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 133 845 980 000 in commitment appropriations and EUR 116 096 060 000 in
payment appropriations, representing a growth rate of 2,51 % and of 0,28 % respectively by comparison with the 2008 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 116 096 060 000. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3278 % whilst that for the GNI resource
is 0,5847 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 16,54 % of the financing of the budget
for 2009. The VAT resource accounts for 16,90 % and the GNI resource for 65,39 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at
EUR 1 359 720 000.

The own resources needed to finance the 2009 budget account for 0,88 % 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 2009 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 2009

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 = 11 027 669 000 / (59 849 511 500 – 9 617 309 000) × 1/4 × 6 279 852 489 =
344 660 055

(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 = (6 279 852 489 – (344 660 055 + 93 505 504 + 40 278 555 + 47 438 124)) / (59 849 511 500 – (9 617 309 000 +
11 027 669 000 + 2 991 782 000 + 1 288 744 000 + 1 517 820 000))

Frozen rate = 0,172242649704235 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,172242649704235 % = 0,327757350295765 %

– 23 555 354

(1) Rounded percentages.
(2) The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to the sum, as adjusted by applying the EU-27 GDP deflator for 2007, of payments made under 2003 appro-
priations to the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 (as adjusted by applying the EU-25 GDP deflator for 2004, 2005 and 2006) as well as of
payments made under 2006 appropriations to Bulgaria and Romania. 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).

Former Article 1 1 0 (joining of former Articles 1 1 0, 1 1 2, 1 1 5 and 1 1 6)

The common organisation of the market in the sugar sector provides that sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers pay basic
and B production levies. These levies are 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 will then have to be paid by the producers in accordance with
Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Figures are net of collection costs.

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).

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) 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) when the obligation to store sugar carried forward is not complied with and the amounts due according to Council Regu-
lation (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) when the general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector are not
complied with.

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’.

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 2007 will be used for research in 2009.
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 2009 comes
to EUR 51 719 000.

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’.

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.

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 2007 will be used for research in 2009.
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 2009 comes
to EUR 51 719 000.

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.

Remarks

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.

— EUR 6 295 320 of the appropriations in the reserve will be released on presentation of a plan to the European Parliament
for guidelines to improve communication and ensure consistency in all the Commission’s communication measures and

mission with the aim of developing a recognisable EU mark to be used in all communication measures,

— EUR 6 295 320 of the appropriations in the reserve will be released when the Commission has fulfilled the conditions origi-
nally tabled to Item 19 01 01 01, namely: to create in all services concerned specific units for the follow-up of European
Union contributions in international trust funds,

— EUR 1 416 000 of the appropriations in the reserve will be released when the Commission has fulfilled the conditions origi-

nally tabled to Article 06 01 01, namely:

(a)

entering of the full financial contribution of the Commission to the Euratom Supply Agency (including staff, admin-
istration and operating expenditure) into European Union budget (section III) and publication of establishment plan
separately in budget,

(b)

formal withdrawal of the proposal for a Council Regulation on the Financial Regulation applicable to the Euratom
Supply Agency (COM(2007) 108 final).

— a study into the consequences and possible remedies for individuals affected by decisions taken at Community or national
level which relate to police, judicial or counter-terrorism measures and which violate human rights standards or human
rights legislation, taking into account recent decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (e.g. joined
cases C-402/05 and C-415/05),

— an assessment of the Commission’s IT landscape with the objective of having a comprehensive view of all directorates-

general and to develop a roadmap and specific measures for improving and harmonising IT systems,

— an external study on the functioning and interoperability of the Commission’s IT systems in the area of financial systems

and accounting, staff management, information and reporting systems and document management,

— an assessment of IT solutions for the management of Structural Funds in the Commission and the Member States, aiming
at analysing existing IT solutions (a) in the Member States for the implementation of projects and (b) in the Commission
for supervising the implementation of Structural Funds. Tangible recommendations to improve evaluation, auditing and
reporting of Structural Funds are deducted.

According to Eurobserver, energy-wood production in the 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 Euro-
pean Union 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 European Union and accounts for 54 % of primary energy production from renew-
able sources. Added to that, only two-thirds of the annual growth of the forests in the European Union 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
methods 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 European Union views energy wood and wood offcuts from tree felling, as well as third-generation renewable energy prod-
ucts, as a priority for future energy supply purposes, with a view to enhancing its energy independence and pursuing its sus-
tainable development 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 European Union has set itself.

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.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision 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.

Up to EUR 400 000 may be used for promoting dissemination activities, including events and publications.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) was created in 1994. Its founder members are the European Community, represented by

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 EIF during 2007 to 2010, 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.

TITLE 02 — ENTERPRISE

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

02 02 01 (cont’d)

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.

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.

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 contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision 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 appropriation is intended to cover an action ensuring 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 networks 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, European support tools, as well as the local business environment). The relevant representative bod-
ies (chambers of commerce and industry, craft associations) should help to support, co-ordinate and promote this programme
at national level.

Remarks

The aim of this initiative is to draw attention to the value, diversity and shared characteristics of European tourist destinations
and to promote both within Europe and in third countries the European 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 both within Europe and in the main third country markets,

— 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.

Remarks

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.

Pilot project — Facilitating access to insurance by self-employed builders and small building firms so as to stimulate inno-

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 support would be provided through insurance
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.

Remarks

The global economy is witnessing a qualitatively new form of international economic relations resulting in new opportunities
for SMEs in an international environment. Some of the reasons for seeking new markets might be:

— local markets are smaller in scope,

— national markets stagnate at certain times,

— access to international markets in pursuing high-growth objectives.

In the context of the Small Business Act (SBA) providing for R&D support programmes and transnational research, SMEs should
be involved in transnational projects subcontracting their expertise. The approach might lead to potential enhancing of the skills
and innovative strategies giving a competitive edge to SMEs. This preparatory action is aimed at testing the involvement of SMEs
in such actions and providing the necessary information in order to develop a strategy at a later stage, which could be imple-
mented at EU level.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the payments in respect of commitments relating to previous 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.

Legal basis

Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a Community action

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restric-
tive practices (Article 81 of the Treaty), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the Treaty), aids granted by States
(Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the
Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

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 arising from damages awarded by the Court to claimants and resulting
from legal proceedings against the Commission’s decisions in the field of competition.

Since 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).

— 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).

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
consultations, meetings, negotiations and other operations designed to achieve these objectives.

In addition, as the heading suggests, this appropriation can cover support for industrial relations measures, in particular those
designed to develop expertise and exchange of information on a European basis.

This 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, three subprogrammes have been established:

— support for European social dialogue,

— improvement of expertise in industrial relations,

— corporate social responsibility, inter alia by supporting projects of NGOs and NGO platforms aiming to promote innova-

tion, transparency and convergence of corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) practices and instruments.

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,

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,

TITLE 04 — EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS

CHAPTER 04 03 — WORKING IN EUROPE — SOCIAL DIALOGUE AND MOBILITY (cont’d)

04 03 04 (cont’d)

— 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,

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

No 1612/68,

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

— participation in the maintenance, enhancement and continuous development of computerised systems linking the EURES
network and its stakeholders. This includes a one-stop web portal, also accessible for disabled people, providing multilin-
gual access to information on job vacancies, CVs of potential candidates, living and working conditions, labour market
trends, education and training opportunities as well as other job mobility related contents. This portal should also address
the information needs of nationals of third countries, in particular from countries coming under the European Neighbour-
hood 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 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,

(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.

Remarks

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 presents each year a report on the social situation and every two years a report on
demographic change and its implications.

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 levels 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 people with disabilities

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

Remarks

Society is facing major change regarding industry and recreation. The advent of new family structures and emergence of single-
person households, increased free time, increased life expectancy and population ageing in general, and increasing insecurity for
young people, whether or not they are in employment, are all factors profoundly altering the tourism environment. Ensuring
universal access to holidays means, at Community level, taking account of the specific features of European society.

The European Union must therefore equip itself to realise that objective. One response is based on developing social tourism.

Social tourism is known, firstly, for what it seeks to do: allowing as many people as possible to go on holiday. Accordingly, it
aids mobility. Social tourism also has another purpose, however, which, to date, has been inadequately evaluated: regional devel-
opment — many tourism association facilities are located in the countryside or in highland areas — and local development.
Social tourism is therefore the proof that there is indeed an intermediate sector between the ‘leisure market’ and the non-solvent
economy. It proves that economic significance is not incompatible with accessibility for the greatest number.

Social desegregation must therefore be combined with local development. In promoting access for groups for which going on
holiday has progressively been made a difficult or even impossible undertaking, social tourism strengthens the tourism indus-
try’s earnings capacity. It enables off-season tourism to be developed, particularly in regions where tourism is highly seasonal.
Accordingly, social tourism encourages the creation of longer-lasting jobs in the tourism sector by making it possible to extend
them beyond the tourist season.

Implementing this project would be a genuine opportunity to promote partnerships, spurred on by the Commission, between
the public and private sectors and the social economy. Through exchanges between European citizens, in particular, the syn-
ergy this would create would make a very great contribution towards establishing European citizenship. It should be pointed
out in this connection that nearly 40 % of all trips for more than four nights are made abroad (1). The figures, which date from
2006, show large variations between Member States, which should be reduced.

The sector is therefore important in terms both of the economic impact resulting from the number of jobs and of civic resources.

The beneficiaries of this measure could therefore be private firms operating in the tourism sector and carrying out the tasks
described above, social tourism associations, works councils, transport firms, local and regional authority tourism associations
and solidarity associations, but also commercial operators too.

The measures could involve:

— cataloguing and disseminating measures helping to bring about deseasonalisation as a result of the social policy function

of tourism,

— devising arrangements enabling particular target groups (e.g. senior citizens, young people and families in difficult social
circumstances) to go on holiday on the basis of accommodation offers by public authorities (national, regional or local),
charitable organisations or any not-for-profit association.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives which help exploring the real working and living conditions of posted workers
and how the Member States, social partners and labour inspectorates work in practice. The pilot project focuses on few specific
sectors with a high number of posted workers e.g. construction, agriculture and healthcare sectors.

The purpose of the pilot project is to:

— promote the exchange of relevant information, establish best practices and publish an overview of the state of play in the

Member States,

— examine any questions and difficulties which might arise in practical application of the posting of workers legislation, as

well as in its enforcement in practice.

