— The section of the Council, for which its reading is approved.

Also, the impact in the Budget 2020 of the automatic salary update to be applied from 1 July 2019 (2.0 % instead of 3,1 %) is integrated in all sections of the Institutions as follows:

in EUR Parliament -10 922 000 Council -3 627 000 Commission (including pensions) -52 453 000 Court of Justice -3 393 000 Court of Auditors -1 380 000 European Economic & Social Committee - 819 672 Committee of the Regions - 610 000 Ombudsman - 111 000 European Data Protection Supervisor -64 000 European External Action Service -3 529 000 Total -76 908 672

Special instruments: EGF, EAR and EUSF

Commitment appropriations for the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), for the Emergency Aid Reserve (EAR) and for the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF) are set at the level proposed by the Commission in the Draft Budget.

1.4. Payment appropriations

The overall level of payment appropriations in the 2020 Budget is set at the level of the Draft Budget, as amended by Amending Letter 1/2020 with the following adjustments agreed by the Conciliation Committee:

1. First, account is taken of the agreed level of commitment appropriations for non-differentiated expenditure, for which the level of payment appropriations is equal to the level of commitment appropriations. This includes the additional reduction of agricultural expenditure by -EUR 72,0 million. This approach is applied, by analogy, to the EU contribution of decentralised agencies. The combined effect is a decrease of -EUR 156,4 million;

2. The payment appropriations for all new pilot projects and preparatory actions proposed by the Parliament are set at 25 % of the corresponding commitment appropriations, or at the level proposed by Parliament if lower. In the case of extension of existing pilot projects and preparatory actions the level of payment appropriations is the one defined in the Draft Budget plus 25 % of the corresponding new commitment appropriations, or at the level proposed by Parliament if lower. The combined effect is an increase of EUR 35,0 million;

Budget line Name 04 03 02 01 Progress — Supporting the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Union employment and social policy and working conditions legislation Amend text as follows: — to encourage job creation, promote youth employment and fight poverty by promoting increased social convergence by means of the Social Mark of decent jobs in terms of stable employment and social rights, promoting acceptable employment for young people and combatting poverty by promoting social convergence . 08 02 03 01 Improving lifelong health and well-being Amend text as follows: Lifelong health and well-being for all, high-quality and economically sustainable health and care systems, with health care becoming more personalised for more efficacy, and opportunities for new jobs and growth in the health sector and its related industries are the aims of this activity. To that respect activities will focus on effective health promotion and disease prevention (e.g. understanding the determinants of health, developing better preventive vaccines). Particular attention will be paid to gender- and age-related health specificities. In addition, emphasis will be placed on managing, treating and curing disease (notably via an increased personalisation of medicine), including fighting cancer , disability and reduced functionality (e.g. by transferring knowledge to clinical practice and scalable innovation actions, better use of health data, independent and assisted living). Furthermore, efforts will be made to improve decision-making in prevention and treatment provision, identify and support the dissemination of best practice in the health care sector, and support integrated care and the uptake of technological, organisational and social innovations empowering in particular older persons as well as disabled persons to remain active and independent. Finally, activities will be based on a gender-sensitive approach that recognises, amongst other things, the position of women in both the informal and the formal care sector. 08 02 03 03 Making the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system Add the following text: Attention shall be paid to helping to close the research and innovation divide in Europe, without undermining the excellence criteria. 08 02 08 SME instrument Amend text as follows: In accordance with Article 15(3) of the Financial Regulation, an amount of EUR 72 000 000 in commitment appropriations is available for this budget article further to decommitments made in 2018 as a result of total or partial non-implementation of research projects. 09 04 02 01 Leadership in information and communications technology Add the following text: This could cover further research work in the field of developing European internet search engines. 09 04 03 02 Fostering inclusive, innovative and reflective European societies Amend text as follows: The aim of the second challenge is ‘to contribute to an understanding of Europe’s intellectual basis and cultural heritage: its history and the many European and non-European influences; as an inspiration for our lives today’, as well as to facilitate the access and exploitation of this cultural heritage , including towards the future European Cultural Heritage Cloud . 32 04 03 01 Making the transition to a reliable, sustainable and competitive energy system Add the following text: Attention shall be paid to helping to close the research and innovation divide in Europe, without undermining the excellence criteria. 32 02 77 12 Preparatory action — Establishing comprehensive support for coal and carbon-intensive regions in transition Add the following text: — set up a cross-DG team to (a) identify areas of possible Union policy/programme synergies with a view to ensuring the most effective financial and policy support post-2020; (b) assist regions (central and local authorities) in developing sustainable transition strategies by providing more targeted tools for intra-regional exchanges on best practices, including on comprehensive roadmaps for low-emission reindustrialisation . — refocus existing stakeholder fora, including social dialogue and dialogue with civil society in general, on establishing just transition and economic strategies, — provide additional financial support, on top of existing funding schemes without redeployment from other programmes, for the establishment of regional/local just transition roadmaps towards EU carbon neutrality by 2050 in the regions and communities most affected. Extra funding should also support existing or future territorial/community projects that are based on the involvement of workers and communities affected through consultation and empowerment. — strengthen the Platform for Coal Regions in Transition and its Secretariat (established by the preparatory action in 2018 and continued in 2019) in order to achieve the EU’s climate goals and fulfil its commitments under the Paris Agreement, while ensuring a just energy transition in which coal regions are not left behind, by providing an increased budget in 2020 and extending the scope of the action to: — further technical assistance and capacity building in coal and carbon intensive regions in the EU in areas such as strategy preparation, project development, project financing and private investment facilitation (there were 20 pilot regions participating in the EU initiative as of March 2019, compared with four regions in 2017); — engagement with Energy Community members and observers on coal regions in transition by organising regional outreach in cooperation with international financial institutions and international partners; — development of a social dimension to the Platform for Coal Regions in Transition, applying best social innovation practices: reskilling and upskilling of workers and programmes for young people and retired miners. 34 02 01 Reducing Union greenhouse gas emissions Add the following text: As regards integrated projects, a distributional element in the selection of projects to facilitate geographical balance shall be taken into account.

