of an annual assessment report. At least 10 % of these funds is to be used for environmental policies resulting from theAgenda 21 programme agreed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro on 3 to1 4 June 1 992, including renewable energy projects to facilitate the transfer of EU renewable and zero-emissions energy and relatedtechnologies.
A priority for this budget line will be to prevent and combat severe violence against women and lack of action against such violence will
constitute a reason to suspend EU assistance.
Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on compliance with the terms of the democracy clause in the cooperation agreements.This appropriation is also intended to consolidate the important political signals given at EU-Latin America summits and to provide the
necessary regulatory backing for the biregional strategic partnership process and Association Agreements with the countries and regions ofLatin America.
EUR 20 000 000 of the budget for Community cooperation with Latin America may be set aside each year for a Biregional Solidarity Fund
the activities of which will be geared to the management and financing of sectoral programmes linked to health, education and combatingpoverty and social inequality in the countries and regions of Latin America which have the lowest per capita income or which are experienc-ing serious unforeseen difficulties. Bodies (EIB, IDB, World Bank, etc.) and countries interested in its activities may also participate in thisfund. The fund will be coordinated by the Commission in cooperation with the other participants.
This appropriation is also intended for the fight against corruption, drug trafficking and money laundering in the context of the Euro-Latin-
FOR and Euro-Latin-LEX programmes.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1090EN

CHAPTER 19 10 — RELATIONS WITH ASIA (cont’d)
Remarks
The purpose of development co-operation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals
(MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion ofpeople who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.
Before September each year, the Commission will submit an annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council showing how its
work has contributed to realising this overall objective. After the report has been submitted, the three institutions will enter into a dialogueon the results and on how further progress can be made towards realising the objectives.
For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social
infrastructure, mainly education and health but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context, itis recognised that the EC contribution must be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country and that adegree of flexibility must be the norm.A minimum of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sectors of basichealth and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health and basiceducation.
The cooperation agreements with the Asian developing countries lay down a human rights clause, failure to comply with which means that
the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupulous in making sure that that clause is complied with bybeneficiaries when any project is funded. In this connection, the Commission is requested to produce for the budgetary authority, every sixmonths, a report assessing how that clause has been implemented.
The appropriations entered in this chapter also cover the protection and promotion of children’s rights and the integration of children’s
rights into programming, including in the CSPs, national indicative plans and mid-term reviews.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them, aimed at
tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation and institutionaldevelopment, the strengthening of civil society, including operations concerning democratisation, universal access for children of both sexesand women to primary and secondary education, the environment, tropical forests, anti-drugs campaigns, regional cooperation, disasterprevention and reconstruction measures, as well as greater use of information and communications technology.
It is also intended to cover information and training-related activities in areas such as fighting discrimination against women,disabled people
and the exploitation of children of both sexes, promoting consumer protection policy, campaigns against drugs and AIDS and populationissues assisted by greater use of information and communications technology.
The Commission produces an annual report covering all its external aid activities.Also charged to this article is expenditure on operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or increase
awareness of European Union cooperation with Asian developing countries.
This appropriation also covers (micro, small and medium) loans and credits granted through the banking system that support, in particular,
initiatives to promote employment for women and disabled people.
It is also intended to cover support for the development of civil society and, in particular, support for the activities of non-governmental
organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, ethnic minorities and disabled people.
Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on observance of the principles underpinning European Union action.Lack of action to prevent and combat severe violence against women (stoning, public castigation, genital mutilation, burning or rape) will
constitute a reason to suspend EU assistance.
This appropriation also covers expenditure on operations to help the people of East Timor.The release of funds earmarked for Nepal will be subject to the provision of a guarantee by the Nepalese authorities that they will not turn
back refugees from Tibet.
Part of this appropriation is to be used to promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law.Legal basisCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 443/92 of 25 February 1 992 on financial and technical assistance to and economic cooperation with develop-

This appropriation is intended to cover Community operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process. It is supple-
mented by expenditure from other chapters and headings, to which different procedures apply, notably Chapter 23 02 (humanitarian aid),Articles 21 02 01 and 21 02 02 (food aid and support operations), and Article 1 9 02 05 (rapid reaction mechanism).
The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full implementation
of the letter and the spirit of the Bonn-Petersberg Agreement. It will keep the budgetary authority informed about its findings and conclu-sions.
This appropriation is also intended to develop and encourage viable alternative crops to poppy in Afghanistan.Particular attention will be paid to the situation of women and girls in all actions supported by this appropriation, with priority for actions in
the fields of health and education.
The reserve will be released once the Commission has put forward a comprehensive programme for the fight against drugs and for encour-
aging other viable alternative crops in order to develop new opportunities for farmers and prevent export of these drugs.

