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.

Remarks

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, ECSC, Euratom) No 2548/98 (OJ L 320, 28. 11. 1998, p. 1).

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 (Euratom, EC) No 1355/96 (OJ L 175,
13. 7. 1996, p. 3).

Article 32 of the Financial Regulation states that the balance from each ﬁnancial year, whether surplus or deﬁcit, is entered as revenue
expenditure in the budget of the subsequent ﬁnancial year.
The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budget procedure and, where appropriate,
in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 14 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the
principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1552/89, as last amended by Regulation (Euratom, EC) No 1355/96
(OJ L 175, 13. 7. 1996, p. 3).
After the closure of the accounts for each ﬁnancial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the
following ﬁnancial year through a supplementary and/or amending budget.
A deﬁcit is entered in Chapter B0-3 0 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

Only the corrections to the VAT balances for 1981 to 1985 entered in Chapter 3 1 may lead to adjustments of the ﬁnancial contributions

Remarks

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.

The Centre seeks to maintain a direct link between the work programme and the approved budget. Any modiﬁcations to the tables
included in this item will be communicated beforehand to the budgetary authority.

Given the possible increase or reduction in the call for translation from bodies, freelance or temporary staff will be recruited until the
Centre has reached its normal operational level.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the organization of interinstitutional cooperation between the translation services
through the Centre as stipulated in Council Regulation (EC) No 2610/95 amending Regulation (EC) No 2965/94, and on organizational
matters not directly linked to translation services rendered for the bodies of the European Union.

administrative assistance, for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and partners, will have to
be provided for in the speciﬁc legislation for the relevant programme or action and be the
subject of a decision of the budgetary authority laying down the ceiling.
The Commission undertakes to submit a special report to the budgetary authority, when the
preliminary draft budget is drawn up, on the use of internal and external resources earmarked
for technical and administrative assistance and for support expenditure covered by the
remarks relating to the budget headings concerned.
Upon a reasoned request from either arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must
forward all appropriate information, including the results of work carried out by experts,
concerning the implementation of programmes or actions.

B1-3 6 0 1 (cont’d)

Commission Decision of 16 December 1997 on the IDEA project (electronic identiﬁcation of animals) set up as a pilot project in the
framework of Directive 92/102/EEC.

The integrated administration and control system (IACS) for some Community aid schemes is intended to accompany the reform of
the common agricultural policy. It provides, inter alia, for the setting up of a computerised database for registering holdings and the
livestock on them, a livestock identiﬁcation system and a digital identiﬁcation system for parcels and farmers’ annual declarations.

This appropriation is intended to cover:

— a contribution to the expenditure involved in increasing the staff of the control departments,

— a contribution to the costs involved in recovering sums wrongly paid,

— joint ﬁnancing of expenditure and/or payment of costs under contracts in properly justiﬁed cases (e.g. controls relating to export

refunds, non-payments, intervention storage, etc.),

— expenditure incurred in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2075/92,

— the monitoring of animal protection provisions during the transport of animals for slaughter inside and outside the European Union.

Also charged to this item is expenditure resulting from harmonization of the computer systems of the Commission and the Member
States in order to allow a rapid exchange of data on movements on the agricultural markets and their ﬁnancial consequences.
The appropriations under this item include:
— a maximum of EUR 3 300 000 to cover the introduction of pilot schemes, in the following sectors: pilot study on concerted practices
and agreements, study on the situation regarding invoiced costs, studies on the effectiveness, evaluation and improvement of
Member State and Commission control systems and dissemination of agricultural legislation to the Member States and the general
public,

— a maximum of EUR 1 000 000 to cover global evaluation of measures ﬁnanced by the EAGGF Guarantee Section or under certain

budget chapters of the EAGGF Guarantee Section,

— a maximum of EUR 1 000 000 to cover a study of the possibility of improving the ﬂow of technical and ﬁnancial information
between paying agencies, the Member States and the Commission, and the establishment of a technical and ﬁnancial database to
reinforce the range of tools available for efficient ﬁnancial management of the EAGGF Guarantee Section.

It will also fund expenditure on technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures,
which does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management,
monitoring, audit and supervision of programmes to upgrade the Commission’s computer systems, and expenditure incurred by the
Commission in monitoring the proper implementation of Community expenditure. Such technical and administrative assistance may
only continue as long as the programmes themselves.
A maximum amount of EUR 1 700 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this item, 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 EUR 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

and activities’ (COM(96) 67 ﬁnal).

This appropriation is intended to cover support for the achievement of priority Objective 5a (inside Objective 5b areas) of the Structural
Funds.

Article 130r of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be

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 item, 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 EUR 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.

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 item, 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 EUR 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 intended to cover the ﬁnancing of Community initiative programmes in the ﬁeld of border development,
cross-border cooperation and selected energy networks (Interreg II).

It also covers the ﬁnancing of Community initiatives in the ﬁeld of transnational cooperation on spatial planning and water management

sectors, i.e. spatial planning and water management, in a proportion of one third to two thirds respectively. The Commission shall
provide details on the state of implementation in these two sectors in its quarterly reports.

The part of this programme implemented in non-Community countries will be ﬁnanced from a budget item under Heading 4.

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.

The special programme is intended to support the peace process in both parts of Ireland. The activities of this initiative may complement
and support actions under the International Fund for Ireland (Article B2-6 0 4).

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.

Commission notice to the Member States of 15 June 1994 laying down guidelines for operational programmes or global grants which
they are invited to establish in the framework of a Community initiative concerning the economic conversion of coal-mining areas
(Rechar II) (OJ C 180, 1. 7. 1994, p. 26).
Proposal for a Decision, submitted by the Commission on 10 June 1998, pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, concerning the
transfer of a maximum of ECU 60 000 000 from the operating budget of the European Coal and Steel Community to the general budget
of the European Union to provide extra funding for the Community initiatives Rechar II and Resider II (SEC(98) 967 ﬁnal).

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of Community initiatives making a contribution to the economic conversion of
coal-mining areas (Rechar II).

Given that the sectors involved continue to suffer large-scale job losses, ﬁnancial priority will be given to actions in favour of human
resources.

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

Commission notice to the Member States of 15 June 1994 laying down guidelines for operational programmes or global grants which
they are invited to establish in the framework of a Community initiative concerning the economic conversion of steel areas (Resider
II) (OJ C 180, 1. 7. 1994, p. 22).
Proposal for a Decision, submitted by the Commission on 10 June 1998, pursuant to Article 95 of the ECSC Treaty, concerning the
transfer of a maximum of ECU 60 000 000 from the operating budget of the European Coal and Steel Community to the general budget
of the European Union to provide extra funding for the Community initiatives Rechar II and Resider II (SEC(98) 967 ﬁnal).

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of Community initiatives making a contribution to the economic conversion of
steel areas (Resider II).

Given that the sectors involved continue to suffer large-scale job losses, ﬁnancial priority will be given to actions in favour of human
resources.

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 item, 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 EUR 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.
This appropriation may be increased by part of the revenue allocated to Item 6 0 9 4 of the general statement of revenue.

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 mobilise 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.

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 EUR 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.
This appropriation should also be used for the implementation of the habitat and birds Directives and for the establishment of the Natura
2000 network.
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 also 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.

It also covers the ﬁnancing of studies, analyses, organizational measures, meetings, the dissemination of information and exchange of
experience, and an examination of the best ways and methods of implementation, monitoring and control by the Commission and the
Member States of the environmental aspects of the Structural Funds and is to guarantee that, through application of the principle of

The Member States are called on to comply with Community legislation on the environment in order to be able to have access to the
Cohesion Fund.
All major projects ﬁnanced under the Cohesion Fund must be covered by a prior environmental impact assessment.
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 Cohesion Fund cannot be implemented unless the measures ﬁnanced by this Fund 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
understanding of 8 December 1995.
To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this article involving more than EUR 50 000 000, the Commission must submit an environmental
statement on the basis of Article 130r of the Treaty and an environmental compliance clause. 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.
Regional effects of the transport infrastructures ﬁnanced through the Cohesion Fund must be assessed in advance, so as to ensure that
the projects do not further marginalise poor and peripheral regions, running counter to the spatial, social and economic cohesion
principle.

