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 euros and the accounts shall be presented in

euros.

— 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 totals EUR 129 149,66 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 120 346,76 million in
payment appropriations, representing growth rates of 2,19 % and 5,71 % respectively by comparison with the 2007 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 120 346,76 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3311 % whilst that for the GNI resource is
0,6440 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 15,58 % of the financing of the budget for
2008. The VAT resource accounts for 15,87 % and the GNI resource for 67,37 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at
EUR 1 425,00 million.

The own resources needed to finance the 2008 budget account for 0,94 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 % of GNI cal-
culated 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 Euro-
pean 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 2008 budget.

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 2008.

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 = 10 407 889 000 / (57 669 214 000 – 10 530 959 000) × 1/4 × 5 757 931 681 =
317 830 570

(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 = (5 757 931 681 – (317 830 570 + 85 611 179 + 37 261 421 + 45 504 460)) / (57 669 214 000 – (10 530 959 000
+ 10 407 889 000 + 2 803 480 000 + 1 220 187 000 + 1 490 119 000))

Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,168875772152444 % = 0,331124227847556 %

– 21 961 196

(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, 2005 and 2006, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations. 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.

Figures are net of 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), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1).

This article is intended for recording the income charged by new Member States in the event of non-elimination of sugar stocks
considered surplus within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004 laying down transi-
tional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hun-
gary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia (OJ L 9, 15.1.2004, p. 8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 115/2007 (OJ L 35,
8.2.2007, p. 5).

It is also 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), repealed by Regu-
lation (EC) No 318/2006 (OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1), abolished the storage levy.

This article also covers the outstanding 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), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 (OJ L 176, 30.6.2006, p. 22), when the obligation to store sugar carried for-
ward is not complied with and the amounts due according to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1789/81 of 30 June 1981 laying
down general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector (OJ L 177, 1.7.1981, p. 39), repealed by Regu-

tion levies intended 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 isoglucose producers in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Figures are net of collection costs.

(OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 (OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1).

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.

Figures are net of collection costs.

Article 15 of the Financial Regulation states that the balance from each financial year, whether surplus 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 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 Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

Article 127 of the Act of Accession of Greece provided that during the transitional period (1981 to 1985) a decreasing pro-
portion of the GNP-based financial contributions or of the VAT own resources paid by Greece into the general budget of the
European Communities should be refunded.

Only the corrections to the VAT balances for 1981 to 1985 entered in Chapter 3 1 may lead to adjustments of the financial
contributions made by Greece for the years in question.

Articles 187 and 374 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal provided that during the transitional period (1986 to 1991)
a decreasing proportion of the VAT own resources or of the GNP-based financial contributions paid by Spain and Portugal into
the general budget, but not including their share in financing the United Kingdom’s rebate, should be refunded.

With effect from 1988, Spain and Portugal also receive a refund of a proportion of their payments in respect of the additional
resource and their share in financing the United Kingdom’s rebate.

Only the adjustments to the VAT and GNP bases for 1986 to 1991 entered in Chapters 3 1 and 3 2 may lead to positive or
negative refunds to Spain and Portugal.

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 Decision 2003/76/EC, 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 took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2006 will be used for research in 2008.
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 2008 comes
to EUR 53 438 000.

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

In accordance with Articles 18 and 160(1a) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropria-
tions under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to enable studies to be contracted out to qualified experts in the fields of audit and also in those
of an administrative nature.

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.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 15 of the Financial Regulation, the balance from each financial year, whether sur-

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 follow-
ing financial year through an amending budget.

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

Remarks

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 Decision 2003/76/EC, 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 took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2006 will be used for research in 2008.
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 2008 comes
to EUR 53 438 000.

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

In accordance with Articles 18 and 160(1a) of the Financial Regulation, any revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations under Chapter 08 23 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 spe-
cial 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.

— removal expenses due to officials and temporary staff obliged to change their place of residence on taking up duty, on trans-

fer to a new place of employment and on finally leaving the institution and resettling elsewhere,

— 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,

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

A general description of the officials’ salaries and other benefits is given on the ‘Working at the Commission’ page of the Euro-
pean Commission’s Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration website.

The Council regulation updating the salary scales of officials and other servants of all the EU institutions, including increments
and allowances, is published every year in the Official Journal (latest adjustment in OJ L 340, 22.12.2007, p. 1).

The new posts for 2008 are part of the overall increase of 3 960 new staff over a transitional period from 2003 to 2008 in line
with a Commission estimate made in 2002. That estimate covers enlargement-related needs for the accession of the 10 new
Member States in May 2004. The new posts for 2008 are also part of the overall increase of 850 new staff over a transitional
period from 2006 to 2009 for the enlargement to include Bulgaria and Romania.

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 39 600 000.

Before releasing the appropriation, the Commission should provide the information below:

— the commitment of the Commission to carry out a study on ABM implementation before 30 April 2008 with the follow-

ing information for the budgetary authority:

— how the different components of the SPP-ABM cycle (APS, CLWP, AMP) can be better integrated with each other,

— how the integration of the SPP-ABM cycle with other cycles (HR cycle, risk management, evaluation) can be improved,

possibly via an integrated IT system,

— communication of a list of clear predetermined performance indicators to be used throughout the cycle in order to improve

performance management,

— the commitment of the Commission to present a follow-up to its report on ‘Planning and optimising Commission human
resources to serve EU priorities’ by 30 April 2008 which will highlight in particular a detailed breakdown of staff per cat-
egory, and by directorate-general, and the changes projected for the coming years,

— a communication by the Commission on the current situation and state of play concerning implementation of Point 44 of

the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.

Any revenue from the Swiss Confederation’s contribution for participation in Community programmes, entered under
Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at
EUR 1 190 000.

According to Eurobserver, energy-wood production in the EU Member States stood at 47,3 million tonnes of oil equivalent in
2000. Most (85 %) was used for heating; some was used for electricity production (29,6 TWh). Energy wood has a 6,3 % share
of EU primary energy production but accounts for no more than 2 % of total energy consumption in the EU. Energy wood is
the main renewable energy source in the EU and accounts for 54 % of primary energy production from renewable sources.
Added to that, only two thirds of the annual growth of the forests in the EU is utilised today.

At present, however, there is no regular supply of comprehensive, reliable statistics on the production and/or sale of wood, par-
ticularly heating wood, in Europe. The main repositories of statistics on wood resources are the government departments in
charge of agricultural matters in each Member State. However, there are major disparities in calculation and data collection meth-
ods and the way in which the statistics are used. Owing to these disparities, some estimates of European wood resources are
twice as high as others.

Lastly, it is extremely difficult to estimate the wood stocks held by retailers and private individuals. It is thus customary to assume
that energy-wood production is equal to its consumption, which is the same thing as deeming stock variations and the import-
export balance to be negligible.

The EU views energy wood and wood offcuts from tree felling, as well as third-generation renewable energy products, as a pri-
ority for future energy supply purposes, with a view to enhancing its energy independence and pursuing its sustainable devel-
opment strategy. The indicative target set for 2010 is to cover 12 % of gross domestic energy production from renewable
sources. This corresponds to approximately one million homes heated using wood (in private, collective or district heating
systems).

A reliable statistical tool is therefore needed that will enable an accurate estimate to be made of energy wood resources as against
overall wood resources, with a view to meeting the sustainable development objectives the EU has set itself.

The following studies should be financed:

— an annual report on child labour in the European Union,

— a study on the impact of job relocation,

— studies on the impact of new technologies in the workplace and on occupational illnesses, such as, for example, the impact

of repetitive movements when performing a task,

— a study on the benefits of removing the barriers to trade and investment between the EU and US, taking into account the

recent OECD study in this area,

— a study on the impact of the single currency on movements in prices of essential goods and bank fees and commission,

— 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,

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

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?

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

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,

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,

— a study on the efficiency and effectiveness of existing aviation security measures, taking into account the impact of those

measures on passengers,

— a study on the condition, and estimated cost of restoring, cultural heritage in the northern part of Cyprus. This study should
include, inter alia, a detailed description of each monument of significant cultural value (complemented by photographs
and sketches), a record of the damage that occurred, and a list of repairs that are necessary in order to preserve the original
status of the cultural monuments affected. The amount needed for the above study is estimated at EUR 500 000,

— a study to establish what the obstacles are to the creation of a federal police force for the European Union,

— a study on the emissions trading scheme (ETS). The study should present an assessment of the potential revenues that ETS
might generate and the mechanism to assign them in full or in part to the EU budget. The study should indicate the break-
down of emissions in the Member States and their relation to GDP. The study should also provide some options as to how
these appropriations can be allocated to policies to reduce emissions and combat poverty. The Commission should present
this study by October 2008 to contribute to the debate on the review of financial mechanisms after 2013,

College on 11 August 2004. The implementation of the communication strategy takes place in close coordination with the

This exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macroeconomic difficulties
characterised by balance of payment deficits and/or serious budgetary imbalances.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on Community financial instruments implemented in the framework of the
Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013), and to facilitate the access of SMEs to finance.

Poor access to appropriate forms of finance is frequently quoted as a main barrier to entrepreneurship and enterprise innova-
tion. This problem may be exacerbated by new accounting standards which will make banks more sensitive to risk and lead to
a rating culture. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme will address persistent recognised market gaps leading to poor
access to equity, venture capital and loans for SMEs, through Community Financial Instruments operated on behalf of the Com-
mission by the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Community’s specialised institution for providing venture capital and guar-
antee instruments for SMEs.

Under the Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, independent evaluations identified the market-based
approach and the implementation via the EIF of these instruments as a best practice. They will therefore be continued and
adapted in the new programme.

The Community Financial Instruments for SMEs will ease the supply of seed and early stage capital for innovative start-ups and
young companies.

The High Growth and Innovative SME Facility (GIF) will share risk and reward with private equity investors providing impor-
tant leverage for the supply of equity to innovative companies. The GIF instruments will increase the supply of development
equity for innovative SMEs in their early stages and in the expansion phase, leveraging ‘follow-on’ capital to help them bring
their products and services to market and continue research and development activities.

The SME Guarantee Facility will continue to provide counter or co-guarantees to guarantee schemes operating in eligible coun-
tries, and direct guarantees to financial intermediaries. It will concentrate on addressing market failures: (i) in the access of SMEs
with growth potential to loans (or loan substitutes such as leasing); (ii) in the provision of microcredit and (iii) in access to equity
or quasi-equity. A (iv) new securitisation window will mobilise additional debt financing for SMEs under appropriate risk-sharing
arrangements with the targeted institutions.

A Capacity Building Scheme will support the capacity of financial intermediaries to focus on additional investment and tech-
nology aspects. Action will also be undertaken to facilitate SME financing in countries where banking intermediation is signifi-
cantly lower than the EU average.

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 Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a number of financial institutions. The Community membership to
the EIF is determined by Decision 94/375/EC.

Article 3 of Decision 94/375/EC stipulates that the position of the Community on a possible increase in the capital of the EIF
and on its participation in that increase shall be decided unanimously by the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commis-
sion and after consulting the European Parliament.

Decision 2007/247/EC was adopted in April 2007. It approves Community participation in the 50 % increase in the nominal
capital of the EIF and proposes to maintain the level of the Community participation at 30 % by 2010.

The total subscribed share capital shall increase from EUR 2 000 000 000 to EUR 3 000 000 000 and, maintaining the current
paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 000 000 to EUR 600 000 000. The capital increase of the EIF was
endorsed within the framework of the EIB Group’s contribution to growth and jobs, which was welcomed by the Council meet-
ing (Ecofin) of 14 March 2006 and the European Council meeting of 23 and 24 March 2006.

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

Any revenue from dividends paid by the EIB during 2007 to 2013, 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.

Remarks

The Council has on several occasions (in 2000 and in March 2003) acknowledged the advantages of micro-finance for small
firms. The European Council has, for the first time, asked Member States to pay particular attention to using micro-credit to
foster the establishment and growth of small firms. Micro-credit was one of the focuses of the European multiannual programme
(MAP/2002 to 2006) financial instruments which the Council adopted in December 2001, defining ‘micro-loan’ as a loan of
less than EUR 25 000.

The Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (PIC), which has been in operation since 2006, also deals with micro-credit,
including under the second facility (SME Guarantee Facility). This facility, which is administered by the European Investment
Fund (EIF), seeks to encourage financial institutions to play a more important role in offering small loans, which normally carry
with them proportionally high loan management costs for borrowers unable to provide adequate security. In addition to guar-
antees and counter-guarantees, financial intermediaries are entitled to subsidies to reduce the high administrative costs associ-
ated with micro-loans.

The aim of this preparatory action is to foster the development of micro-credit in Europe, in line with the new Lisbon Agenda
growth and employment targets and the recommendations set out in the European Parliament resolution of 11 July 2007 on
financial services policy (2005 to 2010) — White Paper, with particular reference to the need for a micro-credit action plan.

The purpose of the preparatory action is to:

— ensure that the micro-credit business in Europe becomes self-financing in the medium term by building up the equity of
micro-finance institutions, particularly non-banking institutions. The project could be administered by the EIF, the EU finan-
cial institution which specialises in SME and micro-enterprise funding and which also administers the Community finan-
cial instruments,

— foster greater synergy between existing financial instruments covering inter-related areas (CIP, JEREMIE, ERDF, EDF),

— foster social inclusion through entrepreneurship and the economic growth it brings. Associations working with less-

favoured groups may be recipients of the funding made available.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) 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), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).

Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative
activities; fostering eco-innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing inno-
vative business services, facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; and promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-
innovation in fields such as environmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and
services, taking into account their whole life cycle.

The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or
eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated
with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote
their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

— market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation,

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.

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

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.

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

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

The Commission is requested to provide information on the actions undertaken or planned to be taken to overcome imple-
mentation difficulties. This information should be presented at forthcoming trialogue meetings. This is in line with the Joint
Statement of the European Parliament and the Commission to ensure proper budget implementation (OJ C 317 E, 23.12.2006,
p. 597).

This action should ensure that experience is exchanged and reinforced at European level for the benefit of young entrepreneurs
and potential young entrepreneurs by means of traineeships in another country within SMEs in key or complementary sectors.
The action should be based on preliminary analysis of the demand (i.e. young entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs) and
supply side (i.e. SMEs) exploring existing needs. The traineeships for young entrepreneurs should seek to foster the pooling of
experience and enhance the development, validation and exploitation of business ideas. It should promote the creation of net-
works among young entrepreneurs beyond borders and encourage the creation of partnerships allowing knowledge e-sharing
in key sectors and increased internationalisation of companies. Provision should be made for ancillary activities (support for
language learning, and courses in European contracts and commercial law, the common market, European standardisation, Euro-
pean support tools, as well as the local business environment). The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and
industry, craft associations) should help to support, co-ordinate and promote this programme at national level.

