Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in the sugar sector (OJ L 177,
1. 7. 1981, p. 4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 133/94 (OJ L 22, 27. 1. 1994, p. 7).

Under the common organization of the market in the sugar sector, sugar producers pay production levies to cover market support
expenditure.

However, the application of a ceiling to the levies as provided for in Article 28 of basic Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 may lead to their
not fully covering the estimated total loss due to the existence of an exportable surplus calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1 and
2 of the said Regulation.

1 1 5 (cont’d)

Continuation of the existing production quota arrangements for sugar for the current marketing year requires that similar arrangements
be applied to the production of inulin syrup, a direct sustitute for isoglucose and liquid sugar, to prevent this product from disturbing
a market which, because of the surplus, could further increase the export costs of sugar and isoglucose producers alone.

ANNEX

EUROPEAN OMBUDSMAN

The European Ombudsman took up his duties on 1 September 1995. Pursuant to Article 16 of
the regulations governing the European Ombudsman,
the Secretariat of the European
Parliament supplied the human resources and assumed responsibility for administrative
expenditure on behalf of the European Ombudsman during the ﬁnancial years 1995 and 1996.

For the 1998 ﬁnancial year, as in 1997, the budget of the European Ombudsman covers all his
operating costs, while avoiding unnecessary duplication in terms of staff and expenditure with
the European Parliament’s Secretariat.

This appropriation is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans granted from the appropriations in
Chapters B7-4 0 and B7-4 1 of the statement of expenditure in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which
may still be disbursed during the preceding ﬁnancial year as well as during the current ﬁnancial year. The interest on special loans and
risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments and interest
on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

Particular attention is devoted to making places available to trainees from ACP and Latin American and Asian developing countries
in the run-up to the internal market.

The Commission must ensure that the selection of trainees is based on objective, transparent criteria and reﬂects a geographical balance.

In the ﬁrst half of 1998, the Commission shall submit a report on the general situation with regard to implementation of the various
sections of the Structural Funds, proposing to the budgetary authority the adjustments or increases necessary to bring the ﬁnancial
planning arrangements into line with actual take-up capacity.

In line with the Commission’s communication COM(95) 0273 and the results of the Madrid European Council, there should be special

are invited to establish in the framework of a Community initiative concerning the most remote regions (Regis II) (OJ C 180, 1. 7. 1994,
p. 44).
This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of Community initiative programmes making a contribution to the solution of the
problems of the most remote regions (Regis II).
In view of the worrying unemployment levels in the regions concerned, ﬁnancial priority will be given to actions in favour of human

Article 130r of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be
integrated into the deﬁnition and implementation of other Community policies.

Consequently, appropriations for the Structural Funds cannot be implemented unless the measures ﬁnanced by these Funds comply with
the provisions of the Treaties and the acts adopted pursuant thereto, in particular those concerning environmental protection, as
stipulated in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88.

They should be accompanied by an environmental impact commentary according to the principles of the Commission’s letter of intent
of 8 December 1995.

To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty and an environmental compliance clause for projects involving more than ECU 50 000 000. The Commission must set
up a Task Force for Green Technology with responsibility for establishing a European environment network in close collaboration with
national administrations. The list of projects which have been veriﬁed must be forwarded to the budgetary authority and published in
the Offıcial Journal of the European Communities.

Commission communication of 21 February 1996 ‘Incorporating equal opportunities for women and men into all Community policies

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of Community initiative programmes making a contribution to the solution of the

Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93, measures ﬁnanced by the Structural Funds shall be in line with Community
policy on the application of the principle of equal opportunities for men and women.

It should be ensured that the Community initiative is administered in conjunction with regional subsidy schemes so as to mobilize the
innovative potential of bottom-up projects rather than thwarting it. In addition to the network of Leader projects, additional subsidy
instruments should be created to support independent local projects and networks based primarily on sustainable rural development
concepts in accordance with the criteria of the Local Agenda 21.

Commission communication of 21 February 1996 ‘Incorporating equal opportunities for women and men into all Community policies
and activities’ (COM(96) 67 ﬁnal).

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of measures decided upon in accordance with the abovementioned Regulations,
in particular in application of Articles 7 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and the payment of previous commitments under this
article.

A sum of ECU 200 000 is earmarked for the expenditure involved in setting up, maintaining and developing the common informatics
architecture (Arinco), including connections with the national and regional government departments responsible for coordinating
measures over a given territory.

Article 130r of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be
integrated into the deﬁnition and implementation of other Community policies.

Consequently, appropriations for the Structural Funds cannot be implemented unless the measures ﬁnanced by these Funds comply with
the provisions of the Treaties and the acts adopted pursuant thereto, in particular those concerning environmental protection, as
stipulated in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88. They should be accompanied by an environmental impact commentary
according to the principles of the Commission’s letter of intent of 8 December 1995.
This appropriation also covers the ﬁnancing of studies, analyses, organizational measures, meetings to disseminate information and
exchange experiences and the examination of the best forms and methods of implementation, monitoring and control of the
environmental aspects of the abovementioned budget headings by the Commission and the Member States and is intended to guarantee,
by means of the application of the principle of sustainable development, the inclusion of environmental protection in all Community
policies in order to ensure that the environmental impact of Community measures is taken into account before any appropriations are
paid.
To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty and an environmental compliance clause for projects involving more than ECU 50 000 000. The Commission must set
up a Task Force for Green Technology with responsibility for establishing a European environment network in close collaboration with
national administrations. The list of projects which have been veriﬁed must be forwarded to the budgetary authority and published in
the Offıcial Journal of the European Communities.
Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93, measures ﬁnanced by the Structural Funds shall be in line with Community
policy on the application of the principle of equal opportunities for men and women.
This appropriation furthermore covers funding for measures carried out by associations promoted by local bodies whose purpose is to
combat sectoral industrial crises or to diversify economic activities in areas heavily dependent on a single economic activity (such as
ACTE and Recevin). These associations must have members belonging to at least three European Union Member States.

Commission communication of 21 February 1996 ‘Incorporating equal opportunities for women and men into all Community policies
and activities’ (COM(96) 67 ﬁnal).

In addition to ﬁnancing measures launched in the period 1975 to 1993 or still to be launched under regulations then in force, this
appropriation is intended to cover transitional measures and innovation schemes.

Article 130r of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be
integrated into the deﬁnition and implementation of other Community policies.

Consequently, appropriations for the Structural Funds cannot be implemented unless the measures ﬁnanced by these Funds comply with
the provisions of the Treaties and the acts adopted pursuant thereto, in particular those concerning environmental protection, as
stipulated in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88.

They should be accompanied by an environmental impact commentary according to the principles of the Commission’s letter of intent
of 8 December 1995.
To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty and an environmental compliance clause for projects involving more than ECU 50 000 000. The Commission must set
up a Task Force for Green Technology with responsibility for establishing a European environment network in close collaboration with
national administrations. The list of projects which have been veriﬁed must be forwarded to the budgetary authority and published in
the Offıcial Journal of the European Communities.
Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93, measures ﬁnanced by the Structural Funds shall be in line with Community
policy on the application of the principle of equal opportunities for men and women.
This appropriation is also intended to cover payments under measures decided on under Regulation (EEC) No 3575/90 and payments
against previous commitments due to Article B2-2 1 0 concerning the ﬁnancing of studies, analyses, pilot and innovatory projects,
organizational measures, meetings for the dissemination of information and exchange of experience and an examination of the best
forms and methods of preparation, monitoring and control by the Commission.

All large projects ﬁnanced under the Cohesion Fund must be covered by a prior environmental impact assessment.

The Commission will compare, in its quarterly reports on the implementation of the budget and in the administrative accounts for the
ﬁnancial year 1998, the utilization of appropriations, by Member State and monitoring measure, with the above forecasts.
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on controls which the Commission will carry out on EAGGF expenditure using
all means likely to avoid undue payment and, in particular, by means of on-the-spot checks, such as expenditure on the technical
improvement of such controls (electronic data transmission, remote sensing, etc.).
It also covers Commission enquiries and checks in the Member States so as to verify that Community rules are being applied correctly
in order to ensure a uniform and correct application of agricultural regulations and in particular those involving Community ﬁnancing
(e.g. the grading of carcases, the water content of chicken carcases, surveys of vineyard areas, etc.).
A further ECU 2 500 000 is earmarked to cover expenditure on the monitoring of animal protection provisions during the transport
of animals for slaughter inside and outside the European Union.
This article also covers the veriﬁcation of expenditure of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guidance Section,
by all means likely to prevent any undue payment.

European Parliament resolution of 20 January 1989 on small-scale ﬁsheries (OJ C 47, 27. 2. 1989, p. 173).

The social and economic importance of small-scale coastal ﬁshing for the Community’s disadvantaged island and coastal regions
justiﬁes this initiative in the context of structural operations for this sector under the common ﬁsheries policy, in accordance with the
European Parliament resolution of 20 January 1989.
This appropriation is intended to ﬁnance pilot projects to guarantee the survival of the small-scale ﬁshing industry. Before the end of
the second year following the launch of this measure, the Commission should assess the advisability of submitting a proposal for a legal
basis.
This appropriation also covers the funding of actions aimed at setting up regional and national forums or associations whose economic
basis is the ﬁsheries sector, especially small-scale coastal ﬁshing. These associations shall be national in scope, based on the pooling
of experience, and shall become discussion forums for the problems of small-scale coastal ﬁshing and Community policy for the sector.
Funding shall be targeted on information and awareness-raising initiatives and on local promotion and development projects, with the
aim of preserving small-scale coastal ﬁsheries and traditional ﬁsheries, and passive gear and the regional cultural values associated with
this type of ﬁsheries, as well as the development and integration of the commercial and industrial sectors. Projects may be submitted
by regional bodies, non-governmental organizations and ﬁshermen’s associations.

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 49, 126 and 127 thereof.
This appropriation is intended to ﬁnance speciﬁc measures in the educational ﬁeld in preparation for developments within the
framework of European cooperation on education.
It also covers the funding of various measures in the ﬁelds of education and youth policy, in addition to the measures covered by the

13 March 1997 on the information society, culture and education (OJ C 115, 14. 4. 1997, p. 151).
It also covers measures to encourage access by young people, especially women, to technological training courses and measures
intended to support parental involvement in education at European level. An amount of at least ECU 100 000 is intended to help ensure
that parents can be involved, and given relevant training, in education at European level, and to involve them in measures to combat
violence in schools and academic failure.

A minimum amount of ECU 320 000 is intended to support the measure ‘Parliaments representing the youth of Europe’ in various
regions of the European Union, on the basis of a call for proposals to be assessed and processed by March 1998. Priority will be given
to initiatives which actively promote and encourage participation by young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
All projects beneﬁting from appropriations under this heading will be required to show clearly on all information and literature that
they have received ﬁnancial support from the European Union.
A maximum amount of ECU 250 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 126 to 128 thereof.
Decision No .../97/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community action programme in the ﬁeld of
cultural heritage — The Raphael programme (OJ L ..., ..., p. ...).
This appropriation is intended to cover Community contributions to measures for the conservation, protection and development of the
European cultural heritage, in addition to national funding, as proposed in the Raphael programme.
It also covers preparatory measures for the Raphael programme and, pending its ﬁnal approval, ﬁnances the pilot projects to be carried
out on the basis of priorities, action areas and arrangements identical to those laid down by the programme.
When allocating funds, the Commission shall ensure that a geographical balance is observed within the Community.
These pilot projects break down in the main as follows:
— encouragement for measures to develop European cultural heritage (buildings, monuments and artefacts, archaeology, museums and

collections, archives, underwater heritage, etc.) through speciﬁc projects organized into ﬁve main headings:
— action in connection with ‘major’ or ‘exceptional’ heritage, including measures under way (Acropolis, Mount Athos, Chiado,

Coimbra, Santiago de Compostela, Burgos Cathedral),

— measures to maintain and conserve town centres classiﬁed by Unesco as world heritage sites,

— support for European heritage workshops (former pilot projects) on common themes developed at national, local or regional

level, but possibly also covering heritage relating to buildings, monuments and artefacts,

— development of standards/methods concerning conservation practices developed by international professional organizations

(e.g. documentation on cultural assets, loans of works, conservation, etc.),
— culture-centred projects and studies complementing other Community activities,

— support for networks and partnerships in order to strengthen transnational cooperation and to promote exchanges and pooling

of experience between professionals, institutes, museums and other heritage institutions,

— drawing up of guides and inventories and support for networks facilitating distribution via modern communications media and

other advanced technologies (CD-ROM, CD-I, etc.),

— support for measures facilitating European Union citizens’ access to heritage (European Heritage days, Europe Day on 9 May,
the Mies Van Der Rohe Prize for Architecture, multilingual presentations in museums and at sites and monuments, prizes for
architecture) and for the use of advanced technologies (database interconnection, development of multimedia products, studies
and seminars on aspects relating to this area),

— support for identifying research problems and for disseminating ﬁndings (encouragement for organizing conferences, colloquia and

seminars) enabling experts to exchange information on best practices and possible innovations,

— support for exchanges and in-service training of heritage professionals in Europe,

— support for cooperation with third countries and international organizations, in particular the Council of Europe and Unesco
(support for projects to preserve and/or restore cultural heritage; assistance for them to take part in professionals’ networks and in
measures to facilitate their citizens’ access to cultural heritage),

All projects beneﬁting from appropriations under this item will be required to show clearly on all information and literature that they
have received ﬁnancial support from the European Union.

A maximum amount of ECU 350 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information

by the programme, in particular:
— grants for the translation of contemporary literary works (novels, short stories, literary essays, literary histories, biographies, plays
and poetry etc.) that are representative of the culture of their country and likely to appeal to a broad European audience, priority
being given to translation from and into the less widely used languages.