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

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 EUR 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.

Remarks

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.

It 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.

— Action 2 — Cooperation to promote exchanges and pooling of experience and the development of applied techniques,

— innovation and new technologies,
— mobility and vocational training,
— exchanges of experience and information,

— Action 3 — Public access to and participation in heritage and awareness-raising activities:

— support for transnational joint projects aimed at making all works of art available to the public,
— support for activities to raise awareness of European cultural heritage,
— support for multilingual presentations of culture.

— Action 4 — Cooperation with third countries and international organizations:

— support for projects carried out together with third countries relating to Actions 1, 2 and 3,

— support for projects carried out in collaboration with the Council of Europe and Unesco.

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

This appropriation is also intended to cover the cost of cooperation between the Commission and the Presidencies of the European
Union and technical support for the programme.

A maximum amount of EUR 350 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

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 specialising 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 emphasise aid to production and those which emphasise aid to
distribution.

— to encourage the creation of European networks and to make them part of working practices, enterprise culture and professional

mentalities in Europe.

Three actions are planned for 1999:

— ﬁlm distribution by electronic means (by cable, satellite, etc.):

— a feasibility study on current managerial practice with regard to European ﬁlm distribution and on the limitations of an

electronic distribution centre and different individual screening possibilities (cinemas, etc.),

— funding for a pilot scheme selected on the basis of a call for proposals,

— opportunities for new technology for European cartoon networks:

— creating a network of production companies will facilitate the exchange of information, data, work and know-how among the

companies involved, helping to reduce production costs and increase competitiveness,

— creation of a European audiovisual producers network based on digital technology.

The creation of broadcasting networks for cultural events (operas, ballets, plays, cultural events, etc.) will be encouraged so as to
facilitate more widespread distribution throughout the European Union, especially in more isolated regions.

The preparatory work in the audiovisual sector under this heading should support networks that promote European cinema at a regional
and local level.
A feasibility study including funding requirements, material availability and audience potential to establish a pan-European digital
television channel for European ﬁlm and drama will be drawn up.
Support will be provided for non-commercial radio broadcasters in respect of the development of the European dimension thereof and

industry and markets,

— Regular consultations involving representatives of all areas of the audiovisual industry on drafting and implementing policies, as
part of an ongoing institutionalized dialogue, in the form of a panel which would constitute a follow-up group on the various
audiovisual conferences. Its task would be to assist the Commission during the transitional period now beginning, until MEDIA II
comes to an end, so as to be in a position to make proposals, on the basis of experimental programmes within an audiovisual
framework programme, which would enable the MEDIA II objectives to be enhanced and broadened, and to equip itself with the

Remarks

European Parliament resolution of 14 May 1998 on information and communication policy in the European Union (OJ C 167, 1. 6. 1998,
p. 230).
There are two types of measures:
— measures carried out by the representations in the Member States:

— direct communication measures (Eurojus, conferences, seminars, discussions, European events, including on sports, etc.),

— measures carried out from Commission headquarters:

— dissemination of information (brochures, the Europa site, television, radio, Euronews, Europe by satellite, etc.),
— measures through civil society (via those active in the social sphere, trade unions, sporting events at European level (Eurathlon),

aimed at young people and women).

The regional publications issued by the Commission on the impact of the various Community funds and policies in the Member States
shall be ready by the beginning of March 1999.
A special page for schools shall be opened on the Europa website with the aim of providing young people with information on the
European Union and the various programmes which concern them. It must be possible to consult the Europa website in all official
languages of the European Union.
This appropriation is also earmarked to pay for televisual information services on the European Union and its institutions provided by
TV channels which fulﬁl the following criteria:
— ensure pan-European coverage,
— work through a minimum of four languages,

— are committed to and capable of developing European information programmes,

— address as wide an audience as possible.

The holding of the European elections in June 1999 will offer a further reason to strengthen cooperation and synergy between the
Commission and the European Parliament in the information sector.

The Working Party on ongoing information activities shall be responsible for the coordination of the information and communication
activities run at interinstitutional level.

A minimum amount of EUR 3 000 000 is intended to ﬁnance information activities implemented at decentralized level by the
Commission and European Parliament external offices. A presentation of these activities shall be made once a year (before Parliament’s
ﬁrst reading) to the budgetary authority at the general meeting with representatives of both institutions. Furthermore, the Commission
representatives and offices in the Member States will draw up a report on their activities for the European Parliament in March 1999,
with a view to assessing cooperation and synergies with the European Parliament’s offices.

A maximum amount of EUR 200 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies, such as the euro and
Agenda 2000.
In 1999 it covers commitments for ‘The euro — a currency for Europe’ and Agenda 2000, which involves:

— partnerships with the Member States,

— transnational partnerships with the civil society,

— information measures in non-member countries,

— developing information media (publications, Internet site, exhibitions, audiovisual products, using television, notably via Euronews,

opinion polls, support for conferences, etc.),

These measures are designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and
the Community institutions.

They take account of speciﬁc national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities.

The offices and external departments of the Commission in the Member States will draw up an annual report on their activities and
projects to be submitted to the European Parliament in March 1999, analysing in particular the way in which their activities have been
decentralized in each of the Member States, the services provided to the public and the cooperation and synergy with the European

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 notify the Working Party of the annual programme of priority information measures it intends to run and seek
its advisory opinion.

The payment appropriations are also intended to cover the balances to be settled for ‘Citizens First’, which was completed in 1997, and
‘Building Europe Together’, which was completed in 1998.

It will also fund technical and administrative assistance to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures which does not
fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and
supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.

A maximum amount of EUR 1 160 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

New article

Each year, the European Union is involved in very notable events (for example European Year against Racism and Xenophobia, Expo,
exhibitions, etc) where the active presence of the Union is necessary and desirable, at least through a ﬁnancial contribution to those
activities.
This appropriation is intended to ﬁnance the Commission’s contribution to Expo 2000, which will be held that year in Hanover from
1 June to 30 October. The theme is ‘Humankind, nature, technology and environment’. Most directorates-general will be participating
in this world event, which is expected to be visited by some 40 million people.

This appropriation is also intended to ﬁnance a European campaign to combat violence against women.

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 136 thereof.

Treaty on European Union, and in particular Declaration No 23 of the Final Act thereof, which asserts that cooperation with charitable
associations and foundations as institutions responsible for social welfare establishments and services, is an important means of
pursuing the Community’s objectives.

Such cooperation should also be encompassed, therefore, within the measures undertaken by the Community and the Member States
with a view to attaining the objectives laid down in Article 136 of the EC Treaty, without disregarding the variety of individual national
practices, especially where relations based on agreement are concerned, or the need to maintain the competitiveness of the Community
economy.

By virtue of the subsidiarity principle, charitable associations are a linchpin of social protection and solidarity and help to promote
Community social policy in accordance with Article 136 of the EC Treaty. Their activities and actions speciﬁcally related to social
policy should therefore be supported.

since they uphold social rights, champion the cause of the underprivileged and excluded, promote the spread of voluntary social service,
provide forums for social progress, pass on innovations to develop social aids, bring their members together in representative
democratic groupings in the form of associations or organizations with similar legal status, run social institutions and services on a
non-proﬁt basis in the public interest, and employ substantial workforces active in the ﬁelds concerned.

Also charged to this item is an allocation of EUR 600 000 for the Platform of European Social NGOs.

This appropriation is intended to cover the subsidy paid to the International Information Centre of the International Labour Office.

It also covers the cost of information and public awareness campaigns and training measures for health workers.

to step up cooperation with international organizations such as the International Labour Organization, the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, the World Health Organization and the International Maritime Organization.

This operation is designed to guarantee proper application of the Community directives on safety and health protection at the
workplace, to continue promoting the establishment of strict standards for safety and health protection at the workplace in the
Community, and to secure effective participation of the two sides of industry in planning, formulating and implementing the
Community policy initiated by the Commission for the safety and health protection of workers.
This appropriation also covers pilot projects on environmental training for workers in small and medium-sized businesses.
It also covers a subsidy for the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Health and Safety (TUTB).

