A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the European Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed
necessary for the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account,
universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

— The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all Community revenue and expenditure and that of the European Union

when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.

— The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appro-

priations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.

— The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year:
borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.

— In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euro and the accounts shall be presented in

euro.

— The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of rev-
enue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. All revenue and expenditure is entered in full in the budget without any
adjustment against each other.

— The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to pre-

vent any confusion between appropriations.

— The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

— The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on implementation of the budget and

the accounts.

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the manage-
ment of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget for the 25 current Member States totals EUR 121 190,91 million in commitment appropria-
tions and EUR 111 969,61 million in payment appropriations, representing growth rates of 4,51 % and 5,95 % respectively by comparison with
the 2005 budget.

Budgetary revenue for the 25 Member States totals EUR 111 969,61 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3095 % whilst
that for the GNI resource is 0,7267 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 12,70 % of the
financing of the budget for 2006. The VAT resource accounts for 14,19 % and the GNI resource for 71,95 %. Miscellaneous revenue for this finan-
cial year is estimated at EUR 1 297,69 million.

The own resources needed to finance the 2006 budget account for 1,00 % of the Member States’ total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 %
of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of
the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2006 budget for the 25 Member States.

Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources
(Article 2(4) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate – frozen rate

A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,50 % for 2006.

B. Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of

Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

(1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden:

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria
(AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution.

Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany:

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = [Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)] × 1/4 × United
Kingdom correction

Example: Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 9 799 832 000 / (51 321 264 500 – 9 556 000 000) × 1/4 × 5 685 342 107 = 333 503 200

(2) calculation of the frozen rate:

Frozen rate = [UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)]/[EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL
+ A + S)]

Frozen rate = 5 685 342 107 – (333 503 200 + 80 311 840 + 36 896 636 + 43 167 455)]/[51 321 264 500 – (9 556 000 000
+ 9 799 832 000 + 2 359 925 000 + 1 084 190 000 + 1 268 455 000)]

Frozen rate = 0,190492392346244 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,190492392346244 % = 0,309507607653756 %

(1) Rounded percentages.
(2) The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appro-
priations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for 2004. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated
before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(3) The ‘UK advantage’ corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own

resource.

(4) These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 to 25 % as of 1 January 2001 — in the percentage of

traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).

Under the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector, sugar producers pay basic and B production levies to cover
market support expenditure.

However, the application of a ceiling to the levies as provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 may lead to
their not fully covering the estimated total loss due to the existence of an exportable surplus calculated in accordance with para-
graphs 1 and 2 of the said Article. The complementary levy referred to in Article 1 1 6 of this chapter will then have to be paid
by sugar producers in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures (without collection costs).

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
(OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 39/2004 (OJ L 6, 10.1.2004, p. 16).

This article is intended to record revenue from the outstanding sugar storage levies as Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001
of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1) abolished the
storage levy.

This article also covers the amounts due pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 65/82 of 13 January 1982
laying down detailed rules for carrying forward sugar to the following marketing year (OJ L 9, 14.1.1982, p. 14) when the obli-
gation to store sugar carried forward is not complied with and the amounts due according to Council Regulation (EEC)
No 1789/81 when the general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector are not complied with.

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures (without collection costs).

Continuation of the existing production quota arrangements for sugar requires that similar arrangements be applied to the pro-
duction of inulin syrup, a direct substitute 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.

The common organisation of the market in sugar provides that inulin syrup producers pay basic and B production levies and
where necessary the additional levy covering market support expenditure.

Forecasts from 2003 onwards are net figures (without collection costs).

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector
(OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1), as last amended by Commission Regulation No 39/2004 (OJ L 6, 10.1.2004, p. 16).

Article 15 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 budgetary procedure and, where
appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accor-
dance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

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 an amending budget.

A deficit is entered in Item 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol,
annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty
and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with
winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty
expires.

Pursuant to Article 4 of the above Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the
general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to
the coal and steel industry by a coal and steel research fund.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation
for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel
Research Fund. This financing mechanism takes effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2004 will be used for research in 2006.
In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of
research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2006 comes
to EUR 54 750 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel sector and 27,2 %
for the coal sector.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chap-
ter 08 13 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

CHAPTER 2 6 — STUDIES, SURVEYS AND CONSULTATION (cont’d)

2 6 0 (cont’d)

As part of its audit work, the Court of Auditors has to call on outside experts for technical studies and analyses (chemical, physi-
cal and statistical). The need for appropriations to cover the cost of studies contracted out to experts is justified by the specia-
lised 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 jeopardised.

This appropriation also includes the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by independent auditors whose report
is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Remarks

In accordance with the provisions of Article 15 of the Financial Regulation, the balance from each financial year, whether sur-
plus or deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where
appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accor-
dance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

After the closure of accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy with the estimates is entered in the budget for the fol-
lowing financial year through an amending budget.

A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of this section.

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol,
annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty
and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with
winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty
expires.

Pursuant to Article 4 of the above decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the
general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to
the coal and steel industry by a coal and steel research fund.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation
for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel
Research Fund. This financing mechanism takes effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2004 will be used for research in 2006.
In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of
research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2006 comes
to EUR 54 750 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel sector and 27,2 %
for the coal sector.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under
Chapter 08 13 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the
appropriations in Chapters 22 03, 19 08 and 19 01 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.

— daily subsistence allowance for officials and temporary staff who furnish evidence that they must change their place of resi-

dence on taking up duty or transferring to a new place of employment,

— transitional costs for officials assigned to posts in the new Member States prior to accession who are requested to remain
in service in these Member States following the accession date, and who will be entitled, exceptionally, to the same finan-
cial and material conditions applied by the Commission before accession, in accordance with Annex X to the Staff Regu-
lations of officials and the Conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities laid down by Regu-
lation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68,

— the cost of any adjustments to remuneration approved by the Council during the financial year.

In the interests of transparency, the salary scales of officials and other servants of all the EU institutions, including increments
and allowances, must be published in an easily comprehensible form on a Commission website readily accessible to the public.

The request for 700 new posts for 2005 is part of the overall increase of 3 900 posts over a transitional period from 2003
to 2008 in line with a Commission estimate made in 2002. That estimate also covers enlargement-related needs.

Over the last few years, the European Parliament has endorsed in principle the Commission’s requests, subject to improved
implementation and better management, full implementation of the reform of the Commission, compliance with the European
Parliament’s priorities and improved interinstitutional dialogue.

At the start of the sixth parliamentary term and the term of office of the Commission appointed in 2004, the European Par-
liament, as the legislative and budgetary authority, and the new Commission have an opportunity to renew and improve their
interinstitutional relationship. To make that possible, Parliament has decided to make provision for all the posts requested.

For 2005, the appropriations corresponding to 50 posts were placed in the reserve.

The appropriations would be released from the reserve once the Commission committed itself clearly to submitting, at the lat-
est by 31 March 2005, a proposal for a limited revision of the Financial Regulation and its implementing rules in order to
remove all obstacles to decision-taking and smooth budget execution.

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 35 400 000.

The latest Commission proposal amending the existing comitology regulation (COM(2002) 719) has been under consideration
for several years. The Commission modified its proposal in April 2004 (COM(2004) 324), but the Council has still not taken a
decision on the matter. In several legislative procedures (proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council
re-casting Directive 2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 relating to the taking up and
pursuit of the business of credit institutions (COM(2004) 486), proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the
Council recasting Council Directive 93/6/EEC of 15 March 1993 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit insti-
tutions (COM(2004) 486), etc.) comitology issues have caused serious problems for the European Parliament. The European
Parliament and the Council should have an equal role in supervising the implementing powers of the Commission, in order to
reflect the Parliament’s legislative powers under Article 251 of the EC Treaty. For that purpose, the European Parliament calls
for the amendment of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of imple-
menting powers conferred on the Commission (OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23).

In order to preserve its legislative prerogatives, it is important for the European Parliament to be able to decide to revoke the
delegation of powers granted to the Commission as well as to prevent the entry into force of implementing measures. The Euro-
pean Parliament will therefore release the reserve once:

— it has been given a three-month period in which to examine and, if appropriate, deliver its opinion, in full knowledge of

the facts, on any implementing measure forwarded by the Commission;

— provision has been made for application of the provisions of the Directive stipulating the adoption of technical rules and

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) both inside and outside the European
Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community insti-
tutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in
the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities
include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the
EIB, EIF and EBRD and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as
well as macro-financial assistance to third countries).

The main objective for 2006 is to strengthen economic governance in the Union aimed at raising the contribution of public finances and other
economic policies to growth and employment in line with the Lisbon strategy, in addition to securing the core budgetary objectives of sound and
stable public finances, by implementing the revised Stability and Growth Pact. Integration of the new Member States in EMU will continue in 2006,
in the expectation that some of them will participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) and, subsequently, in the euro zone. Furthermore,
the full integration of Bulgaria and Romania into the Community economic policy coordination framework is to be prepared in view of their
accession in 2007. Also, in 2006, new financial instruments will be implemented, notably for TEN-transport and RTD projects and SMEs, in order
to support the Lisbon Strategy and the European Initiative for Growth.

CHAPTER 01 02 — ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION (cont’d)

01 02 04 (cont’d)

The Commission has adopted two communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Com-
mittee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and com-
munication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350 final). They propose an interinstitu-
tional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of a communication
and information policy strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission,
lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It
coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion
on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information supplied by the Commission.

In addition, the Commission will report regularly to the European Parliament’s relevant committee on the implementation of
the programme and on planning for the coming year.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) of Council Regulation
(EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European
Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

This exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macroeconomic difficulties
characterised by serious budgetary imbalances and/or balance of payment deficits. It is directly linked to the implementation by
the recipient countries of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. Community action generally
complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

The Commission informs the budgetary authority twice a year on the macroeconomic and political situations of the beneficiary
countries and reports extensively on the implementation of this assistance on a yearly basis.

funds available for loan operations in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol,

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 over-
all 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.

Concerning Decision 2000/24/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment
Bank was signed in Brussels on 24 January 2000 and in Luxembourg on 17 January 2000 setting up a guarantee restricted
to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equiva-

Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. It covers a period of seven years begin-
ning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the European Invest-
ment 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 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guar-
antees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

This item constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European Union. It will enable the Commission, if neces-
sary, to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this

This item constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European Union. It will enable the Commission, if neces-
sary, to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default on the loans granted by the
European Investment Bank.

Concerning Decision 97/256/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank
was 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 3 520 000 000 is for the following countries of central and eastern Europe: Albania, Bul-
garia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. 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.

Concerning Decision 2000/24/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment
Bank was signed in Brussels on 24 January 2000 and in Luxembourg on 17 January 2000 setting up a guarantee restricted
to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equiva-
lent to EUR 18 410 000 000, of which EUR 8 680 000 000 is for the following countries of central and eastern Europe: Alba-
nia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. It covers a period of seven years beginning on 1 February 2000 and
ending on 31 January 2007. 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 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be
increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

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 (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 94/728/EC, Eura-
tom on the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1) will apply.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on Community financial instruments implemented in the framework of the
multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship, and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
(MAP) and to facilitating their access to finance. 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 (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May
2000 implementing Decision 94/728/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000,
p. 1) will apply.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States (1) pursuant to the Agree-
ment on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information,
these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which
constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of
corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this sec-
tion, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Article 6 0 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the pro-
vision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Article, in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

(1) With the exception of Switzerland.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked
to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this budget heading, plus any other expen-
diture on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad
hoc service contracts, as technical assistance offices’ contracts expire during subsequent years. It can also cover technical and
scientific assistance connected with the creation and on the proper functioning of the future Agency of the chemicals in Hels-
inki. Appropriations will cover the work of agents and their training for a maximum period of 6-month. In order to ensure a
suitable transfer of the competences of the Chemical European Office (an integral part of the JRC), the scientific staff training
will be carried out by the JRC.

CHAPTER 02 02 — COMPETITIVENESS, INDUSTRIAL POLICY, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (cont’d)

02 02 02 (cont’d)

Research activities carried out within the sixth framework programme should respect fundamental ethical principles (in accor-
dance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. These
principles include, in particular, those reflected in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental
Rights of the European Union. The need to stress activities aimed at promoting the role of women in science and research will
receive particular attention.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, work-
shops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological
analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community
action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the pro-
grammes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, admin-
istrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achieve-
ment of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for prepa-
ration and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in
Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Item 02 02 02 03.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the implementation of Community policy in support of enterprises, and
particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, whatever their legal form, including those engaged in the commercial and dis-
tributive trades and the craft sector, tourism, cooperatives, mutual societies and associations, with a view to enabling them to
develop their full potential for employment, growth and competitiveness.

Objectives for accelerating the average speed of payment to beneficiaries shall be set and assessed periodically so as to ensure an
ever-increasing performance exceeding the requirements of Directive 2000/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Coun-
cil of 29 June 2000 on combating late payment in commercial transactions (OJ L 200, 8.8.2000, p. 35).

Particular attention will be paid to microenterprises and small businesses, which represent some 99 % of undertakings in the EU
and are the main creators of jobs.

The concept of corporate social responsibility is intended to serve as a basis for firms to integrate social and environmental con-
cerns voluntarily into their business operations. In this process, projects are intended to support microenterprises and SMEs in
applying the concept developed by and for large firms, tailoring it to their circumstances. The Commission set out the concept
in its communications [COM(2002) 347] ‘Corporate social responsibility: a business contribution to sustainable development’
and [COM(2001) 366] ‘Promoting a European framework for corporate social responsibility’.

This appropriation may cover analyses of best practice concerning the social accountability of businesses in the Member States
and in the candidate countries, the development and provision of aid instruments in this area and activities such as analyse of
the competitive aspects and raising the awareness of businesses. It can also cover the exchange of ‘best practice’ linked to the
open coordination methods (in the field of the improvement of the entrepreneurial environment for the SMEs) in all its forms,
in particular studies, meetings of Working Parties, seminars, publications, databases.

With regard to tourism projects, special attention will be paid to networking in the field of sustainable tourism, including soft
mobility, nature protection, cultural heritage, education and integrating the Agenda 21 approach into tourism. The Iron Cur-
tain Trail should be promoted as an example of soft mobility within tourism and a symbol for the reunification of Europe.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-

Regulation.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 500 000.

Remarks

Appropriations in the Community budget may be used in this preparatory activity to cover technical assistance, particularly
including institution-building and training. Special attention must be paid to cross-border cooperation between financial estab-
lishments and SMEs in the Member States, the candidate countries and the countries that will have borders with the enlarged
Union. Coordination with projects financed under the Phare, Tacis, CARDS and MEDA programmes is encouraged.

With coordination by the Commission, the specific activities may be managed by the following international financial institu-
tions (hereinafter referred to as the IFIs), in accordance with Article 54 of the Financial Regulation: the EIB, the EIF, the EBRD
and the Council of Europe Development Bank in cooperation with the ‘Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau’. The activities financed
by the Community may be linked only to loans and guarantees issued by these IFIs. The appropriations eligible for technical
assistance under this preparatory action, and management expenditure amounting to 1,25 % of the total, and audit cost must
accompany loans to SMEs; preference must be given to microcredits for new or existing SMEs.

The Community contribution will be distributed following negotiations with the IFIs listed above and will not be the subject of
an invitation to tender or call for proposals.

When the listed IFIs managing the actions choose the partner financial institutions in Member States, preference should be given
to regionally based financial institutions with close business links to SMEs. Priority should be given to actions in the new Mem-
ber States.

Legal basis

Preparatory action, within the meaning of Article 49(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002
on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks
The objectives of this pilot action are:
— to lay down principles for an expanded mentoring scheme involving the transmission of the knowledge and core compe-
tences that are essential for the successful transfer of business ownership. To do so, a closer cooperation between the Mem-
ber States will be established,

— based on the results of a feasibility study, to finance or co-finance mentoring services to new entrepreneurs that have taken

over a business.

Pilot project to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs/VSEs. The aim is to secure closer cooperation between
Member States with a view to laying down principles for an expanded mentoring scheme involving the transfer of the knowl-
edge and core competences that are essential for the successful transfer of business ownership. The pilot project will also seek
to ensure that experience is pooled at European level among young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft
undertakings) by means of traineeships and training courses within SMEs in key or complementary sectors. The relevant rep-
resentative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry and craft associations) will be responsible for supporting and promot-
ing this programme. The beneficiaries will be young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings)
who are in the process of setting up in business or are planning to transfer their business in the short to medium term.
The economic justification for this pilot project is that 1/3 of transferred businesses fail and that more jobs are lost (on average
five jobs) than for new business creations that fail in the course of the first three years. Mentoring services will contribute
to increasing substantially the survival rate of transferred businesses.

Remarks

On 21 April 2004, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision 2004/387/EC laying down a programme on
interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDAbc). This
programme, which is aimed at promoting the establishment of pan-European eGovernment services and the telecommunica-
tions networks on which they are based, will contribute to the eEurope initiatives (in the context of the Lisbon objectives) and
the related action plans. It will also contribute to eliminating or reducing the obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons,
services and capital, support the creation of a European area of security, justice and freedom, and facilitate the application of the
Community acquis following enlargement.

IDAbc falls into two sections: projects of common interest and horizontal measures.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must implement projects of common interest in support of sectoral
policies, interinstitutional cooperation and the operation of the European Agencies. The projects cover the preparation, feasi-
bility, development and implementation of pan-European eGovernment services; these (information and interactive) services
must be provided by public administrations to public administrations, businesses and the general public.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must also implement horizontal measures to support interoperability.
These will include:

— horizontal (trans-sectoral) pan-European services,

— infrastructure services, identified in response to the general requirements of the projects of common interest aimed at facili-

tating interoperability, this being the essential condition in both technical and economic terms,

— strategic activities and support for the evaluation and promotion eGovernment services and the promotion of good prac-

tice and cost/benefit analyses,

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts
derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute
assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of correspond-
ing appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 200 000.

The aim of this initiative is to draw attention to the value, diversity and shared characteristics of European tourist destinations
and to promote destinations where the economic growth objective is pursued in such a way as to ensure the social, cultural and
environmental sustainability of tourism. The measure will also help European citizens to become better acquainted with one
another.

Each year, five destinations in five Member States will be designated European Destinations of Excellence on the basis of a rota
system.

The project’s aims are to:

— enable each destination to derive economic benefit from its tourism resources while showing proper respect for its social

and environmental fabric;

— monitor tourism development and measure the initiative’s impact on each destination’s economy (the use of local satellite
accounts for at least two years before and three years after designation will be considered favourably by the group when
making the assessment);

— mainstream the concept of sustainable tourism in other tourism-related policies such as culture, transport, craft trades and

agriculture;

— foster networking with other tourist destinations, which will preferably be candidate destinations for other Member States

in the same year, so as to ensure joint promotion on a lasting basis;

— promote events that involve tourism operators in other destinations in the Member States and foster their movement within

the Union;

— promote visits by EU citizens and foster the widest possible publicity for planned events, making use of all available mul-

timedia tools;

— involve local inhabitants and businesses in planning the events to be held during the year;

— ensure that a broad section of the local population takes an interest and becomes involved in the project, so that the mea-

sure has an impact on local society that will last beyond the year’s events;

— draw attention to the value of the destinations’ historical and cultural heritages and quality of life.

Remarks

These remarks are only applicable to Article 02 04 01.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 16 December 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in,
and for the dissemination of research results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme
(2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23).

Research activities carried out within the sixth framework programme should respect fundamental ethical principles (in accor-
dance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC), including animal welfare requirements. These principles include, in par-
ticular, those reflected in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union. The need to stress activities aimed at promoting the role of women in science and research will receive particular
attention.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, work-
shops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological
analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community
action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the pro-
grammes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, admin-
istrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achieve-
ment of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for prepa-
ration and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in
Items 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Former Article 02 03 05

The aim of the actions carried out in this area is twofold:

— to consolidate, by integrating its research efforts, the position of the European space industry vis-à-vis increasingly strong

world competition, and

— to help exploit the potential of this sector with a view to improving safety and environmental protection.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action
is needed. Projects qualifying under the SME-specific actions for which insufficient funding is available should be made eligible
for funding under the thematic programme if those projects fulfill the thematic requirements.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

Former Article 02 06 01

The preparatory action aims to:

— explore the conditions and mechanisms for creating a more favourable environment for scientific, technological and indus-
trial competitiveness in the field of European security: the objective is to assess how to narrow the rapidly increasing tech-
nological and industrial gap between Europe and other regions,

— establish a consultation and consensus-building platform with the relevant stakeholders, in order to develop a long-term

vision and a strategic agenda in the concerning area,

— launch a series of precursory activities:

— call for ideas,

— networking of stakeholders and existing activities,

— definition of a working programme,

— the setting-up of conditions for stimulating the exploitation of results,

— the development of interoperable pre-standards and systems,

— accompanying measures,

— a limited number of test cases in carefully selected domains.

As far as the internal security of the EU is concerned, the work must be consistent with its priorities as outlined in the ‘Justice
and Home Affairs’ multiannual programme against terrorism and serious crime. The work must also be conducted with due
regard for fundamental rights and democratic accountability at EU and at national level.

Overall objectives

The objective of the Commission in this area is to enforce the competition rules of the Community Treaties in order to ensure that competition
in the European Union market is not distorted, thereby contributing to the welfare of consumers and the competitiveness of the European
economy.