Pilot project to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs and very small enterprises (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 knowledge 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 man-
agers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) by means of traineeships and training courses within SMEs in key or complemen-
tary sectors. The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry and craft associations) will be responsible
for supporting and promoting 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 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.

The project’s aims are to:

— enhance visibility of the emerging European tourist destinations of excellence, especially the lesser known,

— create awareness of Europe’s tourist diversity and quality,

— promote all European countries and regions,

— help decongestion, combat seasonality, and rebalance the tourist flows towards the non-traditional destinations,

— present awards for sustainable forms of tourism,

— create a platform for the exchange of good practices at European level,

— promote networking between awarded-winning destinations which could persuade other destinations to adopt sustainable

tourism development models.

Each year, destinations in the Member States will be designated European Destinations of Excellence according to the selected
theme. Candidate countries will also be invited to participate in the process.

This appropriation is intended to cover the progressive operational implementation of Global Monitoring for Environment and
Security (GMES) services, starting by organising and setting up an operational service of ‘rapid mapping’ for risks linked to the
security of citizens. This will allow research efforts to come to operational fruition in the specific case of a rapid mapping ser-
vice in support of civil protection bodies and humanitarian aid in the emergency response phase.

The service is conceived as a support for intervention, in Europe and outside Europe, by civil protection bodies, humanitarian
aid actors and other potential users. They will have access to reference and rapid assessment mapping on crisis areas within
respectively six and 24 hours after the disaster or crisis occurs. Services provided by this preparatory action will be available to
Commission services based on a governance structure to be developed.

This action is expected to have a unifying role with a view to gradually moving all GMES services from purely research activities
towards market innovation.

Remarks

The development of energy-saving techniques and renewable energy use is an issue of major importance to the building indus-
try. With 2,5 million firms, a turnover of more than EUR 1 200 billion and a workforce of 12 million people, 9,7 million of
whom are waged employees, the building industry generates 10 % of the EU’s GDP. 99 % of building firms are SMEs (with fewer
than 250 employees), which generate 78 % of the industry’s turnover. Increased use of eco-technologies and eco-innovations in
the building trade is, however, dependent on a combination of factors, such as additional cost, product availability, consumer
demand and skill levels within firms.

Another major problem hampering more widespread use of these new technologies is access to insurance by building firms,
particularly the smaller firms which, in Europe, make up more than 90 % of the building industry. Owing in particular to their
size and financial base, small firms find it difficult to insure construction or renovation work involving the use of new tech-
nologies (solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, etc.). In practice, this acts as a barrier to the spread of eco-technologies by small firms,
which account for more than 60 % of production in Europe. The difficulties which self-employed builders and small building
firms experience in obtaining insurance covering new eco-technologies is clearly acting as a barrier to more widespread use of
those technologies.

The European Union therefore needs to introduce an instrument that will provide effective support for small building firms,
which are of central importance to the attainment of the EU’s targets for the use of renewable energy (20 % of gross internal
consumption by 2020).

The aim of this project is therefore to bring to bear a Community financial instrument that will, over a limited period, make it
easier for small building firms to gain access to construction insurance when using eco-technologies in building projects.

The budget heading, which could come under the operational management of the EIF, should be subject to strict conditions for
the disbursement of funds for specific insurance companies in order to facilitate the provision of insurance cover to building
firms using eco-technologies. The project would therefore be based on the same formula as existing Community schemes to
foster the development of SMEs and innovation (risk capital/loan guarantees).

Small firms would not, of course, receive Community funding directly; instead the support would be provided through insur-
ance cover, supplementary insurance cover or a reinsurance scheme. The scheme to facilitate access to construction insurance
by small firms could be subject to various provisos, such as:

— only firms below a given size and turnover would be eligible,

— only specific types of work (involving eco-technologies) and specific contracts or projects of a limited size would be covered,

— only limited or flat-rate cover for claims would be provided.

Overall objectives

The Commission’s objective in this area is to enforce the competition rules under 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.
Introducing competition into markets creates conditions that promote knowledge and innovation, in turn contributing to the EU’s competitive-
ness and the creation of more and better jobs. Transparency and predictability, competition enforcement, guidance and advocacy contribute to
making Europe a more attractive place in which to invest and work.

The Directorate-General for Competition has defined three multi-annual general objectives that will allow it to continue making a significant con-
tribution to achieving the Commission’s strategic objectives as defined in the Community Lisbon Programme:

— to focus action on key sectors for the internal market and the Lisbon agenda,

— to focus enforcement actions on the most harmful anti-competitive practices for the European economy,

— to enhance competitiveness within the EU by helping to shape the regulatory framework.

The expected impact of these three general objectives is to contribute to increased competition in the common market, increased consumer wel-
fare and enhanced competitiveness of European industry.

COMMISSION
TITLE 03 — COMPETITION

CHAPTER 03 03 — CARTELS, ANTI-TRUST AND LIBERALISATION (cont’d)

03 03 02 (cont’d)

The Commission’s decisions are subject to review by the Court of Justice in accordance with the Treaty.

As a prudential measure, it is appropriate to take into account the possibility of budgetary implications stemming from rulings
of the Court of Justice or the Court of First Instance.

This appropriation is intended to cover any expenditure originated by damages awarded by the Court to claimants and resulting
from legal proceedings against the Commission’s decisions in the field of competition.

As a reasonable estimate of the financial impact on the EU budget cannot be established beforehand, a token entry (‘p.m.’)
appears in this article. If necessary, the Commission will propose to make available the appropriations related to actual needs by
means of transfers or through a preliminary draft amending budget.

Legal basis

Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and derived legislation, notably:

— 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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1419/2006 (OJ L 269,
28.9.2006, p. 1).

— Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (the EC

Merger Regulation) (OJ L 24, 29.1.2004, p. 1).

Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and derived legislation, notably:

— Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of
the EC Treaty (OJ L 83, 27.3.1999, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1791/2006 (OJ L 363, 20.12.2006, 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 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 con-
sultations, 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 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 cross-cutting.

On the basis of these objectives, two subprogrammes have been established:

— support for European social dialogue,

— improvement of expertise in industrial relations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on information and training measures for workers’ organisations, including
representatives of workers’ organisations in the candidate countries, deriving from the implementation of Community action
on the social dimension of the internal market, including gender equality issues, and monetary union. These measures should
help workers’ organisations to contribute to the goals of the Lisbon strategy.

In addition, this appropriation covers support for the work programmes of the two specific trade union institutes, ETUI-REHS
(European Trade Union Institute — Research, Education, Health and Safety) and EZA (European Centre for Workers’ Ques-
tions), which have been established to facilitate capacity building through training and research at European level, as well as to
improve the degree of involvement of workers’ representatives in European governance.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance measures involving representatives of workers’ organisations in the candidate
countries, a large proportion of which should go to women representatives.

This appropriation is intended to cover funding operations in order to ensure the conditions for fostering the development of
employee involvement in undertakings by promoting Directives 94/45/EC and 97/74/EC on European works councils, Direc-
tives 2001/86/EC and 2003/72/EC on employee involvement in the European Company and European Cooperative Society,
respectively, Directive 2002/14/EC establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European

This appropriation covers, in particular, the funding of measures aimed at strengthening transnational cooperation between
workers’ and employers’ representatives in respect of information, consultation and participation within undertakings operat-
ing in more than one Member State.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended, for completion of the internal market and implementation of the European employment strat-
egy, to cover the implementation and operation of the EURES network.

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 Directorates-General for Educa-
tion 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 EURES advisers and cooperation between government employment services, including those of candi-

date 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 also accessible for disabled people 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.

This appropriation is also to be used to set up and run specific cooperation and service structures for border areas.

This heading is also intended to fund measures to provide information for seasonal or short-term workers in Member States
other than their countries of origin.

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives to promote active ageing, including access to the labour market in accordance
with the goals of:

— the Lisbon European Council of 23 and 24 March 2000, which set up the strategic goal for the next decade of becoming
the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with
more and better jobs and greater social cohesion,

— the Barcelona European Council of 15 and 16 March 2002, which called for a progressive increase in the effective average

age at which people stop working in the European Union,

— the Stockholm European Council of 23 and 24 March 2001, which called upon the Council and the Commission to report

jointly on how to increase labour force participation and promote active ageing,

— Article 2 of the Treaty, which calls for a high level of employment, the raising of the standard of living and quality of life

as well as economic and social cohesion and solidarity among Member States,

— Council Decision 2003/578/EC of 22 July 2003 on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (OJ L 197,
5.8.2003, p. 13), which recalls the Lisbon and Stockholm targets and the demographic challenge for the employment rate
for older women and men. Guideline 5 specifically refers to increasing the labour supply and promoting active ageing,

— Council Recommendation 2003/579/EC of 22 July 2003 on the implementation of Member States’ employment policies
(OJ L 197, 5.8.2003, p. 22), which identifies certain actions to be taken with regard to the labour supply and active ageing.

It is also intended to finance measures to encourage the establishment of exchange programmes for the elderly through spe-
cialised organisations tasked with developing, inter alia, resources for mobility and adapting infrastructures, including within
travel, in accordance with the contents of the:

— European Parliament resolution of 11 April 2002 on the second United Nations World Assembly on Ageing (Madrid, 8
to 12 April 2002) (OJ C 127 E, 29.5.2003, p. 675), which stressed the importance of promoting programmes encouraging
mobility for the elderly, and in particular paragraphs 13 and 14 thereof,

— European Parliament resolution of 15 December 2000 on the Commission communication ‘Towards a Europe for all ages

— Promoting prosperity and intergenerational solidarity’ (OJ C 232, 17.8.2001, p. 381).

High-quality health services and increased longevity in EU countries are shifting focus in economic policy from social protec-
tion issues to the involvement of elderly people in different activities. Preparatory actions are needed to find the most efficient
policy tools for solving this problem.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June on the

Pursuant to Article 145 of the Treaty, the European Parliament can ask the Commission to draw up reports on problems con-
cerning the social situation. The Commission is called on to produce each year a report on the social situation, including spe-
cific 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 context of a society for all ages, in terms of trends in needs, behaviour

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 the links between disability and demographic trends, analysis of the social situation of disabled people and their

families and the needs of children with disabilities within their families and communities,

This appropriation is intended to support the implementation of the European Employment Strategy (EES) by:

— improving understanding of the employment situation and prospects, in particular through analysis and studies and the

development of statistics and common indicators in the framework of the EES,

05 01 04 08 (cont’d)

In Europe, soil degradation and erosion is probably the most significant environmental problem caused by conventional agri-
culture, seriously affecting close to 157 m ha (16 % of Europe, i.e. almost three times the total area of France). The average soil
erosion rate in Europe (17 tonnes per ha per year) is much higher than the average soil formation rate (1 tonne per ha per year).
Most European Union countries are affected by this problem. In the Mediterranean regions, soil erosion is highly pronounced
and may affect up to 50 to 70 % of agricultural land. Intensification of conventional agriculture (increased mechanisation
and ploughing) over the last 50 years has contributed to this trend, increasing the risk of desertification in most vulnerable
regions. Erosion has a major economic impact on the agricultural land concerned, but also on local public infrastructure because
of the cost of maintaining water systems and water treatment.

There is reduced biodiversity in conventional agriculture because soil left bare for a lengthy period no longer provides food and
shelter for wildlife at critical times. However, production systems which leave surface residues help to restore and maintain vari-
ous types of wildlife (e.g. birds and small mammals).

Sustainable agriculture is a set of techniques designed to allow farming to take place on a lasting basis from a physical, social,
economic and environmental perspective.

Simplified cultivation techniques are the core component; they are techniques aimed at better soil conservation (or conserva-
tion agriculture). Conservation agriculture refers to a set of soil management practices which minimise alteration of the com-
position, structure and natural biodiversity of soil, safeguarding it against erosion and degradation. These techniques combine
surface working techniques, mulch sowing, direct sowing, non-incorporation of crop residues and vegetation cover in forestry
(spontaneous vegetation or vegetation resulting from the sowing of appropriate species).

Over and above the purely environmental aspect, the economic aspect of conservation agriculture techniques is another major
factor to be taken into account. Cultivation within conventional agriculture calls for a high level of machinery investment and
maintenance, a high level of fossil energy consumption and considerable working time by comparison with conservation agri-
culture. For annual growing without ploughing, for instance, fuel savings over conventional systems are put at three to five litres
per ha. In general, conservation agriculture reduces energy consumption by about 15 to 50 %, increasing production per energy
unit by 25 to 100 %.

Rural development planning action for 2007 to 2013 affords a unique opportunity to make headway with these techniques.
The pilot project could cover know-how dissemination activities, this being a fundamental component of the project. One of
the basic objectives is to foster knowledge of these techniques so that future EU legislation can be easily applied.

The aim of the proposed Convention is to offer — at the time of the mid-term reviews of EU programmes in 2008 to 2009 —
recommendations on policy frameworks and measures which will foster a sustainable approach to the future of urban and rural
areas in Europe, achieved through effective partnership between governments and civil society.

The Convention is designed to bring together rural and urban interests, mainly through a series of thematic seminars based in
different European regions, to focus together on the means by which European and national programmes can be used so as to
maximise the mutual benefit of urban and rural areas in a truly sustainable way.

It is envisaged that each seminar will focus on one or more of a series of major themes or issues within the broad context of
sustainability: either general issues, which apply equally to urban and rural areas, such as demographic and climate change,
energy efficiency, food security, natural resources management, biological and cultural diversity, cohesion and social inclusion,
constructive dialogue between citizens and governments; or specifically urban or rural issues, such as rapid population growth
or competition for land, loss of social services or narrow local economies. Particular focus will be on the interdependence of
cities and rural areas and on overarching regional solutions.

The process should reach a climax at a Convention gathering, preferably in autumn 2008, with the following main outputs:

— a statement of a vision for a sustainable future for urban and rural areas in Europe,

— vivid descriptive material related to ‘good practice’ examples of action contributing to a sustainable future for urban and

rural areas,

— an assessment of how well suited the current policy frameworks and measures appear to be for achieving that vision and

promoting the widespread application of good practice,

— proposals for changes in policy frameworks and measures that appear to merit consideration at the mid-term review of EU

programmes in 2008 to 2009.