— help create the necessary conditions for the implementation of a Community action plan for renewable energy sources, and in

particular the legal, socio-economic and administrative conditions,

— encourage private and public investment in the production and use of energy from renewable sources.
Speciﬁc measures to promote renewable energy sources fall into ﬁve categories:
— studies and other actions, intended to implement and complement Community measures taken to develop the potential of renewable
energy sources. These include the development of sectoral and market strategies, the development of norms and standards, grouped
procurement and the analysis of the legal, socio-economic and administrative conditions which are more favourable to the
penetration of renewable energies, and the preparation of appropriate legislation,

— pilot measures aimed at creating or extending infrastructures and instruments for the development of renewable energies in:

— local and regional planning,

— planning, conception and evaluation tools,

— new ﬁnancial and market instruments,

— measures intended to develop information, education and training structures so as to encourage exchanges of experience and
know-how designed to improve coordination between international, Community, national, regional and local activities; creation of
a centralized system for gathering and disseminating information on renewable energies,

— targeted actions facilitating the market penetration of renewable energy markets and relevant know-how, in order to facilitate the
transition from demonstration to marketing, and encouraging investment, by advising on the presentation and preparation of
projects and their implementation,

— other measures relating to:

— monitoring of the implementation of a Community strategy and action plan for developing renewable energy sources,

— support for initiatives taken in implementation of the action plan, particularly promotion through improved coordination and

greater synergy between measures, including other activities ﬁnanced by the Community,

in Community programmes. An amount of EUR 2 000 000 is to be earmarked speciﬁcally for measures relating to support for
information networks between cities, regions and islands;
to the budgetary authority on the
implementation of these measures before 30 September 1998,

the Commission will report

— studies with a view to possible legislative measures and minimum standards, especially in the building sector, in transport and with

regard to electrical appliances,

— sectoral pilot measures aimed at accelerating energy efficiency investment and/or improving consumer energy use patterns,
— targeted sectoral pilot actions aimed at accelerating energy efficiency investment and/or improving consumer energy use patterns,
— measures proposed by the Commission or third parties to foster the exchange of experience through information networks aimed
at promoting better coordination between European Union, international, national and regional activities through the establishment
of appropriate means for exchanging information,

— actions relating to the monitoring of energy efficiency progress in the European Union and in individual Member States,
— speciﬁc actions in favour of greater cohesion in Member States and regions in the ﬁeld of energy efficiency through support for the
creation of energy efficiency infrastructures in those Member States whose energy efficiency policies are not yet sufficiently
developed,

— speciﬁc actions in favour of energy management at the regional and urban level,
— complementary actions with third countries to promote energy policy initiatives aimed at a more rational use of energy and

protection of the environment.

For all signiﬁcant projects ﬁnanced by this item, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r
of the Treaty.
A maximum amount of EUR 200 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications

Remarks

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 155, ﬁrst indent.

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 a series of preparatory measures intended to deﬁne and implement the
Community policy on telecommunications and postal services and to monitor the application of the legislation adopted under that
policy in order to increase the ‘Community added value’ and the synergy between European telecommunications and postal-service
operators.

The speciﬁc objectives of these preparatory measures are:

— an analysis of the legislation adopted and its application (‘1999 review’, universal service, competition, consolidation of the legal

framework, etc.),

In accordance with the general aim of maintaining the proper functioning of the internal market, in particular through the mutual
recognition of standards and the establishment of European standards in suitable cases, the objectives of this operation are as follows:

— to carry out the work needed to apply international information technology standards uniformly throughout the Community,

— to have the competent standardization bodies draw up the standards necessary for the implementation of the Community’s

telecommunications policy,

— to specify methods of certiﬁcation for telecommunications and lay down technical methods of certiﬁcation,
— to prepare the standards and technical

regulations necessary for

the implementation of

the Community’s policy on

telecommunications and postal services (ﬁxed and mobile communications, satellites),

— to carry out the work needed to check and certify that products and services conform to these standards,
— to encourage use of these standards in public procurement contracts,
— to coordinate the various operations to prepare the standards and to do more to implement them (user’s guides, demonstrations,

etc.),

— to encourage and regulate electronic commerce,
— to reinforce Europe’s role in the work of the international standardization organizations,
— to undertake all other appropriate standardization measures, pursuant to the White Paper, concerning new technology and services

(payment cards, audio and video equipment, home computers, etc.) or advanced production equipment.

The Community ﬁnance is to be used to frame and implement the standardization action in consultation with the main participants:
industry, workers’ representatives, the national and European standards institutions, the public procurement agencies in the Member
States, users and industrial policy-makers.
This appropriation is intended to cover:
— ﬁnancial obligations arising from contracts to be signed with the European standardization organizations (such as ETSI, CEN and

Cenelec),

— acquisition and use of hardware and hire of premises for demonstration projects,
— checking and certifying conformity with the standards, and demonstration projects,
— contract expenditure for the execution of the programme and projects indicated above. The contracts in question cover the following
speciﬁc areas: research, association, evaluation, technical operations, coordination, scholarships, grants, training and mobility of
scientiﬁc staff, participation in international agreements and participation in expenditure on equipment.

Representation of private consumers’ interests also needs to be enhanced, as well as the assessment of the environmental impact of
different options for standardization in this ﬁeld.

Cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe will be ﬁnanced from category 4 of the ﬁnancial perspective
(Article B7-5 0 0).

A maximum amount of EUR 170 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

In accordance with the Commission communication of 10 May 1988 on an enterprise policy for the Community (COM(88) 241/2 ﬁnal)
and the Commission Decisions of 21 December 1988 instituting a Eurotech Capital pilot scheme (E/1783/88) and of 17 December 1991
on Community instruments to encourage the development of venture capital in the Community (E/1781/91), this article is intended to
permit the ﬁnancing of pilot projects designed to encourage the provision of equity capital for small and medium-sized enterprises,
either through transfrontier syndicates of investors or through investments in enterprises developing transfrontier high-technology and
clean-technology projects. It also covers the work involved in launching, monitoring and evaluating these measures.

The projects concerned must contribute to the reconstruction or improvement of the regional economic and social fabric. This article,
intended for an investor from a new Member State, thus makes it possible to cover the new Member States as a whole.
It also covers justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of
the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.

Council Decision 96/339/EC of 20 May 1996 adopting a multiannual Community programme to stimulate the development of a
European multimedia content industry and to encourage the use of multimedia content in the emerging information society (INFO 2000)
(OJ L 129, 30. 5. 1996, p. 24).

The INFO 2000 programme has four strategic long-term objectives:

— to create an environment favourable to the development of the European multimedia content industry,

— to stimulate demand and the use of multimedia content,

— to contribute to the professional, social and cultural development of European citizens,
— to develop the exchange of know-how between users and suppliers of knowledge-based multimedia products and infrastructure.
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.
To permit the implementation of major measures to promote access to information held by the public sector in partnership with the
private sector, additional preparatory measures will be carried out, taking account inter alia of the proposals contained in the Green
Paper on public sector information and its multilingual aspects.
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,
training and mobility of scientiﬁc staff, participation in international
technical operations, coordination, scholarships, grants,
agreements and participation in expenditure on equipment, accompanying and support measures, and in particular studies and measures
for the dissemination, publication, promotion and exploitation of results.
It will also fund technical and administrative assistance to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures which does not
fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and
supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.
A maximum amount of EUR 250 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

heighten awareness among the public, including educationalists and consumers,

— to encourage joint action, support the establishment of codes of conduct and ensure the interoperability of the different systems,
— to support the development, application and coordination of ﬁltering and coding systems,
— to study the legal aspects, such as liability, and to lay down mandatory rules,
— to encourage providers to develop means of self-regulation to ensure that the Internet is not used to distribute child pornography

or information relating to the trafficking and sexual exploitation of women and children.

