— a study on the feasibility of and obstacles to the creation of a federal police force for the European Union;

— a feasibility study on qualified market access/qualified external protection; the European Parliament has already adopted
this approach on a number of occasions. The main idea underlying it is that social and ecological standards should be
applied as parameters for granting or denying access to European markets and for charging different duties and agricul-
tural levies according to the standards established. These levies/duties will be channelled to a fund for rural development in
developing countries and benefit the products for which standards need to be improved;

— a study on the compilation and updating of basic data on European populations; this study should seek to answer the fol-
lowing questions: What population movements are there in the Union? Who moves, why, and from where to where? Who
settles on a long-term basis in a partner country? Are third-country nationals mobile within the Union, or do they remain
in the first host country? How many mixed marriages and mixed births are there, and what categories of persons are most
commonly affected? Are these European citizens registered on electoral rolls in the host country? Do they apply to the
courts or the ombudsman if they have difficulties in asserting their rights as European citizens? What has become of tra-
ditionally nomadic peoples since new members have joined the Union?

— a study on food safety and quality; the study should cover inter alia the cost to business stemming from the introduction
of labelling, the impact on the consumption of Community products both within and outside the European Union, any
changes in consumer perception of Community products in terms of food safety and quality, the initiative’s value for
money, possible promotional measures, and whether products labelled as being of Community origin can maintain their
national or regional identity;

— a study to identify the best strategy for combating avian influenza in the European Union, in order to reduce the risk of its
propagation and transmission to humans; the study should cover inter alia the resources that the European Union can bring
to bear in the event of a pandemic and proposals as to how to enhance those resources, the risk of an animal and human
pandemic, detailed guidelines for measures to be taken by Member States to minimise the risk of propagation, improving
coordination at Community and international levels, enhancing the financial resources to be brought to bear in the event
of an outbreak of the disease either within or outside the European Union, the best means of eradicating and preventing
the disease, and improving monitoring of the disease and ways to prevent a catastrophic situation from arising in the Mem-
ber States;

— a study on desertification; the study should cover inter alia the economic and social repercussions for European regions
affected by desertification, with an appraisal of the current and likely future implications, particularly for the sectors most
at risk, such as farming and tourism, environmental impact, solutions and strategies for combating desertification, identi-
fication of the means of combating desertification that the EU should have at its disposal, and techniques and instruments
for the recovery and use of water resources;

— a study on new means of providing European farmers with support when a disaster occurs.

TITLE 01

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 2007 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 2007,
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 further corroborated after
their accession in 2007. Also, in 2007, 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the provision of paid-up shares of the capital subscribed by the Euro-
pean Community.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) was created in 1994. Its founder members are the European Community, represented by
the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a number of financial institutions. The Community mem-
bership to the EIF is determined by Council Decision 94/375/EC.

The EIF is expected to exhaust its own resources by mid-2007 and will be unable to continue its own resources operations.
Therefore, it has proposed to its Board of Directors to increase the subscribed capital up to 50 % in nominal terms.

Article 3 of Council Decision 94/375/EC specifies that the position of the Community on a possible capital increase in the capi-
tal of the EIF and on its participation in that increase shall be decided unanimously by the Council, acting on a proposal from
the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament. The Commission has submitted a proposal for a Council Deci-
sion on Community participation in the capital increase of the EIF, which could possibly be adopted by the Council early 2007.
Consequently, the purpose of the proposal for a Council Decision is to approve Community participation in the 50 % increase
in the nominal capital of EIF. It will be proposed to maintain the level of the Community participation at 30 % by 2010.

The intention is to increase the total subscribed share capital from EUR 2 billion to EUR 3 billion and, maintaining the current
paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 million to EUR 600 million. The capital increase of the EIF was endorsed
within the framework of EIB Group’s contribution to growth and jobs which was welcomed by the Ecofin of 14 March 2006
and European Council of 23 and 24 March 2006.

Community participation in the capital increase will take place in four tranches starting in 2007.

Any revenue from dividends paid by the European Investment Fund, entered in article 8 5 0 of the statement of revenue, may
give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item, in accordance with article 18 of the Financial
Regulation.

Legal basis

Council Decision 94/375/EC of 6 June 1994 on Community membership of the European Investment Fund (OJ L 173,
7.7.1994, p. 12) and the forthcoming Council Decision on the capital increase of the EIF and the Community participation in
it. This decision will possibly be adopted in the course of 2007 (proposal COM(2006) 621 final).

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

Overall objectives

The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed
Lisbon strategy.

As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the important objectives are as follows: to con-
clude the review of the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of
the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance.

In the context of the i2010 Content and services activity, the new Competitiveness and innovation programme aims at ensuring the best use and
wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and at boosting competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the
eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is
aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments.

As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information society and media policy area are concerned, information
and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim at stepping up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improving its impact on
the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs.

The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross discipline services to the research com-
munities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT based resources to virtual communities

In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audio-
visual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating syn-
ergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

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 and maritime affairs (including conservation of fisheries
resources, control and dialogue with the 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 European Fisheries Fund (EFF).

Sixty per cent of appropriations is devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of
shared management.

