Annex ANNEXBIII — European
Economic Area

Under the agreement establishing the
European Economic Area the EFTA States (with the exception of Switzerland) take
part in a wide range of Union policies covered by subheadings 1a, 3a and
3b, and headings 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 State by the gross domestic product at market prices of all the
Member States plus that of the EFTA State concerned.

For 2013 the proportionality factor is
estimated at 2,80 % (on the basis of 2011 figures).

These financial contributions will not be
formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in
which the EFTA States 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 general budget of the Union. The total EFTA contribution for the
operational part for 2013 is estimated at about EUR 367 535 579 in
commitment appropriations. The EFTA States 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 States are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded
as provisional.

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).

4.2.1.2.
Annex BII-B I 2 — 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 facility. The outstanding amount of
loans is limited to EUR 12 000 000 000 in principal.

On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to
extend the facility to EUR 25 000 000 000.

On 4 November 2008, the Council decided to
provide a Community medium-term financial assistance for Hungary in the form of
a medium-term loan of a principal of up to
EUR 6 500 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 5
years.

On 20 January 2009, the Council decided to
provide a Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia in the form of
a medium-term loan of a principal of up to
EUR 3 100 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 7

On 18 May 2009, the Council decided to
extend the facility to EUR 50 000 000 000.

4.2.1.3.
Annex BII-B I 3 — 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 2010 the outstanding amount under this instrument was
EUR 12 050 000 000.

Functioning of the European Union.

of 11 October 2011 amending Implementing Decision 2011/344/EU on granting Union
financial assistance to Portugal (OJ L 269 of 14.10.2011, p.32).

4.2.2.2.
Annex BII-B II 2 — 2. Description

Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union provides for the possibility of the Union
granting financial assistance to a Member State which is in difficulties or is
seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused, inter alia, by
exceptional occurrences beyond its control.

The guarantee provided by the Union is for
borrowings raised on the capital markets or from financial institutions.

In accordance with Article 2(2) of Council
Regulation (EU) No 407/2010, the outstanding amount of loans and credit lines
granted to Member States under the European financial stabilisation mechanism
shall be limited to the margin available under the Union's own resources for
payment appropriations.

This item constitutes the structure for the
guarantee provided by the Union. It will enable the Commission to service the
debt should debtors default.

In order to honour its obligations, the
Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally.
Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000
implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European
Communities own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1) shall apply.

On 7 December 2010, the Union decided to
make available to Ireland a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR
22 500 000 000, with a maximum average maturity of 7,5 years (OJ
L 30, 4.2.2011, p. 34).

On 30 May 2011, the Union decided to make
available to Portugal a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR
26 000 000 000 (OJ L 159, 17.6.2011, p. 88).

On 11 October 2011, the Council decided to
amend Implementing Decisions 2011/77/EU and 2011/344/EU by extending the
maturities and applying the reduction of the interest rate margin to all the
tranches that have already been disbursed (OJ L 269 of 14.10.2011, p.31 regarding
Ireland (2011/682/EU) and p.32 for Portugal (2011/683/EU)).

At 31 October 2011 the outstanding amount
under this instrument was EUR 28 000 000 000 (Ireland : EUR
13 900 000 000 and Portugal 14 100 000 000).

4.2.2.3.
Annex BII-B II 3 — 3. Effect on
the budget

On the expenditure side, the budget is
affected if the guarantee is activated in the event of default.

On the revenue side, the provision on the
interest income resulting from the interest differential between the loan and
borrowing transactions paid by the beneficiary - initially made in the Council
Decisions applying to each beneficiary country individually in Article 1(5) of
those Decisions - has been repealed by Council Decisions of 11 October 2011.

4.2.3.
Annex BII-B III — III. EUROPEAN
UNION GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE UNION TO PROVIDE
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN THIRD COUNTRIES
4.2.3.1.
Annex BII-B III 1 — 1. Legal
basis

Council Decision 2007/860/EC of
10 December 2007 providing macro-financial assistance to Lebanon
(OJ L 337, 21.12.2007, p. 111).

4.2.3.2.
Annex BII-B III 2 — 2.
Description

On 10 December 2007, the Council
decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending
operation for Lebanon in the form of a long-term loan for a maximum amount of
EUR 50 000 000 in principal for a maximum duration of 10 years.
The first tranche of EUR 25 000 000 was disbursed in 2009.

4.2.3.3.
Annex BII-B III 3 — 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), any defaults are
covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect
on the budget is thus limited to:

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 extension of six months).

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

On 29 November 1999, the Council
decided 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 extension of 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 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on
the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting the European
Parliament, 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 Decision 2000/24/EC 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
Decision 2006/1016/EC 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 %.

Decision 2006/1016/EC has been replaced by
Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Decision No 1080/2011/EU, which entered
into force on 30 October 2011, increased the aggregate amount of credits
disbursed and guarantees provided under EIB Financing Operations from EUR 25 800 000 000
to EUR 29 484 000 000 (EUR 2 000 000 000 for
financing of climate change operations and EUR 1 684 000 000 for
enhancing EIB risk operations).

Annex BII-B VIII 4 — 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), 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)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget
and no longer by the Fund.

Decision No 1080/2011/EU, which entered
into force on 30 October 2011, increased the aggregate amount of credits
disbursed and guarantees provided under EIB Financing Operations from EUR
25 800 000 000 to EUR 29 484 000 000 (EUR
2 000 000 000 for financing of climate change operations and EUR

Annex BII-B IX 3 — 3. Description

In response to a call made by the Council

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 the
European 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 2 years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993, the Council,

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.

proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament,
decided 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

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

decided 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 Decision
2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The
guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations

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.

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a
proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament,
decided 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 6-month extension).

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

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on

related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all
countries under Decision 2000/24/EC 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

overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended
by 6 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 %

Annex BII-D I — 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 2011.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up
to 31 December 2011’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows
the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2011 under loans
signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some
duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December
2011’: 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 2011, including
repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the
tables).

Column 7 = column 4 - column 5.

MFA 2011: following the Loan Agreement
signed by Montenegro on 9 February 2010 pursuant to Council Decision
2008/784/EC of 2 October 2008 establishing a separate liability of Montenegro,
the loans initially granted to Serbia and Montenegro have been re-initiated
with a virtual starting date in 2001in order to implement the splitting of the
countries, which explains the different amounts between loans granted and loans
raised, since the contract with the lending bank was unchanged.

Remarks

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 the Union
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.

was convened, in accordance with Article 314 §4(c) of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

The Conciliation Committee worked over a
period of twenty-one days, between 24 October and 13 November 2012. However, it
was not possible to reconcile the positions of the European Parliament and
Council within the time period allowed, also due to a difference of opinion
between the European Parliament and the Council as to how to conduct the
negotiations on the 2013 budget, in connection with the outstanding
payment needs for 2012. This prevented reaching an agreement on the
2013 budget, as well as on Draft Amending Budget No 6/2012[5].

In the absence of agreement in the
Conciliation Committee, the Commission now submits a new Draft Budget 2013, in
accordance with Article 314 §8 of the TFEU. While reflecting the estimated
needs of the European Union for 2013, the Commission is seeking to reconcile
the positions of the two arms of the Budgetary Authority in this proposal for a
new Draft Budget, without recourse to a further period of Conciliation. The
consequences of non-agreement on the budget would be the recourse to
provisional twelfths in 2013, with detrimental effects on the implementation of
key policies and programmes, and would send a damaging message to the citizens
of Europe at a time of economic uncertainty.

With this imperative of reaching a timely
adoption of the 2013 budget, the Commission proposal for a new Draft Budget for
2013 reflects, for commitment appropriations, the elements of compromise on
budget 2013 that were circulated at the Conciliation Committee, which to a
large extent restored the original Commission’s Draft Budget, leaving
unallocated margins under the expenditure ceilings of each heading. For payment
appropriations, the new Draft Budget is based on the Commission’s original
Draft Budget, as amended by Amending Letter No 1/2013[6], since this continues to correspond to the
best estimate of the payment needs for 2013, assuming that the payment needs
for 2012 to be paid this year will be covered by the 2012 budget.

(1)    Budget 2012 includes amending budgets 1 to 5 and draft amending budget 6. (2)    The margin for heading 1a does not take into account the appropriations related to the European Globalisation adjustment Fund (EUR 500 million). (3)    The margin for heading 4 does not take into account the appropriations related to the Emergency Aid Reserve (EUR 264,1 million). (4)    For calculating the margin under the ceiling for heading 5, account is taken of the footnote (1) of the financial framework 2007-2013 for an amount of EUR 86 million for the staff contributions to the pensions scheme. (5)    The global margin for the commitments does not take into account the appropriations related to the European Globalisation adjustment Fund (EUR 500 million), the Emergency Aid Reserve (EUR 264,1 million) and to the staff contributions to the pensions scheme. (6)    The global margin for the payments does not take into account the appropriations related to the Emergency Aid Reserve (EUR 110 million) and to the staff contributions to the pensions scheme (EUR 86 million).

In terms of commitment appropriations, the total
expenditure proposed in the new Draft Budget (DB) 2013 is
EUR 151 058,6 million, corresponding to 1,13 % of GNI[8], that is EUR 2 621,6 million
more than in 2012 (+ 1,8 %), and leaves a combined total margin of
EUR 2 293,5 million under the various ceilings of the MFF.

For payment appropriations, the total amounts to
EUR 137 797,6 million, corresponding to 1,03 % of GNI. This
is a decrease of EUR 955,2 million compared to payment appropriations
in the 2012 budget (- 0,7 %), when including Draft Amending Budget
No 6/2012, and leaves a margin of EUR 6 309,4 million under
the ceiling of the MFF.

Commitment appropriations for Competitiveness for Growth and
Employment (heading 1a) are set at
EUR 16 105,0 million, which is an increase of 4,6 %
compared to the 2012 budget. This leaves a margin of EUR 18,0 million[9]. Payment appropriations increase by
12,0 %, when including Draft Amending Budget No 6/2012, to
EUR 13 558,5 million. This significant increase is in part due
to additional payment needs to cover pre-financing payments for the growing
level of commitment appropriations for research, and in part to cover
intermediate and final payments on outstanding commitments.

For Cohesion for Growth and Employment (heading 1b)
commitment appropriations increase by 3,3 % to EUR 54 508,6 million,
leaving a margin of EUR 15,4 million. Payment appropriations decrease
by 4,0 %, when including Draft Amending Budget No 6/2012, to
EUR 48 977,3 million. As regards the decrease in payment
appropriations as compared to 2012, it is noted that the high level of
implementation for the closure of the 2000-2006 programmes in 2012 (amounting
to EUR 4 249 million) will lead to a significant reduction of payment needs for
programme closure in 2013 (EUR 1 923 million). The sustained high level of
payments for heading 1b shows the momentum of the 2007-2013 Cohesion policy on
the ground, with the expected positive impact on investments, economic growth
and job creation in the EU.

Commitment appropriations of EUR 60 249,0 million are
proposed for Preservation and Management of Natural Resources
(heading 2). This level of funding represents an increase of
0,7 % compared to 2012 and leaves a margin of
EUR 1 040,0 million under the ceiling of heading 2. Payment
appropriations amount to EUR 57 899,9 million, which is a
decrease of 0,4 % compared to 2012, when including Draft Amending Budget
No 6/2012. Within this heading the amount foreseen for market related
expenditure and direct aids reaches EUR 44 056,5 million in
commitment appropriations, and EUR 44 039,1 million in payment
appropriations.

Freedom, Security and Justice (heading 3a) sees an increase in commitment appropriations of 2,3 %, rising
to EUR 1 398,7 million, and leaving a margin of
EUR 262,3 million. Payment appropriations increase by 9,7 % to
EUR 927,6 million, mostly due to the four Funds under Solidarity and
management of migration flows, which have now reached cruising speed and
require substantial pre-financing payments to Member States.

For Citizenship (heading 3b), commitment appropriations
decrease by 49,0 % to EUR 707,2 million, leaving a margin of
EUR 7,8 million. Payment appropriations for this heading decrease by
50,9 % to EUR 655,8 million. If the EU Solidarity Fund
(EUR 688,3 million for commitment and payment appropriations in 2012)
is excluded from this comparison, commitment and payment appropriations
increase by 1,4 % and 1,1 % respectively. The annual ceiling for this
heading, which supports various actions close to European citizens, remains
broadly stable in the current financial framework.

Heading 4, the EU as a Global Player sees an increase in commitment appropriations of 1,9 % to
EUR 9 583,1 million, leaving an unallocated margin of
EUR 276,0 million available under the ceiling[10]. Payment appropriations on the other hand
increase by 3,6 % to EUR 7 271,9 million, mostly due to
increases under IPA, ENPI, Humanitarian aid and CFSP, at a time when many
instruments are reaching cruising speed.

Finally, both commitment and payment appropriations for Administrative
expenditure (heading 5) for all Institutions combined increase by
2,7 %, with commitments set at EUR 8 506,9 million and
payments at EUR 8 506,5 million. This increase includes
additional administrative expenditure related to Croatia’s accession, which is
included as from the beginning of 2013, so as to allow recruitments in due
time. The remaining margin amounts to EUR 674,1 million[11].

