A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the European Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed necessary for the European Community and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all Community revenue and expenditure and that of the European Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year: borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euros and the accounts shall be presented in euros. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. All revenue and expenditure is entered in full in the budget without any adjustment against each other. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to prevent any confusion between appropriations. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on implementation of the budget and the accounts. |

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 129 149,66 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 120 346,76 million in payment appropriations, representing growth rates of 2,19 % and 5,71 % respectively by comparison with the 2007 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 120 346,76 million. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3311 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6440 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 15,58 % of the financing of the budget for 2008. The VAT resource accounts for 15,87 % and the GNI resource for 67,37 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 425,00 million.

The own resources needed to finance the 2008 budget account for 0,94 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 % of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources ([OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2000:253:TOC)).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2008 budget.

Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources (Article 2(4) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

|  |
| --- |
| Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate – frozen rate |
|  |
| A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,50 % for 2008. |
| B. Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom): |
|  |
| (1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden: |
|  |
| In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution. |
|  |
| Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany: |
|  |
| Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = (Germany's capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)) × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction |
|  |
| Example: Germany |
| Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 10 407 889 000 / (57 669 214 000 –10 530 959 000 ) × 1/4 × 5 757 931 681 = 317 830 570 |
|  |
| (2) calculation of the frozen rate: |
|  |
| Frozen rate = (UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)) / (EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL + A + S)) |
| Frozen rate = (5 757 931 681 – (317 830 570 +85 611 179 +37 261 421 +45 504 460 )) / (57 669 214 000 – (10 530 959 000 +10 407 889 000 +2 803 480 000 +1 220 187 000 +1 490 119 000 )) |
| Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 % |
| Uniform rate |
| 0,5 % –0,168875772152444  % = 0,331124227847556 % |

Under the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector, sugar producers pay basic and B production levies to cover market support expenditure.

However, the application of a ceiling to the levies as provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 may lead to their not fully covering the estimated total loss due to the existence of an exportable surplus calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of the said Article. The complementary levy referred to in Article 1 1 6 of this chapter will then have to be paid by sugar producers in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Figures are net of collection costs.

This article is intended for recording the income charged by new Member States in the event of non-elimination of sugar stocks considered surplus within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EC) No 60/2004 of 14 January 2004 laying down transitional measures in the sugar sector by reason of the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia ([OJ L 9, 15.1.2004, p. 8](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:009:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 115/2007 ([OJ L 35, 8.2.2007, p. 5](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:035:TOC)).

It is also intended to record revenue from the outstanding sugar storage levies as Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector ([OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2001:178:TOC)), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 ([OJ L 58, 28.2.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:058:TOC)), abolished the storage levy.

This article also covers the outstanding amounts due pursuant to Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 65/82 of 13 January 1982 laying down detailed rules for carrying forward sugar to the following marketing year ([OJ L 9, 14.1.1982, p. 14](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1982:009:TOC)), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 967/2006 ([OJ L 176, 30.6.2006, p. 22](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:176:TOC)), when the obligation to store sugar carried forward is not complied with and the amounts due according to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1789/81 of 30 June 1981 laying down general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector ([OJ L 177, 1.7.1981, p. 39](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1981:177:TOC)), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 ([OJ L 178, 30.6.2001, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2001:178:TOC)), when the general rules concerning the system of minimum stocks in the sugar sector are not complied with.

The common organisation of the markets in sugar provides that isoglucose-production undertakings pay basic and B production levies intended to cover market support expenditure.

However, the application of a ceiling to the levies as provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 may lead to their not fully covering the estimated total loss due to the existence of an exportable surplus calculated in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of the said Article. The complementary levy referred to in Article 1 1 6 of this chapter will then have to be paid by isoglucose producers in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.

Continuation of the existing production quota arrangements for sugar requires that similar arrangements be applied to the production of inulin syrup, a direct substitute for isoglucose and liquid sugar, to prevent this product from disturbing a market which, because of the surplus, could further increase the export costs of sugar and isoglucose producers alone.

The common organisation of the market in sugar provides that inulin syrup producers pay basic and B production levies and where necessary the additional levy covering market support expenditure.

They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget.

CHAPTER 6 1 —   REPAYMENT OF MISCELLANEOUS EXPENDITURE

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel ([OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2003:029:TOC)) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty expires.

Pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by a coal and steel research fund.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n+2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2006 will be used for research in 2008. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2008 comes to EUR 53 438 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with Articles 18 and 160(1a) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Pursuant to Article 4(5) of that Decision, the amounts recovered return initially to the assets of the ECSC in liquidation and subsequently, on completion of the liquidation, to the assets of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

Sums which are lost in the financing of the common agricultural policy as a result of irregularities or negligence and then recovered are paid to the paying departments or agencies and deducted by them from the expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to enable studies to be contracted out to qualified experts in the fields of audit and also in those of an administrative nature.

As part of its audit work, the Court of Auditors has to call on outside experts for technical studies and analyses (chemical, physical and statistical). The need for appropriations to cover the cost of studies contracted out to experts is justified by the specialised and sometimes unforeseeable nature of the studies in question. Without such appropriations, the Court of Auditors could be seriously hampered in performing its duties and its independence could be jeopardised. This appropriation also includes the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by independent auditors whose report is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Remarks

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel ([OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2003:029:TOC)) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty expires.

Pursuant to Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by a coal and steel research fund.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2006 will be used for research in 2008. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2008 comes to EUR 53 438 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with Articles 18 and 160(1a) of the Financial Regulation, any revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

Pursuant to Article 4(5) of Decision 2003/76/EC, the amounts recovered return initially to the assets of the ECSC in liquidation and subsequently, on completion of the liquidation, to the assets of the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

Sums which are lost in the financing of the common agricultural policy as a result of irregularities or negligence and then recovered are paid to the paying departments or agencies and deducted by them from the expenditure financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from contributions from the EFTA States to the Community’s general costs under Articles 76 and 82 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area gives rise to the provision of supplementary appropriations to be entered in the budget headings concerned in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The amount of such revenue is estimated at EUR 1 057 000.

Any revenue from the Swiss Confederation's contribution for participation in Community programmes, entered under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR  1 190 000.

According to Eurobserver, energy-wood production in the EU Member States stood at 47,3 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2000. Most (85 %) was used for heating; some was used for electricity production (29,6 TWh). Energy wood has a 6,3 % share of EU primary energy production but accounts for no more than 2 % of total energy consumption in the EU. Energy wood is the main renewable energy source in the EU and accounts for 54 % of primary energy production from renewable sources. Added to that, only two thirds of the annual growth of the forests in the EU is utilised today.

At present, however, there is no regular supply of comprehensive, reliable statistics on the production and/or sale of wood, particularly heating wood, in Europe. The main repositories of statistics on wood resources are the government departments in charge of agricultural matters in each Member State. However, there are major disparities in calculation and data collection methods and the way in which the statistics are used. Owing to these disparities, some estimates of European wood resources are twice as high as others.

Lastly, it is extremely difficult to estimate the wood stocks held by retailers and private individuals. It is thus customary to assume that energy-wood production is equal to its consumption, which is the same thing as deeming stock variations and the import-export balance to be negligible.

The EU views energy wood and wood offcuts from tree felling, as well as third-generation renewable energy products, as a priority for future energy supply purposes, with a view to enhancing its energy independence and pursuing its sustainable development strategy. The indicative target set for 2010 is to cover 12 % of gross domestic energy production from renewable sources. This corresponds to approximately one million homes heated using wood (in private, collective or district heating systems).

A reliable statistical tool is therefore needed that will enable an accurate estimate to be made of energy wood resources as against overall wood resources, with a view to meeting the sustainable development objectives the EU has set itself.

The following studies should be financed:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an annual report on child labour in the European Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the impact of job relocation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | studies on the impact of new technologies in the workplace and on occupational illnesses, such as, for example, the impact of repetitive movements when performing a task, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the benefits of removing the barriers to trade and investment between the EU and US, taking into account the recent OECD study in this area, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the impact of the single currency on movements in prices of essential goods and bank fees and commission, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the feasibility of and obstacles to the creation of a federal police force for the European Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a feasibility study on qualified market access/qualified external protection; the European Parliament has already adopted this approach on a number of occasions. The main idea underlying it is that social and ecological standards should be applied as parameters for granting or denying access to European markets and for charging different duties and agricultural levies according to the standards established. These levies/duties will be channelled to a fund for rural development in developing countries and benefit the products for which standards need to be improved, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the compilation and updating of basic data on European populations; this study should seek to answer the following questions: What population movements are there in the Union? Who moves, why, and from where to where? Who settles on a long-term basis in a partner country? Are third-country nationals mobile within the Union, or do they remain in the first host country? How many mixed marriages and mixed births are there, and what categories of persons are most commonly affected? Are these European citizens registered on electoral rolls in the host country? Do they apply to the courts or the ombudsman if they have difficulties in asserting their rights as European citizens? What has become of traditionally nomadic peoples since new members have joined the Union? |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on food safety and quality; the study should cover, inter alia, the cost to business stemming from the introduction of labelling, the impact on the consumption of Community products both within and outside the European Union, any changes in consumer perception of Community products in terms of food safety and quality, the initiative's value for money, possible promotional measures, and whether products labelled as being of Community origin can maintain their national or regional identity, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study to identify the best strategy for combating avian influenza in the European Union, in order to reduce the risk of its propagation and transmission to humans; the study should cover inter alia the resources that the European Union can bring to bear in the event of a pandemic and proposals as to how to enhance those resources, the risk of an animal and human pandemic, detailed guidelines for measures to be taken by Member States to minimise the risk of propagation, improving coordination at Community and international levels, enhancing the financial resources to be brought to bear in the event of an outbreak of the disease either within or outside the European Union, the best means of eradicating and preventing the disease, and improving monitoring of the disease and ways to prevent a catastrophic situation from arising in the Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on desertification; the study should cover inter alia the economic and social repercussions for European regions affected by desertification, with an appraisal of the current and likely future implications, particularly for the sectors most at risk, such as farming and tourism, environmental impact, solutions and strategies for combating desertification, identification of the means of combating desertification that the EU should have at its disposal, and techniques and instruments for the recovery and use of water resources, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on new means of providing European farmers with support when a disaster occurs, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the efficiency and effectiveness of existing aviation security measures, taking into account the impact of those measures on passengers, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the condition, and estimated cost of restoring, cultural heritage in the northern part of Cyprus. This study should include, inter alia, a detailed description of each monument of significant cultural value (complemented by photographs and sketches), a record of the damage that occurred, and a list of repairs that are necessary in order to preserve the original status of the cultural monuments affected. The amount needed for the above study is estimated at EUR 500 000, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study to establish what the obstacles are to the creation of a federal police force for the European Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the emissions trading scheme (ETS). The study should present an assessment of the potential revenues that ETS might generate and the mechanism to assign them in full or in part to the EU budget. The study should indicate the breakdown of emissions in the Member States and their relation to GDP. The study should also provide some options as to how these appropriations can be allocated to policies to reduce emissions and combat poverty. The Commission should present this study by October 2008 to contribute to the debate on the review of financial mechanisms after 2013, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study into the development of a pan-European statistical tool for EU wood resources. The aim is to provide the Union with a reliable statistical tool enabling an accurate estimate to be made of energy-wood resources as against overall wood resources, with a view to meeting the sustainable development objectives the EU has set itself. The main repositories of statistics on wood resources are the government departments in charge of agricultural matters in each Member State. This situation has given rise to major disparities in calculation and data collection methods and the way in which the statistics are used, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study to benchmark the Commission's staff against staff in other international organisations on the aspects that are comparable, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study on the presentation by the Commission of guidelines to facilitate the financing of public infrastructure under public-private partnerships (PPP). |

TITLE 01

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of economic and monetary union (EMU) both inside and outside the European Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community institutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Investment Fund (EIF) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial assistance to third countries).

The Commission informs the budgetary authority twice a year on the macroeconomic situation of the beneficiary countries and reports extensively on the implementation of this assistance on a yearly basis.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on Community financial instruments implemented in the framework of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013), and to facilitate the access of SMEs to finance.

Poor access to appropriate forms of finance is frequently quoted as a main barrier to entrepreneurship and enterprise innovation. This problem may be exacerbated by new accounting standards which will make banks more sensitive to risk and lead to a rating culture. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme will address persistent recognised market gaps leading to poor access to equity, venture capital and loans for SMEs, through Community Financial Instruments operated on behalf of the Commission by the European Investment Fund (EIF), the Community's specialised institution for providing venture capital and guarantee instruments for SMEs.