— grants for the translation of works of drama that have already been performed on stage or broadcast in the audiovisual media and
have already received some critical or popular acclaim. The works proposed for translation must be based on a speciﬁc plan for
an actual public performance,

— grants for the translation of reference works with a view to facilitating exchanges of information and pooling of experience and

fostering cooperation between Member States in the areas referred to in Article 128 of the Treaty,
— organization of the European Literature Prize and the European Prize for Literature (Aristeion Prize),
— promoting literary translation of a high standard, pooling of experience and expertise between professional translators,
— developing partnership initiatives aimed at facilitating access to the information needed for the dissemination of translated works,

in particular through the use of new technologies and multimedia tools,

— selective measures to support efforts to promote reading, particularly where these help to spread knowledge, via translation, of the

literature of different countries and regions of the Community,

— support for pilot and innovatory projects with a European dimension aimed at promoting reading and European literature among

young people,

— grants and allowances to cover the costs of travel for literary translators and advanced training courses,

— cultural cooperation with non-member countries in accordance with the various agreements including cultural clauses,

— technical assistance for the programme.

It also covers the pilot inter-library cooperation measures and measures to raise awareness of books and reading, and the measures
planned under the Gutenberg programme.

All projects beneﬁting from appropriations under this item will be required to show clearly on all information and literature that they
have received ﬁnancial support from the European Union

A maximum amount of ECU 140 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 128 (3) thereof.

This appropriation is intended to cover Community funding of cooperation measures in the Community and with third countries to
supplement the measures provided for under the Kaleidoscope and Raphael programmes which cannot be covered by those
programmes. The aim is to support cultural initiatives and events as well as measures for the conservation, protection and restoration
of movable and immovable heritage items as well as European umbrella organizations.

This appropriation breaks down as follows:

1. Artistic projects covering in a balanced manner the various branches of the arts, especially to encourage young people, and projects

to preserve the European cultural heritage: ECU 4 100 000.

In the ﬁeld of cultural heritage, support will be given to measures to raise awareness, with the aim of facilitating access by the public
to culture and cultural heritage, as well as measures designed to establish networks and partnerships in the Member States.

In the ﬁeld of artistic projects, preference will be given to organizations which fulﬁl several of the following criteria:

(a) organizations, foundations or groups whose projects actively encourage and promote participation by young people, with particular

attention given to those from underprivileged and multicultural backgrounds;

(b) organizations, foundations or groups whose projects raise the proﬁle of the European Union;

(c) organizations, foundations or groups whose projects provide training to enhance employment opportunities;

(d) organizations, foundations or groups whose projects are based in regions, not in capital cities;

(e) organizations, foundations or groups which have demonstrated experience in the project area.

In the arts, the appropriations earmarked for music projects will be allocated to various ﬁelds of music, such as jazz, opera, classical
and choral, with the aim of increasing access for the general public.

This appropriation is also intended to fund a prize (to be presented and awarded in the European city of culture) which will enable the
successful work to be distributed and promoted throughout the European Union.

Organizations, foundations or musical groups whose projects beneﬁt from this appropriation must have members from at least four
Member States.

2. Support for European umbrella organizations in the ﬁeld of art, culture and heritage, with a minimum amount of ECU 150 000 being

allocated to each of these organizations: ECU 800 000.

These organizations must provide a platform for discussion on European cultural policy issues within their sector and contribute to the
development of European cultural policy in the European Union; they must be organized in such a way as to be democratically
accountable to their members; they must create substantive links between the sector they represent and the institutions of the European
Union; they must represent a signiﬁcant proportion of organizations in the relevant cultural sector in Europe; they must have
demonstrated experience in the project area at European level.
3. A feasibility study to allow Member States to put their national cultural collections into digital form in order to contribute to the
creation of a European millennium archive with free access for educational institutions and libraries (as called for in the European
Parliament resolution of 13 March 1997 on the information society, culture and education) (OJ C 115, 14. 4. 1997, p. 151): ECU
500 000.

4. Cooperation measures with international organizations, in particular the Council of Europe and Unesco, and non-associated third

countries: ECU 600 000.

For the sake of transparency, sound management and budgetary control, the ﬁrst three categories will be subject to a call for proposals
procedure to be launched promptly, and a report on this will be submitted to the European Parliament before the end of February 1998.
In the selection of projects and organizations, the European dimension will be of paramount importance. Except for the European
umbrella organizations, funding is reserved for speciﬁc projects and not for administrative or operational expenditure.
70 % of the appropriations are to be paid within three months of approval. No amount allocated will be under ECU 50 000.
All projects beneﬁting from appropriations under this item will be required to show clearly on all information and literature that they
have received ﬁnancial support from the European Union.
In 1998, the Commission will produce a report for the European Parliament evaluating the projects and organizations supported with
these appropriations.

Proposal for a Council Decision, submitted by the Commission on 14 November 1995, establishing a European Guarantee Fund to
promote cinema and television production (COM(95) 546 ﬁnal).
This item is administered by an ad hoc ﬁnancial structure within the EIF, in which the European institutions and external partners (risk
assessment analysts specializing in the sector) are represented. This structure will be assisted, for the analysis of ﬁles, by experts from
the audiovisual sector.
Every time a project is guaranteed by the Fund and yields proﬁts, a commission of 5 %, before tax, shall be paid to the Fund.

The initial budget commitment is limited to ﬁve years, at the end of which an assessment or even a revision will be carried out.

A study will be carried out comparing various systems of support for cinema and television production both within and outside the
Community and, in particular, the effectiveness of systems which emphasize aid to production and those which emphasize aid to
distribution.

Remarks

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 126 and 127 thereof.
This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of general information and permanent communication measures concerning the
European Union implemented jointly by the European institutions and designed to provide European citizens with information about
Europe. The European Union’s information and communication policy must take duly into account the differing views and philosophies
with regard to the European integration process.
These multi-faceted information and discussion measures include opinion-polling, impact assessment, visits, publications, audiovisual
productions, documentary and computerized information activities and Europe-wide operations directed at speciﬁc target audiences
such as young people or women, decentralized operations to meet the speciﬁc needs of given countries or regions and representational
duties in political circles.
A minimum amount of 30 % of the appropriation entered against this article is intended for coordinating the information activities
implemented by the European Union at an interinstitutional level, in order to set up a European Information System with a view to
better value for money and communication with citizens according to guidelines to be drawn up in the framework of an
interinstitutional dialogue at the highest level of the European Parliament and the Commission.
A maximum amount of ECU 2 000 000 is intended to pay for television information broadcasts on the European Union and its
institutions provided by Euronews on the basis of an information contract.
These measures will be aimed at public opinion in general, opinion-leaders and speciﬁc target groups (including women and young
people) in order to foster a better understanding of the objectives and reality of European integration and the methods used to achieve
it, in a context of dialogue between the institutions, ﬁrms and citizens.
The Commission will be assisted by an advisory working party comprising representatives of the European Parliament and the
Commission — the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities — chaired by the Commission.
The Commission will submit to the working party for its opinion the annual ongoing information work programme.

A maximum amount of ECU 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these measures or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April
1992).

— the ﬁnancing of information and documentation outlets (EDC, DEP, Info Points, national information centres and rural information
forums) and the European Journalism Centre in Maastricht to meet the growing public demand for information about the
Community’s work. Such outlets, in the form of public or private organizations or combinations of the two, back up the work of
the Commission’s offices in the Member States.

The Commission is assisted by an advisory working party comprising representatives of Parliament and the Commission — the
Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities, chaired by the Commission.

Remarks

This appropriation is to cover the cost of ﬁnancing measures designed to enhance the effect that the Community’s work has on public
opinion in non-member countries. This will involve greater efforts to respond, inform and communicate and to promote the image of
the Community in the eyes of a number of strategic target audiences and opinion leaders — in particular women and young people
— using the same instruments and techniques as within the Community. Measures to promote the Community shall be targeted, inter
alia, at universities and schools, chambers of commerce and industry, trade unions and professional and trade bodies of states associated
with the European Union.
This appropriation is also intended to ﬁnance the ‘European Union Visitors Programme’ (EUVP) (ECU 500 000).
In 1998, the Commission will produce a report for the European Parliament on the effectiveness of the EUVP in promoting interest in
the European Union.

A maximum amount of ECU 100 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the Jean Monnet programme — European integration in universities; the
programme aims to consolidate the notions of European economic and monetary union and political union by encouraging universities

A ﬁnancial contribution of ECU 400 000 is earmarked for the academic monitoring of the Jean Monnet programme for the European
University Council.
A maximum amount of ECU 100 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.
These measures must be regarded not as propaganda but as an effective channel for communication and dialogue between European
Union citizens and the Community institutions. Part of this appropriation must be earmarked for the establishment of such dialogue.

These priority measures must take account of speciﬁc national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State
authorities, and target strategic audiences, such as women and young people.

This appropriation is also intended to pay for television information broadcasts on these priority information measures provided by
Euronews on the basis of an information contract for a value of ECU 1 250 000.

The ‘Euro’ campaign will speciﬁcally include, following the Treaty of Amsterdam, a heavy emphasis on employment and its relation
to the single currency.

The ‘Building Europe Together’ campaign will give information on the modiﬁcations brought about by the Treaty of Amsterdam and
on the reaction of the European Parliament to this Treaty, but will concentrate on the themes which European citizens, according to
the polls, are most interested in and concerned with, such as consumer and environmental issues, at the same time emphasizing the
importance of the cultural dimension to the European integration project.

The Commission will be assisted by an advisory working party comprising representatives of the European Parliament and the
Commission — the Working Party on Priority Information Measures — chaired by the Commission.

The Commission will submit to the working party for its opinion the annual programme of priority information measures.

It is also intended to cover pilot projects concerning socially excluded people with disabilities and projects concerning older persons
hit by social exclusion.
Pilot projects concerning disabled people, organized, amongst others, by national and European disability non-governmental
organizations will include:
— transferable pilot projects at local, regional and national level on promotion of full citizenship and equality of opportunity for
disabled people. Projects shall address the economic, social and legal issues set out in the resolution of the Council and of the
representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council of 20 December 1996 on equality of
opportunity for people with disabilities (OJ C 12, 13. 1. 1997, p. 1) and the United Nations Standard Rules on the Equalization of
Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities.

— projects to explore the possibilities for harnessing all aspects of the information society to achieve equal opportunities for disabled

people.

of the European Day of Disabled Persons, including the production of material on the rights of disabled people, the organization
of national information days, the publication of European-wide magazines (including sectoral newsletters) on equal opportunities
for people with disabilities.

To this end not less than 80 % of the appropriation earmarked for these measures will be allocated to organizations in which disabled

disabled people and/or parents of disabled people who are unable to represent themselves shall be in the majority during the planning
and implementation of the above measures.
Pilot projects concerning older people shall in particular address the concept of mainstreaming older people’s issues into other
European Union policy areas.

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 130 (1) fourth indent, 130r, 130s (1) and 235 thereof.
Resolution of the Council and of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting within the Council of 1 February
1993 on a Community programme of policy and action in relation to the environment and sustainable development (OJ C 138,
17. 5. 1993, p. 1).
Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 15 April 1994, concerning a Community programme
providing ﬁnancial support for the promotion of European energy technology 1995 to 1998 (‘Thermie II’) (OJ C 158, 9. 6. 1994, p. 6).
The aim of the Thermie II programme is not only to contribute to the achievement of the energy objectives, but also to implement other
improvement of the competitiveness of European industry,
major Community priorities: completion of the internal market,
improvement of living conditions in rural and urban regions, strengthening of economic and social cohesion and cooperation with third
countries.
This programme provides for the promotion of energy technologies in Europe by demonstrating their economic viability, promotion
of the results of similar projects ﬁnanced through Member States’ programmes or by industry, and assistance for the penetration of
markets in third countries through industrial cooperation (all these activities form part of the current Thermie II programme (1995 to
1998) but not of the fourth RTD framework programme).
The programme concerns the rational use of energy, renewable energy sources and fossil fuels, and ensures the promotion of technology
by means of demonstration and dissemination measures geared to a particular end use in industry, the energy industry, the tertiary sector
and rural energy systems.
This measure should allow the funding of:
— up to 35 % of the eligible cost of demonstration projects,
— measures to promote energy technologies, including dissemination of the results of demonstration projects,
— transfer of energy technologies and industrial cooperation with third countries,
— general support measures, including the assessment of projects and the programme.
For all signiﬁcant projects ﬁnanced by this item, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty.

Community (OJ L 380, 31. 12. 1994, p. 1).
Treaty implementing the European Energy Charter, signed on 17 December 1994 in Lisbon.
Council Regulation (EC) No 701/97 of 14 April 1997 adopting a programme to promote international cooperation in the energy sector
— Synergy programme (OJ L 104, 22. 4. 1997, p. 1).

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 2 October 1997, extending the validity of the programme
to promote international cooperation in the energy sector — Synergy programme — as established by Council Regulation (EC) No
701/97 (OJ C 337, 7. 11. 1997, p. 57).

The purpose of this measure is to promote targeted energy planning, to transfer European experience to the responsible authorities,
institutions and services of non-member countries, to provide training and energy market analyses and to promote industrial cooperation
and exchanges in the energy ﬁeld with third countries, including the countries of central and eastern Europe, the Independent States
of the former Soviet Union, and developing countries, in particular through the implementation of the European Energy Charter and
to promote cooperation and integration on energy between countries in the same part of the world in line with the European Union’s
energy strategy.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on:

— analyses for the main energy-consuming sectors, in order to provide the best possible overview of the potential for saving energy

or introducing renewable energy sources,

— organizing meetings between industrialists in the Community and those in non-member countries and the costs of information

workshops,

— preparatory analyses, to enable European industrialists to carry out joint operations in non-member countries, to evaluate obstacles

and to ﬁnd partners, to set up joint ventures and to evaluate their sources of ﬁnancing,

These operations are also intended to cover improvement of payment systems in the internal market, in particular between Member
States, notably those in which such systems are underdeveloped, and encouragement of use of the ecu in cross-border transactions;
reduction in the cost of, and time needed for, such transactions, taking into account the size of the internal market, notably with a view
to economic and monetary union; development of the technical aspects so as to establish one or more payment systems on the basis
of the follow-up to be given to the Commission communications by participation in technological research projects and pilot schemes,
the granting of seed capital, and assistance in developing infrastructures.