Competition policy aims at protecting consumer welfare and at ensuring a level playing field for companies competing in the market, in particu-
lar by combating obstacles to parallel trade which distort the functioning of the internal market. Undistorted competition is also a key dimension
of the enlargement process and a factor in Europe’s global competitiveness. The common currency calls for an even greater role for competition
policy in order to further dynamically integrate markets. Hence, competition policy, including merger control, cartel dismantling, enforcement of
the antitrust rules, market liberalisation, State aid control and international cooperation between competition authorities is one of the Commis-
sion’s key tasks under the Treaty.

New article

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the following actions:

— training of national judges in the application of European competition law,

— the creation of cooperation networks between national judges in the same area.

These actions are intended to guarantee correct and coherent application of the Community competition rules throughout the
European Union, in particular in view of the reform brought in by Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002
on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty (OJ L 1, 4.1.2003, p. 1).

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

for the staff concerned and 3 % by the cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those
staff members,

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objec-
tive of the programme or measures coming under this item, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative

CHAPTER 04 02 — EMPLOYMENT AND EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier
being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European Coun-
cil, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Com-
mission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures under the EQUAL Community initiative relating to transnational cooperation
towards the promotion of new practices for combating discrimination and inequality of all kinds on the labour market.

An indicative amount representing a maximum of 2 % of the budget allocation for this initiative will be reserved for financing
technical assistance. Where such technical assistance measures are carried out at the initiative of the Commission, up to 100 %
of their total cost can be financed.

Pursuant to Article 3 of the EC Treaty, in defining and implementing other Community policies the Community is to aim to
eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women.

Structural Fund appropriations can therefore be used only if the measures which they finance accord with the provisions of the
Treaties and with the legal acts adopted pursuant to the Treaties, particularly those concerning environmental protection and
equality between men and women, the combating of all forms of discrimination, and the social inclusion of disadvantaged per-
sons, including disabled persons.

A significant part of this appropriation will be allocated to combating discrimination against women with regard to access to
the labour market and vocational training and with regard to advancement in employment.

COMMISSION
TITLE 04 — EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS

CHAPTER 04 02 — EMPLOYMENT AND EUROPEAN SOCIAL FUND (cont’d)

04 02 12 (cont’d)

This network is aimed at developing cooperation between the Commission and the Member States, and in particular their
employment services, with a view to:

— the provision of placement, advice and information services for workers as regards employment in another Member State

and for employers wishing to recruit in another Member State,

— the exchange of job vacancies and applications at Community level and across borders,

— the exchange of information between Member States concerning labour-market trends and living and working conditions.

The EURES network may include special cooperation and service structures, at the initiative of border regions.

The EURES network has close operational links with the relevant activities in the Commission DGs for Education and Culture
and Justice, Freedom and Security, such as Europass and Leonardo.

Further studies will be conducted to explore the feasibility of a European approach to the certification of non-formal
qualifications.

The network will ensure that the principle of freedom of movement is respected and that it operates in a transparent and non-
discriminatory fashion, with particular regard to access to employment for Community nationals in a country other than that
of their origin.

This appropriation covers measures that are essential to the smooth running of the EURES network, in particular the following
support measures:

— subsidies for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners,

— initial and further training of EURES advisers in the Member States,

— contacts between the EURES advisers and cooperation between government employment services, including those of can-

didate countries,

— promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,

— measures to help remove mobility obstacles, particularly in the field of work-related social security,

— development of multilingual computerised systems consisting of the two databases (‘job vacancies and applications’ and

‘living and working conditions’), as well as maintenance and expansion of an Internet site,

— development of special structures for cooperation and services in border areas, pursuant to Article 17(b) of Regulation (EEC)

No 1612/68, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2434/92,

— participation in the creation of a single site containing information on mobility in Europe, providing access to job vacan-
cies and information on job offers (with links to public and private employment services), jobseekers, living and working
conditions, education and training, and student and teacher mobility. This portal should also address the needs of nationals
from third countries, in particular from countries coming under the EU’s Neighbourhood Policy.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

— developing an active information policy that is geared to the needs of the public, and of disadvantaged persons in particu-

lar, and measures to support presidency initiatives and other events of international significance,

— measures to promote cooperation, improve knowledge, develop an exchange of information, promote best practices
and innovative approaches and to evaluate experience in implementing national action plans for employment at local and
regional level in the context of the European employment strategy.

In keeping with the conclusions of the Lisbon European Council on Employment of 23 and 24 March 2000, these aims serve
an integrated approach to a European employment strategy which can only be managed at Community level. The proposed
activities underpin the coordinated approach of the EES, keeping in mind the balance between the three overarching objectives
of full employment, quality and productivity at work, cohesion and an inclusive labour market as reflected in the new Employ-
ment guidelines.

In line with actions undertaken earlier, the analysis of employment trends and related labour market issues will receive major
importance. It includes, in particular, analysis on labour market dynamics, immigration and the integration of immigrants into
the workforce and undeclared work in an enlarged Union, including the measurement of its size.

The promotion of exchanges of information and transfers of good practices between Member States, social partners and rel-
evant stakeholders through a mutual learning programme consisting of thematic review seminars, peer review meetings
and national and joint follow-up activities was started in 2004 (on the theme of adaptability and on active ageing) to come to its
full implementation in 2005.

Based on the EIM programme, the local employment development activities will ensure that the good practices identified and
experiences gained in the development of local employment strategies, are disseminated both in the MS and the new MS as well
as integrated into the EES and the mainstream programmes of the ESF. Local actors should be fully informed of the EU and
national policies in the framework of the EES and, taking these fully into account, be encouraged whenever possible to develop
comprehensive employment strategies as opposed to isolated initiatives and projects.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the costs of coordinating activities in the field of cross-border labour mobility and
skills.

Remarks

In its communication of 7 April 2000 (COM(2000) 196 final), the Commission refers to the need to motivate regional and local
players to take part in the European employment strategy. The projects financed serve to encourage cooperation, improve
knowledge, develop exchanges of information, promote best practices and innovative approaches at local and regional level as
part of the European employment strategy.

The purpose of these activities is to make local and regional authorities and other key local partners, including representatives
of the mutual and non-profit sector, aware of the scope for measures conducive to implementing the employment guidelines at
local and regional level and the interlinking thereof at regional and local levels.

They include in particular:

— promoting publicity work for the European employment strategy and its implementation at local and regional levels, stud-
ies on how mutual and non-profit institutions can be supported at local and regional levels, studies on how to improve
transnational cooperation and the dissemination of proven practices in implementing local employment initiatives and
studies on what measures can be taken to create incentives for local and regional partners to contribute towards imple-
menting the European employment strategy,

— enhancing the employment potential of the ‘third system’‚ and financing innovative preparatory actions, not least at local

level, in the areas of social and neighbourhood services, the environment and the arts.

Particular focus is to be on the gender aspects of employment policy.

In connection with calls for proposals under this article, no restrictions on access to funding which require cross-border part-
nerships to comprise partners from more than three Member States are permitted.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002
on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the social partners’ participation in the European employment strategy
and the implementation of the Lisbon strategy. It is intended to cover grants for promoting the social dialogue at cross-industry
and sectoral level in accordance with Articles 138 and 139 of the Treaty. The appropriations will therefore be used to finance
consultations, meetings, negotiations and other operations designed to achieve these objectives.

In addition, as the heading suggests, this appropriation can cover support for industrial relations measures, in particular those
designed to develop expertise and exchange of information on a European basis. This will include measures relating to the Com-
mission Green Paper ‘Promoting a European framework for Corporate Social Responsibility’ [COM(2001) 366 final], the Com-
mission communication ‘Corporate Social Responsibility: A business contribution to Sustainable Development’ [COM(2002)
347 final], the Commission communication ‘…’ [COM(2005)… final] and follow-up action.

It also covers measures to promote the actions set out in the Commission Communication on a framework for the promotion
of employee financial participation (COM(2002) 364 final).

Pilot projects intended to develop codes of conduct and social labels in order to guarantee respect for fundamental social and
employment rights, with the participation of companies, trade unions and NGOs that defend fundamental social rights will also
be eligible.

This appropriation may also cover funding of measures involving representatives of the social partners in the candidate coun-
tries. It is also intended to promote equal participation of women in the decision-making bodies of both trade unions and
employers’ organisations. These last two components are of a horizontal nature.

Remarks

This appropriation covers, in particular, funding of measures aimed at strengthening transnational cooperation between work-
ers’ and employers’ representatives in respect of information, consultation and participation within undertakings operating in
more than one Member State, with priority assistance going to undertakings which are not subject to Directive 94/45/EC or
Directive 97/74/EC.

Part of this appropriation also covers the setting-up of information and observation points on the premises of European social
partners possessing the necessary expertise in the field of action covered by this item. The aim of such information points is
to inform and help the social partners and undertakings to set up transnational consultation, participation and information struc-
tures, and to foster relations with the European institutions.

It may also be used to finance training actions for negotiators and representatives working with the transnational information,
consultation and participation bodies, whereby female representatives must be given priority in order to increase women’s rep-
resentation in decision-making bodies.

In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six), the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large pro-
portion of the margin in heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.

Pursuant to Article 185 of the Financial Regulation and the corresponding articles of the framework Regulation for each of the
bodies set up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.

The Agency’s objective is to provide the Community institutions, Member States and interested parties with technical, scientific
and economic information of use in the area of health and safety at work.

EUR 1 000 000 is earmarked for an SME programme.

The estimate of revenue and expenditure for the financial year is as follows:

Revenue:

— Title 1 ‘European Community subsidy’

— Title 2 ‘Miscellaneous revenue’

Expenditure:

— Title 1 ‘Staff’

— Title 2 ‘Administrative expenditure’

— Title 3 ‘Operating expenditure’

This appropriation covers the measures necessary to accomplish the Agency’s tasks as defined in Regulation (EC) No 2062/94,
and in particular:

— awareness-building and risk-anticipation measures, with special emphasis on SMEs,

— setting up a ‘risk observatory’ based on examples of good practice collected from firms or specific branches of activity,

— organising exchanges of experience, information and good practices,

— integrating the candidate countries into these information networks and devising working tools which are geared to their

specific situation,

— organising the European week on health and safety, focusing on specific risks and needs of users and final beneficiaries.

Remarks

Pursuant to Article 145 of the EC Treaty, the European Parliament can ask the Commission to draw up reports on problems
concerning the social situation. The Commission is called on to produce each year a report on the social situation, including
specific chapters on demographic trends (especially their interaction with the labour market and social protection).

In particular, the following aims will be pursued:

— analysis of the impact of population ageing in the framework of a society for all ages, in terms of trends in needs, behav-

iour and flanking policies, including research on elderly minorities/migrants, as well as on ageing and ethnicity,

— analysis of the impact of demographic change on EU and Member State policies, measures and programmes, and formu-
lation of recommendations for adjustments to economic and other policies, measures and programmes at European and
national level in order to prevent the ageing of society from having a negative impact,

— analysis of the links between the family unit and demographic trends, identification of the existing relations between tech-
nological development (impact on communication technologies, geographical and occupational mobility) and the conse-
quences for households and society in general,

— analysis of trends in social objectives (in terms of safeguarding acquired rights or extending them) regarding both goods

and services, taking account of demographic trends and redefinition of the relationships between generations,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community action programme to encourage cooperation between Member States
to combat social exclusion. This multiannual programme lasting five years was adopted on 7 December 2001 and came into
force on 12 January 2002.

Article 137 of the Treaty establishing the European Community includes provisions permitting the Community to adopt mea-
sures designed to encourage cooperation between Member States in order to combat social exclusion. The Lisbon European
Council concluded that ‘policies for combating social exclusion should be based on an open method of coordination combining
national action plans and an initiative for cooperation in this field’. Reinforcing the commitments made at the Lisbon European
Council, the Nice European Council adopted appropriate objectives to combat social exclusion and eliminate poverty. These
objectives reflect the following four themes:

— promoting participation in employment and access for all to resources, rights, goods and services,

— preventing exclusion,

— mobilising all those involved.

The Member States are called upon to use these objectives as a basis for formulating their priorities and submitting national
action plans spanning a two-year period.

As adopted, the programme comprises three strands:

— A first strand will concentrate on analysing the characteristics, the processes, the reasons for and the evolution of social
exclusion. This strand will help Member States develop a common methodology and statistical indicators. It will also pro-
vide thematic studies which will help to better understand social exclusion and to address issues of common interest stem-
ming from policy trends in the Member States.

— A second strand will focus more directly on promoting cooperation and the exchange of information and good practices
at transnational level and on promoting innovative projects with European added value. This strand also supports the
mutual learning process between Member States, in the context of their national action plans, in particular via the peer
review method. Under the open coordination method on social inclusion, special attention will be paid in 2006 to the pro-
cess of examining the implementation of the national action plans against poverty and exclusion and to the drafting of a
joint report,

— A third strand will promote the participation of the various stakeholders and support networking at EU level. This strand
includes support to networks of NGOs, of regional and local authorities, and of voluntary associations committed to the
fight against social exclusion and poverty. The organisation of an annual round table on social exclusion and other events
organised by the Presidency of the European Union in this field should be funded under this strand.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The candidate countries may make use of the Phare pre-accession instrument to cover the expenditure resulting from their par-
ticipation in the programme. Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community
programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in
accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Under the multiannual action programme, this appropriation is intended to finance measures to promote information exchange
and cooperation, improve knowledge of best practices and innovative approaches and assess the experience gained in combat-
ing and/or preventing discrimination based on the grounds referred to in Article 13 of the Treaty.

In the interests of a coherent framework for, and a mainstreaming approach to combating discrimination, the measures should
usually focus on more than one of the factors involved in discrimination as referred to in Article 13 of the EC Treaty. However,
where insufficient common ground between these factors exists, it will be possible to fund projects which concentrate on one
form of discrimination as referred to in Article 13. The programme supports measures to prevent and combat discrimination
on grounds of racial and ethnic origin, religion and belief, disability, age and sexual orientation. In accordance with the Council
Decision, this appropriation is intended to finance actions under three strands:

— analysis of factors related to discrimination, including through studies and the development of qualitative and quantitative
indicators and benchmarks, in accordance with national law and practices, and the evaluation of anti-discrimination leg-
islation and practice, with a view to assessing its effectiveness and impact, with effective dissemination of the results,

— transnational cooperation and the promotion of networking at European level between partners active in the prevention

of, and the fight against, discrimination, including non-governmental organisations,

— awareness-raising, in particular to emphasise the European dimension of the fight against discrimination and to publicise

the results of the programme, in particular through communications, publications, campaigns and events.

Building and learning on the achievements of previous Years, notably the 1997 European year Against Racism and most recently
the European Year of People with Disabilities in 2003, the European Year of Equal Opportunities will provide an unique oppor-
tunity and platform to raise awareness on a more cohesive society that celebrates differences and respect the substantial EU acquis
in equality and non-discrimination. It will also stimulate debate and dialogue on questions which are central to achieving a just
and inclusive society.

In order to secure the full involvement of all actors concerned, to prepare the public and achieve the greatest impact, certain
activities must be set up in 2006, in preparation to the 2007 European Year.

The actions to be carried out in 2006 will comprise, inter alia,

— a European conference to launch the year,

— an information campaign for the development, production and dissemination of awareness-raising tools to ensure broad

publicity of the upcoming year,

— a Union-wide survey to allow measuring the impact,

— an evaluation of the activities developed in the framework of the year.

Irrespective of the beneficiary, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance the programme relating to the Community strategy on gender equality (2001 to 2005).
The objective is to support actions intended to promote equal opportunities and treatment, including the legal aspects, by:

— training and disseminating good practices in the area of equality,

— improving understanding and knowledge of direct and indirect gender-based discrimination,

— supporting actions intended to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing policies and practices,

— supporting and developing the skills of the key players in this area.

It is also intended for measures:

— to raise citizens’ awareness of equal opportunities and equal treatment between men and women and to ensure that they

are better taken into account (support for transnational initiatives, publications, conferences, information events),

— for analysis and evaluation (development, as far as possible, of indicators and statistics broken down by gender and age,

analysing the application of the legislation and the labour–market situation, thematic studies),

— for the exchange and development of information and experiences on good practices (calls for proposals).

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Overall objectives

The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair
standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.

The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the reform from June 2003/April 2004. The key
aim of these reforms, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural
sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable
development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the
second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure
the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.

2006 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms and the accession of 10 new Member States, of implementation of the expected
Council decisions on the rural development framework 2007-2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of preparation of the enlarge-
ment with Romania and Bulgaria.

Rural development in the EAGGF Guidance Section

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accor-
dance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or
of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing
the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances,
which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accor-
dance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation may be used to finance a study:

— to look in detail at the main causes of the dying back of forests in the European Union, with particular reference to fires

and atmospheric pollution, and at possible ways of reducing their occurrence,

— to analyse the impact of the fire-prevention measures introduced as part of rural development policy in the Member States
and consider how to make the best possible use of available resources, mainly by improving coordination between Mem-
ber States and between regions,

— to examine the possibility of setting up a Community strategy to combat the dying back of forests which will make it pos-

sible to update existing national and/or regional programmes;

— to examine how coordination can be improved between the various Community forest protection mechanisms,

— to consider the possible creation of a specialist forest protection agency.

It may also be used to cover technical and/or administrative assistance connected with preparation, management, monitoring,
auditing and control of the project, and expenditure on the dissemination of the results of the study.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on controls which the Commission will carry out on expenditure, includ-
ing expenditure on its own prerogatives, 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 as well as audit costs, in particular where aided
by audit firms.

It is also intended to cover 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. fruit and vegetables, the grading of carcases, the water content of chicken carcases, etc.).

Remarks

Since expenditure on staff and buildings is included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01 and XX 01 03 01, the
Commission subsidy, together with the Agency’s own revenue, is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Agency in its
activities.

At its 23rd session on 1 and 2 February 1960, the Euratom Council proposed unanimously that the Commission postpone not
only the levying of the charge (intended to cover the operating expenditure of the Euratom Supply Agency) but also the actual
introduction of the said charge. Since then a subsidy has been included in the budget to balance the revenue side against the
Agency expenditure figures shown in the statement of estimates.

Legal basis

Reference acts

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to interna-
tional road haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo’. The alternatives considered are short-sea shipping, rail and inland waterway.

The main objective of the programme is to help shift an amount of cargo corresponding to the anticipated growth of interna-
tional road haulage to other modes.

Three types of action which complement each other are proposed:

— start-up support for new non-road freight transport services, which should be viable in the mid-term (modal shift actions),

— support for launching freight services or facilities of strategic European interest (catalyst actions),

— stimulating cooperative behaviour in the freight logistics market (common learning actions).

The Marco Polo programme will also be able to fund actions involving countries which are candidates for accession to the Euro-
pean Union.

This appropriation also covers dissemination activities and accompanying measures.

The support for commercial action in the market for freight transport services is different from the support given through
research and development programmes and the trans-European network programme. Marco Polo will foster modal shift projects
in all segments of the freight market, not only in combined transport.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended for the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN), which is
held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 154
to 156 of the Treaty establishing the European Community). This contribution takes the form of co-financing of projects of
common interest identified in the Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network
(Decision No 1692/96/EC).

The aim is:

— to help define projects of common interest,

— to speed up the Member States’ implementation of trans-European transport network projects of common interest,

— to overcome the financial obstacles which may hamper the start-up phase of a project, particularly by means of feasibility

studies,

— to encourage the participation of private capital in project funding, as well as public/private partnerships,

— to ensure better financial arrangements for projects, minimising the use of public funding, thanks to flexible means of

intervention.

Since 2001, the bulk of Community funding has been covered by a multiannual indicative programme (MIP) established by the
Commission. The purpose of the programme is the sound and rational establishment of the level of expenditure from the trans-
European network budget over the period 2001 to 2006. The MIP is giving project promoters an assurance of Community sup-
port during the period in question, particularly where projects are undertaken in the form of public/private partnerships.

The programme divides into three specific actions.

First specific action

Annex III to Decision No 1692/96/EC lists the 14 projects approved by the Essen European Council in 1994. Most of these
projects are now reaching the construction phase. In a small number of cases, technical studies are to be pursued before a deci-
sion is taken on construction.

Second specific action: programme for the Galileo satellite navigation system

The Galileo satellite radio-navigation system has entered its second (development and validation) phase covering the period 2001
to 2005. It comprises the development of the satellites and ground-control stations and the validation of the system ‘in orbit’.

COMMISSION
TITLE 06 — ENERGY AND TRANSPORT

CHAPTER 06 03 — TRANS-EUROPEAN NETWORKS (cont’d)

06 03 01 (cont’d)

Third specific action

Other projects identified in the context of the guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, such as
the elimination of bottlenecks in the rail network, the maintenance of cross-border rail links and cross-border projects, as well
as other traffic management projects, including ‘intelligent’ transport systems (ITS) in the road and air sectors, receive Commu-
nity support.

By concentrating on the priority projects and attaching priority to the elimination of bottlenecks in the rail network, the IMP
provides particular support to the rail sector (63,5 % of the overall amount included in the programme). Full account is thus
being taken of the provision in Regulation (EC) No 1655/1999 that rail projects, including combined transport, should receive
at least 55 % of the TEN budget.

Priority should be given to projects involving crossborder connections, contributing to a modal shift, i.e. towards sustainable
modes (rail and waterways) and with a guarantee that most of the financing will be provided by the Member States concerned
(see the report by the high level group on the trans-European transport network of 27 June 2003, chaired by Mr van Miert). Rail
projects contributing to the east-west unification of Europe should be prioritised.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of economic and technical feasibility studies, preparatory and evaluation stud-
ies and interest-rate subsidies, loan guarantees or direct subsidies, in duly justified cases, for projects of common interest iden-
tified under the guidelines adopted by the Council.