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of a multiannual Community plan on promoting safe use of the Internet.
These actions will be the subject of shared-cost contracts covering the following speciﬁc areas: association, evaluation, coordination,
grants, training, awareness-heightening efforts, technical operations and studies, as well as participation in international projects.
It will also fund technical and administrative assistance to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures which does not
fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and
supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme

Council Decision 98/347/EC of 19 May 1998 on measures of ﬁnancial assistance for innovative and job-creating small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (OJ L 155, 29. 5. 1998, p. 43).
In keeping with the conclusions of the Amsterdam European Council, this action is also aimed at increasing growth and employment
in a context of equal opportunities for men and women, by enhancing the availability to SMEs of loans or any other types of medium-
or long-term debt ﬁnance and/or equity.
75 % of the appropriations should be directed to SMEs in innovative sectors, including tourism, with not more than 100 employees.
This appropriation covers in particular the ﬁnancing of:
— payments of fees in respect of guarantees extended by the European Investment Fund (EIF) to facilitate the increase in the volume
of lending made, and in the investment risk borne, by the European Investment Bank (EIB), commercial banks, investment funds
or other appropriate intermediaries in connection with their small and medium-sized enterprise operations,
— investment fund holdings in newly created enterprises and high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises.
Any additional appropriations required 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 L356, 31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, ECSC, Euratom) No 2548/98 (OJ L 320, 28. 11. 1998, p. 1), or by
supplementary and/or amending budget.
In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources 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 (Euratom, EC) No 1355/96 (OJ L 175,

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).
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).
Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 19 March 1998, amending Regulation (EC) No 2236/95 laying
down general rules for the granting of Community ﬁnancial aid in the ﬁeld of trans-European networks (OJ C 175, 9. 6. 1998, p. 7).
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 utilised to ensure that investment is structured as follows:
— railways (including combined transport): minimum 55 %,
— roads: maximum 25 %,
— traffic management and telematics: maximum 15 %.

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

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

A maximum of 60 % 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 Decision No
1692/96/EC.

A maximum amount of EUR 4 500 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

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

(IDA) (OJ C 54, 21. 2. 1998, p. 12).
All the rules and regulations establishing, in the context of the implementation of Community policies and activities, in particular
regarding the operation of the internal market and the Community frontier-free area, an obligation either to implement telematic
networks between administrations or to exchange information, for which electronic means are appropriate.
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the implementation of the IDA measure (interchange of data between
administrations), the objective of which is to provide through the trans-European networks the support needed by administrations,
including economic operators and regional and local authorities, for the interchange of the telematic information, data and documents
necessary for the functioning of the Community and, in particular, the operation of the internal market.
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 computerised 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.

Council Decision 1999/.../Euratom of ... January 1999, adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and training to be implemented by
the Joint Research Centre by means of direct actions for the European Atomic Energy Community (1998 to 2002) (OJ L ..., ..., p. ...).
This appropriation covers expenditure relating to the staff complement of the Joint Research Centre, for the execution of tasks entrusted
to it, and in particular:
— direct actions, consisting of scientiﬁc and technical support activities, research activities and exploratory research activities

undertaken in the establishments of the Joint Research Centre,

— indirect actions, consisting of programmes implemented as part of the Joint Research Centre’s activities conducted on a competitive

basis.

In view of the fact that there is a shortfall in the actual staff complement (due to the way in which research centres operate), this
appropriation will also cover expenditure relating to visiting scientists, fellows and seconded staff.

The revenue in respect of staff employed on work carried out by the Joint Research Centre for outside bodies will be used to provide
additional appropriations (Items 6 2 2 1, 6 2 2 3 and 6 2 2 6 of the statement of revenue).

The appropriations could be supplemented by JRC participation on a competitive basis in (indirect) shared-cost activities and in
scientiﬁc and technical activities in support of Community policies.

The Joint Research Centre will make every effort to ensure that at least 35 % of the staff is recruited on three-year non-renewable
contracts. It will report before 1 October 1999 on its achievements.

Council Decision 94/919/Euratom of 15 December 1994 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and technological development,
including demonstration, to be implemented by the Joint Research Centre for the European Atomic Energy Community (1995 to 1998)
(OJ L 361, 31. 12. 1994, p. 132).

The joint programme for 1984 to 1987 covered the following ﬁve areas: industrial technologies, thermonuclear fusion, nuclear ﬁssion,
non-nuclear energies and the environment.

The joint programme for 1988 to 1991 covered the following three areas: quality of life, modernisation of industrial sectors and energy,
to which exploratory research was added.

The joint programme for 1992 to 1994 covered the following ﬁve areas: industrial and materials technologies, the environment, nuclear
energy, utilisation of human resources and exploratory research. All commitments entered into from 1992 to 1993 and, from 1994, those
relating to nuclear activities are covered.

The joint nuclear programme for 1994 to 1998 covered the following two areas: nuclear safety and security and controlled
thermonuclear ﬁssion, and also included participation in shared-cost actions.

This appropriation is intended to cover earlier commitments.
The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows:

Research Centre for the European Atomic Energy Community (1996 to 1999) (OJ L 172, 11. 7. 1996, p. 23).
This article is intended to cover expenditure on the programmes to be carried out from 1996 to 1999 under the HFR supplementary
programme.
This programme, to which the contributions should come from the Netherlands, Germany and France, chieﬂy concerns:
— the reliability of the high-ﬂux reactor (HFR) at Petten; this activity involves the normal use of the installation for more than 250

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

— 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.

Additional appropriations will be opened for this article, in accordance with Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation, to cover speciﬁc
expenditure for each contract with an outside body to the amount of the revenue to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

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 speciﬁc 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 8).
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, ECSC, Euratom) No 2548/98 (OJ L 320, 28. 11. 1998, p. 1).
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 5 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.

scientists, participation in international agreements, Community participation in COST and Eureka projects and the provision of
facilities and equipment.
Also entered against these articles and items 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 (COM(93)

203 and COM(98) 275 ﬁnal),

— development of new methods to strengthen transnational partnerships,
— action taken by the Commission to promote coordination of national and Community RTD policies and to keep them consistent,
— coordination of the RTD activities with other Community RTD policies and action taken by the Commission to explore fully the

strategic links between RTD and the realities of the market.

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.
Other action will focus, in particular, on concertation between the Member States and the national and European scientiﬁc bodies on
the general and sectoral policies and measures taken at national level.
These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations
or not (in accordance with Articles 19 and 93 of the Financial Regulation), 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.
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 (broken down by booking code).
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 Articles 6 0 1, 6 0 2 and 6 0 5 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, ECSC, Euratom) No 2548/98 (OJ L 320, 28. 11. 1998,
p. 1).

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (ﬁrms from 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.

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

Improving the quality of life and health are major challenges which the Community plans to tackle. The speciﬁc objective of this
programme is to help to increase knowledge and develop technologies in the ﬁeld of the living world with a view to improving the
quality of life and health and opening up new prospects in areas where the Community already has a strong hand, such as
biotechnology, agroindustry and health care. At the same time, progress in this area will help to make the Community’s enterprises more
competitive.
This programme covers the following activities:
— key actions on:

— health, food and environmental factors (18 to 20 % of the appropriation),
— control of infectious diseases (12 to 14 % of the appropriation),
— the ‘cell factory’ (14 to 16 % of the appropriation),
— sustainable management of agriculture, ﬁsheries and forestry, including integrated development of rural areas and mountain

areas (20 to 22 % of the appropriation),

— research and technological development activities of a generic nature (20 to 22 % of the appropriation),
— support for research infrastructures (2 to 3 % of the appropriation).
Funding is excluded for research work resulting in modiﬁcation of the human genotype, through manipulation of germ cells or at a
different stage of embryonic development, which might become part of the genotype, or for work in the area of human cloning and
living-embryo research.
Approximately 10 % of the expenditure must be earmarked for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Research shall include the evaluation of the effectiveness, the safety and area of application of the non-conventional therapies.
This appropriation is intended to cover:
— indirect action:

— shared-cost action: research and technological development (RTD) projects, demonstration projects, integrated projects
combining RTD and demonstration, support for access to research infrastructure, technology stimulation projects to encourage
and facilitate SME participation in RTD activities (‘cooperative research’ projects and ‘exploratory awards’),

— training fellowships,

— thematic networks,

— concerted action,

— accompanying measures,

— action for coordination with other speciﬁc programmes implementing this framework programme and with other measures (Eureka,

COST, PHARE, TACIS, European Investment Fund, the Structural Funds and the European Investment Bank).