When excluding pensions and European schools (both of which concern
inter-institutional expenditure), the increase in the Commission’s administrative
expenditure has been limited to 1,5 % (including Croatia’s accession) i.e. well below expected inflation (+ 1,9 %). The overall increase of
administrative appropriations for the other Institutions is 2,2 %
(including Croatia), with most Institutions having an increase including Croatia below expected inflation.

For pensions, the requested 6,8 % increase results from the
annual adjustments and the growth (by around 20 %) in the number of staff
expected to retire in 2013. The increase in the appropriations for European
schools (6,8 %) corresponds to the amounts adopted by the budget committee
of the European schools, which mainly results from the opening of two new
schools in Brussels and Luxembourg.

3.
Key Elements of the New Draft Budget Proposal

As mentioned in the introduction, the Commission is
seeking to reconcile the positions of the two arms of the Budgetary Authority
in this proposal for a new Draft Budget without recourse to a further period of
Conciliation. With this aim in mind, this new Draft Budget for 2013 integrates,
for commitment appropriations, elements of compromise on budget 2013 as
presented to the Conciliation Committee, which to a large extent restore the
Commission’s original Draft Budget. For payment appropriations the new Draft
Budget continues to be based on the Commission’s original Draft Budget as
amended by Amending Letter No 1/2013, which corresponds to the best
estimate of the payment needs for 2013, assuming that the payment needs for
2012 are covered by the 2012 budget.

The details of the changes proposed to the original Draft Budget, as
modified by Amending Letter No 1/2013, are outlined hereafter.

3.1.
Expenditure Headings of the Financial Framework

In terms of commitment appropriations, the new Draft Budget
integrates elements of compromise presented to the Conciliation Committee, both
for major spending programmes and for administrative (support) expenditure, as
well as for so-called ‘closed’ lines and more horizontal issues which are
detailed in section 3.2 below, as follows:

3.1.1.
‘Closed’ lines

Unless stated otherwise
below, all budget lines not amended by either Council or Parliament, and those
for which Parliament accepted Council’s amendments during their respective
reading are confirmed.

3.1.2.
Heading 1a — Competitiveness for
Growth and Employment

For heading 1a, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed by the Commission in the original Draft Budget, with amendments to
programmes and actions which are presented in the table below:

As a consequence, and after taking into account pilot projects and
preparatory actions as set out in section 3.2.3 below, the margin under the
expenditure ceiling of heading 1a amounts to EUR 18,0 million.

3.1.3.
Heading 1b — Cohesion for Growth and
Employment

For heading 1b, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed in the original Draft Budget, with the exception of budget line
‘13 03 31 ¾ Technical assistance and dissemination of information on
the EU strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and an improved knowledge of macro-regions
strategy’, for which an amount of EUR 2,5 million in commitments
is proposed.

As a consequence, taking into account pilot projects and preparatory
actions, the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 1b amounts to
EUR 15,4 million.

3.1.4.
Heading 2 — Preservation and
Management of Natural Resources

For heading 2, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed by the Commission in the original Draft Budget, as amended by Amending
Letter No 1/2013, with the exception of the ‘accounting clearance of
accounts’ item (05 07 01 06), for which the reading of the
European Parliament is reflected.

As a consequence, and after taking into account pilot projects and
preparatory actions, the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 2
amounts to EUR 1 040,0 million.

3.1.5.
Heading 3a — Freedom, Security and
Justice

For heading 3a, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed by the Commission in the original Draft Budget.

As a consequence, and after taking into account pilot projects and
preparatory actions, the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 3a
amounts to EUR 262,3 million.

3.1.6.
Heading 3b — Citizenship

For heading 3b, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed by the European Parliament.

As a consequence, and after taking into account pilot projects and
preparatory actions, the margin under the expenditure ceiling of
heading 3b amounts to EUR 7,8 million.

3.1.7.
Heading 4 — EU as a Global Player

For heading 4, commitment appropriations are set at the level
proposed by the European Parliament.

As a consequence, and after taking into account pilot projects and
preparatory actions, the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 4
amounts to EUR 276,0 million.

3.1.8.
Heading 5 — Administration

For heading 5, the position of the European Parliament is
proposed for the level of appropriations of all Institutions. The
appropriations related to the 2011 salary adjustment are placed in the reserve.
As a consequence, taking into account pilot projects and preparatory actions,
the margin under the expenditure ceiling of heading 5 amounts to
EUR 674,1 million.

As far as establishment plan posts of the Institutions are
concerned, the position of the Council is proposed for the Council, the
Commission and the Economic and Social Committee. For the other Institutions,
the position of the European Parliament is proposed.

3.2.
Horizontal Issues
3.2.1.
Decentralised agencies

For decentralised agencies, the EU contribution (in commitment
appropriations and in payment appropriations) and the number of posts are set
at the level proposed by the Commission in the original Draft Budget.

However, as compared to the original Draft Budget, an increase of 6
establishment plan posts (1 AD10 and 5 AD7) is proposed for the ‘European
Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders’
(FRONTEX); this increase is budgetary neutral.

3.2.2.
Executive agencies

For executive agencies, the EU contribution (in commitment
appropriations and in payment appropriations) and the number of posts are set
at the level proposed in the original Draft Budget.

3.2.3.
Pilot Projects and Preparatory Actions

The new Draft Budget includes 55 pilot projects and preparatory
actions proposed by the European Parliament and the Commission, for an amount
of EUR 72,1 million in commitment appropriations, reflecting the
reading of the European Parliament.

When a pilot project or a preparatory action appears to be covered
by an existing legal base, the Commission may implement the action concerned
under the relevant legal base and propose the transfer of appropriations to the
corresponding budget line in the course of the year.

3.2.4.
Budgetary remarks

As regards budgetary remarks, all textual amendments introduced by
the European Parliament or the Council are agreed with changes as set out
below. This is with the understanding that budgetary remarks cannot modify or
extend the scope of an existing legal base, or impinge on the administrative
autonomy of institutions, and that the action can be covered by available
resources.

a)
Budget item 17 04 04 01 ¾ Plant
health measures ¾ new measures

As compared to the budgetary remarks voted by the
European Parliament, ‘preventive and curative actions’ is added. In addition,
the type of threat factors is specified.

b)
Budget item 19 06 01 01 ¾ Crisis
response and preparedness (Instrument for Stability)

The budgetary remarks as voted by the European
Parliament are modified as follows (in bold): ‘the setting up of a network and
facility for mediation and dialogue services and experience sharing that
could be considered integral to the establishment of a European initiative
or Institute for Peace."

In full accordance with Article 34 of the Financial Regulation, the
finalisation and preparation of the publication of the budget in the Official
Journal will include revisions of the various references to the Financial
Regulation. This work will be done by the jurist-linguists of the European
Parliament with technical assistance of the Commission.

3.3.
General Approach on Payment Appropriations

The Commission assessment of the need for an overall increase in
payment appropriations for the financial year 2012 as proposed in Draft
Amending Budget No 6/2012 remains entirely valid, both in terms of actual
implementation to date and in light of payment claims received. As the absence
of agreement in the Conciliation Committee does not formally affect the
procedure for Draft Amending Budget No 6/2012, the proposal adopted by the
Commission on 23 October 2012 remains submitted to Parliament and Council.

The overall request for payment appropriations for 2013 is based on
the assumption that the needs for 2012 which have to be paid that year will be
covered by the 2012 budget. In connection with the assessment above, in terms
of payment appropriations for differentiated expenditure, it is proposed to
retain the overall level of payments in the original Draft Budget as modified
by Amending Letter No 1/2013. Furthermore, some payment appropriations are
added for pilot projects and preparatory actions, as set out in point c) below.
Accordingly, the overall level of payment appropriations in the new Draft
Budget amounts to EUR 137,8 billion.

The distribution of this overall amount in the new Draft Budget
across headings and budget lines closely follows the payment appropriations
established in the original Draft Budget, as amended by Amending Letter
No 1/2013, taking into account:

a)
The ‘closed’ lines as set out in point 3.1.1
above;

b)
The payment needs for non-differentiated
expenditure as set out above, in particular in points 3.1.4 and 3.1.8; and

c)
The payment needs for the package of pilot
projects and preparatory actions as set out in point 3.2.3 above, as follows:
the payment appropriations for all new pilot projects and preparatory
actions are set at 50 % of the corresponding commitments or to the
proposed level if lower; in the case of extension of existing pilot
projects and preparatory actions the level of payments is the one defined in
the draft budget plus 50 % of the corresponding new commitments, or to the
proposed level if lower.

4.
Concluding Remarks

By proposing a new 2013 Draft Budget, which combines the original
Draft Budget with elements of the draft compromise on budget 2013 as presented
to the Conciliation Committee, the Commission seeks to create the conditions
for a swift adoption of the 2013 budget, without recourse to a further period
of conciliation.

A timely adoption and entry into force of the 2013 budget will
ensure the proper implementation of policies and programmes of the European
Union. The Commission will do its utmost to achieve this goal.

Remarks

As part of the rationalisation and
simplification of the instruments for external actions for the Financial
Framework 2007-2013, the Aeneas programme, which provides for financial and
technical assistance to third countries in the areas of migration and asylum,
and was adopted on 10 March 2004 — and which followed the preparatory actions
for 2001 to 2003 and the Communication from the Commission to the Council and
the European Parliament of 3 December 2002 entitled ‘Integrating migration
issues in the European Union’s relations with third countries’ (COM(2002) 703
final) — was replaced by a thematic programme for cooperation with third
countries in these fields under the financing instrument for development
cooperation (DCI) (Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006).

The general aim of the DCI is to make the
Union’s external assistance more effective. Under this programme, the objective
of the thematic programme on cooperation with third countries in the areas of
migration and asylum is to support third countries in their efforts to ensure
better management of migratory flows in all their dimensions. Appropriations
are used to provide, in a specific and complementary way, technical and
financial assistance for third countries to support them in these efforts.

The Union programme for the cooperation
with third countries and regions of origin and transit has the objective of
fostering the links between migration and development, as well as to mitigate
the brain drain from south to north in the process, to promote well-managed
labour migration, to fight illegal migration, to fight smuggling and the trafficking
of human beings and facilitate re-admission, to protect migrants and to help
third countries to improve their capacities to fulfil their international
obligations in the field of asylum and migration.

This Union cooperation programme will
finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and
regional Union cooperation and development strategies regarding the third
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 Union
instruments in the field of cooperation and development.

This thematic programme will, in the
context of its new strategy, also take into account migration that results from
climate change. The respect of democratic principles and the rule of law, as
well as of human 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 aimed at
strengthening democracy and the rule of law and compliance with international
instruments in this field, including the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the
status of 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 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.

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 Union and managed by the
Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise
to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article
6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under
Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line
for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution
agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 %
of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Appropriations under this article are
subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No
1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and
chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations
shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these
appropriations.

replenishment of the equipment, other services (procurement, reception and
inspection, freight forwarding with export-import administration and insurance
provision, preparation of equipment for shipping).

audits of common foreign and security policy measures and the financing of any
expenditure on the regularisation of previously closed measures.

Remarks

The general objective will be to contribute
to the development and consolidation of democracy and respect for human rights,
in accordance with Union policies and guidelines and in close cooperation with
civil society.

Key areas of
activity will include:

—
enhancing respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms in countries and regions where they are most at risk, as
well as promoting the rule of law,

—
strengthening the role of civil society in
promoting human rights and democratic reform, while ensuring the protection of
human rights defenders and defenders of freedom of speech and freedom of the
press, in supporting the peaceful conciliation of group interests and in
consolidating political participation and representation,

—
supporting actions on human rights and democracy
issues in areas covered by Union guidelines, including on human rights
dialogues, on human rights defenders, on the death penalty, on torture,
including forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation
and on childhood and armed conflicts,

—
strengthening the international framework for
the protection of human rights, the rule of law and the promotion of democracy,
in particular international criminal justice mechanisms and core legal
instruments, with part of this support being provided to give legal advice and
investigate the murders of human rights defenders and defenders of freedom of
speech.

In order to ensure full financial
transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the
Commission, when entering into joint management with international
organisations, will — upon request — undertake to make available to its
Internal Auditor as well as to the European Court of Auditors all internal and
external audits which concern the use of Union funds.

Part of this appropriation will be devoted
to the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation,
providing a European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation and an
EU-UN Fellowship Programme, beyond the expiry by the end of 2006 of 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).

Part of this appropriation will be devoted
to fund independent initiatives promoting Internet freedom, including the
development of circumvention technologies and software to distribute to
(online) human rights defenders with the goal of protecting themselves; to fund
training for human rights defenders about technologies and human rights, and to
organise regular and systematic contacts between Union politicians, the
business community and civil society members to share knowledge and discuss
policy plans related to technologies and human rights.

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 Union and managed by the Commission
on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article
6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under
Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line
for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution
agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 %
of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

This appropriation is also intended to
finance support for non-governmental organisations and human rights defenders
working in the North Caucasus.

It is also intended to support
organisations which, like the Club of Madrid, actively engage in fostering
democratic leadership and values through high-level dialogue and peer-to-peer
counsel with leaders in countries undergoing reform and transition towards
democracy, as well as by addressing issues of global concern from a democratic
perspective.

Part of this appropriation will be used for
reinforced support for neighbouring countries that are members of the Council
of Europe to meet Council of Europe standards on democracy and the rule of law,
including support on strengthening the organisation of free and fair elections.