The objective of this measure is to contribute towards the competitive operation of the internal energy market and the strength-
ening of the security of energy supply through the establishment of the network infrastructure required, and in particular

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance actions or measures concerning:

— implementation of medium and long-term strategies in the energy field to promote sustainable development, security of
supply, competitiveness and environmental protection on the basis of shared analyses, including the development of stan-
dards and labelling and certification systems, long-term voluntary commitments to be agreed with industry, as well as for-
ward studies, strategic studies, and regular monitoring of the development of the markets and energy trends,

— creation or enlargement of structures and instruments for sustainable energy development, including local and regional

energy planning and management and the development of adequate financial products and market instruments,

— promotion of sustainable energy systems and equipment in order to accelerate their market penetration and stimulate

investment to ease the transition from demonstration to marketing of the best technologies,

— development of information, education and training structures; the utilisation of results, the promotion and dissemination
of know-how and best practices involving all consumers, and cooperation with the Member States through operational net-
works at Community and international level,

— monitoring of the implementation and impact of Community policy in the field of sustainable energy,

— evaluation of the impact of actions and projects funded under the programme.

The actions and measures are structured in three specific fields:

— improvement of energy efficiency and demand management, in particular in the construction sector and industry, includ-

ing the preparation and application of legislative measures (SAVE),

— promotion of new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production and their integration into

the urban environment, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (Altener),

— support for initiatives relating to the energy aspects of transport, the diversification of fuels and the promotion of renew-

able fuels and energy efficiency in transport, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (STEER).

As a general rule, the funding may not exceed 50 % of the total cost of the action or measure, the rest being covered either by
public or private funds or a combination of the two.

The funding may, however, cover all the cost of some actions, such as studies and other actions to prepare, supplement, imple-
ment and evaluate the impact of Community strategy and policy measures and any measures proposed by the Commission to
encourage exchanges of experience and know-how to improve the coordination between Community, national, international
and other initiatives.

All costs relating to actions and measures undertaken solely on the Commission’s initiative will be borne by the Community.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with

tence allowances and travel expenses),

— training of inspectors,

— purchases of equipment for use in inspections, particularly purchases of monitoring equipment such as digital video sys-

tems, gamma, neutron and infrared measurement devices, electronic seals and seal reader systems,

— procurement and renewal of IT hardware for inspections,

— specific IT projects for inspections (development and maintenance),

— replacement of monitoring and measurement devices which have reached the end of their service life,

— maintenance of equipment, including insurance (specific equipment at the Canberra, Ametek, Fork and GBNS sites),

— technical infrastructure measures, including waste management and sample transport,

— on-site analyses (labour costs and mission expenses for analysts),

— agreements on working premises on site (laboratories, offices, etc.),

Remarks

These remarks are applicable to all the budget headings in this chapter.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 16 December 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in,
and for the dissemination of research results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme
(2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23).

Research activities carried out within the sixth framework programme should respect fundamental ethical principles (in accor-
dance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC), including animal welfare requirements. These principles include, in par-
ticular, those reflected in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union. The need to stress activities aimed at promoting the role of women in science and research will receive particular
attention.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, work-
shops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological
analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community
action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the pro-
grammes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, admin-
istrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achieve-
ment of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for prepa-
ration and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in
Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with
Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the
general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 06 06 04.

(2) An adjustment will be envisaged if and when the Galiléo Joint Undertaking closes.

Remarks

The aim of the actions carried out in this area is twofold:

— to consolidate, by integrating its research efforts, the position of the European aeronautics (implementation of the ‘single
sky’) and space (development of the Galileo satellite navigation system) industry vis-à-vis increasingly strong world com-
petition, and,

— to help exploit the potential of this sector, with a view to improving safety and environmental protection.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

These research measures should aim to contribute to a modal shift in favour of rail, collective/public transport, non-motorised
mobility (cycling/walking) and waterways as well as transport safety. They should be based on an approach involving interop-
erability, intermodality, safety and integration of sustainable development into transport research (Article 6 of the Treaty estab-
lishing the European Community).

This appropriation is intended to cover action aimed at:

— developing means of transport and transport systems for all surface modes (rail, road and inland waterways) which are envi-

ronmentally friendly and competitive (including Civitas II, launched together with the energy subpriority),

— rebalancing and integrating the different modes of transport,

— making rail, road and maritime transport safer, more efficient and more competitive,

— supporting European transport policy.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the implementation of the environmental action programmes, to promote measures
and influence international responses to deal with global and transboundary environmental problems and the full and proper
integration of environmental concerns into all aspects of the Community’s external relations. It will serve to support measures
and initiatives which enhance the Community’s leading role in international environmental fora.

It is used to pursue those objectives through:

— obligatory and voluntary contributions to a growing number of international conventions, protocols and agreements to
which the Community is party and preparatory work for future international agreements involving the Community,

— financial assistance to developing countries and NGOs to participate in work on existing agreements, and preparatory work

on future agreements,

— follow-up actions to the ratification and implementation of the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols (climate change and pro-

tection of the ozone layer,

— follow-up actions to the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (Rio + 10), in particular in relation to the Johan-
nesburg Renewable Energy Coalition (notably the JREC Patient capital initiative), the Water Initiative designed to help bring-
ing clean water and sanitation as basic goods to billions in the development countries and to the good management of water
resources as an overall issue and the 10-year framework programme on sustainable consumption and production con-
tained in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation,

— participation in work on trade and environment in the WTO and other international forums including cooperation with

international organisations, notably UNEP, UN/CSD, OECD,

— establishment of a strong environmental pillar in the Euro-Med partnership,

— support to the candidate countries and the Balkans for actions that aim at improving the level of transposition, compliance
and enforcement of the EU environmental acquis. The support in this field will be channelled through contractors, con-
sultants and international organisations, with full coverage and representation in the candidate countries,

— support to EU neighbouring countries for actions that aim at driving them closer to EU environmental norms, standards
and procedures, in the context of the EU Neighbourhood Policy. The support in this field will be channelled through con-
tractors, consultants and international organisations with coverage and representation in the EU neighbouring countries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on grants and service contracts awarded under the Community action
programme promoting non-governmental organisations (NGOs) primarily active in the field of environmental protection. The
multiannual (2002 to 2006) programme includes NGOs in the Balkan and candidate countries and acknowledges the impor-
tance attached to the role and input of these organisations in coordinating and channelling information and views on new and
emerging environmental
issues. The part of the programme relating to NGOs in the Community is detailed under

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial contributions to technical assistance projects in accordance with Article 5 of
Regulation (EC) No 1655/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 concerning the Financial Instru-
ment for the Environment (LIFE) (OJ L 192, 28.7.2000, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1682/2004 of 15 Sep-
tember 2004 (OJ L 308, 5.10.2004, p. 1) pertaining to the third thematic component of LIFE III, ‘LIFE-third countries’. Actions
covered will support the establishment of capacities and administrative structures needed in the environmental sector in third
countries. The financial framework for the implementation of the extension in the period 2005 to 2006 is set at
EUR 317 200 000. The allocation of available appropriations for accompanying measures is limited to 6 % for the period 1 Janu-
ary 2005 to 31 December 2006. The countries eligible to participate in the LIFE-third countries programme are Albania, Alge-
ria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the West Bank and Gaza
Strip and the Baltic shoreline of Russia (Kaliningrad and St Petersburg regions). The European Union and bordering countries
acting together to address environmental problems will be far more effective than individual national actions; many such issues
being of a transnational nature. The activities undertaken aim at contributing to the development and strengthening of national
environmental policies and action programmes with the objective of increasing environmental protection in countries border-
ing on the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea, other than candidate central and east European countries who have signed asso-
ciation agreements with the European Union.

Support to actions promoting cooperation and coordination between several countries (European Union and bordering coun-
tries) is particularly targeted by the multiannual programme.

Irrespective of the beneficiary, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

Remarks

The recent natural disasters which affected several Member states and accession countries through forest fires, floods or drought
have clearly shown the deficits in cooperation between countries but also between border regions. This pilot project is aimed at
raising awareness of the need for cooperation and should provide a framework to develop closer cooperation on civil protec-
tion measures with a view to preventing or at least minimising the consequences of such disasters by developing cross-border
early warning, coordination and logistical tools (European Parliament resolution of 8 September 2005).

may include legislation, voluntary agreements and other approaches, will follow broad discussion with interested parties from
across the European Union.

Overall objectives

The Commission’s policy initiatives to achieve the European Research Area are devised, developed and followed up within this policy area.

European research contributes to attaining the objectives of the other Community policies and, in return, promotes the incorporation of research
policy needs in these policies.

Community actions required to achieve the European Research Area are devised and implemented within this policy area, in particular the research
and technological development framework programmes.

This domain contributes to implementing the Lisbon strategy for employment, international competitiveness, economic reform and social cohe-
sion in the European Union, in particular in connection with the establishment of an area of education, training, research and innovation.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapters 08 13 and 08 14).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 Decem-
ber 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in, and for the dissemination of research
results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme (2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23)
and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 2322/2002 of 5 November 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research cen-
tres and universities in the implementation of the sixth framework programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (2002 to 2006)
(OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 35).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific
programmes within the same framework programme will be applicable. That definition reads as follows: ‘An eligible SME is a legal entity that
complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract
research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the sixth framework programme will be carried out in
compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in
Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of
the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and semi-
nars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out
on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research
Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, infor-
mation, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with
the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation
and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research
is possible in the case of some of these projects (particularly COST). Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the
statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of Council Regulation
(EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities
(OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, indus-
trial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accor-
dance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the state-
ment of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 12 03.

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help Europe to exploit, by means of an integrated research effort, the results
of breakthroughs achieved in decoding the genomes of living organisms for the benefit of public health and citizens and
to increase the competitiveness of the European biotechnology industry.

The emphasis will be put on research aimed at bringing basic knowledge through to application, to enable real and consistent
progress in medicine and improve quality of life.

More funding must be made available for research into developing alternatives to animal testing.

The research activities will cover the following aspects:

— fundamental knowledge and basic tools for functional genomics in all organisms: the strategic objective of this line of action
is to foster the basic understanding of genomic information, by developing the knowledge base, tools and resources needed
to decipher the function of genes and gene products relevant to human health and to explore their interactions with each
other and with their environment,

— application of knowledge and technologies in the field of genomics and biotechnology for health: the strategic objective of
this line of action is to foster the competitiveness of Europe’s biotechnology industry by exploiting the wealth of biological
data produced by genomics and advances in biotechnology.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action
is needed. Projects qualifying under the SME-specific actions for which insufficient funding is available should be made eligible
for funding under the thematic programme if those projects fulfill the thematic requirements.

The research activities will cover the following aspects:

— application-oriented genomic approaches to medical knowledge and technologies: the strategic objective of this line of
action is to develop improved strategies for the prevention and management, using also advanced technologies for health,
of human disease (cardiovascular, rare and nervous system diseases, diabetes, resistance to antibiotics, and rheumatism) and
for living and ageing healthily. It will concentrate exclusively on integrating a genomic approach through all relevant organ-
isms into more established medical approaches for investigating disease and health determinants. The emphasis will be on
transnational research aimed at bringing basic knowledge through to clinical application,

— combating cancer: the objective is to combat cancer by developing improved patient-oriented strategies, from prevention
to more effective and earlier diagnosis and better treatment with minimal side effects. The research will therefore concen-
trate on translating the knowledge being created by genomics and other fields of basic research into applications that
improve clinical practice and public health,

— confronting the major communicable diseases linked to poverty: the strategic objective of this line of action is to confront
the global emergency caused by the three major communicable diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, through the
development of effective disease interventions, particularly for use in developing countries. It is envisaged that developing
countries will be significant partners in the implementation of this line of action and, as appropriate, participate directly in
specific activities within it, in particular through the clinical trials programme and other international initiatives, in par-
ticular those related to HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis research. In addition, pursuant to Article 169 of the EC Treaty,
this item also provides for financial participation by the Community in programmes undertaken by several Member States.
This action on Community participation in a research and development programme aimed at developing new clinical inter-
ventions to combat the global crisis caused by HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis through a long-term partnership
between Europe and the developing countries, undertaken by Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ire-
land, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, comes under the
heading ‘Combating major diseases’.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action

Remarks

The aim of the actions carried out in this area is twofold:

— to consolidate, by integrating its research efforts, the position of the European aeronautics industry vis-à-vis increasingly

strong world competition, and

— to help exploit the potential of this sector with a view to improving safety and reducing the environmental impact with

regard to noise and emissions, in particular CO2 and NOx.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action
is needed. Projects qualifying under the SME-specific actions for which insufficient funding is available should be made eligible
for funding under the thematic programme if those projects fulfill the thematic requirements.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

— re-balancing and integrating various transport modes,

— increasing road, rail and waterborne safety and avoiding traffic congestion.

Research to support European transport policy focuses on implementation and utilisation of the results in the short term. Activi-
ties will be launched in the field of technologies for clean urban transport (the Civitas II initiative, supported together with the
‘sustainable energy systems’ subpriority), converting the European rail system and infrastructure charging.

Research, technological development and integration focus on developing new technologies specific to surface transport and
on their integration in future transport systems and products in the short, medium and long term.

Expected outcomes include new generations of clean, quiet vehicles and ships, efficient, environment-friendly production sys-
tems‚ technologies promoting the modal balance, as well as technologies to maximise the safety of the various transport modes.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action

Remarks

The general objective of the activities carried out under this heading is to provide support for:

— the development of abundant and world-class human resources in all the regions of the Community, by promoting tran-
snational mobility for training purposes, the development of expertise or the transfer of knowledge in particular between
different sectors,

— the development of scientific excellence, and

— helping to make Europe more attractive to third-country researchers.

This should be achieved by attempting to make the most of the potential of all components of the population, particularly
women, by taking appropriate measures to this end.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover earlier commitments.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The contributions from EFTA States relate exclusively to their participation in the non-nuclear activities of the framework
programme.

Other annual actions outside the framework programme.

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

Overall objectives

Within this policy area, the main objectives of the communications services policy are to promote the development of an open and competitive
internal market by implementing the new rules and to introduce a spectrum policy at Community level.

The eEurope operation fits in with the objectives set by the eEurope 2005 action plan, in particular the reinforcement of network security, pro-
motion of the European dimension of the Internet by introducing the ‘.eu’ domain, promotion of the European digital presence in global net-
works and the interoperability of telecommunications networks.

As for research and development activities in the information society policy area, information technologies must be stimulated by means of the
specific programme in the sixth RTD framework programme ‘Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area’ and ‘Structuring the Euro-
pean Research Area’. The main objectives to be achieved will be: solving security problems in order to improve the reliability of the technologies,
infrastructures and applications, strengthening social cohesion by creating intelligent, easy-to-use systems, contributing to favourable conditions
for growth and boosting business competitiveness and helping resolve complex problems in the sciences, society, industry and the economy.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the Modinis multiannual programme, which provides financial
support to the eEurope 2005 action plan adopted by the European Council Seville in 2002. The overall objective of the eEurope
2005 action plan is to provide a favourable environment for private investment and for the creation of new jobs, to boost pro-
ductivity, to modernise public services, and to give everyone the opportunity to participate in the global information society.
eEurope 2005 therefore aims to stimulate secure services, applications and content based on a widely available broadband
infrastructure.

The measures carried out under this programme must take the gender dimension into account and must help ensure greater
involvement of women in the information society.

The Community intervention is to finance the monitoring and the comparison of the efforts of the Member States on the basis
of the open method of performance coordination adopted under the Lisbon strategy.

The general objectives of the action are:

— monitoring of the performances of the countries of the European Union against the most advanced countries by consti-

tuting a database of uniform and comparable information between the Member States,

— analysis of best eEurope practices and development of mechanisms for the exchange of experience with a view to convert-

ing the best practices into political measures,

— analysis of the impact of the ‘information society’ on society,

— support and promotion of network security by means of studies, surveys and exchanges of experience.

The measures described above will be the subject of contracts covering the following: analysis, expert reports, evaluation, spe-
cific studies, technical operations, coordination, grants, participation in international cooperation projects, participation in
expenditure on equipment and on accompanying and support measures (studies, seminars, workshops, publications, creation
of Internet sites for the dissemination of information and launching of electronic discussions on the Internet).

Remarks
The overall objective of this programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable in areas of
public interest — such as public sector information, education and culture — facilitating the creation and diffusion of infor-
mation and knowledge at the Union level. The programme will support the development of multilingual content for innovative,
online services across the EU. Such content should help to drive demand for broadband access and bring wider benefits for busi-
nesses, citizens and the economy. The programme seeks to support the combination of information from different systems —
irrespective of format, language or location — and to ensure that content works on different platforms, and is better tailored to
the specific needs of the user.
The operational focus will be on:
— facilitating access to, use and exploitation of digital content,
— improving quality and facilitating best practice for digital content,
— reinforcing cooperation and awareness.
The measures described above will be the subject of shared-cost actions covering: projects designed to augment knowledge
to improve existing products, processes and/or services and/or to meet the needs of Community policies; best practice actions
to spread knowledge and thematic networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders around a given technological and organi-
sational objective. There will also be parts that are fully financed by the Community, such as the accompanying measures that
will contribute to the implementation of the programme or the preparation of future activities (studies in support of the pro-
gramme; exchange of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered activi-
ties; dissemination, information and communication activities, evaluation and monitoring of the measure and projects).
To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The specific objectives are:

— fighting against illegal content by allowing users to report illegal content, with a network of hotlines,

— tackling unwanted and harmful content: benchmarking of filtering software, coordination of exchanges of information and
best practices on effective enforcement against spam, development of effective filtering technology; adaptation of existing
content rating systems to take account of convergence,

— promoting a safer environment by supporting a self-regulatory approach (design and implementation of European codes

of conduct for industry) and ensuring cooperation at Community level,

— increasing awareness about safer use of the Internet, by supporting a European network of awareness activities.

Content providers, Internet service providers and mobile network operators, regulators, standards bodies, industry self-regulatory
bodies, national, regional and local authorities responsible for industry, education, consumer protection, families, children’s
rights and child welfare and non-governmental organisations active in consumer protection, families, children’s rights and child
welfare will all be called on to contribute to putting this programme into action.

These measures will be implemented by means of the following shared-cost action:

— pilot projects and best practice actions; ad hoc projects in areas relevant to the programme, including projects demonstrat-

ing best practice or involving innovative uses of existing technology,

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders to ensure action throughout the European Union and to facilitate coor-

dination activities and transfer of knowledge. They may be linked to best-practice actions,

— applied Europe-wide research carried out on a comparable basis into the way people, especially children, use new media.

Accompanying measures will contribute to the implementation of the programme or the preparation of future activities. They
will include:

— benchmarking and opinion surveys to produce reliable data on safer use of the Internet and new online technologies for all

Member States collected through a comparable methodology,

— technical assessment of technologies such as filtering designed to promote safer use of Internet and new online technologies,

— studies in support of the programme and its actions, including self-regulation and the work of the Safer Internet Forum,

and the preparation of future activities,

— prize competitions for best practice; exchange of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and

the management of clustered activities plus dissemination, information and communication activities.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance the establishment of the European Network and Information Security Agency as pro-
vided for by Regulation (EC) No 460/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The Agency was set up to enhance the capability of the Community, the Member States and, as a consequence, the business
community to prevent, address and to respond to network and information security problems. In order to achieve this goal, the
Agency will be developing a high level of expertise and stimulate broad cooperation between actors from the public and private
sectors.

The Agency’s aim is to provide assistance and to deliver advice to the Commission and the Member States on issues related to
network and information security falling within its competencies and to assist the Commission, where called upon, in the tech-
nical preparatory work for updating and developing Community legislation in the field of network and information security.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2).

The Agency must inform the budgetary authority about transfers of appropriations between operating and administrative
expenditure.

CHAPTER 09 04 — RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT ON INFORMATION SOCIETY POLICY (cont’d)

Remarks

This chapter covers, amongst others, the priority thematic research areas for which it is proposed to seek to allocate at least
15 % of the total financial resources to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to be supplemented by horizontal research
activities of interest to SMEs.

These remarks are applicable to all the budget headings in this chapter.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 16 December 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in,
and for the dissemination of research results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme
(2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23).

Research activities carried out within the sixth framework programme should respect fundamental ethical principles, in accor-
dance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, p. 1)
including animal welfare requirements. These principles include, in particular, those reflected in Article 6 of the Treaty on Euro-
pean Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The need to stress activities aimed at promoting
the role of women in science and research will receive particular attention.

Also entered in these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops
and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the
specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and
evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter
alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes,
including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, admin-
istrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achieve-
ment of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for prepa-
ration and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in
Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with
Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the
general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 09 04 04.

Remarks

The priority thematic area of information society technologies (IST) will contribute directly to the formulation of policies for
the knowledge-based society in line with the revised Lisbon agenda. It will ensure European leadership in the generic and applied
technologies at the heart of the knowledge-based economy. It aims to increase innovation and competitiveness in European busi-
nesses and industry and to contribute to greater benefits for all European citizens.

The 2005 to 2006 work programme will focus research efforts on a limited number of strategic objectives which are essential
to achieve the aims of the IST priority under the sixth research and technological development framework programme. These
strategic objectives will also be defined so as to:

— consolidate forces in the fields in which Europe is the industrial and technological leader,

— overcome weaknesses in critical areas to ensure European competitiveness and to rise to the challenges facing society,

— exploit new opportunities and react to emerging needs, and

— ensure the joint development of technologies and applications so that technological advances can be exploited in new prod-

ucts and services.