Remarks
In its communication of 1 1 February 2000 to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Commit-
tee of the Regions on strategic objectives 2000 to 2005 ‘Shaping the new Europe’ (OJ C 81, 21.3.2000, p. 1), the Commission laid down itsstrategic priorities for the period 2000 to 2005, which include efforts to give Europe ‘a stronger voice in the world’.
The main guidelines for 2004 are:— to develop a strategic approach by refocusing information measures and matching them to the priorities of the European Union’s
external policy in order to set out and promote a consistent and dynamic image of that policy,
— to develop regional coordination of the information programmes of Commission delegations,— to collaborate with the Member States in organising joint activities in non-member countries,— to make greater use of new technologies in order to spread information quickly and in targeted fashion (Internet, electronic mail),— to achieve economies of scale in the preparation of information products through concerted action,— to collaborate with the media,— to develop tools for evaluating action that has been taken,— to increase the number of delegations which will benefit from these appropriations.These measures fall into two broad categories: horizontal activities and logistical support emanating from headquarters, and activities car-
ried out in non-member countries by Commission delegations.
Measures carried out from headquarters— the European Union visitors programme (EUVP), carried out jointly by the European Parliament and the Commission, provides some
170 participants a year, chosen by the delegations, with the opportunity of experiencing contact with the European Union by visiting theEuropean Parliament and the Commission as part of a made-to-measure individual programme of visits based on a theme,
— the production and distribution of publications on priority themes as part of an annual programme,— the production and dissemination of audiovisual material,— the development of information delivered via electronic media (the Internet and electronic message systems),Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1 105EN

— the organisation of visits for groups of journalists,
— the bulk purchase of promotional material to be made available to delegations,— support for the information activities of opinion leaders that are consistent with the European Union’s priorities.Decentralised measures carried out by delegations in non-member countriesIn accordance with the communication goals laid down for each region and each country, the delegations propose an annual communica-
tion plan, which, once approved by headquarters, is assigned a budgetary allocation.
These measures fall into five categories:— websites (CD-ROM),— relations with the media (press conferences, seminars, radio programmes, etc.),— information products (other publications, graphic material, etc.),— the organisation of events,— other activities.Legal basisTask resulting from the Commission’s administrative autonomy, as provided for in Article 49(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom)

TRADE
Overall objectives
This policy area aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to int ernational trade
and the reduction of customs barriers.
An important pillar of the European Union’s economic relations with the rest of the world, it aims to promote the economic and political interests of th e European
Union. It covers all the main aspects of trade in goods and services (tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade protection measures, in particular in case s of dumping and
subsidies, export credits) and the important issues of intellectual property, investment and competition.
This policy area comprises two operational activities (trade policy and anti-dumping strategy), with the larger part of the proposed appropriation s earmarked for
trade policy activities.

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, policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation program mes. It
includes both budgetary appropriations under heading 4 of the financial perspective and funds under the various European Development Funds (EDF) fo rt h e
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 approximately EUR 3,275 billion in commitm ent
appropriations in 2004 compared to an overall total of about EUR 5 billion under heading 4 of which about EUR 1 billion falls technically under this poli cy area.
This implies that significant human resources, which are employed to implement the EDF and the complex operations under the Cotonou Agreement are to b e
taken into account in the overall human resources requirements in this policy area.