The Commission will present in its ‘Report on the implementation of the budget of the European Union’ every time it appears, an
Annex with information on the execution of all key actions. This information should be as detailed as if the key actions were separate
budget lines.

The amount available for administrative expenditure is limited to EUR 31 144 000.

The indicative breakdown of this expenditure is as follows:

— research and external staff (codes 2 and 3 of the table of equivalence): 73 %,

The strategic goal is to contribute to sustainable development by focusing on key activities crucial for social well-being and economic
competitiveness in Europe. Promoting environmental science and technology will improve our quality of life, decouple economic
growth, including resources utilisation, from environmental degradation and contribute in the short and longer term to European
competitiveness and employment. Developing sustainable energy systems for Europe and contributing to a more sustainable
development world-wide will lead to increased security and diversity of supply, improved industrial competitiveness and reduced
environmental impact.

European scientiﬁc and technological culture,

— to prepare for the accession of new Member States,

— to help European research players acquire information and gain experience of research capacity, activity and priorities of

industrialised third countries and ‘emerging economy’ countries.

International RTD cooperation will be pursued in two forms in the ﬁfth framework programme: ﬁrstly, through this ‘international
cooperation’ programme and secondly, through the other speciﬁc programmes.

This programme covers the following ﬁelds (speciﬁc activities under the ‘international cooperation’ programme):

— cooperation with certain categories of third country:

— States in the pre-accession phase,

— New Independent States and central and eastern European countries not in the pre-accession phase,

— Mediterranean partner countries,

— research for development,

— emerging economy and industrialised non-EU countries,

— training of researchers,

Council Decision 1999/.../EC of ... January 1999 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research, technological development and
demonstration on ‘Promotion of innovation and encouragement of participation of SMEs’ (1998 to 2002) (OJ L ..., ..., p. ...).

Innovation is a key factor in industrial competitiveness, sustainable economic and social development and job creation. The aim is to
promote innovative activities, including the creation of innovative enterprises, and to facilitate the dissemination and exploitation of
research results and support technology transfer.
Small and medium-sized businesses are important vectors and players in innovation. Their development can make a vital contribution
to economic growth and social well-being, the emergence of new economic activities, job creation and competitiveness. Small ﬁrms
should be provided with easy access to the new technologies which they need, and to the possibilities offered by the Community’s as
well as the Member States’ research programmes.
Promoting innovation and encouraging participation by SMEs are closely linked activities. Consequently, these two ﬁelds will be
covered by the same activity under the framework programme to complement the activities undertaken in the Member States and in
the other programmes under the framework programme.
Three speciﬁc objectives will give direction to the action taken to implement this activity:
— promotion of innovation: by helping to implement innovation policies in the European Union, by creating an environment
conducive to innovation, by enhancing public awareness, by better dissemination, exploitation and transfer of research results and
by facilitating access, by participants in the programme (particularly SMEs), to instruments which support innovation (project-type
methods for technology transfer, innovation trend chart, information networks and services, assistance in the area of intellectual
property and access to private ﬁnance, establishment of mechanisms for exploitation and transfer of results, etc.),

— encouraging SME participation: stimulation of participation by SMEs in research projects and transfers of technologies;
encouragement for the establishment of networks, partnerships and transnational links with other SMEs and also with other players
(big businesses, research centres, universities, ﬁnancial institutions, regional authorities, bodies to support innovation and transfer
of technologies) in order, in particular, to integrate and disseminate new technologies (one-stop office, joint assistance instruments
for SMEs, etc.),

— interaction with activities in other programmes: the activities will be conducted in concertation to ensure efficiency and consistency
in the establishment and management of activities under the thematic programmes in connection with innovation and participation
by SMEs.

This appropriation is intended to cover:
— indirect RTD action:

— shared-cost action: research and technological development (RTD) projects, demonstration projects, integrated projects
combining RTD and demonstration, support for access to research infrastructure, technology stimulation projects to encourage
and facilitate SME participation in RTD activities (‘cooperative research’ projects and ‘exploratory awards’),

— training fellowships,

— thematic networks,

— concerted action,

— accompanying measures,

— action for coordination with other speciﬁc programmes implementing this framework programme and with other measures (Eureka,

COST, PHARE, TACIS, European Investment Fund, the Structural Funds and the European Investment Bank).

The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to EUR 5 900 000.

Council Decision 1999/.../EC of ... January 1999 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and training on ‘Preserving the ecosystem’
(1998 to 2002) (OJ L ..., ..., p. ...).
The aim of this measure is to help exploit the full potential of nuclear energy, by making current technologies even safer and more
economical. It has three distinct components:
— a key action on nuclear ﬁssion, the aims of which are to enhance the safety of Europe’s nuclear facilities and the protection of
workers and the public from radiation, to help solve waste management and disposal problems and to improve the competitiveness
and social acceptability of Europe’s nuclear industry,

— research and technological development activities of a generic nature, the aim of which is to consolidate and advance European
knowledge and competence in several areas that are important for the safe and competitive use of nuclear ﬁssion and other industrial
and medical uses of ionising radiation and for the management of natural sources of radiation,

— support for research infrastructure, to further integrate nuclear research within the European Union so that available resources can
be used more effectively to the competitive advantage of European industry, and to ensure the continuing safe and socially
acceptable exploitation of nuclear technologies.

This action will take the form of:
— indirect action on research and training

— shared-cost action: research and technological development projects, demonstration projects, integrated projects combining

research, training and demonstration, support for access to research infrastructure,

— fellowships,
— thematic networks and research training networks,
— concerted action,
— accompanying measures,

— other action,
— action for coordination with other speciﬁc programmes implementing this framework programme and with other measures (Eureka,

COST, PHARE, TACIS, European Investment Fund, the Structural Funds and the European Investment Bank).

Radiation protection research must include wide-ranging research on genomic instability.

The European Union may not support any research with possible implications for nuclear weapons proliferation of any kind.

New item

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

Council Decision 1999/.../Euratom of ... January 1999 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and training on ‘Preserving the
ecosystem’ (1998 to 2002) (OJ L ..., ..., p. ...).

The aim of this action is to help exploit the full potential of nuclear energy by exploring new promising thermonuclear fusion concepts.
Accordingly, it encompasses a key action on controlled thermonuclear fusion, the aim of which is to further develop the necessary basis
for the possible construction of an experimental reactor, as well as the basic concepts and the technologies required in the long term
for the reactor.

Subsection B6
(Research and technological development)

CHAPTER B6-6 5 — EAEC FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME (cont’d)

B6-6 5 1 (cont’d)

B6-6 5 1 2 (cont’d)

This will take the form of:

— indirect action on research and training:

— shared-cost action: research and technological development projects, demonstration projects, integrated projects combining

research, training and demonstration, support for access to research infrastructure,

— fellowships,

— thematic networks,

— concerted action,

— accompanying measures,

— other action,

— action for coordination with other speciﬁc programmes implementing this framework programme and with other measures.

The amount available for administrative expenditure is EUR 26 778 000.

The indicative breakdown of this expenditure is as follows:

— research and external staff (codes 2 and 3 of the table of equivalence): 90 %,
— missions and administration, including technical evaluation assistance (codes 4 and 5 of the table of equivalence): 6 %,
— infrastructure, movable property and data processing (codes 6 and 7 of the table of equivalence): 3 %,
— communication (code 8 of the table of equivalence): 1 %.
This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 244 staff (191 A, 42 B and 11 C). At the same time, the Jet Euratom
establishment plan must be reduced by 48 A, 20 B and two C posts.
This appropriation is also intended for meeting the possible ﬁnancial obligations arising from the Decision of the Court of First Instance
of 12 December 1996 (Joined Cases T-177/94 and T-377/94) that the Jet statutes and associated supplementary rules and administrative
procedures are discriminatory and unlawful in their effects on certain groups of staff.
The European Union may not support any research with possible implications for nuclear weapons proliferation of any kind.
Radiation protection research must include wide-ranging research on genomic instability.
The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows:

— milk powder or equivalent products rich in protein,

— 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).

