Remarks

This article is intended to record appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund in the event of major disasters in the Member States. Assistance should be provided mainly in connection with natural disasters, but may also be provided, where warranted by the urgency of the situation, to the Member States concerned, with a deadline being laid down for use of the financial assistance awarded and provision being made for beneficiary states to substantiate the use made of the assistance they receive. Assistance received which is subsequently offset by third-party payments, under the ‘polluter pays’ principle, for example, or received in excess of the final valuation of damage should be recovered.
Allocation of the appropriations will be decided on in an amending budget with the sole purpose of mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 2012/2002 of 11 November 2002 establishing the European Union Solidarity Fund (OJ L 311, 14.11.2002, p. 3).

Reference acts

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council, submitted by the Commission on 6 April 2005, establishing the European Union Solidarity Fund (COM(2005) 108 final).
Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (OJ C 139, 14.6.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of gas and electricity infrastructure projects having the highest Union added value.
It should serve to adapt and develop energy networks of particular importance to the Union in support of the operation of the internal energy market and, in particular, to increase interconnection capacity, security and diversification of supply and to overcome environmental, technical and financial obstacles. Special Union support is necessary to develop energy networks more intensively and to accelerate their construction, notably where the diversity of routes and sources of supply is low.
This appropriation should also serve to promote connection and integration of renewable energy resources and to strengthen economic and social cohesion with less-favoured and island regions of the Union.
It is intended to cover the financing of the second step of the economic recovery plan as agreed between the two arms of the budgetary authority on 2 April 2009. Its financing is conditional on an agreement by the budgetary authority and should be made available as provided for in points 21, 22 and 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (OJ C 139, 14.6.2006, p. 1), without prejudice to the financial envelopes of the codecision programmes and the European Parliament's priorities.
If the Commission's annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of the economic recovery plan identifies serious risks for implementing the priority projects, the Commission shall recommend measures to offset those risks, and shall where appropriate and consistent with the economic recovery plan, make additional proposals for the projects already referred to in Regulation (EC) No 663/2009.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 663/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a programme to aid economic recovery by granting Community financial assistance to projects in the field of energy (OJ L 200, 31.7.2009, p. 31).
