   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 28.7.2017  COM(2017) 385 final 2017/0163 (COD)   Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 establishing the Creative Europe programme (2014 to 2020)   
 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1.  CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) was founded in 1976 following a Resolution 
of the European Parliament1 and has been performing in the name of the European Union for 
the last 40 years. Its Honorary President is the President of the European Parliament and its 
honorary patrons are the Heads of State or Government of the Member States, headed by the 
President of the European Commission.  

The EUYO is composed of young musicians from all Member States of the Union, who are 
selected according to demanding quality criteria. It unites very talented young musicians from 
Europe in a world-class European orchestra that transcends cultural boundaries. 

Since its inception, the EUYO has played a unique role in promoting intercultural dialogue, 
mutual  respect  and  understanding  through  culture.  It  has  performed  in  major  cities  and 
festivals in Europe and around the world, in a variety of formal and informal settings using 
traditional and innovative formats and techniques for diverse audiences. Through its activities, 
it has acted as a cultural ambassador for the Union by showcasing the richness and diversity 
of European cultures and emerging talents.  

As a group of outstanding young musicians working together to achieve a very high level of 
orchestral performance, the EUYO is a unique orchestra on the European scene, showcasing 
European music and talent to diverse audiences within the EU and beyond. 

At  a  time  when  the  EU  is  facing  multiple  challenges  and  a  need  to  connect  more  with  its 
citizens,  the  EUYO  has  an  even  more  important  role  to  play  in  conveying  Europe’s  core 
values,  building  bridges  among  people  through  classical  music  and  reaching  out  to  the 
younger  generation  in  Europe  by  bringing  together  young  classical  musicians  of  diverse 
backgrounds through concerts and mentoring schemes. 

EU  funding  is  essential  to  the  EUYO’s  survival  as  a  body  promoting  European  values, 
diversity  and  young  talent.  Without  such  support,  it  could  not  engage  in  these  empowering 
activities  and  young  musicians  would  be  deprived  of  a  unique  opportunity  to  perform 
internationally,  build  their  careers  and  develop  their  talent  further  under  the  guidance  of 
renowned  conductors.  Its  3 000  alumni,  who  all  came  through  a  rigorous  annual  audition 
process  conducted  in  all  Member  States,  have  gone  on  to  form  a  network  of  notable 
conductors, soloists, teachers and instrumentalists working with major orchestras around the 
world.  

The  Creative  Europe  programme  and  its  predecessor  funding  schemes  have  supported  the 
EUYO  in  various  ways.  In  2016,  the  EUYO  received  an  operating  grant  under  Regulation 
(EU, Euratom) No 966/20122 as a body that pursues an aim of general EU interest or has an 
objective forming part of and supporting EU culture policy. In 2017, it will be financed in the 
same way.

In order to make sustainable provision for the EUYO’s continued activity and in the light of 
its  specific  status,  strategic  objectives  and  activities,  the  Commission  proposes  that  it  be 
recognised  as  a  ‘body  identified  by  a  basic  act’  within  the  meaning  of  Article 190(1)(d)  of 
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/20123 and that Article 13(1) of Regulation 
(EU) No 1295/20134 be amended accordingly. 

2.    LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY 

• 

Legal basis 

This  proposal  amends  Regulation  (EU)  No 1295/2013  in  respect  of  the  Creative  Europe 
culture  sub-programme  and  is  therefore  based  on  the  first  indent  of  Article 167(5)  of  the 
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).  

• 

Subsidiarity 

Under Article 167 TFEU, the Union is to take action to support and supplement the action of 
the Member States. As the EUYO’s objectives and activities go beyond the sole interest and 
benefit  of  one  or  several  Member  States  and  it  was  created  following  a  Resolution  of  the 
European Parliament, there is clear complementarity in establishing it as a body identified by 
a  basic  act  within  the  meaning  of  Article 190(1)(d)  of  Commission  Delegated  Regulation 
(EU) No 1268/2012.  Its activities generate significant European added value.  

• 

Proportionality 

The proposed amendment is limited to what is strictly necessary to address the issue and does 
not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives. It is limited to changes to include a 
reference to the EUYO in Article 13(1) of Regulation No 1295/2013. 

3.  RESULTS  OF  EX  POST  ASSESSMENT,  STAKEHOLDER  CONSULTATIONS 

AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS  

In  spring  2016,  in  the  context  of  a  public  campaign  (SaveEUYO)  in  support  of  the  EUYO, 
which was facing financial problems threatening its very existence, a number of culture and 
music stakeholders publicly expressed support for it in press statements and contacts with the 
Commission. Member States (in particular at the Culture Ministers Council in May 2016) and 
Members  of  the  European  Parliament  have  supported  the  idea  of  finding  a  solution  for  its 
funding. 