Part of this appropriation will be used to
assist neighbouring countries that are members of the Council of Europe to
abide by and adjust their legal and judicial systems in line with rulings of
the European Court of Human Rights.

Part of this
appropriation is intended to finance a European Union Global Internet Freedom
Fund which would aim:

—
to foster recognition that new communication
technologies are used to advance tolerance and freedom of expression but can
also be instrumental in repression or violence. To highlight that Internet
freedom is a major force in international affairs and should become an integral
and mainstreamed part of the Union’s foreign and security, trade and other
relevant policy areas,

—
to fund successful independent initiatives which
develop circumvention technologies and software to distribute to human rights
defenders with the goal of protecting themselves,

—
to fund training for human rights defenders on
technologies and human rights,

—
to organise regular and systematic contacts
between Union politicians, the business community and civil society members to
share knowledge and discuss policy plans related to technologies and human
rights.

Cooperation with industrialised and other
high-income countries and territories is aimed at engaging with partners which
share similar political, economic and institutional structures and values to

education and training programmes and intellectual exchanges and the
enhancement of mutual understanding between cultures and civilisations,

such as research, science and technology, energy, transport and environmental
matters — including climate change, customs and financial issues and any other
matter of mutual interest between the Union and the partner countries,

the enhancement of awareness about and
understanding of the Union and of its visibility in partner countries,

—
support for specific initiatives, including
research work, studies, pilot schemes or joint projects destined to respond in
an effective and flexible manner to cooperation objectives arising from
developments in the Union’s bilateral relationship with the partner countries
or aiming to provide impetus to the further deepening and broadening of
bilateral relationships with them.

prioritised for projects organised by European organisations aimed at enhancing
the awareness and understanding of European issues and perspectives in the
United States.

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 Union’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 Union approach to crises.

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, inter alia:

—
the setting up of a network and facility for
mediation and dialogue services and experience sharing that could be considered
integral to the establishment of a European Initiative or Institute for Peace,

—
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

Remarks

This appropriation, which is complementary
to the capacity building activities as provided for by the Peacebuilding
Partnership under the Instrument for Stability, is intended to finance a
programme of NGO-led peacebuilding activities in order to support the Union’s
commitments to prevent conflict and build peace outside its borders.

Activities to be financed under this pilot
project will include: research on and analysis of specific conflicts; support
for peace processes, mediation and dialogue; support to disarmament,
demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) processes and broader post-conflict
economic development; support to local actor participation in peace
settlements; civil society involvement in security sector reform (SSR), justice
sector reform and transitional justice processes; promotion of
conflict-sensitive development practices; international and national-level
advocacy work to encourage peacebuilding and the prevention of violent
conflict; the development and management of early warning systems; the
promotion of the role of women in peacebuilding; unarmed civilian peacekeeping;
and the deployment of professionals to sustain local actors by reducing and
preventing violence, and by supporting dialogue, sustainable peace and a
conflict-resilient society.

The pilot project could also serve as a
test case for Union support for NGO-led peacebuilding activities and could thus
lead to the eventual establishment of a permanent mechanism for short-, medium-
and long-term financing in this area.

Remarks

The Union aims to establish an area of
prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving Member States and the
neighbouring partner countries[1].
To that effect the Union 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 Union
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 Union
policy objectives.

Remarks

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.

This
appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation measures aimed
primarily at supporting the implementation of the Multi Annual Indicative
Programmes covering periods 2007-2010 and 2011-2013 of the ENP Action Plans
concluded with the Union’s Mediterranean neighbours. It will also be used to
support the implementation of the Regional Indicative Programme for 2011-2012
as well as certain measures in the framework of the Union for the Mediterranean
which was launched at the Paris summit on 13 July 2008. This will cover, inter
alia, the following areas of cooperation:

—
promoting political dialogue and reform,

—
promoting legislative and regulatory
approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner
countries in the internal market and the intensification of trade,

—
strengthening the national institutions
responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas
covered by the association agreements,

—
promoting respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms and enhanced respect for minority rights, combating
anti-semitism, promoting gender equality and non-discrimination, and promoting
good governance,

—
promoting sustainable development and
contributing to poverty reduction,

—
supporting the modernisation of the economy,
promoting investments in the region and strengthening small- and medium-sized
enterprises,

—
establishing better transport and energy
interconnections between the Union and neighbouring countries and among
neighbouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common
environment,

—
promoting actions contributing to conflict
resolution,

—
fostering the development of civil society,
inter alia, to promote social inclusion and encourage under-represented groups
to gain a voice and participate in civil society and the political system,

—
promoting people-to-people contacts and
exchanges in the field of education, research and culture,

—
contributing to the financing of the operations
of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in
Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, in particular its health, education and social
services programmes,

—
supporting regional integration within the context
of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and in particular the promotion of
regional cooperation, the creation of networks and partnerships of public and
private not-for-profit organisations with a view to exchanging knowledge and
best practices in all the relevant fields,

—
supporting actions in the field of migration,
designed inter alia to promote links between migration and development, to
combat illegal immigration and to facilitate readmission. These actions will be
supplemented by actions financed from the ENPI allocation from Article 19 02 01
01 ‘Cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum’.

—
supporting programs and campaigns aiming at the
promotion of nonviolence as appropriate method for conflict prevention, the
protection of minorities and the enhancement of free and fair societies; the
support of initiatives promoting, through nonviolent means, the respect of
legality and rule of law. The promotion of nonviolence is implemented namely by
supporting: nonviolent empowerment (disseminating best practices to populations
and training activists), and information to oppressed peoples, especially
ethnic and other minorities through radio programs.

Horizontal visibility of Union assistance
and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the
objectives of Union action in Mediterranean third countries.

The allocation of funds between beneficiary
countries and areas of cooperation should be based on the "more for
more" principle, and individual allocations should be increased or
decreased if necessary in order to reflect the level of political progress made
by partner governments.

Should there be a serious deterioration in
a given country in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental
rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Union assistance may be
scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed
at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms. With the exception of
humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs, the United Nations’ agencies
or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if
the governments are responsible for a clear worsening of the situation in the
field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and

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 Union’s eastern neighbours as well as bilateral and
multilateral actions in the framework of the Eastern Partnership. It will also
be used to support the Strategic Partnership between the Union 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:

—
promoting political dialogue and democratic
reform,

—
promoting legislative and regulatory
approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner
countries in the internal market and the intensification of trade,

—
strengthening the national institutions
responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas
covered by the association agreements for instance by twinning and technical
assistance mechanisms such as TAIEX,

—
promoting respect for human rights such as
freedom of the media and freedom of expression,

promoting good governance and the fight against
corruption,

—

supporting the transition to a market economy
and the modernisation of the economy, promoting investments in the region and
strengthening small- and medium-sized enterprises,

—
promoting sustainable development and rural
development and contributing to poverty reduction,

interconnections between the Union and neighbouring countries and among
neighbouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common
environment,

exchanges in the field of education, research and culture,

—
supporting regional cooperation, including
within the contexts of the ‘Black Sea Synergy’ and the Eastern Partnership,

—
supporting actions in the field of migration
designed, inter alia, to promote links between migration and development, to
combat illegal immigration and to facilitate readmission. These actions will be
supplemented by actions financed from allocations under Article 19 02 01
‘Cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum’.

This appropriation is also intended to fund
research on human health and the sustainable development of Ukraine and
Belarus, especially as regards improving health conditions in the regions
affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

This appropriation is also intended to
finance confidence building measures in frozen conflict areas in Georgia,
Transnistria, the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well
as local confidence-building and local economic rehabilitation projects in
Nagorno-Karabakh.

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 Union
assistance.

The allocation of funds between beneficiary
countries and areas of cooperation should be based on the "more for
more" principle, and individual allocations should be increased or
decreased if necessary in order to reflect the level of political progress made
by partner governments.

Should there be a serious deterioration in
a given country in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental
rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Union assistance may be
scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed
at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms. With the exception of
humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs, the United Nations’ agencies
or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if
the governments are responsible for a clear worsening of the situation in the
field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and
freedoms.

of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of this appropriation will be
allocated for additional support to Baltic Sea Strategy objectives. The

come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical
assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector
enterprises.

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

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the Union’s
external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy
and in the Union’s Strategic Partnership with Russia, as well as within the
Black Sea Synergy. 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,
cross-border cooperation programmes established on the Union’s external border
will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the general
budget of the Union and be implemented in accordance with a single set of
rules, namely those established under Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 laying down general
provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (OJ
L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 1). 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 Union does not want to
establish new dividing lines and they will also strengthen the partnership
among border regions of the Union and neighbouring countries and help them to
deal with common development problems. They will focus on the following five
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,

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

—
fostering the development of civil society,
inter alia, to promote social inclusion.

Appropriations under this article will also
be used for actions aimed at improving the level and capacity of implementation
as well as for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential
beneficiaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Union
assistance.

The allocation of funds between beneficiary
countries and areas of cooperation should be based on the "more for
more" principle, and individual allocations should be increased or
decreased if necessary in order to reflect the level of political progress made
by partner governments.

Should there be a serious deterioration in
a given country in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental
rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Union assistance may be
scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed
at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms. With the exception of
humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs, the United Nations’ agencies
or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if
the governments are responsible for a clear worsening of the situation in the
field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and
freedoms.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation
under this heading is primarily its contribution to support the promotion of
democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of law,
and fostering sustainable development and economic integration, as well as to
achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

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) (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 Union
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 the end of 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 Union’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, in the context of the
geographical cooperation under the DCI, 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.

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

—
promote social cohesion, combat poverty and

agreements incorporating respect for labour, environmental, social and human
rights standards,

—
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 persons with disabilities and older persons,

Part of this appropriation is intended to
be used to fund international programmes in favour of gender equality and the
empowerment of women, including through the framework of UN WOMEN.

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.

This appropriation also covers
capacity-building actions to assist agricultural producers in developing
countries to meet Union sanitary and phytosanitary standards necessary for
access to the Union market.

Where assistance is delivered via budget
support, the Commission shall support efforts of partner countries to develop
parliamentary oversight and audit capacities and transparency in line with
Article 25(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. Part of this appropriation is
intended to support, amongst others, initiatives such as the EU-ALC Foundation
(decided at the summit of EU-ALC Heads of States and Governments) and the
Biarritz Forum.

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 Union and managed by the
Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise
to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article
6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article
18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for
administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution
agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 %
of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

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, must be added to the
appropriations entered in this item. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Appropriations under this article are
subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No
1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and
chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations
shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these
appropriations.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, and
implementation aid by NGOs or by the United Nations’ agencies or by impartial
operators, 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
cooperation measures for middle income countries and other developing countries
in Latin America.

This appropriation is intended to finance
cooperation measures which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development
Assistance (ODA) as established by the Development Assistance Committee of the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) and which
therefore fall outside the scope 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)
(Article 2(4)), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of
developing independently, the result being that the investment from the general
budget of the Union makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Latin
American countries.

This appropriation is also intended to
support the Afghanistan national drug control strategy, including halting the
production of opium in Afghanistan, and the disruption and destruction of the
opium networks and illegal export routes to European countries.

public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain
external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the
Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise

It is also intended to cover education for
children affected by war or natural disasters.

These measures may be financed jointly with

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
Union operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process. It
is supplemented by expenditure from other chapters and articles, to which
different procedures apply.

The Commission will monitor compliance with
the conditions for the Union contribution to this process, notably full

informed on its findings and conclusions.

This appropriation is intended to support
basic social services and economic development in Afghanistan.

This appropriation is also intended to

production of opium in Afghanistan, and the disruption and destruction of the
opium networks and illegal export routes to European countries.

A relevant part of this appropriation must be
exclusively devoted to fund the start up of the five-year plan for phasing out

by the European Parliament in its report ‘A new strategy for Afghanistan’
approved on 16 December 2010.

This appropriation is also intended to

Tokyo Conference in January 2002.

This appropriation is also intended to
finance activities of women’s organisations which have worked for a long time
for Afghan women’s rights.

The Union should increase its financial
assistance in Afghanistan for areas such as health (construction and renovation
of hospitals, prevention of child mortality) and small and medium-sized
infrastructure projects (repairing of road network, embankments, etc.), as well
as effectively implementing job security and food security schemes.

Part of this appropriation is intended to
be used for mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and

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 Union and managed by the
Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise
to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article

This appropriation is intended to cover
cooperation measures, in middle income countries and other developing countries
in Asia, which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance
(ODA) as established by the Development Assistance Committee of the

establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378,
27.12.2006, p. 41), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable
of developing independently, the result being that the investment from the
general budget of the Union makes no contribution towards combating poverty in
Asian countries.

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

—
addressing the weak public perception of
external assistance. The objective is to make clear that external assistance is
an integral part of what the Union does and is one of the crucial policies that
define the Union and its role in the world, and to raise awareness of the fact
that the Union is delivering tangible results on behalf of Union citizens to
fight poverty and to provide high-quality sustainable development worldwide,

—
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 entitled ‘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 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 organisation of visits for groups of
representatives of civil society.

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 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
Union 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund
multilateral programmes and initiatives in the field of trade-related
assistance to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate
effectively in the multilateral trading system and regional trading
arrangements and to improve their trade performance.

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.

