Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the signing and provisional application of an Agreement between the European Commission and the Swiss Confederation establishing the terms and conditions for the participation of the Swiss Confederation in the ‘Youth in Action’ programme and in the action programme in the field of lifelong learning (2007-2013)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Following the results of the 1992 referendum, rejecting Switzerland's participation in the EEA Agreement, Switzerland showed continued interest in strengthening cooperation with the EU in the education, training and youth sector. In a joint declaration on future negotiations attached to the seven agreements signed on 21 June 1999 by the European Community and Switzerland, the two parties stated that preparatory work for negotiations on Swiss participation in training and youth programmes should proceed rapidly after conclusion of the seven agreements.

This area of cooperation was indeed broached during the next cycle of bilateral negotiations. Since the education, training and youth programmes which were in force in the 2000-2006 period (Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth) did not provide for the participation of Switzerland in their legal basis, it was agreed to postpone the negotiation of a participation agreement until after the adoption of the programmes succeeding them.

The Decisions of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 establishing the ‘Youth in Action’ programme[1] and the action programme in the field of lifelong learning[2] for the period 2007 to 2013 provided for the possible participation of Switzerland.

In February 2008 the Council authorised the opening of negotiations with Switzerland for its participation in the two programmes. On the basis of the negotiating directives attached to the Council Decision authorising the opening of negotiations, and in consultation with the relevant committee appointed by the Council, the Commission has conducted negotiations with Switzerland for a new Agreement allowing its participation in the two programmes.

The draft Agreement was initialled on 6 August 2009. It is attached to the proposed Council Decision.

Switzerland is the only European country due to take part in these programmes without being a member of the EEA, a candidate country or a potential candidate country.

The main issues addressed in the draft Agreement are the following:

- Projects and initiatives submitted by participants from Switzerland will be subject to the same conditions, rules and procedures pertaining to these programmes as are applied to Member States, regarding in particular the submission, assessment and selection of applications and projects, the responsibilities of the national structures in the implementation of the programmes, and the activities related to the monitoring of their participation in the programmes.

- Switzerland will make an annual financial contribution to each programme, as established in Annex II to the Agreement.

- As regards financial control and audit matters, Switzerland will conform to Community provisions, including controls by Community bodies and controls carried out by the Swiss authorities, as established in Annex III.

- The Agreement will apply until the programmes come to an end, or until one of the parties notifies the other party of its wish to terminate the Agreement. The Agreement may be extended automatically if the programmes are extended without change.

- The Agreement reflects a political link with the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons signed on 21 June 1999 by ruling out an extension in the event of the termination of the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons.

In accordance with the arrangements made for agreements previously concluded on Switzerland's participation in other Community programmes, a Council Declaration covers questions concerning the attendance of Swiss representatives at programme committee meetings, as observers, for the points which concern Switzerland.

The Commission considers the results of the negotiations satisfactory and is submitting to the Council a proposal for a Decision on the signing, on behalf of the European Community, of the Agreement between the Community and the Swiss Confederation establishing the terms and conditions for the participation of the Swiss Confederation in the ‘Youth in Action’ programme and the action programme in the field of lifelong learning (2007-2013).

The Agreement and the proposed Decision on its signature provide that, pending completion of the ratification and conclusion procedures, it shall apply provisionally from the budget year following its signature.

The Council is invited to adopt the following proposal for a Decision.

2. In accordance with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002[9], as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1995/2006 of 13 December 2006[10], and Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002[11], as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 478/2007 of 23 April 2007[12], and with the other rules referred to in this Agreement, the grant agreements concluded with Programme beneficiaries established in Switzerland shall provide for financial or other audits to be conducted at any time on the premises of the beneficiaries or their subcontractors by Commission staff or by other persons mandated by the Commission.

- non-disclosure of information in violation of a specific obligation, with the same effect,

- the misapplication of such funds for purposes other than those for which they are originally granted.

2. The Swiss authorities shall take appropriate measures to prevent and counter any corrupt practices – active or passive – at any stage of the procurement or grant award procedures or during implementation of the corresponding agreements.

Passive corruption is defined as the deliberate action of an official who, directly or through an intermediary, requests or receives advantages of any kind whatsoever, for himself or a third party, or accepts a promise of such advantage, to act or to refrain from acting in accordance with his duty or in the exercise of his functions in breach of his official duties in a way which damages or is likely to damage the European Communities' financial interests.

Such information may not be communicated to persons other than those within the Community institutions or in the Member States or Switzerland whose functions require them to know it, nor may it be used for purposes other than to ensure effective protection of the Parties' financial interests.

IV. Administrative measures and penalties

Without prejudice to application of Swiss criminal law, administrative measures and penalties may be imposed by the Commission in accordance with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002, as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1995/2006 of 13 December 2006, with Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002, as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 478/2007 of 23 April 2007, and with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2988/95 of 18 December 1995[14] on the protection of the European Communities' financial interests .

V. Recovery

For indirect centralised management measures, the Swiss National Agency shall be responsible for issuing requests for the recovery of funds and for implementing any legal action required regarding beneficiaries in consultation with the Commission. In the event of irregularity, negligence or fraud attributable to the Swiss National Agency, the Swiss authorities shall be responsible for the funds not recovered.

For centralised management measures carried out directly by the Commission, decisions taken by the Commission within the scope of this Agreement which impose a pecuniary obligation on persons other than States shall be enforceable in Switzerland. Enforcement shall be governed by the rules of civil procedure in force in Switzerland. The order for its enforcement shall be appended to the decision, without other formality than verification of the authenticity of the decision by the authority which the Government of Switzerland shall designate for this purpose and shall make known to the Commission. When these formalities have been completed on application by the Commission, the latter may proceed to enforcement in accordance with the national law, by bringing the matter directly before the competent authority. The legality of the Commission decision shall be subject to control by the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

Judgments given by the Court of Justice of the European Communities pursuant to an arbitration clause in a contract within the scope of this Agreement shall be enforceable on the same terms.