CHAPTER B7-2 0 — FOOD AID AND SUPPORT OPERATIONS (cont’d)

B7-2 0 2 (cont’d)

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.),

— 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.
It will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which does not
fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and
supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.
A maximum amount of EUR 14 000 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

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 EUR 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 EUR 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,
— monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, promotion and development of initiatives intended to increase coordination and

cooperation so as to make aid more effective and improve monitoring of projects and plans,

— supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the aid concerned,
— measures to strengthen Community coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international organizations,

non-governmental organizations and organizations representing the latter,

— public awareness and information campaigns,
— the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian projects up to a maximum amount of

EUR 7 000 000,

— 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

— humanitarian mine clearance operations including public awareness campaigns for local communities on anti-personnel mines.

A maximum amount of EUR 2 550 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

It will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which does not
fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and
supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.

A maximum amount of EUR 10 000 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

Remarks

Council Regulation (EEC) No 443/92 of 25 February 1992 on ﬁnancial and technical assistance to and economic cooperation with
developing countries in Asia and Latin America (OJ L 52, 27. 2. 1992, p. 1).
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 and
children, the promotion of consumer policy, drug abuse control, democratization, regional cooperation, disaster anticipation and
reconstruction measures.
The Commission should consider only granting new allocations for India and Pakistan to non-governmental organizations.
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.
An amount representing at least 10 % of these funds is to be used for environmental policies resulting from the Agenda 21 Programme
agreed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992, including
renewable energy projects.
This appropriation 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 report of the assessment.
The release of funds earmarked for Nepal will be subject to the provision of a guarantee by the Nepalese authorities that they will not
turn back refugees from Tibet.
Within the framework of the Commission’s strategies vis-à-vis health policy and with a view to supporting programmes designed to
improve primary health care services, appropriations shall also be earmarked for implementation of a programme for the prevention
of rheumatic fever.

This appropriation also covers funding of operations by non-governmental organizations and specialized agencies to assist the growing
numbers of street children.

A maximum amount of EUR 3 750 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part.

Also charged to this article is expenditure on operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the proﬁle or increase
awareness of European Union cooperation with Asian developing countries.

This appropriation also covers small loans and credits granted through the informal banking system (through the Grameen Bank and
similar operations in Bangladesh) that support, in particular, initiatives to promote employment for women.

This article is also intended to cover support for the development of civil society and, in particular, support for the activities of
non-governmental organizations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children and ethnic
minorities.

Community assistance shall not be given to any country or organization which encourages or allows compulsory abortion, enforced
sterilization or infanticide as a means of controlling population growth.

This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit
and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.

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

support actions aimed at the prevention of population displacement.

These measures may be ﬁnanced jointly with non-governmental organizations and international organizations.

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

support actions aimed at the prevention of population displacement.
These measures may be ﬁnanced jointly with non-governmental organizations and international organizations.

Remarks

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,

technical knowledge on best practice in clean technologies and on renewable energies, and economic incentives.

Any revenue from repayments in the context of cooperation with South Africa is available for re-use in accordance with the provisions

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 appropriation 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 the appropriations in reserve 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.
The payments can only be used for the implementation of commitments already made under the former line B7-4 0 3 3.

ﬁnancial and technical measures to accompany the reform of economic and social structures in the framework of
the
Euro-Mediterranean partnership (MEDA) (OJ L 325, 14. 12. 1996, p. 20).
This appropriation is intended in particular to cover the ﬁnancing to:
— support economic transition (by backing up the processes of modernization and economic reconstruction of the Mediterranean
non-member countries with a view to the gradual creation of a free trade area and by promoting direct investment in the region
through the setting-up of joint ventures (MED-Invest, ECIP, risk capital),

— 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

economic and social life),

— support regional integration and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation including environment (regional projects,

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

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.
At least 10 % of these funds are to be used for environmental projects and particularly for environmental policies resulting from the
Agenda 21 Programme agreed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to
14 July 1992.

This appropriation will also be used for a speciﬁc programme for cooperation in the ﬁeld of the environment, notably for actions in
favour of sustainable development in the Mediterranean.

It is also intended to cover the ﬁnancing of one or more pilot projects on veterinary prevention and control in the countries bordering

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 to 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 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.

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.

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of various operations, in particular in industry, science and technology, energy,
mining, transport, communications, tourism, agriculture and ﬁsheries, resulting from cooperation agreements with third countries,
including the countries of the Middle East, where these sectors are not covered by speciﬁc programmes.

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.

This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit

Council Regulation (EC) No 1734/94 of 11 July 1994 on ﬁnancial and technical cooperation with the Occupied Territories (OJ L 182,
16. 7. 1994, p. 4).

Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 13 December 1997, amending Regulation (EC) No 1734/94
on ﬁnancial and technical cooperation with the Occupied Territories (COM(97) 552 ﬁnal).

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.

The operations are intended to help the Palestinian population of the Territories, the central aim being the Territories’ social and
economic development, notably in respect of production (agriculture, ﬁsheries and industry), urban and rural development, health,
water supply, the environment, training and education and the establishment of Palestinian institutions. The operations should favour
the use of renewable energies as much as possible.
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.
This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit
and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme

Council Regulation (EC) No 622/98 of 16 March 1988 on assistance to the applicant States in the framework of the pre-accession
strategy, and in particular on the establishment of Accession Partnerships (OJ L 85, 20. 3. 1988, p. 1).

Council Decisions 98/259/EC to 98/268/EC of 30 March 1998 on the principles, priorities, intermediate objectives and conditions
contained in the accession partnerships with the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, the
Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and the Republic
of Slovenia respectively (OJ L 121, 23. 4. 1998, p. 1).

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.
With a view to stepping up the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Agenda 2000,
PHARE operations will 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.
This appropriation will also ensure the ﬁnancing of a systematic gender impact assessment of operations under this article targeted at
institution building and investment support.
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.
The Commission will provide a breakdown four times a year by country and by sector of commitments and payments made.
Operations which until 1996 were ﬁnanced under Article B7-8 4 0 are included under transport.
Measures taken in the area of nuclear security are intended in particular to cover the ﬁnancing of technical and legal assistance
necessary for the evaluation of the safety, environmental, economic and ﬁnancial aspects of the projects for which ﬁnancing in the form
of a Euratom loan has been requested; the measures are also intended to enable loan contracts to be ﬁnalized and carried out. The
Commission shall provide the budgetary authority with itemized information on the costs of this technical and legal assistance.
In accordance with the Sole Article of Decision 94/179/Euratom, any proceeds from undertakings in receipt of a loan under that decision
will be entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue and may be used to grant additional loans in line with the provisions
of Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is intended also to cover the ﬁnancing of one or more pilot projects on veterinary prevention and control in the
countries bordering on the European Union.

This appropriation, up to an amount of EUR 3 000 000 is also intended to support and promote the development of modern and
independent industrial relations systems and social dialogue in applicant countries as part of the process of institution building in those
countries in the run-up to their accession to the European Union.

Within the context of reform of PHARE towards greater decentralization and on the basis of a time-limited approach, appropriations
shall, in particular, ﬁnance information and training measures for trade union and employer organizations in the countries concerned,
as well as supporting dialogue and exchange with the European social partners.

A maximum amount of EUR 10 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly
linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.

This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit

or project itself.

A maximum amount of EUR 53 820 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

Foundation (OJ L 206, 23. 7. 1998, p. 1).

This appropriation is intended to cover the running costs of the European Training Foundation.

The Commission must ensure that the Foundation is paid a contribution to its administrative expenditure from the Tempus programme.

During the budgetary procedure and even during the ﬁnancial year, and when a letter of amendment is submitted, the Commission shall
inform the budgetary authority of any changes which are likely to be made, or have been made, to the budget of the agencies, in
accordance with the provisions on transparency laid down in the Interinstitutional Declaration of 17 November 1995 and implemented
in the form of a code of conduct agreed by the European Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.

Before it pays the third part of the subsidy, the Commission shall evaluate the current monetary situation in the various places and refer
the results to the budgetary authority.