Research to advise policymakers how best to
ensure that the specific interests of small producers and workers in developing
countries are reflected across all policy areas and promote an enabling
environment for producers’ access to trade-related sustainability assurance
schemes.

This assistance is primarily targeted at
the public sector.

Trade development

Actions to reduce supply-side constraints
which impact directly on the ability of developing countries to exploit their
international trading potential, including, in particular, private-sector
development.

This appropriation complement the Union’s
geographical programmes and should only cover multilateral initiatives and
programmes that offer real added value to the Union’s geographical programmes,
in particular the Integrated Framework for Least Developed Countries.

The Commission will provide a bi-annual
report on implementation and results obtained and on the main outcomes and
effects of aid for trade assistance. The Commission will provide information on
a total figure for all aid for trade finance coming from within the general
budget of the Union, and a total figure for aid for trade from within all
‘trade-related assistance’ provided.

Remarks

Union assistance should not be given to any
authority, organisation or programme which supports or participates in the
management of an action which involves such human rights abuses as coercive
abortion, involuntary sterilisation or infanticide, especially where such
actions apply their priorities though psychological, social, economic or legal
pressure, thus finally implementing the specific Cairo International Conference
on Population and Development (ICPD) prohibition on coercion or compulsion in
sexual and reproductive health matters. The Commission should present a report
on the implementation of the Union’s external assistance covering this
programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support a
rapid and direct response to the increased food prices in developing countries,
addressing the period between emergency aid and medium- to long-term
development cooperation. The primary objectives of the assistance and
cooperation shall be to encourage a positive supply response of the
agricultural sector in targeted countries and regions, to support activities to
respond rapidly and to mitigate directly the negative effects of high food
prices in line with global food security objectives and to strengthen the
productive capacities and the governance of the agricultural sector to enhance
the sustainability of interventions.

Taking into
account the specific country-level conditions, the eligible support measures
are:

—
measures to improve access to agricultural
inputs and services, including fertilisers and seeds, paying special attention
to local facilities and availability,

—
safety net measures aiming at maintaining or improving
the agricultural productive capacity, and at addressing the basic food needs of
the most vulnerable populations, including children,

—
other small-scale measures aiming at increasing
production based on country needs: microcredit, investment, equipment,
infrastructure and storage; developing and strengthening associations and
cooperatives so that they can build institutional and productive capacities;
support for marginalised producers in developing countries so that they have
access to prefinancing to help fund inputs and grants to work towards
compliance with standards and regulations; as well as vocational training and
support to professional groups in the agricultural sector.

The assistance shall benefit developing
countries and their populations. Resources are concentrated on a limited list
of 50 high-priority target countries.

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to
facilitate access to smallholder farmers to financial resources which should be
used to stimulate agricultural production in developing countries. These
appropriations should be channelled through organisations specialised in
microfinance, including local banks and associations, which conform to
recognised international standards of transparency, accountability and
financial probity.

Taking into account the worldwide economic
crisis, microfinance is needed more than ever before. The Union should take
responsibility and attach importance to facilitating microfinance in developing
countries.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund the
establishment of an East-African regional network of Millennium Development
Goal 5 organisations, bringing together existing national CSO platforms of
advocacy and service-delivery organisations from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda,
Rwanda and Burundi — all countries with some of the worst maternal and
reproductive health indicators worldwide. This Millennium Development Goal 5
network will aim at providing an informal forum for the exchange of ideas,
information and experience in the field of maternal and reproductive health and
at providing opportunities for member organisations to explore possibilities
for multi-country collaboration and cooperation to highlight the urgent need
for increased political and financial attention on Millennium Development Goal
5.

Activities carried out under this project
include the establishment of a network secretariat in one of the member
organisations, the establishment of virtual platform to disseminate and share
information and best practices as well as the organisation of regional events
with the aim of improving maternal and reproductive health outcomes in the
region.

Remarks

Two fundamental issues the people and
countries in the Horn of Africa suffer from are 1) the absence of participatory
government and stability and 2) the absence of democracy/ democratic processes
and genuine peoples’ participation. Both are based on a fundamental and lasting
crisis in governance in all countries of the Horn. In fact the impact of this
crisis is felt in the whole of North-East Africa and as well as in Europe.
Unless these are addressed by the EU and others with a comprehensive
perspective, there is no hope for sustainable livelihoods, economic growth and
a peaceful and stable region. An Arab Spring scenario in this region, without a
long term vision and long term investment from the international community to
underpin it, will lead to nowhere.

 The proposed pilot will address these
issues via a two pronged strategy that builds on each other. Both are essential
in order to develop long term, credible alternatives to the Horn military
dictatorial regimes:

 1) Ensure sufficient space for civil
society, coupled with strategic investment in genuine civil society actors.
Civil society in the Horn of Africa and its diaspora in Africa faces increasing
challenges in terms of operational space and human rights abuses. Government
policy in the countries in the Horn is (increasingly) based on distrust and
focused on control and containment rather than support or facilitation of civil
society. Authorities in the Horn view civil society as a threat, if not
straight opposition, and do not allow their policies be complemented, let alone
challenged by civil society. However civil society plays a key part in
democratic systems and processes. The tightening environment for civil society
therefore needs to be challenged at country and regional level to allow civil
society to be part of democratic processes. Civil society actors themselves
need to be strengthened to effectively deal with this increasingly difficult
operational environment as well as deal with future democratic processes.

 2) Strengthen youth and youth movements in
the Horn of Africa with a view to effectively prepare them for future
democratic changes. Youth, both in the Horn and in the diaspora in Africa, are
the future for their countries but lack skills and knowledge, as well as life
experience in a peaceful and democratic environment. They also lack the means
to develop these skills and their governments hardly invest in youth. They are
often housed in refugee camps. The displacement and often unclear legal status
make learning opportunities pass them by. For future leadership and government
cadre and genuine democratic processes, external investment in the Horn’s youth
is essential. An investment in their skills, tapping effectively into
enthousiasm, dreams and hopes for the future is more strategic than investing
in changing the current establishment.

 This pilot invests in the following
countries: Sudan and South Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia (Somaliland,
Puntland) and Djibouti. The pilot invests at country as well as (sub-)regional
level but assumes that a regional approach takes primacy.

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 Union’s relations
with developing countries and with Europe’s neighbours.

Financial support is provided to actions in
five priority areas: (1) working upstream on Millennium Development Goal 7:
promoting environmental sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of Union
initiatives and helping developing countries to meet internationally agreed
commitments, such as the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development
(Rio+20) and the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 11
Hyderabad); (3) improving expertise for integration and coherence; (4)
strengthening environmental governance and Union leadership; and (5) supporting
sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions.

Part of this appropriation is to be used
for the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and
national strategies of disaster-prone countries.

Support for sustainable energy options in
partner countries and regions also includes appropriations to cover the Union
contribution to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund
(GEEREF). The objective of GEEREF is to mobilise public and private finance to
help solve the financing gridlock for economic renewable energy projects and
businesses, in developing countries and in (non-Union) economies in transition.

Part of these appropriations will also be
used to support the UN initiative ‘Sustainable Energy for all’.

Support for climate change adaptation in
partner countries and regions includes a contribution to further strengthen the
implementation of the European Union’s Action Plan on Climate Change and
Development through the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA). The GCCA is
instrumental to enhance the cooperation between the Union and developing
countries on climate change, particularly in the area of adaptation towards the
impacts of climate change, which is most acute for many poor developing
countries.

This programme is intended to benefit
primarily the countries covered by the Financing instrument for development
cooperation (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No
1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the European
Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) countries under the thematic
programmes, an envelope of EUR 63 000 000 is foreseen for such
countries. This appropriation is also intended to cover the completion of
payments for actions funded under the former Article 21 02 05 ‘Environment in
Developing Countries’.

In order to ensure full financial
transparency pursuant to Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the
Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and
implementation of projects by international organisations, will make all
efforts that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits to
the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission
regarding the use of Union funds.

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 Union 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 pursuant to
Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue in
accordance with Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts
entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined
by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average
not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for
each chapter.

Where assistance is delivered via budget
support, the Commission shall support efforts of partner countries to develop
parliamentary oversight, audit capacities and transparency in line with Article
25(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. Appropriations under this article are
subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No

chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations
shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these

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 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 Union to act in a coordinated
fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions.
The Union should consider promoting energy efficiency as an instrument to
combat the consequences of climate change and also stimulate the use of
renewable energy resources in developing countries so as to make them less
energy-dependent.

Appropriations under this article are
subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No
1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006

Remarks

Overall objective

It is the aim of this initiative to
establish the basis for a solid cooperation between Europe and Africa on
research and innovation in the field of recycling and recovery of raw
materials.

Improved waste management and avoiding
environmental and health costs can help reducing the financial pressure on
African governments and improve raw materials supply. Private sector
participation can significantly reduce the costs, as well as enhance service
delivery.

This would be done through two seminars
organised in 2012 and 2013 in Europe and Africa, respectively

The specific
objectives in the field of recovery of raw materials and waste recycling
include:

—
— provide knowledge exchange at policy and
research level;

—
— provide forum for European and African
entrepreneurs and academia/research;

—
— engage the European and African Member
governments.

It is
envisaged the participants to the activities of:

—
— European Union;

—
— African Union;

—
— Industry representatives from the raw
materials and waste/recycling sectors;

—
— Academia/research representatives involved in
environmental technologies for resource efficiency and recycling.

Conclusions

EU has successfully established in the past
similar political/research infrastructures with African Countries, in a number
of fields such as research networks (e-Infrastructures). These initiatives have
ensured close links between both continents based always on mutual interest
objectives.

On this
basis, it is expected to address the following main issues:

—
— Common Policy on Waste Management - Waste (raw
materials) produced in Europe and exported to Africa should treated in an
effective and environmentally sound manner. In this context, the EU and African
Union should develop a common waste management plan for these materials.

—
— Knowledge transfer of innovative recycling
technologies - While some solutions would definitely require breakthrough
technologies, processes and services, a more urgent priority seems to be the
exploitation of existing technologies, knowledge sharing and awareness.
Research should encompass the collection, recovery and recycling of valuable
materials, including raw materials, from urban and industrial waste streams.
African countries need to cope with the waste being shipped for decades in
their land and water. European research can help solve some current waste
management issues.

Economy and jobs creation: Investing in
greening the waste sector can generate multiple economic and environmental
benefits. For example, recycling creates more jobs than it replaces, making it
one of the most important sectors in terms of employment creation. European
legislation in waste is one of the most innovative and comprehensive of the
world. Its full implementation would mean cost savings of 72 billion EUR per
year, an increase of 42 billion EUR per year in the turnover of waste
management and recycling and a creation of 400,000 new jobs.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to provide
financial support to actions in developing countries and in Europe’s
neighbouring countries under the ‘Good health for all’ component of the
thematic programme ‘Investing in people’.

Financial support is provided to actions in
four priority areas: (1) combating poverty and neglected diseases, targeting
communicable diseases and diseases that can be prevented by vaccination; (2)
improving maternal health, reproductive and sexual health in developing
countries; (3) improving equitable access to health providers, commodities and
health services; and (4) keeping a balanced approach between prevention, treatment
and care, with prevention as a key priority.

This appropriation may not be made
available to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).
Part of the appropriation will be provided for technical aid in recipient
countries. This allocation will complement the financing role of the GFATM by
ensuring that a coordinated and effective technical support mechanism is in
place, resulting in effective implementation of Global Fund appropriations.

This programme is intended to benefit
primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument
(DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006
allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit European Neighbourhood
and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) countries under the thematic programmes, an
envelope equivalent to 6 % of this programme over the period 2007-2013 is
foreseen for such countries.

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 Union 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 in
accordance with Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts
entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined
by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average
not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each
chapter. This appropriation is also intended to cover zinc supplementation and
other micronutrients for the treatment and prevention of diarrhoea and
malnutrition in developing countries.

This appropriation is intended to provide
financial support to actions in developing countries and in Europe’s
neighbouring countries under the ‘Good health for all’ component of the
thematic programme ‘Investing in people’.

In order to meet Millennium Development
Goals 4, 5 and 6, continuous support to strengthen health systems, to fight
maternal and child mortality and morbidity, and to achieve universal access to
reproductive health is urgently needed. For this reason, increased funds should
be allocated to these programmes within a continuum of prevention, care,
information and services, including family planning services in line with the rights-based
approach reflected in Programme of Action of the International Conference on
Population and Development endorsed by the Member States of the European Union.

Appropriations under this title and within
the second priority (improving reproductive and sexual health in developing
countries) should specifically finance interventions in countries with critical
indicators in maternal and reproductive health to reduce bottlenecks and
promote good practices for the achievement of Millennium Development Goal 5
(‘Improve maternal health’) by 2015 and the advancement of the full
implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, notably by supporting
capacity-building for the design and implementation of national maternal,
reproductive health and family planning strategies within health systems
strengthening.

Where assistance is delivered via budget

countries in order to help them to develop local knowledge and locally adapted
solutions to the lack of access to medicines.

A study was launched in 2009 involving a
large consultation of stakeholders on priority-setting, with particular
emphasis on the active participation and pivotal roles of developing country
scientists, decision-makers and institutions in this process.

In addition, the appropriations have been
dedicated in 2009 and 2010 to financing specific actions, such as support to
research networks and capacity building in developing countries. In all these
projects, the consultation of developing countries’ stakeholders (regional,
national and local experts, scientists and institutions) and their leading role
should be ensured.