A maximum amount of ECU 5 530 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April

Remarks

Treaty provisions as well as certain Council and European Parliament resolutions and directives require the Commission to act in
various ways in order to study and lay down objectives and actions which deﬁne and implement Community policy in the ﬁeld of
telecommunications and postal services. These actions include initiating analyses, drawing up analyses and progress reports, eliciting
comment from industry and the public, drawing up proposals for legislation, monitoring the application of legislation, ensuring the
timely availability of European standards and the necessary frequency resources on a pan-European basis.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on deﬁnition and implementation of the Community policy on telecommunications
and postal services and to monitor the application of the legislative provisions adopted within the framework of that policy.

In particular, this includes:
— the formulation of a regulatory framework (e.g. deﬁnition of universal service, the harmonization of general principles for access

to network infrastructure),

— ensuring the application of legislation (e.g. the conciliation procedure relating to the application of open network provision to leased

lines),

— measures to ensure network interconnection and interoperability (e.g. through trans-European networks for telecommunications;

ensuring the timely availability of standards),

— the development of markets (e.g. guaranteeing the timely availability of frequency resources and numbering systems in a

harmonized manner),

— measures to ensure Community cohesion (integrating the regions),
— the formulation of a regulatory framework appropriate for the future multimedia environment,
— the development of certain aspects of Community external policy.
This appropriation covers, in particular, contracts for the implementation of the action described above. This relates essentially to
contracts for analysis, expert reports, forward studies, speciﬁc studies, evaluation, coordination, grants, participation in international
agreements and for the co-ﬁnancing of certain measures.
A maximum amount of ECU 2 500 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information
and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part; this excludes
expenditure involved in the management of these measures or in general administration (see the Commission communication of
22 April 1992).

Council Decision 94/217/EC of 19 April 1994 on the provision of Community interest subsidies on loans for small and medium-sized
enterprises extended by the European Investment Bank under its temporary lending facility (OJ L 107, 28. 4. 1994, p. 57).

Proposal for a Council Decision, submitted by the Commission on 10 April 1996, on the provision of loan guarantees for investments
carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises creating employment (COM(96) 155).
This article is intended to give SMEs improved access, at lower cost, to loans for ﬁnancing job-creating investment.
Firstly, it covers interest-rate subsidies (two percentage points per year, for a maximum period of ﬁve years and a maximum principal
of ECU 1 000 000 000) granted by the EIB to SMEs (including cooperatives) in line with the arrangements applicable to loans granted
under the temporary mechanism adopted by the Edinburgh and Copenhagen European Councils. These subsidies are granted only for
investment projects which create jobs.
Secondly, it covers all or part of the costs linked to obtaining loan guarantees from the European Investment Fund (EIF) for job-creating
investment projects carried out by SMEs, preferably those employing 50 or fewer people.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to afford small enterprises greater access to sources of loan ﬁnance, particularly where these loans are
designed to ﬁnance investment in energy savings or in upgrading or complying with environmental standards. It will be used to cover
all or part of the cost of obtaining loan guarantees, notably from the EIF. As the latter works on a commercial basis, it charges a
guarantee premium for its activities. The European Union budget will cover all or part of the cost of the premium.

The beneﬁt of this measure will be limited to small enterprises, preferably employing around 50 persons or less working full time, or
the equivalent in the case of part-time work, and engaged in productive activities (craftworkers, small industry, catering industry,
including the service sector). The action will take the form of an exploratory/pilot project and will be followed by an overall evaluation
of its impact with particular reference to all initiatives to support environmental technologies in the European Union.

The projects concerned must contribute to the reconstruction or improvement of the regional economic and social fabric. This
appropriation, intended for an investor from a new Member State, thus makes it possible to cover the new Member States as a whole.

This appropriation also covers expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information and publications
directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part; this excludes expenditure
involved in the management of these measures or in general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April 1992).

These objectives are geared equally to fostering economic development and creating jobs and to preserving and promoting Europe’s
rich socio-cultural heritage, including its languages, within the new global information society.
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on contracts with a view to the implementation of the programme and the proposed
projects. The contracts in question are, in particular, shared-cost contracts covering the following speciﬁc areas: association, evaluation,
technical operations, coordination, scholarships, grants,
training and mobility of scientiﬁc staff, participation in international
agreements and participation in expenditure on equipment, accompanying and support measures, and in particular studies and measures

— Member States’ tariff and trade statistics, and steel industry statistics,

— management and distribution of Member States’ databases,

— Community policy on the environment.

This appropriation is intended to cover the measures deriving from Regulation (EC) No 322/97 which regards as Community statistics
statistics produced on the basis of existing Community legal acts as well as statistics produced, or to be produced, by the national
authorities and the Community authority pursuant to the framework programme for priority actions in the ﬁeld of statistical
information. The Regulation on Community statistics establishes a legislative framework for the systematic and programmed
production of Community statistics and provides in Article 3 that, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Treaty, the Council
shall adopt a Community statistical programme.

The activity concerns the following areas:

— the statistical infrastructure,

— demographic and social statistics,

— economic statistics:

— macroeconomic statistics,

— business statistics,
— monetary, ﬁnancial, trade and balance of payments statistics,

— agriculture, forestry and ﬁsheries,
— other areas.
This appropriation covers in particular: expenditure on statistical surveys and studies; the speciﬁc aid for national statistical
departments; processing, dissemination, promotion and marketing of statistical information; magnetically recorded statistical analysis
and documentation; services rendered by external experts; joint ﬁnancing revenue from the public and private sectors; ﬁnancing of
surveys by commercial undertakings; organization of advanced statistical technology training courses for statisticians from the Member
States; cost of purchasing documentation.
It also covers costs incurred in connection with the training of national statisticians and the policy of cooperation with the developing
countries and the countries of central and eastern Europe; expenditure relating to exchanges of officials, the costs of information
meetings, subsidies, expenditure in payment for services rendered in connection with the adjustment of the remuneration of Community
officials and other staff.
Also charged to this article is expenditure on the purchase of data and access for Commission departments to outside data banks.
Part of this appropriation will cover development of methods of obtaining gender-speciﬁc statistics in all relevant policy areas as a tool
for promoting mainstreaming of equal opportunities between women and men.
This appropriation also covers the provision of the necessary statistical information, at the request of the Commission or of the other
Community institutions, for the assessment, monitoring and evaluation of Community expenditure. This will
improve the
implementation of ﬁnancial and budgetary policy (drawing-up of the budget and periodic review of the ﬁnancial perspective) and make
it possible to compile medium- and long-term data for Community ﬁnancing.

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 129b to 129d thereof.
Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/95 of 18 September 1995 laying down general rules for the granting of Community ﬁnancial aid in
the ﬁeld of trans-European networks (OJ L 228, 23. 9. 1995, p. 1).
European Parliament Decision of 13 December 1995 on the Common Position established by the Council with a view to the adoption
of a European Parliament and Council Decision on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network
(OJ C 17, 22. 1. 1996, p. 58).
Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development
of the trans-European transport network (OJ L 228, 9. 9. 1996, p. 1).
The Community measure is intended to promote the interconnection and interoperability of national networks as well as access to these
networks, taking into account the need to link island, landlocked and peripheral regions of the Community with its central regions. The
establishment of a trans-European transport network is thus a contribution to the effective and harmonious operation of the internal
market and to improving economic and social cohesion.
To achieve these objectives, the Community is establishing guidelines (network plans) identifying projects of common interest, with
each Member State approving the network plans and projects of common interest that concern its own territory.
Community ﬁnancial assistance will principally support the deﬁnition and launching of projects of common interest by promoting
feasibility studies for such projects and/or, where appropriate, at the implementation stage by means of interest rate subsidies,
contributions to the cost of loan guarantees, or a direct subsidy.
This appropriation is also intended to ﬁnance measures to encourage and facilitate public/private partnerships.
The use of the appropriations will be geared to a sustainable transport policy, encouraging those modes which are most
environment-friendly and making the best possible use of existing infrastructures, in particular through intermodal and modal traffic
management projects.
The appropriations under this article must be utilized to ensure that investment is structured as follows:
— railways (including combined transport): minimum 55 %,
— roads: maximum 25 %,
— traffic management: maximum 15 %.

The variable residual amounts are to be utilized for inland waterways, seaports, airports, inland ports and telematics.

The special interests of the countries beneﬁting from the Cohesion Fund must be taken into account.

A maximum of 50 % of the commitment appropriations for this article may be used for the priority projects in Annex III to Decision
No 1692/96/EC.

The appropriations must also be used for the additional priority transport projects in accordance with Sections I and II of Amendment
128 of the European Parliament Decision of 13 December 1995.

A maximum amount of ECU 5 000 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these measures or general administration (see Commission communication of 22 April
1992).

For all signiﬁcant projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty.

European Parliament and Council Decision No 2717/95/EC of 9 November 1995 on a set of guidelines for the development of the

telecommunications networks (OJ L 183, 11. 7. 1997, p. 12).

This appropriation is intended to cover the establishment of trans-European networks in the telecommunications sector. In general
terms, the different spheres where these measures will be implemented are those listed in the White Paper on Growth, competitiveness
and employment, these being:

— applications in particular of collective interest (education/training, health, culture, etc.),

— generic services (electronic mail, trusted services, data base access and interactive video services) which are interoperable and

secure, in particular through the setting up of a European trusted services network (ETS),

— digital networks which will develop into broadband networks (including the integrated services digital network (ISDN)).

Furthermore, this appropriation will be used to stimulate the creation of markets for trans-European services in the ﬁelds concerned,
in particular through the interconnection of physical networks and the interoperability of services.

There are three forms of intervention for projects of common interest:

— grants for feasibility, validation and evaluation studies and technical support measures,

— interest rate subsidies for the implementation of projects, in duly justiﬁed cases.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure related to the evaluation of the action and its projects.

It also covers support and coordination activities (such as those provided for in the new guidelines).

B5-7 2 1 0 (cont’d)

In general terms, without giving an exhaustive list, it covers expenditure relating to the creation of telematics networks between
administrations in the following ﬁelds:

— the movement of toxic and hazardous waste, pollution monitoring and combating cross-border pollution,

— plant health, using computerized information interchange systems between veterinary authorities with a view to more effective

monitoring and the dissemination of available information on as wide a scale as possible,

— improving the Community decision-making process, in order to render more efficient the management of decision-making

procedures, including those involving cooperation and co-decision,

— ensuring greater transparency in the allocation of public contracts,

— and in other ﬁelds to improve the operation of the internal market and the frontier-free economic area in the interests of the free

movement of goods, services, persons and capital, including the management of Community policies.

Also charged to this item:

— coordination of and assistance with network start-up,

— joint training of users,

— costs associated with development, effective implementation, operation, maintenance and improvement of operational systems of
data interchange between the administrations responsible for the management of the internal market, i.e. the relevant Commission
departments and Member State authorities, and between the Commission and the other institutions and, where appropriate, with
economic operators.

It will be used to ﬁnance preliminary feasibility studies, including validation exercises, to support the implementation (development,
start-up and exploitation of the shared parts of the networks) of projects of common interest that will be established on the basis of
a set of guidelines and to ﬁnance across-the-board support measures, such as the drafting of outline plans giving general guidelines for
the creation of shared telematics architectures and demonstration platforms and for the initial phases of training programmes and
information campaigns.
A maximum amount of ECU 270 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April
1992).

a year, the management of the fuel cycle and control of safety and quality;

2. the rational use of this reactor in a broad range of disciplines including isotope production and the work related to it; the
experimental irradiation of the materials intended for ﬁssion reactors and future fusion reactors, the application of neutrons in
research in solid state physics and materials science, neutroradiography as a non-destructive test method and the treatment of certain
forms of cancer using neutrons (BNCT) and related research.

INDIRECT ACTION (SHARED-COST PROJECTS) AND CONCERTED ACTION — COMPLETION OF EARLIER
PROJECTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

TITLE B6-5

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in Title B6-5.

The appropriations entered in the articles or items of this title are essentially intended to cover expenditure on contracts for the
implementation of the programmes in question, in particular research contracts, contracts of association, study contracts, contracts for
integrated projects, evaluations of speciﬁc programmes, coordination and cooperation, and contracts covering grants, subsidies, the
training and mobility of scientists, participation in international agreements, and the provision of facilities and equipment.

These appropriations also cover expenditure on staff whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, studies, meetings of experts,
conferences, congresses, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating
to internal infrastructure and operations linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral
part.

The illustrative breakdown of appropriations by type of expenditure is derived from the table of equivalence set out in Annex I to this
part of the statement of expenditure in this section (booking codes 1 to 6).
The possibility of third countries or organizations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the ﬁeld of scientiﬁc and
technical research (in particular COST) is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any ﬁnancial contribution will be entered
in Article 6 0 2 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article
96 (1) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356,
31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12).
Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (ﬁrms in European Free Trade Association Member
States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 4 of the statement of revenue may lead to additional appropriations being made
available in accordance with Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation.
Additional appropriations will be made available under Article B6-5 4 1.
Any revenue from charges for participation in seminars, conferences, etc., held by the Commission will be available for reuse in
accordance with Article 27 (2) (g) of the Financial Regulation.

These appropriations also cover the costs of the general measures to increase the synergies between the action taken under the Structural
Funds and the RTD activities, as indicated in the Commission communication of 12 May 1993 (COM(93) 203 ﬁnal). These measures
include promotion and implementation of the RTD programmes in the operational programmes under the Structural Funds in the
Objectives 1, 2, 5b and 6 regions (1994 to 1999); the provision of scientiﬁc and technological expertise to bolster the research and
technological capacity of the less-favoured regions (SME initiative); assistance for speciﬁc sectors, such as rural development and small
businesses, in deﬁning scientiﬁc and technological guidelines; the development of new methods to strengthen transnational partnerships
and, ﬁnally, examination of the measures to be taken, with the aid of studies, workshops and seminars.
Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of the action taken by the Commission to take account of the experience
gained in third countries with support for RTD capacity in the less-favoured regions on their territory with a view to global
comparisons.

