Overall objectives

TITLE 01

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

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

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.

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

(1) With the exception of Switzerland.

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 December 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 par-
ticipation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the Euro-
pean Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the hori-
zontal 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 con-
ducted 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 Decem-
ber 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological develop-
ment 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 Funda-
mental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participa-
tion and role of women in science and research.

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 revenue 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, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appro-
priations 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 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.
