EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

As part of the reform of external action financial instruments for 2007-2013, replacing 
more  than  30  different  legal  instruments  with  seven  new  ones,  Regulation  (EC)  No 
1905/2006 of 18 December 2006 established the Development Cooperation Instrument 
(hereinafter  DCI)  for  geographical  cooperation  with  countries  in  Asia,  Central  Asia, 
and Latin America, plus Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and South Africa. 

The  primary  and  overarching  objective  of  the  DCI  is  the  eradication  of  poverty 
through the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals. The Regulation therefore 
provides  that  measures  for  geographic  programmes  should  fulfil  the  criteria  for 
Official  Development  Assistance  (ODA)  set  by  the  Development  Assistance 
Committee  of  the  Organisation  for  Economic  Cooperation  and  Development 
(DAC/OECD).  

This limited scope is not conducive to engaging with important bilateral partners and 
players in multilateral fora and in global governance with whom the Community has a 
strategic  interest  in  promoting  diversified  links.  It  is  in  the  Community’s  interest  to 
further  deepen  its  relation  with  countries  which  are  both  developing  and  major 
partners in the world economy, such as India, China, Brazil and Mexico. Community 
interests  go  also  beyond  poverty  eradication  in  regions  like  Central  Asia  and  the 
Middle  East  (Iraq,  Iran,  and  Yemen),  in  particular  as  regards  energy  security  and 
public diplomacy. Finally, most of Asia and Latin America, as well as South Africa, is 
also  made  up  of  middle-income  countries  interested  in  engaging  in  economic, 
commercial, academic, business and scientific exchanges with the European Union.  

For that reason, the Commission is proposing to follow up the Preparatory Actions set 
up  through  the  2007  and  2008  budget  procedures,  with  legislative  proposals  to 
introduce stable financing for such cooperation and for measures that do not meet the 
criteria for Official Development Assistance.  

Since the objective is similar to that pursued under Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006, it 
is proposed to extend the geographical scope of the latter to countries covered by the 
DCI  Regulation,  and  to  add  a  reference  amount  for  such  cooperation  of  EUR  176 
million for the 2010-2013 period.  

The  review  of  the  implementation  of  external  action  financial  instruments  has 
identified inconsistencies in the provisions that exclude costs relating to taxes, duties 
or other charges as ineligible. For the sake of consistency, it is proposed to bring these 
provisions into line with the other instruments. 

(7) 

The  proposal  is  accompanied  by  an  Impact  Assessment  to  ensure  compatibility 
between the relevant Community policies.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

amending Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 establishing a financing instrument for 
cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 
181a thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

Since  2007  the  Community  has  streamlined  its  geographical  cooperation  with 
developing  countries  in  Asia,  Central  Asia,  and  Latin  America  and  with  Iraq,  Iran, 
Yemen,  and  South  Africa  under  Regulation  (EC)  No  1905/2006  of  the  European 
Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  18  December  2006  establishing  a  financing 
instrument for development cooperation (DCI).1  

The  primary  and  overarching  objective  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  1905/2006  is  the 
eradication of poverty through the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals. The 
scope  of  cooperation  for  the  geographic  programmes  with  developing  countries, 
territories  and  regions  established  under  the  Regulation  is  furthermore  limited 
materially  to  financing  measures  designed  to  fulfil  the  criteria  for  Official 
Development Assistance (ODA) set by the Development Assistance Committee of the 
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (DAC/OECD).  

It is in the Community’s interests to further  deepen its relations with the developing 
countries concerned, which are important bilateral partners and players in multilateral 
fora  and  in  global  governance  with  whom  the  Community  has  a  strategic  interest  in 
promoting  diversified  links,  in  particular  in  areas  such  as  economic,  commercial, 
academic, business and scientific exchanges. It therefore needs a financial instrument 
that  allows  the  financing  of  such  measures  which,  by  their  nature,  do  not  qualify  as 
Official Development Assistance.  

(4) 

For that purpose, four Preparatory Actions were set up in the 2007 and 2008 budget 
procedures  to  initiate  such  enhanced  cooperation  in  accordance  with  point  (b)  of 
Article  49(6)  of  Council  Regulation  (EC,  Euratom)  No  1605/2002  on  the  Financial

Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities;2 business 
and  scientific  exchanges  with  India;  business  and  scientific  exchanges  with  China; 
cooperation  with  middle-income  group  countries  in  Asia;  and  cooperation  with 
middle-income  group  countries  in  Latin  America.  Under  the  same  Article  of  the 
Financial Regulation, the legislative procedure further to Preparatory Actions must be 
concluded before the end of the third financial year. 