Remarks

Article 39 of 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 accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reduc-
tions 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.

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

Legal basis

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational programmes of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) convergence objec-
tive for the programming period 2007 to 2013.

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, as well as to the sustain-
able development of the fishing zones.

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 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-

hoc service contracts.

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

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 of candidate countries as well as of western Balkan countries and/or the Swiss Confedera-
tion participating in Community programmes, entered under Item 6 0 3 1 and/or under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of rev-
enue, may be used for additional expenditure, applying the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on

cial Regulation.

Remarks

Proposals on a new health and consumer protection programmes 2007-2013 were adopted by the Commission on 24 May
2006.

The Commission proposes the following objectives common to health and consumer protection:

— to protect citizens from risks and threats which are beyond the control of individuals and that cannot be effectively tackled

by individual Member States,

— to increase the ability of citizens to take better decisions about their health and consumer protection interests,

— to mainstream health and consumer protection policy objectives across all Community policies.

In addition, health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions. For consumers’ protection there are
two specific objectives:

— Objective 1: to ensure a high level of consumer protection, notably through an improved evidence basis, better consulta-

tion and better representation of consumers’ interests,

— Objective 2: to ensure effective application of consumer protection rules notably through enforcement cooperation, infor-

mation, education and redress.

The consumer programme aims at consolidating and expanding the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programme.
It expands considerably Community activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, mar-
ket surveillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

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.

Proposals on new health and consumer protection programmes 2007-2013 were adopted by the Commission on 24 May 2006.

The Commission proposes the following objectives common to health and consumer protection:

— to protect citizens from risks and threats which are beyond the control of individuals and that cannot be effectively tackled

by individual Member States,

— to increase the ability of citizens to take better decisions about their health and consumer interests,

— to mainstream health and consumer policy objectives across all Community policies.

In addition, Health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions.

Health objectives:

— to improve information on and knowledge of health: the objective is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and

dissemination of health-related information in Europe,

— to improve the capacity to react rapidly to health threats to protect citizens against health threats,

— to promote good health and prevent disease through action on health determinants to improve prosperity and solidarity.

For 2007 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme 2007 to 2013 will focus on three pillars, where European
level action is essential:

(1) Health information

The objective of this pillar is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in
Europe which is necessary to provide a solid foundation for health policy making and is also needed by professionals for their
work and by citizens to enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices.

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

An effective rapid response capability is needed to avoid threats to public health, for example arising from communicable dis-
eases or chemical or biological attacks. Tackling such threats need to be coordinated effectively at EU level. The integration of
the EU based on the principle of free movement increases the need for vigilance, to respond to major cross-border health threats
such as avian flu, or bioterrorism.

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

The overall objective is to contribute to EU prosperity by fostering healthy ageing and bridging inequalities as well as to enhance
solidarity between national health systems

Actions would include initiatives to increase healthy life years and promote healthy ageing; explore health’s impact on produc-
tivity and labour participation; support the reduction of inequalities between Member States and investment in health, thus con-
tributing to the Lisbon agenda, and to productivity and growth. Actions would also enhance solidarity between health systems,
including cooperation on shared challenges, thus facilitating the development of a Community framework for safe, high-quality
and efficient health services.

Actions would further include the promotion of health by tackling environmental, addiction and lifestyle determinants.

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

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,

towards democracy; support for victims of repression, in particular for the rehabilitation of victims of torture and ill
treatment,

— strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights, democratic reform and conflict prevention, including
support to enhance political representation and participation and to develop civil society dialogue in divided societies,

— encouraging less well represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society and the political system, combating
all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups,
including disabled persons and older persons.

— strengthening the international framework for the protection of human rights, the rule of law and the promotion of democ-

racy, in particular international criminal justice mechanisms and core legal instruments.

— Part of this appropriation will be devoted to the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation,
providing a European Masters Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation and an EU-UN Fellowship Programme, beyond
the expiry by end 2006 of Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004

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),

for 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),

context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and the Barcelona Process — knowledge and best practices in the field of
sustainable local development, micro-credit, environmental protection and the fight against poverty,

for actions in the field of migration designed, inter alia, to promote links between migrations and development, to combat
illegal immigration and to facilitate readmission. These actions will be supplemented by actions financed from the ENPI
allocation from the thematic line 19 02 01 01 (Cooperation in the areas of migration and asylum),

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 Euro-
pean Union), as well as to support the Middle East peace process,

G.

for the cross-border and inter-culture dialogue by joint educational programmes, promotion of human rights, democracy
and the rule of law.

Horizontal visibility and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the objectives of EU action in Medi-
terranean third countries.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible
for clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

The Commission will ensure that, when drawing up the relevant strategy papers and related programmes, attention is paid to
promoting regional cooperation in pursuit of the objectives of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership under the Barcelona Pro-
cess. The Commission will seek to maintain the total resources for regional and multilateral activities at the level achieved in the
2000 to 2006 period.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations car-
ried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under ESSN (European Senior Services Network),

Remarks

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 develop-
ment, health, water supply, the environment, training and education and the establishment of Palestinian institutions. The opera-
tions should favour the use of renewable energies as much as possible.