Finally, this new work programme will start to pave the way for certain solutions and tools under the seventh framework pro-
gramme, such as technology platforms.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

The objective of the ‘Research Infrastructures’ activity under the ‘Information Society’ policy area is to create a denser network
between related initiatives in support of existing research infrastructures. Within its ‘Communication Network Development’
scheme, this activity promotes further breadth and depth to the collaboration amongst researchers in Europe through the devel-
opment of eInfrastructures for research capitalising on new computing and communication opportunities. In particular, a high-
capacity and high-speed communications network for all researchers in Europe (GÉANT) and specific high-performance grids
and test beds (GRIDS) will be developed. The 2006 work programme fosters the deployment of advanced Grids-empowered
infrastructures to enhance Europe’s position in the area of Grids.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these

DIRECT RESEARCH

Remarks

These comments apply to all the budget headings in the Direct research policy area (with the exception of Chapter 10 05).

The appropriations cover not only expenditure on operations and staff covered by the Staff Regulations, but also other expenditure on staff, con-
tracting, infrastructure, information and publications and any other administrative expenditure arising from research and technological develop-
ment operations, including exploratory research.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Items 6 2 2 4 and 6 2 2 5 of the statement of revenue may give
rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Miscellaneous revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be used in Chapter 10 02, 10 03 or 10 04 or Article 10 01 05,
depending on their purpose.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the
statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical
research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 3 of the statement
of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The additional appropriations will be provided under Articles 10 02 05 and 10 03 04.

The appropriations in this title cover approximately 16 % of the cost of the staff working in the financial and administrative departments of the
Joint Research Centre and of the support which they need.

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Com-
munity. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP (including conservation of fisheries resources, control
and dialogue with fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the
fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).

Sixty percent of appropriations is devoted to the FIFG. However, the FIFG operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of
decentralised management.

The financial contribution resulting from the agreements generally includes a financial contribution whose use is left entirely to
the discretion of the relevant governments and a contribution to measures designed to ensure sustainable management of the
third country’s fishery resources. The amounts for 2006 concerning fisheries agreements in place (commitments:
EUR 62 112 000, payments: EUR 64 612 000) can be broken down roughly as follows: financial contribution (commitments:
EUR 49 477 000, payments: EUR 49 477 000) and targeted/other measures (commitments: EUR 12 635 000, payments:
EUR 15 135 000).

(1) One reason for the volume of pre-2005 commitments that are still outstanding is that certain contracts were signed late in 2004, with the result
that little could be paid against these commitments in 2004. In addition the planned timetable for the creation of the RAC in 2004 was delayed,
and this also delayed the payment schedule for these actions.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to finance the following under the action plan for closer dialogue with the fishing industry and
those affected by the common fisheries policy (CFP) and maritime affairs:
— grants to European trade bodies for the organisation of internal coordination meetings in preparation for meetings of the

Advisory Committee on Fisheries,

— the implementation of measures to provide documentation about and explain the common fisheries policy aimed at the

fishing industry and those affected by the common fisheries policy.

In the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will set up regional advisory councils and con-
tribute to ensuring their operation with a view to improving the involvement of stakeholders in the CFP.
This appropriation is intended to strengthen the participation of people working in fisheries and other interest groups in the
CFP process, providing support for a form of a more decentralised fisheries resource management that takes greater account of
specific regional characteristics.
Part of the appropriation is earmarked also for information activities linked to the common fisheries policy and maritime affairs
as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Particular effort will be devoted to explaining the rules
of the common fisheries policy to the new Member States and to establishing direct contact with the fisheries industry and the
local and regional press.
Any revenue may result in the opening of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis
Council Regulation (EC) No 657/2000 of 27 March 2000 on closer dialogue with the fishing sector and groups affected by the

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this chapter.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 16 December 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in,
and for the dissemination of research results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme
(2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23).

All research activities conducted pursuant to the sixth framework programme will be carried out in compliance with funda-
mental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 3 of Decision 1513/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Coun-
cil (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down
in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular
account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, work-
shops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological
analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community
action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the pro-
grammes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regu-
lations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating
to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, includ-
ing the action and measures necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community’s research and technological devel-
opment strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of sci-
entific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in
Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item
6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with the Financial
Regulation.

The additional appropriations will be provided under Article 11 05 02.

Remarks

The aim is to develop research activities in support of other Community policies, on the one hand, and, on the other, to be able
to launch research activities rapidly as unforeseeable scientific and technological needs appear. They will complement the
research within the priority thematic areas.

Part of this appropriation is intended to provide scientific support for:

— the common agricultural policy (CAP) and the common fisheries policy (CFP),

— sustainable development, in particular the Community’s policy goals for the environment, transport and energy,

— other Community policies, namely health (in particular public health), regional development, trade, development aid, the
internal market and competitiveness, social policy and employment, education and training, culture, equality, consumer
protection, the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice and external relations, including policies to support
enlargement together with the necessary statistical tools and methods,

— the objectives of Community policies arising from the guidelines set by the European Council in the fields of economic

policy, the information society together with eEurope and enterprise.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accor-
dance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or
of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing
the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances,
which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accor-
dance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the abovementioned decisions of the Ber-
lin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully
observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to
the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the
capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover FIFG measures outside Objective 1 areas as regards commitments relating to the pro-
gramming period 2000 to 2006.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity and
to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Remarks

This appropriation covers:

— the Community contribution to expenditure incurred by the Member States in connection with the Community frame-

work for the collection and management of basic fisheries data,

— studies and pilot projects carried out by the Commission, where appropriate in cooperation with the Member States, to
provide methodological support for programmes to collect basic data and the information necessary for the implementa-
tion of the common fisheries policy.

In the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will implement adequate measures in order
to improve scientific advice on fisheries issues.

Part of the appropriation is intended for:

— improving scientific advice on the management of fishery resources, taking account not only of the impact of fishing indus-
try activities but also of other factors (maritime transport, pollution, etc.) which have an impact on fishery resources,

— developing a sound statistical basis which will enable scientific advice to be improved and increased. This will reinforce the
aspects relating to the common fisheries policy, the introduction of multiannual plans and the use of more selective fishing
gear, in order to maintain the balance of fishery resources.

stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

CHAPTER 13 03 — EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AND OTHER REGIONAL INTERVENTIONS (cont’d)

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0
of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of
Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget
of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1) in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of correc-
tions adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European Coun-
cil to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Com-
mission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.

Legal basis

Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 158, 159 and 161 thereof.

(1) An appropriation of EUR 1 887 006 will be transferred or decommitted.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the implementation of the action programme for Community
customs, and in particular the financing of measures for monitoring licence management systems, working parties, pilot projects
or schemes and seminars with officials from Member States’ administrations and from non-member countries associated with
customs policy and representatives of outside bodies, as well as the coordinated development of the use of computerised cus-
toms procedures, taking account of the current state of computerisation of national administrations and the interests of eco-
nomic operators in the European Union, and of developments in the international environment in this area.

This support will take the form of the financing of expenditure on studies, the development, implementation and operation of
common systems and the definition of common guidelines for training and technical assistance for implementation. The oper-
ating expenditure also covers financial contributions to the functioning of systems, in particular decentralised data input; the
financing of information and training measures for system users; the acquisition and maintenance of shared equipment; the
financing of technical assistance.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure incurred by the implementation of the activities, particularly exchanges
of officials and the organisation of joint training courses, provided for in the abovementioned Decisions for Community cus-
toms and indirect-taxation officials responsible for applying Community law in connection with the internal market and at the
external borders of the Community.

These exchanges may also involve certain non-member countries if it is thought that this will be useful for achieving the objec-
tives of the programme.

This appropriation also covers the financing of customs-related analyses and strategic studies, the development of harmonised
working methods and measures to provide Member States with assistance and technical support.

Particular attention needs to be given to programmes for training and exchange of information to improve knowledge and con-
trol of the illegal trade in animal and plant species in the context of implementing the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

This appropriation may also cover the involvement of non-member countries where cooperation with these countries, and par-
ticularly the adoption of common procedures, will facilitate trade and improve fraud prevention, and consequently make for
more efficient administration of the internal market.

ment verification system, e-commerce and the eighth VAT Directive: mainly the common hardware, software and net-
works to be used by all participating countries to ensure the interconnection and interoperability of systems,

— the cost of feasibility studies for the new systems planned in the field of direct taxation,

— the travel and subsistence expenses of officials from participating countries responsible for indirect taxation, taking part in
exchanges, seminars or multilateral controls abroad. Multilateral controls may involve the Member States and the candi-
date countries which have concluded among themselves or with the Member States of the European Union bilateral or mul-
tilateral agreements authorising such controls,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on European integration programmes in universities, such as the Jean Mon-
net chairs, which are designed to consolidate the European Union by encouraging universities, both inside and outside the Union,
to create and develop courses and modules on European integration and to select them in line with the opinions of experts on
the matter, and Jean Monnet centres.

It is also intended to support the ECSA (European Community Studies Associations) network, which was set up to develop
regional, national and transnational information activities on Europe in university circles.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Legal basis

Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a Community action
programme to promote bodies active at European level and support specific activities in the field of education and training
(OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31).

This appropriation is intended for stepping up Community action in the field of education, in particular interventions in the
context of the follow-up to the report on the concrete future objectives of education and training systems and support for bod-
ies active in the field of education.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-

The special access needs of people with disabilities must be taken into account with a view to ensuring that they have full and
equal access to the activities funded by Socrates and the results and evaluation of those activities. The additional costs incurred
by disabled people in ensuring that they have equal access to the programme must be incorporated into the funding for the
activities.

These appropriations may also be used to finance school programmes for the adoption of war graves and monuments from the
First and Second World Wars to keep the memory of these tragic events alive. Such programmes could consist of maintenance
work, educational history projects and exchanges with other schools in the European Union.

The increase in appropriations above the level proposed in the preliminary draft budget will be used to raise the level of the
Erasmus student mobility grant.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended for expenses associated with the objectives pursued in the implementation of the decision estab-
lishing a single framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences, in particular implementing the dissemina-
tion of a European attestation (known as a ‘Europass’) by beneficiaries of these ‘European pathways’.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Legal basis

Decision No 2241/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on a single Community
framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences (Europass) (OJ L 390, 31.12.2004, p. 6).

The special access needs of people with disabilities must be taken into account with a view to ensuring that they have full and
equal access to the activities funded by Leonardo da Vinci and the results and evaluation of those activities. The additional costs
incurred by disabled people in ensuring that they have equal access to the programme must be incorporated into the funding
for the activities.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these

Remarks

This appropriation is intended, together with that entered in Item 15 03 02 02, to cover the Foundation’s operating expendi-
ture regarding its work programme (Title 3).

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

The Foundation must inform the budgetary authority about transfers of appropriations between operating and administrative
expenditure. The Commission, if requested by the Foundation, undertakes to notify the budgetary authority of transfers made
between operating and administrative appropriations.

In recent years the number of agencies has increased significantly (six): the budget for the agencies has absorbed a large pro-
portion of the margin in Heading 3 and there have been significant staff increases.

Under Article 185 of the Financial Regulation and the corresponding articles of the framework regulation for each of the bodies
set up by the Communities, the role of the budgetary authority has been strengthened.

The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows:

Revenue:

— Title 1 ‘European Community subsidy’

— Title 2 ‘Other revenue’

Expenditure:

— Title 1 ‘Staff’

— Title 2 ‘Administrative expenditure’

— Title 3 ‘Operating expenditure’

— Title 10 ‘Surplus carried over from the previous financial year’

Former article 15 07 02

In accordance with Decision No 1031/2000/EC, this appropriation is intended to cover the following:

— support for young people’s transnational mobility,

— support for the use of information and communication technologies in the field of youth,

— support for the development of cooperation networks at European level, permitting a reciprocal exchange of experiences

and good practices,

— support for transnational projects that promote European citizenship and young people’s participation in its development,

— promotion of language skills and understanding of different cultures,

— support for pilot projects based on transnational partnerships designed to encourage innovation and quality in the field of

youth,

— creation at European level of methods for analysing and following up youth policies and their development and methods

for the dissemination of good practices.

The special access needs of people with disabilities must be taken into account with a view to ensuring that they have full and
equal access to the activities funded by Youth and the results and evaluation of those activities. The additional costs incurred by
disabled people in ensuring that they have equal access to the programme must be incorporated into the funding for the
activities.

An amount of EUR 3 000 000 earmarked for projects to promote cross-border regions should be added to the appropriation
corresponding to the budget allocation provided for in the decision establishing the Youth programme, according to the Com-
mission communication of 27 July 2001 on the impact of enlargement on regions bordering candidate countries — Commu-
nity action for border regions (COM(2001) 437 final).

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of in-service traineeships intended for graduates and is designed to provide
them with an overview of the objectives set and the challenges faced by the European Union, an insight into how its institutions
work and an opportunity to enhance their knowledge through a work experience at the Commission.

This appropriation covers the payment of grants and other related costs (supplement for dependent persons or for trainees, per-
sons with disabilities, accident and sickness insurance, etc., the reimbursement of travelling costs arising from the traineeship,
particularly at the start and the close of the traineeship, as well as the costs of organising events stemming from the traineeship
programme, e.g. visits, hosting and reception costs). It also covers the costs of evaluation in order to optimise the programme
of traineeships and communication and information campaigns.

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

(EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund general information work on the European Union, with the aim of providing all Euro-
peans with general information on the work of the Community institutions, on decisions taken and on the different stages of
European integration, a task which falls within the public service remit. The information concerned covers all the Community
institutions.

The Commission has adopted communications to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social
Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information
and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member
States for the development of an information and communication strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council,
lays down common guidelines on topics for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication
policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on these topics. Each year the IGI gives its opin-
ion on the priorities for the following years based on a report produced by the Commission.

With regard to the decentralised measures, the Commission representations and the European Parliament’s external offices must
jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies with the exception
of issues concerning each institution’s specific institutional role.

The production of information for citizens is provided via actions through the media.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 10 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.

It covers the ’Debate on the future of the European Union’ established in the context of the Intergovernmental Conference. The
appropriations are intended first and foremost for informing citizens about, and involving them in, the debate about the future
direction of Europe. This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of
the European Union and the Community institutions and take account of specific national and regional characteristics, in close
cooperation with the Member State authorities and civil society. In this connection the Commission will adopt a White Paper
outlining a new communication and information strategy.

This appropriation is also intended to finance activities by NGOs and independent foundations active on European issues, which
provide a forum for debate and foster further dialogue with, and political choice, for citizens.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council,
lays down common guidelines on topics for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication
policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on these topics. Each year the IGI gives its opin-
ion on the priorities for the following years based on a report produced by the Commission.

Irrespective of the beneficiary, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund general information work on the European Union, with the aim of providing all Euro-
peans with general information on the work of the Community institutions, on decisions taken and on the different stages of
European integration, a task which falls within the public service remit. The information concerned covers all the Community
institutions.

The Commission has adopted communications to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social
Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information
and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member
States for the development of an information and communication strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council,
lays down common guidelines on topics for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication
policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on these topics. Each year the IGI gives its opin-
ion on the priorities for the following years based on a report produced by the Commission.

With regard to the decentralised measures, the Commission representations and the European Parliament’s external offices must
jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies with the exception
of issues concerning each institution’s specific institutional role.

Remarks

Decision No 20/2004/EC establishes a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy as
defined in the multiannual strategy. The decision and the strategy entail three strategic objectives in the medium term:

— a high, harmonised level of consumer protection throughout the EU,

— effective implementation of consumer protection rules,

— involvement of consumer organisations in Community policies.

These three aims are supported by the legal basis mentioned below, applicable for 2004 to 2007.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in
Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with
Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Memoranda of understanding were signed with Romania on 22 October 2004 and with Bulgaria on 29 October 2004. They
will enter into force after ratification at national level.

Legal basis

Decision No 20/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 December 2003 establishing a general framework
for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy for the years 2004 to 2007 (OJ L 5, 9.1.2004, p. 1), as last
amended by Decision No 786/2004/EC (OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 7).

Remarks

The aim of the new programme of Community action in the field of public health (2003 to 2008) is to contribute to attaining
a high level of health protection by directing action towards improving public health, preventing human illness and diseases,
and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities are:

— to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of
effective health interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehen-
sive system for collecting, analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authori-
ties, health professionals and the public, and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and
health-related policies, systems and measures,

— to enhance the ability to respond rapidly and in a coordinated way to threats to health by developing, strengthening and
assisting the operation and interlinking of surveillance, early warning and rapid reaction mechanisms covering health
hazards,

— to address health determinants through health promotion and disease-prevention measures, by supporting and developing
broad health-promotion activities and disease-prevention actions and specific risk-reduction and elimination instruments.

Non-governmental organisations are key players in the implementation of the programme. Therefore, they should be allocated
adequate funds.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the Centre’s personnel and administrative expenditure. The latter mainly covers com-
puter and telematic equipment including installation and software, buildings and infrastructure costs, cost of meetings.
The Centre must inform the budgetary authority about transfers of appropriations between operating and administrative
expenditure.
The Commission, if requested by the Centre, undertakes to notify the budgetary authority of transfers made between operating
and administrative appropriations.
During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is sub-
mitted, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the Centre’s budget, in particular
concerning the establishment plans published in the budget, for which the budgetary authority’s prior agreement is required.
Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on transparency set out in the Interinstitutional Declaration of 17 Novem-
ber 1995 and implemented in the form of a code of conduct agreed by Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.
The Centre’s establishment plan is shown in Part C ‘Staff’ of the general statement of revenue (volume 1).
To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.
The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 16 of the Framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185
of the Financial Regulation constitute assigned revenue (Article 18(1)(f) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0
of the general statement of revenue.

Remarks

The Community’s financial assistance will make it possible to accelerate eradication or control by providing funds to supple-
ment national financial resources and will contribute to harmonising measures at Community level. A major part of these dis-
eases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.) and combating them
helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union; the persistence of these diseases
hampers smooth operation of the internal market.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to measures to eliminate obstacles to the free movement
of goods in these sectors and to veterinary support and back-up measures.

One important measure is providing financial assistance for the work of the Community reference laboratories designated in
Community legislation. The work they do helps improve control over animal diseases and prevent them and reduce the risks as
far as possible.

This appropriation also covers expenditure on the monitoring of compliance with animal-protection provisions during the trans-
port of animals for slaughter.

It is also intended to finance the development of marker vaccines or tests which can distinguish between sick and vaccinated
animals.

Credits of this line can also be used for the establishment and the maintenance of a rapid alert system for the notification of a
direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed

Technical and scientific measures necessary to develop Community veterinary legislation, for example the surveillance of Campy-
lobacter in broilers in Sweden, are also covered by this appropriation.

The appearance of certain animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal
market and on the Community’s commercial relations with third countries. Against that backdrop, the Community should make
a financial contribution towards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease when
Member States deploy Community means to combat epizootic diseases.

— any securities forfeited and in particular those to be credited to the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund in

application of the proposal for a regulation,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Authority’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2).

The Authority must inform the budgetary authority about transfers of appropriations between operating and administrative
expenditure.

The Commission, if requested by the Authority, undertakes to notify the budgetary authority of transfers made between oper-
ating and administrative appropriations.

During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is sub-
mitted, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the budget of the agencies, in par-
ticular concerning the establishment plans published in the budget. Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on
transparency set out in the Interinstitutional Declaration of 17 November 1995 and implemented in the form of a code of con-
duct agreed by Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.

The Authority’s establishment plan is shown in Part C ‘Staff’ of the general statement of revenue (volume 1).

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 16 of the Framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185
of the Financial Regulation constitute assigned revenue (Article 18(1)(f) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0
of the general statement of revenue.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

guage courses and information on the distinctive cultural, political and social characteristics of the country in question,
including citizenship and European fundamental values,

— developing dialogue with civil society,

selected from among the cities which have achieved the most successful practical integration of refugees and asylum seek-
ers, through programmes of education, arts, drama, music and sport and local community initiatives,

— developing integration models,

— setting up networks at European level.

Part of this appropriation may be used to address the root causes of migration.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, for the second year, preparatory measures for:

— the implementation of integrated return actions of illegal residents to their country of origin, or countries of former resi-
dence and transit, as well as measures aimed at ensuring sustainability of these returns (both through efficient information
at pre-departure stage and the provision of reception and reintegration support of returnees, in cooperation with their coun-
try of origin). The plans would include actions aiming at both voluntary and forced return,

— encouraging the development of cooperation between Member States both in the conception of return plans (choice of
categories of persons targeted caseloads of persons according, for example, to the nationality or region of origin), and in
the implementation of actions within these plans (for cooperation in the gathering and provision to potential returnees of
information on the country of origin, organisation of joint voluntary return or removal operations, provision of reception
and first reintegration support in cooperation with the third country concerned, monitoring missions on the situation of
returnees and sustainability of their situation several months/weeks after their return).

— conducting a cost-benefit analysis of the effectiveness of national laws of the Member States and international conventions
on combating all forms of violence against women, young people and children, in particular trafficking in women and
prostitution,

— conducting information campaigns aimed at combating paedophilia, trafficking, sexual exploitation, female genital muti-

lation and forced marriage,

— pilot projects and grants targeted at organisations which, as part of action to protect children and combat paedophilia on
the Internet, are involved in devising and/or adopting measures to prevent material and images that involve child pornog-
raphy or constitute an offence against human dignity from being carried on the Internet,

— projects implemented by voluntary associations which, with a view to combating the tragic practice of killing or abandon-
ing unwanted babies, offer to help mothers in difficulties by providing appropriate means of psychological and financial
support, including by means of appropriate information campaigns.