These events, and these outputs, will be aimed at decision-makers in all sectors and at European, national and regional level.
The challenge will be to turn these many groups into not merely target audiences, but active participants in the Convention
process. The proposed Convention will be jointly initiated by a group of partner organisations, which represent different sides
of this major urban/rural issue and which share a commitment to focus on how cities and rural regions can work together to
achieve a sustainable future for both sides.

Remarks

This item figures in the budget only for the purpose of comparison of agricultural expenditure with earlier years. It was previ-
ously intended to cover amounts recovered following irregularities related to rural development measures financed by the
EAGGF Guarantee section, which is now recorded as assigned revenue under Item 6 7 0 2 of the general statement of revenue
according to Articles 18 and 180 of the Financial Regulation.

Rural development financed by the EAGGF Guidance Section — Completion of earlier programmes

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 from Article 24 02 01.

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.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for collecting and processing information of
all kinds needed for the analysis, definition, promotion, monitoring, evaluation and implementation of the Community’s com-
mon transport policy, in order to strengthen passengers’ rights and give passengers greater protection.

The measures to be funded will concern:

— preparation of the legislation required to promote passenger rights for each mode of transport, taken individually or

collectively,

— preparation and implementation of measures to ensure fair conditions of competition between operators both within the

same mode and between different modes,

— alignment and integration of the master plans for each mode of transport,

— collection and publication of information on the quality of transport services,

— action to support representation of passengers’ interests,

— promotion of transport systems and legislation for people with reduced mobility,

— support for actions to promote passenger rights.

Experience has shown that, despite the EU regulations and directives in force, passengers are not sufficiently informed of their
rights. It is therefore necessary, as a matter of urgency, to launch information campaigns to make passengers aware of those
rights.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to interna-
tional road haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo II’.

The Marco Polo II programme proposes five kinds of measures to achieve its objectives:

— modal transfer actions to transfer, in the short term, a major share of road traffic to other less saturated transport modes,

— catalyst actions which enable structural market barriers to be overcome through the implementation of new innovative

services,

TITLE 06 — ENERGY AND TRANSPORT

— common learning actions with a view to improving cooperation, sharing of know-how and knowledge development in the

logistics industry,

— actions to provide high-quality logistic services based on short sea shipping which will be comparable to motorways and

therefore called ‘motorways of the sea’,

— traffic avoidance actions involving an active role for manufacturing industry and logistics systems within one coherent strat-

egy to develop sustainable operations.

The transport infrastructure networks of the newest Member States are not at this stage in a position to serve the increased post-
enlargement trade flows; in such cases intermodal transport solutions constitute the best response and there is thus huge scope
for Marco Polo II as a continuation and strengthening of the successful Marco Polo I programme.

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 II 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.

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

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 (Deci-
sion 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.

Part of this appropriation is intended to promote cooperation in the Baltic Sea regions and the Northern Dimension projects.

Co-financing of the deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) must be a high priority.

Special attention must be paid to cross-border rail projects that contribute to better connections between old and new Member
States and the reunification of Europe.

Funds for 2007 have been placed in the reserve until a satisfactory agreement is reached with the Council and/or Commission
on how to maintain political control over the allocation of funds.

To the appropriations entered in this article for the SESAR project must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pur-
suant 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 corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expen-
diture of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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 greater secu-
rity of energy supply through the establishment of the network infrastructure required, and in particular through the establish-
ment and development of trans-European energy networks, promoting the interconnection and interoperability of the national
networks and access to such networks and extending them beyond the Community.

All proposals will be subject to environmental impact assessment and local consultation.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for collecting and processing information of
all kinds needed for the analysis, definition, promotion, monitoring, evaluation and implementation of the Community’s com-
mon energy policy, in order to strengthen users’ rights and give users greater protection.

The measures to be funded will concern:

— preparation of the legislation required to promote users’ rights in connection with energy, taken individually or collectively,

— preparation and implementation of measures to ensure fair conditions of competition between energy undertakings,

— collection and publication of information on the quality of energy services,

— action to support representation of energy users’ interests,

— support for actions to promote energy users’ rights, especially transparency and comparability of prices.

In the context of the prospects for the internal market in gas and electricity, there is a vital need for an information campaign,
a website and a toll-free number which energy consumers can call to ask questions, obtain information or seek advice.

Remarks

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

These appropriations will be used for the seventh framework programme of the European Community for research, techno-
logical development and demonstration activities, which covers the period 2007 to 2013.

It will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives described in Article 163 of the Treaty, in order to contribute to
the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all
levels throughout the EU, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge,
strengthening human resources for research and for technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively and research and
innovation capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring optimum use thereof.

It will be organised in programmes corresponding to four major objectives of European research policy: transnational coop-
eration on topics defined in relation to policies (cooperation), research proposed by the research workers themselves, on the
initiative of the research workers community (ideas), individual research workers’ support (people), and the support for research
capacities.

2007 constituted the first year of effective implementation of this programme, the objectives of which are based on carrying
out of the sixth framework programme for the creation of the European Research Area, and are its extension while taking for-
ward the development of the economy and the knowledge society in Europe.

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.

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

ronmentally friendly and competitive (including in the context of urban mobility),

— focusing on research in the areas of traffic prevention, the mitigation of transport-related climate change, methods of cal-
culating more accurately the external costs of transport and access to means of transport and infrastructure for persons of
reduced mobility,

— implementing the technological component of the single European sky policy (SESAR),

— rebalancing and integrating the different modes of transport,

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

— definition of common indicators, methods and security objectives for the transport sector and collection of the data nec-

essary for such definition,

— monitoring of measures taken on transport security by the Member States, in all modes,

— international coordination on transport security,

— promoting research into transport security.

This appropriation is also intended in particular to cover expenditure on the establishment and operation of a corps of inspec-
tors to check security at airport and port installations in the Member States, including extension to third countries. This expen-
diture includes the subsistence allowances and travel expenses of the Commission inspectors and the expenses of inspectors from
the Member States, borne in accordance with the provisions laid down in the regulations. To these costs must be added, in par-
ticular, the costs for training inspectors, for preparatory meetings and for the supplies needed for inspections.

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for measures and projects contributing to the implementation, updat-
ing and development of Community environmental policy and legislation, including the integration of the environment into
other policies, thereby contributing to sustainable development. In particular, LIFE+ shall support the implementation of the
‘Sixth Environmental Action Programme’, including the thematic strategies, and finance measures and projects with European
added value in three priority areas: nature and biodiversity, environment policy and governance, and information and
communication.

At least 78 % of appropriations shall be used for action grants to projects, of which at least 50 % for projects supporting the
conservation of nature and biodiversity. Projects to be supported shall be selected following a call for proposals. Projects sup-
ported shall be of Community interest, technically and financially coherent, and feasible and shall provide value for money.

The projects supported through action grants shall meet one of the following criteria to ensure European added value and avoid
financing recurring activities:

— best practice or demonstration projects for the implementation of Directive 79/409/EEC or Directive 92/43/EEC, or

— innovative or demonstration projects relating to Community environmental objectives, including the development or dis-

semination of best practice techniques, know-how or technologies, or

— awareness-raising campaigns and special training for staff involved in fire prevention operations, or

— projects for the development and implementation of Community objectives relating to the broad-based, harmonised, com-

prehensive and long-term monitoring of forests and environmental interactions.

Measures supported by the LIFE+ programme shall cover, inter alia:

— support for independent and non-profit-making non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which contribute to the devel-

opment and implementation of Community environmental policy and legislation,

— support for the Commission’s role in initiating environment policy development and implementation, through studies and
evaluations, seminars and workshops with experts and stakeholders, networks and computer systems, information, pub-
lication and dissemination activities, including events, exhibitions and similar awareness-raising measures.

The projects and measures financed by LIFE+ may be implemented through grants or procurement procedures and may consist
of:

— studies, surveys, modelling and scenario building,

— monitoring, including the monitoring of forests,

— monitoring of soils affected by pesticides,

— capacity-building assistance,

— training, workshops and meetings, including the training of agents participating in forest fire prevention initiatives,

— networking and best practice platforms,

— information and communication actions, including awareness raising campaigns and, in particular, public awareness cam-

paigns on forest fires,

— demonstration of innovative policy approaches, technologies, methods and instruments,

This appropriation is intended to fund a project which will develop and establish (1) a complementary participatory coastal com-
munication system and (2) a cooperative coastal risk protection and management system for Member States in the Baltic Sea
region and in particular the Baltic States themselves, whose 50 years under occupation excluded them from normal develop-
ment processes, as a result of which there is a disparity in terms of development with older Member States. Coastal sustainabil-
ity practice (including integrated applications) is to be actively re-enhanced and non-traditional innovations explored and fleshed
out, tested and disseminated not only in relation to established implementation methods, i.e. not only vertically and horizon-
tally across management levels, but also with particular attention being paid to developing new methodologies for participatory
communication and cooperation, thus increasing coastal awareness and behaviour development among all stakeholders.

— draw up a schedule of Member State emergency teams and logistical resources which can be mobilised in a contingency

situation,

— develop standardised communication and information mechanisms in order to make assistance more effective and
exchange information on best practices and best equipment and on drawing up operation plans for using both technical
and human contingency resources.

Legal basis

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a preparatory action on an EU rapid response capability designed to respond immedi-
ately to critical needs arising from major disasters, including forest fires. It may consist of dedicated civil protection modules
that Member States make available for European civil protection intervention and/or additional complementary capacities made
available by the Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC) through standing arrangements with other parties.

By ensuring that key resources and essential equipment are on standby during relevant periods, in line with scenarios for
responding to major disasters, this preparatory action is intended to enhance Europe’s collective preparedness for major disas-
ters and paves the way for the EU Civil Protection Force.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002

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 Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 Decem-
ber 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework
Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom)
No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under
the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011)
(OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

COMMISSION
TITLE 08 — RESEARCH

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 Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in
compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological
development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, 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. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of rev-
enue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

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 21 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation,
more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic
programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress
towards this ultimate goal. To this end, the European Organisation for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy, in the form
of a Joint Undertaking will be established. This European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy
(Fusion for Energy) will have the following tasks:

(a)

to provide the contribution of Euratom to the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation;

(b)

to provide the contribution of Euratom to broader approach activities with Japan for the rapid realisation of fusion energy;

(c)

to implement a programme of activities in preparation for the construction of a demonstration fusion reactor and related
facilities including the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF).

Remarks

The actions carried out in the area of health are intended to improve the health of the European public and boost the competi-
tiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in Europe, while at the same time addressing world health prob-
lems, including new epidemics. The emphasis will be on translational research (transposing basic findings into clinical
applications), developing and validating new treatments, identifying ways of promoting health and preventing illness, diagnos-
tic tools and technologies for making diagnoses, as well as sustainable and effective healthcare systems. Special attention will be
given to communicating research findings and to the initiation of a dialogue with civil society, in particular patient groups, at
as early a stage as possible in new developments produced by biomedical and genetics research.

Funding may be given to clinical research on many diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, auto-immunity and infectious
diseases, allergic diseases, epilepsy, trauma, rheumatic diseases, respiratory system diseases and mental and neurological dis-
eases, in particular those linked to ageing, such as osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, or to disabilities and
‘dys’ conditions).

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

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help establish the integrated scientific and technological bases needed to
develop a European ‘Knowledge-based bioeconomy’ by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders. Three pillars
support this approach: (1) sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic envi-
ronments; (2) fork to farm: food, health and well being, and (3) life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food prod-
ucts and processes. This way new and emerging research opportunities can be exploited that address social and economic
challenges, such as the growing demand for environmentally friendly systems of production and distribution of safer, healthier
and higher quality food in line with consumer requirements and control of food-related risks, relying in particular on biotech-
nology tools, as well as health risks associated with environmental changes.

This appropriation is also intended to fund the development and improvement of analysis methods (e. g. residue analysis in food
and feedingstuffs).

This appropriation is further intended to fund the development and improvement of the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) con-
cept as a policy instrument for sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and the development of a policy concept restrict-
ing discard of by-catches.

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.

Since, under current legislation, no specific funds are earmarked for fisheries research, at least the same percentage share will be
maintained for fisheries research as under the 2007 budget.

Remarks

Environmental research within the Seventh Framework Programme will be implemented through the ‘Environment (including
climate change)’ theme. The objective is to promote sustainable management of the natural and human environment and its
resources by advancing our knowledge of the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities, and devel-
oping new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in an integrated way global environmental issues. Emphasis will
be put on prediction of climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes, on tools and technologies, for monitoring, pre-
vention and mitigation of environmental pressures and risks including on human health and for the sustainability of the natural
and man-made environment.

Research on this theme will contribute to the implementation of international commitments and initiatives such as Global Earth
Observation (GEO). In addition, it will support the research needs arising from the existing and emerging EU legislation and
policies, associated thematic strategies and the action plans on environmental technologies and on environment and health.
Research will also contribute technological developments that will improve the market positioning of European enterprises, in
particular of SMEs, in areas such as environmental technologies.

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

Remarks

For the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for the period 2007 to 2013, an integrated approach has been proposed which
links all transport modes (aeronautics, road, rail, waterborne), addresses the socio-economic and technological dimensions of
research and knowledge development, and encapsulates both innovation and the policy framework. It is in line with the White
Paper on transport and the updated versions of the strategic research agendas of the four technology platforms in the field of
transport. Based on technological advances, the general objective is to develop integrated, ‘greener’, ‘smarter’ and safer pan-
European transport systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; and
securing and further developing the competitiveness and the leading role attained by the European industries in the global
market.

The objective of RSFF is to foster private investment in research by improving access to debt financing for participants in large
European research projects. RSFF will enable the European Investment Bank to expand, directly and indirectly (via its network
of intermediary banks), its portfolio of loans to participants in such projects.

RSFF will contribute to the implementation of the Lisbon strategy, in particular to the achievement of the 3 % investment in
research objective, by helping overcome market deficiencies, increasing the total amount of funds available for research and
diversifying its sources.

Remarks

Europe needs to become more attractive to researchers, in order to increase Europe’s capacity and performance in research and
technological development and to consolidate and further develop the European Research Area. Against the background of
growing competition at world level, the development of an open and competitive European labour market for researchers with
diversified, attractive career prospects is needed.

The value added of the support provided in the People programme is the promotion of mobility, both trans-national and inter-
sectoral, the structuring effect throughout the EU on the organisation, performance and quality of research training, on the active
career development of researchers, and on knowledge sharing through researchers between sectors and research organisations,
and on a strong participation of women.