Under the Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, independent evaluations identified the market-based approach and the implementation via the EIF of these instruments as a best practice. They will therefore be continued and adapted in the new programme.

The Community Financial Instruments for SMEs will ease the supply of seed and early stage capital for innovative start-ups and young companies.

The High Growth and Innovative SME Facility (GIF) will share risk and reward with private equity investors providing important leverage for the supply of equity to innovative companies. The GIF instruments will increase the supply of development equity for innovative SMEs in their early stages and in the expansion phase, leveraging ‘follow-on’ capital to help them bring their products and services to market and continue research and development activities.

The SME Guarantee Facility will continue to provide counter or co-guarantees to guarantee schemes operating in eligible countries, and direct guarantees to financial intermediaries. It will concentrate on addressing market failures: (i) in the access of SMEs with growth potential to loans (or loan substitutes such as leasing); (ii) in the provision of microcredit and (iii) in access to equity or quasi-equity. A (iv) new securitisation window will mobilise additional debt financing for SMEs under appropriate risk-sharing arrangements with the targeted institutions.

A Capacity Building Scheme will support the capacity of financial intermediaries to focus on additional investment and technology aspects. Action will also be undertaken to facilitate SME financing in countries where banking intermediation is significantly lower than the EU average.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the provision of paid-up shares of the capital subscribed by the European Community.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) was created in 1994. Its founder members are the European Community, represented by the Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a number of financial institutions. The Community membership to the EIF is determined by Decision 94/375/EC.

Article 3 of Decision 94/375/EC stipulates that the position of the Community on a possible increase in the capital of the EIF and on its participation in that increase shall be decided unanimously by the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament.

Decision 2007/247/EC was adopted in April 2007. It approves Community participation in the 50 % increase in the nominal capital of the EIF and proposes to maintain the level of the Community participation at 30 % by 2010.

The total subscribed share capital shall increase from EUR 2 000 000 000 to EUR 3 000 000 000 and, maintaining the current paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 000 000 to EUR 600 000 000. The capital increase of the EIF was endorsed within the framework of the EIB Group's contribution to growth and jobs, which was welcomed by the Council meeting (Ecofin) of 14 March 2006 and the European Council meeting of 23 and 24 March 2006.

Community participation in the capital increase will take place in four instalments starting in 2007.

Any revenue from dividends paid by the EIB during 2007 to 2013, entered in Article 8 5 0 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item, in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The Council has on several occasions (in 2000 and in March 2003) acknowledged the advantages of micro-finance for small firms. The European Council has, for the first time, asked Member States to pay particular attention to using micro-credit to foster the establishment and growth of small firms. Micro-credit was one of the focuses of the European multiannual programme (MAP/2002 to 2006) financial instruments which the Council adopted in December 2001, defining ‘micro-loan’ as a loan of less than EUR 25 000.

The Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (PIC), which has been in operation since 2006, also deals with micro-credit, including under the second facility (SME Guarantee Facility). This facility, which is administered by the European Investment Fund (EIF), seeks to encourage financial institutions to play a more important role in offering small loans, which normally carry with them proportionally high loan management costs for borrowers unable to provide adequate security. In addition to guarantees and counter-guarantees, financial intermediaries are entitled to subsidies to reduce the high administrative costs associated with micro-loans.

The aim of this preparatory action is to foster the development of micro-credit in Europe, in line with the new Lisbon Agenda growth and employment targets and the recommendations set out in the European Parliament resolution of 11 July 2007 on financial services policy (2005 to 2010) — White Paper, with particular reference to the need for a micro-credit action plan.

The purpose of the preparatory action is to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure that the micro-credit business in Europe becomes self-financing in the medium term by building up the equity of micro-finance institutions, particularly non-banking institutions. The project could be administered by the EIF, the EU financial institution which specialises in SME and micro-enterprise funding and which also administers the Community financial instruments, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | foster greater synergy between existing financial instruments covering inter-related areas (CIP, JEREMIE, ERDF, EDF), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | foster social inclusion through entrepreneurship and the economic growth it brings. Associations working with less-favoured groups may be recipients of the funding made available. |

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities ([OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 ([OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:343:TOC)).

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to foster the competitiveness of enterprises and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to promote innovation, including eco-innovation, and to support enterprise and innovation-related economic and administrative reform.

Action in relation to eco-innovation may include supporting the take-up of environmental technologies and eco-innovative activities; fostering eco-innovation networks and clusters, public-private partnerships in eco-innovation and developing innovative business services, facilitating or promoting eco-innovation; and promoting new and integrated approaches on eco-innovation in fields such as environmental management and the environment-friendly design of products, processes and services, taking into account their whole life cycle.

The Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. These will be designed to promote their broader utilisation within the participating countries and facilitate their market uptake.

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | market replication, projects and other measures to support the take-up of innovation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support to joint actions of Member States or regions, |

and other measures encompassed in the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.

For tourism projects, special attention should be paid to networking in the field of sustainable tourism, including soft mobility, protection of nature, cultural heritage education and integrating the Agenda 21 approach into tourism. The Iron Curtain Trail should be promoted as an example of soft mobility within tourism and as a symbol for reunification of Europe.

By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the opening of additional appropriations, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

New article

This appropriation is intended to cover the progressive operational implementation of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) services, starting by organising and setting up an operational service of ‘rapid mapping’ for risks linked to the security of citizens. This will allow research efforts to come to operational fruition in the specific case of a rapid mapping service in support of civil protection bodies and humanitarian aid in the emergency response phase.

The service is conceived as a support for intervention, in Europe and outside Europe, by civil protection bodies, humanitarian aid actors and other potential users. They will have access to reference and rapid assessment mapping on crisis areas within respectively six and 24  hours after the disaster or crisis occurs. Services provided by this preparatory action will be available to Commission services based on a governance structure to be developed.

This action is expected to have a unifying role with a view to gradually moving all GMES services from purely research activities towards market innovation.

Remarks

The development of energy-saving techniques and renewable energy use is an issue of major importance to the building industry. With 2,5 million firms, a turnover of more than EUR 1 200 billion and a workforce of 12 million people, 9,7 million of whom are waged employees, the building industry generates 10 % of the EU's GDP. 99 % of building firms are SMEs (with fewer than 250 employees), which generate 78 % of the industry's turnover. Increased use of eco-technologies and eco-innovations in the building trade is, however, dependent on a combination of factors, such as additional cost, product availability, consumer demand and skill levels within firms.

Another major problem hampering more widespread use of these new technologies is access to insurance by building firms, particularly the smaller firms which, in Europe, make up more than 90 % of the building industry. Owing in particular to their size and financial base, small firms find it difficult to insure construction or renovation work involving the use of new technologies (solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, etc.). In practice, this acts as a barrier to the spread of eco-technologies by small firms, which account for more than 60 % of production in Europe. The difficulties which self-employed builders and small building firms experience in obtaining insurance covering new eco-technologies is clearly acting as a barrier to more widespread use of those technologies.

The European Union therefore needs to introduce an instrument that will provide effective support for small building firms, which are of central importance to the attainment of the EU's targets for the use of renewable energy (20 % of gross internal consumption by 2020).

The aim of this project is therefore to bring to bear a Community financial instrument that will, over a limited period, make it easier for small building firms to gain access to construction insurance when using eco-technologies in building projects.

The budget heading, which could come under the operational management of the EIF, should be subject to strict conditions for the disbursement of funds for specific insurance companies in order to facilitate the provision of insurance cover to building firms using eco-technologies. The project would therefore be based on the same formula as existing Community schemes to foster the development of SMEs and innovation (risk capital/loan guarantees).

Small firms would not, of course, receive Community funding directly; instead the support would be provided through insurance cover, supplementary insurance cover or a reinsurance scheme. The scheme to facilitate access to construction insurance by small firms could be subject to various provisos, such as:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | only firms below a given size and turnover would be eligible, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | only specific types of work (involving eco-technologies) and specific contracts or projects of a limited size would be covered, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | only limited or flat-rate cover for claims would be provided. |

COMPETITION

Overall objectives

The Commission's objective in this area is to enforce the competition rules under the Community Treaties in order to ensure that competition in the European Union market is not distorted, thereby contributing to the welfare of consumers and the competitiveness of the European economy. Introducing competition into markets creates conditions that promote knowledge and innovation, in turn contributing to the EU’s competitiveness and the creation of more and better jobs. Transparency and predictability, competition enforcement, guidance and advocacy contribute to making Europe a more attractive place in which to invest and work.

The Directorate-General for Competition has defined three multi-annual general objectives that will allow it to continue making a significant contribution to achieving the Commission’s strategic objectives as defined in the Community Lisbon Programme:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to focus action on key sectors for the internal market and the Lisbon agenda, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to focus enforcement actions on the most harmful anti-competitive practices for the European economy, |

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the payments in respect of commitments relating to previous years.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Legal basis

Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a Community action programme to promote bodies active at European level and support specific activities in the field of education and training ([OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:138:TOC)).

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restrictive practices (Article 81 of the Treaty), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the Treaty), aids granted by States (Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

The Commission's decisions are subject to review by the Court of Justice in accordance with the Treaty.

As a prudential measure, it is appropriate to take into account the possibility of budgetary implications stemming from rulings of the Court of Justice or the Court of First Instance.

This appropriation is intended to cover any expenditure originated by damages awarded by the Court to claimants and resulting from legal proceedings against the Commission's decisions in the field of competition.

As a reasonable estimate of the financial impact on the EU budget cannot be established beforehand, a token entry (‘p.m.’) appears in this article. If necessary, the Commission will propose to make available the appropriations related to actual needs by means of transfers or through a preliminary draft amending budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the social partners’ participation in the European employment strategy and the implementation of the Lisbon strategy.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended, for completion of the internal market and implementation of the European employment strategy, to cover the implementation and operation of the EURES network.

This network is aimed at developing cooperation between the Commission and the Member States, and in particular their employment services, with a view to:

The EURES network has close operational links with the relevant activities in the Commission Directorates-General for Education and Culture and Justice, Freedom and Security, such as Europass and Leonardo.

Further studies will be conducted to explore the feasibility of a European approach to the certification of non-formal qualifications.

The network will ensure that the principle of freedom of movement is respected and that it operates in a transparent and non-discriminatory fashion, with particular regard to access to employment for Community nationals in a country other than that of their origin.

This appropriation covers measures that are essential to the smooth running of the EURES network, in particular the following support measures:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | subsidies for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | development of special structures for cooperation and services in border areas pursuant to Article 17(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2434/92, |

| — | participation in the creation of a single site containing information on mobility in Europe, providing access to job vacancies and information on job offers (with links to public and private employment services), jobseekers, living and working conditions, education and training, and student and teacher mobility.

Remarks

The United Nations Environment Programme contends that more than a quarter of the planet’s agricultural land has become degraded since the Second World War. Between 10 and 15 million hectares are currently lost each year.

In Europe, soil degradation and erosion is probably the most significant environmental problem caused by conventional agriculture, seriously affecting close to 157 m ha (16 % of Europe, i.e. almost three times the total area of France). The average soil erosion rate in Europe (17 tonnes per ha per year) is much higher than the average soil formation rate (1 tonne per ha per year). Most European Union countries are affected by this problem. In the Mediterranean regions, soil erosion is highly pronounced and may affect up to 50 to 70 % of agricultural land. Intensification of conventional agriculture (increased mechanisation and ploughing) over the last 50 years has contributed to this trend, increasing the risk of desertification in most vulnerable regions. Erosion has a major economic impact on the agricultural land concerned, but also on local public infrastructure because of the cost of maintaining water systems and water treatment.

There is reduced biodiversity in conventional agriculture because soil left bare for a lengthy period no longer provides food and shelter for wildlife at critical times. However, production systems which leave surface residues help to restore and maintain various types of wildlife (e.g. birds and small mammals).

Sustainable agriculture is a set of techniques designed to allow farming to take place on a lasting basis from a physical, social, economic and environmental perspective.

Simplified cultivation techniques are the core component; they are techniques aimed at better soil conservation (or conservation agriculture). Conservation agriculture refers to a set of soil management practices which minimise alteration of the composition, structure and natural biodiversity of soil, safeguarding it against erosion and degradation. These techniques combine surface working techniques, mulch sowing, direct sowing, non-incorporation of crop residues and vegetation cover in forestry (spontaneous vegetation or vegetation resulting from the sowing of appropriate species).