The appropriations will be distributed equally between projects supporting women, in particular victims of trafficking, female
genital mutilation and forced marriage, and those targeted at children and adolescents, with particular attention being paid to
projects of specific Community interest.

This appropriation is also intended to finance an information campaign aimed at combating child exploitation, with particular
reference to paedophilia, using all the available media, namely radio, television, the press and new technologies.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, for the third year, preparatory actions concerning research and evaluation into respect
for fundamental rights.

It is intended to cover expenditure on setting up a network of legal experts who are authorities on human rights and jurists
from each of the Member States which will provide the European Parliament and the Commission with the requisite expertise
in order to be able to monitor compliance with, and further development of, fundamental rights and ensure application of
Articles 6 and 7 of the Treaty on European Union. This will involve in particular an assessment of the implementation of each
of the rights laid down notably in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, taking account of developments
in national laws, the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the European Court of Human Rights,
the conclusions of treaty monitoring committees concerning implementation of UN conventions by Member States, reports by
other relevant monitoring bodies, such as the Committee against Torture, and any notable case-law of the Member States’
national and constitutional courts.

This appropriation is also intended to fund the development of information tools (databases, helplines, legal aid), in agreement
with relevant institutions in the Member States and NGOs operating in the field of fundamental rights, enabling all persons to
gain access to the information they require.

EUR 250 000 of this appropriation is also intended to fund initiatives involving the Member States’ constitutional courts and
European-level courts with a view to establishing a European centre for the monitoring of constitutional courts’ case-law on
fundamental rights as laid down in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. It is also intended to cover translation of that
case-law into at least English and French.

Remarks

The programme shall support projects in the following areas relating to Title VI of the Treaty on European Union:

— judicial cooperation in general and criminal matters, including training,

— cooperation between law enforcement authorities,

— cooperation between law enforcement authorities or other public or private organisations in the Member States involved

in preventing and fighting crime, organised or otherwise,

— cooperation between Member States to achieve effective protection of the interests of victims in criminal proceedings.

Part of the appropriation is to be set aside to promote the rights of the defence and procedural guarantees and assist persons
involved in criminal proceedings in the framework of transnational judicial cooperation. It is to be used in particular to fund for
each Member State, depending on the law in force, the publication and translation of a ‘letter of rights’ to be handed to persons
to be questioned, either upon arrival at a police station or at the location where questioning is to take place.

Remarks

The transposition of the framework decision on the European arrest warrant by Member States by 1 January 2004 is a sign of
a very high degree of trust in other Member States’ judicial systems. It will also make direct contacts between judges of different
Member States necessary. At the same time the framework decision illustrates the fact that enormous challenges still need to be
overcome. The pace of decision-making at European level has increased in an unprecedented way. This needs now to be fol-
lowed up by increased training efforts to ensure proper implementation. Legal practitioners in the EU need to acquire sufficient
knowledge not only about the different judicial systems in the Member States, but also, in particular, about relevant EU law. In
addition a common understanding within the profession needs to be developed. Most importantly, the overall quality of the
judicial system needs to be improved in order to ensure citizens’ support for the common European judicial area. Permanent
efforts will be needed to ensure that the mutual trust between Member States is maintained. In this context, reference should be
made to the Green Paper on procedural safeguards in criminal proceedings.

These are all not only Member State tasks, but also European-level tasks since judges are now considered also to be judges of
the EU.

The preparatory action should contribute to the efforts already undertaken to improve the quality of the judicial systems in the
EU Member States, notably by means of training for members of the judiciary. These needs are cross-cutting and the pilot project
should address them with no distinction between criminal and civil law cooperation, thus overcoming this artificial separation
between the first and third pillars.

The preparatory action should comprise two main elements: firstly, improved training for members of the judiciary, mainly
through the exchange programme but also through the development of learning and teaching materials, and, secondly, increased
cooperation between all the actors involved (academic lawyers, training institutions and the judiciary), to ensure better mutual
understanding and exchange of best practices.

18 05 01 (cont’d)

18 05 01 03 (cont’d)

As regards the first element, members of the judiciary should have the possibility of participating in a programme comprising
several modules:

I. Exchange programme: the cornerstone of the pilot project should be the setting-up of an exchange programme for members of
the judiciary. It should be a non-bureaucratic and sustainable scheme. In each Member State a contact point should be set up.
It would be up to each Member State to determine its contact point, which should be an institution responsible for the training
of members of the judiciary.

II. eLearning: in order to reach as many persons as possible in the target group, by way of a first step appropriate eLearning mate-
rial should be developed and disseminated widely (for example learning material or courses provided by institutions or bodies
responsible for training of members of the judiciary, including videos of typical court hearings, reports by participants to
exchange programmes with hyperlinks to homepages of the Commission and Parliament websites and to relevant contact points
(e.g. liaison magistrates, Eurojust and national members) and to cooperation tools set up by the European judicial network (such
as a judicial atlas, etc.). Members of the judiciary should be able to consult this material if they need to acquire knowledge about
problems concerning EU law or the current situation in a particular Member State.

III. Regular meeting of officials responsible for training institutions to exchange and discuss:

— the programme and content of initial and further vocational training,

— conditions for the reciprocal opening-up of permanent training sessions to practitioners from all Member States,

— best practices and assessment criteria.

Commission, which will continue to carry out their current functions,

— preparations for an EU Critical Infrastructure Warning Information Network (CIWIN), to be established by the Commis-
sion to assist Member States and owners and operators of critical infrastructure to exchange information on shared threats,
vulnerabilities and appropriate measures and strategies to mitigate risk in support of critical infrastructure protection, par-
ticularly infrastructure whose disruption or destruction has cross-border effects,

— the formation of pilot networks of scientific and technological experts on specific areas of security research and techno-
logical development from both public and private sector institutions with a view notably to fostering the development of
EU policy initiatives and rapid-response advice on security concerns,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.

It covers information in the field of justice and home affairs in relation to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and
justice. This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European
Union and the Community institutions and take account of specific national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation
with the Member State authorities.

The Commission has adopted two communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social
Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information
and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350). These communications pro-
pose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development
of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission,
lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It
coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion
on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an information campaign on the new transparency measures based on
Article 255 of the EC Treaty and Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and of the creation of an interinstitutional server giving on-line
access to the EU law-making process.

It covers information to citizens about their rights of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents spe-
cifically relating to the interinstitutional law-making process. This measure is designed to inform citizens about the principles
and conditions governing access to EU documents and at the same time to give them a single tool to facilitate their access to
documents relating to an interinstitutional legislative procedure and to national implementing measures.

This appropriation is intended to cover a subsidy to the budgets of the various centres, institutes or networks which are acknowl-
edged specialists in the analysis and monitoring of relations between the European Union and other regions for the external
relations policy. This subsidy will enable the existing centres to step up their activities (research, seminars, contacts and publi-
cations) and to incorporate themes marked out by the Commission as particularly relevant and topical in relations between the
European Union and the regions concerned. A more intensive analysis is envisaged of certain relations between the European
Union and the regions concerned, i.e. Asia, Latin America, the Mediterranean, the Balkans and the independent States of the
former Soviet Union.

Remarks

This appropriation follows on from the preparatory action for 2001 to 2003 and the Commission communication on inte-
grating migration issues in the European Union’s relations with third countries (COM(2002) 703), which have paved the way
for a legal basis.

The EU has approved a Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit in
the field of migration and asylum, which will provide a specific, additional response to the needs encountered by these coun-
tries in their efforts to better manage migratory flows, and to help them to improve their capacities to fulfil their international
obligations in the field of asylum and migration, including readmission.

This Community cooperation programme will finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and
regional Community cooperation and development strategies regarding the non-EU countries concerned and complete the
actions — in particular in the fields of migration, asylum, border control, refugees and displaced people — provided for in the
implementation of these strategies and financed from other Community instruments in the field of cooperation and development.

The respect of democratic principles and rule of law, as well as of human and minority rights and of fundamental freedoms, will
constitute an essential element for the application of this Instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed
will be associated with measures aiming to strengthen democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international
instruments in this field, including the Geneva Convention on Refugees.

Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agen-
cies (in particular, UN agencies), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other non-State actors, federal, national, provincial
and local governments of third countries, their departments and agencies, institutes, associations and public and private opera-
tors. As regards cooperation with the authorities of the States involved, all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that the mon-
ies allocated are not used for purposes other than those for which they are intended.

Priority will be given to comprehensive programmes that shall be consistent with the Community efforts which contribute to
addressing the root causes of migration.

In the implementation of the cooperation measures related to the improvement of the institutional, administrative and logisti-
cal capacities of non-EU countries to help them to fulfil their obligations in the areas of asylum, migration, including readmis-
sion, full attention will be given to the way the people (migrants, refugees or readmitted persons) are treated. This will be subject
to strict controls.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover, in addition to the funding allocated to anti-personnel mine schemes under cooperation
programmes with the beneficiary countries concerned, Community contribution to projects against anti-personnel landmines,
in particular schemes relating to implementation of the Ottawa Treaty (Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling,
Production and Transfer of Anti-personnel Mines).

It is also intended to cover actions aimed at the rehabilitation of victims of anti-personnel mines.

It is intended to cover a whole range of actions such as mine clearance, stockpile destruction, mine risk education, survey of
suspected areas and victim assistance.

It also includes financing of activities of non-governmental organisations to raise the issue of the landmine problem with non-
State armed groups which are ‘part of the problem’’ and therefore should also be ‘part of the solution’.

Remarks

The quick-release of financing through the rapid reaction mechanism is designed for situations of crisis or emerging crisis, situ-
ations posing a threat to law and order, the security and safety of individuals, situations threatening to escalate into armed con-
flict or to destabilise the country and where such situations are likely to jeopardise the beneficial effects of assistance and coop-
eration policies and programmes, their effectiveness and/or conditions for their proper implementation.

This appropriation is intended to cover in particular the financing of actions of civilian nature aimed at counteracting or resolv-
ing emerging crisis situations and serious threats or outbreaks of conflict.

Implementing partners may include authorities of the Member States or of beneficiary countries and their agencies, regional
and international organisations and their agencies, NGOs, public and private operators and individual organisations or opera-
tors (including staff seconded from Member State administrations) with appropriate specialised expertise and experience.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a preparatory action to set up a voluntary technical assistance programme for countries
in need. It will provide the structure to send volunteers from the EU Member States to third countries to help with the imple-
mentation of European Union instruments in order to assist to people in third countries. The structure must be able to provide
the European volunteers with the necessary training, make other preparatory arrangements for them and cover the cost of the
volunteers’ operation in a third country plus costs possibly arising after an operation but directly related to it.

It is also intended to finance a feasibility study on the establishment of a European Civil Peace Corps going beyond humanitar-
ian aid in stricto sensu.

The preparatory action is intended to fund preparatory work by the Commission to develop the best way to create such a struc-
ture, possibly in cooperation with third parties engaged in the humanitarian and development aid sector, to set up all elements
of the chosen structure on a small scale, and to recruit and deploy initial volunteers in a pilot scheme.

Legal basis

the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 18.6.1999,

Remarks

Conflict prevention and crisis management activities, by their nature, require a possibility to react to relatively unforeseeable
external developments. A ‘crisis situation’ means a situation in a country outside the European Union which poses a threat to
law and order and the safety of individuals, which threatens to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country or coun-
tries and which might seriously jeopardise the common values, fundamental interests, independence and integrity of the Union,
its security, the preservation of peace and international security, the promotion of international cooperation or the develop-
ment and consolidation of democracy and the rule of law, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms as defined in
Article 11 of the Treaty on European Union. Action financed under this heading by the common foreign and security policy
(CFSP) budget must be of a civilian nature, have a limited duration and keep within the budget allocated.

In view of the diversity and scale of these activities, a substantial capacity to respond to situations of imminent conflict or crisis
is required in the CFSP framework — notably in the area of Petersberg tasks, without military implications, or in the defence
field — which justifies keeping the article at a high level.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance measures which contribute to the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
(nuclear, chemical and biological). Since the adoption of the EU strategy against the proliferation of WMD in December 2003,
joint actions can be identified more quickly. Under item 19 01 04 14, a maximum of two experts are intended to be financed
to help the Commission to implement projects under this budget line.

It is also intended to finance operations to combat the destabilising accumulation and trafficking of small arms and light weap-
ons, provided that they are not already covered by the provisions of the Cotonou Agreement concerning similar action in the
ACP States. New actions are foreseen in new geographic areas, in particular in eastern Europe.

This appropriation is intended to cover conflict resolution activities undertaken or supported by the European Union. ESDP (civil
component) crisis management operations, in particular in the fields of police and rule of law, fall under this article. These
actions are generally involving considerable running costs and logistical needs. In 2006, follow-up and new joint actions are
foreseen in the Middle East, Iraq and Africa. New possible projects in the area of counterterrorism could be launched.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover grant aid to projects undertaken in non-member countries and in the European Union
with the following objectives:

(a) the promotion and defence of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including:

disadvantage,

— support for minorities, ethnic groups and indigenous peoples to enable them to secure better their fundamental rights,

including support for their joint efforts for recognition of their rights at international level,

— support and assessment of needs for the fight against torture and impunity; EUR 8 500 000 of this appropriation is
intended to support rehabilitation centres for torture victims, which must remain an overriding priority, and for organi-
sations offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses; support for organisations that help to improve the rights
of people who are deprived of their liberty, in order to prevent torture or ill-treatment; support for torture-prevention
measures,

— support for education, training and consciousness-raising in the area of human rights and support for human rights defend-

ers and the rights of forcibly displaced persons,

— the promotion of equality of opportunity and non-discriminatory practices,

including measures to combat racism

and xenophobia,

— support for projects combating all types of violence against women (such as stoning, public castigation, genital mutilation,
burning and rape), in particular by backing European Union or local NGO initiatives for the ratification, entry into force
and implementation of the Maputo Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, on the Rights of Women
in Africa, adopted by the African Union on 11 July 2003,

— support for projects promoting intercultural and interreligious dialogue.

This appropriation is also intended to investigate the possibility of setting up a radio network ultimately capable of constituting
a ‘Voice of Europe’, so as to produce daily information programmes for broadcast to all countries with totalitarian or authori-
tarian regimes. The network’s programmes must be geared to the human rights and minorities situation, and to the Union’s
activities in those areas, and broadcast in the local language(s) concerned.

This appropriation is also intended to fund radio and television programme production and cross-border broadcasting to
Belarus, from EU Member States, and to support the work of the European Humanities University in exile and its students.

(b) support for the democratisation process, strengthening of the rule of law and good governance, including:

— the promotion and strengthening of the rule of law, in particular support for the independence of the judiciary in order to

strengthen it, and support for a humane police and prison system,

— support for actions related to the promotion of good governance, including the development of indicators to monitor good

governance,

— support for constitutional and legislative reform in favour of the abolition of the death penalty,

— the promotion of pluralism both at political level and at the level of civil society by strengthening the institutions needed
to maintain the pluralist nature of that society, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and by promoting inde-
pendent and responsible media, with funding for specific radio stations or broadcasts, and supporting a free press and
respect for the rights of freedom of association and assembly,

— support for capacity-building for parliamentary institutions and members, in particular for the development of the legis-
lative, budgetary and control powers of the Pan-African Parliament and the newly elected democratic Parliaments of Indo-
nesia, Afghanistan, Iraq and other new democratic countries, inter alia, by exchange programmes with the European
Parliament,

— support for the African Leadership Council,

— support for electoral processes, in particular by supporting independent electoral commissions, granting material, techni-
cal and legal assistance in preparing for elections, including electoral censuses, taking measures to promote the participa-

CHAPTER 19 04 — EUROPEAN INITIATIVE FOR DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS (EIDHR)

(cont’d)

19 04 03 (cont’d)

Part of this appropriation may be allocated, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, to providing support
for the activities of organisations which are working to develop and strengthen democratisation processes and the promotion
and defence of human rights, and in particular to promote freedom of assembly and political pluralism in territories in which
repression is a particular threat and in places where jail sentences are imposed for such activities, without any judicial guaran-
tees. Special attention should be given to this kind of situation in isolated states and to organisations and projects supported by
the European Parliament.

(c) support for measures promoting respect for human rights and democratisation by preventing conflicts, in particular:

— support for measures facilitating the peaceful conciliation of group interests, including support for confidence-building

measures relating to human rights and democratisation, in order to prevent conflict and to restore civil peace,

— support for inter-ethnic and cross-national joint programmes with the purpose of building a strong basis for mutual under-
standing and peaceful coexistence between the parties in conflict, including for parliamentarians and other elected officials,

— support for international, regional or local organisations, including NGOs, involved in preventing, resolving and dealing

with the consequences of conflict, together with support and assistance for victims of human rights violations;

(d) support for efforts to foster the establishment of groupings of democratic countries within United Nations bodies, special-
ised agencies and regional organisations:

— support for efforts to increase the number of countries belonging to the Community of Democracies,

— support for the efforts of NGOs working towards those objectives by mobilising civil society to consolidate democracy, the

rule of law and human rights.

As regards geographical and thematic coverage, countries, regions and themes will be selected to maximise the added value of
financing for the European initiative for democracy and human rights (EIDHR), with in particular certain target countries being
chosen and special focus on the Arab region and the Middle Eastern countries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover civil society follow-up to relevant provisions of the final declaration of the Sana’a
InterGovernmental Regional Conference on Democracy, Human Rights and the Role of the International Criminal Court held
in January 2004 with the support of the European Union.

Part of this appropriation is intended to provide support for rehabilitation centres for torture victims, which must remain an
overriding priority, for organisations offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses and organisations that help
to improve the rights of people who are deprived of their liberty, in order to prevent torture or ill-treatment, and for torture-
prevention measures.

Part of this appropriation, with due regard to the provisions of the Financial Regulation, is intended to be used to support active
involvement of Iraqi women in the process of peace-building and peacekeeping in their country, in particular to involve them
in all areas and at all levels of decision-making.

As regards the type of initiative, special attention will be paid to projects which are innovative, have a regional dimension or
allow a synergy with other Community instruments and to the bilateral programmes of European Union Member States.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for conflict prevention and crisis management through leadership education for, and
reconciliatory network-building by, young local female and male leaders of different cultures, ethnicity or religion whose com-
munities experience conflict, tension and segregation.

This appropriation is also intended to finance:

— the examination of the extent to which the needs of disabled people of all ages are addressed in EU development coopera-

tion measures in the fields of education, health, employment and poverty reduction,

— the undertaking of actions in this field based on the approaches set out by the Commission guidance note on disability and
development cooperation targeted on Commission delegations regarding how best to incorporate the needs of persons with
disabilities in the design and implementation of EU development cooperation programmes and projects,

— awareness-raising across the mainstream of EU development cooperation activities of the issues relating to fundamental

human rights of disabled people in developing countries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the promotion of actions of non-governmental organisations to co-finance activi-
ties, including the promotion and protection of the fundamental rights of children in keeping with the UN Convention on the
Rights of the Child. It is also intended to fund measures to mainstream human rights and democratisation into all development
cooperation policies.

In this context, this appropriation is also intended to promote the rights of the child in EU development policy and specifically
to promote dialogue and cooperation between the EU and Member States to follow up and implement ‘A World Fit for Chil-
dren’, the outcome document agreed at the United Nations Special Session on Children in May 2002.

It is also intended to enable the use of external staff providing support to electoral observation missions, including the financing
of the chief observer contract with the Commission as special adviser under Articles 5 and 82 of the Conditions of employment
of other servants of the European Communities, in the Staff Regulations.

In connection with the election observation missions financed under this article the Commission, in close dialogue and col-
laboration with the host government, civil society and other relevant parties, should make serious efforts to ensure that the rec-
ommendations by election observation missions are fully implemented and that the necessary resources are made available for
that purpose.

Remarks

Japan

The planned activities are intended to improve market access of EU goods and cross-border services to Japan through:

— measures aimed at improving knowledge of the Japanese market; the executive training programme (ETP), designed to build

up a pool of European executives able to communicate and operate in Japan’s business environment, will be continued,

— measures aimed at improving the commercial presence of EU industry in Japan; the ‘Gateway to Japan’ campaign,

— other measures facilitating access to the Japanese market.

Greater focus will be given to EU-Japan cooperation activities. Continuing efforts will have to be made in view of converting the
EU-Japan action plan adopted at the summit of December 2001 into concrete action (e.g. conferences, seminars, development
of Europe centres in Japan, etc.). An enhanced and better structured dialogue with Japan will be developed, along the lines of the
objectives set out in the action plan in the four cooperation priority areas.

Any revenue from financial participation by outside parties in promotional activities, notably the ETP programme, may lead to
additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

United States of America

The planned activities will contribute to implement the new transatlantic agenda (NTA), which was signed in December 1995
and provides the framework under which the EU conducts its relations with the United States of America. The NTA is comple-
mented by a joint action plan under which the EU and the United States of America jointly committed themselves to the achieve-
ment of a wide range of objectives not only concerning bilateral relations, but also cooperative actions towards non–member
countries, in multilateral forums and on global challenges. The Commission intends to continue its support to the transatlantic
dialogues between non-government actors and to step up its support to EU Centers in the US by adopting a multi-annual pro-
gramme as recommended in the EU Centers evaluation carried out in 2003 to 2004.