The objectives and provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 of 21 December 2006 
establishing a financing instrument for cooperation with industrialised and other high-
income countries and territories3 are appropriate to pursue such enhanced cooperation 
with  countries  falling  under  Regulation  (EC)  No  1905/2006.  For  that  purpose,  it  is 
necessary to extend the geographical scope of Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 and to 
provide for a financial envelope to cover cooperation with those developing countries.  

The  review  of  implementation  of  the  external  action  financial  instruments  has 
identified inconsistencies in the provisions that exclude costs relating to taxes, duties 
or other charges as ineligible. For the sake of consistency, it is proposed to bring those 
provisions into line with the other instruments.

Regulation (EC) No 1934/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,

4.1.1. 

Summary of commitment appropriations (CA) and payment appropriations (PA) 

Source of funding: 

1)  Additional  appropriations  are  requested  only  for  the  continuation  of  the 
preparatory  actions  (Objective  1:  Promotion  of  economic  partnership  and 
business in EU interests). This amount corresponds to €67.5 million and will be 
allocated from the margin as sets out inn the table below.  

2)  The  other  €108.5  million  will  be  fi nanced  through  re-allocation  from  the 
corresponding  DCI  geographical  envelopes.  Objectives  2  (EU  mobility 
EMEWC) and objective 3 (other non-ODA activities) will be financed entirely 
through  the  re-allocation  from  the  respective  DCI  geographic  envelopes. 
However,  the  indicative  geographic  envelopes  under  annex  IV  of  the  DCI 
Regulation are not modified. 

As  a  result,  although  the  financial  envelope  amounts  to  €176  million,  the 
budgetary impact is €67.5 million.  

In the table below, only additional appropriations allocated from the margin are 
set out.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

Details  of  the  context  of  the  proposal  are  required  in  the  Explanatory 
Memorandum.  This  section  of  the  Legislative  Financial  Statement  should 
include the following specific complementary information: 

5.1. 

Need to be met in the short or long term 

The legislative proposal is accompanied by an Impact Assessment detailing the 
needs to be met. 

This proposal is a legislative follow-up to the Preparatory Actions (PAs) which 
have been set up through the budget procedures 2007 and 2008. It aims to fill the 
legislative  gap  as  regards  the  limited  scope  of  the  Development  Cooperation 
Instrument (DCI) covering the geographical cooperation with countries in Asia, 
Central Asia, Latin America, and with Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and South Africa.  

The envelope has been assessed at €176 million.  

8 

Additional columns should be added if necessary i.e. if the duration of the action exceeds 6 years

The  four  Preparatory  Actions  over  2007-2009  have  been  financed  from  the 
margin at the initiative of the budget authority. Activities relating to the follow-
up  of  these  actions  amount  to  €67.5  million.  The  other  needs  to  be  covered 
(€108.5 million) relate to the mobility  for EU students under Erasmus Mundus 
and  activities  foreseen  under  the  DCI  envelope  but  not  eligible  because  of  its 
limited  scope  as  regards  Official  Development  Assistance  eligibility  (e.g. 
visibility programmes, technical assistance in energy-related areas).  

5.2. 

Value-added  of  Community  involvement  and  coherence  of  the  proposal 
with other financial instruments and possible synergy 

The  geographical  extension  of  the  ICI  Regulation  will  allow  further  engaging 
with  important  bilateral  partners  and  players  in  multilateral  fora  and  in  global 
governance, and with which the Community has a strategic interest in promoting 
diversified links. It is in the Community’s interests to further deepen its relation 
with  countries  which  are  both  developing  and  major  powers  in  the  world 
economy, such as India, China, Brazil, or South Africa. Community’s interests 
go also beyond poverty eradication in regions like Central Asia and Middle East, 
in  particular  as  regards  energy  security  and  public  diplomacy.  Finally,  most  of 
Asia and Latin America are also Middle-Income Countries interested to engage 
with 
the  Official 
Development Assistance.