In the event of signiﬁcant ﬂuctuations in exchange rates or changes of weightings, a proposal for a transfer may be introduced to correct
the losses or gains.

as regards the coordination of the activities of the different Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the
European Investment Bank and the other existing ﬁnancial instruments (OJ L 374, 31. 12. 1988, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3906/89 of 18 December 1989 on economic aid to the Republic of Hungary and the Polish People’s
Republic (OJ L 375, 23. 12. 1989, p. 11), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 753/96 (OJ L 103, 26. 4. 1996, p. 5).
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1628/94 of 4 July 1994 concerning the implementation of a programme of cross-border cooperation
between countries in central and eastern Europe and Member States of the Community in the framework of the PHARE programme
(OJ L 171, 6. 7. 1994, p. 14).

Council Regulation (EC) No 622/98 of 16 March 1998 on assistance to the applicant States in the framework of the pre-accession
strategy and in particular on the establishment of Accession Partnerships (OJ L 85, 20. 3. 1998, p. 1).

In accordance with the results of the cooperation procedure under the Structural Fund Regulation, the appropriation for this heading
will be used to ﬁnance structural operations in the regions of central and eastern Europe which share a border with the European Union,
including the member states of the Baltic Council beneﬁting from the PHARE programme. Border regions between countries from
central Europe which are accession candidates will also be included. The projects to be ﬁnanced also include environmental protection
measures.

These operations, which form part of the PHARE programme, are undertaken in accordance with Interreg (Community initiative in
border zones) rules. As far as possible, joint programming and monitoring structures will be established, which will formulate common
cross-border programmes for border regions, and will be organized as one single socio-economic and, if possible, geographic entity.

This appropriation shall be allocated on the basis of at least two thirds for the border regions between the European Union and the
applicant States in the framework of the pre-accession strategy and at most one third for the other border regions. While respecting this
breakdown, 10 % of the appropriation is earmarked for small joint projects to be decided at the local level.

CHAPTER B7-5 2 — COOPERATION WITH THE NEW INDEPENDENT STATES AND MONGOLIA (cont’d)

B7-5 2 0 (cont’d)

This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing or part-ﬁnancing of assistance measures designed to support the transition to a
market economy and to strengthen democracy.

Such measures involve strengthening institutions, legislation and training in ﬁelds including the ﬁnancing of human resources, business
restructuring and development, infrastructure, energy (including nuclear safety), the production, handling and distribution of food
products, and the environment, social system, education and health, support for democracy and equal treatment for men and women
in the State concerned.

Operations which until 1996 were ﬁnanced under Article B7-8 4 0 are included under transport.

Measures taken in the area of nuclear security are intended in particular to cover the ﬁnancing of the technical and legal assistance
necessary for the evaluation of the safety, environmental, economic and ﬁnancial aspects of the projects for which ﬁnancing in the form
of a Euratom loan has been requested; the measures are also intended to enable loan contracts to be ﬁnalized and carried out. The
Commission shall provide the budgetary authority with itemized information on the costs of this technical and legal assistance.

In accordance with the Sole Article of Decision 94/179/Euratom, any proceeds from undertakings in receipt of a loan under that
Decision will be entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue and may be used to grant additional loans in line with the
provisions of Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation.

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

This appropriation may also be intended in 1999 to cover the additional contribution by the European Union to the special fund for
Chernobyl (Article B7-5 3 6).
A maximum amount of EUR 10 000 000 may cover expenditure related to the implementation of an integrated programme in Azerbaijan
aiming to support the civil society and social sector, in particular the displaced population, as well as to promote democracy and human
rights.
In implementing the loans, the Commission will seek to stimulate the consultancy market in the New Independent States by
encouraging the involvement of local consultants in the TACIS programme.
Under the new arrangements, the Commission may propose to adapt the demand-based approach in favour of concentrating
appropriations more on a limited number of projects, including private investments and infrastructure, to be identiﬁed with the partner
countries.
A maximum amount of EUR 5 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly
linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part.
This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit
and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.
A maximum amount of EUR 26 940 250 is authorized for such expenditure.

In accordance with the results of the cooperation procedure under the Structural Fund regulation (declaration No 29 on Article 11 of
Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 as amended), the appropriation for this heading will be used to ﬁnance structural operations in the regions
of the TACIS programme countries which have a common border with the European Union and the countries of central and eastern
Europe, including the Baltic States. The projects to be funded also include environmental protection measures.

These operations, which form part of the TACIS programme, are undertaken in accordance with the structural policies and notably with
Interreg (Community initiative in border zones) rules. As far as possible, joint programming and monitoring structures will be
established, which will formulate common cross-border programmes for border regions, which will be treated as one single
socio-economic and, if possible, geographic entity.

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 in the ﬁelds of information and
culture 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 budget will be limited to EUR 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 such a programme.

— Electronic resources and long-distance learning

— A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-US 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.

This appropriation is also intended for an educational exchange programme with the United States of America.

2. People to People
— Transatlantic labour dialogue (EUR 300 000)
— Transatlantic small and medium-sized enterprise initiative (EUR 300 000)
— Transatlantic business dialogue (EUR 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 United States’ administrations, focused on the European side of the dialogue.

900 000

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 the 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 creating of links 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 amount 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. Furthermore, independent funders
would be expected to supplement such funding. An annual evaluation report on these activities will have to be submitted by the
Commission to the budgetary authority by 30 June of the following year.
An appropriation of EUR 400 000 is intended to ﬁnance the European Union’s participation in the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic
Treaty Association and, in particular, to provide subsidies for young conference participants and those from eastern Europe.
This item will also fund technical and administrative assistance to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures which
does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit
and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme
or project itself.
A maximum amount of EUR 420 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

Commission communication pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2465/96.

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.

European network for human rights.
The appropriations covered by this chapter will be implemented in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The Commission will
be assisted by an advisory working party — the working party on democracy and protection of human rights — comprising
representatives of the European Parliament and the Commission and chaired by the Commission. The Commission will submit to the

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.
In deciding upon proposals for European Union ﬁnancing, the Commission shall consider ﬁrst and foremost the likely effectiveness of
a project in promoting democratic principles and the respect of human rights. Priority will be given to projects by non-governmental
organizations which have demonstrated their effectiveness and viability over the past few years, and to projects expected to have a
multiplier effect within civil society, which is the main agent in the transition to democracy.
The Commission may submit proposals for additional transfers to each article in this chapter in accordance with the political priorities
and the amounts already used by NGOs, pursuant to Article 26 (7) of the Financial Regulation.
The appropriations in this chapter which concern a geographical region may also be used to ﬁnance the establishment and maintenance
of rehabilitation services for victims of torture and their families.

market access strategy (OJ L 265, 30. 9. 1998, p. 31).
This appropriation is intended to promote both access to non-Community markets in the light of the agreements reached in the Uruguay
Round, which has created new opportunities for European industry, and a worldwide trading system.
In particular, it covers activities designed to help the European Union’s textiles, clothing, leather goods and footwear industries win
new markets.
This article is intended to cover notably:

— ﬁnancing studies of these markets,

— enhancing the proﬁle of European Union industries and facilitating their access to the most lucrative markets by organizing trade

forums in accordance with the results of the sectoral studies carried out,

— supporting participation by representatives of European ﬁrms or of the Community at international trade fairs and forums held in

third countries, especially small and medium-sized undertakings,

— development of a database on market access,

— studies on the likely pollution resulting from improved market access and the scope for countering this by introducing

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.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred in connection with technical assistance and seminars on the European
Union’s generalized system of preferences and other matters relating to access to the European Union market.

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.

Proposal for a Council Regulation, submitted by the Commission on ..., regarding the implementation of a special ﬁnancial cooperation
measure for Turkey (COM(95) 389/3).

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.
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 EUR 7 105 000 000, of which
EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco,
Syria, 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 98/348/EC of 19 May 1998, granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under
loans for projects in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and amending 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 European countries, Mediterranean countries, Latin American and Asian countries and South Africa) (OJ L 155, 29. 5. 1998,

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)
No 2444/97 (OJ L 340, 11. 12. 1997, p. 1).