The Commission also plans to develop targeted communication and information activities to pursue the objectives of the NTA.

Canada

The wide agenda of EU-Canada cooperation is reflected in the diversity of the planned activities, which fit into the overall pro-
gramme for cooperation set up by the joint political declaration on EU-Canada relations and the joint EU-Canada action plan.
The Commission will pursue the activities intended to enhance cooperation and to develop economic relations. Efforts to raise
awareness of the benefits of EU-Canada relations will be continued, through targeted communication and information initia-
tives and education projects.

South Korea

The focus will be on enhancing knowledge of Korean language and business culture through the executive training programme
for Korea which has been established on a recurrent basis. Other cooperation activities which might usefully accompany the
implementation of the Framework Agreement and the study on industrial cooperation and contribute to achieving its objec-
tives will also be considered, provided that funding can be made available.

Australia and New Zealand

The Commission will consider activities in line with the objectives laid down in particular by the Joint Declaration of June 1997,
revised in 2003. As regards New Zealand, possible projects envisaged will be intended to reinforce cooperation in areas referred
to in the Joint Declaration of May 1999, revised in 2004, in order to meet the common objectives on economic cooperation,
political and security cooperation and various other areas of cooperation.

The focus will be on initiatives aimed at (i) reinforcing people-to-people links and education cooperation between the EU and
AUS/NZ; (ii) at fostering a better understanding of the EU, its initiatives, its policies in AUS/NZ in particular through curriculum
development, research and outreach activities and public diplomacy initiatives; (iii) other activities in pursuit of the objectives
set out in the joint political declarations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing or part-financing of assistance measures at government, institutional, NGO
and private sector level designed to support transition to a market economy and strengthen democracy and the rule of law in
the partner States.

The above measures cover, inter alia, support for institutional, legal and administrative reform, support to the private sector and
assistance for economic development, support in addressing the social consequences of transition, the development of infra-
structure networks, the promotion of environmental protection and management of natural resources and development of the
rural economy.

Part of this appropriation should be used for the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Appropriations intended for Russia should also be used for renewed efforts by all parties involved in the conflict in Chechnya
to find a democratic and peaceful solution.

The appropriations under this heading are also intended for the countries of the South Caucasus.

In the provision of funding to partner countries, due account will be taken of their social and financial situation and other rel-
evant factors in comparison with the least-developed Member States in the enlarged EU. With the exception of humanitarian
aid, assistance to governments willl be provided on condition that the beneficiary country has an improving record as regards
the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Programmes supporting these
aims will have priority in funding.

In implementing the appropriations, the Commission will seek to stimulate the consultancy market in the partner countries by
encouraging the involvement of local consultants.

The Commission shall submit each year a report on the implementation of the EU’s external assistance covering this programme.

CHAPTER 19 08 — RELATIONS WITH THE MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTHERN MEDITERRANEAN (cont’d)

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium devel-
opment goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to
halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allo-
cated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector con-
ditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social
sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will
be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and edu-
cation ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Com-
munity’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giv-
ing full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

— present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the 35 % target for social

infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs;

— assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coher-
ence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights,
conflict prevention and the environment;

— present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achiev-

ing their objectives;

— summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

— provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend
on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds
in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the
report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the
results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

The cooperation agreements with the countries of the Middle East and the southern Mediterranean lay down a human rights
clause, failure to comply with which means that the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupu-
lous in making sure that that clause is complied with by beneficiaries when any project is funded.

— of support for economic transition (by backing the processes of modernisation and economic reconstruction of the Medi-
terranean non-member countries, including support for microbusinesses and small- and medium-sized enterprises, with a
view to the gradual creation of a free trade area and by promoting direct investment in the region (risk capital),

— of achievement of a better socioeconomic balance (inter alia, by dealing with the social impact of the macroeconomic
reforms and the restructuring of economic sectors by contributing to the improvement of social services, in particular
through poverty alleviation programmes, balanced and integrated rural development, the improvement of health and wel-
fare systems, education systems and employment systems, including the upgrading of vocational training policies and struc-
tures, the promotion of cultural exchanges, the strengthening of democracy and human rights, promotion of independent
press and media, protection of the environment, promoting civil society participation and promoting women’s active par-
ticipation in economic and social life),

— of support for regional integration and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation, including the environment field
(regional projects, decentralised cooperation programmes, cross-border cooperation with the Mediterranean regions of the
European Union), as well as to support the Middle East peace process,

A significant percentage of this appropriation is to be used for the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law,
to include funding participation by members of the parliaments of the Mediterranean non-member countries and territories in
the activities of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly and the costs incurred by these countries when organising such
activities on their own territory.

This appropriation is also intended to cover civil society follow-up to relevant provisions of the final declaration of the Sana’a
Intergovernmental Regional Conference on Democracy, Human Rights and the Role of the International Criminal Court held in
January 2004 with the support of the European Union.

This appropriation covers, in particular, the protection and promotion of children’s rights and the integration of children’s rights
into programming, including in country strategy papers (CSPs), national indicative programmes (NIPs) and mid-term reviews.

It is also intended to cover studies and analyses to improve knowledge of socioeconomic trends, particularly sectoral trends, in
the beneficiary countries and in the MEDA region as a whole, preparatory operations and pilot projects on information and
training, inter alia, in the fields of gender equality, the campaign against child discrimination, protection of the environment,
drugs and AIDS control and population issues.

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 coun-
tries (resolution of the European Parliament of 19 September 1996).

This appropriation also covers pilot schemes in the social development field, notably to promote the participation of civil soci-
ety and its actors in the design and implementation of participative socioeconomic development programmes at local level.

A significant part of the support provided by this appropriation to local and regional business development is intended for trans-
ferring management skills and creating a positive financial environment that will enable small- and medium-sized enterprises to
realise their full employment and growth potential.

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 assessment report.

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.

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 Euro-
pean Union’s action in the Mediterranean non-member countries.

Part of this appropriation may be allocated to cultural associations which promote enhanced cooperation between southern and
northern Mediterranean and Middle East countries through the creation of joint bodies in which the cultures of different Medi-
terranean countries are represented.

Part of the appropriation may be earmarked for cofinancing the initiative that northern Mediterranean regions are implement-
ing, with the introduction of the special development plan that was presented at the Barcelona Summit in November 2005. The
plan should be of a special nature and should be additional to the New Neighbourhood Policy measures and based mainly on
direct consultation of local players.

In the provision of funding to partner countries due account will be taken of their social and financial situation and other rel-
evant factors in comparison with the least-developed Member States in the enlarged EU. With the exception of humanitarian
aid, assistance to governments will be provided on condition that the beneficiary country has an improving record as regards
the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Programmes supporting these
aims will have priority in funding.

It is also intended to provide support for a Mediterranean-Black Sea partnership to study the impact of tourism and urbanisa-
tion on marine pollution and for action to protect coastlines.

This appropriation is also intended to promote in the Euro-Mediterranean region, as part of the Euro-Mediterranean Partner-
ship, a human rights network of NGOs in the Maghreb and Mashreq countries and Israel. The network’s primary objectives will
be to promote:

— the human rights mechanisms within the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership,

— human rights education,

— freedom of expression and association,

— women’s rights,

— economic and social rights,

— an independent and properly functioning judicial system.

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 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.

All the actions should include gender mainstreaming. Part of this appropriation is intended to be used for projects to improve
the situation of women and to achieve a better balance between men and women, in particular by promoting women’s active
participation in economic and political decision-making, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations
carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Net-
work), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

This appropriation is intended to cover operations financed under the Community support programme for the Occupied Ter-
ritories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (1994 to 1998, 1999 to 2003 and 2004 to 2006), 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 are 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 coopera-
tion between Israel and its neighbours, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and
energy.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover Community operations in the framework of the Iraqi reconstruction process. It may be
supplemented by expenditure committed under other chapters and articles, notably Chapter 23 02 (Humanitarian aid),
Chapter 21 02 (Development cooperation policy and sectoral strategies), Chapter 19 04 (European initiative for democracy and
human rights (EIDHR)) and Article 19 02 05 (Rapid reaction mechanism).
The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full
implementation of the framework agreed at the Madrid Conference, the Communication from the Commission to the Council
and the European Parliament ‘The European Union and Iraq — A Framework for Engagement’ of 6 June 2004 (COM(2004)
417) and Parliament’s resolution of 6 July 2005 on that communication (OJ C …), in particular paragraphs 33 and 34 thereof.
The Commission will ensure that the Community contribution is delivered in the most effective manner while taking due
account of the views of the European Parliament. In this regard, 2006 funding will only be channelled through the World Bank
arm of the IRFFI where this mechanism has a clear advantage over alternative intermediaries (European or other). The Com-
mission will furthermore provide complete, regular and transparent information on the actual disbursement and implementa-
tion of EU assistance.
This appropriation also covers actions by women’s rights organisations in Iraq and activities to improve the position of women
in the economic, political and social life of the country and to support their active involvement in all fields and at all levels of
decision-making.

COMMISSION
TITLE 19 — EXTERNAL RELATIONS

CHAPTER 19 09 — RELATIONS WITH LATIN AMERICA (cont’d)

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium devel-
opment goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to
halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allo-
cated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector con-
ditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social
sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will
be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and edu-
cation ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Com-
munity’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giv-
ing full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

— present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the 35 % target for social

infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs;

— assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coher-
ence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights,
conflict prevention and the environment;

— present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achiev-

ing their objectives;

— summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region; and

— provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend
on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds
in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the
report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the
results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

The cooperation agreements with the Latin American developing countries all incorporate a human rights clause: failure to com-
ply with the provisions of this clause means that the agreements will be suspended.

The appropriations also covers the protection and promotion of human rights, including children’s rights, which are fully inte-
grated into programming, including in the country strategy papers (CSPs), national indicative programmes (NIPs) and mid-term
reviews.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Latin American developing countries, particularly the poorest
of them, aimed mainly at the most disadvantaged sections of the population, in order to:

— assist institutional support and help consolidate democracy, human rights and the rule of law,

— combat poverty and social exclusion, with particular attention being paid to the poverty trap faced by disabled people,

— support integrated approaches (linking economic progress to social development and environmental and consumer

protection),

— support regional integration,

— improve the standard of education, health and transport infrastructures,

— promote the increased use of information and communications technologies.

Emphasis is placed on operations influencing the judicial structure and cooperation with the European Union in that connec-
tion, economic organisation and institutional development, operations concerning the environment, the education of women
and children, addressing the situation of street children, promotion of consumer policy, democratisation, regional cooperation,
disaster prevention, reconstruction measures and the promotion of the peace process in Colombia and the democratisation pro-
cess in Cuba.

This appropriation is also intended to consolidate the important political signals given at EU-Latin America Summits and to
provide the necessary regulatory backing for the bi-regional strategic partnership process and association agreements with the
countries and regions of Latin America.

Investments on lands traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples or by other local communities, and other projects signifi-
cantly affecting their livelihood or social organisation, shall not be carried out without, as far as possible, their prior consulta-
tion and informed consent.

This appropriation is also intended to cover:

— operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or increase awareness of European Union coop-

eration with Latin American developing countries,

— information and training-related activities in areas such as sexual equality, preventing discrimination against disabled people

and protecting the environment and tropical forests,

— support for the activities of non-governmental organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups such
as women, children, ethnic minorities and disabled people. This covers actions aimed at helping women and women’s
organisations to reduce gender inequalities in society and to combat discrimination against women in society,

— 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 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 on 3 to 14 June 1992, including renewable energy projects to facilitate the transfer of EU renewable
and zero-emissions energy and related technologies,

— the fight against corruption, drug trafficking and money laundering in the context of the related cooperation programmes.

A priority for this article will be to prevent and combat severe violence against women and lack of action against such violence
will constitute a reason to suspend EU assistance.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on compliance with the terms of the democracy clause in the cooperation
agreements.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations
carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Net-
work), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

In the provision of funding to partner countries due account will be taken of their social and financial situation and other rel-
evant factors in comparison with the least-developed Member States in the enlarged EU. With the exception of humanitarian
aid, assistance to governments will be provided on condition that the beneficiary country has an improving record as regards
the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Programmes supporting these
aims will have priority in funding.

This appropriation is also intended to help strengthen political and institutional relations with the various regional bodies
throughout Latin America. The aim is to establish and subequently consolidate an official and ordered framework for meetings,
discussions and decision-making at all institutional and political levels, with a view to analysing the political, economic, social
and cultural issues affecting the international community. The appropriation is also intended to provide priority support for all
initiatives capable of deepening cooperation and association arrangements between the countries of Latin America and the EU.

In the provision of funding to partner countries due account will be taken of their social and financial situation and other rel-
evant factors in comparison with the least-developed Member States in the enlarged EU. With the exception of humanitarian
aid, assistance to governments will be provided on condition that the beneficiary country has an improving record as regards
the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Programmes supporting these
aims will have priority in funding.

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures to initiate the return to a normal life of people in developing countries in the
aftermath of critical situations arising out of natural disasters, violent conflicts or other crises.

Operations covered will include:

— the re-launch of production on a lasting basis,

— the physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance,

— social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised troops,

— the restoration of the institutional capacities needed in the rehabilitation period, especially at local level,

— assisting with the needs of children, particularly rehabilitation of children affected by war, including child soldiers,

— supporting disabled people and disabled people’s organisations to ensure that their particular needs are met in the context

of rehabilitation operations,

— ensuring that the needs of women, children and older people are taken into account during disaster relief and reconstruc-

tion operations,

— raising awareness of the dangers posed by natural disasters and of measures designed to avoid them or to avoid or reduce

their consequences.

In particular, operations may cover programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations
and other civil society players who are encouraged to participate and, in turn, promote the participation of the beneficiary popu-
lation at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.

CHAPTER 19 10 — RELATIONS WITH ASIA (cont’d)

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium devel-
opment goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to
halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allo-
cated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector con-
ditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social
sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will
be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and edu-
cation ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Com-
munity’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giv-
ing full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

— present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the 35 % target for social

infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs;

— assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coher-
ence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights,
conflict prevention and the environment;

— present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achiev-

ing their objectives;

— summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

— provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend
on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds
in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the
report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the
results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

The cooperation agreements with the Asian developing countries incorporate a human rights clause: failure to comply with the
provisions of this clause means that the agreements will be suspended.

The appropriations also covers the protection and promotion of human rights, including children’s rights, which are fully inte-
grated into programming, including in the country strategy papers (CSPs), national indicative programmes (NIPs) and mid-term
reviews.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them,
aimed at tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation
and institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, including operations concerning democratisation, universal
access for children of both sexes and women to primary and secondary education, the environment, tropical forests, anti-drugs
campaigns, regional cooperation, disaster prevention and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable
energy and information and communications technology.

It is also intended to cover information and training-related activities in areas such as fighting discrimination against women
and disabled people, and exploitation of children of both sexes, promoting consumer protection policy, campaigns against drugs
and AIDS and population issues assisted by greater use of information and communications technology.

The Commission produces an annual report covering all its external aid activities.

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 (micro, small and medium) loans and credits granted through the banking system that support,
in particular, initiatives to promote employment for women and disabled people.

It is also intended to cover support for the development of civil society and, in particular, support for the activities of non-
governmental organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, ethnic minori-
ties and disabled people.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on observance of the principles underpinning European Union action.

Lack of action to prevent and combat severe violence against women (stoning, public castigation, genital mutilation, burning
or rape) will constitute a reason to suspend EU assistance.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended, with a view to the mutual interest of the European Union and its partners, to cover various kinds
of operation involving technical assistance, training, technology transfer and institutional back-up in the fields of trade promo-
tion, energy (notably renewable energy), environment, management, etc., in order to:

— improve the economic, social, cultural, legal and regulatory context and facilitate economic relations and trade between

the European Union and Asia,

— foster regional integration,

— support capacity-building, in particular in the least developed countries, to help them to better integrate into the multilat-

eral trading system, including their abilities to participate in the WTO,

— encourage the transfer of know-how and promote contact and collaboration between business players on both sides,

— promote a more favourable climate for economic expansion and hence development in the countries concerned,

— promote the increased use of information and communications technologies.

In the provision of funding to partner countries due account will be taken of their social and financial situation and other rel-
evant factors in comparison with the least-developed Member States in the enlarged EU. With the exception of humanitarian
aid, assistance to governments will be provided on condition that the beneficiary country has an improving record as regards
the values of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms. Programmes supporting these
aims shall have priority in funding.

This appropriation will also finance schemes to promote environmentally and socially sound business practice, including the
transfer of technical knowledge on best practice in clean technologies and economic incentives, and also to facilitate the trans-
fer of EU renewable and zero-emissions energy as well as related technologies.

It is also intended to finance monitoring of the impact of regional integration by non-governmental organisations, recognised
political foundations and economic and social groups such as associations representing employers, small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), agriculture and consumers, and by environmental organisations, trade unions and organisations similar to
trade unions.

Remarks

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

This appropriation is also intended to cater for the needs of Tibetan refugees, and to promote their integration in their host coun-
tries, in particular in India, Nepal and Bhutan, to maintain their settlements in a sustainable way, with the aim of improving
living conditions, particularly housing and health facilities, preserving their culture, traditions and language and promoting edu-
cation and vocational training.

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

It also covers education for children affected by war or natural disasters.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures to initiate the return to a normal life of people in developing countries in the
aftermath of critical situations arising out of natural disasters, violent conflicts or other crises. In particular, it will cover the post
Tsunami reconstruction aid.

Operations covered will include:

— the relaunch of production on a lasting basis,

— the physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance,

— social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised troops,

— the restoration of the institutional capacities needed in the rehabilitation period, especially at local level,

— assisting with the needs of children, particularly rehabilitation of children affected by war, including child soldiers,

— supporting disabled people and disabled people’s organisations to ensure that their particular needs are met in the context

of rehabilitation operations,

— ensuring that the needs of women, children and older people are taken into account during disaster relief and reconstruc-

tion operations,

— raising awareness of the dangers posed by natural disasters and of measures designed to avoid them or to avoid or reduce

their consequences.

In particular, operations may cover programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations
and other civil society players who are encouraged to participate and, in turn, promote the participation of the beneficiary popu-
lation at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.

Part of the appropriations will be used for Quick Win actions proposed under the UN Millennium Project with a view to achiev-
ing the Millennium Development Goals in Tsunami-affected countries.

Remarks

The information activities to be carried out under this budget line fall into two broad categories: horizontal activities and logis-
tical support from headquarters, and activities carried out in non-member countries by Commission delegations.

Measures carried out from headquarters::

— the European Union visitors programme (EUVP), carried out jointly by the European Parliament and the Commission, pro-
vides some 170 participants a year, chosen by the delegations, with the opportunity of experiencing contact with the Euro-
pean Union by visiting the European Parliament and the Commission as part of a made-to-measure individual programme
of visits based on a theme,

— the production and distribution of publications on priority themes as part of an annual programme,

— the production and dissemination of audiovisual material,

— the development of information delivered via electronic media (the Internet and electronic message systems),

— the organisation of visits for groups of journalists,

— the bulk purchase of promotional material to be made available to delegations,

— the support for the information activities of opinion leaders that are consistent with the European Union’s priorities.

Decentralised measures carried out by delegations in non-member countries

In accordance with the communication goals laid down for each region and each country, the delegations propose an annual
communication plan, which, once approved by headquarters, is assigned a budgetary allocation.

These measures fall into six categories:

— newsletters,

— websites,

— relations with the media (press conferences, seminars, radio programmes, etc.),

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities directed towards the
citizens of the EU and dealing with the EU’s external policies as a whole.

The areas which will be covered by information activities include those below, but may embrace other aspects of the EU’s exter-
nal relations, particularly in relation to the future of the EU’s external policy.:

— Address a weak public perception of external assistance. The objective is to make clear that external assistance is an inte-

gral part of what the EU does and is one of the crucial policies that define the EU and its role in the world.

— The ‘European Neighbourhood Policy’ (ENP). The (ENP) was launched on the basis of a communication from the Commis-
sion to the Council and the European Parliament on 11 March 2003 [COM(2003) 104 final], ‘Wider Europe — Neighbour-
hood: A New Framework for Relations with our Eastern and Southern Neighbours’. The actions which are part of this activity will
continue to provide information on the activities of the European Union in the framework of its ‘European Neighbour-
hood Policy’.

— Information activities, to be carried out in cooperation with the Council, on the aims and development of the common

foreign and security policy.

The Commission has adopted two communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Com-
mittee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and com-
munication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350). They propose an interinstitutional
framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of a communication
and information policy strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission,
lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It
coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion
on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

Irrespective of the beneficiary of the measure, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

TRADE

Overall objectives

This domain aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to inter-
national trade and the reduction of customs barriers.

An important pillar of the European Union’s economic relations with the rest of the world, it contributes to the Union’s broader goals of pro-
moting sustainable development and assuming a larger role in multilateral governance. It covers all the main aspects of trade in goods and ser-
vices (tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade protection measures, in particular in cases of dumping and subsidies, export credits) and the important
issues of intellectual property, investment and competition.

This policy area comprises two operational activities: trade policy and anti-dumping strategy.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support the following actions.