Remarks
The purpose of development co-operation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals
(MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion ofpeople who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.
Before September each year, the Commission will submit an annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council showing how its
work has contributed to realising this overall objective. After the report has been submitted the three institutions will enter into a dialogueon the results and on how further progress can be made towards realising the objectives.
For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social
infrastructure, mainly education and health but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context, itis recognised that the Community contribution must be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country andthat a degree of flexibility must be the norm. A minimum of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sectors ofbasic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health andbasic education.
This appropriation also covers the protection and promotion of children’s rights and the integration of children’s rights into programming,
including in the CSPs, NIPs and mid-term reviews.

ENLARGEMENT
Overall objectives
In 2004, the focus of this policy area will shift towards the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to secure that the three remaining candidate countries stay on
course to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council:
— to implement the accession roadmaps drawn up for Bulgaria and Romania and achieve the specific landmark targets set out in them for the short and mediu m
term with a view to meeting the accession date of 2007 ,
— to strengthen the financial support granted to Bulgaria and Romania under the Phare programme aimed at helping them meet the structural, institutio nal,
administrative and judicial requirements of EU membership,
— to establish a close monitoring of Turkey’s progress in meeting the Copenhagen political criteria and generally of the reform process, so that a reas oned report
and recommendation on the take-up of formal accession negotiations can be delivered by the Commission by December 2004,
— to implement the strengthened preaccession support strategy for Turkey agreed by the Copenhagen European Council of December 2002.Nevertheless, as far as the 10 acceding countries are concerned, important accession-related tasks and initiatives will still have to be taken up by t he Commission
over a number of years after accession.

Remarks
After enlargement, the Commission will maintain its responsibility to ensure that all legal and financial requirements are fulfilled, in particu-
lar with regard to sound and efficient financial management. In line with the Accession Treaty, all implementing agencies in the candidatecountries will operate under the extended decentralised implementation system (EDIS) as soon as feasible and, normally, upon accession. Toaccompany this transition, the administrative and personnel structures currently embodied in the delegations will be maintained for up to 15months after accession.
This appropriation is intended to cover the administrative costs of the phasing-out of the preaccession assistance programmes in the candi-
date countries acceding to the European Union in 2004, namely:
— expenditure on temporary support staff in delegations (detached national experts, individual experts, local staff and local technical
assistance staff) for the purposes of the devolved programme management in the Commission’s delegations in non-members countriesas well as the additional logistical and infrastructure cost, such as cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications and ofrenting directly caused by the presence in the delegation of the temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations in the item,
— expenditure on short-term technical assistance, linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme (or measures coming under
this item, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by theCommission under ad hoc service contracts).