Health

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

Under that programme, the Union 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.

Union 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.

Basic education

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.

Cultural cooperation

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 Union.

Additional contribution for the UN
Millennium Development Goals

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 Millennium Development Goal 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 Union action.

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 Millennium Development Goal 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 Union action.

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 Millennium Development Goal fast-tracking.

Decentralised cooperation

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 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 Union
programmes and in the implementation of decentralised cooperation.

Information and communication
technologies and sustainable energy

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.

Gender equality

This
appropriation is intended:

—
to implement a catalyst role in promoting gender
equality in Union 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 Union 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 (DCI) (OJ L L 378,
27.12.2006, p. 41), 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 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 Union’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, in the
context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, 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 Millennium Development Goals.
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.

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 (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41).

The programme is implemented through
Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) and Multiannual Indicative Programmes (MIPs)
under the TDCA in 2007-2013 and is financed from the general budget of the
Union.

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.

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 focuses mainly on:

—
strengthening capacity for and support to
service delivery to the poor (including health, HIV/AIDS, education, housing,
infrastructures such as water and sanitation, sustainable energy,
communication, as well as public finance management reforms at all levels of
government, capacity building and strengthened monitoring and evaluation),

—
support to sustainable growth, with a specific
view to employment generation (addressing both labour demand and supply issues,
such as skills development), notably in the field of climate change adaptation
and mitigation and, in general, in the green economy,

—
support to governance (both in the public and
non-public domains),

—
regional and Pan-African support (including
contributions to actions promoting peace and security, to intra-ACP programmes
for science and technology and academic mobility, as well as support to
regional interconnectivity through infrastructure and trade development.

Given South Africa’s environmental
challenges and the country’s role as the twelfth largest greenhouse gas emitter
in the world, development cooperation will include an increased focus on
environmental protection 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 Union 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 pursuant to
Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue in
accordance with Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts
entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined
by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average
not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for
each chapter.

Appropriations pursuant to this article are
subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No
1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and
chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations
shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these
appropriations.

Where assistance is delivered via budget

people benefit from disaster relief and reconstruction interventions and that
adequate attention is paid to research and the collection of age-desegregated
data to support programming and policies.

This appropriation also covers education
for children affected by war or natural disasters.

In particular, operations should cover
programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development
organisations and other civil society players favouring the participation of
the beneficiary population at every level of the decision-making and
implementation process.

Remarks

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 aid and development
effectiveness.

Coordination measures are essential in
defining and shaping the Union development policy at a strategic and
programming level. The specific nature of the Union development policy is
directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 208 and 210 of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union). Union aid and the national policies of the
Member States in the sphere of development cooperation need to complement and
reinforce each other and this cannot work without coordination. Article 210 of
the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union calls on the Commission to
act as coordinator of national and EU development policies and of action in
development cooperation.

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
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:

Action A:
Coordination at the European and international level

—
effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, impact and
viability studies in the area of coordination, meetings of experts and exchanges
between the Commission, Member States, and other international actors (US,
emerging donors, etc.) and international forums such as South-South
cooperation,

—
monitoring of policies and 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,

—
the European Commission’s membership fees to the
international organisations/networks,

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

The Coordination appropriation will also
cover the financing of the initiative ‘Mobilising European Research on
Development Policies’ which aims to provide added value to the EU policymaking
process on development issues by improving the quality and forward-looking
perspective of EU policy formulation. The initiative seeks to enhance synergies
between European researchers and policymakers by bringing them together in one
common project. The main output of this initiative is the publication on an
annual basis of a ‘European Report on Development’ (ERD). The ERD, together
with other intermediary products (background papers, seminars and workshops),
will play a catalytic role in strengthening and refining the European
perspective on key development challenges and its influence in the
international development agenda on the basis of independent knowledge
excellence and innovative policy recommendations. This initiative is financed
jointly by the Commission and Member States through contributions on voluntary
basis. In addition, the appropriation will finance the publication of the ERD,
including translation, printing, dissemination and promotion campaign to
widespread the policy recommendations of the Report to development actors.

Action B: raising awareness

This
appropriation covers the financing of activities designed to draw attention to
action by the Union and the Member States in the development field and to raise
public awareness of development issues. Every activity financed pursuant to
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 Union 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 Union, and in developing countries.

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 Union’s representations and delegations in
the Member States.

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

Legal basis

Tasks 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

L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Tasks resulting from specific powers
directly conferred on the Commission pursuant to Article 210 of the Treaty on
the Functioning of the European Union.

Remarks

Under the
IPA, this appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and
institution building’ for candidate countries. The main objective is to develop
an effective capacity to implement the acquis of the Union, in
particular by means of:

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

—
the promotion and the protection of human rights
and fundamental freedoms and enhanced respect for minority rights, the
promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination,

—
public administration reform, including the
establishment of a system enabling decentralisation of assistance management to
the beneficiary country in accordance with the rules set down in the Financial
Regulation,

—
economic reform,

—
the development of civil society and social
inclusion, 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 persons with disabilities and older persons,

—
reconciliation, confidence-building measures and
reconstruction.

This appropriation may cover any eligible
cooperation measures that are not expressly covered by other components of
Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 and for cooperation between the components.

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 candidate countries in the stabilisation and
association process and their progression towards candidate country 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 of the Union 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,

—
the promotion and the protection of human rights
and fundamental freedoms and enhanced respect for minority rights, the
promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination,

—
public administration reform, including the
establishment of a system enabling decentralisation of assistance management to
the beneficiary country in accordance with the rules set down in the Financial
Regulation,

—
economic reform,

—
the development of civil society and social
inclusion, 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 persons with disabilities and older persons,

—
reconciliation, confidence-building measures and
reconstruction.

Part of the appropriations will be used for
additional support to the authorities in Kosovo to swiftly proceed in meeting
criteria and benchmarks for visa liberalisation with the Union, so visa-free
travel can be established with Kosovo without undue delay.

Remarks

The Union is to finance part of the
operation of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The financing is in the form of a contribution to its budgets.

The OHR was expected to close down after
Bosnia and Herzegovina had fulfilled some important benchmarks, but due to
political uncertainty the closure was postponed.

The OHR will report to the European
Parliament on the political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in particular
as regards its impact on the implementation of Union financial assistance.

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 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
financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish
Cypriot community in order to maintain and deepen results achieved with earlier
Union assistance. The assistance will focus particularly on the economic
integration of the island and on improving contacts between the two communities
and with the Union in order to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus.

The
assistance may be used to support:

—
the promotion of social and economic
development, in particular concerning rural development, human resources
development and regional development,

—
the development and restructuring of
infrastructure,

—
reconciliation, confidence-building measures,
and support to civil society,

—
bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to
the Union through, inter alia, information on the Union’s political and legal
order, promotion of youth exchanges and scholarships,

—
progressive alignment with, and preparation for,
implementation of the acquis of the Union,

—
the implementation of the decisions of the bicommunal
Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, including projects of the minorities,

—
the continuation of Union financial support and
acceleration of the work of the Committee on Missing Persons.

—
Capacity building in order to improve the
knowledge of civil society, about the EU and its aquis, and in order to improve
skills on how to apply for, and implement, EU funding.

Part of this
appropriation is also intended to cover the support administrative expenditure
necessary for implementation of the programme such as:

—
expenditure on technical and administrative
assistance which the Commission may delegate to an implementing agency governed
by Union law,

—
expenditure on technical and administrative
assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission
under ad hoc service contracts for the mutual benefit of the beneficiaries and
the Commission,

—
expenditure on studies, meetings of experts,
information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the
objective of the programme.

The appropriations are to be used, in
particular, to sustain the outcome of works, supplies and grants being funded
under earlier allocations. In addition, grant schemes addressed to a large
variety of beneficiaries within the civil society of the community (non-governmental
organisations (NGOs), students and teachers, schools, farmers, small villages,
the private sector) will continue. These activities are reunification driven.
Priority should be given, where possible, to reconciliation projects which
create bridges between the two communities and build confidence. These measures
underline the strong desire and commitment of the Union to a Cyprus settlement
and reunification.

Remarks

This appropriation will be used for
supporting non-profit organisations (such as civil society organisations at a local
and international level and public institutions) in conducting sustainable
preservation, restoration and development of sites concerning valuable cultural
objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) in candidate
and potential candidate countries.

Whenever possible, particular attention
should be given to projects that support confidence-building processes by
involving different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects, as well as
competence building and awareness creation on a local and national level.

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

The European Parliament resolution of 29
March 2007 on the future of Kosovo and the role of the EU (OJ C 27 E,
31.1.2008, p. 207) stated that a Kosovo settlement should cover ‘protection of
all cultural and religious sites’.

A huge number of damaged buildings in the
Balkans stand as physical reminders of earlier conflicts, creating mistrust.
Different ethnic groups and local authorities are today engaged by NGOs in
joint restoration projects, thereby promoting respect for the cultural values
of others, but no Union funding is available. The IPA programme broadly covers
‘reconstruction’ and ‘cooperation between communities’ but does not make
specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article
49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the

Remarks

This appropriation will be used for
supporting preservation and restoration projects for valuable cultural and
religious objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.)
damaged or destroyed by war or other political conflicts in the Western
Balkans. Appropriations may be used to support public organisations as well as
NGOs conducting projects in this field. In this context, however, it is
important to recognise the key role that NGOs often play in these preservation
and restoration projects.

Particular attention should be given to
projects that support the confidence-building process by involving different
ethnic and religious groups to take part in joint projects and that support
local education and development of restoration knowledge and skills of high
cultural quality.

Best restoration practice shall serve as a
guideline when selecting objects and, in the selection and evaluation of
proposals and contractors, restoration expertise shall be allowed to
participate.

Experiences from the pilot project
2008/2009, and the preparatory action 2010/2011 should serve to develop a
wider approach for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict
areas both in the Western Balkans and in other geographical areas.

The intention of this preparatory action is
to serve as a basis for integrating preservation and restoration of cultural
heritage in conflict areas into existing financial instruments, not only the
IPA programme (for the Western Balkans, Turkey, etc.) but also the ENPI
programmes (the Middle East, North Africa, etc.).

Remarks

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

The amount of the proposed appropriations
reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement
timetable. The aim of the information and communication strategy 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 future enlargement.

The appropriations will finance information
and communication actions on priority Union policies such as: an effective
dialogue on enlargement and pre-accession between citizens of the Union and the
Union’s institutions, taking into account each country’s specificity and
information needs; an informed debate on enlargement and pre-accession among
civil society organisations and citizens in the Union and those of candidate
countries and potential candidates; informing journalists and other multipliers
on the enlargement process; commissioning studies and opinion polls; developing
and updating dedicated websites; preparing printed and audiovisual material;
organising public events as well as conferences and seminars; and evaluating
the information programme.

The Commission, when implementing this
budget line, should take duly into account the outcomes of the meetings of the
Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI).

Legal basis

prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of

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

The bulk of this appropriation will be
allocated to cover information and communication activities devolved to Union
liaison offices/delegations in candidate and potential candidate countries.

Information and communication actions will
be directed at the general public, relevant specific audiences, especially
youth, media and civil society organisations, 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 Union’s profile and
political leverage in those countries and generate public support for the
reform process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
food aid operations of a humanitarian nature and will be carried out in
accordance with the rules on humanitarian aid under Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

The Union’s humanitarian aid provides
assistance and relief on a non-discriminatory basis to help people outside the
Union, particularly the most vulnerable among them, and as a priority those in
developing countries who are the victims of natural disasters, man-made crises,
such as wars and outbreaks of fighting, or exceptional circumstances/circumstances
comparable to natural or man-made disasters. That assistance is provided as
long as it is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations
give rise.

This appropriation may be used to finance
the purchase and delivery of food, seeds, livestock or any product or equipment
needed for the implementation of the humanitarian food aid operations.

This
appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the measures that are essential
for implementing food aid operations of a humanitarian nature within the
requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients,
satisfies the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of
cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency. This includes:

—
the transport and distribution of aid, including
any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading, coordination,
etc.,

—
back-up measures that are essential for the
programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid, the cost of
which is not covered by other appropriations, e.g. exceptional transport and
storage operations, processing or preparation of foodstuffs on the spot,
disinfection, consultants’ services, technical assistance and equipment
directly involved in providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

—
the supervision and coordination of food aid
operations, notably the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of
the products involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

—
pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport,
packaging or storage, studies of food aid operations, visibility operations
linked to the humanitarian operations, and information campaigns to increase
public awareness,

—
the storage of food (including administrative
costs, future operations, with or without options, training of technicians,
purchase of packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and
repairing stores, etc.),

—
the technical assistance necessary for the
preparation and implementation of humanitarian food aid projects, in particular
expenditure incurred covering the cost of contracts of individual experts in
the field and the infrastructure and logistics costs, covered by imprest
accounts and expenditure authorisations, of Directorate-General for
Humanitarian Aid units deployed throughout the world.

In order to ensure full financial
transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the
Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and
implementation of projects by international organisations, will make every
effort to commit to sending all their internal and external audits regarding
the use of Union funds to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal
Auditor of the Commission.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a
preparatory action on the establishment of a European Voluntary Humanitarian
Aid Corps (EVHAC), which is foreseen by Article 214(5) of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union.