Measures covered will include the exchange of information on posted workers with a focus on:

— discrepancies between their wages and the remuneration of those workers who are in a similar occupation in the host

country,

— discrepancies between their working time spent at work and the working time defined in the contract,

— their real remunerated leave,

— their living conditions, including occupational health and safety conditions,

— their contractual arrangements and the duration of their posting,

— their trade union representation in the host country,

— how inspectorates work and the frequency of their control.

Remarks

The United Nations Environment Programme contends that more than a quarter of the planet’s agricultural land has become
degraded since the Second World War. Between 10 and 15 million hectares are currently lost each year.

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).

05 01 04 08 (cont’d)

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.

Remarks

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, 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 appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the 2007 to 2013 rural development programmes funded by the Euro-
pean Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).

Of the total commitment appropriations in this Item, an amount of EUR 1 305 700 000 results from the compulsory modu-
lation in conformity with Article 10 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common
rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers
(OJ L 270, 21.10.2003, p. 1). In addition an amount of EUR 424 000 000 results from the voluntary modulation in conformity
with Regulation (EC) No 378/2007. Rural development measures under all axes will be measured against more refined perfor-
mance indicators for farming systems and production methods so as to respond to the challenges related to climate change,
water protection, biodiversity and renewable energies.

This appropriation also aims to finance climate change adaptation measures, such as the construction of flood walls and raising
the level of dykes against sea level rise, development of drought tolerant crops, selection of forestry species and practices less
vulnerable to storms and fires and the development of spatial plans and corridors to help species migrate.

In accordance with the EU’s commitments under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture,
the establishment of a European open data and pooling bank for traditional plant varieties should be encouraged which will
enable non-governmental organisations and private and public-sector bodies to set up, alongside Member States’ national gene
banks, a seed pool for traditional varieties which are particularly valuable for preserving biodiversity in agriculture and for pro-
ducing quality foodstuffs.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to set up a pilot project for assessing the actual costs to farmers of complying with EU legislation
in the fields of the environment, animal welfare and food safety which goes beyond the standards to which import products are
subject. This legislation concerns inter alia the 18 regulations and directives underpinning the cross-compliance system, as well
as the standards defined as Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) which is also part of the cross-compliance
requirements.

This appropriation will be used to conduct a broad study assessing the compliance costs as described above in all Member States,
which might differ between Member States and even between regions within Member States because of differing climatic, geo-
logical, production, economic and social features. The study should be conducted by a well established scientific institute or a
consortium of such institutes.

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).

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 European Union’s
common transport policy, for all transport modes (inland, air, sea and river) and for all transport sectors (transport safety, inter-
nal market of transport with its implementation rules, optimisation of transport network, passengers rights and protection in
all transport modes as well as for all other sectors related to transport). The main endorsed actions and objectives are intended
to support the European Union’s common transport policy, including extension to third countries, technical assistance for all
transport modes and sectors, specific training, definition of rules of transport safety, promotion of the common transport policy
including establishment and implementation of trans-European network orientation endorsed by the treaty as well as strength-
ening passengers’ rights and protection to all transport modes and to enforce existing Regulations on passenger rights, in par-
ticular through awareness-raising activities about the content of those Regulations, targeted at both the transport industry as
well as the travelling public.

In connection with Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 estab-
lishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long
delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ L 46, 17.2.2004, p. 1), the Commission needs to develop addi-
tional measures to make enforcement of the Regulation more efficient.

These actions and objectives could be supported at different levels (local, regional, national, European and international), for all
transport modes and sectors and related to transport, as well as in technical, technological, regulatory, informative, environ-
mental, climatic, political fields and for sustainable development.

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,

— 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.

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.

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.

Legal basis

Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the
development of the trans-European transport network (OJ L 228, 9.9.1996, p. 1; corrected by OJ L 15, 17.1.1997, p. 1).

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 laid down in Decision No 1364/2006/EC.

Part of the appropriation should facilitate the establishment of the NG3 gas corridor (Middle East-Caspian-EU route) by estab-
lishing a coordinator’s office that actively proposes legal, financial and political solutions to issues faced in this strategic area.
Allocation of the funds will be at the discretion of the EU coordinator, within the limits of the applicable legal basis. The coor-
dinator will use this office to approach producer states.

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.

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,

infrastructure,

— approximation of legislation, technical standards and administrative monitoring practices relating to transport security,

— 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.

Remarks

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 Community Environment 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,

— 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,

ment processes, as a result of which there is a disparity in terms of development with older Member States. Sustainable coastal
development (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 hori-

A number of Member States have taken measures individually in this respect; therefore, numerous examples both of good and
of bad practice exist, alongside interdisciplinary studies and suggestions, based on but not limited to assessing damage caused
by modern intensive agricultural practices and climate change-related issues.

According to reports from the secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Portugal, Spain, Italy,
Greece, Malta, Latvia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey and Belarus, as well as other countries and regions in the European Union and
across Europe, are facing this major environmental and economic problem, and ‘business as usual’ scenarios show that agricul-
tural productivity is expected to drop even further in the next few years, thus threatening the security of food supply.

Moreover, desertification results not only in agricultural losses, but also in loss of biodiversity, reduction in soil fertility and
reduction in the capacity of soil to retain water, increased erosion and reduced carbon capture. Furthermore, floods and droughts
linked to climate change are becoming more frequent and more drastic in their effects, increasing to an even greater extent the
risk and negative economic and social consequences of desertification (see paragraph 17 of the European Parliament resolution
of 9 October 2008 on addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union (Texts adopted,
P6_TA(2008) 473).

The pilot project will involve:

— best practice exchange,

— demonstration of innovative approaches, know-how, new technologies, new methods and instruments, e.g. for water

conservation,

— development of a monitoring scheme for the evaluation of information gathered and development of a platform for
exchange of data with and between Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan and European Neighbour-
hood Policy (ENP) countries which would be open for consultation by other stakeholders,

— awareness-raising campaigns with and between Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan and ENP coun-
tries, as well as other stakeholders facing this environmental and economic problem, with the aim of helping to maintain
vegetation cover and surface and underground moisture levels, thus decreasing aridity and halting desertification,

— development of concrete pilot projects at local level to support innovative local measures on the conservation of rainwater

and surface water.

The pilot project could be improved in the future by addressing the issue of desertification on a Europe-wide basis in bilateral
or multilateral agreements.

National meteorological measurement networks have different instruments and often different regulations. Accurate climate field
modelling needs larger areas, but smaller countries cannot be used as a model for reproducing the climate of neighbouring
regions. These factors make comparison between national maps impossible. Additionally, some countries have national climate
atlases already, while some do not. The project will collect information on the measurements and on the existing databases. The
next step is the development of climate maps by exchanging data and information. In parallel with that, data quality and
standardisation methods will be compared. It is suggested that a mapping method be used for which there is no need for large
amounts of data to be exchanged between countries. The scale of the project will be enlarged to include the south-eastern
Europe (SEE) region at the next stage in collaboration with the parallel SEE climate mapping project, the precursor of
which was the ‘Summer School on Preparation of Climate Atlas’ organised by the Hungarian Meteorological Service
(http://www.met.hu/pages/seminars/seeera/index.htm).

The climate of the Carpathians and the Carpathian basin is fundamental input information for weather and climate forecasting.
The Carpathians Environment Outlook project (under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) umbrella), Danube
(seventh European corridor) and the Carpathian basin cover a large part of the watershed area. What will be produced will be
common maps and comparable national climate and meteorological maps, and there will be a possibility of enlarging the scope
of the project, plus a database of gridded maps for other future large projects.

Project starting date: 1 January 2009.

Project end date: 31 December 2010.

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.

The aim of the preparatory action is also to improve the mobilisation of additional operational resources and emergency sup-
port from Member States to assist other Member States or third countries in coping with forest fires too numerous and too
intense to be handled within the constraints of national logistical capacity and manpower. It is designed to test innovative
arrangements for making assistance available to Member States or third countries facing major forest fires. It covers in particu-
lar the setting-up by the Member States of a reserve of fire fighting capacities that may be made available in situations where
Member States are unable to provide the assistance because they have engaged all their national fire fighting capacities to respond
to forest fires or due to high risk of forest fires on their territory.

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
on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, 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 shall apply. 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 com-
pliance 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 devel-
opment 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.

Revenue resulting from cooperation agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community and Switzerland or the multilateral European
Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 2 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional
appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or institutes 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 Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 5 of the statement of
revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from States taking part in the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research will be entered in Item 6 0 1 6 of
the 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 contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participat-
ing in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations
pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution by outside bodies to Community activities will be entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue and may
lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 22 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

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. HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, new or reappearing pandem-
ics, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal
diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), rare diseases and neurodegenerative diseases).

An increased share of funding should go to research on non-HIV poverty-related tropical and neglected diseases, with special
attention to research on tuberculosis (TB).

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-

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) farm to fork: 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 and animal 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
biotechnology 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).

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 previous budget. This appropriation is further intended to fund the development
and improvement of the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) concept as a policy instrument for sustainable exploitation of fish-
eries resources and the development of a policy concept restricting 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
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,

Remarks

For the Seventh Framework Programme 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 trans-
port systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; and securing and fur-
ther developing the competitiveness and the leading role attained by the European industries in the global market.

The objective of the risk-sharing finance facility (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.

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

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 specific programme ‘People’ is the promotion of mobility, both trans-national
and intersectoral, 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
on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these

Remarks

The objective of the risk-sharing finance facility (RSFF) is to foster private investment in research by improving access to debt
financing for participants in European 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.

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

Remarks

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.

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-

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. 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

— Create an innovative, open and competitive single space for information society and media services in order to make available affordable and
secure high bandwidth communications, rich and diverse content and digital services, and further lead the transition to the future networks
and Internet.

— Increase the scale and the effectiveness of European Union investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) research and
take-up, and take further steps to overcome barriers to cross-border services and the current fragmentation in the Single Market that could
impede economic actors reaping the full benefits of a Single Market for the digital economy.

— Achieve an inclusive European information society providing growth and jobs in a manner that is consistent with sustainable development
and that prioritises better public services and quality of life. Ensure that public expectations and concerns arising from a changing techno-
logical landscape and market developments are addressed.

