Remarks


Former article 10 04 04

This appropriation is intended to cover part of expenses of any kind incurred during the implementation of these programmes and not covered by the payment appropriations available for previous financial years.
In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.
The main objectives of the programme are as follows:






—


to ensure over 250 days’ operation of the HFR per annum in order to guarantee the availability of neutrons for experimental purposes,










—


to ensure the rational use of this reactor according to the needs of research institutes requesting the assistance of the HFR in areas such as:






—


improving the safety of existing nuclear reactors,










—


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










—


fusion,










—


basic research and training,










—


waste management, and in particular the possibility of developing nuclear fuels for the elimination of weapons-grade plutonium.








In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, this Article will, in the course of the financial year, be provided with additional appropriations within the limits of the revenue from Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks


New item

The main objectives of the programme are primarily:






—


to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the high flux reactor (HFR), in order to guarantee the availability of the neutron flux for experimental purposes,










—


to allow an efficient use of HFR by research institutes in a broad range of disciplines: improvement of safety of existing nuclear reactors, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer the questions of medical research, nuclear fusion, fundamental research and training, and waste management including the possibility to study the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for the new generation of reactor systems.




In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, this item will, in the course of the financial year, be provided with additional appropriations within the limits of the revenue from, notably, the three Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands, Belgium and France) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks

The Community's financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supplement 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.

Legal basis

Council Decision 2009/470/EC of 25 May 2009 on expenditure in the veterinary field (OJ L 155, 18.6.2009, p. 30).
TITLE 18
AREA OF FREEDOM, SECURITY AND JUSTICE


Overall objectives








—


Establish an area of free movement in which persons can cross internal borders without being submitted to border checks, external borders are controlled and illegal immigration is prevented.










—


Establish an open and secure European Union, which, as part of a comprehensive policy:






—


promotes legal immigration to increase its competitiveness and to address demographic ageing,










—


limits illegal immigration,










—


strengthens dialogue and cooperation with third countries, and applies common European asylum rules.














—


Ensure a high level of protection and promotion of the rights of citizens and of fundamental rights across the EU, including the rights of the child, contribute to upholding them in all areas of EU activity, and establish a high level of protection of personal data.










—


Prevent and combat terrorism and crime, leading to a high level of safety for citizens.










—


Establish an area of justice in which citizens have good access to justice and civil and criminal proceedings are conducted efficiently irrespective of differences between national legal systems.










—


Enhance the EU's capacity to prevent and limit the demand and the supply of drugs, reduce the social harm and health damage caused by the use of and trade in illicit drugs, and strengthen international cooperation.










—


Promote the values underpinning the area of freedom, security and justice in relations with third countries to contribute to the successful building of the internal area of freedom, security and justice and advance the European Union's external relations objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support the following areas:






—


to promote and develop coordination, cooperation and mutual understanding among law enforcement agencies, and other institutions (in particular organisations active in preventing violence and crime), other national authorities and related Union bodies,










—


to stimulate, promote and develop horizontal methods and tools necessary for strategically preventing and fighting crime, such as prevention of urban violence, in particular urban violence affecting minors, or measures to prevent and combat juvenile delinquency through exchanges of best practice, networking of the authorities responsible and the implementation of pilot projects, public-private partnerships, best practices in crime prevention, comparable statistics and applied criminology, and










—


to promote and develop best practices for the protection of crime victims and witnesses.




In particular, this appropriation is intended to cover the following actions:






—


actions on operational cooperation and coordination (strengthening networking, mutual confidence and understanding, exchange and dissemination of information, experience and best practices),










—


analytical, monitoring and evaluation activities,










—


development and transfer of technology and methodology,










—


training, exchange of staff and experts, and

Part of the appropriation will cover the costs of creating an EU telephone hotline for the victims of human trafficking, with a view to establishing a single common telephone number across EU Member States, to provide equal standards of social, psychological and legal assistance to the victims of human trafficking and if possible to respond to a request for shelter. This project will involve a variety of stakeholders: national regulatory authorities to provide telephone lines, telecommunication companies, specialised NGOs, local and professional staff, enforcement authorities (to exchange information on the smugglers and actors involved in human trafficking).