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 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 1997 was the decline in the
European Union’s operations. This decline was due to the repayment of ECU 527 200 000 in NCI loans and
to the repayment of tranches of
ECU 479 100 000 in Euratom loans in the Member States and, elsewhere,
ECU 80 000 000 on a loan to Hungary, ECU 127 000 000 on a loan to the Czech Republic, ECU 63 000 000 on a loan
to the Slovak Republic, ECU 140 000 000 on a loan to Bulgaria, ECU 250 000 000 on a loan to Algeria, ECU 5 000 000
on a loan to Estonia,
the repayment of the ECU 160 000 000 loan to Israel, and ECU 118 970 000 of the
ECU 1 250 000 000 loan to the former Soviet Union and its republics. Loans were also disbursed to Romania
(ECU 25 000 000) and Ukraine
(ECU 70 000 000),
(ECU 100 000 000).

the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)

At 31 December 1997, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled ECU 12 171 000 000; of this total
ECU 4 497 000 000 was inside the European Union and ECU 7 674 000 000 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 19 June 1997 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 1996 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.

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 19 June 1997, submitted a report to the Council
and the European Parliament covering 1996 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 1997 there was only some ECU 281 300 000 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).

As part of the ﬁnancial assistance agreed by the Council for Israel and the population of the occupied territories, the
Commissions is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the European Union, ECU 160 000 000 in one tranche for a period
of seven years. The proceeds will be paid out to Israel on the same terms and will be accompanied by an interest subsidy
of ECU 27 500 000 paid from the general budget.

This operation started in February 1992. Israel repaid this loan in full on 15 December 1997.

An operation for Algeria was authorized by the Council on 23 September 1991. The operation involves the borrowing
and lending of ECU 400 000 000 in two tranches of ECU 250 000 000 and ECU 150 000 000. The ﬁrst tranche was paid
in January 1992. The second tranche was paid in August 1994. Algeria repaid in full the ﬁrst tranche of ECU 250 000 000
on 15 December 1997.

A new operation for Algeria involving ECU 200 000 000, in two tranches, over a period of no more than seven years,

2. Description

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 by Hungary, 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. Hungary repaid the loan in full
on 15 December 1997 (ECU 80 000 000) and 18 March 1998 (ECU 100 000 000).

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 was repaid on 18 March 1998. The second tranche
was paid on 2 March 1992 and was repaid in full on 15 December 1997.

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 was repaid on 18 March 1998. The
second tranche of ECU 140 000 000 was paid in February 1992 and was repaid in full on 15 December 1997.

A new operation for Bulgaria involving ECU 110 000 000 to be paid in two tranches for a maximum period of seven
years was proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 19 October 1992.

The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 70 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 7 December 1994. It will be repaid in one instalment after
seven years. The second tranche of ECU 40 000 000 was paid in August 1996.

On 22 July 1997 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria long-term macroﬁnancial assistance of a maximum of
ECU 250 000 000, to be paid in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 125 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February
1998. It is assumed that the second tranche of ECU 125 000 000 will also be paid in 1998.

years was proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 27 November 1992. The loan was paid on
26 February 1993.

A third operation for Romania involving ECU 125 000 000, in two tranches, for a maximum period of seven years was
proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 20 June 1994. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 55 000 000 was paid
on 20 November 1995. The second tranche of ECU 70 000 000 was paid in two instalments on 30 September 1997
(ECU 40 000 000) and 23 December 1997 (ECU 30 000 000).

On 23 November 1992 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing and lending operation

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

— ECU 40 000 000 for Estonia,

— ECU 80 000 000 for Latvia,

— ECU 100 000 000 for Lithuania.

The loan will be for a maximum period of seven years and will be disbursed in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranches of

The European Union has decided to grant a loan of ECU 1 250 000 000 for the former Soviet Union and its Republics.

The loan will be used to ﬁnance imports of agricultural products and foodstuffs from the European Union and the
countries of central and eastern Europe.

The loan has been divided between the various independent states of the former Soviet Union. It will be granted for a
period of three years.

over ﬁve years starting in the sixth year.

The second tranche of ECU 20 000 000 was paid on 8 August 1995. The loan will be repaid in ﬁve equal annual
instalments starting in the sixth year.

Council Decision 94/179/Euratom of 21 March 1994 amending Decision 77/270/Euratom to authorize the Commission
to contract Euratom borrowings in order to contribute to the ﬁnancing required for improving the degree of efficiency
and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries (OJ L 84, 29. 3. 1994, p. 41).

2. Description

Pursuant to Decision 94/179/Euratom the European Union extends the scope of Euratom borrowings to the improvement
of the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the
Commonwealth of Independent States.

The maximum amount of Euratom borrowings for the Member States and non-member countries remains ﬁxed at
ECU 4 000 000 000.

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.

Under the terms of the abovementioned Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans to be

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

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).

Part B — Annex II

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.

3. Effect on 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.

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 18 occasions. The total paid out comes to ECU 105 930 000; ECU 26 400 000 has
been repaid by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, corresponding to all its defaults,

— the granting, in a series of cases, of interest-rate subsidies of 2 % in non-repayable aid, subject to the overall amounts

laid down by the Financial Protocols.

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
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 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central
and eastern Europe. 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

concluded cooperation agreements. This guarantee is restricted to an overall ceiling of ECU 275 000 000 to be granted
in 1996. The period of validity for this decision will be automatically extended by six months if, at 31 December 1996,
the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the ceiling of ECU 275 000 000.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

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 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. 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 900 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries
of Asia and Latin America. 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.

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.

XI. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK LOANS TO SOUTH AFRICA

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 95/207/EC of 1 June 1995 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against
losses under loans for projects in South Africa (OJ L 131, 15. 6. 1995, p. 31).

This Decision is the basis of a contract of guarantee signed by the European Community and the European Investment
Bank in Brussels on 4 October 1995 and in Luxembourg on 16 October 1995.

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 EEC and the European Investment Bank signed in
Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997.

2. Description

In accordance with the provisions of Decision 95/207/EC, the European Union will guarantee European Investment Bank
loans to South Africa up to a maximum total amount of ECU 300 000 000.

The budget guarantee covers all the debt-servicing (repayment of principal, interest and ancillary costs) in connection
with these loans.

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
EUR 460 000 000 will be lent in 1998 and EUR 440 000 000 in 1999.

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 EUR 1 100 000 000 in 1998 and around EUR 580 000 000 in 1999.
These forecasts disregard a possible new mandate for Turkey.

Under the new FYROM (former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) mandate loans of around EUR 60 000 000 may be
signed in 1998 and EUR 80 000 000 in 1999.

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

Loans of around ECU 700 000 000 in 1998 and EUR 750 000 000 in 1999 may be signed under the new PECO mandate
of ECU 3 520 000 000 for the countries of central and eastern Europe.

3. European Investment Bank loans to South Africa

Loans of around ECU 125 000 000 could be signed in 1997 under the ‘South Africa’ mandate of ECU 375 000 000. Loans
of around EUR 150 000 000 could be signed in 1998 and or about EUR 250 000 000 in 1999 under the new mandate.

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

Loans of around EUR 450 000 000 could be signed in 1998 under the interim ALA mandate for the countries of Asia and
Latin America and the new ALA mandate of ECU 900 000 000. Loans of around EUR 350 000 000 could be signed in
1999 under the new ALA mandate.

COMMISSION
Part B — Annex II
(Borrowing and lending)

Technical notes on Tables 1 to 3

1. Tables 1 and 2

(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 1997.

(c) Column (3) ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 1997’. With reference to 1986, for example, this column

shows the cumulative total of all amounts:

— received up to 31 December 1997 in respect of loans raised in 1986 (Table 1), including reﬁnancing operations

(hence some duplication),

— paid up to 31 December 1997 in respect of loans granted in 1986 (Table 2).

(d) Column (4) ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 1997’: 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 1997, 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 5 294 400 000 at the end of 1997: the global 70 %, guarantee is equivalent to 70 % of all loans provided minus
repayments and represents ECU 1 830 150 000 at 31 December 1997. As the amount outstanding at 31 December 1997
was ECU 3 373 000 000, 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 3 373 000 000 under the global guarantee and
ECU 2 373 200 000 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 EUR 13 000 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.