— facilitate the transition to the information society, in relation with electronic communications networks and services, par-

ticularly as a follow-up to the Lisbon summit,

— enable non-member countries to pursue a policy of opening up their markets to the same extent as in the European Union.

The specific objectives of these measures are:

— the formulation of Community policy in the field of communication services and networks (including convergence between

electronic communications and audiovisual environments, aspects related to the Internet, etc.),

— the development of radio spectrum policy in the Community,

— the development of activities in the mobile and satellite communications sector, particularly as regards frequencies,

— an analysis of the situation and the legislation adopted in these areas,

— the coordination of these policies and initiatives as regards the international environment (e.g. WRC, CEPT, etc.),

— the development of activities and initiatives in relation to the information society.

These measures consist, inter alia, of preparing analyses and progress reports, consulting stakeholders and the public, preparing
legislative proposals and monitoring the application of legislation.

This appropriation covers, in particular, contracts for analysis and expert reports, specific studies, evaluation reports, coordi-
nation activities, grants and the part-financing of certain measures.

The specific objectives are:

— tackling illegal content and harmful conduct online by supporting actions aiming at reducing the amount of illegal content
circulated online and dealing adequately with harmful conduct online, with particular focus on online distribution of child
sexual abuse material, grooming and bullying,

— promoting a safer online environment by bringing together stakeholders to find ways to promote a safer online environ-
ment and to protect children from content and conduct that may be harmful for them. The aim is to encourage stakehold-
ers to cooperate, take responsibility and develop and implement systems of self-regulation,

— ensuring public awareness by providing contact points where the public and in particular children, parents, carers, teachers
and educators can be informed about opportunities and risks related to the use of online technologies and means of stay-
ing safe online,

— establishing a knowledge base in order to set up and continue to develop a base for dealing adequately both with existing
and emerging uses, risks and consequences, and mapping both quantitative and qualitative aspects in this context. The
acquired knowledge will feed into the implementation of the proposed programme as well as into designing adequate
actions for ensuring online safety for all users.

The programme will seek to involve and bring together the different stakeholders whose cooperation is essential, but who do
not necessarily always come together unless the appropriate structures are put in place.

This includes content providers, Internet service providers, mobile network operators, regulators, standards bodies, industry self-
regulatory bodies, national, regional and local authorities responsible for industry, education, consumer protection, families, law
enforcement, children’s rights and child welfare and non-governmental organisations active in consumer protection, families,
children’s rights and child welfare.

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

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

ing best practice or involving innovative uses of existing technology,

— networks and national actions bringing together a variety of stakeholders to ensure action throughout Europe and to facili-

tate coordination activities and transfer of knowledge,

— Europe-wide investigation carried out on a comparable basis into the way adults and children use online technologies, the
resulting risks for children and the effects of harmful practices on children, and behavioural and psychological aspects with
emphasis on child sexual abuse related to the use of online technologies, investigation on upcoming risk situations due to
transforming behaviours or technological developments, etc.

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

— benchmarking and opinion surveys to produce reliable data on safer use of online technologies for all Member States col-

lected through comparable methodologies,

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

technologies,

— studies in support of the programme and its actions,

— exchange of information through conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered

activities,

— dissemination, information and communication activities.

This appropriation is intended to finance the staff and administrative expenditure of the European Network and Information
Security Agency as provided for by Regulation (EC) No 460/2004.

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

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

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

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

The Commission, if requested by the Agency, undertakes to notify the budgetary authority of transfers made between operating
and administrative appropriations.

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-

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 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).

COMMISSION
TITLE 09 — INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

CHAPTER 09 03 — i2010 — ICT TAKE-UP (cont’d)

09 03 01 (cont’d)

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 persons with disabilities and persons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions
(dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.).

This will be done in particular by supporting the development and use of digital content and the development of ICT-based ser-
vices in areas of public interest, including in the areas of eHealth, eGovernment, eInclusion, eParticipation, ICT for energy effi-
ciency, education and learning and environment. Part of ICT PSP appropriations in the CIP may be used to ensure the
deployment, across the EU, of interoperable emergency services and 112 call facilities for all citizens, permitting quicker and
more efficient responses and life saving, inter alia through remodelling of the traditional technical emergency calling architec-
ture and lowering its cost and complexity, with the ultimate aim of providing an optimum response to 112 calls made by all
citizens, including users with disabilities. The ICT PSP 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. As indicated in the CIP
legal base (Decision No 1639/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing a Com-
petitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007-2013)), the support to the development and use of digital content is
fully integrated in the ICT PSP from 2009 on. During a transition phase for 2007 and 2008, this has been done under the eCon-
tent plus programme (through its own legal basis). The preparatory action eParticipation, which has thus far proved very suc-
cessful, will be continued as part of the regular Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programmes in order to involve
members of the public, businesses, NGOs and socio-economic and political interest groups in legislative and decision-making
processes.

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-
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 contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision 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
provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

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 Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowl-
edge, 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.

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,

Remarks

Former Article 09 04 01

The objective of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and
demonstration activities (2007-2013) and the theme ’Information and Communication Technologies’ of the specific programme
’Cooperation’ is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape the future devel-
opments in ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base and insure its global leadership in ICTs, help drive and stimu-
late innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens, busi-
nesses, industry and 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 leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important
ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from new or improved organi-
sational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme also supports other policies of the European Union by
mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme coor-
dination initiatives. Also entered in this Article are the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project
reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commis-
sion, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of
the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including
measures under previous framework programmes.

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 under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which
forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

Investing in knowledge is the best way for Europe to foster sustainable growth in a global economy and 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 demonstration activities aims to enhance research and innovation capacity through-
out Europe through the emergence and reinforcement of multidisciplinary European poles of excellence. In particular, research
infrastructures play a key role in supporting the creation of knowledge, its dissemination, application and exploitation, thus fos-
tering innovation.

CHAPTER 09 05 — CAPACITIES — RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES (cont’d)

09 05 01 (cont’d)

This activity addresses more specifically the deployment of ICT-based infrastructures, or e-infrastructures. These provide ser-
vices to research communities by bringing the power of distributed ICT-based resources (computing, connectivity, storage, 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 exploitation, 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-
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.

MARITIME AFFAIRS AND FISHERIES

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.

60 % 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 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.

This appropriation also covers funding for cooperation and training seminars for third countries in the fight against illegal
fishing.

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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.

Overall objectives

DG Internal Market and Services contributes to the Commission’s strategic goal of enhancing prosperity in the European Union by pursuing efforts
to develop an open, integrated and competitive single market in order to create opportunities for enterprises and professionals. This work involves
preparing new regulations in the areas of public procurement, intellectual property, services and financial services, and ensuring that existing single
market rules are effectively applied in Member States. The DG is also responsible for legislation which allows qualified professionals to work in
other European Union countries on the basis of a system of ‘mutual recognition’ of their qualifications. In carrying out this work, the DG aims to
deliver tangible benefits to consumers and respond to their expectations and concerns.

General objectives of the policy area:

— create opportunities for enterprises and professionals in the Single Market,

— deliver tangible benefits to consumers in the Single Market.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure arising in connection with measures for the management and development
of Solvit and for the implementation of the single market assistance services action plan.

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 businesses, arising as a result of the misapplication of
internal market legislation by a public administration in another Member State. Furthermore, the Solvit system is able to pro-
duce feedback information by using an online database system which is accessible to all coordination centres and to which citi-
zens and business can directly submit their problems.

However, Solvit like many other public assistance services relating to EU issues is still not widely known among potential users
of the system. At the same time citizens and businesses are often very confused about the right address for their requests for
information, assistance or problem solving. To remedy this, the Commission has announced, as part of the Single Market review,
that it will endeavour to create a single web-based access point guiding citizens and business to the right service. Moreover, in
its May 2008 action plan on Single Market Assistance Services a range of actions is proposed to increase cooperation between
the existing assistance services so that they can offer a better, faster and more streamlined overall service to citizens and
businesses.

Promotion of all these services also needs to take place in a more coordinated way to avoid citizens and businesses being con-
fused by too many brand names.

The aim of the proposed Convention for Urban and Rural Europe (CURE) is to offer — at the time of the mid-term review of EU
programmes and financial perspectives in 2009/2010 — recommendations on policy frameworks and measures which will
assist a sustainable approach to the future of urban and rural areas in Europe, achieved through effective partnership between
governments and civil society.

The Convention process will enable European citizens and stakeholders to contribute to the revision and design of European
policies concerning sustainable rural-urban relations. It is designed to bring together rural and urban interests through a series
of thematic seminars based in different European regions and European civil society networking.

It is envisaged that seminars will focus on one or more of a series of major themes or issues within the broad context of sus-
tainability and territorial cohesion: either general themes, 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, and 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. A particular focus will be
the interdependence of cities and rural areas, and overarching regional or territorial solutions.

The process should reach a climax at a Convention gathering, preferably in autumn 2009, 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 ensuring the realisation of

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 2009/2010, especially regarding regional and rural development and territorial cohesion.

The pilot project should also reflect the proper preparation and implementation of the institutional process in terms of con-
sultations, networking, data collection, evaluation, field visits, research, etc. A number of Member States have taken measures to
promote Roma integration. Examples both of good and of bad practice are numerous, alongside a growing corpus of socio-
logical, legal and policy-oriented research.

A Roma Unit could be set up to explore, from an EU policy implementation point of view, sectorial issues and propose appro-
priate actions and measures to be included in the proposals for a Roma Inclusion Action Plan.

It could also take on the task of examining cross-sector cooperation and use of the existing different financial instruments, pro-
posing pilot projects and detecting transferable and sustainable good practice which can then contribute to producing concrete
policy proposals.

In this context, reference can be made to the need for long-term proposals on the housing and urban development aspects
(linked to issues of segregation, ghettoisation, etc., when badly prepared) in connection with innovative use of regional funds
and EIB/EBRD support, or the huge issue of data collection (and protection), statistics, etc., but also the obviously related issues
of combating crime and trafficking, as well as basic registration problems.

Particular attention has to be given to the issue of media coverage and communication in general.

As an essential prerequisite for success, a process of structured dialogue with Roma civil society has to be developed at local,
national and EU level.