Remarks
The European Union pursues a policy of cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe which is part of a European Union
preaccession strategy towards these countries.
During the period 1 990 to 1 994, this appropriation was intended to assist the countries of central and eastern Europe in their transition to a
market economy and democracy.
Following the Essen European Council, the role of the Phare programme has gradually evolved into that of an instrument of support to the
applicant countries in their bid for accession.
As a result of the stepping-up of the preaccession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Agenda 2000,
Phare operations are now geared to two main priorities:
— institution-building, so as to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire , in particular by means of:
— — the approximation of legislation,
— — structural reforms and regional policies,
— — promoting democracy, social dialogue and civil society and active cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs,
— — opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,
— infrastructure-financing, notably in order to help the candidate States comply with Community legislative standards and adopt the acquis
communautaire in the area of economic and social cohesion.
With the planned accession of eight Phare countries to the Union in 2004, this appropriation is intended to cover Phare preaccession
assistance to those countries still in negotiation.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1213EN
COMMISSION
TITLE 22 — ENLARGEMENT
CHAPTER 22 02 — PREACCESSION ASSISTANCE INSTRUMENTS (cont’d)
22 02 01 (cont’d)
Assistance under the programme focuses mainly on the priorities identified under the accession partnerships and will take account of the
progress achieved towards adoption of the acquis communautaire .
For the period 2000 to 2006, approximately 30 % of the Phare budget is thus earmarked for the first priority, institution-building, and some
70 % for infrastructure-financing. These figures are for indicative purposes only and may vary according to the particular circumstances ofthe beneficiary State concerned, in particular as regards its requirements and absorption capacity.
Part of this appropriation is intended for the financing of measures for developing and preparing partnerships, i.e. business contact fairs,
between companies in the Member States and in the candidate countries.
Agenda 2000 and the conclusions of various European Councils have underlined the importance of a high level of nuclear safety in the
candidate countries. The action taken under Phare is intended to support the candidate countries in their efforts to ensure the required highlevel, notably with regard to the recommendations of the Council’s Atomic Questions Group.
Measures taken in the area of nuclear security are also intended to cover the financing of technical and legal assistance necessary for the
evaluation of the safety, environmental, economic and financial aspects of the projects for which financing in the form of a Euratom loan hasbeen requested (including studies by the European Investment Bank); the measures are also intended to enable loan contracts to be finalisedand carried out. The Commission shall provide the budgetary authority with itemised information on the costs of this technical and legalassistance.
In accordance with the Sole Article of Decision 94/179/Euratom, any proceeds from undertakings in receipt of a loan under that Decision,
which are entered against Ite m6191o ft h es t a t ement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance
with Article 1 8 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1 605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the generalbudget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 1 6.9.2002, p. 1).
This appropriation is also intended to cover the involvement of associated countries in central and eastern Europe in Community pro-
grammes.
All the measures should be subject to gender mainstreaming. Furthermore, an appropriate, yet nonetheless substantial, portion of the Phare
budget, to be used exclusively for projects aimed at women, will be earmarked for this purpose.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of various operations under the specific preaccession strategy decided for Turkey
further to the conclusions of the Helsinki European Council of December 1 999. Operations under the programme will be geared to twomain priorities:
— institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire , in particular by means of:
— — the approximation of legislation,
— — structural reforms and regional policies,
— — promoting democracy, social dialogue and civil society and active cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs,
— — opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,
— infrastructure-financing, notably in order to help Turkey comply with Community legislative standards and adopt the acquis communau-
taire in the area of economic and social cohesion.
Assistance under the programme will focus mainly on the priorities identified under the Accession Partnership for Turkey and will take
account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquis communautaire , and in particular:
— participation in certain targeted projects, in particular to boost administrative and judicial capacity and projects in the field of justice,— participation in certain Community programmes and agencies,— cross-border cooperation,Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1217EN

This appropriation is intended to cover preparatory actions to support regions and economic sectors, which are particularly affected by the
social or economic costs likely to be generated by the enlargement process. Regions and economic sectors will be supported in preparing tocope with the social and economic changes which are to be expected in relation to enlargement. The preparatory actions are set up with aview to minimising the possible adverse effects and putting forward a programme for those economic sectors and geographical areas onwhich enlargement is likely to have the most impact, in particular, the most affected border regions.
These preparatory actions are intended, inter alia, to fund measures for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Community in
order to improve their capacity to react to the opportunities and challenges resulting from the enlargement process to include the candidatecountries. The appropriations will be directed to SMEs, associations of SMEs, or regional and local bodies to support, inter alia, measures to
improve contacts and prepare cooperation, joint ventures and collaborative links with SMEs of the candidate countries, measures to improvethe competitiveness of SMEs in border regions, and measures to improve the trade relations between SMEs in the current Member States andthose in the candidate countries and, subsequently, the new Member States, facilitating the flow of goods and services in both directions.
Measures to support will also concern:— provision of information focusing on the economic and social aspects of enlargement to collaborative link-ups and SMEs,— collaboration and pooling of experience between regional and local authority administrations.These actions are intended to complement the measures financed under Council Decision 2000/81 9/EC of 20 December 2000 on a multian-
nual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship, and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (2001 to 2005)(OJ L 333, 29.12.2000, p. 84).
This appropriation is also intended to finance actions involving consumer organisations or entities (such as national administrations, judicial
authorities, etc.) in the candidate countries with a view to promoting consumer health, safety and protection as generally provided inDecision No 283/1 999/EC.
It is also intended to finance measures in favour of young people in the regions bordering the candidate countries, such as support for
transnational mobility, information and communication technologies in the area of youth, development of cooperation networks, promo-tion of language skills and understanding of different cultures.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1221EN