In 2012, the Commission plans to adopt a
legislative proposal setting up EVHAC. The aim of EVHAC is to create a
framework for joint contributions from Europeans to humanitarian aid operations
of the Union. It is a way of expressing the Union’s solidarity with people in
need. EVHAC will add visibility to Europe as a global player showing solidarity
with the most vulnerable sections of the world population and ensuring
involvement of a wide range of actors. An initial review of the European
voluntary humanitarian aid sector identified gaps and areas where the EVHAC
will add value. These include the identification and selection of volunteers,
training through the development of common standards, good practices and
possibly modules and deployment. In addition to giving a European form to the
widely dispersed activities carried out by volunteers, the existence of EVHAC
will also lead to a more efficient coordination of humanitarian activities, to
the standardisation of procedures and practices applying to volunteers and to
economies of scale.

This
appropriation is intended to cover the following measures and items of
expenditure:

—
based on the 2011 preparatory work, the
Commission will identify the areas requiring in-depth studies. Specific studies
and evaluations further exploring issues linked to the establishment of EVHAC
will be launched and will allow EVHAC’s concrete features to be better defined,

—
this work will be followed up by an extensive
information and consultation process (publications, workshops, experts
meetings, conferences) and the coordination and mobilisation of key
stakeholders required by the legislative process. Seminars, working groups and
conferences with stakeholders will facilitate the exchange of views on the
future direction and structure of European volunteering in humanitarian aid,

—
concrete ‘pilot’ actions in fields not covered
in 2011 (e.g. civil protection) will be implemented to test concrete options
and to generate lessons learned that will feed into the legislative proposal
process,

—
follow-up of 2011 concrete actions will be
implemented to work with more partners, thereby exploring other options and
responding to the expectations raised in 2011.

The implementation of concrete projects
will include the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and
implementation of projects, in particular the cost of contracts of volunteers
and individual experts in the field and, where appropriate, the infrastructure
and logistics costs (e.g. security, health, lodgings, insurance, daily and
travel allowances) information and awareness-raising activities, including the
promotion of volunteering to organisations which are not traditionally
associated with this type of activity.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of
Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
expenditure on actions in the field of civil protection. It is aimed at
supporting and complementing the efforts of the Member States, EFTA and
candidate countries having signed a memorandum of understanding with the Union
on response, preparedness and prevention actions with regard to natural and
man-made disasters, acts of terrorism and technological, radiological or
environmental accidents. It also aims to facilitate closer cooperation between
the Member States in the field of civil protection.

It covers,
in particular:

—
the creation and management of a genuine 24/7
fully-fledged Emergency Response Centre (ERC). This covers, the purchase and
maintenance of security, specialised IT and communication tools and technical
and human services necessary for the establishment and functioning of the
Emergency Response Centre. This centre (‘crisis room’) will be operational on a
24-hour basis and responsible for the coordination of the EU’s civilian
disaster response, in particular to ensure full consistency and efficient
cooperation between humanitarian assistance and civil protection. The
Centre needs advanced technology to maximise the gathering of information and
facilitate the dissemination of information to various stakeholders, partners
and teams in the field during major emergencies. In a crisis situation, more
information rapidly available to decisionmakers translates into saved lives,

—
the creation of a ‘stand-by’ capability for
resources and equipment to be made available to a Member State in the event of
an emergency,

—
the identification of intervention experts,
modules and other support available in Member States for assistance
interventions in case of emergencies,

—
the mobilisation of experts to assess assistance
needs and facilitate Union assistance in Member States or third countries in the
event of disasters, and the basic logistical support for such experts,

—
a programme of lessons learnt from civil
protection interventions and exercises in the framework of the Community Civil
Protection Mechanism,

—
a training programme for intervention teams,
external staff and experts, to provide the knowledge and tools needed to
participate effectively in Union interventions and to develop a common European
intervention culture,

—
command post exercises and full-scale exercises
to test interoperability, train civil protection officials and create a common
intervention culture,

—
exchanges of experts to enhance understanding of
Union civil protection and to share information and experience,

—
information and communication (ICT) systems, in
particular CECIS (Common Emergency Communication and Information System),
facilitating the exchange of information with Member States during emergencies,
to improve efficiency and to enable the exchange of ‘EU classified’
information. This covers the costs of development, maintenance, operation and
support (hardware, software and services) of the systems. It also covers the
cost of project management, quality control, security, documentation and
training linked to the implementation of such systems,

and manpower.

The pilot
project’s objectives are, in particular, to:

—
draw up a schedule of Member State emergency
teams and logistical resources which can be mobilised in a contingency
situation,

—
develop standardised communication and
information mechanisms in order to make assistance more effective and exchange
information on best practices and best equipment and on drawing up operation
plans for using both technical and human contingency resources.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a
preparatory action on a rapid response capability of the Union designed to
respond immediately to critical needs arising from major disasters, including
forest fires. It may consist of dedicated civil protection modules that Member
States make available for European civil protection intervention and/or
additional complementary capacities made available by the Monitoring and
Information Centre (MIC) through standing arrangements with other parties.

The aim of this preparatory action is also
to improve the mobilisation of additional operational resources and emergency
support from Member States to assist other Member States or third countries in
coping with forest fires too numerous and too intense to be handled within the
constraints of national logistical capacity and manpower. It is designed to
test innovative arrangements for making assistance available to Member States or
third countries facing major forest fires. It covers in particular the
setting-up by the Member States of a reserve of fire fighting capacities that
may be made available in situations where Member States are unable to provide
the assistance because they have engaged all their national fire fighting
capacities to respond to forest fires or due to a high risk of forest fires on
their territory.

By ensuring that key resources and
essential equipment are on standby during relevant periods, in line with scenarios
for responding to major disasters, this preparatory action is intended to
enhance the collective preparedness of the Union for major disasters and paves
the way for the European Union Civil Protection Force.

Remarks

As foreseen in the Action Plan implementing
the Stockholm programme, the Commission envisages presenting a ‘Communication
on a comprehensive policy against corruption in Member States, including the
establishment of an evaluation mechanism as well as presenting modalities of
cooperation with the Council of Europe’s Group of States against corruption
(GRECO) for that purpose’.

The anti-corruption policy and evaluation
mechanism at the level of the Union would respond to: (i) the public perception
across the Union (2007 and 2009 Eurobarometers: more than 75 % of the European
citizens consider that corruption represents a major problem in their own
Member State), and (ii) the high public expectation of strengthened Union
action (public consultation for Stockholm programme: 88 % of consulted citizens
required more Union action in the field of anti-corruption).

A concrete step towards establishing an
evaluation mechanism is a pilot project with a particular focus on public
procurement involving Union funds that could identify indicators of corruption
in the field of public procurement, test them in a limited number of Member
States and measure the costs of corruption in particular areas. This particular
focus in the pilot project is required given the magnitude of Union funds involved
across the Union and the fact that public procurement is a developed area of
the acquis in which Union competence is well-established.

Considering that corruption has played an
important role in the financial crisis and that it slows down the recovery, the
pilot project and the action by the Union has become even more urgent.

As a prerequisite, a research component in
the pilot project may advance common definitions of corruption in the area of
public procurement, so that data in different Member States could be compared,
and the costs of corruption could be identified based upon common criteria.

The pilot project could be implemented in a
limited number of Member States, selected on the basis of whether the results
would be relevant for follow-up at Union level and for future Union policy and
legislative action. The findings of the pilot project could then be
disseminated throughout the Union.

Legal basis

Pilot project 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).

Remarks

The purpose of this pilot project is to set
up an interinstitutional system identifying long-term trends on major policy
issues that the Union faces. This system should provide common analyses of
probable outcomes on major issues to be available for policy-makers; this is to
be coordinated between the Parliament (involving policy departments), the
Council and the Commission, using the already well established European Union
Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) as a core for the system. This system
should be rapidly established to be in full operation by 2012.

Pilot project within the meaning of Article
49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the

Remarks

The purpose of this preparatory action is
to set up an interinstitutional system identifying long-term trends on major
policy issues that the Union faces. The intention is to provide common analyses
of probable outcomes on major issues to be available for policymakers.
Furthermore, to achieve this goal, it would now be appropriate to explore in
detail the design of specific mechanisms for promoting closer working
cooperation between the research departments of the various Union institutions
and bodies which are devoted to the analysis of medium- and long-term policy
trends.

The aim of
this preparatory action will be to:

—
create a European strategy and policy analysis
system (ESPAS) with all Union institutions included by 2014 on the basis of a
proposal from the Commission (Article 49 of the Financial Regulation). The
European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) could continue to provide
facilities and technical back-up until such time as the system becomes
operational,

—
the system will be interinstitutional, focusing
on global long-term trends, both external and internal, relating to the Union,

—
the system should be designed to provide regular
input to the Union institutions to nourish long-term and medium-term strategic
thinking, including reaching out to academics and other stakeholders to provide
a broad perspective:

—
this input would include a detailed appraisal of
long-term global trends and the submission of a report to the incoming
presidents of the Union institutions looking at challenges options for the
period 2014-2019,

—
further reports could include documents for the
Union institutions for debate on forward-looking topics, helping foster and
deepen cooperation between the Union institutions,

—
the system should develop links with other
countries undertaking global trends work in order to benefit from their
expertise and provide its own expertise to other countries trying to get a grip
on strategic trends and changes,

—
build and maintain an open website, as a global
repository for all relevant information, to facilitate citizens’ access, and
linked to other working websites on long-term trends across the globe.

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).

Remarks

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, as well as any other expenditure on
technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks
outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts, as the contracts
of technical assistance offices expire during subsequent years.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this item. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

Remarks

On 29 September 2008 the Commission
proposed a programme on ‘Interoperability Solutions for European Public
Administrations’ (ISA) as a successor to the IDABC programme, which came to an
end in December 2009.

The ISA programme aims at facilitating the
efficient and effective electronic cross-border and cross-sector interaction
between European public administrations in support of the delivery of
electronic public services.

In order to do so, the ISA programme must
contribute to establishing the related organisational, financial and
operational framework by ensuring the availability of common frameworks, common
services and generic tools and by increasing the awareness of information and
communication technology aspects of Union legislation.

The ISA programme will thus contribute to
the reinforcement and implementation of Union policies and legislation.

The programme is implemented in close
cooperation and coordination with Member States and sectors, via studies,
projects and accompanying measures.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this item. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

Remarks

Since expenditure on staff and buildings is
included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01, XX 01 03 01 and
26 01 23, the Commission contribution, 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.

Remarks

This project will have as a general
objective the drawing up of proposals to prepare for future action for
investment in Member States in small-scale solar energy demonstration
installations for heating, cooling and electricity. The specific objective
should be to set up residential installations in those Member States and
regions where there are no subsidies or very limited subsidies, in order to
allow the presentation to a large audience of different technologies and
possibilities for the generation of heat, cooling and electricity from the sun.
As these are new technologies and the majority of the Union population is not
well-informed about their advantages, private residential solar investments can
be boosted by creating such demonstration installations closer to their place
of residence.

The outcome of the project should be
several solar installations installed in residential houses and buildings which
are made to be functional and to be visited.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund
pilot projects or other support activities aiming at analysing the
public acceptance of the exploration and exploitation of shale gas and the
introduction of a dialogue on it.

A public debate on shale gas, its merits
and negative effects, has started in Europe, but it is not always based on
concrete knowledge and information. It is important, therefore, to start a
citizens’ dialogue and information campaign before industrial production
begins.

This appropriation should support this
public dialogue on the social, environmental and economic effects of such
projects at local, national and European level. Such dialogues should include
national authorities, local communities, the general public, businesses and
NGOs. The content of planned activities could include public hearings,
conciliations, or other new methods of public consultation in the areas of
shale gas development and within national capitals.

Remarks

In the framework of Directive 2009/28/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of
the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 16), which
sets national targets for the share of renewable energy sources in gross final
energy consumption, a new mechanism is proposed for achieving the national
targets, under which Member States can make use of national support schemes and
of the cooperation mechanisms provided in the context of Directive 2009/28/EC.
These mechanisms, which introduce flexibility for Member States on a voluntary
cooperation basis, refer to statistical transfers between Member States
(Article 6), joint projects between Member States (Articles 7 and 8), joint
projects between Member States and third parties (Articles 9 and 10) and joint
support schemes between Member States (Article 11).

This preparatory action should aim to
examine all the conditions for the successful implementation of these
cooperation mechanisms and their interaction with other mechanisms or national
support schemes, and to assess the need to develop a specific framework for the
operation of this mechanism. Development of this operation framework should be
given priority in Member States with limited cross-border network capacities as
well as in areas that exhibit high potential for specific renewable energy
sources projects.

Union,

—
to strengthen civil society and to encourage an
open, transparent and regular dialogue with it in respect of fundamental
rights,

professions, including by way of support for judicial training, with the aim of
better mutual understanding among such authorities and professionals.

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

—
specific actions taken by the Commission, such
as studies and research, opinion polls and surveys, formulation of indicators
and common methodologies, collection, development and dissemination of data and

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
earlier commitments.

The aim of this article is to introduce
throughout the 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 article 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, free phone
lines and information technology networks would be typical costs.

violence against children and adolescents of both sexes and against women, with
a view to standardising national legislation in this area. The objectives will
be to:

—
analyse the current national legislation on
gender violence, with reference to all types of violence: domestic violence,
sexual violence, prostitution and trafficking, female genital mutilation and
crimes of honour,

—
analyse shortcomings in applying legislation on
gender violence in each Member State,

—
implement the process of European-level
harmonisation of legislation against gender violence by proposing provisions to
combat and reduce gender violence within the Union.