Also charged to this item 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.

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

— activities common to young Israelis and Palestinians,

— clear information in both languages,

— information activity and Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.

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

This appropriation is intended to cover expenses arising from the Community’s contribution to the financing of the general
budget of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) (health, education and social services
programmes).

TITLE 21

DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC (ACP) STATES

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 framework 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.

This appropriation is intended to cover:

— expenditure on technical and administrative assistance which the Commission may delegate to an implementing agency

governed by Community law,

— expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commis-

sion under ad hoc service contracts for the mutual benefit of the beneficiaries and the Commission,

— 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 dismantled technical assistance offices; expen-
diture on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 3 453 300 and this estimate is based on a provisional

This appropriation is intended to contribute:

— to poverty and food insecurity reduction in chronic food insecure developing countries;

— to mitigate the effects of crisis on the most vulnerable population.

As a bridging instrument between the short-term (crisis situations) and the long-term (development), the scope of this bridging
function includes protracted crisis, rehabilitation and the tackling structural food insecurity as a first step towards long-term
poverty reduction.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). How-
ever, in line with article 38 of the DCI Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the
ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 3,7 % of this programme is foreseen for such
countries.

This appropriation is intended to support initiatives in developing countries carried out by civil society organisations and local
authorities originating from the Community and partner countries in the area of development as well as to strengthen their
capacity in the policy making process, so as to:

— promote an inclusive and empowered society in order to (i) favour populations out of reach of mainstream services and
resources and excluded from policy making processes, (ii) strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations and local
authorities in partner countries, with a view to facilitating their participation in defining and implementing sustainable
development strategies, (iii) facilitate interaction between state and non-state actors in different contexts,

— increase the level of consciousness of the European population regarding development issues and mobilise active public
support in Europe for poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies in partner countries, for fairer relations
between developed and developing countries, and reinforce civil society role as a factor of progress and transformation,

— achieve more efficient cooperation, foster synergies and ensuring a structured dialogue between civil society networks,

This appropriation is intended to promote and implement the policy applicable to the Community’s relations with developing
countries and with Europe’s neighbours on environment and sustainable management of natural resources, including energy,
promote coherence with other Community policies and conduct forward studies to these ends.

Financial support is provided to projects within five priority areas: (1) working upstream on MDG7: promoting environmental
sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of EU initiatives and internationally agreed commitments; (3) better integration
by the EU (4) strengthening environmental governance and EU leadership; and (5) support for sustainable energy options in
partner countries and regions.

These appropriations will also cover the Community contribution to the Global Energy Efficeincy and Renewable Energy Fund
(GEEREF). The objective of GEEREF is to mobilise public and private finance to help solving the financing grid-lock for eco-
nomic renewable energy projects and businesses in developing countries and (non-EU) economies in transition.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). How-
ever, in line with article 38 of the DCI Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the
ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 8 % of this programme is foreseen for such countries.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing
instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41).

ENLARGEMENT

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential candidate countries stay on course
to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council.

This will involve:

— full accession negotiations with Turkey and Croatia and further steps towards the opening of accession negotiations with the former Yugo-

slav Republic of Macedonia which was granted candidate status by the December 2005 European Council,

— the intensification of the Stabilisation and Association Process in the western Balkans, following the outcome of the talks on the status of

Kosovo and the referendum in Montenegro; implementation of association agreements with all the countries in the region,

— the launch of the single Instrument for Pre-Accession in all candidate and potential candidate countries in support of their reforms and prepa-

rations for future membership,

— the support to the reunification of Cyprus, with the implementation of the aid package to the Turkish Cypriot community,

— the promotion of a dialogue between civil societies in member states and candidate and potential candidate countries as an integral part of

the pre-accession processes,

— an effective information and communication policy on enlargement both in candidate and potential candidate countries and in Member States,

— the programming of the transition facilities for Romania and Bulgaria.

The Commission will also continue to phase out the pre-accession programmes and transition facilities in all new Member States.

Under the new Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), pre-accession financial assistance is available not only for can-

enhanced European perspective following the Thessaloniki European Council (19 to 20 June 2003), in particular by means of:

— strengthening democratic institutions, as well as the rule of law, including its enforcement,

— the promotion and the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and enhanced respect for minority rights,

the promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination,

— public administration reform, including the establishment of a system enabling decentralisation of assistance management

This appropriation is also intended to cover costs incurred in connection with the training of national statisticians and the policy
of cooperation with the developing countries, the countries of central and eastern Europe and the southern Mediterranean coun-
tries; expenditure relating to exchanges of officials, the costs of information meetings, subsidies, expenditure in payment for
services rendered in connection with the adjustment of the remuneration of Community officials and other staff.

Also charged to this item is expenditure on the purchase of data and access for Commission departments to outside databanks.
In addition, funding should be used to develop new, modular techniques.

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
implementation of financial and budgetary policy (drawing-up of the budget and periodic review of the financial perspective)
and make it possible to compile medium and long-term data for Community financing.

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.

Any revenue from Swiss Confederation contribution to 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) of the
Financial Regulation. The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is globally
estimated at EUR 800 000.