Other projects planned are to be carried out by various kinds of organisations and local and regional bodies, in order to facilitate the free
movement of persons after the accession of new Member States. Projects will, inter alia, concentrate on:
— analysis of the quantitative aspects of expected migration and on the resulting challenges for local or regional economies and labour
markets,
— measures to prepare for the administrative and economic effects of increased migration, which may include contacts between representa-
tives of government departments and the business world in the Member States and candidate countries,
— information for specifically affected organisations and groups on the expected effects of EU enlargement for migration and, in particular,
the positive effects of free movement of persons on the economy and culture.
This action is not directed towards the general public.Preference will be given to funding projects which are situated in the land and sea border regions bordering the candidate countries or which
include partners from the candidate countries. In connection with all the projects and measures funded under this article, disabled personsmust be afforded unrestricted access. The measures take into account the Commission communication of 25 July 2001 on the impact ofenlargement on regions bordering candidate countries — Community action for border regions (COM(2001) 437 final).

Remarks
New articleThe European Commission proposed in its strategy paper of 9 October 2002 (COM(2002) 700 final) to create a transition facility for certain
institution-building actions over the period 2004 to 2006. The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new MemberStates in their efforts to strengthen their administrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of bestpractice.
The orientation of the transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded by Phare
during the preaccession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and decision making willcontinue to apply for the transition facility with some small adaptations.
Article 34 of Title I, part 4, of the Accession Treaty provides the legal basis for the establishment of the transition facility. Paragraph 3 refers
to the procedure under the Phare Regulation for seeking Member States’ opinion on programmes. Paragraph 4 refers to the FinancialRegulation as applicable to internal policies for implementation.
The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to the new Member States in areas where their administrative and
institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on par with present Member States. The transition facility should provide the tools to enablethem to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have been or risk being invoked.
The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which cannot be
financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:
— justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strengthening of law
enforcement capacities),
— financial control,— protection of the Communities’ financial interests and the fight against fraud,— the internal market, including customs union,— the environment,— veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety,Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1225EN

— administrative and control structures for agriculture and rural development, including the integrated administration and control system
(IACS),
— nuclear safety (strengthening the effectiveness and competence of nuclear safety authorities and their technical support organisations as
well as public radioactive waste management agencies),
— statistics,— the strengthening public administration according to needs identified in the Commission’s comprehensive monitoring report which are
not covered by the Structural Funds.
The issues to be addressed by the transition facility will primarily be identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority should be
given to areas where safeguard clauses risk being or have been invoked to secure rapid remedial action.
Part of each allocation is assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes. The remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

CHAPTER 22 04 — INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION STRATEGY (cont’d)
This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.
It covers the ‘Enlargement: a challenge for Europe’ campaign. This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and
dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Community institutions on the issue of EU enlargement and, in close coopera-tion with the Member State authorities, takes account of specific national and regional characteristics. In this connection, on 10 May 2000the Commission adopted a communication on communications strategy for enlargement (SEC(2000) 737).
Throughout the year of enlargement, events and ceremonies marking 1 May 2004 as the historic date of accession will be taken account of.
The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the campaign’s priorities under the enlargement timetable. In 2003 priority will begiven to backing the procedures for ratifying the accession treaty in the current Member States. In 2004 the aim of the campaign will be toraise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, which actually takes effect on 1 May 2004. The proposed amounttherefore takes account of the accession of 10 new Member States in 2004: the campaign will concern the national strategies of 25 countriesinstead of 15 the year before.
On 27 June 2001 the Commission adopted a communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee
and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policyof the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final). This communication proposes an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between theinstitutions and with the Member States for the development of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.

Overall objectives
The aim of this policy area is to provide relief to the victims of humanitarian disasters worldwide, and in doing so:— grant assistance strictly in accordance with identified humanitarian needs,— focus more directly on ‘forgotten’ crises not covered by other donors,— ensure a more balanced per-beneficiary allocation of funds that takes into account the different levels of complexity of operations, the objective needs that result
from the geographic location, and the nature of specific crises,
— give specific attention to unstable post-crisis situations where other (national) donors may be reluctant to become involved,— strive for maximum complementarity and coherence with other key players’ priorities,— ensure that horizontal issues (gender, human rights and disability) will be systematically mainstreamed into operations.