The European Parliament has been a pioneer in promoting Roma rights; its first resolution on the issue goes back to 1984. Dur-
ing the present term, the European Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions on the specific situation of Roma in Europe.
In particular, in its resolution of 31 January 2008 on a European strategy on the Roma, the European Parliament urged ‘the
Commission to develop a European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion aimed at providing policy coherence at EU level as
regards the social inclusion of Roma and urges the Commission at the same time to comprehensively shape a Community Action
Plan on Roma Inclusion with the task of providing financial support for realising the objective of the European Framework Strat-
egy on Roma Inclusion’. Also, in its resolution of 10 July 2008 on the census of the Roma on the basis of ethnicity in Italy, the
European Parliament reiterated those requests and again called on the Commission and the Member States, within the frame-
work of an EU Roma Strategy and in the context of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, to enact legislation and policies
to support Roma communities while promoting their integration in all fields, to launch anti-racism and anti-discrimination pro-
grammes in schools, employment and the media and to enhance the exchange of expertise and best practices.

The European Parliament reiterates in this context the importance of developing strategies at EU and national level, making full
use of the opportunities provided by EU funds, to abolish Roma segregation in education, to ensure equal access to quality edu-
cation for Roma children (participation in mainstream education, introduction of special scholarship and trainee programmes,
additional and concrete measures to promote pre-school education for Roma children and postgraduate studies at national and
international level for Roma students as well as educating an effective group of ‘Roma diplomats’ able to bridge the gap between
Roma communities and public institutions), to ensure and improve Roma access to labour markets, to provide equal access to
health care and social security benefits, to combat discriminatory practices in the provision of housing, and to increase the par-
ticipation of the Roma in social, economic, cultural and political life.

The European Parliament reaffirms the need to set up a network of academic and civil experts with a clear mandate to propose
specific pilot projects and elaborate projects triggering immediate changes.

The aim of the pilot project is also to ensure the integrated education of Roma families, focusing simultaneously on the early
integration of children in pre-school education, the training of parents and the conducting of community activities for the whole
family, also with a view to improving adults’ passive skills.

Remarks

The objective of this pilot project is to provide help and support for local and regional councils in the European Union.

The first principle of the pilot project is to encourage and support the mobility of both elected local and regional representatives
within the European Union. The second principle of the pilot project is that the mobility element is included in an agreed pro-
gramme of on-the-spot training and sharing of experience with focus on ‘economic and social cohesion’.

Goals are:

— to encourage multilateral cooperation between territorial and local and regional institutions on a political level,

— to support the mobility of elected local and regional representatives,

— to stimulate common research and exchange of ideas on the problems they encounter on a regular basis by means of

on-the-spot training and the sharing of experience,

— to promote the exchange of best practices.

The pilot project is thus a tool to enhance the learning and experience of elected local and regional representatives; and to
increase the capacity of local and regional councils in regard to the application of concepts, democratic principles and strategies.

This project aims to develop a comprehensive strategy that would promote knowledge of, and experience from, EU regional
policy for third countries. This strategy should include the organisation of international events, information activities, network
building between regional and local stakeholders, development of joint projects and new regional partnerships, as well as the
exchange of good practices between regions. By promoting the EU cohesion policy model as a success story through a number
of regional dialogues, the EU will use these actions to exemplify and advance its values, fundamental principles, organisational
structures and policies on a global scale. Cooperation with international organisations active in this field (FOGAR, UCLG) will
prove to be particularly beneficial to that end.

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 (CIP), 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, Joint European Resources

for Micro to Medium Enterprises (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.

The purpose of the appropriation is to cover the implementation of the preparatory action adopted for 2008; it will be used, in
particular, to develop a seed fund for non-banking institutions.

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).

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

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

of traineeships and communication and information campaigns.

The selection of trainees is based on objective, transparent criteria and reflects a geographical balance.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Erasmus Mundus II programme (2009-2013), as well as remaining payments of
actions during the previous Erasmus Mundus programme 2004-2008. The objectives of the Erasmus Mundus II programme
are:

— to foster structured cooperation between higher education institutions and academic staff in Europe and third countries

with a view to creating poles of excellence and providing highly trained human resources,

— to contribute to the mutual enrichment of societies by developing a pool of well-qualified, open-minded and internation-
ally experienced women/men through promoting mobility in order for the most talented students and academics from third
countries to obtain qualifications and/or experience in the European Union and for the most talented European students
and academics to do the same in third countries,

— to contribute to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of higher education insti-

tutions in third countries through increased mobility streams between the European Union and third countries,

— to improve accessibility and enhance the profile and visibility of European higher education in the world as well as its attrac-

tiveness for third-country nationals.

tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the

These actions and programmes should strive to strengthen intercultural dialogue.

The integrated programme should comprise measures to promote learning of the languages of neighbouring countries and the
setting-up of an Internet platform, open to all interested persons, to coordinate the language learning process and offer aids,
including self-study aids. It should support cooperation and best-practice exchange. These measures should be geared in par-
ticular to young people (school pupils and students) and local authorities.

The actions and programmes should also have the objective of encouraging vocational training at European level and improv-
ing the multilingual skills of teaching staff.

Part of the appropriation under this budget Article will be used to support projects for analysing and spreading good practices
throughout the EU and reflecting on a framework for the assessment of media literacy levels and activities. Particular attention
may be given to projects which analyse media representations and media values, encourage the production and distribution of
media literacy related content, stimulate the use of media in order to improve participation in social and community life and
concentrate on the implementation of media literacy initiatives bridging the media industry and the education world. Benefi-
ciaries may be organisations from the public and private sectors which have expertise and European experience in media lit-
eracy issues.

New Article

On 11 July 2007, the Commission adopted the White Paper on Sport (COM(2007) 391 final), which is the first comprehensive
Commission policy document in this area. The White Paper creates a policy framework for sport at EU level, defines its specific
role and values, and identifies problems and challenges. In the conclusion, the White Paper states that ‘the Commission may
return to this issue and indicate further steps in the context of a new Treaty provision’. The White Paper thus paves the way
towards the implementation of the provisions on sport in the Treaty of Lisbon if ratified (Article 149 of the EC Treaty, as
amended by the Treaty of Lisbon).

The objective of the preparatory action in the field of sport for 2009 is to prepare future EU actions in the field of sport with a
view to implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon after ratification on the basis of priorities set in the White Paper on Sport as
approved by the Commission. This objective can be attained by:

— providing support for the identification of future policy actions in the area of sport; policy support can take the form of

studies, conferences and seminars to consult stakeholders and develop better knowledge of the field of sport,

— testing the establishment and functioning of suitable networks and good practices (for instance in the fields of physical activ-

ity, sports training and volunteering in sport) which can serve as a basis for future actions in the area of sport.

The appropriation is intended to serve three purposes:

— coordination at European level of measures by national anti-doping organisations and measures to encourage cooperation

between them so as to ensure more effective action to prevent and respond to cases of doping,

— creation of a European network to actively combat doping,

— formulation of conclusions and recommendations regarding the contribution of the European Union to combating dop-
ing, given the alarming proportions it has assumed, with the resulting texts being translated into the official EU languages.

Under the Pierre de Coubertin Action Plan (actions 4 and 5), part of the appropriation may be used for the organisation of a
three-day European convention of the 27 national anti-doping organisations, also involving the World Anti-Doping Agency
(WADA) and the International Olympic Committee. The convention would be hosted by a different European city each year.

Part of the budget available is intended as a contribution to the financing of the Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy, in June
2009. These games, held under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, are organised every four years and are the
greatest sporting event in the Mediterranean region, attracting the participation of 23 countries and bringing Europe, Asia and
Africa together.

Part of the budget available is intended to provide a contribution to the ‘Unified Sports Programme’ and to support the Special
Olympics. This programme will integrate young people with and without disabilities across Europe. The money will guarantee
those young people access to training, competitions, social activities and events. The Special Olympics programme has been
fully costed, and matching funding has been secured for any monies provided for in the budget.

Part of this appropriation will be allocated for the organisation of the 10th summer biannual European Youth Olympic Festival
(EYOF), to be held between 18 and 25 July 2009 in Tampere in Finland. Forty-nine European National Olympic Committees
and over 3 300 team members will participate in this week-long festival celebrating European youth, culture and sport. In addi-
tion to official team members over 2 000 European volunteers will contribute to the event. EYOF Tampere 2009 will be the
largest EYOF to date and the second largest international multiple sports event organised in Finland since the 1952 Summer
Olympic Games in Helsinki.

The European Union has recognised the important role sport plays in education, culture, social inclusion and public health
within European society. Furthermore, the Treaty of Lisbon would give Europe a legal basis to support Member States with the
social, educational and cultural aspects of sport. EYOF Tampere 2009 is an excellent opportunity to highlight the role of vol-
unteers and non-profit sports organisations as regards educating and bringing up European youth. The key messages of EYOF
Tampere 2009 for the young European athletes include tolerance, multiculturalism and volunteering.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund general information operations concerning the European Union, for the purpose of mak-
ing more visible the work of the Community institutions, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. It con-
cerns essentially the funding or co-funding of the production and/or dissemination of multimedia (radio, TV, Internet, etc.)
information products, including networks, as well as the tools necessary to develop such a policy.

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.

Legal basis

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 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 through:

— 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,

— the opening and management of information centres and spaces for the general public, in particular the opening and man-
agement of ‘European Public Spaces’ (EPS) in the Europe Houses that are formally hosting them. The Commission will man-
age the logistical arrangements for the EPS for the benefit of both institutions (Parliament and Commission), including
operational costs such as the organisation of contracted services. The EPS must be run jointly by the two institutions on
the basis of an assessment report on the management and the functioning of the EPS, as well as of a working programme
for the year to come. Both these documents, which will be drafted jointly by the two institutions and constitute the fun-
damental elements for allocation of funds for the following year, are to be presented to the budgetary authorities in time to
be taken into account in the budgetary procedure.

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

Legal basis

Tasks 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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund communication activities mainly around communication priorities at Commission level
and at EU level.