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

The general objective of the international cooperation activities carried out under the ‘Capacities’ heading of the Seventh Frame-
work Programme is to help create a strong and coherent European Community science-and-technology policy by developing
strategic partnerships with third countries and by addressing the specific problems of third countries as well as global ones. These
activities will involve the following groups of third countries: the candidate countries, associated and industrialised countries, as
well as international cooperation partner countries (Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, African, Caribbean
and Pacific countries, Mediterranean partner countries and countries in the Western Balkans).

The objective of RSFF is to foster private investment in research by improving access to debt financing for participants in Euro-
pean research infrastructures. RSFF will enable the European Investment Bank to expand, directly and indirectly (via its network
of intermediary banks), its portfolio of loans to participants in such infrastructures.

RSFF will contribute to the implementation of the Lisbon strategy, in particular to the achievement of the 3 % investment in
research objective, by helping overcome market deficiencies, increasing the total amount of funds available for research and
diversifying its sources.

Increasing investment in research and development up to the 3 % objective and improving its effectiveness is a top priority under
the Lisbon strategy for growth and employment. Thus, the development of a coherent mix of policies to leverage public and
private research investments is a major concern for public authorities. Actions under this heading will support the development
of effective and coherent research policies at regional, national and Community level, through the provision of structured infor-
mation, indicators and analysis, and through actions aimed at coordination of research policies, in particular application of the
open method of coordination to research policy.

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress
towards this ultimate goal. The realisation of the ITER project therefore lies at the heart of the present EU strategy. It must be
accompanied by a strong and focused European R & D programme to prepare for the exploitation of ITER and to develop the
technologies and knowledge base that will be needed during ITER operation and beyond.

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 main objectives are as follows: to promote
and monitor 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 i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs
by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost 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 to step up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improve 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 audiovisual
media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating synergies
between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

Remarks

This action is geared, in a balanced manner, to the implementation of operational and technical measures designed to promote
safer use of the Internet and new online technologies, particularly for children, and to fight against illegal content and content
unwanted by the end user. In line with this, the programme will focus on the end user, particularly parents, educators and
children.

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,

Remarks

The ICT PSP is one of the three specific programmes under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).
It is a new legal instrument in the context of the 2007 to 2013 financial framework.

Actions will be stepped up at EU level for stimulating wider uptake of ICTs. Synergistic actions at EU level aim to reduce uncer-
tainties and risks of duplication by sharing and replicating experiences and lessons learned and foster the internal market dimen-
sion of services triggered by ICTs promoting interoperability and combating fragmentation. They aim also to stimulate the
regulatory and technological environments necessary to promote innovation and to overcome potential barriers (e.g. cultural,
linguistic, technical, legal and disability- or ‘dys’ condition-related).

The ICT Policy Support programme shall provide for the following actions:

(a) development of the single European information space and strengthening of the internal market for ICT products and

services;

(b)

stimulation of innovation through a wider adoption of and investment in ICTs;

(c) development of an inclusive information society and more efficient and effective services in areas of public interest, and
improvement of the quality of life, particularly for disabled persons and persons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions (dyslexia,
dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.).

COMMISSION
TITLE 09 — INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

CHAPTER 09 03 — I2010 — ICT TAKE-UP (cont’d)

09 03 01 (cont’d)

This will be done in particular by supporting the development and use of digital content (1) and the development of ICT-based
services in areas of public interest, including in the areas of eHealth, eGovernment, eInclusion, eParticipation, education and
learning and environment. The ICT in the CIP will ensure also that European businesses and in particular SMEs can benefit from
the new opportunities brought by the increasing demand for these ICT based services.

The main part of the support will go to a limited number of high-impact pilot projects per year. Accompanying measures, such
as best practice actions to spread knowledge and thematic networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders around specific
objectives, will be also launched. They will be complemented by the monitoring of the European information society, by mea-
sures providing the background knowledge that is needed for policy decision-making, and by actions for promoting and raising
awareness of the benefits brought by ICT to citizens, businesses (in particular SMEs) or public 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-

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.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

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, spatial data and educational, cultural and scientific content — facilitating
the creation and dissemination of information and knowledge at 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 businesses, 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 dif-
ferent platforms, and is better tailored to the specific needs of the user.

(1) During a transition phase for 2007 and 2008, this will be done under the eContent plus programme, which will continue to have its own legal basis.

Remarks

The objective of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) theme of the cooperation programme is to enable
Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use
and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens — particularly disabled persons and per-
industry and
sons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.) — and businesses,
governments.

The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and
provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications.

The activities will leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of impor-
tant ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from improvements of
organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme will also support other policies of the European
Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities will cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme
coordination initiatives. The work programmes will specify the funding schemes (collaborative projects, networks of excellence,
coordination and support actions, etc.) to be used for the topics on which proposals are invited, based on the different forms of
Community grants (reimbursement of eligible costs, lump sum financing, flat rates).

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and semi-
nars 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 mea-
sures under previous framework programmes.

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, as well as contributions from third countries associated with the seventh framework pro-
gramme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

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 for 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 Article 09 04 02.

Remarks

Investing in knowledge is the best way for Europe to foster sustainable growth in a global economy. Many EU programmes will
contribute to leveraging knowledge for growth but the research programme is the cornerstone of Europe’s knowledge policy.
The specific programme ‘Capacities’ under the seventh framework programme for research, technological development and dem-
onstration activities (RTD) aims to enhance research and innovation capacity throughout Europe to allow the emergence and
reinforcement of and access to multidisciplinary European poles of excellence. In particular, research infrastructures play a key
role in the creation of knowledge, its dissemination, application and exploitation, thus fostering innovation.

This activity addresses more specifically the deployment of ICT-based infrastructures, or e-Infrastructures. E-Infrastructures pro-
vide services to research communities by bringing the power of distributed ICT-based resources (computing, connectivity, stor-
age, data and instrumentation) to virtual communities. The reinforcement of a European approach in this domain establishes
synergies between national infrastructures or initiatives, ensures that critical masses are reached, rationalises new investments,
and strives for world leadership. It can make a significant contribution to boosting European research potential and its exploi-
tation, and consolidating e-Infrastructures as a cornerstone of the European Research Area, a ‘forerunner’ of cross-discipline
innovation and a driver in changing the way science is conducted.

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and semi-
nars 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 mea-
sures under previous framework programmes.

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-

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 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 for 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.

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

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.

Former Items 10 04 04 01 and 10 04 04 02

This appropriation is intended to cover part of expenses of any kind incurred during the implementation of these programmes
and not covered by the payment appropriations available for previous financial years.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue may
give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

The current programme initially covered the 2004 to 2006 period but was extended by one year (to cover 2007). A further
extension may have to be introduced for 2008 in order to give time for a more definitive solution. That would require support
from this budget line.

The main objectives of the programme are as follows:

— to ensure over 250 days’ operation of the HFR per annum in order to guarantee the availability of neutrons for experi-

mental purposes,

— to ensure the rational use of this reactor according to the needs of research institutes requesting the assistance of the HFR

in areas such as:

— improving the safety of existing nuclear reactors,

— health, and in particular the development of medical isotopes for medical research and the testing of therapeutic

techniques,

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 the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third coun-
tries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund
(EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action
for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

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

Remarks

This item is intended to cover expenditure relating to the common organisation of the market in fishery products and, in par-
ticular, on the intervention mechanisms, on the allowance for producer organisations and on the systems for communication
and the exchange of information between the Member States and the Commission.

It is also intended to cover expenditure on evaluations in accordance with Article 41 of Regulation (EC) No 104/2000.

Following the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 1290/2005, by which the management of the measures change from shared
management with Member States to centralised management by the Commission, this budget item will only be used in 2007 to
cover expenditure related to commitments made in 2006 not yet paid at the end of 2006. These payments will be possible
thanks to the automatic carry forward of payment appropriations from 2006 as, until 2006, these appropriations are
non-dissociated.

Proposed agreement withdrawn

The financial contribution resulting from old fisheries agreements generally includes a part whose use is left entirely to the dis-
cretion of the relevant governments and a contribution to measures designed to ensure sustainable management of the third
country’s fishery resources. For new partnership agreements a global envelope is allocated. The amounts for 2008 concerning
fisheries agreements in force can be broken down as follows (commitments): financial contribution EUR 4 769 000, support to
the fisheries policy and other targeted measures EUR 3 114 000, and global envelopes for recent partnership agreements
EUR 146 490 000. In the case of Mauritania, the current protocol in force (2006-2008) can be renewed by tacit renewal for an

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 Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) to cover operational costs as well as interpretation and translation costs of

RACs meetings,

— grants to European trade bodies for the organisation of internal coordination meetings in preparation for meetings of the
Advisory Committee on Fisheries (ACFA), including the participation of ACFA representatives in the meetings of the RACs
in order to ensure coordination of the work of the RACs with that of the ACFA,

— 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, as well as maritime affairs.

The Commission will continue supporting the functioning of the RACs with a financial contribution and by participating in
meetings, preparing relevant documents and ensuring that all RAC opinions are included when drafting new legislation. If the
Commission does not include the RAC opinion or only parts of the opinion, the Commission should state why and where it
deviates from the RAC opinion. The involvement of people working in fisheries and other interest groups in the CFP process
will be strengthened, so that greater account of specific regional characteristics is taken.

Part of the appropriation is earmarked also for information and communication activities linked to the common fisheries policy
and maritime affairs as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Efforts will continue to inform
the stakeholders and the specialised media in the new Member States as well as in the countries joining the EU in the forth-
coming enlargement about the common fisheries policy.

Any revenue may result in the opening of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

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.

New article

This appropriation is intended to cover study work needed to underpin the developing maritime policy with sound facts and
analysis, as far as there are gaps and as far as this is necessary as a basis for impact assessment and the preparation of future
policy decisions. This is notably the case regarding socio-economic and legal matters in the maritime domain.

Three cross-cutting areas have been identified so far for potential future action: ‘Maritime spatial planning’, ‘Integration and con-
vergence of marine data collection systems’ and ‘Maritime surveillance’. This appropriation is also intended to cover expendi-
ture for carrying out feasibility studies with a view to elaborating future proposals in these areas.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure arising in connection with measures for the Solvit programme.

The Solvit system has proved to be one of the most effective out-of-court dispute settlement mechanisms.

It can effectively and efficiently deal with problems faced by citizens or business, arising as a result of the misapplication of inter-
nal market legislation by a public administration in another Member State. Furthermore, the Solvit system is able to produce
feedback information by using an online database system accessible to all coordination centres and which will also be made
accessible to citizens and business.

Nevertheless, it still lacks sufficient attention and support in some Member States.

Therefore, more emphasis is to be given to training measures, promotion campaigns and targeted actions with a particular focus
on the new Member States. By creating a specific budget line, the budgetary authority provides for a specific amount to be spent
only for Solvit.

Additionally, the Commission shall inform the competent committee of the European Parliament about the concrete measures
which have been undertaken in this field.

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 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the

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. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the
conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation will continue until 2010, in accordance with the conclusions of the Brus-
sels European Council of 15 and 16 December 2005.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled under the Interreg III Community initiative relat-
ing to cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation from the programming period 2000 to 2006.

Remarks

Former articles 14 03 01 and 14 03 02

This appropriation is intended to cover the finalisation of commitments remaining to be settled from the programmes Customs
2002 and Customs 2007.

The actions financed include conferences and seminars, technical assistance and IT support to coordinate the training and tech-
nical assistance and cooperation actions carried out by the Community and the Member States with third countries’ adminis-
trations in order to ensure the consistency of Community actions, both external and internal.

The operating expenditure covers training, technical assistance and cooperation actions for the benefit of:

— candidate countries to enable them to comply with Community customs legislation in the context of the enlargement pro-
cess; the appropriation is intended in this respect to meet the costs of assistance, conformity tests and interconnecting
national systems with Community systems,

— third countries to support them in the modernisation of their administrations.

Any revenue from the participation of non-member countries in customs cooperation agreements, entered in Item 6 0 3 1
or 6 0 3 2 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this article,
in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Council Decision of 19 March 2001 authorising the Commission to negotiate on behalf of the European Community an amend-
ment to the Convention creating the Customs Cooperation Council signed in Brussels on 15 December 1950, with a view to
European Community membership of the organisation.

Decision No 253/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2003 adopting an action programme
for customs in the Community (Customs 2007) (OJ L 36, 12.2.2003, p. 1), as amended by Decision No 787/2004/EC (OJ L 138,
30.4.2004, p. 12), repealed by Decision No 624/2007/EC (OJ L 154, 14.6.2007, p. 25).

The legal basis of technical assistance measures is found in the various cooperation, free trade, customs union and association
agreements between the Community and numerous non-member countries, in particular the applicant countries.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) (OJ L 210,

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of in-service traineeships intended for graduates and is designed to provide

work and an opportunity to enhance their knowledge through 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., reimbursement of travelling costs arising from the traineeship, par-
ticularly 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.

regionalisation:

— strengthening the common Baltic Sea identity through training and improving governance,

— improving the economic and environmental competitiveness of the region by regionalising the Lisbon Strategy and pro-

moting regional clusters,

— including adjacent regions to exploit the full dynamic potential of the Baltic Sea region, firstly by facing the challenge of
including Russia in the Baltic Sea framework and, secondly, by meeting the challenge of dealing with Russia as an external
power in the region. In maritime, environmental and transport policies, its presence would help to address common Baltic
Sea issues. It might be possible to include Russia in areas involving the soft security dimension.

15 06 06 (cont’d)

The event’s European dimension is obvious and powerful. Thanks to large-scale participation by young people from all Euro-
pean countries, the Olympics will bring about sound development of cultural cooperation among young people, with a strong
focus on the educational values of fair play and on empowering the sporting spirit in young people. The event will also be an
effective promotional vehicle for a healthy lifestyle and voluntary involvement of young people.

Last but not least, the Olympics will contribute to the development of the European Community with a stronger base of cul-
tural and sport values.

With due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, in particular Articles 109 and 110 thereof, EUR 1 000 000 is
intended as a contribution to the financing of the ‘Marathon for a United Europe’ at the place in which the first marathon com-
menced in ancient times in celebration of the Athenian victory over the Persians. This will take place in the summer of 2008 as
part of a three-day cultural event. The ‘Marathon for a United Europe’ will be run from Tymbos Marathonos to the Panathinaiko
Stadium in Athens and will be open to young people from the 27 EU Member States, including champion distance runners.