Over and above the purely environmental aspect, the economic aspect of conservation agriculture techniques is another major factor to be taken into account. Cultivation within conventional agriculture calls for a high level of machinery investment and maintenance, a high level of fossil energy consumption and considerable working time by comparison with conservation agriculture. For annual growing without ploughing, for instance, fuel savings over conventional systems are put at three to five litres per ha. In general, conservation agriculture reduces energy consumption by about 15 to 50 %, increasing production per energy unit by 25 to 100 %.

Rural development planning action for 2007 to 2013 affords a unique opportunity to make headway with these techniques. The pilot project could cover know-how dissemination activities, this being a fundamental component of the project. One of the basic objectives is to foster knowledge of these techniques so that future EU legislation can be easily applied.

Remarks

The aim of the proposed Convention is to offer — at the time of the mid-term reviews of EU programmes in 2008 to 2009 — recommendations on policy frameworks and measures which will foster a sustainable approach to the future of urban and rural areas in Europe, achieved through effective partnership between governments and civil society.

The Convention is designed to bring together rural and urban interests, mainly through a series of thematic seminars based in different European regions, to focus together on the means by which European and national programmes can be used so as to maximise the mutual benefit of urban and rural areas in a truly sustainable way.

It is envisaged that each seminar will focus on one or more of a series of major themes or issues within the broad context of sustainability: either general issues, which apply equally to urban and rural areas, such as demographic and climate change, energy efficiency, food security, natural resources management, biological and cultural diversity, cohesion and social inclusion, constructive dialogue between citizens and governments; or specifically urban or rural issues, such as rapid population growth or competition for land, loss of social services or narrow local economies. Particular focus will be on the interdependence of cities and rural areas and on overarching regional solutions.

The process should reach a climax at a Convention gathering, preferably in autumn 2008, with the following main outputs:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a statement of a vision for a sustainable future for urban and rural areas in Europe, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | vivid descriptive material related to ‘good practice’ examples of action contributing to a sustainable future for urban and rural areas, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an assessment of how well suited the current policy frameworks and measures appear to be for achieving that vision and promoting the widespread application of good practice, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | proposals for changes in policy frameworks and measures that appear to merit consideration at the mid-term review of EU programmes in 2008 to 2009. |

These events, and these outputs, will be aimed at decision-makers in all sectors and at European, national and regional level. The challenge will be to turn these many groups into not merely target audiences, but active participants in the Convention process. The proposed Convention will be jointly initiated by a group of partner organisations, which represent different sides of this major urban/rural issue and which share a commitment to focus on how cities and rural regions can work together to achieve a sustainable future for both sides.

Remarks

Since expenditure on staff and buildings is included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01 and XX 01 03 01, the Commission subsidy, together with the Agency's own revenue, is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Agency in its activities.

At its 23rd session on 1 and 2 February 1960, the Euratom Council proposed unanimously that the Commission postpone not only the levying of the charge (intended to cover the operating expenditure of the Euratom Supply Agency) but also the actual introduction of the said charge. Since then a subsidy has been included in the budget to balance the revenue side against the Agency expenditure figures shown in the statement of estimates.

| --- | --- |
| — | preparation of the legislation required to promote passenger rights for each mode of transport, taken individually or collectively, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | preparation and implementation of measures to ensure fair conditions of competition between operators both within the same mode and between different modes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | alignment and integration of the master plans for each mode of transport, |

Experience has shown that, despite the EU regulations and directives in force, passengers are not sufficiently informed of their rights. It is therefore necessary, as a matter of urgency, to launch information campaigns to make passengers aware of those rights.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to international road haulage, designated ‘Marco Polo II’.

The Marco Polo II programme proposes five kinds of measures to achieve its objectives:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | modal transfer actions to transfer, in the short term, a major share of road traffic to other less saturated transport modes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | catalyst actions which enable structural market barriers to be overcome through the implementation of new innovative services, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | common learning actions with a view to improving cooperation, sharing of know-how and knowledge development in the logistics industry, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | actions to provide high-quality logistic services based on short sea shipping which will be comparable to motorways and therefore called ‘motorways of the sea’, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | traffic avoidance actions involving an active role for manufacturing industry and logistics systems within one coherent strategy to develop sustainable operations. |

The transport infrastructure networks of the newest Member States are not at this stage in a position to serve the increased post-enlargement trade flows; in such cases intermodal transport solutions constitute the best response and there is thus huge scope for Marco Polo II as a continuation and strengthening of the successful Marco Polo I programme.

The support for commercial action in the market for freight transport services is different from the support given through research and development programmes and the trans-European network programme. Marco Polo II will foster modal shift projects in all segments of the freight market, not only in combined transport.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended for the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN), which is held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 154 to 156 of the Treaty establishing the European Community). This contribution takes the form of co-financing of projects of common interest identified in the Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (Decision No 1692/96/EC).

The aim is:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to help define projects of common interest, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to speed up the Member States’ implementation of trans-European transport network projects of common interest, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to overcome the financial obstacles which may hamper the start-up phase of a project, particularly by means of feasibility studies, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to encourage the participation of private capital in project funding, as well as public/private partnerships, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to ensure better financial arrangements for projects, minimising the use of public funding, thanks to flexible means of intervention. |

Part of this appropriation is intended to promote cooperation in the Baltic Sea regions and the Northern Dimension projects.

Co-financing of the deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) must be a high priority.

Special attention must be paid to cross-border rail projects that contribute to better connections between old and new Member States and the reunification of Europe.

Funds for 2007 have been placed in the reserve until a satisfactory agreement is reached with the Council and/or Commission on how to maintain political control over the allocation of funds.

To the appropriations entered in this article for the SESAR project must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

These remarks are applicable to all the budget headings in this chapter.

These appropriations will be used for the seventh framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities, which covers the period 2007 to 2013.

It will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives described in Article 163 of the Treaty, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the EU, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring optimum use thereof.

It will be organised in programmes corresponding to four major objectives of European research policy: transnational cooperation on topics defined in relation to policies (cooperation), research proposed by the research workers themselves, on the initiative of the research workers community (ideas), individual research workers’ support (people), and the support for research capacities.

2007 constituted the first year of effective implementation of this programme, the objectives of which are based on carrying out of the sixth framework programme for the creation of the European Research Area, and are its extension while taking forward the development of the economy and the knowledge society in Europe.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure for achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's RTD strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 06 06 04.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund a project which will develop and establish (1) a complementary participatory coastal communication system and (2) a cooperative coastal risk protection and management system for Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in particular the Baltic States themselves, whose 50 years under occupation excluded them from normal development processes, as a result of which there is a disparity in terms of development with older Member States. Coastal sustainability practice (including integrated applications) is to be actively re-enhanced and non-traditional innovations explored and fleshed out, tested and disseminated not only in relation to established implementation methods, i.e. not only vertically and horizontally across management levels, but also with particular attention being paid to developing new methodologies for participatory communication and cooperation, thus increasing coastal awareness and behaviour development among all stakeholders.

RESEARCH

Overall objectives

The Commission’s policy initiatives to achieve the European Research Area are devised, developed and followed up within this policy area.

European research contributes to attaining the objectives of the other Community policies and, in return, promotes the incorporation of research policy needs in these policies.

Community actions required to achieve the European Research Area are devised and implemented within this policy area, in particular the research and technological development framework programmes.

This domain contributes to implementing the Lisbon strategy for employment, international competitiveness, economic reform and social cohesion in the European Union, in particular in connection with the establishment of an area of education, training, research and innovation.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) ([OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:391:TOC)) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) ([OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:400:TOC)).

For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme will be applicable. That definition reads as follows: ‘An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) ([OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:412:TOC))), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's RTD strategy.

The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is possible in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 21 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help establish the integrated scientific and technological bases needed to develop a European ‘Knowledge-based bioeconomy’ by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders. Three pillars support this approach: (1) sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments; (2) fork to farm: food, health and well being, and (3) life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes. This way new and emerging research opportunities can be exploited that address social and economic challenges, such as the growing demand for environmentally friendly systems of production and distribution of safer, healthier and higher quality food in line with consumer requirements and control of food-related risks, relying in particular on biotechnology tools, as well as health risks associated with environmental changes.

This appropriation is also intended to fund the development and improvement of analysis methods (e. g. residue analysis in food and feedingstuffs).

This appropriation is further intended to fund the development and improvement of the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) concept as a policy instrument for sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and the development of a policy concept restricting discard of by-catches.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Since, under current legislation, no specific funds are earmarked for fisheries research, at least the same percentage share will be maintained for fisheries research as under the 2007 budget.

Remarks

For the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) for the period 2007 to 2013, an integrated approach has been proposed which links all transport modes (aeronautics, road, rail, waterborne), addresses the socio-economic and technological dimensions of research and knowledge development, and encapsulates both innovation and the policy framework. It is in line with the White Paper on transport and the updated versions of the strategic research agendas of the four technology platforms in the field of transport. Based on technological advances, the general objective is to develop integrated, ‘greener’, ‘smarter’ and safer pan-European transport systems for the benefit of the citizen and society, respecting the environment and natural resources; and securing and further developing the competitiveness and the leading role attained by the European industries in the global market.

Remarks

Europe needs to become more attractive to researchers, in order to increase Europe’s capacity and performance in research and technological development and to consolidate and further develop the European Research Area. Against the background of growing competition at world level, the development of an open and competitive European labour market for researchers with diversified, attractive career prospects is needed.

The value added of the support provided in the People programme is the promotion of mobility, both trans-national and intersectoral, the structuring effect throughout the EU on the organisation, performance and quality of research training, on the active career development of researchers, and on knowledge sharing through researchers between sectors and research organisations, and on a strong participation of women.

TITLE 09

INFORMATION SOCIETY AND MEDIA

Overall objectives

The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed Lisbon strategy.

As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the main objectives are as follows: to promote and monitor the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance.

In the context of i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments.

As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the ‘Information Society and Media’ policy area are concerned, information and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim to step up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improve its impact on the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs.

The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities — research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross-discipline services to the research communities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT-based resources to virtual communities.

In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audiovisual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe’s creative sector and content industries by creating synergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

Remarks

The ICT PSP is one of the three specific programmes under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). It is a new legal instrument in the context of the 2007 to 2013 financial framework.

Actions will be stepped up at EU level for stimulating wider uptake of ICTs. Synergistic actions at EU level aim to reduce uncertainties and risks of duplication by sharing and replicating experiences and lessons learned and foster the internal market dimension of services triggered by ICTs promoting interoperability and combating fragmentation. They aim also to stimulate the regulatory and technological environments necessary to promote innovation and to overcome potential barriers (e.g. cultural, linguistic, technical, legal and disability- or ‘dys’ condition-related).

The ICT Policy Support programme shall provide for the following actions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | development of the single European information space and strengthening of the internal market for ICT products and services; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | stimulation of innovation through a wider adoption of and investment in ICTs; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | development of an inclusive information society and more efficient and effective services in areas of public interest, and improvement of the quality of life, particularly for disabled persons and persons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.). |

This will be done in particular by supporting the development and use of digital content [(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 19 20 21 22 25 26 29 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 47 48 51 52 53 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 81 82 83 87 88 91 92 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 131 133 134 137 138 139 140 145 146 149 150 153 154 155 156 161 162 163 166 167 170 171 172 173 178 179 180 181 186 187 190 191 192 193 198 200 201 204 205 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 228 230 231 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 252 253 254 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 310 311 312 313 314 315 322 323 324 325 330 331 332 333 338 339 340 341 346 347 348 349 354 355 358 359 360 363 364 367 368 371 372 373 374 379 380 383 384 387 388 391 392 393 394 399 401 402 403 404 409 410 411 415 417 418 419 423 424 427 429 430 431 432 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465)](#ntr1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9_10_11_12_13_14_15_16_19_20_21_22_25_26_29_31_32_33_34_35_36_37_38_47_48_51_52_53_57_58_59_60_61_62_63_64_65_66_67_68_81_82_83_87_88_91_92_95_96_97_98_99_100_101_102_103_104_105_106_107_108_109_110_111_112_131_133_134_137_138_139_140_145_146_149_150_153_154_155_156_161_162_163_166_167_170_171_172_173_178_179_180_181_186_187_190_191_192_193_198_200_201_204_205_208_209_210_211_212_213_214_215_216_217_228_230_231_234_235_236_237_238_239_240_241_242_252_253_254_258_259_260_261_262_263_264_265_266_267_278_279_280_281_282_283_284_285_294_295_296_297_298_299_300_301_310_311_312_313_314_315_322_323_324_325_330_331_332_333_338_339_340_341_346_347_348_349_354_355_358_359_360_363_364_367_368_371_372_373_374_379_380_383_384_387_388_391_392_393_394_399_401_402_403_404_409_410_411_415_417_418_419_423_424_427_429_430_431_432_442_443_444_445_446_447_448_449_450_451_452_453_454_455_456_457_458_459_460_461_462_463_464_465-) and the development of ICT-based services in areas of public interest, including in the areas of eHealth, eGovernment, eInclusion, eParticipation, education and learning and environment. The ICT in the CIP will ensure also that European businesses and in particular SMEs can benefit from the new opportunities brought by the increasing demand for these ICT based services.