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:

— Debate Europe, the new step of the ‘Plan-D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate’,

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

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

— management partnership or communication operations organised in partnership with the Member States in order to cre-
ate synergies between the means of action employed by the Member States and the Commission and coordinate their infor-
mation and communication activities 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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the analysis of trends in public opinion, mainly by means of opinion polls (e.g. general-
public ‘Eurobarometer’ surveys, ‘flash’ surveys, by telephone, of specific populations on particular subjects, at regional, national,
or European level, or qualitative surveys), together with quality control of these surveys.

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 activities, 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.

The measures are carried out:

— by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters,

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

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 online 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. Online 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 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 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, which must constitute the main point of access to the existing information and websites concerning the
administrative information which European citizens might need in their daily lives and which therefore must be better struc-
tured and made more user-friendly,

— the Europe Direct contact telephone centre (00800-67891011),

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

— online press releases, speeches, memos, etc. (RAPID).

This appropriation is intended to fund the restructuring of the Europa site in a more coherent way. It is also intended to cover
information campaigns for facilitating access to these sources of information, especially for the Europe Direct telephone number.

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

Remarks

This payment appropriation is intended to cover commitments relating to previous years under Decision No 20/2004/EC estab-
lishing a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy for the years 2004 to 2007. The
Decision was repealed by Decision 1926/2006 (see Article 17 02 02).

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 contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

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 the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations pursuant to 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

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to the World Health Organisation Framework Convention
on Tobacco Control (FCTC), which the Community ratified and to which it will become a party once it has deposited its act of
ratification. Since the contribution covers two years, the appropriations 2008 are used to cover the contribution to WHO for
2008 and 2009.

Legal basis

Remarks

The second public health programme replaces the previous programme established by Decision No 1786/2002/EC 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.

17 03 06 (cont’d)

(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.

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.

The objective is also for the Commission to implement the Health In All Policies strategy under the Structural Funds. Such a
project should cover proposals for methods on how health issues could be incorporated — in accordance with the Health In All
Policies strategy — into regional development projects. The project aims to enhance overall health in the European Union by
means of capacity building in the context of regional development agencies.

The budget should cover training courses, international events, exchange of experiences, good practices, and international col-
laboration with a view to the practical use of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) both for local government and development agen-
cies and for individuals or companies willing to apply for a grant provided by the European Union.

With regard to the crucial importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the European Union, they should be provided
with professional support for compliance with environmental health rules, and to help them make positive changes to envi-
ronmental health affecting company operation.

A European database on health issues and a database on environment issues should be interconnected so that further research
could be improved for analysing the link between environment quality and state of health.

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 contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

The European Parliament is concerned about increasing staff fluctuation and therefore requests the Authority to inform it about
the results of the ‘Staff satisfaction survey’ carried out in 2007 and, more important, about the implementation of measures relat-
ing to the results of that survey.

The amounts in the reserve will be released when the abovementioned information has been received by Parliament and the
Authority can prove to the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety of the European Parliament full oper-
ability and efficient working methods taking into account the conclusions of the survey.

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

Former Article 04 04 11

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives which help deal with the new employment situation in the health sector, par-
ticularly in relation to professional qualifications and duties carried out by healthcare workers, healthcare assistants and lower-
skilled nurses and which help examine the effects of cross-border mobility both in the host country and the country of origin.
Measures covered will include:

— analysing factors and policies with a view to better meeting the need for measures to increase the supply and improve the

qualifications of health care staff in the long run,

— promoting exchanges on policies and best practices with a view to coping with the increase in care consumption due to

demographic change,

— funding initiatives which help examine cross-border effects on health services,

— paying attention to the effects of different levels of remuneration, which may come to light in this context,

— studies, meetings with experts and information campaigns; a solution should also be found to maintain the level of care in

national healthcare systems,

— analysing the relationship between healthcare and social care and work on producing comparable data. A solid database,
which also includes gender and diversity aspects, will be crucial to enhance the Open Method of Coordination when it has
been extended to healthcare.

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

way, Serbia and Slovakia) should:

— assess the associations between the school environment and children’s (respiratory) health,

— assess the associations between the impact of transport on the school environment and children’s (respiratory) health,

— assess the associations between the impact of climate change on the school environment and children’s (respiratory) health,

— issue recommendations for improving the quality of the school environment for the better health of children and a Guide-

line for Healthy European Schools.

Project starting date: 1 January 2009.

Project end date: 31 December 2010.

Remarks

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.

As from 2008, this Item is no longer being used.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community’s contribution to measures for eliminating obstacles to the free move-
ment of goods in these sectors, for veterinary support and at back-up action.

It consists in providing financial assistance:

— for the purchase, storage and formulation of foot-and-mouth antigens,

Remarks

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.

In 2008, this preparatory action was launched to cover the costs of developing improved control posts (resting points) for ani-
mals during long journeys. In the interests of animal health and welfare, it has been necessary to introduce specific measures to
avoid stress, for example, when animals are unloaded and reloaded, and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

No new appropriations as from 2009, the actions launched in 2008 will be pursued till their completion and paid in 2009.

The European Community subsidy for 2009 amounts to a total of EUR 85 000 000. An amount of EUR 7 000 000 coming
from the recovery of surplus is added to the amount of EUR 78 000 000 entered in the budget.

The increase in the operational budget would enable the Agency to sustain the commitment to permanent missions, notably at
the southern borders of the Union (Hera, Nautilus and Poseidon), as from 2009.

improve the quality of the management of activities organised by the consular and other services of the Member States in
third countries as regards the flow of third country nationals in the territory of the Member States and cooperation between
Member States in this regard.

In the framework of the Kaliningrad Transit Scheme, this appropriation is intended to cover foregone fees from transit visas and
additional costs (investment in infrastructures, training of border guards and rail staff, additional operational cost) incurred in
implementing the Facilitated Transit Document and Facilitated Rail Transit Document scheme in accordance with Council Regu-
lation (EC) No 693/2003 (OJ L 99, 17.4.2003, p. 8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 694/2003 (OJ L 99, 17.4.2003, p. 15).

objective of promoting the progressive inclusion of customs, veterinary and phytosanitary controls in integrated border man-
agement activities according to policy developments in this field. These actions can also be used to provide supporting services
to Member States in duly substantiated emergency situations requiring urgent action at the external borders of the Member
States.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, as regards structural measures, projects and measures concerning the reception of refu-
gees, displaced persons and asylum applicants which meet the conditions governing eligibility for Community financial aid.

It is intended to support Member States’ efforts to integrate refugees and other persons granted supplementary support, and to
permit displaced persons a life for which they themselves are responsible, through measures taken chiefly in the following areas:

— facilitating access to employment, including vocational training,

— acquisition of knowledge of the language, society, culture and institutions of the host country,

— facilitating access to housing and to the medical and social infrastructure of the host country,

— support for persons in particular need of protection, such as unaccompanied minors and torture and rape victims,

— integration into local structures and activities,

— improvement in public awareness and understanding of refugees’ situation,

— analysis of the situation of refugees in the European Union,

— training on gender issues for officials, healthcare workers and police officers at reception centres,

— separate accommodation for single women and girls.

Moreover, it is intended to support efforts of the voluntary burden sharing operations by Member States, such as the resettle-
ment, reception and integration by Member States of refugees coming from third countries and recognised by UNHCR and trans-
fers of applicants and beneficiaries of international protection from one Member State to another which grants them equivalent
protection.

Part of this appropriation will be used for supporting the Member States in direct cooperation with United Nations humanitar-
ian and other agencies which on a voluntary basis extend resettlement in a flexible manner in acute refugee situations. The focus
will be on the most vulnerable groups and cases where other durable solutions are regarded as having been ruled out.

Particular attention should be given to when the appropriation can be used to demonstrate a significant and tangible act of soli-
darity at European level which can produce added value as part of a broader approach on delivery of humanitarian support to
a country or region.

At the Commission’s initiative, this appropriation is also intended to cover transnational actions or actions of interest to the
Community as a whole (Community actions) concerning asylum policy and measures applicable to the target population of the
Fund, in particular to offer adequate support to joint efforts by Member States to identify, share and promote best practices and
establish effective cooperation structures in order to enhance the quality of decision making.

This appropriation is also intended to cover earlier commitments from ERF I and II, including those regarding voluntary
repatriation.

It is also intended to finance a Community action to compile data for collaboration and exchange of best practices among child-
care workers in closed detention centres for asylum seekers and immigrants.

A solidarity mechanism will be established to facilitate the voluntary reallocation of refugees and beneficiaries of international
protection from Member States which are facing severe pressure from immigration flows to other Member States. The mecha-
nism would be established at EU level and brought into operation on a trial basis so that it may eventually be continued under
a Common European Asylum System. Member States would freely determine all aspects of the selection process on a voluntary
basis. The Commission would set the framework, issue guidelines, encourage participation and facilitate management and
coordination.

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, well-being or access to protection
provided for under Community legislation.

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 Union.

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.).

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.

This appropriation is intended to fund a preparatory action embodying the efforts which the Union has been making to pro-
mote preventive measures to combat violence against children and adolescents of both sexes and against women, with a view

violence, prostitution and trafficking, female genital mutilation and crimes of honour,

— analyse shortcomings in applying legislation on gender violence in each Member State,

— implement the process of European-level harmonisation of legislation against gender violence by proposing provisions to

combat and reduce gender violence within the European Union.

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001
regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43) and of the
creation of an interinstitutional server giving online access to the EU law-making process.

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.

Remarks

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) — adopted on 10 March 2004 and 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)
— was replaced by a thematic cooperation programme with third countries in these fields under the Development Cooperation
Instrument (DCI) (Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006).

The general aim of the DCI is to make the Community’s external assistance more effective. Under this programme, the objective
of the thematic programme on cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum is to support third coun-
tries in their efforts to ensure better management of migratory flows in all their dimensions. Appropriations are used to pro-
vide, in a specific and complementary way, technical and financial assistance for third countries to support them in these efforts.

The Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit has the objective of
fostering the links between migration and development, as well as to mitigate the brain drain from south to north in the pro-
cess, to promote well-managed labour migration, to fight illegal migration, to fight smuggling and the trafficking of human
beings and facilitate re-admission, to protect migrants and to help third countries to improve their capacities to fulfil their inter-
national obligations in the field of asylum and migration.