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.It covers the ‘Debate on the future of the European Union’ established in the context of the Intergovernmental Conference. It is intended first

This measure is designed tobe an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Community institutions and takeaccount of specific national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities. In this connection theCommission adopted, on 25 April 2001, its communication on certain arrangements for the debate on the future of the European Union(COM(2001) 178 final).
On 27 June 2001, the Commission adopted a communication to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee
and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policyof the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final).

The Laeken European Council convened a Convention, tasked with preparing a draft Union constitution, the proceedings of which, to be
completed in 2003, will serve as a basis for an Intergovernmental Conference.

common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the centraland decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the followingyears based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

Remarks
In the light of the conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of 1 1 and 12 December 1 992 and the Berlin European Council of
24 and 25 March 1 999, the institutions have decided to enter an emergency aid reserve in the budget.
The aim of this reserve, in accordance with paragraph 23(c) of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1 999 is to provide a rapid response
to ad hoc aid requirements in the light of events which could not have been foreseen when the budget was drawn up, with priority forhumanitarian operations.
When the Commission sees a need to call on this reserve, it will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a simplified form, as soon as
possible with a view to securing the agreement of the other two arms of the budgetary authority on the need for recourse to the reserve andon the sum required. The appropriations will be transferred to the budget headings concerned.
Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1 999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and
improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 1 8.6.1 999, p. 1).Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1377EN

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of information and communication measures undertaken by the Office.
The Office’s external information and communication strategy is central to its work. The Office was set up as an independent investigative
body and must therefore have its own communications strategy. The Office’s work is often too technical to be immediately comprehensibleto the general public. The Office has to inform its interlocutors and the public as a whole of its role and tasks. Public perception of theOffice’s work is of paramount importance.
As a Commission service, the Office also needs to take account of the democratic deficit existing between Community institutions and the
citizens of Europe. The Commission has recognised this deficit and drawn up an action plan to address it.
The communications strategy that the Office has developed and continues to implement must demonstrate its independence.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1 428EN

Under the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, the EFTA countries (with the exception of Switzerland) take part
in a wide range of Community policies covered by headings 3, 4 and 5 of the financial perspective in exchange for a financialcontribution to operating appropriations calculated by applying a ‘proportionality factor’. This proportionality factor is equal tothe sum of the ratios obtained by dividing the gross domestic product at market prices of each EFTA country by the grossdomestic product at market prices of all the EU Member States plus that of the EFTA country concerned.
At this stage, the rate for participation is estimated at 2,29 % (calculation based on 2002 figures) on the basis of 15 Member
States.
These financial contributions will not be formally entered in the budget; each heading relating to activities in which the EFTA
countries take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. The summary table (on the basis of 15 MemberStates) listing the budget headings concerned and the amount of the EFTA contribution for each heading is published below. Thetotal EFTA contribution for the operating part for 2004 is estimated at about EUR 119 million for EU-15 in commitment appro-priations. The EFTA countries will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked with implementation of thesepolicies. The figures and headings concerning the contributions by the EFTA countries are still to be discussed with them andmust therefore be regarded as provisional.

2. Description
In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88, the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experienc-
ing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties with their balance of payments. The outstanding amount of such loans is limitedto EUR 16 000 000 000 in principal.
To this end, the Commission is empowered, on behalf of the European Community, to borrow on the capital markets or from
financial institutions. The budget guarantee covers these borrowing operations. The outstanding amount of loans granted underthis facility is limited to EUR 14 000 000 000 in principal. The balance compared with the ceiling of EUR 16 000 000 000 maybe raised by recourse to the Member States.
For calculating the available balance of the authorised ceiling, the exchange rate for lending operations is that of the day on which
they are concluded and for loan repayments the exchange rate is that of the day on which the corresponding loan was concluded.
Outstanding amounts on current Community loans pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 count against the ceiling.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1523EN

Decisions to grant loans to Member States are adopted by the Council acting by a qualified majority.
Loans are subject to the adoption by the Member State of economic policy measures which will restore a tolerable balance-of-
payments situation.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experienc-
ing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member Stateswhich have not adopted the euro may benefit from this Community facility. The outstanding amount of loans is limited to EUR12 billion in principal.