Remarks

The preparatory action should define a common framework for national civic services across the European Union, relying on
the existing national civic service infrastructures and permitting the large-scale exchange of participants between EU Member
States, leading to a truly universal European civic service. The service should be civic, i.e. civil or military. Each Member State
would be able to choose the form of civic service. It should be open to young people, male and female, between 16 and 28
years old. This project would give tangible substance to the notion of European citizenship since it would provide an oppor-
tunity for the young participants to carry out part of their civic service in another country taking part in Amicus.

Remarks

These appropriations are intended to fund general information operations concerning the European Union, for the purpose of
making the work of the Community institutions more visible, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. They
concern essentially the funding or co-funding of the production and/or dissemination of multimedia information products.

The Commission has adopted 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, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil
society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular
the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final)
with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

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 based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

With regard to decentralised work, the Commission’s representations and the European Parliament’s information offices 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.

These activities are carried out:

— by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States,

— by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 30 000.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Union’s communication-related expenditure. The aim of the communi-
cation activities is to provide target groups, mainly the media, with the tools for better understanding and reporting of topical
issues.

The Commission has adopted 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, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil
society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular
the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final)
with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

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 based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

Implementing these activities involves essentially:

— audiovisual communication, mainly to the media,

— providing the media and other platforms with audiovisual information material,

— organising seminars for journalists in the Representations and at headquarters.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5 000.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Union’s expenditure on decentralised communication. The aim of local
communication activities is in particular to provide target groups with the tools to gain a better understanding of burning topi-
cal issues.

The Commission has adopted 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, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil
society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular
the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final)
with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

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 based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

These activities are implemented mainly via the Representations in the Member States:

— seminars and conferences,

— organisation of or participation in European events, exhibitions and public-relations activities, organisation of individual

visits, etc.,

— direct communication measures targeted at the general public (e.g. citizens’ advice services),

— direct communication measures targeted at opinion multipliers, in particular stepped-up measures involving the regional

daily press, which is a major information outlet for a large number of European citizens,

— opening and management of information centres and spaces for the general public.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5 000.

Part of this appropriation is intended to cover expenditure stemming from the European Union’s participation in Expo Zara-
goza 2008, ‘Water and Sustainable Development’, to be held in Zaragoza (Spain) from 14 June to 14 September 2008, in par-
ticular in connection with the European Union stand, as agreed at the meeting of the Interinstitutional Working Group on
Communication on 22 May 2007.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund communication activities on priority themes.

They fit into the Action Plan adopted by the Commission (SEC(2005) 985 final) to improve its communication with citizens, in
the context of the White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final) that it drew up in cooperation with
the other institutions.

The appropriation is intended primarily to cover the provision of information to citizens, as far as possible in their mother
tongue, about the Union’s present and future options and involving them in a debate on this subject.

It covers in particular activities such as:

— the ‘Plan-D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate’ (COM(2005) 494 final),

— communication operations linked to other specific annual or multi-annual priority themes,

— ad hoc communication operations on a national or international scale that fit in with the communication priorities,

— communication operations organised in partnership with the Member States in order to create synergies between the means
of action employed by the Member States and the Commission and coordinate their information and communication activi-
ties on the European Union.

Implemented in close cooperation with the authorities in the Member States and/or civil society, these activities take account of
specific national and regional features.

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

The measures are carried out:

— by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States,

— by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters.

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

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5 000.

Part of this appropriation is earmarked for funding the ‘Rivers for Life’ European Youth Forum, from 25 to 27 June 2008, to
open Expo Zaragoza 2008. Implemented in close cooperation with the authorities in the Member States and/or civil society,
these activities take account of specific national and regional features.

Remarks

The appropriations in this budget line are intended to cover the analysis of trends in public opinion, mainly by means of opin-
ion polls (e.g. general-public ‘Eurobarometer’ surveys, ‘flash’ surveys, by telephone, of specific populations on particular sub-
jects, at regional or national level, or qualitative surveys), together with quality control of these surveys.

The Commission has adopted 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, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).
These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund on-line multimedia information and communication tools concerning the European
Union, for the purpose of providing all citizens with general information on the work of the Community institutions, the deci-
sions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. On-line tools make it possible to gather citizens’ questions or reactions on
European issues. This is a public service task. The information covers all the Community institutions. These tools must be made
accessible to people with disabilities, in accordance with WAI guidelines.

The Commission has adopted 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, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final).

With regard to decentralised activities, the Commission’s Representations and the European Parliament’s external offices 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 measures are carried out:

— by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States,

— by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters.

The main types of tool concerned are:

— the Europa site,

— the Europe Direct contact centre,

— the Internet sites and multimedia products of the Representations in the Member States,

— on-line summaries of legislation (SCAD),

— on-line press releases, speeches, memos, etc. (RAPID).

mentation, reproduction of documents, data purchase or management, editing, translation, revision (including checking the con-
cordance of texts), printing, posting on the Internet or installation in any other electronic medium, distribution, storage,

Remarks

Decision No 1926/2006/EC establishes a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy
(2007-2013) as defined in the multiannual strategy. The decision and the strategy entail two strategic objectives in the medium
term:

— 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 consolidates and expands the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programmes. It consid-
erably expands Community activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, market sur-
veillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

For this purpose the Commission should conduct a survey of a basket of products in all 27 Member States, with the aim of
assessing actual conformity with CE marketing.

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.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution 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.

The Commission is requested to provide information on the actions undertaken or planned to be taken to overcome imple-
mentation difficulties. This information should be presented at forthcoming trialogue meetings. This is in line with the decla-
ration on ensuring proper budget implementation adopted at the November 2006 budget conciliation.

Legal basis

Decision No 1926/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a programme of
Community action in the field of consumer policy (2007-2013) (OJ L 404, 30.12.2006, p. 39).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments made in previous years in the context of the preceding programme of
Community action in the field of public health.

The aim of this programme was to contribute to attaining a high level of health protection by directing action towards improv-
ing public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities were:

— 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.

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 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-

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.

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.

Remarks

The second public health programme replaces the previous programme established by Decision 1786/2002 and covers the
period 2008-2013.

The main objectives of the second public health programme are:

— 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, paying particular attention to issues

linked to obesity and alcohol abuse.

For 2008 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme will focus on three pillars where action at European level
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 — including on disabilities and ‘dys’ conditions — 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 needs to be coordinated effectively at EU level. EU integration based
on the principle of free movement increases the need for vigilance, in order 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.

COMMISSION
TITLE 17 — HEALTH AND CONSUMER PROTECTION

CHAPTER 17 03 — PUBLIC HEALTH (cont’d)

17 03 06 (cont’d)

Actions will include initiatives to increase healthy life years and promote healthy ageing; explore health’s impact on productiv-
ity 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 will 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 will 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.

Actions will also include appropriate initiatives to follow up on the recommendations obtained through the Green Paper con-
sultation on mental health, and in particular on strategies to prevent suicide across the lifespan.

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.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution 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 17 04 01

The Community’s financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supple-
ment national financial resources and contributes to harmonising measures at Community level. The bulk of these diseases or
infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, avian influenza, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Moreover,
the persistence of the diseases in question hampers smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve
the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union.

In 2007, this appropriation was used to cover expenditure relating to commitments made in 2006 in respect of which, how-
ever, payments had not yet been made at the end of 2006. These payments will be possible thanks to the automatic carryover
of payment appropriations from 2006 since, until 2006, the appropriations were non-differentiated.

Former Article 17 04 03

The outbreak of some animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal mar-
ket and on the Community’s commercial relations with third countries. Thus, it is important for the Community to make a finan-
cial contribution in order to allow the fastest eradication possible of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease in Member States
by deploying Community resources to fight these diseases.

Remarks

In the event of mass influxes of refugees or displaced persons, emergency measures in the following areas can be taken under
this article:

— reception and accommodation,

— provision of subsistence funds,

— medical, psychological and other assistance, aimed in particular at minors and including specialised assistance to women
and girls who have fallen victim to harassment in any form or to criminal acts (rape or violence) or have suffered because
of poor conditions as refugees,

— necessary staffing and administrative costs in connection with reception and carrying out the measures,

— expert missions and ancillary technical assistance for the identification of displaced persons,

— logistical and transport costs.

Under this provision, emergency measures can also be taken to address situations of particular pressure, characterised by the
sudden arrival at particular points on the borders of a large number of third country nationals who may be in need of interna-
tional protection, where this places exceptionally heavy and urgent demands on the reception facilities, the asylum system or
the infrastructure of the Member State(s) concerned and may give rise to risks to human life, wellbeing or access to protection
provided for under Community legislation.

The duration of such measures must not exceed six months. Besides the measures listed above, emergency measures may include
legal aid and language assistance and the provision of translation and interpretation services, country of origin information or
expertise and other measures contributing to the rapid identification of persons who may be in need of international protection
and to fair and efficient processing of asylum applications.

Legal basis

Remarks

The purpose of the action is to test hypotheses in the field of migration management. On the basis of its evaluation, it could
lead to the development of a global approach, an objective set by the European Union. The action will be based on three related
components.

Component 1: Financial assistance for the employment of immigrants returning to their countries of origin with which there are
admission agreements.

Component 2: Organising information campaigns, in countries of origin, for applicants for immigration into the European Union
so as to inform them in particular about the dangers of illegal immigration.

Component 3: Reception in dignity and solidarity — Assistance to Member States in coping with reception of irregular migrants
arriving by sea. Measures would:

— assist Member States affected by sudden arrivals of migrants, e.g. by improving and exchanging good/best practices and

providing interpreters and medical and legal teams,

— assist Member States to enhance reception quality and capacity, including temporary capacity, reception of irregular
migrants at arrival points, e.g, by providing first aid and transport to adequate reception centres and improving/increasing
reception facilities and conditions at those facilities,

— assist Member States in pooling resources to address particular pressures on their asylum systems, in particular through
activities where specific expertise is needed, sharing knowledge and promoting joint approaches to address mass arrivals of
asylum seekers at the external border of the EU.

For component 3, recipients of funding should be national authorities. Projects may include partnerships with other Member
State authorities, international organisations and NGOs.

For all components, part of the appropriations should be used by the Commission to help in the management of this action
(external experts, studies, etc.).

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of the Financial Regulation.

18 04 09 (cont’d)

Following the successful use, in France and Greece (and also in the USA and Canada), of systems alerting the public in cases of
child abduction (or disappearance) and when children’s health or lives may be at serious risk, the Commission would like to
help Member States to put similar mechanisms in place nationally. If all Member States adopt such mechanisms and commu-
nication schemes are put in place, resolving cross-border cases will be possible and easier.

This budget heading is intended to finance the additional costs which might arise as a result of putting this mechanism in place.
Costs involved in setting up round-the-clock contact points, freephone lines and IT networks would be typical costs.

Remarks

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

It covers information measures in the field of justice and home affairs in relation to the establishment of an area of freedom,
security and justice (internal web sites, public events, communication products, Eurobarometer surveys, etc.). These measures
are designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Com-
munity 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 online
access to the EU law-making process.

18 08 01 (cont’d)

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. In this context, this
appropriation is also intended to cover the development of the TRANS-JAI project (system hosting and system environment
support, development and preparation complete with maintenance).

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an awareness-raising campaign by the Commission, in cooperation with
civil society, on EU citizens’ rights under Article 13 of the Treaty on European Union.

Former Items 19 02 01 01, 19 02 01 02 and 19 02 01 03

As part of the rationalisation and simplification of the instruments for external actions for the period of the 2007 to 2013 Finan-
cial Framework, the financial and technical assistance to third countries in the areas of migration and asylum (‘Aeneas’ pro-
gramme) is replaced by a thematic cooperation programme with third countries in these fields. The ‘Aeneas’ programme (2004
to 2006) was adopted following the preparatory action for 2001 to 2003 and the Commission Communication on integrating
migration issues in the European Union’s relations with third countries (COM(2002) 703 final), which have paved the way for
the legal basis.

The aim of the programme is to address the causes of migration in countries of origin. Under this programme, appropriations
may also be used to provide, in a specific and complementary way, technical and financial assistance for third countries to sup-
port them in their efforts to ensure better management of migratory flows in all aspects.

Priority will be given to comprehensive programmes that are consistent with Community efforts which contribute to address-
ing the root causes of migration.

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 south-south migratory flows, and combat poverty, the root cause of migration, as well as
mitigating the brain drain from south to north in the process, and to help them to improve their capacities to fulfil their inter-
national obligations in the field of asylum and migration; full attention will be given to the way individuals (migrants, refugees
or readmitted persons) are treated, which will be subject to strict controls.

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.

Remarks

The Council Presidency must ensure that the European Parliament is closely involved in all stages of the decision-making pro-
cess. The joint consultation meetings provided for under point 43 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between
the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (OJ C 139,
14.6.2006, p. 1) will provide an opportunity to establish a continuous dialogue between the two institutions on the main choices
for and aspects of the European Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy.

The regular joint consultation meetings should provide an opportunity for a real political dialogue, instead of being merely used
to inform Parliament after the event.

This appropriation is for funding preparatory measures to establish the conditions for EU actions in the field of the CFSP and
the adoption of the necessary legal instruments. It may cover evaluation and analysis measures (ex ante evaluation of means,
specific studies, organisation of meetings, fact-finding on the ground). In the field of EU crisis management operations and for
EU Special Representatives, in particular, preparatory measures may inter alia serve to assess the operational requirements for an
envisaged action, to provide for a rapid initial deployment of personnel and resources (e.g. mission expenses, purchase of equip-
ment, pre-financing of running and insurance costs in the start-up phase), or to take the necessary measures on the ground to
prepare for the launching of the operation. It may also cover experts supporting EU crisis management operations on specific
technical issues (e.g. identification and assessment of procurement needs).

It also covers follow-up measures and audits of common foreign and security policy measures and the financing of any expen-
diture on the regularisation of previously closed measures.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly
linked to the achievement of the objective of the measures coming under Articles 19 03 01, 19 03 02, 19 03 03, 19 03 06

The general objective will be to contribute to the development and consolidation of democracy, conflict prevention and respect
for human rights, in accordance with European Union policies and guidelines and in close cooperation with civil society.

Key areas of activity will include:

— promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms where they are most at risk, especially freedoms of expression and
association and the protection of human rights defenders, as preconditions for civil society activity and advancement
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, pro-
viding a European Master’s 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 (OJ L 138,
30.4.2004, p. 31).

Key areas of activity will include: strengthening the international framework for the protection of human rights, the rule of law
and the promotion of democracy, in particular international criminal justice mechanisms and core legal instruments.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases
their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed
by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to pro-
vision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of
4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing a financ-

Remarks

Former Article 21 04 04

The objective of the measure is to provide financial support for lawyers acting in criminal cases involving Member State nation-
als in third countries whose judicial rights have been found not to have been observed.