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 the rule of law, as well as of human rights and of fundamental freedoms, will consti-
tute an essential element for the application of this instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be
associated with measures aimed at strengthening democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international instru-
ments in this field, including the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational pro-
gramme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

these appropriations.

Remarks

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 (EUSR), in particular, preparatory measures may inter alia serve to assess the operational require-
ments for an envisaged action, to provide for a rapid initial deployment of personnel and resources (e.g. mission expenses, pur-
chase of equipment, 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 opera-
tions on specific technical issues (e.g. identification and assessment of procurement needs) or security training for staff to be
deployed to an ESDP mission/EUSR team.

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
and 19 03 07.

Remarks

The general objective will be to contribute to the development and consolidation of democracy 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:

— enhancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in countries and regions where they are most at risk,

— strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights and democratic reform, in supporting the peaceful con-

ciliation of group interests and in consolidating political participation and representation,

— supporting actions on human rights and democracy issues in areas covered by EU Guidelines, including on human rights

dialogues, on human rights defenders, on the death penalty, on torture, and on children and armed conflict,

— 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.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when con-
cluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by International Organisations, will make
all efforts that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Inter-
nal Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Community Funds.

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).

Remarks

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.

Legal basis

Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

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
into account the gender-specific aspects of torture against women and girls — and their families and for other organisations
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,

— 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.

It is also intended to cover funding for the operation of the International Criminal Court, including support for international,
regional or local organisations, including NGOs, in order to promote further ratifications of the Statute of the Court, to provide
legal expertise to transpose the Statute into national legislation, to enhance public support for the Court and to provide training
regarding the Court’s developments.

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.

This pilot project is intended to foster common transatlantic approaches to key international policy challenges, e.g. environ-
mental issues, such as climate change, and financial assistance coordination in countries such as Afghanistan or Kosovo. Mea-
sures under this pilot project will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international community and be complementary
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,

(1) An appropriation of EUR 1 200 000 is entered in Chapter 40 02.

— 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,

— assisting with the special needs of women and children affected by armed conflict, particularly rehabilitation of children

affected by war, including child soldiers,

— preparedness measures aimed at strengthening the capacity of international, regional and sub-regional organisations, state
and non-state actors in relation to their efforts in promoting early warning, confidence-building, mediation and reconcili-
ation and addressing emerging inter-community tensions, and in improving post-conflict and post-disaster recovery. In this
regard, the Commission will also enhance the capacity of civil society organisations, building upon previous support under
the conflict prevention network preparatory action,

— support for international criminal tribunals and ad hoc national tribunals, truth and reconciliation commissions, and

mechanisms for the legal settlement of human rights claims,

— support for measures to address, in the context of Community cooperation policies and their objectives, the impact on the

civilian population of the illicit use of and access to firearms,

— support for measures to promote and defend respect for human rights,

— support for measures to support the development and organisation of civil society.

Part of the appropriation for crisis response measures will be managed through a facility fund for NGO-led activities at grass-
roots level to prevent violent escalations.

In 2009, the exceptional country-specific crisis response measures will take NGO proposals more into account and increase the
share spent on those proposals.

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

Part of this appropriation is to be used for crisis management in Georgia so as to mitigate the consequences of the conflict in
summer 2008.

Appropriations under this Item will be used to provide financial assistance to address the effects of the crisis that occurred in
Georgia after the recent conflict with Russia, to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms and to ensure safety and secu-
rity for individuals. The total budget for the aid is to be decided at an international donors conference.

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-

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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 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 European
volunteers with the necessary training, make other preparatory arrangements for them and cover the cost of the volunteers’
operation in a third country plus costs possibly arising after an operation but directly related to it.

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

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

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

— support for measures to address threats to international transport, and critical infrastructure, including passenger and freight

traffic,

— ensuring an adequate response to major threats to public health, such as epidemics with a potential trans-national impact.

Such measures may be adopted under this instrument in the context of stable conditions, where they aim to address specific
global and transregional threats having a destabilising effect, and only to the extent that an adequate and effective response can-
not be provided under related Community instruments for external assistance. This appropriation is also intended to cover
completion of payments for measures funded under former budget line 19 02 11 ‘North-south cooperation schemes in the cam-
paign against drugs and drug addiction’.

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. The amounts entered on
the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational pro-
gramme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Remarks

The European Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving its Member States and the
neighbouring partner countries (2). 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 devel-
oping a stronger 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 com-
mon interests 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 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 inter alia to promote social inclusion.

The active involvement of the EU in, and its support for, the Middle East peace process will continue in 2009. It should, in par-
ticular, ensure the provision of aid to UNRWA, with a view to meeting Palestine refugees’ needs. Additional funding is required
in order to meet the needs of the Palestinian population which have remained pressing ever since the elections in January 2006
and which have been further exacerbated by the de facto split between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in June 2007.

The contribution to the financing of the operations of UNRWA has to be calculated by taking into account not only inflation
but also the growing needs of people in the Gaza Strip, so as to enable the agency to alleviate their increasing poverty.

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-

— 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 allo-
cations under the Article 19 02 01 (‘Cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum’).

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.

Remarks

The New Enhanced European Neighbourhood Policy, as projected by the Council and the European Parliament in their respec-
tive decisions and resolutions, especially in the light of the two major neighbourhood political projects, namely the Union for
the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership, makes it necessary to prepare future EU contact points, i.e. personnel for EU-ENP-
related jobs in the neighbourhood countries from Morocco to Belarus. They should be made fully acquainted in a professional
manner with the substance and spirit of EU policies and institutions and the acquis communautaire. That necessitates a focused
and sophisticated offering, which can be delivered only by a highly renowned and specialised academic institution such as the
College of Europe. Two campuses of the College of Europe — one in Bruges, Belgium, close to the EU institutions and expertise,
the other at Natolin in Warsaw, Poland, specialising in European neighbourhood and border policies (Frontex) — are best placed
to offer a tailor-made programme.

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.

19 08 02 (cont’d)

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,

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

— fostering the development of civil society inter alia to promote social inclusion.

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), as well as the promotion of democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of
law, and fostering a sustainable development and economic integration.

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 the
end of 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 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, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of coop-
eration, 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 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 DCI will be dedicated, by the end of 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, 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,

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

— 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, including through contributions

to support the regional implementation of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA),

— 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 persons with disabilities and older persons.

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 enterprises.

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.

This appropriation also covers capacity-building actions to assist agricultural producers in developing countries to meet EU sani-
tary and phytosanitary standards necessary for access to the EU market.

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).

Where assistance is delivered via budget support, the Commission shall support efforts of partner countries to develop parlia-
mentary oversight and audit capacities in line with Article 25(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parlia-
ment and of the Council. This shall include full provision of information and submission of budget support agreements to
parliamentary oversight entities and supreme audit institutions.

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. The amounts entered on
the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational pro-
gramme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These
evaluations will include aspects of input activities and the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evalu-
ations will be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation measures for middle income countries and other developing countries in
Latin America.

This appropriation is intended to finance cooperation measures which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assis-
tance (ODA) as established by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD/DAC) and which therefore fall outside the scope 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) (Article 2(4)), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the
result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Latin American countries.

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).

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium devel-
opment goals (MDGs) as well as the promotion of democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of
law, and fostering a sustainable development and economic integration. In accordance with the Commission Declaration con-
cerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a financing
instrument for development cooperation (the DCI), for countries 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.

(1) An appropriation of EUR 16 000 000 is entered in Chapter 40 02.
(2) An appropriation of EUR 12 407 600 is entered in Chapter 40 02.

COMMISSION
TITLE 19 — EXTERNAL RELATIONS

CHAPTER 19 10 — RELATIONS WITH ASIA, CENTRAL ASIA AND MIDDLE EAST (IRAQ, IRAN, YEMEN) (cont’d)

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 the end of 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 excep-
tional 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 for basic
health, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of coop-
eration, 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 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.

Cooperation with developing countries in Asia

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them,
aimed at improving human and social development as well as tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is
placed on operations influencing economic organisation and institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, includ-
ing operations concerning democratisation, education, vocational training, lifelong learning, academic and cultural exchange,
scientific and technological exchange, the environment, tropical forests, anti-drugs campaigns, regional cooperation, disaster pre-
vention and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable energy and information and communications
technology.

The Commission produces an annual report covering all its external aid activities.

Also charged to this Article is expenditure on operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or
increase awareness of European Union cooperation with Asian developing countries.

It is also intended to cover support for the development of civil society and, in particular, support for the activities of non-
governmental organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, ethnic minori-
ties and people with disabilities.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the promotion of an SME-friendly business climate through legal property rights,
cutting red tape and improved access to credit as well as improving SME associations.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on observance of the principles underpinning European Union action.

The appropriation is also intended with a view to the mutual interest of the European Union and its partners, to cover various
kinds of operation involving technical assistance, training, technology transfer and institutional back-up in the fields of trade
promotion, energy (notably renewable energy), environment, management, etc., in order to:

— improve the economic, social, cultural, legal and regulatory context and facilitate economic relations and trade between

the European Union and Asia,

— promote the increased use of information and communications technologies.

This appropriation is also intended to cover future Community initiatives to support and promote a continuous dialogue and
cooperation between the private sector and research communities in the EU and India in a wide range of fields, by strengthen-
ing and encouraging partnership and exchanges and supporting joint initiatives and by improving the information flow with
regard to market access in trade and investment, most notably in the context of a future EU-India free-trade agreement.

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.

These measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international organisations.

This appropriation is also intended to support disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-related hazards.

This appropriation is intended to also cover Community operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process.

countries.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of
health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, with due regard

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

the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational pro-
gramme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of
the European Parliament and of the Council. These evaluations will include aspects of input activities and the chain of results
(output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations will be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with
these appropriations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover Community operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process. It
is supplemented by expenditure from other Chapters and Articles, to which different procedures apply.

The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full
implementation of the post-Bonn process. It will keep the budgetary authority informed about its findings and conclusions.

This appropriation is intended to support basic social services and economic development in Afghanistan.

This appropriation is also intended to support the Afghanistan national drug control strategy, including halting the production
of opium in Afghanistan, and the disruption and destruction of the opium networks and illegal export routes to European
countries.

It is also intended to support the Community contribution to the processes for the return of Afghan refugees and displaced per-
sons to their country and regions of origin in accordance with the commitments entered into by the Community at the Tokyo
Conference in January 2002.