These appropriations also cover the costs of the action taken by the Commission to promote coordination of the research and
technological development activities in order to keep the national policies and Community policy consistent with a view to ensuring
a tangible follow-up to the Council conclusions of 9 June 1995 on ‘coordination of RTD policies’ (7835/95 Presse 170G).

These actions will concern the concertation between the Member States and the national and European scientiﬁc bodies on the general
and sectoral policies and measures taken at national level. The objective will be to obtain relevant comparable information with a view
to gradual harmonization of the measures taken by the Member States to create favourable conditions for the development of scientiﬁc
and technological research in the European Union.

The ﬁnancial arrangements and the rules governing participation in the various programmes are set out in Annex III to the decisions
on the speciﬁc programmes.

The illustrative breakdown of appropriations by type of expenditure is derived from the table of equivalence set out in Annex I to this
part of the statement of expenditure in this section (booking codes 1 to 6).

The possibility of third countries or organizations in third countries taking part in European cooperation in the ﬁeld of scientiﬁc and
technical research (in particular COST) is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any ﬁnancial contribution will be entered
in Article 6 0 2 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article
96 (1) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356,
31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12).

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (ﬁrms in European Free Trade Association Member
States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 4 of the statement of revenue may lead to additional appropriations being made
available in accordance with Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article B6-5 4 1.

The amounts, given here for information, accruing from contributions from the EFTA States, entered against Article 6 3 0 of the
statement of revenue and constituting ‘allocated revenue’ in accordance with the third indent of Article 4 (2) of the Financial Regulation
give rise to the opening of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex III to Part B, which forms an integral part
of the general budget.

Additional appropriations will be made available under each increased heading.

Any revenue from charges for participation in seminars, conferences, etc., held by the Commission will be available for reuse in
accordance with Article 27 (2) (g) of the Financial Regulation.

It will contribute to satisfying the basic needs of modern society in areas of common interest (health, education and training, transport,
access to information, etc.); meeting the requirements of Community policies; preparing European industry for the new markets which
this research will open up; fuelling growth and employment by developing new systems and services for which there is demand;
providing a return on the ﬁnancial investments already made in programmes such as Esprit, RACE or their national equivalents.

The term ‘telematics applications’ covers all the systems (hardware and software) and services (distance learning, remote medicine,
remote management of road or air traffic, multilingual transactional processing, etc.) developed by this programme.

When allocating funds to speciﬁc items the Commission will take into account the results of the codecision procedure between the
Council and the European Parliament on the second revision of the fourth research and technological development framework
programme.

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 22 751 000.

This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 155 staff (82 A, 24 B and 49 C).

demonstration, in the ﬁeld of advanced communication technologies and services (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 222, 26. 8. 1994, p. 35).

The general objective of the programme is to develop advanced communication systems and services for economic development and
social cohesion in Europe, taking account of the rapid evolution in technologies, the changing regulatory situation and opportunities
for development of advanced trans-European networks and services.

The work will consolidate European technological leadership in digital broadband communications and enable effective network
management and service deployment in a diverse and competitive communication environment. In particular, the work will stimulate
and coordinate the emergence of digital multimedia services and integrated photonic systems with a view to their widespread
introduction in Europe from the year 2000, including development of the technological basis for deployment of optical ﬁbre networks.

It will ensure mobility on ﬁxed networks and, through them, the introduction of advanced wireless, radio and satellite systems across
Europe, with particular emphasis on user access in both public and private networks.

Lastly, methods to assure the integrity, conﬁdentiality and availability of information and to demonstrate how the systems operate, will
be installed.

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 11 393 000.

This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 111 staff (63 A, 14 B and 34 C).

Council Decision 94/912/EC of 15 December 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme of research and technological development, including
demonstration, in the ﬁeld of biotechnology (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 361, 31. 12. 1994, p. 25).

This programme was established to seize a broad spectrum of scientiﬁc opportunities arising from the accelerating progress of
molecular and cellular biology, and to concentrate the joint effort in biotechnology where the added value of cooperation can readily
be translated into industrial and social beneﬁts.

It will draw on the participation of those groups capable of promoting a comprehensive approach to the mechanisms of life, through
the integration of appropriate disciplines and complementary techniques of any origin, while considering at the same time the needs
and expectations of user groups. It will help implement the concept of cell factories, in view of the possibility which is given to exploit
cellular properties in a predictable, speciﬁc and sustainable manner in very diverse ﬁelds including the environment, agriculture, health
and industry. It is viewed therefore as the underpinning programme providing key information and know-how from which new
technological options might be conceived and tested in the framework of other speciﬁc sectoral programmes or under Eureka.

It covers the following areas:

— cell factories,

— genome analysis,

Council Decision 94/806/EC of 23 November 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and technological development,
including demonstration, in the ﬁeld of non-nuclear energy (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 334, 22. 12. 1994, p. 87).

European Parliament resolution of 28 March 1996 on the guidelines for the 1997 budget procedure — Section III — Commission (OJ
C 117, 22. 4. 1996, p. 64).
The general objectives of the measures are as follows:
— to encourage research and technological development activities in the ﬁeld of clean and efficient energy technologies as a

contribution to the security of energy supplies and to sustainable development,

— to speed up the development and dissemination of technologies which are almost mature but of which the technical and economic

viability still remains largely to be demonstrated,

— to encourage partnerships between universities, industry, users and operators of energy networks,
— to contribute towards economic and social cohesion by developing appropriate energy sources suitable for decentralized use and

harnessing local resources.

The programme covers research, technological development and demonstration activities in the following ﬁelds:
— rational use of energy in buildings, industry, the energy industry (including the electricity and heat sectors), transport and urban

infrastructure,

— renewable energy sources, particularly solar, biomass, geothermal, small-scale hydroelectric, wind and other sources,
— fossil fuels:

— clean technologies for solid fossil fuels,
— generic combustion,
— hydrocarbons and new fuels in transport,
— exploration and production of hydrocarbons,

and activities in support of deﬁnition and implementation of energy RTD strategies and dissemination.
The programme will be implemented by means of shared-cost activities, concerted action, speciﬁc measures, preparatory,
accompanying and support measures and schemes for dissemination and utilization of the results, as provided for in Annex III to the
Decision adopting the programme.
The rate of European Union ﬁnancial aid paid for the shared-cost activities will depend on the nature of the project, particularly the
economic and technical risks, the ﬁeld concerned and how close the activity is to the market. In absolute terms, the projects will be
on a scale allowing substantial innovation and signiﬁcant technological breakthroughs in the spirit of concentration of effort. Where
appropriate, projects can be combined to ensure greater synergy of resources and results. Special consideration will also be given to
integrated projects treating social, economic or purely technical problems with a multidisciplinary approach and/or concerning
problems taking account of the chain from research to demonstration and deployment on the market. Integrated projects will be carried
out in such ﬁelds as integrated applications of renewable energy sources, combustion and urban transport.

These projects will be backed up by concerted action in speciﬁc ﬁelds where simple coordination at Community level of the efforts
of the Member States and of the relevant industries would make them more effective. A special procedure for SMEs will be introduced
to encourage them to participate in the programme (technology stimulation).

When allocating funds to speciﬁc items the Commission will take into account the results of the codecision procedure between the
Council and the European Parliament on the second revision of the fourth research and technological development framework
programme.

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 10 825 000.

This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 79 staff (40 A, 17 B and 22 C).

For all signiﬁcant projects ﬁnanced by this item, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty.

Council Decision 94/807/EC of 23 November 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme of research and technological development,
including demonstration, in the ﬁeld of cooperation with third countries and international organizations (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 334,
22. 12. 1994, p. 109).

Cooperation with other fora for European cooperation involves stimulation and coordination activities, in particular with Eureka, in the
framework of COST and with European organizations.
The exchange of information, coordination and stimulation of activities of mutual beneﬁt are planned with regard to cooperation with
non-European industrialized third countries. The programme resources may also be used for Community participation in the
exploratory phase of a joint project, whereas the ﬁnancing of a possible operational phase of the project would have to be covered by
the programme concerned.
Cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe, the new Independent States of the former Soviet Union and the
developing countries in speciﬁc areas not covered by the programmes of Activities 1, 3 and 4 will normally take the form of shared-cost
activities or concerted action. Cooperation may also be furthered with the aid of appropriate structures.
This programme will be carried out in the form of indirect action, where the Community makes a ﬁnancial contribution to RTD
activities carried out by third parties or by JRC institutes in association with third parties:
— shared-cost activities:

— RTD projects carried out by undertakings, research centres and universities (Community funding will normally not exceed 50 %
of the cost of the project, with progressively lower participation the nearer the project is to the market place. Those universities
and other institutions which do not have analytical budget accountancy will be reimbursed on the basis of 100 % of the
additional costs. The ﬁnancial contribution for participants from the central and eastern European countries, the Independent
States of the former Soviet Union and the developing countries may exceed 50 %),

— concerted action consisting of the coordination of RTD projects already funded by public authorities or private bodies (the

Community participation may cover up to 100 % of the costs of the concertation),

— speciﬁc measures for this programme:

— measures to provide tools for general use in research centres, universities and undertakings,
— support for Community participation in the exploratory phase of a joint project (the ﬁnancing of a possible operational phase
of the project would have to be covered by the speciﬁc programme concerned. The European Union’s contribution to the above
measures may cover up to 100 % of the costs),

— support to facilitate participation of legal entities from the countries of central and eastern Europe, the Independent States of
the former Soviet Union and developing countries, in certain other speciﬁc programmes of the framework programme (such
participation should, however, normally be ﬁnanced by resources of the third country concerned or other Community
instruments),

— preparatory, accompanying and support measures, such as:

— studies in support of this programme and in preparation for future activities,

— support for exchanges of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other scientiﬁc or technical meetings, including

intersectoral or multidisciplinary coordination meetings,

— use of external expertise, including access to scientiﬁc databases,

Council Decision 94/916/EC of 15 December 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme of research and technological development, including
demonstration, in the ﬁeld of the training and mobility of researchers (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 361, 31. 12. 1994, p. 90).

The aim of the programme is to help increase, through training, mobility and cooperation, the effectiveness of research and research
infrastructures and to promote, through the stimulation of training and mobility of researchers, a quantitative and qualitative increase
of human resources within the European Union and the associated States.
The programme covers the following areas:
— research networks (which will allow researchers from different countries to join their efforts within the framework of a joint

research project),

— access to large-scale facilities (to provide wider access for researchers to large European Union installations and, where necessary,

to improve these installations to encourage more efficient use to be made of them),

— training through research:

— implementation of training through research and stimulation of researcher mobility in all the ﬁelds covered by the programme.
Training periods may have a duration of between three months and three years and will allow European researchers to undergo
training or specialization outside their country of origin. This activity also includes the mobility of experienced researchers
towards the less-favoured regions of the European Union in order to bolster the RTD capacity of such regions,

— coordination of the training activities deﬁned in the speciﬁc programmes under the ﬁrst, second and third areas of activity of

the fourth framework programme,

— return of researchers from less-favoured regions, encouraged and granted ﬁnancial support,

— accompanying measures to contribute to the programme’s objectives (to encourage the training and mobility of researchers), in
particular the development of a ‘Euroconferences’ system, practical courses, prizes for young scientists, publication and
dissemination of the results of the programme, seminars and examination of the measures to be taken, with the aid of studies,
workshops and seminars.

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 8 937 000.
This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 58 staff (26 A, 9 B and 23 C).

TITLE B6-8

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in Title B6-8.

Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 7 thereof.

Commission communication to the Council and the European Parliament of 12 May 1993 ‘Cohesion and RTD policy — synergies
between research and technological development policy and economic and social cohesion policy’ (COM(93) 203 ﬁnal).

Council Decision 94/268/Euratom of 26 April 1994 concerning a framework programme of Community activities in the ﬁeld of research
and training for the European Atomic Energy Community (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 115, 6. 5. 1994, p. 31.)

Council Decision 96/253/Euratom of 4 March 1996 adapting Council Decision 94/268/Euratom concerning a framework programme of
Community activities in the ﬁeld of research and training for the European Atomic Energy Community (1994 to 1998), following the
accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union (OJ L 86, 4. 4. 1996,
p. 72).

The appropriations entered in the articles or items of this title are essentially intended to cover expenditure on contracts for the
implementation of the programmes in question, in particular research contracts, contracts of association, study contracts, contracts for
integrated projects, speciﬁc assessments (proposals, projects), monitoring and evaluation of the speciﬁc programmes and the framework
programme, contracts for coordination, indicators and cooperation, and contracts covering grants, subsidies, the training and mobility
of scientists, participation in international agreements, and the provision of facilities and equipment.
They also cover expenditure on staff whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, studies, meetings of experts, conferences,
congresses, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal
infrastructure and operations linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including
the action and measures necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.
Research staff expenditure is covered by the headings of Title B6-8 in accordance with and in compliance with Articles 19 and 93 of
the Financial Regulation.
Also entered against these items or articles are the costs of high-level scientiﬁc and technological meetings, conferences, workshops
and seminars of European interest and the funding of high-level scientiﬁc and technological analyses and evaluations carried out to
investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action.
These appropriations also cover the costs of the general measures to increase the synergies between the action taken under the Structural
Funds and the RTD activities, as indicated in the Commission communication of 12 May 1993 (COM(93) 203 ﬁnal). These measures
include promotion and implementation of the RTD programmes in the operational programmes under the Structural Funds in the
Objectives 1, 2, 5b and 6 regions (1994 to 1999); the provision of scientiﬁc and technological expertise to bolster the research and
technological development capacity of the less-favoured regions (SME initiative); assistance for speciﬁc sectors, such as rural
development and small businesses, in deﬁning scientiﬁc and technological guidelines and, ﬁnally, examination of the measures to be
taken, with the aid of studies, workshops and seminars.
Also entered against these items or articles are the costs of the action taken by the Commission to promote coordination of the research
and technological development activities in order to keep the national policies and Community policy consistent.
This action will entail concertation between the Member States and the national and European scientiﬁc bodies on the policies and
measures taken at national (and, in particular, sectoral) level. They will be based on fuller information on the scientiﬁc and
technological potential of the Member States and on the programmes implemented and will aim at gradual harmonization of the
measures taken by the Member States to create favourable conditions for the development of scientiﬁc and technological research.
The illustrative breakdown of appropriations by type of expenditure is derived from the table of equivalence set out in Annex I to this
part of the statement of expenditure in this section (booking codes 1 to 6).