Initiatives connected with conduct of new multi- and bilateral trade negotiations (in particular, the Doha Development Agenda)

Actions aiming to ensure that EU policy conception is based on comprehensive and up-to-date expert information, and is sup-
ported by a programme of information and coalition-building, so as to strengthen the Commission’s negotiating position in
Doha Development Agenda negotiations and build coalitions for their successful completion, including:

— expert studies and seminars in connection with the preparation of policy and negotiating positions,

— trade sustainability impact assessments, designed to assess the impact of trade negotiations on sustainable development,
and, where necessary, propose flanking measures to combat any negative outcomes for specific countries or sectors,

— development and implementation of a consistent and comprehensive communication and information strategy, promot-
ing the Community’s trade policy and raising awareness on the detail and objectives of Community trade policy, both
within and outside the EU.

Legal and other expert assistance required in implementation of existing trade agreements

Actions to ensure that the Community’s trading partners effectively adhere to and comply with obligations arising under the
World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other multilateral and bilateral agreements, including:

— expert studies, including inspection visits, as well as specific investigations, and seminars on implementation by third coun-

tries of their obligations under international trade agreements,

— legal expertise, especially on questions of foreign law, required to facilitate defence by the Community of its position in

WTO dispute-settlement cases,

— other expert studies necessary for the preparation, management and follow-up to WTO dispute settlement cases.

Trade-related technical assistance/training and other capacity-building actions

Actions aiming to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate in international trade negotiations, to imple-
ment international trade agreements and to participate in the world trading system, including:

— projects involving training and capacity-building actions aimed at developing country officials and operators, mainly in the

field of Sanitary and Phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures,

— the establishment and running of a help desk to provide to developing countries industry information on access to EU mar-
kets, to facilitate efforts by such industry to take advantage of market access opportunities offered by the international trad-
ing system,

— trade-related technical assistance programmes arranged in the forum of the WTO and other multilateral organisations, in

particular WTO Trust Funds,

— reimbursement of the expenses of participants in forums and conferences designed to build awareness and expertise in trade

affairs among developing country nationals,

— expenditure incurred by Member State experts advising developing country officials and operators on compliance with SPS

and other trade related measures.

Activities related to the Community’s market access strategy

Actions in support of the Community’s market access strategy, which aims at removing or lowering barriers to trade, identify-
ing trade restrictions in third countries and, where appropriate, removing obstacles to trade. These actions may include:

— provision of a market access database, available to economic operators via the Internet, listing trade barriers and other basic
information affecting EU exports and EU exporters; purchase of the necessary information, data and documentation for
this database,

— specific analysis of the various obstacles to trade in key markets, including analysis of the implementation by third coun-
tries of their obligations under international trade agreements in connection with the preparation of negotiations,

— conferences, seminars and other information activities (e.g. production and distribution of studies, information packs, pub-

lications and leaflets) to inform business about trade barriers and trade policy instruments,

— support to European industry for the organisation of activities specifically geared to market access issues.

Activities with a view to promoting the Community’s external trade policy through a process of structured dialogue with key opinion formers

The Community’s trade policy will also be supported by the organisation of specific forums and meetings with a view to pro-
moting dialogue with opinion formers on issues of external trade. The Commission support for these actions may involve con-
ference or event-related services, as well as the reimbursement of the travel expenses incurred by individuals taking part in these
actions. In this connection, part of the appropriations against this budget heading may be used to support the World Social
Forum.

quantitative restrictions and surveillance measures, and in particular the financing of measures for monitoring licence manage-
ment systems and the coordinated development of the use of computerised procedures (SIGL system). These measures are a part
of the Community effort to complete the internal market.

This support will take the form of the financing of expenditure on the development, implementation and operation of common
systems and the definition of common guidelines for training and technical assistance for implementation. The operating expen-
diture also covers contributions to the functioning of systems (hardware, software, maintenance), the financing of information
and training measures for system users and the financing of technical assistance.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to help developing countries to participate effectively in the multilateral trading system and
regional trading arrangements and to improve their trade performance through the actions set out below.

Assistance for trade policy, participation in negotiations and implementation of trade agreements

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to formulate their trade policy, to strengthen the institutions involved
in trade policy, to participate effectively in international trade negotiations and to implement international trade agreements.
This assistance is primarily targeted at the public sector. These actions may include:

— comprehensive and updated trade reviews of developing countries or regions, covering their main trade policy features,

institutional environment, trade performance and the positioning of trade within their development strategy;

— assistance in developing trade-related legislation and carrying out regulatory reforms, including in the areas of services, Intel-

lectual Property Rights (IPR), customs and investment;

— support for the creation of effective trade-related domestic institutions with trained staff and an enforcement capacity;

— projects involving training and capacity-building actions aimed at developing country officials and operators, mainly in the
field of customs administration and trade facilitation, including Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and Sanitary and Phy-
tosanitary (SPS) measures.

Trade development

Actions to reduce supply-side constraints which impact directly on the ability of developing countries to exploit their interna-
tional trading potential, including, in particular, private-sector development. These actions may include:

— trade promotion strategy design and implementation;

— market analysis and development;

— business support services and institutions;

— public-private sector networking;

— e-commerce;

— improved access to trade finance;

— running a help desk to provide developing countries’ industry with information on access to EU markets and to facilitate
efforts by such industry to take advantage of market-access opportunities offered by the international trading system.

Trade adjustment

Actions to enhance developing countries’ ability to mitigate the adjustment costs of trade liberalisation, including trade-related
macroeconomic and fiscal adjustment processes. These actions may include:

— compensation mechanisms to address preference erosion;

— reform of the tax system to help compensate governments for loss of tariff revenue.

Trade-related physical infrastructure

Actions to support the building of infrastructure which is directly related to the trade development of a country. These actions
may include:

— port and airport development;

— roads linking export industries to harbours and airports.

In order to maintain support for domestic efforts to mainstream trade in national plans for economic development and strat-
egies for poverty reduction, most of the actions covered by this line will be implemented within the framework of the EU Coun-
try Strategy Papers (CSPs) and Regional Strategy Papers (RSPs).

A small proportion of the actions covered by this heading will be implemented through multilateral initiatives. These involve a
number of contributions to activities with a global scope such as the Integrated Framework on Trade Related Assistance and the
WTO Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund. As from 2007, a specific thematic programme on trade should be estab-
lished to meet the need for increased funding of activities that cannot be funded through CSPs and/or RSPs.

Legal basis

Trade-related assistance is currently based on external assistance regulations, in particular:

— Council Regulation (EEC) No 443/92 of 25 February 1992 on financial and technical assistance to, and economic coop-
eration with, the developing countries in Asia and Latin America (OJ L 52, 27.2.1992, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2112/2005 (OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 23);

— Council Regulation (EEC) No 1762/92 of 29 June 1992 on the implementation of the Protocols on financial and technical
cooperation concluded by the Community with Mediterranean non-member countries (OJ L 181, 1.7.1992, p. 1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2112/2005 (OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 23);

— Council Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 of 23 July 1996 on financial and technical measures to accompany (MEDA) the
reform of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership (OJ L 189, 30.7.1996,
p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2112/2005 (OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 23);

— Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 99/2000 of 29 December 1999 concerning the provision of assistance to the part-
ner States in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (OJ L 12, 18.1.2000, p. 1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2112/2005
(OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 23).

These regulations are, however, expected to be repealed as of 1 January 2007 by the new external financial instruments. Once
adopted, the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and the Development Cooperation and Economic
Cooperation Instrument (DCECI) would be the legal basis for this budget line.

Overall objectives

The policy area covers a wide range of activities from political relations and policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation
programmes. It includes both budgetary appropriations under Heading 4 of the financial perspective and funds under the various European Devel-
opment Funds (EDF) for the African, Caribbean and Pacific States as well as the overseas countries and territories.

The amount of the EDF varies from year to year due to the five-year implementation cycle, and corresponds to a yearly average of approximately
EUR 2 950 million in commitment appropriations. This is equivalent to about 55 % of total appropriations under Heading 4.

This implies that significant human resources, which are employed to implement the EDF and the complex operations under the Cotonou Agree-
ment, are to be taken into account in the overall human resources requirements in this policy area.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a Community contribution to the implementation of the European Community action
programme for targeting the three major communicable diseases, namely HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, in developing
countries.

Under that programme, the Community shall provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise with a view to promoting
investment in health, poverty reduction and equitable economic growth in developing countries.

In the allocation of such funding and expertise, priority shall be given to the poorest and least developed countries and the most
disadvantaged sections of the population, especially women and girls, within developing countries, and also to action that
complements and reinforces both the policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other
instruments of development cooperation. These activities ought to contribute to innovative solutions which will improve the
performance of current practices related to the fight against poverty-related diseases.

The purpose of all the activities carried out shall be to:

— optimise the impact of existing interventions, services, commodities and information targeted at the major communicable

diseases affecting the poorest populations,

— increase the affordability of key pharmaceuticals,

— increase research and development, including vaccines and clinical trials, microbiocides and innovative treatments,

— increase activities in the area of disease prevention, including VCCT testing, targeted information campaigns and counsel-

ling among high-risk groups,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to increase the capacity of civil society players and local authorities to act, mobilise and organise,
to promote dialogue between government and non-governmental players. It is intended to cover the financing of social and eco-
nomic development operations to benefit the poorest sections of the population in developing countries, in particular vulner-
able groups. It supports sustainable development initiatives taken by the local public authorities, community-based organisa-
tions and associations or groupings in developing countries, possibly in association with their European Union counterparts.

It is intended, in this context, mainly to cover information, educational, capitalisation and communication schemes so as to
enable potential agents to better assimilate the decentralised cooperation approach and to take a more active role in consulta-
tions regarding Community programmes and in the implementation of decentralised cooperation.

This appropriation will fund information and communication technologies that can assist with the process of decentralised
cooperation.

Remarks

This appropriation was intended to enable the Commission to establish in 2002 a mechanism to support capacity-building in
developing countries for information and communication technologies (ICT) and sustainable energy. The programme should
be well coordinated with other donor initiatives on ICT and sustainable energy.

From 2003 onwards, the sustainable energy component is addressed through Article 06 04 02, whereas the ICT component is
addressed through national/regional programmes whenever relevant.

The Commission should also use this appropriation to work with the United Nations Development programme on joint pilot
projects and ensure that the full benefits of ICT and sustainable energy technologies are explored and properly highlighted.

Reference acts

The appropriation entered in this article in 2002 concerned the financing of pilot projects within the meaning of the Interin-
stitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary disci-
pline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 18.6.1999, p. 1).

CHAPTER 21 03 — RELATIONS WITH SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, THE CARIBBEAN, PACIFIC AND INDIAN OCEAN AND OVERSEAS
COUNTRIES AND TERRITORIES (cont’d)

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the Millennium Devel-
opment Goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to
halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allo-
cated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector con-
ditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social
sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will
be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and edu-
cation ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Com-
munity’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giv-
ing full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

— present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the 35 % target for social

infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs,

— assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coher-
ence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights,
conflict prevention and the environment,

— present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achiev-

ing their objectives,

— summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

— provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend
on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds
in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the
report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the

Remarks

In accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and South Africa, and
with Regulation (EC) No 1726/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council, this appropriation is intended primarily
to cover the financing of development cooperation projects and programmes with South Africa, which contribute:

— to South Africa’s harmonious and sustainable economic and social development through programmes and measures

designed to reduce poverty and encourage economic growth which benefits the poor,

— to its continued integration into the world economy,

— to consolidate the foundations laid for a democratic society and a State governed by the rule of law in which human rights

and fundamental freedoms are fully respected.

Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty, take into account the needs of the previously disadvantaged communities
and integrate gender and environmental dimensions of development. Special attention shall be paid to the strengthening of insti-
tutional capacities.

Development cooperation will focus mainly on:

— support for policies, instruments and programmes aiming at the continued integration of the South African economy into
the world economy and trade, for employment creation, development of the private sector, regional cooperation and inte-
gration. In this latter context, it may give rise to expenditure outside South Africa,

— the improvement of living conditions and delivery of basic social services,

— the support to democratisation, the protection of human rights, sound public management, the strengthening of local gov-

ernments and involvement of civil society in the development process.

This appropriation also covers the protection and promotion of children’s rights and the integration of children’s rights into
programming, including in the CSPs, NIPs and mid-term reviews in South Africa.

Remarks

Action A: coordination

Budget financing provides the Commission with the means of support it needs to prepare, formulate and follow up coordina-
tion measures under its development policy. Policy coordination is crucial to the consistency, complementarity and effective-
ness of aid.

Coordination measures are essential in defining and shaping European development policy at a strategic and programming level.
The specific nature of European development policy is directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 177 and 180 of the Amster-
dam Treaty). Community aid is complementary to the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development coop-
eration and complementarity cannot work without coordination. Article 180 of the Treaty requires the Commission to act as
coordinator of national policies and coordinator of EU objectives with national objectives in the area of development coopera-
tion and assistance.

Coordination is not only a major factor in the Commission’s value added vis-à-vis the policies of the Member States but also a
priority in the work schedule at the point where the agendas of the European Union and the international community intersect.
It therefore reflects a steadily growing demand from the other European institutions, as recognised by the Member States and by
the European Parliament at the European Council in Barcelona in March 2002. It is inherent in the nature of coordination that
an enlargement from 15 to 25 Member States should be reflected by a substantial increase in the funding allocated as of 2004.

This appropriation covers various forms of action:

— effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, impact and viability studies in the area of coordination,

— meetings of experts and exchanges between the Commission and Member States,

— monitoring of operations in the course of implementation,

— support measures to improve the quality of the monitoring of ongoing operations and the preparation of future operations,

— measures to support external initiatives in the sphere of coordination,

— the preparation of common positions, statements and initiatives,

— the organisation of events relating to coordination,

— the production of publications and dissemination of information.

Action B: raising awareness

This appropriation covers the financing of activities designed to draw attention to action by the EU and the Member States in
the development field and to raise public awareness of development issues. Every activity financed under this article must include
the following two components, which are complementary in the Commission’s view:

— an ‘information’ component, designed to promote the various activities which the EU undertakes in the development aid
field and the activities which it conducts in partnership with the Member States and other international institutions,

— an ‘awareness-raising’ component, covering public opinion in the Community and in the ACP States (78 countries). These
activities are targeted primarily at the young. An immediate priority of this component is also to raise public awareness to
the Member States (EU-25) about the Community’s action in the development cooperation field.

These activities consist mainly, though not exclusively, of financial support for schemes in the audiovisual, publications, semi-
nars and events fields as applied to development, the production of information material, the development of information sys-
tems, and also the Lorenzo Natali prize for journalism in the development field.

These activities are directed at public and private sector partners, and at the EU’s representations and delegations in the Member
States, the accession countries and the ACP States.

The appropriation also covers the introduction of a system which gives access to the public to follow via the Internet the progress
of EU development aid from the decision on the budget to the implementation of the actual project in the developing country.

Irrespective of the beneficiary of the measure, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) of the Financial
Regulation.

Tasks resulting from specific powers directly conferred on the Commission pursuant to Article 180 of the Treaty establishing
the European Community.

ENLARGEMENT

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential countries stay on course to achieve
the targets set with and for them by the European Council.
This will involve:
— bringing to a successful conclusion Bulgaria’s and Romania’s accession processes, monitoring their compliance with commitments taken upon

closure of negotiations with a view to meeting the accession date of 2007,

— managing the increased financial support granted to Bulgaria and Romania under the Phare programme aimed at helping them meet the struc-

tural, institutional, administrative and judicial requirements of EU membership,

— implementing the three-pillar strategy adopted by the Council concerning the next stages of Turkey’s accession process, including success-

fully conducting accession negotiations,

— implementing the increase in pre-accession financial assistance for Turkey agreed by the Copenhagen European Council of December 2002,
— successfully conducting accession negotiations with Croatia with the ultimate goal of membership,
— following up on the Council decision on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s application for membership,
— anchoring the other Western Balkan countries on the European track, notably supporting their reforms and preparations or future member-

ship and furthering the stabilisation and association process.

— supporting the reunification process of Cyprus, implementing and monitoring trade and financial support to that aim.
As far as the 10 new Member States are concerned, the Commission will still be phasing out major enlargement-related tasks and initiatives, and in
particular managing the transition facility for institution-building in the new Member States.

Remarks

After enlargement, the Commission remains responsible for ensuring that all legal and financial requirements are met, in par-
ticular with regard to sound and efficient financial management. In line with the Act of Accession, all implementing agencies in
the 10 new Member States that joined the EU in 2004 now operate under the extended decentralised implementation system
(EDIS).

However a number of inalienable tasks relating to the completion of pre-accession programmes have been repatriated to head-
quarters from phased out delegations/representations. These concern notably project follow-up in the context of both moni-
toring of outcomes and financial management, including payment requests, as well as the follow-up to corrective actions taken
upon recommendations from EDIS audits and the implementation and follow-up to post-accession transitional financial aid.
Modifications to project fiches and/or financial allocations must also be duly assessed and an appropriate decision submitted to
the Commission.

This appropriation is intended to cover the administrative costs of this remaining part of the phasing-out of the pre-accession
assistance programmes in the new Member States, namely:

— expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, auxiliaries, detached national experts, staff from employment agen-
cies) at headquarters intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on delegations; expenditure on temporary sup-
port staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 600 000 and this estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-
year, of which 97 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 3 % by the additional cost of training,
meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members,

Remarks

The European Union pursues a policy of cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe which is part of a Euro-
pean Union pre-accession strategy towards these countries.

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 (9 and 10 December 1994), 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.

As a result of the stepping-up of the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in
Agenda 2000, Phare operations are now geared to two main priorities:

— institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of:

— the approximation of legislation,

— structural reforms and regional policies,

— promoting democracy, social dialogue, gender equality and equal opportunities, civil society and active cooperation

in the fields of justice and home affairs,

— opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,

— investment-financing, notably in order to help the candidate States comply with Community legislative standards and adopt

the acquis communautaire in the area of economic and social cohesion.

With the accession of eight Phare countries to the Union in 2004, this appropriation is intended to cover Phare pre-accession
assistance to the other countries still in negotiation.

Assistance under the programme focuses mainly on the priorities identified under the accession partnerships and will take
account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquiscommunautaire.

22 02 01 (cont’d)

22 02 01 01 (cont’d)

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.

Part of this appropriation is intended for the financing of measures for developing and preparing partnerships, i.e. business con-
tact fairs, between companies in the Member States and in the candidate countries.

Agenda 2000 and the conclusions of various European Councils have underlined the importance of a high level of nuclear safety
in the candidate countries. The action taken under Phare is intended to support the candidate countries in their efforts to ensure
the required high level, notably with regard to the recommendations of the Council’s Atomic Questions Group. Measures taken
in the area of nuclear security are also intended to cover the financing of technical and legal assistance necessary for the evalu-
ation of the safety, environmental, economic and financial aspects of the projects for which financing in the form of a Euratom
loan has been requested (including studies by the European Investment Bank); the measures are also intended to enable loan
contracts to be finalised and carried out. The Commission will provide the budgetary authority with itemised 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, which are entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional
appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the involvement of associated countries in central and eastern Europe in Commu-
nity programmes.

All the measures shall be subject to gender mainstreaming. Furthermore, an appropriate, yet nonetheless substantial, portion of
the Phare budget, to be used exclusively for projects aimed at women, will be earmarked for this purpose.

the required high level, notably with regard to the recommendations of the Council’s Atomic Questions Group. Measures taken
in the area of nuclear security are also intended to cover the financing of technical and legal assistance necessary for the evalu-
ation of the safety, environmental, economic and financial aspects of the projects for which financing in the form of a Euratom
loan has been requested (including studies by the European Investment Bank); the measures are also intended to enable loan
contracts to be finalised and carried out. The Commission will provide the budgetary authority with itemised 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, which are entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional
appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the involvement of associated countries in central and eastern Europe in Commu-
nity programmes.

All the measures shall be subject to gender mainstreaming. Furthermore, an appropriate, yet nonetheless substantial, portion of
the Phare budget, to be used exclusively for projects aimed at women, will be earmarked for this purpose.

Remarks

The European Union pursues a policy of cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe which is part of a Euro-
pean Union pre-accession strategy towards these countries.

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 (9 and 10 December 1994), 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.

As a result of the stepping-up of the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in
Agenda 2000, Phare operations are now geared to two main priorities:

— institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of:

— the approximation of legislation,

— structural reforms and regional policies,

— promoting democracy, social dialogue, gender equality and equal opportunities, civil society and active cooperation

in the fields of justice and home affairs,

— opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,

— investment-financing, notably in order to help the candidate States comply with Community legislative standards and adopt

the acquis communautaire in the area of economic and social cohesion.

With the accession of eight Phare countries to the Union in 2004, this appropriation is intended to cover Phare pre-accession
assistance to the other countries still in negotiation.

Assistance under the programme focuses mainly on the priorities identified under the accession partnerships and will take
account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquis communautaire.

CHAPTER 22 02 — PRE-ACCESSION ASSISTANCE INSTRUMENTS (cont’d)

22 02 01 (cont’d)

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.

Part of this appropriation is intended for the financing of measures for developing and preparing partnerships, i.e. business con-
tact fairs, between companies in the Member States and in the candidate countries.