Remarks

At Union level, there are major
deficiencies and obstacles with regard to the collection of reliable and
comparable statistics on children. A methodology therefore needs to be
developed for devising indicators relating specifically to children.

The
objectives of the pilot project are:

—
collection of statistics and best practices
relating to children:

—
promoting the exchange of information,
establishing best practices and publishing an overview of the state of play in
the 27 Member States,

—
establishing a knowledge base on children's
rights which will enable the Union institutions and Member States to adapt
their policies on the basis of shared know-how,

—
analysing Member States' current legislation on
safeguarding children's rights,

—
devising indicators (quantitative and
qualitative) and benchmarks so as to enhance the comparability, objectivity and
reliability of child-related data at European level with regard to:

—
child poverty and social exclusion,

—
abuse, sexual exploitation of children and
paedophile pornography,

—
domestic violence,

—
sex tourism,

—
international abduction of children involved in
disputes,

—
children with disabilities: policies to support
the differently-abled and criticalities,

—
child trafficking,

—
gender discrimination (female genital
mutilation, crimes of honour, forced marriages),

—
eating disorders,

—
addictions (alcohol, tobacco, drugs, medicines),

—
missing children,

—
unaccompanied minors,

—
risks associated with the behavioural and
psychological aspects of using new technologies,

—
juvenile delinquency,

—
involving and consulting children:

—
developing a methodology for involvement and
consultation at European and national level which (a) enables children to be
heard and (b) ensures the constructive and effective involvement of children in
decisions affecting them, as set out in Article 12 of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child,

—
developing child-friendly communication and
information systems for making Union measures known in a manner adapted to a
younger audience.

Remarks

The proposed European Centre for Press and
Media Freedom would follow on from the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and
European Charter for Freedom of the Press by acting as a European-level
‘drop-in centre’ for journalistic organisations or individuals and media actors
alleging violations of those Charters. The Centre would monitor and document
any such violations. It would also act as an alarm center for acute cases, for
instance by organising support of foreign colleagues for journalists who need
help. The Centre would benefit from input from a wide range of sources,
including academic centers, regional partners from all over Europe and various
journalists’ organisations.

The territorial scope covered would be the EU27,
Croatia and the Candidate countries.

This project would be complementary to
existing actions supported by the Union budget. More specifically, it would
constitute the practical, hands-on, counterpart of the academically-oriented
‘Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom’ based at the European University
Institute in Florence. It would furthermore benefit from the momentum created
by the High Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism set up by the Commission
and its forthcoming report.

Freedom and pluralism of the media,
including independent media governance, are key elements for enabling the
exercise of freedom of expression, which constitutes one of the essential
foundations of the European Union. Media pluralism and freedom is vital for our
democratic societies.

This project aims to support in the EU 27
and candidate and potential candidate countries journalistic organisations or

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to improve
the financial situation of SMEs that operate in their home Member State and
across borders by supporting them in managing and enforcing outstanding claims.
SMEs will be helped to optimise their business procedures by improving
information access and dissemination in the area of credit and claims
management instruments and options. The aim is also to improve the use,
understanding and awareness of the legal instruments available. In this pilot
project, multilingual practice-based guidelines will introduce the subject and
methodology of credit and claims management and explain the application of
existing legal instruments to the national and cross-border enforcement of
claims (Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 12 December 2006 creating a European order for payment procedure (OJ
L 399, 30.12.2006, p. 1), Regulation (EC) No 861/2007 of the European

recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ L

decentralised way throughout Europe, e.g. via the networks of chambers of
commerce and industry, organisations representing SMEs or other facilities
engaged in business promotion, to provide SMEs with information on credit and
claims management and the available legal instruments available.

In 2012, events aiming to provide SMEs with
information on credit and claims management and the legal instruments available
will be continued and extended. There will also be events targeting students of
professional training programmes and teaching modules will be developed whose
content can be integrated and used in vocational advanced training and advanced
training of young entrepreneurs. Furthermore, there will be awareness-raising
activities to draw attention to information on credit and claims management and
to familiarise SMEs with national and Union legal instruments and the
possibilities offered by the e-Justice portal. This is supported by the
dissemination of the multilingual practice-based guidelines that introduce the
subject and methodology of credit and claims management and explain the
application of existing legal instruments to the enforcement of claims.
Moreover, this pilot project is extended to SMEs that operate in their home
Member State.

Remarks

A specific
pilot project on judicial training can help fulfil the goal of building a
European judicial culture, as expressed in the Stockholm Programme and in
several resolutions adopted by the European Parliament in 2009/2010. The
resources of the pilot project will contribute to:

—
identifying best practices in training of
judges, prosecutors and professionals of justice in national legal systems and
traditions as well as in Union law,

—
identifying best practices to bring training in
Union law as well as in national legal systems and traditions to judges,
prosecutors and professionals of justice at local level and to promote the
dialogue and coordination between Union judges and prosecutors,

—
promoting exchanges of these best practices
between the Union judicial training providers and disseminating them across the
Union,

—
improving cooperation between the European
Judicial Training Network and the national judicial training institutions with
judicial training providers such as the Academy of European Law and with the
European level professional organisations such as the European Network of the
Councils for the Judiciary, the Network of the Presidents of the Supreme
Judicial Courts, the Association of the Councils of State and Supreme
Administrative Jurisdictions and the Eurojustice network of European
Prosecutors-General.

The pilot project could be coordinated by a
minimum of three national judicial schools in cooperation with at least one
European school of judicial training.

Remarks

According to the latest data available
300,000 couples of different nationalities get married every year in Europe;
129,000 of these marriages end in a divorce or separation.

This phenomenon has led to dramatic
increase in recent years in conflicts of jurisdiction on the custody of
children born to bi-national couples and an increase in cases of international
abduction of minors.

The goal of the project is to create an
information instrument for all bi-national couples on parental responsibilities
and the rights of children in cases of separation or divorce of parents.

This instrument aims to provide
"informed consent" to highlight the differences between the legal
systems of Member States in regard to the consequences of separation and/or
divorce, rules on the custody of minors under international conventions and the
consequences of international child abduction, especial as concerns the impact
on the children involved.

The experience of the European Parliament
Mediator for cases of international child abduction has shown that a wide range
of situations arise from the uncertainty of applicable law, conflicts of
jurisdiction and the totally inadequate knowledge and awareness of rights and
obligations of bi-national couples.

Actions:

—
—comparison of national laws of Member States as
regards separation, divorce and child custody;

—
—development of information instruments (eg
vadememecum, practical guides, brochures, etc) to provide all necessary
information (rights, duties and responsibilities of parents and towards the
children)

—
—involvement of all the competent authorities of
Member States in the distribution of these information

—
instruments to increase knowledge and awareness
among bi-national couples.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
funding of priority information measures in the field of justice.

It covers information and communication
measures in the field of justice 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
Union, stakeholders, and the Union institutions and take account of specific
national, regional and local characteristics, in close cooperation with the
Member State authorities.

The Commission has adopted a series of
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 final). These
communications propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation extended
to Member States for the development of a communication and information policy
strategy for the 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
Union 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.

prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of the

Remarks

The objective of the pilot project is to
fund initiatives which help develop policies for employment and social
integration of people suffering from autism. The pilot project should therefore
support innovative and integrated projects, addressing multiple disadvantages
faced by people on the autistic spectrum, while taking account of the strengths
they offer, and promoting their inclusion in the labour market and social and
economic activities.

Measures to
be financed will focus on:

—
gaining better understanding of autism and of
challenges and obstacles faced by people suffering from autism in entering the
labour market,

—
assessing what tangible labour market measures
ought to be taken in order to prevent unemployment and raise the employment
levels of people suffering from autism (according to some sources, 62 % of
adults with autism do not have any work at all, while others show that only
6 % of adults on the autistic spectrum have full-time paid employment),

—
identifying existing policy approaches in the
Member States, and mapping the types of measures aimed at developing employment
opportunities for people with autism and helping them access and sustain
employment,

—
assessing the effectiveness of the measures
undertaken,

—
promoting exchange of best practices.

Remarks

The European Charter for Equality of Women
and Men in Local Life demonstrates the potential for action by local
authorities in the field of gender equality. To be politically effective the
various objectives stated in the Charter need to be defined in terms of
relevant indicators (specifically and clearly measurable, thorough and
comprehensive, realistic and modifiable) that allow the current state of
implementation to be benchmarked against the objectives of the Charter. The
pilot project should finance actions geared towards the development of such
indicators so as to assess implementation of the Charter (similar to the
EU follow-up to the UN Beijing process). In cooperation with local
authorities, the European Institute for Gender Equality could be involved
beause of its expertise in developing indicators. The pilot project should
last for two years, with a total budget of EUR 1 million, and enable
local actors to better monitor implementation of the Charter.

Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with
point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary
discipline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the
specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not
be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for
humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection
where circumstances so require. The annual amount of this reserve is fixed at
EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant
prices.

This reserve is entered in the general
budget of the European Union as a provision. The corresponding commitment
appropriations will be entered in the budget, if necessary, over and above the
ceilings.

When the Commission considers that this
reserve needs to be called on, it will present to the two arms of the budgetary
authority a proposal for a transfer from this reserve to the relevant budget
lines.

At the same time as it presents its
proposal for a transfer, the Commission will initiate a trialogue procedure, if
necessary in a simplified form, to secure agreement of the two arms of the
budgetary authority on the need to use this reserve and on the amount required.

p. 1).

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 shall
apply. 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 (2007-2013)
(OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), 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 Union to investigate new areas of
research suitable for Union 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 Union’s strategy on research,
technological development and demonstration (RTD).

Revenue resulting from cooperation
agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community and Switzerland or the
multilateral European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) will be entered in
Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 2 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the
provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the
Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or
institutes 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 Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1
5 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional
appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from States taking part in the

Additional appropriations will be made
available under Article 08 22 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 Decision No 1982/2006/EC, 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 the area of
health are intended to improve the health of the European public and boost the
competitiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in
Europe, while at the same time addressing world health problems, including new
epidemics. The emphasis will be on translational research (transposing basic
findings into clinical applications), developing and validating new treatments,
identifying ways of promoting health and preventing illness, diagnostic tools
and technologies for making diagnoses, as well as sustainable and effective
healthcare systems. Special attention will be given to communicating research
findings and to the initiation of a dialogue with civil society, in particular
patient groups, at as early a stage as possible in new developments produced by
biomedical and genetics research.

Funding may be given to clinical research
on many diseases, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, diabetes and
other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal
diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), or rare diseases.

An increased share of funding should go to
research on diseases related to ageing.

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) farm to fork: 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 and animal 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).

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
previous budget. 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.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from

Remarks

Environmental research within the Seventh
Framework Programme will be implemented through the ‘Environment (including
climate change)’ theme. The objective is to promote sustainable management of
the natural and human environment and its resources by advancing our knowledge
of the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities, and
developing new technologies, tools and services, in order to address in an
integrated way global environmental issues. Emphasis will be put on prediction
of climate, ecological, earth and ocean systems changes and on tools and
technologies, for monitoring, prevention and mitigation of environmental
pressures and risks including on human health, and for the sustainability of
the natural and man-made environment.

Research on this theme will contribute to
the implementation of international commitments and initiatives such as Global
Earth Observation (GEO). In addition, it will support the research needs
arising from the existing and future Union legislation and policies, associated
thematic strategies and the action plans on environmental technologies and on
environment and health. Research will also contribute technological
developments that will improve the market positioning of European enterprises,
in particular of small and medium-sized enterprises, in areas such as
environmental technologies.

Remarks

For the Seventh Framework Programme 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 citizens 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

The objective of the risk-sharing finance
facility (RSFF) is to foster private investment in research by improving access
to debt financing for participants in large European research projects. RSFF
will enable the European Investment Bank to expand, directly and indirectly
(via its network of intermediary banks), its portfolio of loans to participants
in such projects.

RSFF will contribute to the implementation
of the Europe 2020 Strategy, in particular to the achievement of the 3 %
investment in research objective, by helping overcome market deficiencies,
increasing the total amount of funds available for research and diversifying its
sources.

In line with the outcome of the mid-term
review of RSFF, the Commission is encouraged to test new risk-sharing models
with the EIB Group, based on a portfolio first loss piece approach, allowing
more risky research and innovation intensive projects to be supported. A
dedicated instrument should also be introduced within RSFF, based on the same
risk-sharing approach in order to support research-intensive and innovative
SMEs and small mid-caps investing in research, development and innovation. This
should facilitate access to finance to a key target group.

The contributions from the EFTA States

Remarks

The general objective of the international
cooperation activities carried out under the ‘Capacities’ heading of the
Seventh Framework Programme is to help create a strong and coherent science and
technology policy of the Union by developing strategic partnerships with third
countries and by addressing the specific problems of third countries as well as
global ones. These activities will involve the following groups of third
countries: the candidate countries, associated and industrialised countries, as
well as international cooperation partner countries (Asia, Latin America,
Eastern Europe and Central Asia, African, Caribbean and Pacific countries,
Mediterranean partner countries and countries in the western Balkans).

