EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  

On  29  June  2007,  the  second  meeting  of  the  Ministerial  Council  of the  Energy  Community 
will take place.  

The  Ministerial  Council  of  the  Energy  Community  will  have  to  adopt  the  budget  which  is 
necessary for a smooth operation and functioning of the Energy Community. Under Article 88 
of  the  Energy  Community  Treaty,  acts  related  to  budgetary  issues  are  to  be  prepared  and 
submitted in the Energy Community by the European Commission. The budget of the Energy 
Community  shall  be  financed  by  means  of  subscriptions  by  the  parties  of  the  Energy 
Community Treaty, one of which is the European Community. 

In  November  2006,  during  the  Ministerial  Council  of  the  Energy  Community,  the 
Commission proposed a total budget of 2.45 Mio€ for 2007, out of which 2.4 Mio€ would be 
funded  by  the  Commission.  However,  following  a  detailed  analysis  on  the  needs  of  the 
Energy Community, the budget proposed has been reduced to an amount of 2.032 Mio€. 

As regards the financing of this budget, the following mechanism applies:  

The Commission and the Ministry of Employment and Industry of the Republic of Austria are 
parties  to  a  grant  contract  which  currently  finances  the  activities  of  the  interim  Energy 
Community Secretariat as an association according to Austrian law with a view to complete 
the full establishment of the Secretariat. The Energy Community itself is not member of this 
association. This grant contract financed through CARDS funds is due to expire on 30 June 
2007.  The  Government  of  the  Republic  of  Austria  signed  on  29  May  2007  a  Headquarters 
Agreement with the Energy Community on the legal status of the Secretariat following which 
it  shall  be  granted  the  legal  status  of  an  International  Organisation  as  of  1st  July  2007. 
Therefore, the year 2007 constitutes a transitional period for the Energy Community towards 
the full functioning of its Secretariat. The Energy Community itself can only receive directly 
the payments of the subscriptions of its members, once its Secretariat has obtained the legal 
status of an International Organisation as mentioned above according to Austrian law, i.e. as 
of the 1st July 2007.  

Based  on  the  mechanism  explained  above,  the  budget  suggested  hereafter  consists  of  two 
components:  

Component  1:  1-1-2007  until  30-6-2007:  costs  financed  by  EC  and  the  Austrian  Ministry 
through the existing grant contract. This part of the budget will be 100% financed by the two 
parties to the grant contract 

Component 2: 1-7-2007 until 31-12-2007, costs financed in accordance with Article 73 of the 
Treaty;  the  relevant  subscriptions  due  by  the  parties  of  the  Energy  Community  Treaty  shall 
apply, this means a share of 98.1% for the European Community 

Since  the  budget  has  to  be  adopted  during  the  Ministerial  meeting  on  29  June  2007,  it  is 
proposed that the Council adopts the attached proposal, which accepts the budget and entitles 
the Community to take a position on it.

COUNCIL DECISION 

on a Community position within the Ministerial Council of the Energy Community on 
the 2007 budget of the Energy Community 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  and  in  particular 
Article 300 paragraph 2, second subparagraph, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

The European Community is a Party to the Energy Community Treaty and Articles 74 
and  88  of  the  Energy  Community  Treaty  provide  that  the  Ministerial  Council  of  the 
Energy Community shall adopt the budget of the Energy Community by a Procedural 
Act on a proposal from the Commission.  

The  European  Commission  and  the  Ministry  of  Employment  and  Industry  of  the 
Republic  of  Austria  are  parties  to  a  grant  contract  which  currently  finances  the 
activities of the Energy Community Secretariat as an association according to Austrian 
law  with  a  view  to  complete  the  full  establishment  of  the  Secretariat.  The  Energy 
Community  itself  is  not  member  of  this  association.  This  grant  contract  financed 
through  CARDS  funds  is  due  to  expire  on  30  June  2007.  The  Government  of  the 
Republic  of  Austria  signed  on  29  May  2007  a  Headquarters  Agreement  with  the 
Energy  Community  on  the  legal  status  of  the  Secretariat  following  which  it  shall  be 
granted the legal status of an International Organisation as of 1st July 2007. Therefore, 
the year 2007 constitutes a transitional period for the Energy Community towards the 
full  functioning  of  its  Secretariat.  The  Energy  Community  itself  can  only  receive 
directly  the  payments  of  the  subscriptions  of  its  members  once  its  Secretariat  has 
obtained the legal status of an International Organisation as mentioned above, i.e. as of 
1st July 2007.  

(3) 

Based on the mechanism explained above, the budget proposed hereafter for the year 
2007 consists of two components:  

–  Component 1: 1-1-2007 until 30-6-2007: costs financed by the European Commission EC 
and  the  Ministry  of  Employment  and  Industry  of  the  Republic  of  Austria  through  the 
existing grant contract. This part of the budget will be 100% financed by the two parties to 
the grant contract; 

–  Component 2: 1-7-2007 until 31-12-2007, costs financed in accordance with Article 73 of 
the Treaty; the relevant subscriptions due by the parties of the Energy Community Treaty 
shall apply, this means a share of 98.1% for the European Community.