The following actions are envisaged:

— defending accused persons and victims alongside local lawyers and ensuring that fair trials are held,

— providing financial assistance to defenders of human rights defending EU nationals whose fundamental rights have been

threatened.

The aim of the project is to establish partnership relations for organising judicial support with the many lawyers’ associations,
lawyers’ NGOs and trade associations for the legal professions in third countries.

Bodies responsible for providing immediate defence (ad hoc assignments in countries where human rights are under threat,
either acting alone or together with local lawyers in sensitive cases in criminal courts) could be beneficiaries. Were this to be the
case, the urgent protection provisions set out in Article 13(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 establishing a financing
instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide would remain unchanged.

Remarks

This appropriation covers completion of former cooperation under the European Initiative for Democracy and Human Rights.

This appropriation covers support for the establishment and maintenance of rehabilitation centres for torture victims — taking

offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses. Support for the rehabilitation of torture victims must remain a pri-
ority. Projects may also include prevention activities when relevant.

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

— the promotion and defence of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

— support for the democratisation process, strengthening of the rule of law and good governance,

— support for measures promoting respect for human rights and democratisation by preventing conflicts,

— support for efforts to foster the establishment of groupings of democratic countries within United Nations bodies, specia-

lised agencies and regional organisations.

This appropriation covers financial support for building confidence in, and enhancing the reliability and transparency of, demo-
cratic electoral processes through deployment of European Union Election Observation Missions and support for observation
capacity at regional and national level.

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.

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of measures designed to improve the functioning of the United Nations
International Court for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court for Rwanda, as well as support to the Spe-
cial International Court for Sierra Leone.

Remarks

Cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories is aimed at engaging with partners which share
similar political, economic and institutional structures and values to the Community and which are important bilateral partners
and players in multilateral fora and in global governance. The cooperation also covers newly industrialised or high-income coun-
tries and territories with whom the Community has a strategic interest in promoting links.

Specific attention shall be paid to measures, which may include a regional dimension, in the following areas of cooperation:

— the promotion of cooperation, partnerships and joint undertakings between economic, academic and scientific actors in

the Community and partner countries;

— the stimulation of bilateral trade, investment flows and economic partnerships;

— the promotion of dialogue between political, economic and social actors and other non-governmental organisations in rel-

evant sectors in the Community and partner countries;

— the promotion of people-to-people links, education and training programmes and intellectual exchanges and the enhance-

ment of mutual understanding between cultures and civilisations;

— the promotion of cooperative projects in areas such as research, science and technology, energy, transport and environ-
mental matters — including climate change, customs and financial issues and any other matter of mutual interest between
the Community and the partner countries;

— the enhancement of awareness about and understanding of the European Union and of its visibility in partner countries;

— support for specific initiatives, including research work, studies, pilot schemes or joint projects destined to respond in an
effective and flexible manner to cooperation objectives arising from developments in the Community’s bilateral relation-
ship with the partner countries or aiming to provide impetus to the further deepening and broadening of bilateral rela-
tionships with them.

to existing mechanisms. The pilot project will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and US policymakers that
are beyond the scope of the current tools available under existing legal instruments. In implementing this action the Commis-
sion will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies.

Remarks

The quick release of financing through the Instrument for Stability is designed to address situations of urgency, crisis or emerg-
ing crisis, a situation posing a threat to democracy, law and order, to the protection of human rights and fundamental free-
doms, to the security and safety of individuals, situations threatening to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country
concerned and where such situations are likely to jeopardise the beneficial effects of assistance and cooperation policies and
programmes, their effectiveness and/or conditions for their proper implementation.

This appropriation is intended to cover an integrated programme of response measures designed to re-establish the minimum
conditions necessary for the conduct of assistance under the Community’s long term assistance instruments. Such programmes
will ensure a smooth link between relief, rehabilitation and development. They shall also provide complementary measures fall-
ing under Community competence relating to measures adopted under the CFSP, as part of a comprehensive EU approach to
crisis.

The appropriation is also intended to cover response measures to prevent and reduce climate-change-induced hazards, in par-
ticular management of water resources, in cases where these hazards risk escalating into security threats.

Operations covered will include:

— technical and logistical support for the efforts of international and regional organisations, state and non-state actors in pro-

moting confidence-building, mediation, dialogue and reconciliation,

— the relaunch of basic public services and economic activity,

— the initial physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance,

— social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised combatants

— the restoration of the institutional capacities needed for good governance and ensuring the rule of law and democracy,

(1) An appropriation of EUR 10 000 000 is entered in Chapter 40 02.

Remarks

This item 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 implementation
of European Union instruments in order to assist to people in third countries. The structure must be able to provide the Euro-
pean volunteers with the necessary training, make other preparatory arrangements for them and cover the cost of the volun-
teers’ 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover actions aiming to help safeguard countries and populations against critical technologi-
cal threats. This may, inter alia, include:

— the promotion of civilian research activities as an alternative to defence-related research, and support for the retraining and

alternative employment of scientists and engineers having formerly been employed in weapons-related areas,

— support for measures to enhance safety practice related to civilian facilities where sensitive chemical, biological, radiologi-

cal or nuclear materials or agents are stored, or are handled in the context of civilian research programmes,

— support, within the framework of Community cooperation policies and their objectives, for the establishment of civil infra-
structure and relevant civilian studies necessary for the dismantlement, remediation or conversion of weapons-related facili-
ties and sites where these are declared as no longer belonging to a defence programme,

— strengthening the capacity of the competent civilian authorities involved in the development and enforcement of effective
control of the trafficking in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials or agents (including the equipment for
their production or delivery), including through the installation of modern logistical evaluation and control equipment,

— the development of the legal framework and institutional capacities for the establishment and enforcement of effective

export controls on dual-use goods, including measures of regional cooperation,

— the development of effective civilian disaster preparedness, emergency planning, crisis response, and capabilities for

clean-up measures in relation to possible major environmental incidents in this field.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases
their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed
by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to pro-
vision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of
4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

New chapter

The EU aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving its Member States and the neighbouring
partner countries (1). To that effect the EU has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European
Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stron-
ger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration
and political cooperation. The EU has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common inter-
ests and shared values and based on the creation of four ‘common spaces’. The appropriations under this chapter are intended
to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries
with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on EU
policy objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation measures aimed primarily at supporting the implementation
of the agreements and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the EU’s Mediterranean neighbours. It will also be used to support
the implementation of the five-year Euro-Mediterranean Work Plan for 2006 to 2010. This will cover inter alia the following
areas of cooperation:

— promoting political dialogue and reform,

— promoting legislative and regulatory approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner countries in

the internal market and the intensification of trade;

(1) This includes seventeen countries, of which seven (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, the Russian Federation and Ukraine) located to the
East of the EU and ten (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia) located to the South of the
EU.

society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other particularly
vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons;

— promoting people-to-people contacts and exchanges in the field of education, research and culture;

— supporting regional integration within the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and in particular the promotion
of regional cooperation, the creation of networks and partnerships of public and private not-for-profit organisations with
a view to exchanging knowledge and best practices in all the relevant fields;

— supporting actions in the field of migration designed, inter alia, to promote links between migration 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).

Horizontal visibility of Community Assistance and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the objec-
tives of EU action in Mediterranean third countries.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country in the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for funda-
mental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Community assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to
support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases
their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed
by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to pro-
vision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of
4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, assistance and cooperation with governments should not be provided if there is clear
evidence that the governments in question are responsible for a deterioration of the situation in the fields of democracy, the rule
of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover operations for the benefit of the Palestinian people and the occupied Palestinian terri-
tories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in the context of the Middle East peace process.

The operations are primarily aimed at:

— supporting State building and institutional development,

— promoting social and economic development,

— mitigating the effects on the Palestinian population of the deteriorating economic, fiscal and humanitarian conditions

through the provision of essential services and other support,

— contributing to the financing of the operation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees

(UNRWA) and in particular its health, education and social services programmes,

— financing preparatory operations aimed at promoting cooperation between Israel and its neighbours in the context of the

peace process, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and energy,

— financing activities designed to create a public opinion favourable to the peace process,

— financing information, including in Arabic and Hebrew, and disseminating information on Israeli-Palestinian cooperation,

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

The active involvement of the EU in, and its support for, the Middle East peace process will continue in 2008. It should, in par-
ticular, ensure the provision of aid to UNRWA, with a view to meeting Palestine refugees’ needs. Such aid needs to be increased,
given that the amounts set out in the joint declaration signed by UNRWA and the Commission on 28 February 2007 are inad-
equate. Additional funding is required in order to meet the needs of the Palestinian population which are becoming more urgent
with every passing day, particularly since the de facto split between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in June 2007.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases
their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed
by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to pro-
vision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of
4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation actions aimed primarily at supporting the implementation
of the agreements and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the EU’s Eastern neighbours. It will also be used to support the
Strategic Partnership between the EU and Russia through implementation of the four common spaces covering economic coop-
eration; freedom, security and justice; external security; and research and education, including culture. This will entail, inter alia,
the following areas of cooperation:

— promoting political dialogue and reform,

— promoting legislative and regulatory approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner countries in

the internal market and the intensification of trade,

— strengthening the national institutions responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas covered

by the association agreements,

— promoting respect for human rights and good governance,

— supporting the transition to a market economy and the modernisation of the economy, promoting investments in the

region and strengthening small- and medium-sized enterprises,

— promoting sustainable development and contributing to poverty reduction,

— establishing better transport and energy interconnections between the EU and neighbouring countries and among neigh-

bouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common environment,

— promoting actions contributing to conflict resolution,

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

— promoting people-to-people contacts and exchanges in the field of education, research and culture,

— supporting regional cooperation, including within the context of the ‘Black Sea Synergy’ with special focus on cooperation

developing ecological highly effective solutions for environmental protection,

— supporting actions in the field of migration designed inter alia to promote links between migration 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),

— supporting measures to eliminate stockpiles of obsolete pesticides.

Appropriations under this Item will also be used for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential beneficia-
ries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Community assistance.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country of the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for funda-
mental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Community assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to
support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

The importance of developing cooperation in the Black Sea region is recognised in the context of the ‘Black Sea Synergy’. The
Black Sea region occupies a strategic position for energy security and for the economic development of the EU and the neigh-
bouring countries. The Black Sea Joint Operational Programme includes ten partner states, of which three are Member States
and one is an applicant country. It is necessary to supplement the budget with a view to developing infrastructures for trans-
port, tourism and cultural cooperation in the Black Sea region.

Part of the commitments and payment appropriations are placed in reserve pending presentation by the Commission of an
improvement action plan following the findings of the Court of Auditors (Special Report No 2/2006; OJ C 119, 19.5.2006,
p. 1).

Cross-border cooperation (CBC) — European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI)

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the EU’s external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the
EU’s Strategic Partnership with Russia. The adoption of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) has
considerably enhanced the scope for cross-border cooperation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Under the new approach,
CBC programmes established on the EU’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of
the EC budget and be implemented according to a single set of rules, the one established under the ENPI Regulation. The global
amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget items presented under this article.

This appropriation is intended to fund a number of cross-border cooperation programmes, established along all the land and
maritime borders. Such programmes will provide a tangible signal that the EU does not want to establish new dividing lines and
they will also strengthen the partnership among border regions of the EU and neighbouring countries and help them to deal
with common development problems. They will focus on the following four main objectives:

— promoting economic and social development in regions on both sides of common borders,

— working together to address common challenges, in fields such as the environment, public health and the prevention of

and the fight against organised crime,

— ensuring efficient and secure borders and solving EU border crossing problems by increasing capacity for handling goods

traffic,

— promoting local, cross-border ‘people-to-people’ actions,

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

Appropriations under this Article will also be used for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential benefi-
ciaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Community assistance.

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.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Par-
liament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378,
27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Devel-
opment Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but
now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising
that the EU contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility
must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure
that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009,
to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, tak-
ing an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where
exceptional assistance is involved.

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 previous 35 % bench-
mark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and basic
health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improv-
ing the coherence 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation schemes in developing countries in Latin America in order to:

— improve basic health and basic education by endeavouring, in accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning
Article 5 of the DCI, to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by
the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or
budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flex-
ibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved,

— 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,

— promote an SME-friendly business climate through legal property rights, cutting red tape and improved access to credit as

well as improving SME associations,

— support microfinance programmes,

— support regional integration,

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

— promote the increased use of information and communications technologies,

— foster regional integration,

— support capacity-building, in particular in the least-developed countries, to help them to integrate better into the multilat-

eral trading system, including improving their ability 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 sustainable use of natural resources, sustainable energy and the combating of climate change,

— support disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-related hazards,

— support trade unions, NGOs and local initiatives to monitor the impact of European investments on the national economy,
particularly codes of conduct and sector agreements incorporating respect for labour, environmental, social and human
rights standards,

— foster the development of civil society, encourage less well-represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil soci-
ety and the political system, combat all forms of discrimination, and strengthen the rights of women and children and other
particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons.

This appropriation is also intended to cover measures to promote the self-sufficiency of refugees, displaced persons and other
population groups who have left their country of origin or residence because of fighting, lack of security or other man-made
crises, notably in Colombia. Measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international
organisations.

The appropriation also covers 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, operations may cover pro-
grammes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations and other civil society players which pro-
mote the participation of the beneficiary population at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.

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.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for actions to control and remove anti-personnel landmines (APL), explosive remnants
of war (ERW) and illicit small arms and light weapons (SALW).

The measures funded from this budget heading will take account of the demographic change factor.

Funding over and above the reference amount in Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 may be used for measures in the higher-
education field, even though they may not be directly relevant in terms of abolishing poverty in Latin America.

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.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases
their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed
by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to pro-
vision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of
revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of
4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

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).

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 by Commission delegations in non-member countries and vis-à-vis
international organisations.

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 organisation of visits for groups of representatives of civil society,

— 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,

— the coverage of Euronews in Farsi.

Decentralised measures carried out by delegations in non-member countries and vis-à-vis international organisations.

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.),

Remarks

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 of 11 March 2003 ‘Wider Europe — Neighbourhood: A new framework
for relations with our eastern and southern neighbours’ (COM(2003) 104 final). 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 Neigh-
bourhood 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
communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350 final). They propose an interinsti-
tutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of a communi-
cation 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.

