Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories

SEC(2009)531

SEC(2009)532

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

(1) As part of the reform of external action financial instruments for 2007-2013, replacing more than 30 different legal instruments with seven new ones, Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of 18 December 2006 established the Development Cooperation Instrument (hereinafter DCI) for geographical cooperation with countries in Asia, Central Asia, and Latin America, plus Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and South Africa.

(2) The primary and overarching objective of the DCI is the eradication of poverty through the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals. The Regulation therefore provides that measures for geographic programmes should fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) set by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (DAC/OECD).

(3) This limited scope is not conducive to engaging with important bilateral partners and players in multilateral fora and in global governance with whom the Community has a strategic interest in promoting diversified links. It is in the Community’s interest to further deepen its relation with countries which are both developing and major partners in the world economy, such as India, China, Brazil and Mexico. Community interests go also beyond poverty eradication in regions like Central Asia and the Middle East (Iraq, Iran, and Yemen), in particular as regards energy security and public diplomacy. Finally, most of Asia and Latin America, as well as South Africa, is also made up of middle-income countries interested in engaging in economic, commercial, academic, business and scientific exchanges with the European Union.

(4) For that reason, the Commission is proposing to follow up the Preparatory Actions set up through the 2007 and 2008 budget procedures, with legislative proposals to introduce stable financing for such cooperation and for measures that do not meet the criteria for Official Development Assistance.

(5) Since the objective is similar to that pursued under Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006, it is proposed to extend the geographical scope of the latter to countries covered by the DCI Regulation, and to add a reference amount for such cooperation of EUR 176 million for the 2010-2013 period.

(6) The review of the implementation of external action financial instruments has identified inconsistencies in the provisions that exclude costs relating to taxes, duties or other charges as ineligible. For the sake of consistency, it is proposed to bring these provisions into line with the other instruments.

(7) The proposal is accompanied by an Impact Assessment to ensure compatibility between the relevant Community policies.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 181a thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Whereas:

(1) Since 2007 the Community has streamlined its geographical cooperation with developing countries in Asia, Central Asia, and Latin America and with Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and South Africa under Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI). [1]

(2) The primary and overarching objective of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 is the eradication of poverty through the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals. The scope of cooperation for the geographic programmes with developing countries, territories and regions established under the Regulation is furthermore limited materially to financing measures designed to fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) set by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (DAC/OECD).

(3) It is in the Community’s interests to further deepen its relations with the developing countries concerned, which are important bilateral partners and players in multilateral fora and in global governance with whom the Community has a strategic interest in promoting diversified links, in particular in areas such as economic, commercial, academic, business and scientific exchanges. It therefore needs a financial instrument that allows the financing of such measures which, by their nature, do not qualify as Official Development Assistance.

(4) For that purpose, four Preparatory Actions were set up in the 2007 and 2008 budget procedures to initiate such enhanced cooperation in accordance with point (b) of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities; [2] business and scientific exchanges with India; business and scientific exchanges with China; cooperation with middle-income group countries in Asia; and cooperation with middle-income group countries in Latin America. Under the same Article of the Financial Regulation, the legislative procedure further to Preparatory Actions must be concluded before the end of the third financial year.

(5) The objectives and provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 of 21 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories [3] are appropriate to pursue such enhanced cooperation with countries falling under Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. For that purpose, it is necessary to extend the geographical scope of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 and to provide for a financial envelope to cover cooperation with those developing countries.

(6) The review of implementation of the external action financial instruments has identified inconsistencies in the provisions that exclude costs relating to taxes, duties or other charges as ineligible. For the sake of consistency, it is proposed to bring those provisions into line with the other instruments.

(7) Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 is amended as follows:

(1) The title of the Regulation is replaced by the following:

“Council Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 of 21 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories, and with developing countries falling under (EC) Regulation No 1905/2006.”

5. CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES

Details of the context of the proposal are required in the Explanatory Memorandum. This section of the Legislative Financial Statement should include the following specific complementary information:

5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term

The legislative proposal is accompanied by an Impact Assessment detailing the needs to be met.

This proposal is a legislative follow-up to the Preparatory Actions (PAs) which have been set up through the budget procedures 2007 and 2008. It aims to fill the legislative gap as regards the limited scope of the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) covering the geographical cooperation with countries in Asia, Central Asia, Latin America, and with Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and South Africa.

The envelope has been assessed at €176 million.

The four Preparatory Actions over 2007-2009 have been financed from the margin at the initiative of the budget authority. Activities relating to the follow-up of these actions amount to €67.5 million. The other needs to be covered (€108.5 million) relate to the mobility for EU students under Erasmus Mundus and activities foreseen under the DCI envelope but not eligible because of its limited scope as regards Official Development Assistance eligibility (e.g. visibility programmes, technical assistance in energy-related areas).

5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergy

The geographical extension of the ICI Regulation will allow further engaging with important bilateral partners and players in multilateral fora and in global governance, and with which the Community has a strategic interest in promoting diversified links. It is in the Community’s interests to further deepen its relation with countries which are both developing and major powers in the world economy, such as India, China, Brazil, or South Africa. Community’s interests go also beyond poverty eradication in regions like Central Asia and Middle East, in particular as regards energy security and public diplomacy. Finally, most of Asia and Latin America are also Middle-Income Countries interested to engage with the European Union into exchanges going beyond the Official Development Assistance.

5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM framework

The proposed regulation will fund programmes and projects which meet the following main operational objectives:

Objective 1:

· Promotion of economic partnership and business in EU interests

Objective 2:

· People to people links/education cooperation

Objective 3:

· Public diplomacy and outreach

· Dialogues

· Cooperation projects which do not fulfil the ODA criteria

19 09:

· Improved European access to Latin American markets by European business, industry and research communities.
