EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

When  adapting  the  financial  perspective  for  the  period  2000-2006  in  order  to  take
account of enlargement (the accession of 10 new Member States in May 2004), the
European Parliament and the Council agreed the following statement:

[The  European  Parliament  and  the  Council]  "agree  to  revise  (by  the  end  of  the
budgetary  procedure  for  2004)  in  accordance  with  the  co-decision  procedure,  the
reference  amounts  of  the  co-decided  programmes  within  the  limits  of  the  ceiling
resulting  from  the  above-mentioned  adjustment  and  revision  of  the  financial
perspective".

For  all  the  co-decided  programmes  financed  under  heading  3  of  the  financial
perspective  (Internal  Policies),  it  is  therefore  necessary  to  adapt  the  financial
reference  amounts  included  in  each  of  the  legislative  acts  concerned.  The
Commission, in the general introduction (volume 0) to the Preliminary Draft Budget,
proposed  new  amounts  for  the  reference  amounts  concerned,  seeking  a  political
agreement of the budgetary authority before submitting the corresponding legislative
proposal(s).

During  the  conciliation  meeting  of  16  July  2003,  the  European  Parliament  and  the
Council  agreed  on  the  following  statement  on  the  procedure  to  be  followed  for  the
adaptation of the financial reference amounts:

"The  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  agree  on  the  following  procedure  to
adapt  the  reference  amounts  included  in  the  basic  acts  of  Community  programmes
decided  under  the  co-decision  procedure  within  the  limits  of  the  ceiling  resulting
from adjustment and revision of the Financial Perspective:

-  Parliament  and  Council  will  endeavour  to  reach  a  political  agreement  on  the
amounts which should be added, following enlargement, to the reference amounts, at
the latest on 24 November;

-  they  will  then  invite  the  Commission  to  present  the  appropriate  legislative
proposal(s);

-  the  European  Parliament  and  the  Council  will  thus  endeavour  to  adopt  the
legislative  act(s),  under  the  co-decision  procedure,  in  time  for  the  possible
application  of  the  adapted  amount  as  from  the  date  of  entry  into  force  of  the
Accession Treaty."

4. 

The  conciliation  meeting  of  24  November  2003  concluded  on  an  agreement  on
adapted  reference  amounts  and  on  the  following  joint  statement  of  the  European
Parliament and of the Council:

"Referring to the joint declaration of 16 July 2003, Parliament and Council, having
reached a political agreement on the indicative reference amounts to be included in
the  basic  act  of  community  programmes  decided  under  the  co-decision  procedure
following  enlargement,  invite  the  Commission  to  present  without  delay  the
appropriate legislative proposal(s) and confirm that they will make all the efforts to
take in due consideration, in the co-decision procedure, the amounts attached to the

2

 
present declaration, in time for their possible application as from  the date  of  entry
into force of the Accession Treaty.

The European Parliament and the Council remind to their respective bodies that the
legislative  procedures  should  in  any  circumstances  respect  the  adjustment  and
revision of the Financial Perspective in view of enlargement as approved on 9 April
2003,  and  leave  a  sufficient  margin  for  future  programmes,  including  the  ones  not
based on co-decision."

The  Commission  hereby  responds  to  the  invitation  of  European  Parliament  and
Council,  limiting  the  proposed  modification  to  the  legislative  acts  relating  to  the
programmes  concerned,  to  the  integration  of  the  above-mentioned  reference
amounts. This integration calls for the following remarks:

– 

– 

– 

The 6th Framework-Programme for Research and Technological Development
is covered by two decisions, one based on the Treaty establishing the European
Community,  the  other  one  based  on  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European
Atomic Energy Community. The supplementary amount of 1 735 million euros
is  shared  between  the  two  basic  acts  in  prorate  of  their  respective  reference
amounts:  1  613  million  euros  is  added  to  the  maximum  overall  amount  of
decision  1513/2002/EC,  122 million  euros  to  the  financial  reference  amount
included  in  decision  2002/668/Euratom.  The  EC  decision,  adopted  following
the  co-decision  procedure,  is  included  in  the  following  legislative  proposal.
The  Euratom  decision  is  the  object  of  a  separate  proposal  under  reference
COM(2003)  778.  The  respective  shares  for  each  of  the  activities  and  the
indicative 
the  maximum  overall  amount  of  decision
1513/2002/EC,  as  shown  in  annex  II,  is  also  updated  taking  into  account  the
decisions made by  the  budgetary  authority  in  the  course  of  budget  procedure
2004.

repartition  of 

The  programme  relating  to  the  networks  for  exchange  of  data  between
administrations  (IDA)  is  covered  by  two  decisions,  both  following  the  co-
decision procedure. The supplementary amount of 1.5 million euros is shared
between the two basic acts in prorate of their respective reference amounts: 0.7
million euros is added to the reference amount of decision 1720/1999/EC; 0.8
million euros is added to the reference amount of decision 1719/1999/EC.

In the above table, two amounts are indicated for the trans-European networks,
distinguishing between the networks for energy and transport, on the one hand,
and the telecommunication networks on the other hand. Both being covered by
the  same  basic  act,  the  corresponding  reference  amount  is  adapted  with  the
sum of the two additional amounts. The distinction between energy, transport
and  telecommunication  networks  will  be  done  in  the  framework  of  annual
budget procedures.

6. 

7. 

The  justifications  for  the  increase  proposed  for  each  programme,  to  be  included  in
the relevant legislative acts, are detailed in  the  financial sheets  transmitted  together
with this proposal.

Because  of  the  budgetary  origin  of  this  proposal  and  in  due  consideration  to  the
political agreement reached on the proposed amounts, the Commission recommends
to treat and adopt the three following legislative proposals together (one proposal for
each type of legislative act involved: decision sui generis, decision and regulation),
and to limit the scope of examination to the budgetary considerations presented here.