Remarks

The overall objective of this programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable in areas of public interest — such as public-sector information, spatial data and educational, cultural and scientific content — facilitating the creation and dissemination of information and knowledge at Union level. The programme will support the development of multilingual content for innovative, online services across the EU. Such content should help to drive demand for broadband access and bring wider benefits for businesses, citizens and the economy. The programme seeks to support the combination of information from different systems — irrespective of format, language or location — and to ensure that content works on different platforms, and is better tailored to the specific needs of the user.

The operational focus will be on:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | facilitating access to, and use and exploitation of, digital content, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | improving quality and facilitating best practice for digital content, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | reinforcing cooperation and awareness. |

The measures described above will be the subject of shared-cost actions covering: projects designed to augment knowledge to improve existing products, processes and/or services and/or to meet the needs of Community policies; best practice actions to spread knowledge and thematic networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders around a given technological and organisational objective. There will also be parts that are fully financed by the Community, such as the accompanying measures that will contribute to the implementation of the programme or the preparation of future activities (studies in support of the programme; exchange of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered activities; dissemination, information and communication activities, evaluation and monitoring of the measure and projects).

Remarks

The objective of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) theme of the cooperation programme is to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens — particularly disabled persons and persons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.) — and businesses, industry and governments.

The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications.

The activities will leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from improvements of organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme will also support other policies of the European Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities will cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme coordination initiatives. The work programmes will specify the funding schemes (collaborative projects, networks of excellence, coordination and support actions, etc.) to be used for the topics on which proposals are invited, based on the different forms of Community grants (reimbursement of eligible costs, lump sum financing, flat rates).

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, as well as contributions from third countries associated with the seventh framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 09 04 02.

Remarks

Investing in knowledge is the best way for Europe to foster sustainable growth in a global economy. Many EU programmes will contribute to leveraging knowledge for growth but the research programme is the cornerstone of Europe’s knowledge policy. The specific programme ‘Capacities’ under the seventh framework programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities (RTD) aims to enhance research and innovation capacity throughout Europe to allow the emergence and reinforcement of and access to multidisciplinary European poles of excellence. In particular, research infrastructures play a key role in the creation of knowledge, its dissemination, application and exploitation, thus fostering innovation.

This activity addresses more specifically the deployment of ICT-based infrastructures, or e-Infrastructures. E-Infrastructures provide services to research communities by bringing the power of distributed ICT-based resources (computing, connectivity, storage, data and instrumentation) to virtual communities. The reinforcement of a European approach in this domain establishes synergies between national infrastructures or initiatives, ensures that critical masses are reached, rationalises new investments, and strives for world leadership. It can make a significant contribution to boosting European research potential and its exploitation, and consolidating e-Infrastructures as a cornerstone of the European Research Area, a ‘forerunner’ of cross-discipline innovation and a driver in changing the way science is conducted.

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Former Items 10 04 04 01 and 10 04 04 02

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 current programme initially covered the 2004 to 2006 period but was extended by one year (to cover 2007). A further extension may have to be introduced for 2008 in order to give time for a more definitive solution. That would require support from this budget line.

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, notably, the two Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands and France) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

Sixty per cent of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of shared management.

The financial contribution resulting from old fisheries agreements generally includes a part whose use is left entirely to the discretion of the relevant governments and a contribution to measures designed to ensure sustainable management of the third country's fishery resources. For new partnership agreements a global envelope is allocated. The amounts for 2008 concerning fisheries agreements in force can be broken down as follows (commitments): financial contribution EUR 4 769 000, support to the fisheries policy and other targeted measures EUR 3 114 000, and global envelopes for recent partnership agreements EUR 146 490 000. In the case of Mauritania, the current protocol in force (2006-2008) can be renewed by tacit renewal for an additional period of two years. Should this not be the case, the corresponding amount for 2008 will be transferred to the reserve line.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance the following under the action plan for closer dialogue with the fishing industry and those affected by the common fisheries policy (CFP) and maritime affairs:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | grants to Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) to cover operational costs as well as interpretation and translation costs of RACs meetings, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | grants to European trade bodies for the organisation of internal coordination meetings in preparation for meetings of the Advisory Committee on Fisheries (ACFA), including the participation of ACFA representatives in the meetings of the RACs in order to ensure coordination of the work of the RACs with that of the ACFA, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the implementation of measures to provide documentation about and explain the common fisheries policy aimed at the fishing industry and those affected by the common fisheries policy, as well as maritime affairs. |

The Commission will continue supporting the functioning of the RACs with a financial contribution and by participating in meetings, preparing relevant documents and ensuring that all RAC opinions are included when drafting new legislation. If the Commission does not include the RAC opinion or only parts of the opinion, the Commission should state why and where it deviates from the RAC opinion. The involvement of people working in fisheries and other interest groups in the CFP process will be strengthened, so that greater account of specific regional characteristics is taken.

Part of the appropriation is earmarked also for information and communication activities linked to the common fisheries policy and maritime affairs as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Efforts will continue to inform the stakeholders and the specialised media in the new Member States as well as in the countries joining the EU in the forthcoming enlargement about the common fisheries policy.

Any revenue may result in the opening of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The Solvit system has proved to be one of the most effective out-of-court dispute settlement mechanisms.

It can effectively and efficiently deal with problems faced by citizens or business, arising as a result of the misapplication of internal market legislation by a public administration in another Member State. Furthermore, the Solvit system is able to produce feedback information by using an online database system accessible to all coordination centres and which will also be made accessible to citizens and business.

Nevertheless, it still lacks sufficient attention and support in some Member States.

Therefore, more emphasis is to be given to training measures, promotion campaigns and targeted actions with a particular focus on the new Member States. By creating a specific budget line, the budgetary authority provides for a specific amount to be spent only for Solvit.

Additionally, the Commission shall inform the competent committee of the European Parliament about the concrete measures which have been undertaken in this field.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover possible completion costs of measures supported as special annual events.

EUR 880 000 has been allocated for the organisation of the ‘9th Winter Olympics for European Youth — Silesia — Beskidy 2009’, winter sport games which will be held over seven days in 2009 in Poland. 1 400 European sportsmen aged between 15 and 18, from 44 European countries, will be taking part. Expenditures by the organising committee will also be partly covered.

The event’s European dimension is obvious and powerful. Thanks to large-scale participation by young people from all European countries, the Olympics will bring about sound development of cultural cooperation among young people, with a strong focus on the educational values of fair play and on empowering the sporting spirit in young people. The event will also be an effective promotional vehicle for a healthy lifestyle and voluntary involvement of young people.

Last but not least, the Olympics will contribute to the development of the European Community with a stronger base of cultural and sport values.

With due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, in particular Articles 109 and 110 thereof, EUR 1 000 000 is intended as a contribution to the financing of the ‘Marathon for a United Europe’ at the place in which the first marathon commenced in ancient times in celebration of the Athenian victory over the Persians. This will take place in the summer of 2008 as part of a three-day cultural event. The ‘Marathon for a United Europe’ will be run from Tymbos Marathonos to the Panathinaiko Stadium in Athens and will be open to young people from the 27 EU Member States, including champion distance runners.

Remarks

The preparatory action should define a common framework for national civic services across the European Union, relying on the existing national civic service infrastructures and permitting the large-scale exchange of participants between EU Member States, leading to a truly universal European civic service. The service should be civic, i.e. civil or military. Each Member State would be able to choose the form of civic service. It should be open to young people, male and female, between 16 and 28 years old. This project would give tangible substance to the notion of European citizenship since it would provide an opportunity for the young participants to carry out part of their civic service in another country taking part in Amicus.

These appropriations are intended to fund general information operations concerning the European Union, for the purpose of making the work of the Community institutions more visible, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. They concern essentially the funding or co-funding of the production and/or dissemination of multimedia information products.

The Commission has adopted communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final). These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final) with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

With regard to decentralised work, the Commission’s representations and the European Parliament’s information offices jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies, with the exception of issues concerning each institution's specific institutional role.

These activities are carried out:

Remarks

The appropriations in this budget line are intended to cover the analysis of trends in public opinion, mainly by means of opinion polls (e.g. general-public ‘Eurobarometer’ surveys, ‘flash’ surveys, by telephone, of specific populations on particular subjects, at regional or national level, or qualitative surveys), together with quality control of these surveys.

The Commission has adopted communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final). These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final) with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

With regard to decentralised activities, the Commission’s Representations and the European Parliament’s information offices jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies, with the exception of issues concerning each institution's specific institutional role.

The measures are carried out:

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund on-line multimedia information and communication tools concerning the European Union, for the purpose of providing all citizens with general information on the work of the Community institutions, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. On-line tools make it possible to gather citizens’ questions or reactions on European issues. This is a public service task. The information covers all the Community institutions. These tools must be made accessible to people with disabilities, in accordance with WAI guidelines.

The Commission has adopted communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final). These communications propose a framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States and/or civil society for the development of a communication and information strategy for the European Union. In 2006, using in particular the Europa website, the Commission also published a White Paper on a European communication policy (COM(2006) 35 final) with the aim of bringing the Union closer to its citizens, and after consultations this will be followed by operational proposals.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

With regard to decentralised activities, the Commission’s Representations and the European Parliament’s external offices jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies, with the exception of issues concerning each institution's specific institutional role.

The measures are carried out:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters. |

The main types of tool concerned are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the Europa site, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the Europe Direct contact centre, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the Internet sites and multimedia products of the Representations in the Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | on-line summaries of legislation (SCAD), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | on-line press releases, speeches, memos, etc. (RAPID). |

These appropriations are also intended to fund information campaigns for facilitating access to these sources of information.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5 000.

Remarks

Decision No 1926/2006/EC establishes a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy (2007-2013) as defined in the multiannual strategy. The decision and the strategy entail two strategic objectives in the medium term:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Objective 1: to ensure a high level of consumer protection, notably through an improved evidence basis, better consultation and better representation of consumers’ interests, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Objective 2: to ensure effective application of consumer protection rules notably through enforcement cooperation, information, education and redress. |

The consumer programme consolidates and expands the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programmes. It considerably expands Community activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, market surveillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

For this purpose the Commission should conduct a survey of a basket of products in all 27 Member States, with the aim of assessing actual conformity with CE marketing.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The Commission is requested to provide information on the actions undertaken or planned to be taken to overcome implementation difficulties. This information should be presented at forthcoming trialogue meetings. This is in line with the declaration on ensuring proper budget implementation adopted at the November 2006 budget conciliation.

Legal basis

Decision No 1926/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a programme of Community action in the field of consumer policy (2007-2013) ([OJ L 404, 30.12.2006, p. 39](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:404:TOC)).

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments made in previous years in the context of the preceding programme of Community action in the field of public health.

The aim of this programme was to contribute to attaining a high level of health protection by directing action towards improving public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities were:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of effective health interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehensive system for collecting, analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authorities, health professionals and the public, and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and health-related policies, systems and measures, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to enhance the ability to respond rapidly and in a coordinated way to threats to health by developing, strengthening and assisting the operation and interlinking of surveillance, early warning and rapid reaction mechanisms covering health hazards, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to address health determinants through health promotion and disease-prevention measures, by supporting and developing broad health-promotion activities and disease-prevention actions and specific risk-reduction and elimination instruments. |

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The second public health programme replaces the previous programme established by Decision 1786/2002 and covers the period 2008-2013.

The main objectives of the second public health programme are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to improve information on and knowledge of health: the objective is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to improve the capacity to react rapidly to health threats to protect citizens against health threats, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to promote good health and prevent disease through action on health determinants, paying particular attention to issues linked to obesity and alcohol abuse. |

For 2008 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme will focus on three pillars where action at European level is essential:

(1) Health information

The objective of this pillar is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe — including on disabilities and ‘dys’ conditions — which is necessary to provide a solid foundation for health policy making and is also needed by professionals for their work and by citizens to enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices.

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

An effective rapid response capability is needed to avoid threats to public health, for example arising from communicable diseases or chemical or biological attacks. Tackling such threats needs to be coordinated effectively at EU level. EU integration based on the principle of free movement increases the need for vigilance, in order to respond to major cross-border health threats such as avian flu, or bioterrorism.