2. Statements

2.1 Joint statement by the European Parliament, Council and Commission on the funding of EASO

The European Parliament and the Council take note of the Commission’s intention to review the funding requirements of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EASO) for the financial year 2020, once the legislative proposal of 12 September 2018 to reinforce the Agency’s operational support capabilities is adopted

The European Parliament and the Council undertake to treat a possible request for a reinforcement of the EU contribution to EASO in 2020, which may require a budget authority transfer or a draft amending budget, with due regard for its urgency.

2.2. Joint statement by the European Parliament, Council and Commission on the payment appropriations

The European Parliament and the Council recall the need to ensure, in the light of implementation, an orderly progression of payments in relation to the appropriations for commitments so as to avoid any abnormal level of unpaid invoices at year-end.

The European Parliament and the Council call on the Commission to continue closely and actively monitoring the implementation of the 2014-2020 programmes (particularly in sub-heading 1b and Rural Development). To that end, they invite the Commission to present, in a timely manner, updated figures concerning the state of implementation and estimates regarding 2020 payment appropriations.

If the figures show that the appropriations entered in the 2020 budget are insufficient to cover the needs, the European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission to present as soon as possible an appropriate solution, inter alia an amending budget, to allow the Budgetary Authority to take any decisions necessary in due time for justified needs. Where applicable, the European Parliament and the Council will take into account the urgency of the matter. For the Council, this could entail shortening the eight-week period for a decision if deemed necessary.

2.3 Joint statement by the European Parliament, Council and Commission on the Youth Employment Initiative

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission recall that reducing youth unemployment remains a high and shared political priority, and to this end they reaffirm their determination to make the best possible use of budgetary resources available to tackle it, and in particular through the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI).

The European Parliament and the Council invite the Commission to observe closely the implementation trend of this initiative and to submit a report before 30 June 2020.

Should the Commission assessment confirm the need for an increase of the YEI, the Commission will present in parallel a draft amending budget increasing the YEI specific allocation by EUR 50 million.

The Council and the European Parliament undertake to process swiftly any such draft amending budget for 2020 put forward by the Commission.

2.4. Unilateral statement by the Commission on the Youth Employment Initiative

The increase of the YEI specific allocation requires a technical amendment of the Common Provisions Regulation.

As was the case in the previous years, this amendment will be strictly limited to the modifications necessary to accommodate the additional YEI envelope and will have no impact on the implementation of the cohesion policy.

2.5. Unilateral statement by the Commission on getting closer to the 20 % climate-related spending target during 2014-2020

The Commission will monitor closely the implementation of the budget in the course of the year 2020. In case of under-implementation in the relevant headings, the Commission will make the appropriate budgetary proposals to reinforce climate-related expenditure where possible.
