Maintain the level of 2014-2020 funding for several EU programmes (e.g. nuclear decommissioning, cooperation with the overseas countries and territories (OCTs)), including those for which it is proposed that they be merged into larger programmes (e.g. assistance for the most deprived, health, consumer rights) and for which the Commission proposal thus represents a reduction in real terms; xxiii. Set, subject to the above-mentioned changes, the financial envelopes of all other programmes at the level proposed by the Commission, including for CEF-Energy, CEF-Digital, the Digital Europe programme, the European Defence Fund and humanitarian aid;