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

The overall objective is to contribute to EU prosperity by fostering healthy ageing and bridging inequalities as well as to enhance solidarity between national health systems.

Actions will include initiatives to increase healthy life years and promote healthy ageing; explore health’s impact on productivity and labour participation; support the reduction of inequalities between Member States and investment in health, thus contributing to the Lisbon agenda, and to productivity and growth. Actions will also enhance solidarity between health systems, including cooperation on shared challenges, thus facilitating the development of a Community framework for safe, high-quality and efficient health services.

Actions will further include the promotion of health by tackling environmental, addiction and lifestyle determinants.

Non-governmental organisations are key players in the implementation of the programme. Therefore, they should be allocated adequate funds.

Actions will also include appropriate initiatives to follow up on the recommendations obtained through the Green Paper consultation on mental health, and in particular on strategies to prevent suicide across the lifespan.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

Former Article 17 04 01

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.

The outbreak of some animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal market and on the Community's commercial relations with third countries. Thus, it is important for the Community to make a financial contribution in order to allow the fastest eradication possible of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease in Member States by deploying Community resources to fight these diseases.

In the event of mass influxes of refugees or displaced persons, emergency measures in the following areas can be taken under this article:

Under this provision, emergency measures can also be taken to address situations of particular pressure, characterised by the sudden arrival at particular points on the borders of a large number of third country nationals who may be in need of international protection, where this places exceptionally heavy and urgent demands on the reception facilities, the asylum system or the infrastructure of the Member State(s) concerned and may give rise to risks to human life, wellbeing or access to protection provided for under Community legislation.

The duration of such measures must not exceed six months. Besides the measures listed above, emergency measures may include legal aid and language assistance and the provision of translation and interpretation services, country of origin information or expertise and other measures contributing to the rapid identification of persons who may be in need of international protection and to fair and efficient processing of asylum applications.

Remarks

The purpose of the action is to test hypotheses in the field of migration management. On the basis of its evaluation, it could lead to the development of a global approach, an objective set by the European Union. The action will be based on three related components.

Component 1: Financial assistance for the employment of immigrants returning to their countries of origin with which there are admission agreements.

Component 2: Organising information campaigns, in countries of origin, for applicants for immigration into the European Union so as to inform them in particular about the dangers of illegal immigration.

Component 3: Reception in dignity and solidarity — Assistance to Member States in coping with reception of irregular migrants arriving by sea. Measures would:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assist Member States affected by sudden arrivals of migrants, e.g. by improving and exchanging good/best practices and providing interpreters and medical and legal teams, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assist Member States to enhance reception quality and capacity, including temporary capacity, reception of irregular migrants at arrival points, e.g, by providing first aid and transport to adequate reception centres and improving/increasing reception facilities and conditions at those facilities, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assist Member States in pooling resources to address particular pressures on their asylum systems, in particular through activities where specific expertise is needed, sharing knowledge and promoting joint approaches to address mass arrivals of asylum seekers at the external border of the EU. |

For component 3, recipients of funding should be national authorities. Projects may include partnerships with other Member State authorities, international organisations and NGOs.

For all components, part of the appropriations should be used by the Commission to help in the management of this action (external experts, studies, etc.).

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The aim of this heading is to introduce throughout the European Union a mechanism known as ‘Amber Alert’ (in the United States of America and Greece) and ‘Alerte-Enlèvement’ (in France), while stressing the need for cross-border interconnection.

Following the successful use, in France and Greece (and also in the USA and Canada), of systems alerting the public in cases of child abduction (or disappearance) and when children’s health or lives may be at serious risk, the Commission would like to help Member States to put similar mechanisms in place nationally. If all Member States adopt such mechanisms and communication schemes are put in place, resolving cross-border cases will be possible and easier.

This budget heading is intended to finance the additional costs which might arise as a result of putting this mechanism in place. Costs involved in setting up round-the-clock contact points, freephone lines and IT networks would be typical costs.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies.

It covers information measures in the field of justice and home affairs in relation to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice (internal web sites, public events, communication products, Eurobarometer surveys, etc.). These measures are designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Community institutions and take account of specific national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities.

The Commission has adopted two communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350). These communications propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an information campaign on the new transparency measures based on Article 255 of the EC Treaty and Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 and of the creation of an interinstitutional server giving online access to the EU law-making process.

It covers information to citizens about their rights of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents specifically relating to the interinstitutional law-making process. This measure is designed to inform citizens about the principles and conditions governing access to EU documents and at the same time to give them a single tool to facilitate their access to documents relating to an interinstitutional legislative procedure and to national implementing measures. In this context, this appropriation is also intended to cover the development of the TRANS-JAI project (system hosting and system environment support, development and preparation complete with maintenance).

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an awareness-raising campaign by the Commission, in cooperation with civil society, on EU citizens’ rights under Article 13 of the Treaty on European Union.

Remarks

Former Items 19 02 01 01, 19 02 01 02 and 19 02 01 03

As part of the rationalisation and simplification of the instruments for external actions for the period of the 2007 to 2013 Financial Framework, the financial and technical assistance to third countries in the areas of migration and asylum (‘Aeneas’ programme) is replaced by a thematic cooperation programme with third countries in these fields. The ‘Aeneas’ programme (2004 to 2006) was adopted following the preparatory action for 2001 to 2003 and the Commission Communication on integrating migration issues in the European Union's relations with third countries (COM(2002) 703 final), which have paved the way for the legal basis.

The aim of the programme is to address the causes of migration in countries of origin. Under this programme, appropriations may also be used to provide, in a specific and complementary way, technical and financial assistance for third countries to support them in their efforts to ensure better management of migratory flows in all aspects.

Priority will be given to comprehensive programmes that are consistent with Community efforts which contribute to addressing the root causes of migration.

The EU has approved a Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit in the field of migration and asylum, which will provide a specific, additional response to the needs encountered by these countries in their efforts to better manage south-south migratory flows, and combat poverty, the root cause of migration, as well as mitigating the brain drain from south to north in the process, and to help them to improve their capacities to fulfil their international obligations in the field of asylum and migration; full attention will be given to the way individuals (migrants, refugees or readmitted persons) are treated, which will be subject to strict controls.

This Community cooperation programme will finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and regional Community cooperation and development strategies regarding the non-EU countries concerned and complete the actions — in particular in the fields of migration, asylum, border control, refugees and displaced people — provided for in the implementation of these strategies and financed from other Community instruments in the field of cooperation and development.

The respect of democratic principles and rule of law, as well as of human and minority rights and of fundamental freedoms, will constitute an essential element for the application of this instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be associated with measures aiming to strengthen democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international instruments in this field, including the Geneva Convention on Refugees.

Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agencies (in particular, United Nations agencies), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other non-State actors, federal, national, provincial and local governments of third countries, their departments and agencies, institutes, associations and public and private operators.

Part of this appropriation will be used to establish effective partnership with third countries in the fight against human trafficking.

Remarks

The Council Presidency must ensure that the European Parliament is closely involved in all stages of the decision-making process. The joint consultation meetings provided for under point 43 of the 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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2006:139:TOC)) will provide an opportunity to establish a continuous dialogue between the two institutions on the main choices for and aspects of the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy.

The regular joint consultation meetings should provide an opportunity for a real political dialogue, instead of being merely used to inform Parliament after the event.

Remarks

Former Article 21 04 04

The objective of the measure is to provide financial support for lawyers acting in criminal cases involving Member State nationals in third countries whose judicial rights have been found not to have been observed.

The following actions are envisaged:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | defending accused persons and victims alongside local lawyers and ensuring that fair trials are held, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | providing financial assistance to defenders of human rights defending EU nationals whose fundamental rights have been threatened. |

The aim of the project is to establish partnership relations for organising judicial support with the many lawyers’ associations, lawyers’ NGOs and trade associations for the legal professions in third countries.

Bodies responsible for providing immediate defence (ad hoc assignments in countries where human rights are under threat, either acting alone or together with local lawyers in sensitive cases in criminal courts) could be beneficiaries. Were this to be the case, the urgent protection provisions set out in Article 13(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 establishing a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide would remain unchanged.

Remarks

The quick release of financing through the Instrument for Stability is designed to address situations of urgency, crisis or emerging crisis, a situation posing a threat to democracy, law and order, to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, to the security and safety of individuals, situations threatening to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country concerned and where such situations are likely to jeopardise the beneficial effects of assistance and cooperation policies and programmes, their effectiveness and/or conditions for their proper implementation.

This appropriation is intended to cover an integrated programme of response measures designed to re-establish the minimum conditions necessary for the conduct of assistance under the Community’s long term assistance instruments. Such programmes will ensure a smooth link between relief, rehabilitation and development. They shall also provide complementary measures falling under Community competence relating to measures adopted under the CFSP, as part of a comprehensive EU approach to crisis.

The appropriation is also intended to cover response measures to prevent and reduce climate-change-induced hazards, in particular management of water resources, in cases where these hazards risk escalating into security threats.

Operations covered will include:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | technical and logistical support for the efforts of international and regional organisations, state and non-state actors in promoting confidence-building, mediation, dialogue and reconciliation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the relaunch of basic public services and economic activity, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the initial physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised combatants |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the restoration of the institutional capacities needed for good governance and ensuring the rule of law and democracy, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assisting with the special needs of women and children affected by armed conflict, particularly rehabilitation of children affected by war, including child soldiers, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | preparedness measures aimed at strengthening the capacity of international, regional and sub-regional organisations, state and non-state actors in relation to their efforts in promoting early warning, confidence-building, mediation and reconciliation and addressing emerging inter-community tensions, and in improving post-conflict and post-disaster recovery. |

Implementing partners may include authorities of the Member States or of beneficiary countries and their agencies, regional and international organisations and their agencies, NGOs, public and private operators and individual organisations or operators (including staff seconded from Member State administrations) with appropriate specialised expertise and experience.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover, in addition to the funding allocated to anti-personnel mine schemes under cooperation programmes with the beneficiary countries concerned, Community contribution to projects against anti-personnel landmines, in particular schemes relating to implementation of the Ottawa Treaty (Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-personnel Mines).

It is also intended to cover actions aimed at the rehabilitation of victims of anti-personnel mines.

It is intended to cover a whole range of actions such as mine clearance, stockpile destruction, mine risk education, survey of suspected areas and victim assistance.

It also includes financing of activities of non-governmental organisations to raise the issue of the landmine problem with non-State armed groups which are ‘part of the problem’ and therefore should also be ‘part of the solution’.

Remarks

This item is intended to cover a preparatory action to set up a voluntary technical assistance programme for countries in need. It will provide the structure to send volunteers from the EU Member States to third countries to help with the implementation of European Union instruments in order to assist to people in third countries. The structure must be able to provide the European volunteers with the necessary training, make other preparatory arrangements for them and cover the cost of the volunteers’ operation in a third country plus costs possibly arising after an operation but directly related to it.

It is also intended to finance a feasibility study on the establishment of a European Civil Peace Corps going beyond humanitarian aid in stricto sensu.

The preparatory action is intended to fund preparatory work by the Commission to develop the best way to create such a structure, possibly in cooperation with third parties engaged in the humanitarian and development aid sector, to set up all elements of the chosen structure on a small scale, and to recruit and deploy initial volunteers in a pilot scheme.

Legal basis

To that effect the EU has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation. The EU has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common interests and shared values and based on the creation of four ‘common spaces’. The appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on EU policy objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation measures aimed primarily at supporting the implementation of the agreements and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the EU’s Mediterranean neighbours. It will also be used to support the implementation of the five-year Euro-Mediterranean Work Plan for 2006 to 2010. This will cover inter alia the following areas of cooperation:

Horizontal visibility of Community Assistance and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the objectives of EU action in Mediterranean third countries.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country in the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Community assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, assistance and cooperation with governments should not be provided if there is clear evidence that the governments in question are responsible for a deterioration of the situation in the fields of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover operations for the benefit of the Palestinian people and the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in the context of the Middle East peace process.