The possibility of European third countries or organizations in third countries taking part in European cooperation in the ﬁeld of
scientiﬁc and technical research (in particular COST) is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any ﬁnancial contribution will
be entered in Article 6 0 2 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance
with Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities
(OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12).

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (ﬁrms in European Free Trade Association Member
States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 4 of the statement of revenue may lead to additional appropriations being made
available in accordance with Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article B6-5 4 1.

Remarks

Council Decision 94/799/Euratom of 8 December 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme of research and training in the ﬁeld of controlled
thermonuclear fusion (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 331, 21. 12. 1994, p. 22).

European Parliament resolution of 28 March 1996 on the guidelines for the 1997 budget procedure — Section III — Commission (OJ
C 117, 22. 4. 1996, p. 64).

The programme covers the following areas:

— ‘Next Step’ activities, particularly cooperation on the ITER (international thermonuclear experimental reactor),

— JET (Joint European Torus),

— concept improvements,

— long-term technology.

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 23 187 000.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure in respect of 215 staff (175 A, 30 B and 10 C), while the JET budget covers
expenditure in respect of a maximum of 114 temporary agents as shown in the JET establishment plan.

The validity of the current reserve list of candidates for the Community’s fusion programme, lapsing at the end of 1997, shall be
prolonged.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure for meeting the ﬁnancial obligations arising from the decision of the Court of
Justice that the JET Statute and associated supplementary rules and administrative procedures are discriminatory and unlawful in their
effects on certain groups of staff. An amount of ECU 3 600 000 has been placed in the reserve accordingly.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1292/96 of 27 June 1996 on food-aid policy and food-aid management and special operations in support
of food security (OJ L 166, 5. 7. 1996, p. 1).

This appropriation is to cover the cost of purchasing food products for developing countries and of operations in support of food
security (Title II of Council Regulation (EC) No 1292/96), early warning systems and storage programmes (Title III of that Regulation).
Where possible, purchases are to be made as triangular operations.

The following is an indicative list of products and operations covered.
A. Food products:
— cereals or cereal-based products, in the form of seeds where appropriate,
— milk powder or equivalent products rich in protein,
— butteroil for reconstituting whole milk from milk powder,
— vegetable oil,
— sugar,
— other products, e.g. pulses, ﬁsh, protein-enriched biscuits, seeds, etc.
Purchases can be ﬁnanced under the current ﬁnancial year’s programme and also, where appropriate, under previous programmes.
B. Operations in support of food security:
Financing of sectoral reform programmes by means of ﬁnancial and/or technical assistance and of agricultural and food development
projects in the developing countries (Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1292/96).
C. Early warning systems and storage programmes:
Enhancing food security in the recipient countries (Articles 6, 7 and 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1292/96).
This article is also intended to cover payments in respect of commitments entered into under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1993/83
of 11 July 1983 implementing a special programme to combat hunger in the world (OJ L 196, 20. 7. 1983, p. 6).
Emphasis should be put on the ﬁnancing of programmes and projects carried out by non-governmental development organizations or
other players of civil society, especially farmers’ organizations.

of food security (OJ L 166, 5. 7. 1996, p. 1).
This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the measures that are essential for implementing food aid within the requisite
time-scale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisﬁes the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of
cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency.
Such measures concern inter alia:
— transport and distribution of aid, including any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading, coordination, etc., not

included in transport contracts but stemming from them,

— back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid, the cost of which
is not covered by other appropriations, e.g. exceptional transport and storage operations, processing or preparation of foodstuffs on
the spot, disinfection, consultants’ services, technical assistance and equipment directly involved in providing the aid (tools,
utensils, fuel, etc.),

— supervision and coordination of food-aid operations, notably the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of the products

involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

— pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport, packaging or storage, studies of food-aid operations and campaigns to increase

public awareness,

— storage of food (including administrative costs, future operations, with or without options, training of technicians, purchase of

packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and repairing stores, etc.).

ECU 18 000 000 is programmed for measures and operations to supervise and implement the European Union’s food-aid programme.

Measures may be ﬁnanced under the current ﬁnancial year’s programme or, where appropriate, under previous programmes.

Emphasis should be put on the ﬁnancing of programmes and projects carried out by non-governmental development organizations or
other players of civil society, especially farmers’ organizations.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96 of 20 June 1996 concerning humanitarian aid (OJ L 163, 2. 7. 1996, p. 1).
The Cannes European Council of 26 and 27 June 1995 reached an agreement on the amount and on the ﬁnancing arrangements for the
eighth European Development Fund (EDF) under which an increase is provided for in emergency humanitarian aid to the African,
Caribbean and Paciﬁc States of ECU 160 000 000 from the general budget.
The Community declaration on Article 2 (d) of the Second Financial Protocol to the fourth Lomé Convention stipulates, moreover, that
the speciﬁc resources provided for in that Protocol for emergency assistance may be supplemented, for the duration of the Protocol,
by an additional amount of ECU 160 000 000 from the Community budget.

If the need arises, therefore, part of that aid may be covered by appropriations entered in this article.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the ﬁnancing of assistance, relief, protection and emergency food-aid operations to help
people in the developing countries, the ACP countries and other third countries hit by natural disasters, man-made crises (wars,
outbreaks of ﬁghting, etc.) or comparable emergencies for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs that such situations
give rise to.

The aid is granted to victims without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, age, nationality or political
affiliation.

Also charged to this article are the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of such
operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work,
notably of infrastructure and facilities, the costs associated with external, expatriate or local staff, storage, international or national
shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the
aid.

This appropriation also covers:

— feasibility studies into humanitarian operations and the evaluation of humanitarian-aid projects and plans,

— measures to strengthen Community coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international organizations,

— the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian projects,

— the ﬁnancing of technical assistance contracts to facilitate the exchange of technical know-how and expertise between European

humanitarian organizations and agencies or between such bodies and those of non-member countries.

This appropriation also covers the ﬁnancing of the costs arising from such operations and other measures to publicize the Community
nature of the aid.

A maximum amount of ECU 2 800 000 may cover expenditure on studies, training, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses and
publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part; this excludes
expenditure involved in the management of these measures or in general administration (see the Commission communication SEC(92)

This appropriation is intended to cover measures to promote the self-sufficiency of refugees, displaced persons and other population
groups which have left their country of origin or residence because of ﬁghting, lack of security or other man-made crises.

It also covers measures to make survival, repatriation and resettlement possible. In particular, the aid may be extended to cover the local
population in the host countries and countries of origin, where economic conditions so require. It may also be used, if necessary, to
support actions aimed at the prevention of population displacement.

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them, aimed
at tackling macro-economic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is placed on operations inﬂuencing economic organization and
institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, operations concerning the environment, the education of women, the

measures.
Investments on lands traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples or by other local communities, and other projects signiﬁcantly
affecting their livelihood or social organization, shall not be carried out without, as far as possible, their prior consultation and informed
consent.
At least 10 % of these funds are to be used for environmental policies resulting from the Agenda 21 Programme agreed at the United

growing numbers of street children.
A maximum amount of ECU 4 250 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication SEC(92) 769
ﬁnal of 22 April 1992).

non-governmental organizations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children and ethnic
minorities.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2259/96 of 22 November 1996 on development cooperation with South Africa (OJ L 306, 28. 11. 1996, p. 5).
This appropriation is intended to ﬁnance programmes within South Africa in such a way as to improve the situation of the poorest
sectors of South African society in line with the priorities established by the European Parliament in its resolution of 15 December 1993,
and bearing in mind the Council decision on aid to South Africa in the context of the Interim Agreement.

It follows on from the original programme of positive measures for South Africa, as originally proposed by the European Parliament
and conﬁrmed on various occasions by the European Council.

The changes are intended to take full account of the democratic transformation of South Africa following the elections of April 1994.

These measures involve covering the costs of:

— development programmes involving the local community and operated notably by the Kagiso Trust, the trade unions and the

churches,

— programmes to improve housing and related projects in the poorest areas of the country,

— programmes to improve educational standards and schooling in rural and poor urban areas,

— programmes to assist vocational training including teacher training and also including the provision of European Union scholarships

and study awards,

— community health programmes and projects in rural and poor urban areas,

Remarks

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 31 July 1995, regarding the implementation of a special
ﬁnancial cooperation measure for Turkey (OJ C 217, 17. 10. 1995, p. 12).

This item is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of various measures to increase the productivity of the Turkish economy and to provide
Turkey with better economic infrastructure, higher agricultural output and modern, soundly managed industrial and service
undertakings.

It also covers the ﬁnancing of measures to strengthen cooperation with Turkey notably in the ﬁelds of training, education and culture.

The release of this appropriation is subject to adoption of the legal basis and to Turkey’s observance of the democratic principles laid
down in the European Convention on Human Rights, the principles of constitutional government and international law and the
clariﬁcation of the statements made by the new Turkish Government regarding the Customs Union with the European Union.
Substantial progress towards a political solution of the Cyprus problem and the Kurdish question must also be apparent, in accordance
with numerous resolutions of the European Parliament, and especially that of 19 September 1996.

— achieve a better socio-economic balance (inter alia by contributing to the improvement of the social services, balanced and
integrated rural development, the commitment of civil society to development, support for education and cultural exchanges, the
strengthening of democracy and human rights, protection of the environment and by promoting women’s active participation in
economic and social life),

— support regional integration and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation including environment (regional projects,
decentralized cooperation programmes, cross-border cooperation with the Mediterranean regions of the European Union); support
the Middle East peace process.

In implementing the appropriations, the Commission shall take account of the situation in each country regarding respect for the
principles of democracy and the rule of law, respect for human rights and the rights of minorities, respect for international law and
respect for the territorial integrity and external borders of the Member States and Mediterranean non-member countries (European
Parliament resolution of 19 September 1996).

Also charged to this article, provided this is stipulated in the ﬁnancial memorandums or equivalent documents, are contracts concluded
by the Commission for the duration of programmes in order to supply technical support and cover relevant administrative expenditure
for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and the recipient countries. The contracts are concluded for a period of one year (renewable)
with experts responsible for preparing the terms of reference of the projects, evaluating tenders, and undertaking monitoring and audit
activities. Upon submission of a reasoned request by each arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must supply all relevant
information, including the outcome of the work of the experts, relating to the implementation of the programmes. The appropriations
committed under this heading may not exceed 3 % of the appropriations authorized for the MEDA programme, for appropriations
entered in this article.
This appropriation will also ﬁnance pilot actions to promote environmentally and socially sound business practice, including the
transfer of technical knowledge on best practice in clean technologies and economic incentives.
It also covers 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.
A maximum amount of ECU 5 000 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information
and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.
This appropriation also covers expenditure on operations and other measures of a horizontal nature designed to enhance the proﬁle or
increase awareness of the European Union which are directly linked with the achievement of the objectives of the European Union’s
action in the Mediterranean non-member countries.
In accordance with the results of the procedure for cooperation on regulations concerning the Structural Funds (Declaration No 29 on
Article 11 of amended Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88), this appropriation also covers the joint ﬁnancing of structural measures in
non-member countries bordering the Community which are to be co-ﬁnanced by the Structural Funds.
This appropriation is also intended to cover the ﬁnancing, up to an amount of ECU 700 000, of preparatory measures to extend the
trans-European networks and introduce a sustainable common transport policy at European level, to prepare the conclusion and
implementation of bilateral and multilateral agreements and to follow up the Second Pan-European Transport Conference held in Crete
in 1994. These measures were ﬁnanced in 1996 by Article B7-8 4 0.
Each quarter, the Commission will provide a report to the budgetary authority on the implementation of the programme, presenting an
analysis of the allocation of the commitment and payment appropriations, by country and by sector of activity.
With regard to the MEDA programmes for Turkey, and in accordance with the agreement between the Commission and the European
Parliament, the Commission shall comply with the letter and spirit of the European Parliament’s resolution of 19 September 1996 on
the political situation in Turkey in all its actions under this programme. The programmes with Turkey must accordingly be directed
towards consolidating democracy, and strengthening human rights and civil society. Through the interinstitutional working party, the
European Parliament must approve the programmes drawn up by the Commission for Turkey, so that if they are rejected the relevant
funds will not be committed.
The appropriations are entered into the reserve (Chapter B0-4 0) pending a Commission evaluation report on the implementation of this
programme, with recommendations on how to increase its effectiveness, impact and overall relevance. This report shall include the
breakdown by country and sector of the projects ﬁnanced by the European Union since 1996 and their situation in ﬁnancial terms.

This appropriation is intended to cover operations ﬁnanced under the Community support programme for the Occupied Territories of
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (1994 to 1998), in the context of the Middle East peace process.

water supply, the environment, training and education and the establishment of Palestinian institutions.

Also charged to this article is the technical assistance required for undertaking the aid programmes and the cost of monitoring and
evaluating projects.

This appropriation also covers preparatory operations, again in the context of the peace process, concerning regional cooperation
between Israel and its neighbours, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and energy.

Also charged to this article is the ﬁnancing of activities designed to create a public opinion favourable to the peace process, in both
camps, in particular:

— activities common to young Israelis and Palestinians,

— clear information in both languages,

— information activity and Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.