In  the  light  of  the  limited  scope  of  the  proposed  amendment,  which  has  no  significant 
economic,  environmental  and  social  impacts  per  se,  no  impact  assessment  or  further 
consultations are needed.  

4.  BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

The  funding  for  the  EUYO  will  come  from  the  existing  financial  envelope  of  the  Creative 
Europe  programme  and  will  not  require  additional  resources  from  the  EU  budget.  The

5.  OTHER ELEMENTS 

In its proposal, the Commission proposes:  

 

 

to  create  a  legally  sound  and  transparent  solution  to  ensure  sustainable  support  for 
the  EUYO,  taking  account  of  its  specific  features,  by  recognising  it  as  a  ‘body 
identified  by  a  basic  act’  within  the  meaning  of  Article 190(1)  (d)  of  Commission 
Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012;  

and  to  add  a  new  point  (f)  in  Article  13(1)  of  Regulation  (EU)  No  1295/2013 
accordingly.

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 

amending Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 establishing the Creative Europe programme

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the 
first indent of Article 167(5) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee5,

Regulation  (EU)  No  1295/2013  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council7 
established  the  Creative  Europe  programme  (2014  to  2020)  for  support  for  the 
European cultural and creative sectors.  

The  European  Union  Youth  Orchestra  (EUYO)  is  composed  of  young  musicians 
selected  according  to  demanding  quality  criteria  through  a  rigorous  annual  audition 
process in all Member States. 

The  EUYO  unites  very  talented  young  musicians  from  Europe  in  a  world-class 
European  orchestra  that  transcends  cultural  boundaries.  Since  its  creation,  it  has 
played  a  unique  role  in  promoting  intercultural  dialogue,  mutual  respect  and 
understanding through culture. It has thus acted as a cultural ambassador for the Union 
in showcasing the richness and diversity of European cultures, and emerging talents. It 
has  also  contributed to  the circulation of European works and the  mobility of young 
European  talent  beyond  national  and  European  borders,  providing  young  musicians 
from the Member States with the opportunity to build their careers and develop their 
skills further under the guidance of renowned conductors.  

The  EUYO’s  activities  are  in  line  with  the  objectives  of  the  Creative  Europe 
programme and the specific objectives of the culture sub-programme.  
The EUYO was founded following a Resolution of the European Parliament in 19768 
and  is  thus  unique  among  orchestras  in  Europe.  Due  to  its  specific  status,  strategic

within the meaning of  Article 190 (1)(d) of  Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 
No 1268/20129. Therefore, grants may be awarded without a call for proposals.

The EUYO should therefore be included among the measures benefitting from support 
from the Culture Sub-programme. 

(7) 

Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted. 

A legally sound and transparent solution to ensure sustainable support for the EUYO, 
taking  account  of  its  specific  features,  by  recognising  it  as  a  ‘body  identified  by  a 
basic  act’  within  the  meaning  of  Article  190(d)  of  Regulation  (EU)  No 1268/2012 
and amending Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 accordingly. 

1.4.4. 

Indicators of results and impact  

Specify the indicators for monitoring implementation of the proposal/initiative. 

As this amendment is an extension of the existing Creative Europe programme, it is 
covered  by  the  considerations  in  point  1.4.4.  of  the  financial  statement  for  the 
programme (COM(2011) 785 final). 

1.5. 

Grounds for the proposal/initiative  

1.5.1.  Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term  

Ensuring sustainable support for the EUYO.  

1.5.2.  Added value of EU involvement 

-   young  musicians  from  all  Member  States  of  the  Union,  selected  according  to 
demanding  quality  criteria,  working  together  in  a  world-class  European 
orchestra that transcends cultural boundaries; 

-   promoting  intercultural  dialogue,  mutual  respect  and  understanding  through 

culture; and 

-  

showcasing the richness and diversity of European cultures and emerging talents 
to diverse audiences in the EU and beyond. 

1.5.3.  Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past 

The  EUYO  has  been  supported  by  Creative  Europe  and  its  predecessor  funding 
schemes in various ways. Its excellence is widely recognised. However, the absence 
of  sustainable  support  has  been  an  obstacle  to  the  further  development  of  its 
activities. Without such support at EU level, it would not be in a position to continue 
its  activities.  The  Union  would  lose  an  important  cultural  ambassador  and  young 
musicians  would  be  deprived  of  a  unique  opportunity  to  perform  internationally, 
build  their  careers  and  develop  their  talent  further  under  the  guidance  of  renowned 
conductors. 

1.5.4.  Compatibility and possible synergy with other appropriate instruments 

There is no overlap with activities funded by other Union programmes.

Cost structure 

Based on previous experience with the financing of the EUYO at EU level, notably still in the framework of the Creative Europe programme, an 
appropriate operating grant for this organisation would amount to EUR 600 000.