Agenda 2000 and the conclusions of various European Councils have underlined the importance of a high level of nuclear safety
in the candidate countries. The action taken under Phare is intended to support the candidate countries in their efforts to ensure
the required high level, notably with regard to the recommendations of the Council’s Atomic Questions Group. Measures taken

Remarks
Phare cross-border cooperation (CBC) will continue to be implemented at the Romanian borders with Bulgaria and Hungary
(combined with Interreg appropriations on the Hungarian side) and at the Bulgarian borders with Romania and Greece (com-
bined with Interreg appropriations on the Greek side).
However, as a result of the geographical extension of Phare CBC to cover all external borders of Romania and Bulgaria, as of
2004, supplementary Phare CBC funds are allocated to the Romanian borders with Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro
and to the Bulgarian borders with Serbia and Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. At those borders,
the Neighbourhood Programme approach will be applied, as provided by the Commission’s communication, ‘Paving the way
for a new Neighbourhood instrument’ (COM(2003) 393 final, July 2003). In this framework, Phare CBC allocations shall be
combined with Tacis and CARDS funds at relevant borders.
Supplementary Phare CBC funds, as of 2004, are also allocated to the Bulgarian border with Turkey where cross-border coop-
eration will be implemented in combination with Turkey pre-accession funds.
As of 2005, since Croatia has become a candidate country, Phare CBC will also be implemented at Croatian borders with Slo-
venia, Hungary and Italy (maritime border) and potentially also with other neighbouring countries.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover technical assistance in the field of approximation of legislation for the entire acquis com-
munautaire, helping all bodies involved in the implementation and enforcement of the acquis, including non-governmental
organisations to achieve their objectives and to monitor their rate of achievement.

The objective is to provide as rapidly as possible short-term assistance by means of seminars, workshops, study visits and expert
visits, training arrangements, provision of tools and products, notably for information gathering and dissemination,
translation/interpretation, as well as any other forms of technical assistance in the context of the approximation of the Euro-
pean Union acquis.

The range of beneficiaries comprises representatives from all public and semi-public sector bodies such as national administra-
tions, parliaments, legislative councils, regional governments, regulatory and supervisory authorities, as well as those from social
partners and representatives of commercial, professional and economic groupings which are involved in the transposition,
implementation and enforcement of the acquis communautaire.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover preparatory actions to support regions and economic sectors which are particularly
affected by the social or economic costs likely to be generated by the enlargement process. Regions and economic sectors will
be supported in preparing to cope with the social and economic changes which are to be expected in relation to enlargement.
The preparatory actions are set up with a view to minimising the possible adverse effects and putting forward a programme for
those economic sectors and geographical areas on which enlargement is likely to have the most impact, in particular, the most
affected border regions.

These preparatory actions are intended, inter alia, to fund measures for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Com-
munity in order to improve their capacity to react to the opportunities and challenges resulting from the enlargement process
to include the candidate countries. The appropriations will be directed to SMEs, associations of SMEs or regional and local bod-
ies to support, inter alia, measures to improve contacts and prepare cooperation, joint ventures and collaborative links with SMEs
of the candidate countries, measures to improve the competitiveness of SMEs in border regions, and measures to improve the
trade relations between SMEs in the current Member States and those in the candidate countries and, subsequently, the new
Member States, facilitating the flow of goods and services in both directions.

Measures to support will also concern:

— provision of information focusing on the economic and social aspects of enlargement to collaborative link-ups and SMEs,

— collaboration and pooling of experience between regional and local authority administrations.

These actions are intended to complement the measures financed under Council Decision 2000/819/EC of 20 December 2000
on a multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship, and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) (2001 to 2005) (OJ L 333, 29.12.2000, p. 84).

This appropriation is also intended to finance actions involving consumer organisations or entities (such as national adminis-
trations, judicial authorities, etc.) in the candidate countries with a view to promoting consumer health, safety and protection as
generally provided in Decision No 283/1999/EC.

It is also intended to finance measures in favour of young people in the regions bordering the candidate countries, such as sup-
port for transnational mobility, information and communication technologies in the area of youth, development of coopera-
tion networks, promotion of language skills and understanding of different cultures.

Other projects planned are to be carried out by various kinds of organisations and local and regional bodies, in order to facili-
tate the free movement of persons after the accession of new Member States. Projects will, inter alia, concentrate on:

— analysis of the quantitative aspects of expected migration and on the resulting challenges for local or regional economies

and labour markets,

— measures to prepare for the administrative and economic effects of increased migration, which may include contacts
between representatives of government departments and the business world in the Member States and candidate countries,

— information for specifically affected organisations and groups on the expected effects of EU enlargement for migration and,

in particular, the positive effects of free movement of persons on the economy and culture.

This action is not directed towards the general public.

Preference will be given to funding projects which are situated in the land and sea border regions bordering the candidate coun-
tries or which include partners from the candidate countries. In connection with all the projects and measures funded under
this article, disabled persons must be afforded unrestricted access. The measures take into account the Commission communi-
cation of 25 July 2001 on the impact of enlargement on regions bordering candidate countries — Community action for bor-
der regions (COM(2001) 437 final).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of pre-accession multi-country and horizontal programmes for all candi-
date countries, audit and evaluation as well as information and communication programmes. It will allow Turkey to participate
in common assistance activities as it becomes increasingly integrated into the pre-accession process. In particular, the appro-
priation is destined to fund common programmes such as the ‘IFI facilities’, i. e. institution-building assistance targeting finan-
cial institutions in order to raise their capacity to lend to small and medium-sized enterprises or municipal authorities, pro-
grammes supporting civil society organisations; or programmes to improve the administrative capacity of national statistical
offices.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot
Community. The assistance will focus particularly on the economic integration of the island and on improving contacts between
the two communities and with the European Union in order to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus. The assistance may be used
to support:
— the promotion of social and economic development, in particular concerning rural development, human resources devel-

opment and regional development,

— the development and restructuring of infrastructure, in particular in the areas of energy and transport, the environment,

telecommunications and water supply,

— reconciliation, confidence building measures, and support to civil society,
— bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the Union, through, inter alia, information on the European Union’s

political and legal order, promotion of youth exchanges and scholarships,

— progressive alignment with, and preparation for, implementation of the acquis communautaire.
Part of this appropriation is also intended to cover the operational programmes entrusted to the European Agency for Recon-
struction (EAR) and its operating expenditure. The latter will be funded by an amount equivalent to not more than 8 % of the
overall multiannual budget for the programmes managed.

Remarks

The Commission proposed, in its strategy paper of 9 October 2002 (COM(2002) 700 final), to create a transition facility for
certain institution-building actions over the period 2004 to 2006. The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist
the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their administrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to
foster the exchange of best practice.

The orientation of the transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded
by Phare during the pre-accession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and
decision-making will continue to apply for the transition facility with some small adaptations.

Article 34 of Title I, part 4, of the Act of Accession provides the legal basis for the establishment of the transition facility. Para-
graph 3 refers to the procedure under the Phare Regulation for seeking Member States’ opinions on programmes. Paragraph 4
refers to the Financial Regulation as applicable to internal policies for implementation.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to the new Member States in areas where their admin-
istrative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with present Member States. The transition facility should
provide the tools to enable them to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have
been, or risk being, invoked.

The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which
cannot be financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:

— justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strength-

ening of law enforcement capacities),

— financial control,

— protection of the Communities’ financial interests and the fight against fraud,

— the internal market, including customs union,

— the environment,

— veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety,

— nuclear safety (strengthening the effectiveness and competence of nuclear safety authorities and their technical support

organisations as well as public radioactive waste management agencies),

— statistics,

— the strengthening public administration according to needs identified in the Commission’s comprehensive monitoring

report which are not covered by the Structural Funds.

The issues to be addressed by the transition facility will primarily be identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority
should be given to areas where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked to secure rapid remedial action.

Part of each allocation is assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, audit and evaluation actions being herein included. The
remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication measures on enlargement, audit
and evaluation actions being herein included.

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the campaign’s priorities under the enlargement timetable. While 2004 was
a transition year, with a focus on central communication policies, reflecting the transformation of Delegations to Representa-
tions in the 10 new Member States, since 2005 the aim of the policies is to raise public awareness across Europe about the
enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where the public opinion is more sensitive to the next steps
of enlargement.

The credits allocated will finance information and communication actions on priority EU policies such as: an effective dialogue
on enlargement and pre-accession between the European citizens and the Union’s institutions, taking into account each coun-
try’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the EU and that of candidate and pre-accession
countries through calls for proposals and framework contracts; informing journalists on the enlargement process; opinion polls;
developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising conferences and seminars;
evaluating the information programme.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission,
lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It
coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion
on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) of Council Regulation
(EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European
Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The Community is to finance in part operation of the United Nations Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), the Office of the
High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (OHR) and the stability pact for south-eastern Europe. The financing is in the
form of a contribution to their budgets.

This appropriation is also intended to enable the use of external staff providing support to the special coordinator of the sta-
bility pact for south-eastern Europe, including the financing of the costs of the operation of his office as well as the special coor-
dinator’s contract with the Commission as special adviser under Articles 5 and 82 of the Conditions for employment of other
servants of the European Communities, in the Staff Regulations.

UNMIK and OHR will report twice a year to the European Parliament on the political situation in the regions concerned, in par-
ticular as regards its impact on the implementation of the European Union financial assistance.

Part of this appropriation may be earmarked, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations car-
ried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Service Network),
including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

HUMANITARIAN AID

Overall objectives

The aim of this policy area is to provide relief to the victims of humanitarian disasters worldwide, and in doing so:

— grant assistance strictly in accordance with identified humanitarian needs,

— focus more directly on ‘forgotten’ crises not covered by other donors,

— ensure a more balanced per-beneficiary allocation of funds that takes into account the different levels of complexity of operations, the objec-

tive needs that result from the geographic location, and the nature of specific crises,

— give specific attention to unstable post-crisis situations where other (national) donors may be reluctant to become involved,

— strive for maximum complementarity and coherence with other key players’ priorities,

— ensure that horizontal issues (gender, human rights and disability) will be systematically mainstreamed into operations.

— public awareness and information campaigns and visibility operations and other measures of a horizontal nature high-

lighting the Community character of the aid.

It also covers expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters (contract staff, temporary staff, auxiliaries, staff from
employment agencies), limited to EUR 1 100 000; this staff is intended to take over the tasks that were entrusted to external
contractors in the context of the internalisation of the administration of individual experts. This amount, based on an estimated
annual cost per person/year, is meant to cover the remuneration of the staff in question as well as the training, the meetings, the
missions, the IT expenditure and telecommunications expenditure related to their tasks.

It is also intended to cover expenditure on the development and operation of information systems, accessible via the Europa
website or via a secured website at the Data Centre, intended to improve the coordination between the Commission and other
institutions, national administrations, agencies, non-governmental organisations, other partners in the area of humanitarian aid
and ECHO’s experts in the field.

Pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) 1257/96 of 20 June 1996 concerning humanitarian aid, this appropriation is
also intended to cover the additional expenditure incurred by the network on humanitarian assistance (NOHA) up to a maxi-
mum yearly amount of EUR 400 000 by an additional cost grant. This is a one-year multidisciplinary postgraduate diploma in
the humanitarian field designed to promote greater professionalism amongst humanitarian workers, and involving several par-
ticipating universities.

This appropriation covers administrative expenditure under Articles 23 02 01 and 23 02 02.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of assistance, relief, protection and emergency food aid operations to help
people in the developing countries, including African, Caribbean and Pacific States, countries in Asia and Latin America 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, disability, sex, age, nation-
ality 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 reconstruc-
tion work, notably of infrastructure and facilities, the costs associated with external, expatriate or local staff, storage, interna-
tional 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 may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations.

It covers, inter alia::

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

— the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, promotion and development of initiatives intended to increase coor-

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended for the purchase of specific equipment to combat fraud and to provide technical assistance for
the purpose of combating fraud; it involves awarding grants to national departments or other public-sector bodies so that they
can organise these actions themselves. Technical assistance also means organising seminars for the staff of the national depart-
ments concerned.

It also covers training measures supported by OLAF which contribute to the fight against fraud affecting the financial interests
of the European Union by encouraging the pooling of experience and dissemination of general and operational knowhow in
the areas concerned. These measures will also be designed to make OLAF and its working methods better known and to improve
cooperation by enhancing understanding of Community and national mechanisms.

— documentation and library expenditure to meet the needs of translators, in particular:

— the purchase of works (studies, dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopaedias, yearbooks and series) and updates on paper

and in electronic form,

— subscriptions in general (periodicals, journals, etc.) on paper and in electronic form,

— costs of preserving works (purchase of special files, binding costs, etc.).

It covers expenditure incurred within the territory of the Community, excluding Joint Research Centre sites (for which expen-
diture is entered in Article 01 05 of the titles concerned).

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) and (g) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 350 000.

As regards services performed by the Commission (medium and long-term translation) on behalf of the Publications Office,
under the agreement that entered into force on 1 January 1973 the Commission undertook to place at the disposal of the Office
the translation staff required to perform all work requested by the Office to meet its own requirements or those of the Com-
munity institutions. This work will be carried out by the translators employed in Luxembourg, as shown in the Commission’s
establishment plan. Where necessary, freelance translators may also be used on a temporary basis. The number of translation
staff attached to the Publications Office in 2004 for purposes of performing medium- and long-term translation was 18 cat-
egory LA staff and nine category C staff. (The corresponding appropriations are entered in Article 01).

As regards the Translation Centre for the bodies of the European Union, its budgetary resources consist of financial contribu-
tions from the agencies for which it works and the institutions and bodies with which it cooperates, without prejudice to other
revenue.

During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is sub-
mitted, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the agencies’ budget, in particular
concerning the establishment plans published in the budget. Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on trans-
parency set out 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.

The part of this appropriation for the Translation Centre is intended to cover the costs of organising interinstitutional coop-
eration between the translation departments through the Centre, as stated in Council Regulation (EC) No 1645/2003 (OJ L 245,
29.9.2003, p. 13) amending Regulation (EC) No 2610/95 (OJ L 268, 10.11.1995, p. 1) and organisational duties with no direct
connection with the translation services provided to the bodies of the European Union.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 16 of the Framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185
of the Financial Regulation constitute assigned revenue (Article 18(1) (f) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0
of the general statement of revenue.

The establishment plan of the Translation Centre is shown in Part C ‘Staff’ of the general statement of revenue (volume 1).

Legal basis

Overall objectives

The aims of this policy area are to contribute to the efficient and effective performance of all Commission activities by providing independent,
effective and objective assurance and consultancy. This will include auditing the internal control systems that exist within the European Com-
mission in order to assess their effectiveness and, more generally, the performance of Commission departments in implementing policies, pro-
grammes and actions with a view to bringing about continuous improvement. It will also seek to help the Commission and its departments, by
means of its opinions, advice and recommendations with regard to the control of risks, the safeguarding of assets, compliance with rules, accurate
and reliable accounting and management information, the quality of internal control and, finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.
These objectives build on the tasks described in the Financial Regulation and, in line with the Financial Regulation, are carried out in conformity
with the relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

It also intended to cover the provision of the necessary statistical information, at the request of the Commission or of the other
Community institutions, for the assessment, monitoring and evaluation of Community expenditure. This will improve the imple-
mentation of financial and budgetary policy (drawing-up of the budget and periodic review of the financial perspective) and
make it possible to compile medium and long-term data for Community financing.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these
amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which con-
stitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of cor-
responding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 800 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the implementation of the Edicom measure (electronic data inter-
change on commerce), the objective of which is to provide through the trans-European networks the support needed by admin-
istrations, including economic operators and regional and local authorities, for the interchange of the telematic information,
data and documents on trade statistics which are necessary for the functioning of the Community and, in particular, the opera-
tion of the internal market.

This support will take the form of the financing of preliminary and feasibility studies, processing, dissemination, promotion and
marketing, validation exercises, development and administration of multisectoral telematic statistics projects laid down in an
outline plan and, where necessary, the upgrading of equipment and processing infrastructure. This outline plan will contain gen-
eral guidelines for the creation of a shared telematics architecture for the European statistical system, its implementation and
promotion.

Remarks

In the light of the conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of 11 and 12 December 1992 and the Berlin European Coun-
cil of 24 and 25 March 1999, the institutions have decided to enter an emergency aid reserve in the budget.

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with subparagraph 23(c) of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 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 initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a simplified form,
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.

Reference acts

Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary
discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 18.6.1999, p. 1).

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of information and communication measures undertaken by the Office.

The Office’s external information and communication strategy is central to its work. The Office was set up as an independent
investigative body and must therefore have its own communications strategy. The Office’s work is often too technical to be
immediately comprehensible to the general public. The Office has to inform its interlocutors and the public as a whole of its
role and tasks. Public perception of the Office’s work is of paramount importance.

As a Commission service, the Office also needs to take account of the democratic deficit existing between Community institu-

The communications strategy that the Office has developed and continues to implement must demonstrate its independence.

COMMISSION
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Under the agreement establishing the European Economic Area the EFTA countries (with the exception of Switzerland) take part in a wide range
of Community policies covered by headings 3, 4 and 5 of the financial perspective in exchange for a financial contribution to operating appro-
priations calculated by applying a ‘proportionality factor’. This proportionality factor is equal to the sum of the ratios obtained by dividing the
gross domestic product at market prices of each EFTA country by the gross domestic product at market prices of all the EC Member States plus
that of the EFTA country concerned.

For 2006 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,06 % (on the basis of 2004 figures).

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA countries
take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and the amounts
of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an Annex to the Community budget. The total EFTA contribution for the opera-
tional part for 2006 is estimated at about EUR 138 million in commitment appropriations. The EFTA countries will also share in the adminis-
trative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget headings concerning the contributions by the
EFTA countries are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded as provisional.

A. INTRODUCTION

This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 30(1) of the Financial Regulation of 25 June 2002 applicable to the general budget of the
European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, 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, and borrowing operations to provide macro-financial assistance to non-member countries, European Investment Bank loans
to Mediterranean basin countries, in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the western Balkans, for projects in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova, European Investment Bank loans for projects of mutual interest in certain non-member countries (Asia and Latin America), European
Investment Bank loans to South Africa and 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.

At 30 June 2005, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 16 333 000 000; of that total EUR 3 214 000 000 was
inside the European Union and EUR 13 119 000 000 outside.

B. BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS
GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET

I. SINGLE FACILITY PROVIDING MEDIUM-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBER STATES’ BALANCES OF PAYMENTS

1. Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member
States’ balances of payments (OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1).

2. Description

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seri-
ously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member States which have not adopted the
euro may benefit from this Community facility. The outstanding amount of loans is limited to EUR 12 billion in principal.

3. Effect on the budget

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

IV. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO

PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES

of the clear improvement in Algeria’s external position payment of the second tranche is no longer to be made.

VIII. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR EURATOM BORROWINGS TO IMPROVE THE DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY AND
SAFETY OF NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND THE
COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 94/179/Euratom of 21 March 1994 amending Decision 77/270/Euratom to authorise 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 cer-
tain 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 EUR 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) as amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1149/1999 (OJ L 139, 2.6.1999, p. 1) and as last amended
by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28), 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 9 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed after 1 January 2000,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

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

2. Description

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community
guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jor-
dan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of
the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to
EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of three years
beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible six-month extension).

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

The Council decided on 29 November 1999 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for
projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the
appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600 000 000
and covered a period of three years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible six-month extension)

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This per-
centage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 22 December 1999, on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided once again to give the
European Investment Bank the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterra-
nean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee
is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of seven years from
1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. If at the end of that period the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not reached the
abovementioned total values, the period is automatically extended by six months.

On 4 December 2000 the Council decided to establish a European Investment Bank special action programme in support of the consolidation
and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union. The value of those loans is limited to an overall ceiling of EUR 450 000 000.

That Decision was at the origin of the extension of the contract for the provision of security signed by the European Community and the Euro-
pean Investment Bank on 19 July 2000 in Brussels and 24 July 2000 in Luxembourg, under which the guarantee is limited to 65 % of the total
value of the appropriations made available plus all the related sums. The overall ceiling on the appropriations made available is equivalent to
EUR 19 460 000 000 and covers a period of seven years from 1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. If at the end of that period the loans
granted by the European Investment Bank have not reached the abovementioned total values the period is extended by six months.

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) as amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1149/1999 (OJ L 139, 2.6.1999, p. 1) and as last amended
by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28), 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 9 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed after 1 January 2000,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

— 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 Novem-
ber 1989 to authorise the Bank to provide loans from its own resources to finance investment projects in Hungary and Poland for a total
amount not exceeding EUR 1 000 000 000. These loans are granted to finance investment projects which satisfy the Bank’s usual require-
ments 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 EUR 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 EUR 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 appropriations made avail-
able, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which
EUR 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 Janu-
ary 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 Council decided on 19 May 1998 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects
in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made avail-
able, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 150 000 000 for a period of two years
beginning on 1 January 1998. 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 Council decided on 14 December 1998 to amend Decision 97/256/EC in order to extend the Community guarantee to the European Invest-
ment Bank to loans for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations
made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is EUR 100 000 000 for a period of two years
beginning on 22 December 1998. 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.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 22 December 1999 to renew the Com-
munity guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is
restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of seven years begin-
ning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. 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 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This per-
centage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 7 November 2000 the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the European Investment Bank to loans for
projects in Croatia.

On 6 November 2000 the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the European Investment Bank to loans for

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL
BUDGET

Technical notes on Table 1

(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 euro of the currencies borrowed and lent are the reasons for the differences between the col-
umns ‘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 ‘Inter-
est’ 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 2005.

(c) Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2005’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative
total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2005 under loans signed in 1986 (table 1), including refinancing (which produces some
duplication).

(d) Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2005’: 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 2005, including repay-
ments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

(e) Column 7 = column 4 — column 5.