2. Description
The above Decisions empower the Commission to raise loans on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community, the pro-
ceeds of which are for on-lending to finance investment projects involving the industrial generation of nuclear-based electricityand industrial fuel-cycle installations.
To reduce Europe’s dependence on imported energy, the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity must be encouraged, with
due account for safety and security requirements. Downstream from production, the investments necessary for the reprocessingand storage of waste will need to be promoted.
The borrowing-and-on-lending machinery set up by the European Atomic Energy Community enables electricity producers faced
with a substantial increase in their investment and operating costs to make more extensive use of credit.
The loans raised are managed by the Commission, which, in conjunction with the European Investment Bank, also manages the
loans granted.
In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 77/270/Euratom the Commission submitted a report to the European Parliament and to
the Council on Euratom borrowing and lending as part of the annual report on Community borrowing-and-lending operationsfor 2000.

The above Instruments empower the Commission to raise loans on behalf of the European Community, the proceeds of which
are for on-lending to finance investment projects which contribute to greater convergence and integration of the economies ofthe Member States. These projects must help attain the priority European Union objectives in the energy, industry and infrastruc-ture sectors, and assist the financing of investment by small and medium-sized undertakings in productive sectors and the promo-tion of new technologies and innovation taking account of, inter alia , the regional impact of the projects and the need to combat
unemployment.
The new Community Instrument borrowing ceilings, like those for the other Community Financial Instruments, are fixed by
unanimous decision of the Council. However, the new Community Instrument tranches, which under NCI I and II were also fixedby unanimous Council decision, are now authorised, following Decision 83/200/EEC, by the Council acting by a qualified major-ity.
Within the limits of the tranches authorised by the Council, the Commission borrows on the capital markets; under a coopera-
tion agreement between the Commission and the European Investment Bank, the Bank, subject to the Commission’s decision onthe eligibility of projects, is authorised to take decisions on the granting of loans and to manage them.
In accordance with Article 6 of Decision 78/870/EEC, Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/79 and Article 7 of Decisions

(b) NCI — Earthquakes
By extension of the initial provisions of the new Community Instrument and by way of sole exception, the Commission is
empowered to contract loans for the purpose of financing investments for the reconstruction of the means of production and theeconomic and social infrastructure in the regions of southern Italy and Greece affected by the earthquakes of 23 November 1980and February and March 1981 respectively.
The amount which the Commission is allowed to raise is limited to EUR 1 000 000 000 for Italy and EUR 80 000 000 for Greece,
less any amounts lent by the European Investment Bank from its own resources.
The budget guarantee covers the Commission’s borrowing operations.The entire EUR 80 000 000 for Greece was raised and on-lent in 1982 under the NCI. For Italy, EUR 950 300 000 out of the
EUR 1 000 000 000 authorised had been paid out at 31 December 1992, 63 % under the NCI and 37 % from the EuropeanInvestment Bank’s own resources.
Interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of up to
EUR 1 000 000 000 in principal granted for investment in the regions of Italy affected by the earthquake in November 1980under the new Community Instrument for the promotion of investment in the Community in accordance with Article 1 ofDecision 78/870/EEC, as supplemented by Article 1 of Decision 81/19/EEC, and/or by the European Investment Bank from itsown funds.

3. Effect on the budget
These back-to-back borrowing-and-lending operations should not represent a direct charge on the general budget. The possibility
of temporarily investing borrowed funds deposited by the Commission with the European Investment Bank (Treasury) as pro-vided in Article 4 of the new Community Instrument Decisions should not affect the neutral nature, from the point of view of thecharge to the budget, of borrowing-and-lending operations under this Instrument.
The financial impact is confined to:— activation of the guarantee should a debtor default,— the associated interest-rate subsidies (earthquake loans).Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1528EN

external action (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1149/1999 (OJ L 139, 2.6.1999,p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.
The effect on the budget is thus limited to:— payment to the Fund of 9 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed after 1 Janu-
ary 2000,
— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1549EN