This appropriation will also finance activities of women’s organisations which have worked for a long time for Afghan women’s
rights.

The European Union should increase its financial assistance for areas in Afghanistan such as health (construction and renova-
tion of hospitals, prevention of child mortality) and education (construction of schools, vocational and literacy training) and
small and medium-sized infrastructure projects (repairing of road network, embankments, etc.), as well as effectively imple-
menting job security (‘cash for work’) and food security (‘food for work’) schemes.

This appropriation is also intended to support the 2009 presidential elections in Afghanistan.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and national strategies
of disaster-prone countries.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of
health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, with due regard
for the provisions of the Financial Regulation.

Particular attention will also be paid to the situation of women and girls in all other actions and projects supported by this
appropriation.

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

Remarks

This preparatory action is intended to support exchanges between European and Indian businesses and industries, as well as
research institutions. This is important in the context of improving links between EU businesses and researchers in fast-growing
economies such as India. The action is in line with paragraph 4 of the European Parliament resolution of 18 May 2006 on the
2007 budget: the Commission’s Annual Policy Strategy report (APS) (OJ C 297 E, 7.12.2006, p. 357), which noted that ‘insuf-
ficient attention has been given … to the vast and very rapid changes underway in the global economy, notably in emerging
economies such as India and China’.

This initiative supports the third year of the preparatory action for promoting scientific and business exchanges with India, in
particular the European Business and Technology Centre. In order to make the current action sustained and sustainable over the
longer term, further funding is considered important. For an initiative of this kind, which involves the establishment of a per-
manent physical centre able to provide services to private operators and research institutions, funding sustainability is crucial
for long-term viability. Furthermore, additional funding would be required with regard to expanding the centre’s geographi-
cal outreach as well as its sectoral coverage. Over the longer term, however, the project should ensure funding from external
sources and gradually become less dependent on EU funding.

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).

ers in fast-growing economies such as China. The action is in line with paragraph 4 of the European Parliament resolution of
18 May 2006 on the 2007 budget: the Commission’s Annual Policy Strategy report (APS) (OJ C 297 E, 7.12.2006, p. 357),
which noted that ‘insufficient attention has been given … to the vast and very rapid changes underway in the global economy,
notably in emerging economies such as India and China’.

It needs to be ensured that existing and tried-and-tested structures for the representation of external trade interests in China are
complemented by this measure and that duplicate structures are prevented. The objective is to improve access to information,
in particular for SMEs, and to achieve new synergies.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation measures, in middle income countries and other developing countries in
Asia, which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) as established by the Development Assistance
Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) and which therefore fall outside the
scope of Article 2(4) 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), in particular measures for coop-
eration in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution
towards combating poverty in Asian countries.

This appropriation also covers capacity-building actions to assist agricultural producers in developing countries to meet EU sani-
tary and phytosanitary standards necessary for access to the EU market.

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.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of
the European Parliament and of the Council. These evaluations will include aspects of input activities and the chain of results

statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts
entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each opera-
tional programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

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 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,

— support for the consolidation of a structured, ongoing dialogue between Chinese and European civil societies through the
organisation of workshops within forums for the discussion of relevant issues by representatives of the various social and
professional categories in China and Europe.

The Commission will continue to fund news broadcasts in Farsi to Iran, an initiative instigated by the European Parliament in
2008.

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.),

— information products (other publications, graphic material, etc.),

— organisation of events, including cultural activities,

— other activities. As of 2007, this will include the management of the network of information points currently known as

‘European Documentation Centres’.

This appropriation is also intended to finance the broadcasting of European news in Farsi.

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 on 11 March 2003 (COM(2003) 104 final), ‘Wider Europe — Neigh-
bourhood: A new framework for relations with our eastern and southern neighbours’. The actions which are part of this
activity will continue to provide information on the activities of the European Union in the framework of its ‘European
Neighbourhood 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 organisation of visits for groups of representatives of civil society.

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.

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
arrangements 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 Least
Developed Countries (LDC).

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.

Remarks

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 93 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned
and 7 % 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. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be
determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contri-
butions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council 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.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These
evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evalu-
ations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and national strat-
egies of disaster-prone countries.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when con-
cluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make
every effort to commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal
Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Community Funds.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support a rapid and direct response to the increased food prices in developing countries,
addressing the period between emergency aid and medium- to long-term development cooperation. The primary objectives of
the assistance and cooperation shall be to encourage a positive supply response of the agricultural sector in targeted countries
and regions in the context of their sustainable development and to support activities to respond rapidly and directly to mitigate
the negative effects of high food prices in line with food security objectives.

The eligible support measures include:

— measures to improve access to agricultural inputs and services, including fertilisers and seeds,

— safety net measures aiming at maintaining or improving the agricultural productive capacity, and at addressing the basic

food needs of the most vulnerable populations.

The assistance channelled through regional and international organisations shall benefit the most affected developing countries
and their populations, taking into account the specific country-level conditions.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1337/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a facility for
rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries (OJ L 354, 31.12.2008, p. 62).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support initiatives in developing countries carried out by civil society organisations originat-
ing from the Community and partner countries in the area of development as well as to strengthen their capacity in contrib-
uting to the policymaking process, so as to:

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

— increase Europeans’ awareness of development issues and mobilise active public support in the Community and acceding
countries for poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies in partner countries and for fairer relations between
developed and developing countries, and reinforce civil society’s role as a factor of progress and transformation,

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

within their organisations and with Community institutions.

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council allocating an
amount to finance activities that benefit the ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 3,9 % 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 constitutes assigned revenue
under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will
be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the con-
tributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

authorities in partner countries, with a view to facilitating their participation in defining and implementing sustainable
development strategies; and (iii) facilitate interaction between state and non-state actors in different contexts, and support
an increased role for local authorities in decentralisation processes,

— increase Europeans’ awareness of development issues and mobilise active public support in the Community and acceding

(1) An appropriation of EUR 21 689 850 is entered in Chapter 40 02.

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.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and national strat-
egies of disaster-prone countries.

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.

Support for climate change adaptation in partner countries and regions includes a contribution to further strengthen the imple-
mentation of the EU’s Action Plan on Climate Change and Development through the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA).
The GCCA is instrumental to enhance the cooperation between the European Union and developing countries on climate
change, particularly in the area of adaptation towards the impacts of climate change, which is most acute for many poor devel-
oping countries. Part of the increase in funding will be used to start action and build up confidence in the run up to ‘Copen-
hagen’, in line with the Bali action plan, to help avoid deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.

CHAPTER 21 05 — HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (cont’d)

21 05 03 (cont’d)

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,

— promote awareness-raising campaigns, education, information and communication efforts aimed at reducing risk-taking

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.

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.

Basic education

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.

Cultural cooperation

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.

Additional contribution for the UN Millennium Development Goals

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.

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.

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.

Decentralised cooperation

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.

Information and communication technologies and sustainable energy

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.

Gender equality

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 Euro-
pean 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 country 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 and secondary education and for basic
health, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of coop-
eration, 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 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.

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.

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.

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. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will
be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the con-
tributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

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,

CHAPTER 21 08 — POLICY STRATEGY AND COORDINATION FOR ‘DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH ACP STATES’ POLICY
AREA (cont’d)

21 08 02 (cont’d)

— 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.

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.

Moreover, the appropriation will cover the financing of actions within the initiative ‘Mobilising European Research on Devel-
opment Policies’. The main output of this initiative is the publication on an annual basis of a ‘European Report on Develop-
ment’ (ERD). This process will enhance synergies between European research and policymaking by bringing them together in
one common project. The ERD report, together with other intermediary products (background papers, seminars and work-
shops), will play a catalytic role in strengthening and refining the European vision on development and its influence in the inter-
national development agenda. This initiative is financed jointly by the Commission and by Member States through contributions
on voluntary basis.

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

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(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).

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 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, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at head-
quarters intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance offices; expenditure on tem-
porary 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.

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, EDIS was introduced in 2007.

The remaining 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 implementation 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 short-term technical assistance, linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme (or measures
coming under this Item, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public author-
ity 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 train-
ing, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members.

This appropriation covers expenditure on administrative management under Items 22 02 05 01, 22 02 05 04 and
Article 22 03 01.

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 persons with disabilities 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.

This appropriation may cover any eligible cooperation measures that are not expressly covered by other components of the IPA
Regulation and for cooperation between the components.

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 persons with disabilities and older persons,

— reconciliation, confidence-building measures and reconstruction.

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

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, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at head-
quarters limited to EUR 3 000 000 on an annual basis corresponding to an estimated 28 man/years. This estimate 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.

Part of this appropriation is also intended to support the work of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) in Cyprus in accor-
dance with the relevant European Parliament resolution on missing persons in Cyprus, which was adopted on 18 June 2008
(P6_TA(2008)0292), in which Parliament supported the allocation of further financial support to the CMP as from 2009
onwards and EUR 2 000 000 specifically for 2009. This would follow on from the actions already undertaken by the Com-
mission to grant EUR 1 500 000 to the CMP, covering the period until the end of 2008, in line with the European Parliament
resolution on missing persons in Cyprus adopted on 15 March 2007 (OJ C 301 E, 13.12.2007, p. 243).

As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is useful to note that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and
return of remains of missing persons has been running since August 2006 and, to date, 398 sets of remains have been exhumed,
266 of which have been analysed at the CMP anthropological laboratory in an attempt to make presumptive identifications.
The first positive identifications were made at the end of June 2007 and, to date, 91 remains of individuals exhumed under the
CMP project have been identified through this process. Continued work and further results are necessary, and this can only be
achieved if CMP capacity is increased and, to that end, the EU’s financial assistance is essential.

Remarks

The appropriation will be used for supporting non-profit organisations (such as civil society organisations at a local and inter-
national level and public institutions) in conducting sustainable preservation, restoration and development of sites concerning
valuable cultural objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) in candidate and potential candidate
countries.

Whenever possible, particular attention should be given to projects that support confidence-building processes by involving dif-
ferent ethnic and religious groups in joint projects, as well as competence building and awareness creation on a local and national
level.