Overall objectives

This domain aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to
international 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.

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,

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 management and further development of a help desk to provide to developing countries industry information on access
to EU markets, to facilitate efforts by such industry to take advantage of market access opportunities offered by the inter-
national trading 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 related to the management of the SIGL system (Système Intégré de Gestion de Licences)

Expenditure relating to the implementation of the action programme for administering quantitative restrictions and surveil-
lance measures, and in particular the financing of measures for monitoring licence management systems and the coordinated
development of the use of computerised procedures (SIGL system).

This support will take the form of the financing of expenditure on the implementation and operation of common systems and

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund multilateral programmes and initiatives in the field of trade related assistance to strengthen
the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in the multilateral trading system and regional trading arrange-
ments and to improve their trade performance.

Multilateral initiatives and programmes to be funded under this appropriation will support the following actions:

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 and to strengthen the institutions
involved in trade policy, including comprehensive and updated trade reviews and assistance in integrating trade into their respec-
tive policies for economic growth and development.

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in international trade negotiations and to
implement international trade agreements.

This assistance is primarily targeted at the public sector.

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.

This appropriation complement the EC’s geographical programmes and should only cover multilateral initiatives and pro-
grammes that offer real added value to the EC’s geographical programmes, in particular the Integrated Framework for LDCs.

The Commission will provide a bi-annual report on implementation and results obtained and on the main outcomes and effects
of aid for trade assistance. The Commission will provide information on a total figure for all aid for trade finance coming from
within the EU budget, and a total figure for aid for trade from within all ‘trade-related assistance’ provided.

TITLE 21

Overall objectives

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development 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.

— Translate the policy framework into the new programming cycle.

— Improve the effectiveness of EU aid among Member States and with international donors, develop the EC’s role as a centre of excellence for
EU thinking on development policies and strengthen the EU/EC’s impact on the international development debate and cooperation.

— Enhance policy coherence for development.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of 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) (the DCI), for coun-
tries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will
continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated
to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors
and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeav-
our to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to
basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across
all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community’s develop-
ment policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development coop-
eration, 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 previous 35 % benchmark for social infra-
structure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and
effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence 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 achieving 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.

Remarks

Community assistance shall not be given to any government or organisation or programme which supports or participates in the management of
a programme which involves human rights abuses such as coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation or infanticide. This implements the spe-
cific Cairo ICPD prohibition on coercion or compulsion in sexual and reproductive health matters. The Commission shall present each year a
report on the implementation of the EU’s external assistance covering this programme.

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 Commission

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

— expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, temporary agents, detached national experts, staff from employ-
ment agencies) at headquarters intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance
offices; expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 3 653 300 and this estimate is based on
a provisional annual unit cost per man-year of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned
and 5 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members,

— expenditure on support staff in delegations (contract staff, detached national experts, individual experts, local staff and local
technical assistance staff) for the purposes of devolved programme management in the Commission’s delegations in non-
member countries or for internalisation of tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as the additional logis-
tical and infrastructure costs, such as costs of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications and of renting
directly caused by the presence in the delegation of the temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations of this item,

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objec-

tive of the programme.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public
and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Com-
munity and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of
additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6.3.3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under
Article 18(1)(aa), of the Financial Regulation. A maximum of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expen-
diture for the corresponding programme.

This appropriation covers administrative expenditure under Chapters 21 02, 21 03, 21 04, 21 05 and 21 06.

Remarks

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 Article
includes protracted crises, rehabilitation and tackling structural food insecurity as a first step towards long-term poverty
reduction.

More specifically, this appropriation is intended to contribute to the strategic priorities of the food security thematic programme:

— supporting the delivery of international public goods contributing to food security: research and technology,

— linking information and decision making to improve food security response strategies,

— exploiting the potential of continental and regional approaches to improve food security,

— addressing food security in exceptional situations of transition, and in fragile and failed states,

— promoting innovation to combat food insecurity,

— fostering advocacy and the advancement of the food security agenda, harmonisation and alignment with development part-

ners and donors.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). How-
ever, in line with Article 38 of 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.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public
and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Com-
munity and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of
additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under
Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expen-
diture for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to promote and implement the policy on the environment and on the sustainable management
of natural resources, including energy, as it applies to the Community’s relations with developing countries and with Europe’s
neighbours.

Financial support is provided to actions in five priority areas: (1) working upstream on MDG7: promoting environmental sus-
tainability; (2) promoting implementation of EU initiatives and helping developing countries to meet internationally agreed com-
mitments; (3) improving expertise for integration and coherence; (4) strengthening environmental governance and EU
leadership; and (5) supporting sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions.

Support for sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions also includes appropriations to cover the Community
contribution to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF). The objective of GEEREF is to mobilise pub-
lic and private finance to help solve the financing gridlock for economic renewable energy projects and businesses, in develop-
ing countries and in (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 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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the completion of payments for actions funded under the former budget
article 21 02 05 (‘Environment in Developing Countries’).

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public
and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Com-
munity and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of
additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue
under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support

This appropriation will be used to support the creation of the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF),
which aims at providing risk capital to different types of renewable energy and energy efficiency investment projects in devel-
oping countries, Europe and its neighbouring countries.

In the context of climate change, the European Union needs to take the lead as regards measures to reduce the effects and causes
of climate change. The exchange of good practices between the Member States in the area of energy efficiency will enable the
European Union to act in a coordinated fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions.

Financial support is provided to actions in seven priority areas: (1) the MDG of achieving universal primary education by 2015
and the Dakar Framework for Action on Education for All; (2) basic, secondary and higher education plus vocational education
and training, to improve access to education for all children and, increasingly, for women and men of all ages; (3) promotion of
high-quality basic education, with particular focus on access for girls, children in conflict-affected areas and children from mar-
ginalised and more vulnerable social groups including children with disabilities; (4) developing ways to measure learning out-
comes in order to better assess the quality of education; (5) promoting donor harmonisation and alignment to promote
universal, compulsory, free and high quality education through international or multi-country initiatives; (6) supporting an inclu-
sive knowledge-based society and contributing to bridging the digital divide, and knowledge and information gaps;
and (7) improving knowledge and innovation through science and technology together with the development of, and access to,
electronic communication networks.

The measures should take into consideration the fact that migration is reduced as a result of improved education and hence life
prospects in countries of origin.

Financial assistance shall be provided with a view to promoting the recognition of reproductive and sexual rights, safe moth-
erhood and universal access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual health services.

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 within developing countries and to action that complements and reinforces both the
policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other instruments of development
cooperation.

The purposes of the activities carried out shall be to:

— secure the right of women, men and adolescents to good reproductive and sexual health,

— enable women, men and adolescents to have access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual

healthcare services and products,

— reduce maternal mortality rates, with particular reference to the countries and populations where these are highest,

— combat female genital mutilation.

Financial support shall be given to projects or programmes specifically designed to attain the objectives described above.

This appropriation is intended to finance a preparatory action to combat poverty-related diseases other than HIV/AIDS, malaria
and tuberculosis. It is in particular intended to contribute to immunisation programmes against illnesses such as measles, diph-
theria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae B, yellow fever, meningitis and pneumococcus-induced diseases
by complementing vaccination efforts under way in some developing countries.

The preparatory actions aim through targeted and innovative measures to identify and provide the conditions for better coor-
dination between the EU, the Member States and the main international public-private partnerships involved in the field of pub-
lic health and immunisation as well as to secure more effective investment in health systems (prevention, education, capacity-
building) in developing countries.

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,

behaviour,

— integrate gender sensitivity in HIV/AIDS programming and the development of female-initiated and female-controlled pre-

vention methods as well as to integrate men into programmes focusing on the impact on women and girls,

— promote leadership awareness training.

This appropriation is also intended to fund malaria vaccination programmes.

Community financial support shall be given to specific projects designed to further the objectives described above, including
support for global initiatives targeting the major communicable diseases in the context of poverty reduction, notably the Global
Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria which came into operation on 29 January 2002.

This appropriation is intended as a pilot project to support national programmes of aid for basic education in developing coun-
tries through relevant action and analyses.

It is intended to promote cultural diversity by supporting cooperation in the field of culture, including:

— activities supporting mutual understanding between different cultures within partner countries,

— exchanges allowing for greater cultural understanding between developing countries and the European Union.

Primary education

This appropriation is intended to finance sectoral budget support targeted at ending school and uniform fees in primary edu-
cation, especially for girls. The limited number of beneficiary countries will be chosen from the list of countries identified by the
UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking and in accordance with the rules applied by the Commis-
sion for the countries benefiting from budget support, with particular reference to their ability to fulfil criteria of good gover-
nance and sound financial management.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance preparation of the beneficiary countries to offset the costs of ending the user
fees by other means of public financing after the end of this temporary EU action.

School meals

This appropriation is intended to finance sectoral budget support targeted at school meals for children in primary schools. This
measure complements the Quick Win action to end school and uniform fees and will be conducted with the same countries,
chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking and in
accordance with the rules applied by the Commission for the countries benefiting from budget support, in particular their abil-
ity to fulfil criteria of good governance and sound financial management.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance preparation of the beneficiary countries to organise public financing for school
meals after the end of this temporary EU action.

Food security

This appropriation is intended to finance aid to smallholder farmers for a massive replenishment of soil nutrients on land with
nutrient-depleted soils, through free or subsidised distribution of chemical fertilisers and through agroforestry.

The countries benefiting from this action will be chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as
potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking.

21 05 03 (cont’d)

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 organisations
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.

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.

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.

This appropriation is intended:

— to implement a catalyst role in promoting gender equality in Community development cooperation,

— to provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise, while at the same time reinforcing the gender mainstreaming strat-

egy by supporting specific actions for the empowerment of women.

Remarks

For countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee
(DAC), a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments has in the past been allocated to social infrastructure, mainly education
and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality, recognising that the EU contribution
must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility should be the norm. The
Commission will continue to report on this benchmark.

Moreover, in parallel with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of 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), the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under coun-
try programmes covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic education and
basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical
areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide the European Parliament and the Council with 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 previous 35 % bench-
mark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic health and basic education, and assess
the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence
of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, con-
flict 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.

This appropriation 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 in accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) between the European
Union and South Africa and Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December
2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation.

Development cooperation is implemented through CSP/MIPs under the TDCA and is financed from the Community budget.
For the period 2007 to 2013, the programme will be implemented under a new Country Strategy Paper and Multiannual
Programme.

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,

— to improving social services and helping to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by endeavouring to ensure that
20 % of allocated assistance will be dedicated, over the total period 2007-2013, to social services, through project, pro-
gramme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a
degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals, taking into account the
needs of the previously disadvantaged communities and integrate gender and environmental dimensions of development. Spe-
cial attention shall be paid to the strengthening of institutional capacities.

Development cooperation will focus mainly on:

— Strengthening capacity for and support to service delivery to the poor at provincial and municipal level (health, HIV/AIDS,

education, housing, infrastructures such as water and sanitation, sustainable energy, communication).

— Support to South Africa’s second economy, with a specific view to employment generation (addressing both labour demand

and supply issues, such as skills development).

— Support to governance (both in the public and non-public domains).

Development cooperation may also cover areas such as management of natural resources and environmental protection, disas-
ter prevention and risk reduction, sustainable energy and climate-change-related measures.

peace-making, education for peace, reconciliation, etc.

This appropriation also covers the financing of audit activities concerning the management of programmes and projects imple-
mented by the Commission in the external aid field. It will also cover the financing of training activities, based on the special
rules governing Community external aid and organised for external auditors.

Furthermore, the appropriation must also support continued efforts to develop further development cooperation impact mea-
surements and indicators.

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 EC Treaty).
Community aid is complementary to the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development cooperation 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 cooperation 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.

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,

— dissemination of information through the production of publications and the development of information systems.

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 in
the Member States about the Community’s action in the development cooperation field.

CHAPTER 21 08 — POLICY STRATEGY AND COORDINATION FOR ‘DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH ACP STATES’ POLICY

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.

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,

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

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

— the design and implementation of programmes funded under components I and II of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance in all can-
didate and potential candidate countries in support of their reforms and preparations for future membership, plus coordination of all five
components of the instrument,

— 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 implementation of 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover administrative costs directly linked to the implementation of the Instrument for Pre-
Accession (IPA), in particular:

— 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 Commission

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

— expenditure on support staff in delegations (contract staff, detached national experts, individual experts, local staff and local
technical assistance staff) for the purposes of devolved programme management in the Commission’s delegations in non-
member countries or for internalisation of tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as the additional logis-
tical and infrastructure cost, such as the cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications and of renting
directly caused by the presence in the delegation of the temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations in this item,

— 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 1 800 000 and this estimate is based on a provisional
annual unit cost per man-year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the
additional 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.

This appropriation covers expenditure on administrative management under Articles 22 02 01, 22 02 02, 22 02 03, 22 02 04,
22 02 05 and 22 02 07 concerning operational programmes not entrusted to the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR).

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 their Acts of Accession, all implementing agencies
in the 12 new Member States that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 must operate under the extended decentralised implemen-
tation system (EDIS). In Bulgaria and Romania, the extended decentralised implementation system has been introduced. To
accompany the transition in Bulgaria and Romania, administrative and personnel structures for the supervision and monitoring
of programmes may be maintained for up to 19 months after accession.

The tasks carried out at Headquarters relating to the completion of pre-accession programmes notably concern project follow-up
in the context of both monitoring of outcomes and financial management, including payment requests, supervision of imple-
mentation under EDIS, and follow-up to post-accession transitional financial aid. Requests to extend programmes and modify
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 accession assis-
tance programmes in the new Member States, namely:

— expenditure on temporary support staff in the Commission’s Representations (detached national experts, individual experts,
staff from employment agencies) for the purposes of programme management in the Commission’s Representations
together with the additional logistical, administrative and infrastructure cost, such as the cost of training, meetings, mis-
sions, IT and telecommunications and of renting directly caused by the presence in the Commission’s Representations of
the temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations of this item,

— expenditure on short-term technical assistance, linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme (or measures
coming under this article, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public
authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts),

— expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at head-
quarters working on tasks directly related to the completion of the accession programmes; expenditure on temporary sup-
port staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 100 000 and this estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-
year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training,
meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members.

Remarks

Under the IPA, this appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and institution building’ for candidate coun-
tries. The main objective is to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis, 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

to the beneficiary country in accordance with the rules set down in the Financial Regulation,

— economic reform,

— the development of civil society and social inclusion, encouraging less well represented groups to gain a voice and partici-
pate in civil society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other
particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons,

— reconciliation, confidence-building measures and reconstruction.