The operations are primarily aimed at:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | supporting State building and institutional development, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting social and economic development, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | mitigating the effects on the Palestinian population of the deteriorating economic, fiscal and humanitarian conditions through the provision of essential services and other support, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contributing to the financing of the operation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and in particular its health, education and social services programmes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | financing preparatory operations aimed at promoting cooperation between Israel and its neighbours in the context of the peace process, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and energy, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | financing activities designed to create a public opinion favourable to the peace process, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | financing information, including in Arabic and Hebrew, and disseminating information on Israeli-Palestinian cooperation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | fostering the development of civil society, encouraging less well-represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons. |

The active involvement of the EU in, and its support for, the Middle East peace process will continue in 2008. It should, in particular, ensure the provision of aid to UNRWA, with a view to meeting Palestine refugees’ needs. Such aid needs to be increased, given that the amounts set out in the joint declaration signed by UNRWA and the Commission on 28 February 2007 are inadequate. Additional funding is required in order to meet the needs of the Palestinian population which are becoming more urgent with every passing day, particularly since the de facto split between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in June 2007.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation actions aimed primarily at supporting the implementation of the agreements and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the EU’s Eastern neighbours. It will also be used to support the Strategic Partnership between the EU and Russia through implementation of the four common spaces covering economic cooperation; freedom, security and justice; external security; and research and education, including culture. This will entail, inter alia, the following areas of cooperation:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | supporting measures to eliminate stockpiles of obsolete pesticides. |

Appropriations under this Item will also be used for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential beneficiaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Community assistance.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country of the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Community assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations.

A maximum amount of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

The importance of developing cooperation in the Black Sea region is recognised in the context of the ‘Black Sea Synergy’. The Black Sea region occupies a strategic position for energy security and for the economic development of the EU and the neighbouring countries. The Black Sea Joint Operational Programme includes ten partner states, of which three are Member States and one is an applicant country. It is necessary to supplement the budget with a view to developing infrastructures for transport, tourism and cultural cooperation in the Black Sea region.

Part of the commitments and payment appropriations are placed in reserve pending presentation by the Commission of an improvement action plan following the findings of the Court of Auditors (Special Report No 2/2006; [OJ C 119, 19.5.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2006:119:TOC)).

19 08 02   Cross-border cooperation (CBC) — European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI)

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the EU's external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the EU’s Strategic Partnership with Russia. The adoption of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) has considerably enhanced the scope for cross-border cooperation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Under the new approach, CBC programmes established on the EU’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the EC budget and be implemented according to a single set of rules, the one established under the ENPI Regulation. The global amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget items presented under this article.

This appropriation is intended to fund a number of cross-border cooperation programmes, established along all the land and maritime borders. Such programmes will provide a tangible signal that the EU does not want to establish new dividing lines and they will also strengthen the partnership among border regions of the EU and neighbouring countries and help them to deal with common development problems. They will focus on the following four main objectives:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting economic and social development in regions on both sides of common borders, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | working together to address common challenges, in fields such as the environment, public health and the prevention of and the fight against organised crime, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensuring efficient and secure borders and solving EU border crossing problems by increasing capacity for handling goods traffic, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting local, cross-border ‘people-to-people’ actions, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | fostering the development of civil society, encouraging less well-represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons. |

Appropriations under this Article will also be used for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential beneficiaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Community assistance.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and basic health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria. |

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation schemes in developing countries in Latin America in order to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | improve basic health and basic education by endeavouring, in accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of the DCI, to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assist institutional support and help consolidate democracy, human rights and the rule of law, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | foster the development of civil society, encourage less well-represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society and the political system, combat all forms of discrimination, and strengthen the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups, including disabled persons and older persons. |

This appropriation is also intended to cover measures to promote the self-sufficiency of refugees, displaced persons and other population groups who have left their country of origin or residence because of fighting, lack of security or other man-made crises, notably in Colombia. Measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international organisations.

The appropriation also covers measures to initiate the return to a normal life of people in developing countries in the aftermath of critical situations arising out of natural disasters, violent conflicts or other crises. In particular, operations may cover programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations and other civil society players which promote the participation of the beneficiary population at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible for clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for actions to control and remove anti-personnel landmines (APL), explosive remnants of war (ERW) and illicit small arms and light weapons (SALW).

The measures funded from this budget heading will take account of the demographic change factor.

Funding over and above the reference amount in Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 may be used for measures in the higher-education field, even though they may not be directly relevant in terms of abolishing poverty in Latin America.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum amount of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance cooperation measures in Latin American developing countries not covered by Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006, in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in those countries.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients‚ by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm.

Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria. |

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities directed towards the citizens of the EU and dealing with the EU’s external policies as a whole.

The areas which will be covered by information activities include those below, but may embrace other aspects of the EU’s external relations, particularly in relation to the future of the EU’s external policy.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Address a weak public perception of external assistance. The objective is to make clear that external assistance is an integral part of what the EU does and is one of the crucial policies that define the EU and its role in the world. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | The ‘European Neighbourhood Policy’ (ENP). The (ENP) was launched on the basis of a communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 11 March 2003 ‘Wider Europe — Neighbourhood: A new framework for relations with our eastern and southern neighbours’ (COM(2003) 104 final). The actions which are part of this activity will continue to provide information on the activities of the European Union in the framework of its ‘European Neighbourhood Policy’. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Information activities, to be carried out in cooperation with the Council, on the aims and development of the common foreign and security policy. |

The Commission has adopted two communications to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a new framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final and COM(2002) 350 final). They propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of a communication and information policy strategy for the European Union.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

Irrespective of the beneficiary of the measure, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

TRADE

Overall objectives

This domain aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to international trade and the reduction of customs barriers.

An important pillar of the European Union’s economic relations with the rest of the world, it contributes to the Union’s broader goals of promoting sustainable development and assuming a larger role in multilateral governance. It covers all the main aspects of trade in goods and services (tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade protection measures, in particular in cases of dumping and subsidies, export credits) and the important issues of intellectual property, investment and competition.

Multilateral initiatives and programmes to be funded under this appropriation will support the following actions:

Assistance for trade policy, participation in negotiations and implementation of trade agreements

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to formulate their trade policy and to strengthen the institutions involved in trade policy, including comprehensive and updated trade reviews and assistance in integrating trade into their respective policies for economic growth and development.

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in international trade negotiations and to implement international trade agreements.

TITLE 21

DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC (ACP) STATES

Overall objectives

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly goal 1 to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Translate the policy framework into the new programming cycle. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Improve the effectiveness of EU aid among Member States and with international donors, develop the EC's role as a centre of excellence for EU thinking on development policies and strengthen the EU/EC’s impact on the international development debate and cooperation. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Enhance policy coherence for development. |

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria. |

Community assistance shall not be given to any government or organisation or programme which supports or participates in the management of a programme which involves human rights abuses such as coercive abortion or involuntary sterilisation or infanticide. This implements the specific Cairo ICPD prohibition on coercion or compulsion in sexual and reproductive health matters. The Commission shall present each year a report on the implementation of the EU’s external assistance covering this programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to promote and implement the policy on the environment and on the sustainable management of natural resources, including energy, as it applies to the Community’s relations with developing countries and with Europe’s neighbours.

Remarks

This appropriation will be used to support the creation of the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF), which aims at providing risk capital to different types of renewable energy and energy efficiency investment projects in developing countries, Europe and its neighbouring countries.

In the context of climate change, the European Union needs to take the lead as regards measures to reduce the effects and causes of climate change. The exchange of good practices between the Member States in the area of energy efficiency will enable the European Union to act in a coordinated fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a Community contribution to actions to improve reproductive and sexual health in developing countries and to secure respect for the rights related thereto.

Financial assistance shall be provided with a view to promoting the recognition of reproductive and sexual rights, safe motherhood and universal access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual health services.

In the allocation of such funding and expertise, priority shall be given to the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population within developing countries and to action that complements and reinforces both the policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other instruments of development cooperation.

The purposes of the activities carried out shall be to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | secure the right of women, men and adolescents to good reproductive and sexual health, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | enable women, men and adolescents to have access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual healthcare services and products, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | reduce maternal mortality rates, with particular reference to the countries and populations where these are highest, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | combat female genital mutilation. |

Financial support shall be given to projects or programmes specifically designed to attain the objectives described above.

This appropriation is intended to finance a preparatory action to combat poverty-related diseases other than HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. It is in particular intended to contribute to immunisation programmes against illnesses such as measles, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae B, yellow fever, meningitis and pneumococcus-induced diseases by complementing vaccination efforts under way in some developing countries.

The preparatory actions aim through targeted and innovative measures to identify and provide the conditions for better coordination between the EU, the Member States and the main international public-private partnerships involved in the field of public health and immunisation as well as to secure more effective investment in health systems (prevention, education, capacity-building) in developing countries.

This appropriation is intended to cover a Community contribution to the implementation of the European Community action programme for targeting the three major communicable diseases, namely HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, in developing countries.

Under that programme, the Community shall provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise with a view to promoting investment in health, poverty reduction and equitable economic growth in developing countries.

In the allocation of such funding and expertise, priority shall be given to the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population, especially women and girls, within developing countries, and also to action that complements and reinforces both the policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other instruments of development cooperation. These activities ought to contribute to innovative solutions which will improve the performance of current practices related to the fight against poverty-related diseases.

The purpose of all the activities carried out shall be to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | optimise the impact of existing interventions, services, commodities and information targeted at the major communicable diseases affecting the poorest populations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | increase the affordability of key pharmaceuticals, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | increase research and development, including vaccines and clinical trials, microbiocides and innovative treatments, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | increase activities in the area of disease prevention, including VCCT testing, targeted information campaigns and counselling among high-risk groups, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promote awareness-raising campaigns, education, information and communication efforts aimed at reducing risk-taking behaviour, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | integrate gender sensitivity in HIV/AIDS programming and the development of female-initiated and female-controlled prevention methods as well as to integrate men into programmes focusing on the impact on women and girls, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promote leadership awareness training. |

This appropriation is also intended to fund malaria vaccination programmes.

Community financial support shall be given to specific projects designed to further the objectives described above, including support for global initiatives targeting the major communicable diseases in the context of poverty reduction, notably the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria which came into operation on 29 January 2002.

This appropriation is intended as a pilot project to support national programmes of aid for basic education in developing countries through relevant action and analyses.

It is intended to promote cultural diversity by supporting cooperation in the field of culture, including:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activities supporting mutual understanding between different cultures within partner countries, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | exchanges allowing for greater cultural understanding between developing countries and the European Union. |

Primary education

This appropriation is intended to finance sectoral budget support targeted at ending school and uniform fees in primary education, especially for girls. The limited number of beneficiary countries will be chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking and in accordance with the rules applied by the Commission for the countries benefiting from budget support, with particular reference to their ability to fulfil criteria of good governance and sound financial management.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance preparation of the beneficiary countries to offset the costs of ending the user fees by other means of public financing after the end of this temporary EU action.

School meals

This appropriation is intended to finance sectoral budget support targeted at school meals for children in primary schools. This measure complements the Quick Win action to end school and uniform fees and will be conducted with the same countries, chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking and in accordance with the rules applied by the Commission for the countries benefiting from budget support, in particular their ability to fulfil criteria of good governance and sound financial management.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance preparation of the beneficiary countries to organise public financing for school meals after the end of this temporary EU action.

Food security

This appropriation is intended to finance aid to smallholder farmers for a massive replenishment of soil nutrients on land with nutrient-depleted soils, through free or subsidised distribution of chemical fertilisers and through agroforestry.

The countries benefiting from this action will be chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking.

This appropriation is intended to increase the capacity of civil society players and local authorities to act, mobilise and organise, to promote dialogue between government and non-governmental players. It is intended to cover the financing of social and economic development operations to benefit the poorest sections of the population in developing countries, in particular vulnerable groups. It supports sustainable development initiatives taken by the local public authorities, community-based organisations and associations or groupings in developing countries, possibly in association with their European Union counterparts.

It is intended, in this context, mainly to cover information, educational, capitalisation and communication schemes so as to enable potential agents to better assimilate the decentralised cooperation approach and to take a more active role in consultations regarding Community programmes and in the implementation of decentralised cooperation.

This appropriation will fund information and communication technologies that can assist with the process of decentralised cooperation.

This appropriation was intended to enable the Commission to establish in 2002 a mechanism to support capacity-building in developing countries for information and communication technologies (ICT) and sustainable energy. The programme should be well coordinated with other donor initiatives on ICT and sustainable energy.

The sustainable energy component is addressed through Article 06 04 02, whereas the ICT component is addressed through national/regional programmes whenever relevant.

The Commission should also use this appropriation to work with the United Nations Development programme on joint pilot projects and ensure that the full benefits of ICT and sustainable energy technologies are explored and properly highlighted.

This appropriation is intended:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to implement a catalyst role in promoting gender equality in Community development cooperation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise, while at the same time reinforcing the gender mainstreaming strategy by supporting specific actions for the empowerment of women. |

Remarks

For countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments has in the past been allocated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility should be the norm. The Commission will continue to report on this benchmark.