During the period 1990 to 1994, 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. In implementing the Phare programme, therefore, the Commission must ensure that
the beneﬁciaries of these measures respect European social policy and the fundamental social rights enshrined in the Social Charter
on the basis of the acquis communautaire.

B7-5 0 0 (cont’d)

With a view to stepping up the pre-accession strategy as a whole, subject to the formal adoption of Phare guidelines in accordance with
the legislation in force, Phare operations are to be 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,

— promoting consumer organizations,

— structural reforms and regional policies,

— promoting democracy and civil society and active cooperation in the ﬁelds of justice and home affairs,

— opening up Community programmes (see Article B7-5 0 3),

— investment ﬁnancing, notably in order to help the candidate states comply with Community legislative standards.

Three types of operation are planned:
— contributions to a national fund to promote investments involving the acquis communautaire,
— co-ﬁnancing of major infrastructure projects involving notably the European Investment Bank,

the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank and, in the framework of the trans-European networks, the restructuring and
modernization of industry, energy, telecommunications, the environment and inter-regional cooperation projects,

— a horizontal facility for SMEs.
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 of the beneﬁciary state
concerned, in particular as regards its requirements and absorption capacity.
In line with the policy of integrating the dimension of equal opportunities between women and men into all Community activities
(‘mainstreaming’), this appropriation will ensure equal participation of women in all programmes and develop indicators to ascertain
women’s level of involvement in projects.
The Commission will provide a breakdown four times a year by country and by sector of commitments and payments made.
A maximum amount of ECU 12 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information
and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.
Also charged to this article, provided this is stipulated in the ﬁnancial memorandums or equivalent documents, are contracts concluded
by the Commission for the duration of programmes in order to supply technical support and cover relevant administrative expenditure
for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and the recipient countries. The contracts are concluded for a period of one year (renewable)
with experts responsible for preparing the terms of reference of the projects, evaluating tenders, and undertaking monitoring and audit
activities. Upon submission of a reasoned request by each arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must supply all relevant
information, including the outcome of the work of the experts, relating to the implementation of the programmes. The appropriations
committed under this heading may not exceed 2 % of the appropriations authorized for the Phare programme, for appropriations entered
in this article.
The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows:

consultants in the Tacis programme (equal opportunity of access to participation in tendering).

In line with the policy of integrating the dimension of equal opportunities between women and men into all Community activities
(‘mainstreaming’), this appropriation will ensure equal participation of women in all programmes and develop indicators to ascertain
women’s level of involvement in projects.

This appropriation may also be used to cover, in 1998, a maximum additional amount of ECU 25 000 000, representing the European
Union’s contribution to the Chernobyl Shelter Fund (Article B7-5 3 6).

Total appropriations allocated to the nuclear sector may not exceed 13 % of the total appropriations available for this programme.

A maximum amount of ECU 6 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information
and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.
Also charged to this article, provided this is stipulated in the ﬁnancial memorandums or equivalent documents, are contracts concluded
by the Commission for the duration of programmes in order to supply technical support and cover relevant administrative expenditure
for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and the recipient countries. The contracts are concluded for a period of one year (renewable)
with experts responsible for preparing the terms of reference of the projects, evaluating tenders, and undertaking monitoring and audit
activities. Upon submission of a reasoned request by each arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must supply all relevant
information, including the outcome of the work of the experts, relating to the implementation of the programmes. The appropriations
committed under this heading may not exceed 3,5 % of the appropriations authorized for the Tacis programme, for appropriations
entered in this article.

Yugoslavia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (OJ L 204, 14. 8. 1996, p. 1).
Text of the Dayton Accords on Refugees and Displaced Persons.

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of reconstruction projects in the Republics formerly part of Yugoslavia.

Special priority is given to the reconstruction and modernization of the energy, water, transport and telecommunications networks, the
hospital sector and to the construction of housing in Sarajevo.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure relating to the return and resettling of refugees and displaced persons in
Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro), without discrimination based on the region
of origin or nationality of the refugees or persons displaced as a result of the conﬂict on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.

In the light of the information supplied to it via official sources, in particular the High Representative, the Commission must do its
utmost to apply the terms of the Accord to the letter, beneﬁting both third countries and European Union Member States in their
capacity as donors. To do this, it must carry out a six-monthly assessment of implementation of the conditions stipulated by the Accords
and of any obstacles encountered and must undertake to report to the budgetary authority in April and September of each year.

This appropriation is also to ﬁnance an international ‘pop’ festival in Bosnia-Herzegovina in summer 1998.

This budget heading is accessible only to states and state bodies which fulﬁl the requirements arising from the Dayton peace
agreements, notably regarding the protection of human rights, and the decisions of the special international court on the former
Yugoslavia.

Remarks

European Parliament resolution of 14 May 1992 on the role of the non-governmental organizations in development cooperation (OJ C
150, 15. 6. 1992, p. 273).
Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 11 July 1995, on coﬁnancing operations with European
non-governmental development organizations (NGDOs) in ﬁelds of interest to the developing countries (OJ C 251, 27. 9. 1995, p. 18).
European Parliament resolution of 18 May 1995 on Tibet (OJ C 151, 19. 6. 1995, p. 278).
This appropriation is intended to cover:
— co-ﬁnancing with non-governmental organizations of social and economic development operations to beneﬁt the poorest sections
of the populations of developing countries, whether associated or not, and the implementation of such co-ﬁnancing taking account
of the priorities established by the European Parliament in its resolution of 14 May 1992,

— co-ﬁnancing of campaigns to raise public awareness of development issues carried out by NGOs in the Member States,
— contributions towards the budget of the NGO Liaison Committee,
— technical support in assessment and follow-up of NGO requests for co-ﬁnancing,
— missions for the control or evaluation of project implementation,
— evaluating and investigating the administrative and ﬁnancial management of the European and developing country NGOs, the
methods used by NGOs in north-south cooperation and the implications of these factors for collaboration between the institutions
of the European Union and NGOs,

— publications and information on NGO-Community cooperation with a view to providing greater visibility for Community activity

and European Parliament involvement and improving information to NGOs.

It also covers the ﬁnancing of mine clearance operations and rehabilitation of mine victims.

Also charged to this item is the ﬁnancing of small loans and credits provided through the informal banking system (along the lines of
the Grameen Bank and similar operations in Bangladesh) which assist in particular women’s employment opportunities.

Amended proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 6 September 1996, on north-south cooperation in
the campaign against drugs and drug addiction (budget Item B7-6 2 1 0) (OJ C 326, 31. 10. 1996, p. 3).
Common position (EC) No 1/97, adopted by the Council on 22 November 1996, with a view to adoption of a Council Regulation on
north-south cooperation in the campaign against drugs and drug addiction (OJ C 6, 9. 1. 1997, p. 1).

This appropriation is intended to cover a Community contribution to the United Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control, partly to ﬁnance
its activities in the developing countries, and partly to ﬁnance direct action beneﬁting those countries such as the prevention and
reduction of drug abuse and illicit production of drugs, and the control of drug trafficking, the diversion of precursors and money
laundering in those countries.

Such action may include the supply of equipment and technical assistance required.

It also covers the support of the anti-drugs programme in the Andean States of Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.

It constitutes part of the funds for implementing the Community’s policy on combating drug abuse. Under this heading it contributes
to operations falling within this policy together with appropriations entered under Articles B3-4 4 0 and B3-4 4 1.

A maximum amount of ECU 1 000 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication SEC(92) 769

Transatlantic Declaration of 22 November 1990 on relations between the European Union and the United States of America.

European Parliament resolution of 24 March 1994 on relations between the European Union and the United States of America (OJ C
114, 25. 4. 1994, p. 18).

New Transatlantic Agenda of 1995 signed by the Council on 3 December 1995 and Joint EC-USA Action Plan.

This appropriation is intended to improve mutual understanding between key actors on each side of the Atlantic by creating an
overarching framework for the ‘People to People Links’ and ‘Information and Culture’ exchanges envisaged by the Joint Action Plan
of the New Transatlantic Agenda.

This is to be achieved through ﬁnancing pilot projects and preparatory actions between actors and organizations in both the European
Union and the United States of America.

Such projects and actions shall include pilot actions to stimulate the dialogue between the social and business partners on each side
of the Atlantic.

Each action or project must include participants from both sides of the Atlantic, and may encourage the establishment of networks.

The initiative as a whole shall be funded in part through public, private, business and charitable organizations from the United States
of America, as well as from this funding in the European Union’s budget.

The contribution from the European Union’s 1998 budget will be limited to ECU 6 000 000, in accordance with the following
breakdown of activities:

1. Education

— Transatlantic research and exchange programmes

— This programme would choose up to 10 centres of European studies to serve as host institutions for visiting scholars and
practitioners from the European Union. Visitors would be resident at host institutions for relatively short periods (one week to
approximately one month) to increase the number of participants involved. Research grants for faculty and students would
support both short and long-term projects. The European Community Studies Association (ECSA) of the United States of
America, an organization of 900 individuals and 50 institutions dedicated to the study of the European Union, should be given
responsibility for coordinating and administering this programme.

— Electronic resources and long-distance learning

— A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-USA digital library collection, accessible on the Internet, featuring
material of interest to researchers and the general public in Europe and the United States of America. The project is designed
to promote ongoing cooperation between national libraries, other research libraries, and research and education communities.

2. People to People
— Transatlantic labour dialogue (300 000)

900 000

— Transatlantic small and medium-sized enterprise initiative (300 000)
— Transatlantic business dialogue (300 000)
This section is designed to give assistance to distinct, broadly based communities which intend to formulate speciﬁc recommendations
for joint action to the European Union and the United States of America administrations, focused on the European side of the dialogue.

3. Transatlantic Houses
The 1995 EU/US summit in Berlin called for joint actions to foster political and social development in central and eastern European
countries. Implementation of this commitment would be through the progressive joint creation of a ‘Transatlantic House’ in Ukraine,
ﬁrst to serve as an information point on partners’ support programmes in those countries, and then extended to house jointly ﬁnanced
democracy programmes. Matching funding would be required from the United States of America for such a scheme to operate.

2 500 000

4. Civil Society Actions
One of the major goals of the New Transatlantic Agenda is the building of bridges across the Atlantic. A key proposal put forward has
been to establish a coordinating mechanism to monitor and help implement identiﬁed initiatives aimed at promoting and developing
civil society. This appropriation is intended to support activities speciﬁcally involving citizen-to-citizen links under the umbrella of the
Transatlantic Civil Society Dialogue. Matching funding would be required from the United States of America. Furthermore,
independent funders would be expected to supplement such funding. An annual evaluation report on these activities will be submitted
by the Commission to the budgetary authority by 30 June of the following year.

B7-6 6 2 (cont’d)

Council Regulation (EC) No 2472/94 of 10 October 1994 suspending certain elements of the embargo on the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (OJ L 266, 15. 10. 1994, p. 8), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1673/95 (OJ L 160, 11. 7. 1995,
p. 1).

Council Regulation (EC) No 2465/96 of 17 December 1996 concerning the interruption of economic and ﬁnancial relations between the
European Community and Iraq (OJ L 337, 27. 12. 1996, p. 11).

Commission communication pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2465/96 (written procedure E/297/97).

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to the implementation of economic sanctions and trade embargoes
imposed by international organizations, in particular those costs directly related to the running of a coordination centre (Samcomm)
responsible for:

— coordinating investigations into cases of violation of the sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro, including expenditure on support

services, development of computer applications, communications, secretarial services, equipment and training,

— the CAFAO, whose role is to train an effective customs service capable of providing the State of Bosnia-Herzegovina and its entities
with customs revenue (the costs relating directly to the operation in Bosnia-Herzegovina are ﬁnanced by Article B7-5 4 4),

— assisting States in the implementation of the sanctions against Iraq and the ‘Oil for Food’ programme. At the end of December 1996
the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2465/96 implementing the embargo against Iraq and the measures of the UN Security
Council Resolution 986 (1995), the so-called ‘Oil for Food’ Resolution. Pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulation in question, in early
March 1997 the Commission published the information required by Community traders in order to receive equal treatment in respect
of ‘Oil for Food’ and listed the points of contact where traders could obtain additional information concerning the embargo on Iraq.

Also charged to this article is support for funding the activities of the Latin American Parliament in the context of the agreements with
the European Parliament.

A maximum amount of ECU 375 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information

This appropriation is intended to cover ﬁnancing of the activities of organizations pursuing humanitarian aims and promoting human
rights in third countries.
It also covers the support of the establishment and maintenance of rehabilitation centres for torture victims and their families and other
organizations offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses, in particular in East Timor.
Particular attention will be given to projects to assist children who are victims of human rights violations.

Also charged to this item is the improvement of the functioning of the UN International War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda by funding operating expenditure incurred in gathering evidence (missions,
investigations, travel by witnesses, exhumations, etc.).

This appropriation is also intended to fund preparations for the setting up of a Standing International Criminal Tribunal.

— reinforce respect for ethnic minorities such as gypsies,

— strengthen respect for the human rights of indigenous peoples worldwide,

— promote training with organizations specializing in the defence of human rights,

— support for organizations which specialize in caring for refugees,

— promote the protection of human rights in countries where there is soon to be a change of sovereignty,

— assist the European Union in its contribution to international non-governmental organizations working for the establishment of an

international criminal court.

Priority is accorded to projects offering concrete and direct aid. Projects concerning research and academic seminars of particular merit
are taken into consideration in so far as is possible, while guaranteeing transparency in the use of the funds and equality of opportunity
for all organizations submitting projects.

It also covers the administrative costs resulting from the administration of this item and the inspection of projects which have received
grants.