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

The European Parliament resolution of 29 March 2007 on the future of Kosovo and the role of the EU (OJ C 27 E, 31.1.2008,
p. 207) stated that a Kosovo settlement should cover ‘protection of all cultural and religious sites’.

A huge number of damaged buildings in the Balkans stand as physical reminders of earlier conflicts, creating mistrust. Different
ethnic groups and local authorities are today engaged by NGOs in joint restoration projects, thereby promoting respect for the
cultural values of others, but no EU funding is available. The Instrument for Preaccession (IPA) broadly covers ‘reconstruction’
and ‘cooperation between communities’ but does not make specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

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 Union on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Imple-
mentation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of
Accession (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),

— nuclear safety (strengthening the effectiveness and competence of nuclear safety authorities and their technical support

organisations as well as public radioactive waste management agencies),

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. The aim of the information and communication strategy is to promote support for accession and to raise public aware-
ness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where public opinion is more
sensitive to future enlargement.

The appropriations will finance information and communication actions on priority EU policies such as: an effective dialogue
on enlargement and pre-accession between the European citizens and the Union’s institutions, taking into account each coun-
try’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the Union and that of candidate and potential
candidate countries; informing journalists and other multipliers on the enlargement process; commissioning of studies and opin-
ion polls; developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising of public events
as well as conferences and seminars; and evaluating the information programme.

The bulk of this appropriation will be allocated to cover information and communication activities in a deconcentrated manner
to delegations in candidate and potential candidate countries.

Information and communication actions will be directed at the general public, relevant specific audiences, especially youth,
media and civil society organisations, and will seek to enhance support among opinion leaders for enlargement as well as the
association and stabilisation process. The aim is also to strengthen the Union’s profile and political leverage in those countries
and generate public support for the reform process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

HUMANITARIAN AID

Overall objectives

In the Treaty on European Union, as amended by the Treaty of Lisbon, setting out the EU’s general objectives in the framework of external rela-
tions, humanitarian aid aims at assisting populations, countries and regions confronting natural or man-made disasters.

At DG Humanitarian Aid level, this objective is translated in the following strategic objectives, defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96
which regulates humanitarian assistance:

— save and preserve life during emergencies and their immediate aftermath and natural disasters that have entailed major loss of life, physical,

psychological or social suffering or material damage,

— provide the necessary assistance and relief to people affected by longer-lasting crises arising, in particular, from outbreaks of fighting or wars,

— help finance the transport of aid and efforts to ensure that it is accessible to those for whom it is intended, by all logistical means available,

and by protecting humanitarian goods and personnel,

— carry out short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work especially on infrastructure and equipment,

— cope with the consequences of population movements (refugees, displaced people and returnees) caused by natural and man-made disasters

and to carry out repatriation schemes,

— ensure readiness for risks of natural disasters or comparable exceptional circumstances and to develop suitable early-warning and interven-

tion systems,

— support civil operations to protect the victims of fighting or comparable emergencies.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover support expenditure directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the humani-
tarian aid policy. This covers, inter alia:

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

under ad hoc service contracts,

— fees and reimbursable expenses incurred through service contracts to undertake audits and evaluations of DG Humanitar-

ian Aid partners and actions,

the administration of individual experts and to manage programmes in third countries. The amount, based on an esti-
mated annual cost per person/year, is meant to cover the remuneration of the staff in question plus training, meetings, mis-
sions, IT expenditure and telecommunications expenditure related to their tasks,

— expenditure on the development and operation of information systems, accessible via the Europa website or via a secured

experts in the field.

This appropriation covers administrative expenditure under Articles 23 02 01, 23 02 02 and 23 02 03.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of humanitarian assistance to help people in countries outside the Euro-
pean Union who are the victims of conflicts or disasters, both natural and man-made (wars, outbreaks of fighting, etc.), or com-
parable emergencies, for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs that such situations give rise to.

The aid is granted to victims without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, age, nation-
ality or political affiliation.

Also charged to this Article are the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of such
operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruc-
tion work, notably of infrastructure and facilities, the costs associated with external, expatriate or local staff, storage, interna-
tional or national shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access
to the recipients of the aid.

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations.

It covers, inter alia:

— feasibility studies on humanitarian operations, evaluations of humanitarian aid projects and plans, and visibility operations

and information campaigns linked to humanitarian operations,

— the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, promotion and development of initiatives intended to increase coor-

dination and cooperation so as to make aid more effective and improve the monitoring of projects and plans,

— the supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the aid concerned,

— measures to strengthen Community coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international organisa-
tions and institutions (in particular those forming part of the United Nations), non-governmental organisations and organi-
sations representing the latter,

— the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian projects, in particular expen-
diture incurred covering the cost of contracts of individual experts in the field and the infrastructure and logistics costs,
covered by imprest accounts and expenditure authorisations, of DG Humanitarian Aid units deployed throughout the
world,

— the financing of technical assistance contracts to facilitate the exchange of technical know-how and expertise between Euro-

pean humanitarian organisations and agencies or between such bodies and those of non-member countries,

— studies and training linked to the achievement of the objectives of the policy area,

— action grants and running cost grants in favour of humanitarian networks,

— humanitarian mine-clearance operations including public awareness campaigns for local communities on anti-personnel

mines,

— expenditure incurred by the network on humanitarian assistance (NOHA), pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC)
No 1257/96. This is a one-year multidisciplinary postgraduate diploma in the humanitarian field designed to promote
greater professionalism amongst humanitarian workers and involving several participating universities.

Appropriations under this Article will also be used for humanitarian assistance to Georgia following the conflict with Russia.
The actions should primarily aim to cover the financing of humanitarian assistance operations to the victims as well as for the
purchase of equipment or products required in the short-term reconstruction work. The total financial envelope of the aid is
due to be decided in an international donors’ conference.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when con-
cluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make
all efforts that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Inter-
nal Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Community Funds.

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 to which such
situations give rise.

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 within 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:

providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

— supervision and coordination of food aid operations, notably the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of the

products involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

— pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport, packaging or storage, studies of food aid operations, visibility opera-

tions linked to the humanitarian operations, and information campaigns to increase public awareness,

— storage of food (including administrative costs, future operations, with or without options, training of technicians, pur-

chase of packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and repairing stores, etc.),

— the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian food aid projects, in particular
expenditure incurred covering the cost of contracts of individual experts in the field and the infrastructure and logistics
costs, covered by imprest accounts and expenditure authorisations, of DG Humanitarian Aid units deployed throughout
the world.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when con-

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 the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating 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 admin-
istrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial

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).

Remarks

On 21 April 2004, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision 2004/387/EC laying down a programme on
interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDABC). This
programme, which is aimed at promoting the establishment of pan-European eGovernment services and the telecommunica-
tions networks on which they are based, 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.

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 citizens with disabilities.

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 the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate coun-
tries for participating in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations pursuant to 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.

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. This amount is exceptionally increased to
EUR 479 218 000 for the year 2008 in current prices.

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 Member States plus
that of the EFTA country concerned.

For 2009 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,40 % (on the basis of 2007 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 2009 is estimated at about EUR 203,6 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.

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).

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 2007, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 17 051 000 000; of that total EUR 4 748 000 000
was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 12 303 000 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate appli-
cable at 31 December 2007).

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).

Council Regulation (EC) No 1360/2008 of 2 December 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (OJ L 352, 31.12.2008, p. 11).

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.

On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 25 000 000 000.

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 2007 the outstanding amount under this instrument was zero.

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 to 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), 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
(BULGARIA 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

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), 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.

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.

VII. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR EURATOM BORROWINGS TO IMPROVE THE DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY AND
SAFETY OF NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND THE
COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 94/179/Euratom of 21 March 1994 amending Decision 77/270/Euratom to authorise the Commission to contract Euratom
borrowings in order to contribute to the financing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in cer-
tain non-member countries (OJ L 84, 29.3.1994, p. 41).

2. Description

Pursuant to Decision 94/179/Euratom, the European Union extends the scope of Euratom borrowings to the improvement of the degree of
efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The maximum amount of Euratom borrowings for the Member States and non-member countries remains fixed at EUR 4 000 000 000.

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

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), 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.

2. General budget guarantee

Pursuant to the terms of the abovementioned Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans to be granted by the
European Investment Bank as part of the European Union’s financial commitments towards the Mediterranean Basin countries.

This decision was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed by the European Economic Community and the European Investment Bank on
30 October 1978 in Brussels and 10 November 1978 in Luxembourg introducing a global guarantee of 75 % of all appropriations made avail-
able for loans in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt,

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).

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community
guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jor-
dan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of
the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to
EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of three years
beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible six-month extension).

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

The Council decided on 29 November 1999 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for
projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the
appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600 000 000
and covered a period of three years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible six-month extension).

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This per-
centage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 22 December 1999, on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided once again to 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 Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee
is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of seven years from
1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. 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 Decision
2006/1016/EC 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 %.

It should be noted that, following an action undertaken by the Parliament, on 6 November 2008 the Court of Justice of the European Com-
munities annulled Decision 2006/1016/EC since it was not adopted under the correct legal basis (Case C-155/07, Parliament v Council). The
Court of Justice, while annulling that Decision, ordered ‘that its effects be maintained for EIB financing arrangements entered into before the
entry into force, within a period of 12 months from the date of delivery of this judgment, of a new decision adopted on the appropriate legal
basis, namely Articles 179EC and 181a EC together’. The Commission has already presented a proposal to the European Parliament and to the
Council to this effect (COM(2008) 910 final).

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), 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.

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.

aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all
countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. 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.

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.

Decision 2005/47/EC was the basis for a restated and amended contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European
Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 30 August 2005 and in Luxembourg on 2 September 2005 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of
the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

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 Latin America countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Gua-
temala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and in the following Asia countries: Afghanistan*,
Bangladesh, Bhutan*, Brunei, Cambodia*, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq*, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the
Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan*, Thailand, Vietnam, Yemen and Central Asia countries: Kazakhstan*, Kyrgyzstan*, Turkmenistan*,
Uzbekistan* (*: eligibility to be decided by the Council). The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Deci-
sion 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 Decem-
ber 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), 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.

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

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 2008.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2008’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total
of all amounts received up to 31 December 2008 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2008’: 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 2008, including repayments in
respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.