Moreover, in parallel with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)), the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide the European Parliament and the Council with an annual report on the Community’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic health and basic education, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria. |

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the report.

After the report has been presented the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will enter into a dialogue on the results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

This appropriation also covers the protection and promotion of human rights, including children’s rights, which are fully integrated into programming, including in the country strategy papers (CSPs), national indicative programmes (NIPs) and mid-term reviews.

Remarks

This appropriation is in accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) between the European Union and South Africa and Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation.

Development cooperation is implemented through CSP/MIPs under the TDCA and is financed from the Community budget. For the period 2007 to 2013, the programme will be implemented under a new Country Strategy Paper and Multiannual Programme.

This appropriation is intended primarily to cover the financing of development cooperation projects and programmes with South Africa, which contribute:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to South Africa’s harmonious and sustainable economic and social development through programmes and measures designed to reduce poverty and encourage economic growth which benefits the poor, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to its continued integration into the world economy, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to consolidate the foundations laid for a democratic society and a State governed by the rule of law in which human rights and fundamental freedoms are fully respected, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to improving social services and helping to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by endeavouring to ensure that 20 % of allocated assistance will be dedicated, over the total period 2007-2013, to social services, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved. |

Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals, taking into account the needs of the previously disadvantaged communities and integrate gender and environmental dimensions of development. Special attention shall be paid to the strengthening of institutional capacities.

Development cooperation will focus mainly on:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Strengthening capacity for and support to service delivery to the poor at provincial and municipal level (health, HIV/AIDS, education, housing, infrastructures such as water and sanitation, sustainable energy, communication). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Support to South Africa’s second economy, with a specific view to employment generation (addressing both labour demand and supply issues, such as skills development). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Support to governance (both in the public and non-public domains). |

Development cooperation may also cover areas such as management of natural resources and environmental protection, disaster prevention and risk reduction, sustainable energy and climate-change-related measures.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. A maximum of 4 % may be entered on the line for administrative support expenditure for the corresponding programme.

Remarks

Action A: coordination

Budget financing provides the Commission with the means of support it needs to prepare, formulate and follow up coordination measures under its development policy. Policy coordination is crucial to the consistency, complementarity and effectiveness of aid.

Coordination measures are essential in defining and shaping European development policy at a strategic and programming level. The specific nature of European development policy is directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 177 and 180 of the EC Treaty). Community aid is complementary to the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development cooperation and complementarity cannot work without coordination. Article 180 of the Treaty requires the Commission to act as coordinator of national policies and coordinator of EU objectives with national objectives in the area of development cooperation and assistance.

Coordination is not only a major factor in the Commission’s value added vis-à-vis the policies of the Member States but also a priority in the work schedule at the point where the agendas of the European Union and the international community intersect. It therefore reflects a steadily growing demand from the other European institutions, as recognised by the Member States and by the European Parliament at the European Council in Barcelona in March 2002.

This appropriation covers various forms of action:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, impact and viability studies in the area of coordination, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | meetings of experts and exchanges between the Commission and Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | monitoring of operations in the course of implementation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support measures to improve the quality of the monitoring of ongoing operations and the preparation of future operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | measures to support external initiatives in the sphere of coordination, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the preparation of common positions, statements and initiatives, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the organisation of events relating to coordination, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | dissemination of information through the production of publications and the development of information systems. |

Action B: raising awareness

This appropriation covers the financing of activities designed to draw attention to action by the EU and the Member States in the development field and to raise public awareness of development issues. Every activity financed under this article must include the following two components, which are complementary in the Commission’s view:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an ‘information’ component, designed to promote the various activities which the EU undertakes in the development aid field and the activities which it conducts in partnership with the Member States and other international institutions, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an ‘awareness-raising’ component, covering public opinion in the Community and in the ACP States (78 countries). These activities are targeted primarily at the young. An immediate priority of this component is also to raise public awareness in the Member States about the Community’s action in the development cooperation field. |

These activities consist mainly, though not exclusively, of financial support for schemes in the audiovisual, publications, seminars and events fields as applied to development, the production of information material, the development of information systems, and also the Lorenzo Natali prize for journalism in the development field.

These activities are directed at public and private sector partners, and at the EU’s representations and delegations in the Member States, the accession countries and the ACP States.

The appropriation also covers the introduction of a system which gives access to the public to follow via the Internet the progress of EU development aid from the decision on the budget to the implementation of the actual project in the developing country.

Irrespective of the beneficiary of the measure, no administrative expenditure against this article is authorised.

Remarks

After enlargement, the Commission remains responsible for ensuring that all legal and financial requirements are met, in particular with regard to sound and efficient financial management. In line with their Acts of Accession, all implementing agencies in the 12 new Member States that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 must operate under the extended decentralised implementation system (EDIS). In Bulgaria and Romania, the extended decentralised implementation system has been introduced. To accompany the transition in Bulgaria and Romania, administrative and personnel structures for the supervision and monitoring of programmes may be maintained for up to 19 months after accession.

The tasks carried out at Headquarters relating to the completion of pre-accession programmes notably concern project follow-up in the context of both monitoring of outcomes and financial management, including payment requests, supervision of implementation under EDIS, and follow-up to post-accession transitional financial aid. Requests to extend programmes and modify project fiches and/or financial allocations must also be duly assessed and an appropriate decision submitted to the Commission.

This appropriation is intended to cover the administrative costs of this remaining part of the phasing-out of the accession assistance programmes in the new Member States, namely:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | expenditure on temporary support staff in the Commission's Representations (detached national experts, individual experts, staff from employment agencies) for the purposes of programme management in the Commission’s Representations together with the additional logistical, administrative and infrastructure cost, such as the cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications and of renting directly caused by the presence in the Commission's Representations of the temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations of this item, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | expenditure on short-term technical assistance, linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme (or measures coming under this article, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters working on tasks directly related to the completion of the accession programmes; expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 100 000 and this estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members. |

Remarks

Under the IPA, pre-accession financial assistance is available not only for candidate countries but is also extended to potential candidate countries. This appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and institution building’ for potential candidate countries. The main objective is to support the participation of the potential candidates in the stabilisation and association process and their progression towards candidate status given their enhanced European perspective following the Thessaloniki European Council (19 to 20 June 2003). This will involve supporting the gradual introduction of the acquis for all countries and the implementation of obligations under the Interim Agreement/Stabilisation and Association Agreements, in particular by means of:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | strengthening democratic institutions, as well as the rule of law, including its enforcement, |

Remarks

New article

The appropriation will be used for supporting non-profit organisations (NGOs or public) in conducting site preservation and restoration projects concerning valuable cultural and religious objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) damaged or destroyed by war or other political conflicts in the western Balkans.

Whenever possible, particular attention should be given to projects that support the confidence-building process by involving different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects.

In future, experience gained under this pilot project could also serve to develop a wider approach for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas in other geographical regions.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities ([OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 ([OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:343:TOC)).

Remarks

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their administrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of best practice.

The transition facility for the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Implementation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of Accession (2005), lasting one year following their accession to the EU. Implementation is expected to continue until 2010.

The transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded by Phare during the pre-accession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and decision-making will continue to apply for the transition facility, with some minor adjustments.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to new Member States in areas where their administrative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with the other Member States. The transition facility should provide the tools to enable them to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked.

The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which cannot be financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strengthening of law enforcement capacities), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | financial control, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | protection of the Communities’ financial interests and the fight against fraud, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the internal market, including the customs union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the environment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | administrative and control structures for agriculture and rural development, including the integrated administration and control system (IACS), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | nuclear safety (strengthening the effectiveness and competence of nuclear safety authorities and their technical support organisations as well as public radioactive waste management agencies), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | statistics, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the strengthening of public administration according to needs identified in the Commission’s comprehensive monitoring report which are not covered by the Structural Funds. |

The issues addressed by the transition facility have been identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority should be given to areas where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked to secure rapid remedial action.

Part of each allocation may be assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, including audit and evaluation actions. The remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the specific powers assigned directly to the Commission by Article 34 of the Act of Accession of 16 April 2003 and Article 31 of Title III of the Act of Accession of 25 April 2005 (part of the Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover technical assistance in the field of approximation of legislation for the entire acquis communautaire, helping all bodies involved in the implementation and enforcement of the acquis, including non-governmental organisations, to achieve their objectives and to monitor their rate of achievement.

The objective is to provide as rapidly as possible short-term assistance by means of seminars, workshops, study visits and expert visits, training arrangements, provision of tools and products, notably for information gathering and dissemination, translation/interpretation, as well as any other forms of technical assistance in the context of the approximation to the European Union acquis.

The range of beneficiaries comprises representatives from all public and semi-public-sector bodies such as national administrations, parliaments, legislative councils, regional governments, regulatory and supervisory authorities, as well as those from social partners and representatives of commercial, professional and economic groupings which are involved in the transposition, implementation and enforcement of the acquis communautaire.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities on enlargement, mainly regarding Member States, including impact assessments and evaluation actions.

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement timetable. While 2004 was a transition year, with a focus on central communication policies, reflecting the transformation of Delegations to Representations in the 10 new Member States, since 2005 the aim of the policies is to promote support for accession, and to raise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where public opinion is more sensitive to subsequent stages of enlargement.

The appropriations allocated will finance information and communication actions on priority EU policies such as: an effective dialogue on enlargement and pre-accession between the European citizens and the Union’s institutions, taking into account each country’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the EU and that of candidate and pre-accession countries; informing journalists on the enlargement process; studies and opinion polls; developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising conferences and seminars; and evaluating the information programme.

The Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI), co-chaired by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission, lays down common guidelines for interinstitutional cooperation in matters of EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities ([OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 ([OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:343:TOC)).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities on enlargement mainly regarding candidate and potential candidate countries, including impact assessments and evaluation actions.

The main focus will be on the implementation of the re-orientated communication strategy on enlargement and pre-accession through working programmes. The bulk of this appropriation will be allocated to cover information and communication activities in a deconcentrated manner to delegations in acceding, candidate and potential candidate countries.

Information and communication actions will be directed at the general public, relevant audiences, target groups, especially youth, media and the rural population, and will seek to enhance support among opinion leaders for enlargement as well as the association and stabilisation process. The aim is also to strengthen the EU's profile and political leverage in those countries and generate public support for the reforms process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

The appropriations allocated will build on the strategy from the previous year and lessons learnt and finance activities such as management of information centres, organising information events, seminars and training, networking, media relations, research, studies and opinion polls, publications and Internet websites.

Remarks

Former Item 02 01 04 05

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this budget heading, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts, as technical assistance offices’ contracts expire during subsequent years.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution to participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

| — | 2 000 000 |  |

Remarks

It is necessary to monitor new and assess old legislation. This pilot project should involve setting up a multiannual project with the aim of establishing a small organisation that is apolitical and independent, and does not target the policy objectives of the proposed legislation but focuses solely on the administrative burden brought about by a particular legislative proposal.

Furthermore, this organisation should review how the Commission handles its responsibility to keep the administrative burden as low as possible in the context of, and with due regard for, the aim of the planned legislation.

Moreover, this organisation should focus on considering the degree to which in the explanatory memorandum for the planned legislation the consequences in terms of administrative burdens have been examined and whether the Commission has shown itself to have sought the least burdensome option to realise the policy objectives of the proposed legislation.

Legal basis

Remarks

Former Item 02 02 04 01

On 21 April 2004, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision 2004/387/EC laying down a programme on interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDABC). This programme, which is aimed at promoting the establishment of pan-European eGovernment services and the telecommunications networks on which they are based, contributes to the eEurope initiatives (in the context of the Lisbon objectives) and the related action plans. It contributes to eliminating or reducing the obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, supports the creation of a European area of security, justice and freedom, and facilitates application of the Community acquis following enlargement.

IDABC falls into two sections: projects of common interest and horizontal measures.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must implement projects of common interest in support of sectoral policies, interinstitutional cooperation and the operation of the European Agencies. The projects cover the preparation, feasibility, development and implementation of pan-European eGovernment services; these information and interactive services must be provided by public administrations to public administrations, businesses and the general public.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must also implement horizontal measures to support interoperability. These will include:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | horizontal (trans-sectoral) pan-European services, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | infrastructure services, identified in response to the general requirements of the projects of common interest aimed at facilitating interoperability, this being the essential condition in both technical and economic terms, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | strategic activities and support for the evaluation and promotion of eGovernment services and the promotion of good practice and cost/benefit analyses, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | greater promotion of the use of open source software by public administrations for citizens, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | services accessible to disabled citizens. |

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from candidate countries’ contribution for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 200 000.