This appropriation may also be used to contribute to the creation of the European Network for Human Rights and Democratization,
and to ensure that information on European Union policy and on European Union ﬁnanced programmes/projects to promote human
rights and democracy is collected, analysed, updated and circulated by means of the new electronic media, in particular the Internet.
An amount of ECU 200 000 is intended for the European Foundation for Freedom of Expression.
Also charged to this item are subsidies to organizations devoted to the protection of human rights, such as the European Human Rights
Foundation.
This appropriation also covers Community aid to non-governmental organizations working for the defence and promotion of human
rights in Turkey.
It is also intended to provide ﬁnancial support for associations and organizations working to promote peace, reconciliation and dialogue
in European Union regions affected by violence.
Also charged to this item is the ﬁnancing of speciﬁc measures to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, including two major conferences, one to evaluate the democratization programmes in many parts of the world, and the other
to examine the prospects for human rights in the 21st century. The conferences will also address the situation of minorities and the
question of minority rights.
This appropriation is also intended to support other activities related to the 50th anniversary, particularly activities likely to contribute
to better implementation of the Declaration. These could also include an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European
Parliament’s Sakharov prize for freedom of thought, a human rights poster competition and a schools essay or poetry competition. It
would also support the provision to schools of new educational material on the European Union and human rights.
Utilization of this item must take account of the speciﬁc requirements of the institutions and non-governmental organizations working
in the human rights ﬁeld and of the administrative constraints peculiar to international organizations, particularly those linked to the
United Nations system.
It must, in particular, be possible for Community resources to be mobilized quickly when emergency operations are involved.
The Commission may submit a proposal for additional transfers to this item in accordance with the political priorities and the amounts
already used by non-governmental organizations, pursuant to Article 26 (7) of the Financial Regulation.
To this end care must be taken to ensure that the funds for rehabilitation of the victims of torture are not in any way reduced, and that
where ﬁnancial resources permit they should be increased to the maximum possible.

It also covers support for the activities of non-governmental organizations involved in the protection and promotion of human rights
in Tibet.

It furthermore covers information promotion, in particular radio broadcasting, by Tibetans, both exiles and those living in Tibet, in
support of any non-violent initiative to secure the defence and promotion of human rights and of democracy and freedom in Tibet
together with the initiatives taken in that connection within the European Union and ﬁnancing of the research programme on the
speciﬁcally Tibetan activities of the International Peace Research Institute.

This appropriation is intended for activities in support of the electoral process in third countries. It may be used in particular to ﬁnance
measures to build up a capacity to carry out effective election observation operations. This includes capacity building in relation to the
training of personnel, including the establishment of a pool of specialist professionals, the monitoring of access to media during election
campaigns, the evaluation of the European Union’s participation in international election observation missions, and the continued
monitoring of the post-electoral situation.
It can also be used to heighten the visibility of the role of the European Union and the European Parliament in such operations.
Observers’ missions may be ﬁnanced from the appropriations of this article.
The ﬁnancial outturn of this article will depend on prior adoption by the three institutions of common rules and procedures for their
representation during special missions for electoral monitoring and/or post-electoral measures.

environmental technology,

— studies on the gender-speciﬁc transformation of the labour market as a result of improved market access by Community ﬁrms.

The studies must be submitted to the European Parliament regularly (at least once a year).

Support to European industry for the organization of activities speciﬁcally geared to market access focusing on trade cooperation,
investment, market assessment, or setting up bilateral or multilateral campaigns aimed at opening markets, e.g. of the ‘Trade Barriers
Regulation’ type.

Decision No 210/97/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996 adopting an action programme for customs
in the Community (Customs 2000) (OJ L 33, 4. 2. 1997, p. 24).

The legal basis of technical assistance measures is found in the various cooperation, free trade and customs union agreements between
the Community and numerous non-member countries.

This appropriation is intended to cover the smooth operation and coordination of measures involving customs cooperation and
assistance to non-Community countries on customs and tax matters.

The operational expenditure consists mainly of:
— ﬁnancing for monitoring operations, working parties, pilot measures or projects and seminars involving officials of non-Community

governments,

— ﬁnancing for studies, analyses or simulations,
— ﬁnancing for public awareness campaigns and communication programmes,
— ﬁnancing for assistance, training and technical support measures for non-Community countries,
— ﬁnancial contributions to communication and public awareness campaigns carried out by non-Community countries or outside

bodies,

— ﬁnancing for the organization of bilateral and multilateral meetings between the European Union and non-member countries and

to cover participation by the latter.

A maximum amount of ECU 100 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information
and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the action of which they form an integral part, excluding
expenditure concerning the management of these actions or general administration (see the Commission communication SEC(92) 769

where these sectors are not covered by speciﬁc programmes.

It also covers the following operations:

— dynamic support for all the economic and trade negotiations conducted by the Commission (statistics, studies, simulations, etc.),

— monitoring the application of the agreements by third countries. In other words, monitoring the transposition into the legal system

of third countries, in the form of legislation and regulations, the multilateral or bilateral commitments entered into,

— evaluation of the impact of these agreements on the various production sectors of the Community economy.
Also charged to this article is expenditure included in technical assistance and seminars on the European Union’s GSP and other aspects
of access to the market of the European Union.
A maximum amount of ECU 1 300 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information

Remarks

Interinstitutional Agreement of 29 October 1993 on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 331,
7. 12. 1993, p. 1).
In the light of the conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of 11 and 12 December 1992, the institutions have decided to enter
an emergency aid reserve in the budget.
The aim of this reserve, in accordance with paragraph 15 (c) of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 29 October 1993 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 for humanitarian operations.
When the Commission sees a need to call on this reserve, it will convene a trialogue meeting as soon as possible with a view to securing
the agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need for recourse to the reserve and on the sum required. The
appropriations will be transferred to the budget headings concerned.

Pursuant to the Council Decision of 8 March 1977 referred to above the European Union guarantees loans made by the European
Investment Bank in the context of the European Union’s ﬁnancial commitments in respect of the Mediterranean countries.
This Decision was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the EEC and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on
30 October 1978 and in Luxembourg on 10 November 1978 setting up a comprehensive guarantee, equal to 75 % of all the funds
available for loan operations in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency
aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, former Yugoslavia and Lebanon.
In addition, by way of exception, a 100 % guarantee covers funds allocated as emergency aid for Portugal under the Council Decision
of 7 October 1975.
A new instrument extending the contract of guarantee is drawn up for each new ﬁnancial protocol. The amount of the comprehensive
guarantee is shown in Part D (Table 3) of Annex II to this part of this section of the statement of expenditure.

in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of
the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU

Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997. If, on expiry of this period,
the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be
automatically extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

Council Decision 93/115/EEC of 15 February 1993 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses
under loans for projects of mutual interest in certain third countries (OJ L 45, 23. 2. 1993, p. 27).

Decision 93/115/EEC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank
signed in Brussels on 4 November 1993 and in Luxembourg on 17 November 1993.

Council Decision 96/723/EC of 12 December 1996 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses
under loans for projects of mutual interest in Latin American and Asian countries with which the Community has concluded cooperation
agreements (OJ L 329, 19. 12. 1996, p. 45).
Decision 96/723/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank
signed in Brussels on 18 March 1997 and in Luxembourg on 26 March 1997.
Pursuant to Decisions 93/115/EEC and 96/723/EC, the European Union guarantees loans made by the European Investment Bank on
a case-by-case basis in the countries of Asia and Latin America with which the Community has concluded cooperation agreements.
Council Decision 97/256/EC of 14 April 1997 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under
loans for projects outside the Community (central and eastern Europe countries, Mediterranean countries, Latin American and Asian
countries and South Africa) (OJ L 102, 19. 4. 1997, p. 33).
This Decision was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed
in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of
the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU
900 000 000 is for the following countries of Asia and Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India,
Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. It covers a period of three
years beginning on 31 January 1997. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained
the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically extended by six months.
The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.
This article constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European Union. It will enable the Commission, if necessary,
to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default on the loans granted by the European
Investment Bank.
Any appropriations needed will be allocated to this article by transfer, by re-use of the repayments made in accordance with Article
27 (3) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356,
31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12), or by supplementary
and/or amending budget.
In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources in order to service the debt provisionally. In this
case, Article 12 of Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1552/89 of 29 May 1989 implementing Decision 88/376/EEC, Euratom on
the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 155, 7. 6. 1989, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2729/94
(OJ L 293, 12. 11. 1994, p. 5), will apply.

Annex II to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section gives a summary of borrowing and lending operations, including
debt management, in respect of capital and interest.

from the Community to the former Soviet Union (OJ L 67, 14. 3. 1991, p. 21), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3281/91
(OJ L 310, 12. 11. 1991, p. 1).

Regulation (EEC) No 599/91 was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed between the European Economic Community and the
syndicate of banks, represented by the Deutsche Bank, on 26 November 1991 concerning loans to the former Soviet Union. An
agreement between the European Union and the former Soviet Union, dated 26 November 1991 governs the terms of the loan and the
use of the funds.

This article constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European Union. It will enable the Commission, if necessary,
to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default on the loan of ECU 408 000 000, for a
maximum total amount of ECU 500 000 000.
Any appropriations needed will be allocated to this article by transfer, by re-use of amounts repaid in accordance with Article 27 (3)
of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977,

Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

A. INTRODUCTION

This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 20 (5) (c) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable
to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12).

It provides information about the amounts of the borrowing and lending operations guaranteed by the general budget:
loans for balance of payments support, Euratom and NCI loans and European Investment Bank loans to Mediterranean
Basin countries and, from 1991 onwards, borrowing operations to provide medium-term ﬁnancial assistance to
non-member countries, European Investment Bank loans in the countries of central and eastern Europe, European
Investment Bank loans for projects of mutual interest in certain third countries (developing countries in Asia and Latin
America), European Investment Bank loans to South Africa, the credit guarantee contracted by the former Soviet Union
with a pool of commercial banks to ﬁnance imports of agricultural products and foodstuffs from the European Union
and, since March 1994, Euratom borrowings to contribute to the ﬁnancing required for improving the degree of
efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries.

The main development affecting the amounts of Community borrowings outstanding in 1996 was the decline in the
European Union’s operations. This decline was due to the repayment of ECU 500 000 000 in balance-of-payments loans
to Greece, ECU 500 000 000 in balance-of-payments loans to Italy, ECU 427 300 000 in NCI loans and ECU 152 500 000
in Euratom loans in the Member States and, elsewhere, to the repayment of a tranche of ECU 260 000 000 on a loan to
Hungary and ECU 204 300 000 of the ECU 1 250 000 000 loan to the former Soviet Union and its republics. Loans were
also disbursed to Bulgaria (ECU 40 000 000), Moldova (ECU 15 000 000), Ukraine (ECU 100 000 000), and the
Republics of the former Soviet Union (ECU 700 000).

At 31 December 1996, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled ECU 12 067 000 000; of this total
ECU 5 564 000 000 was inside the European Union and ECU 6 503 000 000 outside.

Council Decision 93/67/EEC of 18 January 1993 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Italian Republic (OJ
L 22, 30. 1. 1993, p. 121).

2. Description

In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are
experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties with their balance of payments. The outstanding amount of
such loans is limited to ECU 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 under this facility is limited to ECU 14 000 000 000 in principal. The balance compared with the ceiling of
ECU 16 000 000 000 may be raised by recourse to the Member States.

For calculating the available balance of the authorized 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 under Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 count against the ceiling.

Decisions to grant loans to Member States are adopted by the Council acting by a qualiﬁed majority.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

Loans are subject to the adoption by the Member State of economic policy measures which will restore a tolerable
balance of payments situation.

The loans are managed by the European Monetary Institute.

3. Effect on budget

Since both parts of these borrowing and on-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget
only if the guarantee is activated should a debtor default.

II. EURATOM BORROWING AND LENDING OPERATIONS

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 77/270/Euratom of 29 March 1977 empowering the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose
of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 88, 6. 4. 1977, p. 9).

Council Decision 77/271/Euratom of 29 March 1977 on the implementation of Decision 77/270/Euratom empowering the
Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 88,
6. 4. 1977, p. 11), authorizing an initial tranche of up to ECU 500 000 000.

Council Decision 80/29/Euratom of 20 December 1979 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom on the implementation of
Decision 77/270/Euratom empowering the Commission to contract Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the
ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 12, 17. 1. 1980, p. 28), increasing from ECU 500 000 000 to ECU 1 000 000 000
the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract.

Council Decision 82/170/Euratom of 15 March 1982 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom as regards the total amount of
Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of
nuclear power stations (OJ L 78, 24. 3. 1982, p. 21), increasing from ECU 1 000 000 000 to ECU 2 000 000 000 the total
amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract.

Council Decision 85/537/Euratom of 5 December 1985 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom as regards the total amount
of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of
nuclear power stations (OJ L 334, 12. 12. 1985, p. 23), increasing from ECU 2 000 000 000 to ECU 3 000 000 000 the total
amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract.

Council Decision 90/212/Euratom of 23 April 1990 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom applying Decision 77/270/
Euratom empowering the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear
power stations (OJ L 112, 3. 5. 1990, p. 26), increasing from ECU 3 000 000 000 to ECU 4 000 000 000 the total amount
of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract.

2. Description

The above Decisions empower the Commission to raise loans on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community,
the proceeds of which are for on-lending to ﬁnance investment projects involving the industrial generation of
nuclear-based electricity and 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 reprocessing and storage of waste will need to be promoted.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

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.

On 24 July 1996 the Commission submitted a report to the Council and the European Parliament on Euratom borrowing
and lending as part of the annual report on Community borrowing and lending operations for 1995 in accordance with
Article 4 of Decision 77/270/Euratom.

3. Effect on budget

Since both parts of these borrowing and on-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget
only if the guarantee is activated should a debtor default.

p. 27), which took effect retrospectively from 1 January 1981, authorizing the Commission to contract loans up to
ECU 80 000 000 in principal after deduction of any amounts lent by the European Investment Bank out of its own
resources for the same purpose.

2. Description

(a) NCI

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 of the Member States. These projects must help attain the priority European Union objectives in the energy,
industry and infrastructure sectors, and assist the ﬁnancing of investment by small- and medium-sized undertakings in
productive sectors and the promotion 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 ﬁxed by unanimous Council decision — are now authorized, following Decision 83/200/EEC, by the
Council acting by a qualiﬁed majority.