Part of this appropriation is intended in particular to support networks and partnerships of public and private not-for-profit
organisations with a view to exchanging knowledge and best practices in the field of sustainable local development, micro-
credit, environmental protection and the fight against poverty.

Remarks

Under the IPA, pre-accession financial assistance is available not only for candidate countries but is also extended to potential
candidate countries. This appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and institution building’ for potential
candidate countries. The main objective is to support the participation of the potential candidates in the stabilisation and asso-
ciation process and their progression towards candidate status given their enhanced European perspective following the Thes-
saloniki European Council (19 to 20 June 2003). This will involve supporting the gradual introduction of the acquis for all
countries and the implementation of obligations under the Interim Agreement/Stabilisation and Association Agreements, in par-
ticular 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

to the beneficiary country in accordance with the rules set down in the Financial Regulation,

— economic reform,

— the development of civil society and social inclusion, encouraging less well represented groups to gain a voice and partici-
pate in civil society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other
particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons,

— reconciliation, confidence-building measures and reconstruction.

Part of the appropriations for Serbia should be used for institution building and administrative development which will make it
possible to prevent fresh disruption to the ethnic make-up of populations and ensure that the creation of NUTS2 regions does
not lead to the break-up of ethnic/national areas or groups.

Part of the appropriations should be used to finance reconciliation and ethnic tolerance programmes in potential Member States.

Part of this appropriation will be used to support the activities of the International Commission on Missing Persons in potential
candidate countries.

The Community is to finance the operation of Pillar IV of the United Nations Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), and part of
the operation of the Office of the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (OHR). The financing is in the form of a con-
tribution to their budgets. This appropriation is also intended to support the Special Coordinator of the Stability Pact for South-
Eastern Europe, including a grant contract to finance the operation of his office and an employment contract with the Special
Coordinator as special adviser under Articles 5, 123 and 124 of the Conditions for Employment of Other Servants of the Euro-
pean Communities, as laid down in the Staff Regulations.

UNMIK, OHR and the Stability Pact are expected to close down in 2008-2009.

This appropriation is also intended to finance part of the operation of the South East Europe Cooperation Process and Regional
Cooperation Council (SEECP/RCC) Regional Secretariat (including the remuneration of the Secretary-General), which is expected
to be established in early 2008. The financing will be in the form of a contribution to the budget of the Secretariat and an
employment contract with the Secretary-General of the Secretariat, similar in form to that of the Special Coordinator of the Sta-
bility Pact.

UNMIK, the OHR and the Special Coordinator of the Stability Pact will report to the European Parliament on the political situ-
ation in the regions concerned, in particular as regards its impact on the implementation of EU financial assistance.

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-

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 support administrative expenditure necessary for implementation of the
programme such as:

— 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 Commission

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

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objec-

tive of the programme,

— expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, auxiliaries, detached national experts, staff from employment agen-
cies) at headquarters limited to EUR 3 000 000 on an annual basis corresponding to an estimated 28 man/years. This esti-
mate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man/year, of which 75 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff
concerned and 25 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT, telecommunications and, if necessary, rent
of premises on the ground.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 of 27 February 2006 establishing an instrument of financial support for encouraging the

The appropriation will be used for supporting non-profit organisations (NGOs or public) in conducting site preservation and
restoration projects concerning valuable cultural and religious objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.)
damaged or destroyed by war or other political conflicts in the western Balkans.

Whenever possible, particular attention should be given to projects that support the confidence-building process by involving
different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects.

In future, experience gained under this pilot project could also serve to develop a wider approach for preserving and restoring
cultural heritage in conflict areas in other geographical regions.

Remarks

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their admin-
istrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of best practice.

The transition facility for the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Implemen-
tation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of Acces-
sion (2005), lasting one year following their accession to the EU. Implementation is expected to continue until 2010.

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 minor adjustments.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to new Member States in areas where their adminis-
trative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with the other 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 the customs union,

— the environment,

— veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety,

— administrative and control structures for agriculture and rural development, including the integrated administration and

control system (IACS),

report which are not covered by the Structural Funds.

The issues addressed by the transition facility have been 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 may be assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, including audit and evaluation actions. The remain-
der is distributed between the new Member States.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities on enlargement,
mainly regarding Member States, including impact assessments and evaluation actions.

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement time-
table. While 2004 was a transition year, with a focus on central communication policies, reflecting the transformation of Del-
egations to Representations in the 10 new Member States, since 2005 the aim of the policies is to promote support for accession,
and to raise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where
public opinion is more sensitive to subsequent stages of enlargement.

The appropriations 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
country’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the EU and that of candidate and pre-
accession countries; informing journalists on the enlargement process; studies and opinion polls; developing and updating dedi-
cated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising conferences and seminars; and 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(6) 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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities on enlargement mainly
regarding candidate and potential candidate countries, including impact assessments and evaluation actions.

The main focus will be on the implementation of the re-orientated communication strategy on enlargement and pre-accession
through working programmes. The bulk of this appropriation will be allocated to cover information and communication activi-
ties in a deconcentrated manner to delegations in acceding, candidate and potential candidate countries.

Information and communication actions will be directed at the general public, relevant audiences, target groups, especially youth,
media and the rural population, and will seek to enhance support among opinion leaders for enlargement as well as the asso-
ciation and stabilisation process. The aim is also to strengthen the EU’s profile and political leverage in those countries and gen-
erate public support for the reforms process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

The appropriations allocated will build on the strategy from the previous year and lessons learnt and finance activities such as
management of information centres, organising information events, seminars and training, networking, media relations,
research, studies and opinion polls, publications and Internet websites.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA),

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover food aid operations of a humanitarian nature and will be carried out in accordance with
the rules on humanitarian aid under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

The Community’s humanitarian aid provides assistance and relief on a non-discriminatory basis to help people outside the Euro-
pean Union, particularly the most vulnerable among them, and as a priority those in developing countries who are the victims
of natural disasters, man-made crises, such as wars and outbreaks of fighting, or exceptional circumstances/circumstances com-
parable to natural or man-made disasters. It does so for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs that such situ-
ations give rise to.

This appropriation may be used to finance the purchase and delivery of food, seeds, livestock or any product or equipment
needed for the implementation of the humanitarian food aid operations.

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the measures that are essential for implementing food aid of a humanitarian
nature wihin the requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisfies the requirement to achieve
the greatest possible degree of cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency. This includes:

— transport and distribution of aid, including any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading, coordination, etc,

— back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid, the cost
of which is not covered by other appropriations, e.g. exceptional transport and storage operations, processing or prepa-
ration of foodstuffs on the spot, disinfection, consultants’ services, technical assistance and equipment directly involved in
providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

Former Item 02 01 04 05

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.

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.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution to 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, according to the same ratio as between the
amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, in
accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Pilot project — Minimising administrative burdens

2 000 000

Remarks

It is necessary to monitor new and assess old legislation. This pilot project should involve setting up a multiannual project with
the aim of establishing a small organisation that is apolitical and independent, and does not target the policy objectives of the
proposed legislation but focuses solely on the administrative burden brought about by a particular legislative proposal.

Furthermore, this organisation should review how the Commission handles its responsibility to keep the administrative burden
as low as possible in the context of, and with due regard for, the aim of the planned legislation.

Moreover, this organisation should focus on considering the degree to which in the explanatory memorandum for the planned
legislation the consequences in terms of administrative burdens have been examined and whether the Commission has shown
itself to have sought the least burdensome option to realise the policy objectives of the proposed legislation.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) 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), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).

Former Item 02 02 04 01

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, contributes to the eEurope initiatives (in the context of the Lisbon objectives) and the
related action plans. It contributes to eliminating or reducing the obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and
capital, supports the creation of a European area of security, justice and freedom, and facilitates 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.

26 03 01 (cont’d)

26 03 01 01 (cont’d)

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 of eGovernment services and the promotion of good prac-

tice and cost/benefit analyses,

— greater promotion of the use of open source software by public administrations for citizens,

— services accessible to disabled citizens.

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.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution 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.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 200 000.

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 Commission in order
to assess their effectiveness and, more generally, the performance of Commission departments in implementing policies, programmes 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 account-
ing and management information, the quality of internal control and, finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. These objectives build
on relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), and are carried out in accordance with the tasks
described in the Financial Regulation.

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, and expenditure on payment
for services rendered in connection with the adjustment of the remuneration of Community officials and other staff.

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 Swiss Confederation’s contribution for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3

Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary disci-
pline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the specific aid requirements of third countries following
events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also
for civil crisis management and protection where circumstances so require. The annual amount of the Reserve is fixed at
EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices.

TITLE 40 — RESERVES

CHAPTER 40 02 — RESERVES FOR FINANCIAL INTERVENTIONS (cont’d)

40 02 42 (cont’d)

The Reserve is entered in the general budget of the European Union as a provision. The corresponding commitment appropria-
tions will be entered in the budget, if necessary, over and above the ceilings.

When the Commission considers that the Reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary author-
ity a proposal for a transfer from the Reserve to the relevant budget lines.

At the same time as it presents its proposal for a transfer, the Commission will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a
simplified form, to secure agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use the Reserve and on the
amount required.

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-
tions and the citizens of Europe. The Commission has recognised this deficit and drawn up an action plan to address it.

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 1a, 3a, 3b, 4 and 5 of the financial framework in exchange for a financial contribution to operating
appropriations 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 2008 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,39 % (on the basis of 2006 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 2008 is estimated at about EUR 190,2 million in commitment appropriations. The EFTA countries will also share in the admin-
istrative 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.

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL
BUDGET

A. INTRODUCTION

This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 30(1) 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), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).

It provides information on the amounts of the borrowing-and-lending operations guaranteed by the general budget: loans for balance-of-payments
support, borrowing operations to provide macro-financial assistance to non-member countries, Euratom borrowings to contribute to the financ-
ing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries and European Invest-
ment Bank loans in certain non-member countries.

At 31 December 2006, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 16 198 000 000; of that total EUR 5 283 000 000
was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 10 915 000 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate appli-
cable at 31 December 2006).

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL
BUDGET

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 12 000 000 000 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 in case of default. As at 31 December 2006 the outstanding amount under this instrument was zero.

II. EURATOM BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS

III. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO

PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 2007/860/EC of 10 December 2007 providing macro-financial assistance for Lebanon (OJ L 337, 21.12.2007, p. 111).

2. Description

A macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 50 000 000 for Lebanon was authorised by the Council on 10 December 2007.

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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

IV. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO

PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 97/472/EC of 22 July 1997 providing macro-financial assistance for Bulgaria (OJ L 200, 29.7.1997, p. 61).

Council Decision 1999/731/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Bulgaria (OJ L 294, 16.11.1999,
p. 27).

Council Decision 1999/732/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Romania (OJ L 294, 16.11.1999,
p. 29).

2. Description

On 22 July 1997 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria long-term, macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 250 000 000, to be paid
in two tranches (BULGARIA III). The first tranche of EUR 125 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February 1998. The second tranche of
EUR 125 000 000 was paid on 22 December 1998.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria additional macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 100 000 000 (BUL-
GARIA IV). The loan was paid in two tranches. The first tranche of EUR 40 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 21 December 1999. The second
tranche of EUR 60 000 000 was paid on 29 September 2000.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Romania macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan of a principal of up to
EUR 200 000 000 for a maximum period of 10 years (ROMANIA IV). The first tranche of EUR 100 000 000 was paid on 29 June 2000. A
second tranche of EUR 50 000 000 was paid on 17 July 2003.

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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396,
31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

Georgia in order to extend it to Tajikistan (OJ L 77, 28.3.2000, p. 11).

2. Description

On 23 October 1995 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a second borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine.

The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 200 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years, and will be disbursed in two
tranches.

Half of the first tranche, i.e. EUR 50 000 000 of the EUR 100 000 000 planned, was paid in August 1996 and fully reimbursed on 29 August

with a maximum duration of 15 years.

The first tranche of EUR 110 000 000 was paid to Georgia on 24 July 1998. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

The loan of EUR 28 000 000 to Armenia was paid on 30 December 1998 and completely reimbursed by December 2005.

On 15 October 1998 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a third borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine
(UKRAINE III). The loan was initially for a maximum amount of EUR 150 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years. The
first tranche of EUR 58 000 000 was paid on 30 July 1999. Disbursement of the balance, under Decision 2002/639/EC, of EUR 110 000 000
is no longer planned.

On 20 March 2000 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending operation for Tajikistan. The loan
is for a maximum amount of EUR 75 000 000 principal with a maximum duration of 15 years. A loan of EUR 60 000 000 was paid in 2001.
The second tranche is no longer to be made.

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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

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.

In 2000 the Commission decided on a loan for Kozloduy in Bulgaria (EUR 212 500 000) and the last instalment was in 2006. In 2000 the
Commission granted a loan to K2R4 in Ukraine but reduced the loan amount to the EUR equivalent of USD 83 000 000 in 2004. In 2007
K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39 000 000 (first tranche) in 2007 under the 2004 Commission Decision. In 2004 the Commission decided
on a loan for Cernavodă in Romania (EUR 223 500 000). A first instalment of EUR 100 000 000 and a second one of EUR 90 000 000 were
disbursed in 2005 and the last one of EUR 33 500 000 in 2006.

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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396,
31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

credits disbursed and guarantees provided in respect of EIB Financing Operations less amounts reimbursed, plus all related sum.

3. 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.

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL
BUDGET

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 grant 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 overall
ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is lim-
ited 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 Feb-
ruary 2000 to 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not reached the
abovementioned total values, the period has automatically been 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.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South
Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Com-
munity for loans in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya (eligibility to be
decided by the Council), Morocco, Syria, Tunisia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision
is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible
extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

4. 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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— 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.

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and
are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

3. 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. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to
above, the period has been 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. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall
amounts referred to above, the period has been 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. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall
amounts referred to above, the period has been 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 overall ceil-
ing of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. 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 beginning on
1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not
attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

On 6 November 2000 the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the European Investment Bank to loans for
projects in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South
Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Com-
munity for loans in the following candidate countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate
countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under
the Decision is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013
with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

4. 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
actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1) as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 (OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

— one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

— activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratorm) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and
are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

Technical notes on Tables

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 2007.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2007’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total
of all amounts received up to 31 December 2007 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2007’: 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 2007, including repayments in
respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.
