Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline 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 this reserve is fixed at EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices.
This reserve is entered in the general budget of the European Union as a provision. The corresponding commitment appropriations will be entered in the budget, if necessary, over and above the ceilings.
When the Commission considers that this reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary authority a proposal for a transfer from this 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 this reserve and on the amount required.