Within the limits of the tranches authorized by the Council, the Commission borrows on the capital markets; under a
cooperation agreement between the Commission and the European Investment Bank, the Bank, subject to the
Commission’s decision on the eligibility of projects, is authorized 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 81/19/EEC, 82/268/EEC and 83/200/EEC the Commission, on 24 July 1996, submitted a report to the Council
and the European Parliament covering 1995 on:

— NCI borrowing and lending operations,

— European Union aid granted by way of exception for the reconstruction of the regions affected by the Italian

earthquake in November 1980 and the Greek earthquakes in February and March 1981.

In addition, in accordance with Article 6 of Decision 83/200/EEC the Commission sends the Council and the European
Parliament six-monthly reports on the rate of utilization of NCI tranches.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

On 31 December 1996 there was only some ECU 267 500 000 still available under the various NCIs (including
NCI-earthquakes).

(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 the economic and social infrastructure in the regions of southern Italy and Greece affected by the
earthquakes of 23 November 1980 and February and March 1981 respectively.

The amount which the Commission is allowed to raise is limited to ECU 1 000 000 000 for Italy and ECU 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 ECU 80 000 000 for Greece was raised and on-lent in 1982 under the NCI. For Italy, ECU 950 300 000 out
of the ECU 1 000 000 000 authorized had been paid out at 31 December 1992, 63 % under the NCI and 37 % from the
European Investment 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 ECU
1 000 000 000 in principal granted for investment in the regions of Italy affected by the earthquake in November 1980
under the New Community Instrument for the promotion of investment in the Community in accordance with Article 1
of Decision 78/870/EEC, as supplemented by Article 1 of Decision 81/19/EEC, and/or by the European Investment Bank
from its own funds.

Interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of up to ECU
80 000 000 in principal granted for investment in the regions affected by the Greek earthquake disaster in February and
March 1981 under the New Community Instrument for the promotion of investment in the Community in accordance
with Article 1 of Decision 78/870/EEC, as supplemented by Article 1 of Decision 81/1013/EEC, and/or by the European
Investment Bank from its own funds.

Finally, interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of
up to ECU 100 000 000 in principal granted by the European Investment Bank from its own funds for investment in the
regions of Greece affected by the earthquake in September 1986, in accordance with Article 1 of Decision 88/561/EEC.

3. Effect on 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 provided in Article 4 of the New Community Instrument Decisions should not affect the neutral nature,
from the point of view of the charge 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).

2. Description

The European Union is granting Hungary a medium-term loan of up to ECU 870 000 000 in principal for a maximum
of ﬁve years. The loan is intended to facilitate the adjustment of the Hungarian economy in a way which will enable
it to derive all the beneﬁts of a market-based economy. It will be made available in tranches.

The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 350 000 000 was paid on 20 April 1990. A second tranche of ECU 260 000 000 was paid on
14 February 1991. Hungary repaid the ﬁrst tranche of ECU 350 000 000 in full on 20 April 1995. The second tranche of
ECU 260 000 000 was repaid on 20 April 1996.

Arrangements concerning the payment of the third tranche and the relevant procedural agreement, including the question
of guarantees, will be made at a later stage.

As the break-up of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) and the Gulf crisis threatened to
compromise the initial encouraging results of the reforms undertaken, it was decided to launch a supplementary
borrowing and lending operation for ECU 180 000 000 under the overall ECU 360 000 000 group of 24 industrialized
countries’ aid programme.

The loan is being made available in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 100 000 000 was paid to Hungary on
14 August 1991. The second tranche of ECU 80 000 000 was paid on 15 January 1993.

As part of the group of 24 industrialized countries’ total aid of around ECU 750 000 000 to Czechoslovakia, the
Commission, on behalf of the European Union, is empowered to borrow, in two tranches, ECU 375 000 000 for a period
of seven years. The proceeds of this operation have been on-lent on the same terms to the Czech and Slovak Federal
Republic.

The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 185 000 000 was paid on 14 August 1991. It will be repaid in one instalment after seven years.
The second tranche was paid in February 1992.

The separation into the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on 1 January 1993 meant that the loan contract had to
be amended to divide the amount of the loan between each of the two Republics concerned.

The Czech Republic’s share is ECU 250 000 000 and the Slovak Republic’s ECU 125 000 000.

As part of the group of 24 industrialized countries’ total aid of ECU 580 000 000 to Bulgaria, the Commission, on behalf
of the European Union, is empowered to borrow, in two tranches, ECU 290 000 000 for a period of seven years. The
proceeds of this operation will be on-lent on the same terms to Bulgaria.

The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 150 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 14 August 1991. It will be repaid in one instalment after
seven years. The second tranche of ECU 140 000 000 was paid in February 1992.

on 20 November 1995.

On 23 November 1992 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing and lending operation
in respect of the Baltic States.

The operation involves the borrowing of ECU 220 000 000 divided up as follows:

— ECU 40 000 000 for Estonia,

(b) General budget guarantee

Under the terms of the abovementioned Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans to be
granted by the European Investment Bank as part of the European Union’s ﬁnancial commitments towards the
Mediterranean Basin countries.

This decision was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed by the European Economic Community and the
European Investment Bank on 30 October 1978 in Brussels and 10 November 1978 in Luxembourg introducing a global
guarantee of 75 % of all credit lines made available for loans in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria,
Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Greece, former
Yugoslavia and Lebanon.

In addition, by way of exception, a 100 % guarantee covers loans allocated for emergency aid to Portugal in accordance
with Council Decision of 7 October 1975.

The contract of guarantee is extended for each new Financial Protocol. The level of the global guarantee is given in
Section D (Table 3).

Decision 97/256/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the EEC and the European Investment Bank
signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the
aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums.

2. Description

Under the Financial Protocols concluded with Mediterranean Basin third countries, global amounts are laid down for
loans to be granted by the European Investment Bank from its own funds. The European Investment Bank grants the
loans for purposes which may contribute to the economic and social development of the countries in question (transport
infrastructures, ports, water supply, production and distribution of energy, agricultural projects and promotion of small-
and medium-sized businesses).

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to
renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean
countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West
Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The
overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU 2 310 000 000 is for the
abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997. If, on expiry
of this period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to
above, the period will be automatically extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign
guarantees.

Fund for external action (OJ L 293, 12. 11. 1994, 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 14 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed

since 1 January 1993,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

Previously, the guarantee was applied for the ﬁrst time in February 1988. Since then the European Union has had
to pay 11 times when Lebanon has defaulted. All the ECU 32 009 000 paid out has been repaid.

The guarantee was ﬁrst applied for Syria in March 1990. Since then Syria has defaulted ﬁve times on a total of
ECU 8 100 000 paid out. All this amount has now been repaid.

The guarantee was ﬁrst applied for some of the Republics of the former Yugoslavia in October 1992. Since then the
Commission has had to step in on ﬁve occasions. The total paid out comes ; to ECU 28 572 899; ECU 4 600 000 has

2. Description

In response to a call made by the Council on 9 October 1989, the Board of Governors of the European Investment Bank
decided on 29 November 1989 to authorize the Bank to provide loans from its own resources to ﬁnance investment
projects in Hungary and Poland for a total amount not exceeding ECU 1 000 000 000. These loans are granted to ﬁnance
investment projects which satisfy the Bank’s usual requirements for loans from its own resources.

On 14 May 1991 and 15 March 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting
Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make
in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of two years
up to a maximum of ECU 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided
to renew for three years the European Union guarantee for ECU 3 000 000 000 in European Investment Bank loans for
projects in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
and Albania.

The budget guarantee covers all aspects of debt-servicing (repayment of capital, interest, related costs) in connection
with these loans.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to
renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech
Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is

renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa.
The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall
ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU 375 000 000 is for Republic of South
Africa. It covers a period of three years beginning on 1 July 1997. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the
European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically
extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign
guarantees.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee
Fund for external action (OJ L 293, 12. 11. 1994, 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 14 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed

since 1 January 1993,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

A. EC AND EURATOM BORROWING OPERATIONS WITH A BUDGET GUARANTEE

Macroﬁnancial assistance for non-member countries

1. Macroﬁnancial assistance for the Baltic States

There are no longer any plans for disbursing the second tranches for Estonia and Latvia and the second half of the second
tranche for Lithuania (totalling ECU 85 000 000) of the ECU 220 000 000 loan to the Baltic States decided in 1992.

2. Macroﬁnancial assistance for Romania

Romania III

The ﬁrst tranche (ECU 55 000 000) of the macroﬁnancial assistance of ECU 125 000 000 decided in 1994 was disbursed
in 1995 in support of Romania’s 1994/1995 economic programme. Payment of the second tranche is planned for 1997.

3. Macroﬁnancial assistance for Ukraine

Ukraine II and III

The ﬁrst tranche (ECU 100 000 000) of the macroﬁnancial assistance of ECU 200 000 000 decided in 1995 was disbursed
in two instalments in 1996 in support of Ukraine’s economic programme for 1996. Disbursement of the second tranche
is planned for 1997.

The Commission is also considering a new aid proposal for a maximum of ECU 150 000 000. This assistance could be
disbursed in 1998.

4. Macroﬁnancial assistance for Belarus

The ﬁrst tranche (ECU 30 000 000) of the macroﬁnancial assistance of ECU 55 000 000 decided in 1995 was disbursed
that year in support of Belarus’s economic programme for 1995. In new of the country’s political and economic situation,
there are no plans at present for disbursing the second tranche.

5. Macroﬁnancial assistance for Algeria

Algeria II

The ﬁrst tranche (ECU 100 000 000) of the macroﬁnancial assistance of ECU 200 000 000 decided in 1994 was disbursed
in 1995 in support of Algeria’s 1994/1995 economic programme. Payment of the second tranche could be planned for
1997.

6. Exceptional ﬁnancial assistance for Armenia and Georgia

The Commission is now putting the ﬁnishing touches to a proposal to grant Armenia and Georgia exceptional assistance
totalling ECU 265 000 000, including a loan of ECU 170 000 000 and a grant of ECU 95 000 000. The loan could be
disbursed in 1997.

7. Macroﬁnancial assistance for the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia

The Council decided on 22 July 1997 to grant the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia a medium-term loan of
ECU 40 000 000 in support of its economic programme for 1997. This assistance could be disbursed in 1997.

8. Macroﬁnancial assistance for Bulgaria

Bulgaria III

The Council decided on 22 July 1997 to grant Bulgaria a medium-term loan of up to ECU 250 000 000 in support of its
economic programme for 1997. This assistance could be disbursed in 1997.

Euratom loans to non-member countries

On 21 March 1994 the Council decided to empower the Commission to contract borrowings and grant Euratom loans
to help improve the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in the countries of central and eastern
Europe and in the Commonwealth of Independent States. It is estimated that in the framework of this decision
ECU 200 000 000 will be lent in 1997 and ECU 200 000 000 in 1998.

B. EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK LOANS WITH A GENERAL BUDGET GUARANTEE

1. European Investment Bank loans to non-member Mediterranean countries

The volume of loans signed under the new MED mandate of ECU 2 310 000 000 and the ﬁnancial protocols which have
yet to be committed in full may be estimated at around ECU 850 000 000 in 1997 and around ECU 750 000 000 in 1998.
These forecasts disregard a possible new mandate for Turkey.

2. European Investment Bank loans to non-member countries in central and eastern Europe

Loans of around ECU 1 200 000 000 in 1997 and 1 300 000 000 in 1998 may be signed under the new PECO mandate of
ECU 3 520 000 000 for the countries of central and eastern Europe. No assumptions have been made about any new
mandate for one republic of former Yugoslavia.

4. European Investment Bank loans to other non-member countries

Loans of around ECU 400 000 000 could be signed in 1997 under the ﬁrst ALA mandate for the countries of Asia and
Latin America, the interim mandate and the new mandate of ECU 900 000 000. Loans of around ECU 400 000 000 could
be signed in 1998 under the new mandate.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

1. Tables 1 and 2

Technical notes on Tables 1 to 3

(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 ecu 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 operation (e.g. in 1986), the amount for the latter being converted at the rate of the initial operation.
The resulting duplication affects the annual ﬁgures but is eliminated in the total.

All other amounts are converted at the rate applicable at 31 December 1996.

(c) Column (3) ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 1996’. With reference to 1986, for example, this column

shows the cumulative total of all amounts:

— received up to 31 December 1996 in respect of loans raised in 1986 (Table 1), including reﬁnancing operations

(hence some duplication),

— paid up to 31 December 1996 in respect of loans granted in 1986 (Table 2).

(d) Column (4) ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 1996’: 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 December 1996, including repayments in respect of reﬁnancing operations (total not given
in the tables).

(e) Column (7) = Column (4) − Column (5).

(f) Column (8) = Column (7) − Column (6).

2. Table 3

(a) Column (2) ‘Authorized credit line’: this corresponds to the overall allocation laid down in the Cooperation

Agreement/Financial Protocol.

(b) Column (3) ‘Loans made available (less cancellations)’: this relates to loans signed.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

(c) European Union guarantee: the global 75 % guarantee is equivalent to 75 % of all loans provided, which totalled
ECU 5 238 000 000 at the end of 1996. As the amount outstanding at 31 December 1996 was ECU 2 356 000 000, the
theoretical maximum loss in respect of the global guarantee would be the same. The total risk to the European Union
in respect of EIB loans is thus ECU 2 356 000 000 under the global guarantee and ECU 1 542 000 000 under the full
guarantee (Portugal, central and eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America and South Africa).

Remarks

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 specialized and sometimes
unforeseeable nature of the studies in question. Without such appropriations, the Court of Auditors could be seriously hampered in
performing its duties and its independence could be jeopardized.

This appropriation also includes an amount of ECU 16 000 to cover the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by
independent auditors. The auditors’ report is published in the Offıcial Journal of the European Communities.