Community macrofinancial assistance for non-member countries
1. Macrofinancial assistance for Albania — Albania III and IV
After two macrofinancial assistance operations for Albania in the form of donations, the Council decided on a new operation
(Albania III) in the form of a EUR 20 000 000 loan on 22 April 1999.
The planned operation has not been programmed because of Albania’s reluctance to accept the financing conditions. Accord-
ing to information from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Albanian authorities, Albania might require excep-tional financial assistance in 2002 and 2003. A new proposal for macrofinancial assistance or revision of the old proposalcould therefore be decided in the form of donations and loans.
2. Macrofinancial assistance for Algeria — Algeria II
The first tranche (EUR 100 000 000) of the macrofinancial assistance of EUR 200 000 000 decided in 1994 was disbursed in
1995 in support of Algeria’s 1994/95 economic programme.
In view of the country’s political and financial situation, disbursement of the second tranche was suspended in 1998. Given
the distinct improvement in Algeria’s external situation, disbursement of the second tranche is no longer planned.
3. Macrofinancial assistance for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia — FYROM II and III
A new macrofinancial assistance operation consisting of loans not exceeding EUR 50 000 000 and donations not exceeding
EUR 30 000 000 was decided by the Council in 1999. The first loan tranche of EUR 10 000 000 was disbursed in 2001. Thesecond tranche of EUR 12 000 000 was disbursed in January 2002.
Disbursement of the balance of EUR 28 000 000 is planned in the course of 2002 at the latest.In 2003, the Commission might propose a third macrofinancial assistance operation consisting of loans not exceeding
EUR 30 000 000. If this is approved, disbursement is planned for 2003.
4. Macrofinancial assistance for Belarus
The first tranche (EUR 30 000 000) of the macrofinancial assistance of EUR 55 000 000 decided in 1995 was disbursed that
year in support of Belarus’s economic programme for 1995. In view of the country’s political and economic situation, thereare no plans at present for disbursing the second tranche.
5. Macrofinancial assistance for Bosnia and Herzegovina — Bosnia I, II and possibly III
The first macrofinancial assistance operation consisting of loans not exceeding EUR 20 000 000 and donations not exceeding
EUR 40 000 000 was decided by the Council in 1999. The first loan tranche of EUR 10 000 000 was disbursed in 1999 andthe second loan tranche of EUR 10 000 000 in 2001.
A second macrofinancial assistance operation consisting of loans which could amount to EUR 40 000 000 as well as dona-
tions is also envisaged in 2002. The loans could be disbursed in three tranches in 2002 and 2003.
A third macrofinancial assistance operation could be proposed by the Commission. If approved, it would lead to disburse-
ment of EUR 15 000 000 in 2003.
6. Macrofinancial assistance for Romania — Romania IV
A new macrofinancial assistance operation of up to EUR 200 000 000 was decided in 1999. The first tranche of EUR
100 000 000 was paid in 2000 and the second tranche is planned, in two instalments, in 2002.Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2004 II/1551EN

Technical notes on Table 1
1. Table 1
(a) For balance of payments, ‘NCI’ and ‘Euratom’ operations the amounts borrowed should correspond to the amounts lent.
However, the funds borrowed may be exchanged under swap operations for other currencies (at different interest rates) and these
currencies are then lent.
Divergent movements in the parities against the euro of the currencies borrowed and lent are the reasons for the differences
between the columns ‘Repayments’ and ‘Amount outstanding’ for borrowing-and-lending operations.
The differences in interest rates for the currencies used in borrowing-and-lending operations are the reasons for differences in the
column ‘Interest’ for these two types of operations.
(b) Exchange rate: the amounts in Column (2) ‘Equivalent at date of signature’ are converted at the rate applicable on the date of
signature. As regards refinancing operations, Table 1 shows both the initial operation (e.g. in 1979) and the replacement opera-tion (e.g. in 1986), the amount for the latter being converted at the rate of the initial operation. The resulting duplication affectsthe annual figures but is eliminated in the total.
All other amounts are converted at the rate applicable at 31 December 2001.(c) Column (3) ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2001’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows
the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2001 under loans signed in 1986 (table 1), including refinancing(which produces some duplication).
(d) Column (4) ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2001’: these are net figures, with no duplication as a result of refinancing
operations. They are obtained by subtracting from the column 3 figure the cumulative total of repayments made up to 31 Decem-ber 2001, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).