AUDIT

Overall objectives

The aims of this policy area are to contribute to the efficient and effective performance of all Commission activities by providing independent, effective and objective assurance and consultancy. This will include auditing the internal control systems that exist within the Commission in order to assess their effectiveness and, more generally, the performance of Commission departments in implementing policies, programmes and actions with a view to bringing about continuous improvement. It will also seek to help the Commission and its departments, by means of its opinions, advice and recommendations with regard to the control of risks, the safeguarding of assets, compliance with rules, accurate and reliable accounting and management information, the quality of internal control and, finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. These objectives build on relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), and are carried out in accordance with the tasks described in the Financial Regulation.

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 the Reserve is fixed at EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices.

The 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 the Reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary authority a proposal for a transfer from the 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 the Reserve and on the amount required.

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of information and communication measures undertaken by the Office.

The Office's external information and communication strategy is central to its work. The Office was set up as an independent investigative body and must therefore have its own communications strategy. The Office's work is often too technical to be immediately comprehensible to the general public. The Office has to inform its interlocutors and the public as a whole of its role and tasks. Public perception of the Office's work is of paramount importance.

As a Commission service, the Office also needs to take account of the democratic deficit existing between Community institutions and the citizens of Europe. The Commission has recognised this deficit and drawn up an action plan to address it.

The communications strategy that the Office has developed and continues to implement must demonstrate its independence.

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Under the agreement establishing the European Economic Area the EFTA countries (with the exception of Switzerland) take part in a wide range of Community policies covered by headings 1a, 3a, 3b, 4 and 5 of the financial framework in exchange for a financial contribution to operating appropriations calculated by applying a ‘proportionality factor’. This proportionality factor is equal to the sum of the ratios obtained by dividing the gross domestic product at market prices of each EFTA country by the gross domestic product at market prices of all the EC Member States plus that of the EFTA country concerned.

For 2008 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,39 % (on the basis of 2006 figures).

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA countries take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an Annex to the Community budget. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2008 is estimated at about EUR 190,2 million in commitment appropriations. The EFTA countries will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget headings concerning the contributions by the EFTA countries are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded as provisional.

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET

A. INTRODUCTION

This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 30(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities ([OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 ([OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:343:TOC)).

It provides information on the amounts of the borrowing-and-lending operations guaranteed by the general budget: loans for balance-of-payments support, borrowing operations to provide macro-financial assistance to non-member countries, Euratom borrowings to contribute to the financing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries and European Investment Bank loans in certain non-member countries.

At 31 December 2006, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 16 198 000 000; of that total EUR 5 283 000 000 was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 10 915 000 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate applicable at 31 December 2006).

B. BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET

I. SINGLE FACILITY PROVIDING MEDIUM-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBER STATES’ BALANCES OF PAYMENTS

1. Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments ([OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:053:TOC)).

2. Description

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member States which have not adopted the euro may benefit from this Community facility. The outstanding amount of loans is limited to EUR 12 000 000 000 in principal.

3. Effect on the budget

Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated in case of default. As at 31 December 2006 the outstanding amount under this instrument was zero.

II. EURATOM BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS

Please refer to Point 6.2.7.

III. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 2007/860/EC of 10 December 2007 providing macro-financial assistance for Lebanon ([OJ L 337, 21.12.2007, p. 111](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:337:TOC)).

2. Description

A macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 50 000 000 for Lebanon was authorised by the Council on 10 December 2007.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

IV. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 97/472/EC of 22 July 1997 providing macro-financial assistance for Bulgaria ([OJ L 200, 29.7.1997, p. 61](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1997:200:TOC)).

Council Decision 1999/731/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Bulgaria ([OJ L 294, 16.11.1999, p. 27](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1999:294:TOC)).

Council Decision 1999/732/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Romania ([OJ L 294, 16.11.1999, p. 29](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1999:294:TOC)).

2. Description

On 22 July 1997 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria long-term, macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 250 000 000, to be paid in two tranches (BULGARIA III). The first tranche of EUR 125 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February 1998. The second tranche of EUR 125 000 000 was paid on 22 December 1998.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria additional macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 100 000 000 (BULGARIA IV). The loan was paid in two tranches. The first tranche of EUR 40 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 21 December 1999. The second tranche of EUR 60 000 000 was paid on 29 September 2000.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Romania macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 200 000 000 for a maximum period of 10 years (ROMANIA IV). The first tranche of EUR 100 000 000 was paid on 29 June 2000. A second tranche of EUR 50 000 000 was paid on 17 July 2003.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 ([OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:396:TOC))) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

V. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR THE BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE COUNTRIES OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES AND MONGOLIA

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 95/442/EC of 23 October 1995 providing further macro-financial assistance for the Ukraine ([OJ L 258, 28.10.1995, p. 63](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1995:258:TOC)).

Council Decision 96/242/EC of 25 March 1996 providing further macro-financial assistance for Moldova ([OJ L 80, 30.3.1996, p. 60](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1996:080:TOC)).

Council Decision 97/787/EC of 17 November 1997 providing exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia ([OJ L 322, 25.11.1997, p. 37](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1997:322:TOC)).

Council Decision 2000/244/EC of 20 March 2000 amending Decision 97/787/EC providing exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia in order to extend it to Tajikistan ([OJ L 77, 28.3.2000, p. 11](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2000:077:TOC)).

2. Description

On 23 October 1995 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a second borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine.

The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 200 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years, and will be disbursed in two tranches.

Half of the first tranche, i.e. EUR 50 000 000 of the EUR 100 000 000 planned, was paid in August 1996 and fully reimbursed on 29 August 2006. The second half was paid in December 1996 and fully reimbursed on 30 October 2006. The second tranche of EUR 100 000 000 was paid on 25 September 1997, and fully reimbursed on 25 September 2007.

On 17 November 1997 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for an exceptional borrowing-and-lending operation for Georgia and Armenia (a loan to Georgia for a maximum amount of EUR 142 000 000 in principal and a loan to Armenia for EUR 28 000 000), with a maximum duration of 15 years.

The first tranche of EUR 110 000 000 was paid to Georgia on 24 July 1998. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

The loan of EUR 28 000 000 to Armenia was paid on 30 December 1998 and completely reimbursed by December 2005.

On 15 October 1998 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a third borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine (UKRAINE III). The loan was initially for a maximum amount of EUR 150 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years. The first tranche of EUR 58 000 000 was paid on 30 July 1999. Disbursement of the balance, under Decision 2002/639/EC, of EUR 110 000 000 is no longer planned.

On 20 March 2000 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending operation for Tajikistan. The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 75 000 000 principal with a maximum duration of 15 years. A loan of EUR 60 000 000 was paid in 2001. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

VII. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR EURATOM BORROWINGS TO IMPROVE THE DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 94/179/Euratom of 21 March 1994 amending Decision 77/270/Euratom to authorise the Commission to contract Euratom borrowings in order to contribute to the financing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries ([OJ L 84, 29.3.1994, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:084:TOC)).

2. Description

Pursuant to Decision 94/179/Euratom, the European Union extends the scope of Euratom borrowings to the improvement of the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The maximum amount of Euratom borrowings for the Member States and non-member countries remains fixed at EUR 4 000 000 000.

In 2000 the Commission decided on a loan for Kozloduy in Bulgaria (EUR 212 500 000) and the last instalment was in 2006. In 2000 the Commission granted a loan to K2R4 in Ukraine but reduced the loan amount to the EUR equivalent of USD 83 000 000 in 2004. In 2007 K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39 000 000 (first tranche) in 2007 under the 2004 Commission Decision. In 2004 the Commission decided on a loan for Cernavodă in Romania (EUR 223 500 000). A first instalment of EUR 100 000 000 and a second one of EUR 90 000 000 were disbursed in 2005 and the last one of EUR 33 500 000 in 2006.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 ([OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:396:TOC))) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

2. General budget guarantee

Pursuant to the terms of the abovementioned Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans to be granted by the European Investment Bank as part of the European Union's financial commitments towards the Mediterranean Basin countries.

This decision was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed by the European Economic Community and the European Investment Bank on 30 October 1978 in Brussels and 10 November 1978 in Luxembourg introducing a global guarantee of 75 % of all appropriations made available for loans in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Greece, former Yugoslavia and Lebanon.

The contract of guarantee is extended for each new Financial Protocol.

Decision 97/256/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

Decision 1999/786/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 18 April 2000 and in Luxembourg on 23 May 2000 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

Decision 2000/24/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 19 July 2000 and in Luxembourg on 24 July 2000 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

Decision 2006/1016/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Luxembourg on 1 August 2007 and in Brussels on 29 August 2007 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided in respect of EIB Financing Operations less amounts reimbursed, plus all related sum.

3. Description

Under the Financial Protocols concluded with Mediterranean Basin non-member countries, global amounts are laid down for loans to be granted by the European Investment Bank from its own funds. The European Investment Bank grants the loans for purposes which may contribute to the economic and social development of the countries in question (transport infrastructures, ports, water supply, production and distribution of energy, agricultural projects and promotion of small and medium-sized businesses).

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible six-month extension).

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

The Council decided on 29 November 1999 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600 000 000 and covered a period of three years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible six-month extension).

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 22 December 1999, on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided once again to grant the European Investment Bank the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of seven years from 1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not reached the abovementioned total values, the period has automatically been extended by six months.

On 4 December 2000 the Council decided to establish a European Investment Bank special action programme in support of the consolidation and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union. The value of those loans is limited to an overall ceiling of EUR 450 000 000.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya (eligibility to be decided by the Council), Morocco, Syria, Tunisia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the granting, in a series of cases, of interest-rate subsidies of 2 % in non-repayable aid, subject to the overall amounts laid down by the Financial Protocols. |

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 ([OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:396:TOC))) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

3. Description

In response to a call made by the Council on 9 October 1989, the Board of Governors of the European Investment Bank decided on 29 November 1989 to authorise the Bank to provide loans from its own resources to finance investment projects in Hungary and Poland for a total amount not exceeding EUR 1 000 000 000. These loans are granted to finance investment projects which satisfy the Bank's usual requirements for loans from its own resources.

On 14 May 1991 and 15 March 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of two years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided to renew for three years the European Union guarantee for EUR 3 000 000 000 in European Investment Bank loans for projects in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Albania.

The budget guarantee covers all aspects of debt-servicing (repayment of capital, interest, related costs) in connection with these loans.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The Council decided on 19 May 1998 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 150 000 000 for a period of two years beginning on 1 January 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The Council decided on 14 December 1998 to amend Decision 97/256/EC in order to extend the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank to loans for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is EUR 100 000 000 for a period of two years beginning on 22 December 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 22 December 1999 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of seven years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 7 November 2000 the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the European Investment Bank to loans for projects in Croatia.

On 6 November 2000 the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the European Investment Bank to loans for projects in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following candidate countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)) as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratorm) No 2273/2004 ([OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:396:TOC))) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

Decision 2006/1016/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Luxembourg on 1 August 2007 and in Brussels on 29 August 2007 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided in respect of EIB Financing Operations less amounts reimbursed, plus all related sum.

3. Description

In accordance with the provisions of Decision 95/207/EC, the European Union will guarantee European Investment Bank loans to South Africa up to a maximum total amount of EUR 300 000 000.

The budget guarantee covers all the debt-servicing (repayment of principal, interest and ancillary costs) in connection with these loans.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 375 000 000 is for the Republic of South Africa. It covered a period of three years beginning on 1 July 1997 (with a possible six-month extension).

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 22 December 1999 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. It covers a period beginning on 1 July 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

Decision 2005/47/EC was the basis for a restated and amended contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 30 August 2005 and in Luxembourg on 2 September 2005 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 89/2007 ([OJ L 22, 31.1.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:022:TOC)), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | one annual payment to or rather exceptionally from the Fund of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. |

Technical notes on Tables

Exchange rate: the amounts in column 2 ‘Equivalent at date of signature’ are converted at the rate applicable on the date of signature. As regards refinancing operations, Table 1 shows both the initial operation (e.g. in 1979) and the replacement operation (e.g. in 1986), the amount for the latter being converted at the rate of the initial operation. The resulting duplication affects the annual figures but is eliminated in the total.

All other amounts are converted at the rate applicable at 31 December 2007.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2007
’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2007 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2007
’: these are net figures, with no duplication as a result of refinancing operations. They are obtained by subtracting from the column 3 figure the cumulative total of repayments made up to 31 December 2007, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).