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the ‘European
Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section,
which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of this appropriation is intended to
foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as an ICT strategy that
not only competes with rapidly emerging ICT markets, e.g. in Asia, but also sets
standards for global ICT policy-making in the interest of European values, by
pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for the
advancement of research, development and innovation in the field of ICT.
Measures will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international
community and be complementary to existing mechanisms and successful working
relationships. Part of this appropriation is also intended to foster common
approaches to key global challenges, such as energy security and resource
scarcity, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for
the advancement of research and development in the field of energy. The
appropriations will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and
third countries that are beyond the scope of a single country to undertake and
beyond the scope of current tools available under existing legal instruments.
In implementing this action the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution
of subsidies. It will help actors at a global level to engage in research
partnerships in order to foster innovation in the field of ICT, prepare the
Union and its partners for a leading role in setting future ICT standards and
foster innovation in the field of secure, clean and efficient energy.

Remarks

The objective of the risk-sharing finance
facility (RSFF) is to foster private investment in research by improving access
to debt financing for participants in European research infrastructures. RSFF
will enable the European Investment Bank to expand, directly and indirectly
(via its network of intermediary banks), its portfolio of loans to participants
in such infrastructures.

RSFF will contribute to the implementation
of the Europe 2020 Strategy, in particular to the achievement of the 3 %
investment in research objective, by helping overcome market deficiencies,
increasing the total amount of funds available for research and diversifying its
sources.

In line with the outcome of the mid-term
review of the RSFF, the Commission is encouraged to test new risk-sharing
models with the EIB Group, based on a portfolio first-loss piece approach,
facilitating access to debt financing for strategic Union research
infrastructure

Remarks

Increasing investment in research and
development up to the 3 % objective and improving its effectiveness is a
top priority under the Europe 2020 Strategy. Thus, the development of a
coherent mix of policies to leverage public and private research investments is
a major concern for public authorities. Actions under this heading will support
the development of effective and coherent research policies at regional,
national and Union level, through the provision of structured information,
indicators and analyses, and through actions aimed at coordinating research
policies, in particular application of the open method of coordination to
research policy.

Remarks

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost
limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the
progress towards this ultimate goal. The realisation of the ITER project
therefore lies at the heart of the present Union strategy. It must be
accompanied by a strong and focused European research and development programme
to prepare for the exploitation of ITER and to develop the technologies and
knowledge base that will be needed during ITER operation and beyond.

particularly as a follow-up to the Lisbon summit;

—
enable third countries to pursue a policy of
opening up their markets to the same extent as in the Union.

The specific
objectives of these measures are:

—
the formulation of a Union policy and strategy
in the field of communication services and networks (including convergence
between electronic communications and audiovisual environments, aspects related
to the Internet, etc.);

—
the development of radio spectrum policy in the
Union;

—
the development of activities in the mobile and
satellite communications sector, particularly as regards frequencies;

programme

Remarks

This action is geared, in a balanced
manner, to the implementation of operational and technical measures designed to
promote safer use of the Internet and other communication technologies,
particularly for children, and to fight against illegal content and harmful
conduct online. In line with this objective, the programme will focus on
practical help for the end user and in particular children, parents, carers,
teachers and educators.

The specific
objectives of this programme are:

—
tackling illegal content and harmful conduct
online by supporting actions aiming at reducing the amount of illegal content
circulated online and dealing adequately with harmful conduct online, with
particular focus on online distribution of child sexual abuse material,
grooming and bullying;

—
promoting a safer online environment by bringing
together stakeholders to find ways to promote a safer online environment and to
protect children from content and conduct that may be harmful for them. The aim
is to encourage stakeholders to cooperate, take responsibility and develop and
implement systems of self-regulation and foster privacy-by-design;

—
ensuring public awareness by providing contact
points where the public and in particular children, parents, carers, teachers
and educators can be informed about opportunities and risks related to the use
of online technologies and means of staying safe online;

—
establishing a knowledge base in order to set up
and continue to develop a base for dealing adequately both with existing and
emerging uses, risks and consequences, and mapping both quantitative and
qualitative aspects in this context. The acquired knowledge will feed into the
implementation of the proposed programme as well as into the design of adequate
and proportional actions for ensuring online safety for all users.

The programme will seek to involve and
bring together the different stakeholders whose cooperation is essential, but
who do not necessarily always come together unless the appropriate structures
are put in place.

Those stakeholders include content
providers, Internet service providers, mobile network operators, regulators,
standards bodies, industry self-regulatory bodies, national, regional and local
authorities responsible for industry, education, consumer protection, families,
law enforcement, children’s rights and child welfare and non-governmental
organisations active in consumer protection, families, children’s rights and
child welfare.

These
measures will be implemented by means of the following shared-cost actions:

—
pilot projects and best practice actions; ad-hoc
projects in areas relevant to the programme, including projects demonstrating
best practice or involving innovative uses of existing technology, especially
for data protection purposes and the protection of fundamental rights;

—
networks and national actions bringing together
a variety of stakeholders to ensure action throughout Europe and to facilitate
coordination activities and the transfer of knowledge;

—
Europe-wide investigation carried out on a
comparable basis into the way adults and children use online technologies, the
resulting risks for children and the effects of harmful practices on children,
and behavioural and psychological aspects with emphasis on child sexual abuse
related to the use of online technologies, investigation on upcoming risk
situations due to transforming behaviours or technological developments, etc.

Accompanying
measures will contribute to the implementation of the programme or the
preparation of future activities. Those measures will include:

—
benchmarking and opinion surveys to produce reliable
data on safer use of online technologies for all Member States collected
through comparable methodologies;

—
technical assessment of technologies such as
filtering designed to promote safer use of the Internet and new online
technologies;

—
studies in support of the programme and its
actions;

—
exchange of information through conferences,
seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered
activities;

—
dissemination, information and communication
activities.

Remarks

The ICT PSP is one of the three specific
programmes under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP).

Actions will be stepped up at Union level
for stimulating wider uptake of information and communication technologies
(ICTs). Synergistic actions at Union level aim to reduce uncertainties and the
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).

As indicated in the legal basis, the ICT
PSP 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
persons with disabilities and persons suffering from ‘dys’ conditions
(dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.).

This will be done in particular by
supporting the development of ICT-based services and the development and use of
digital content in areas of public interest, including in the areas of ICT for
health and inclusion; ICT for government and governance; ICT for energy
efficiency, smart mobility and environment; digital libraries, and publicly
accessible online Books in Print catalogues, better exploitation of public
sector information, education and learning.

Part of ICT PSP appropriations in the CIP
may be used to ensure testing, and support deployment across the Union, of the
next-generation 112, innovative services for interoperable emergency services
and 112 for all citizens, enabling quicker, more efficient reactions and
life-saving, inter alia, through remodelling the traditional technical
architecture for emergency calling and lowering its cost and complexity, with
the ultimate aim of providing an optimum response to 112 calls made by all
citizens, including users with disabilities. Furthermore, dissemination,
information and education actions should promote the knowledge and appropriate
use of ‘112’. In addition, an SMS SOS service should be developed and tested to
enable people with disabilities to send requests for help to the emergency
services.

The ICT PSP in the CIP will stimulate wider
uptake of ICT for improved services. It will also ensure that European
businesses and in particular small and medium-sized enterprises can benefit
from the new opportunities brought by the increasing demand for these ICT-based
services. As indicated in the CIP legal basis, the support to the development
and use of digital content is fully integrated in the ICT PSP from 2009 on.
During a transition phase for 2007 and 2008, this has been done under the
eContent plus programme (through its own legal basis).

The main part of the support will go to a
limited number of high-impact pilot projects and best practice actions per
year. Accompanying measures, such as thematic networks bringing together a
variety of stakeholders around specific objectives, will also be launched. They
will be complemented by the monitoring of the European information society, by
measures providing the background knowledge that is needed for policy
decision-making, and by actions for promoting and raising awareness of the
benefits brought by ICT to citizens, businesses (in particular small and
medium-sized enterprises) or public organisations.

The ICT PSP in the CIP should contribute to
testing the design of new financial instruments such as the Project Bond
Initiative in the area of ICT, and in particular high-speed broadband. It
should contribute to the preparation of new financial instruments for the
forthcoming multiannual financial framework 2014-2020. It should in particular,
test how private and public long-term investors can invest in favour of the
deployment of ICT broadband infrastructure. The Commission is invited to work
with the EIB Group as well as other long-term investors to develop innovative
ways of attracting funding for infrastructure.

Remarks

The objective of the Seventh Framework
Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and
demonstration activities (2007-2013) and the ‘Information and Communication
Technologies’ theme of the specific ‘Cooperation’ programme is to improve the
competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape
the future developments in ICTs in accordance with a long-term European ICT
strategy so that the demands of its society and economy are met and European
standards help shape the global ICT developments rather than being overtaken by
other growing global markets.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s
scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICTs, help
drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is
rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens, 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 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 new or improved organisational processes in
businesses and administrations alike. The ICT theme also supports other
policies of the Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities cover collaboration and exchange
of best practices with a view to setting common standards for the Union that
are compatible with, or set, a global standard, networking actions and national
programme coordination initiatives. This appropriation is also intended to
cover the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and
project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and
seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of
studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of
the specific programmes and of the framework programmes and the costs of
measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including
measures under previous framework programmes.

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, must be added to the appropriations entered
in this item. 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 the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex
to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an
integral part of the general budget.

Part of these appropriations is intended to
foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as an ICT strategy that
is not only able to compete with rapidly emerging ICT markets (e.g. in Asia),
but that can also set standards for global ICT policy-making in the interest of
European values, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best
practices for the advancement of research, development and innovation in the
field of ICT. Measures will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the
international community and will be complementary to existing mechanisms and
successful working relationships. The appropriations will be used to fund
innovative ventures between European and third countries. The scope of such
ventures will go beyond what could be undertaken by a single country and will
benefit both the Union and its partners in preparing their leading role for
setting future ICT standards. In implementing this action, the Commission will
ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies. It will help actors at a global
level to engage in research partnerships in order to foster innovation in the
field of ICT.

Remarks

Investing in knowledge is the best way for
Europe to foster sustainable growth in a global economy and 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 aims to enhance research
and innovation capacity throughout Europe and beyond through the emergence and
reinforcement of multidisciplinary European poles of excellence. In particular,
research infrastructures play a key role in supporting 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. These
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 Union to
investigate new areas of research suitable for EU 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. In this context, actions of coordination of, and support to,
strategies of international collaboration with developing and leading regions
are promoted for global research communities and towards the new e-Science
paradigm.

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, must be added to the appropriations entered in
this Article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions
from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement

—
— a database containing all information in
connection with commercial designations (codes from FAO nomenclatures, combined
nomenclatures, customs nomenclatures, health nomenclatures or INN); the
scientific names of species according to the FishBase system; names of species
in the official languages of the Member States and, possibly, accepted regional
or local designations);

—
— an expert system to analyse consistency
between the various designations and nomenclatures;

—
— a dedicated Internet site.

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 and the integrated maritime policy:

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

—
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
the integrated maritime policy.

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 common fisheries policy 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 the integrated maritime policy as well as for communication
activities addressed to the interested parties. Efforts will continue to be
made to inform the stakeholders and the specialised media in the new Member
States as well as in the countries joining the European Union in the
forthcoming enlargement about the common fisheries policy and the integrated
maritime policy.

Any revenue may give rise to the provision
of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial
Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
financing of a pilot project to develop collaborative research between
scientists and stakeholders and tools for a common governance and sustainable
fisheries management. The common fisheries policy reform presented in July 2011
identifies a number of priorities aimed at achieving ecological sustainability
as well as orientating governance of fisheries towards a regionalised
implementation of principles, defined at Union level. Regulations (EC) No
2371/2002 (OJ L 358, 31.12.2002, p. 59) and (EC) No 1967/2006 (OJ L 409,
30.12.2006, p. 11) set out the need to adopt management plans at national and
Union levels. Those management plans should be focused mostly on basins with
limited international waters and bordered by both Member States and third
countries; basins where the exchange of information and experience among
countries has already been undertaken, within multilateral operating entities,
and basins where morphological, environmental and economic conditions allow a
comparison of similar experiences, according to common parameters. As a good
example, the north-central Adriatic area, corresponding to the geographical sub-area
(GSA) 17 of FAO classification, demonstrates all three abovementioned basin
characteristics.

The objective of this pilot project is to
foster collaborative policy-oriented research in the fisheries sector involving
scientists and stakeholders, particularly fishermen, at the geographical level
of sea-basins and fisheries and aiming at improving the scientific knowledge
underpinning decisions on fisheries management strategies and options.

The
following tasks could be suitable for support under such a pilot framework:

—
collecting, storing and analysing of qualitative
and quantitative data and information which would appear to be necessary to
carry out assessments on fish stock and fisheries and which would be
complementary to those that are compulsory under the Data Collection Framework;
to that end, creating an important tool to support decisions of the Union and
national governments through the construction of a Geographic Informative
System (GIS); with this tool it will be possible to develop models, which
should represent best practice, hereby facilitating the activities of regional
planning and governance of the basins; the project seeks to ensure the
implementation and updating of the GIS, at various stages of acquisition,
loading, processing and analysis of data, with definition of procedures for
extraction and consultation of the basic components, using all data available
from every level, nationally and regionally; the basic requirement of the GIS
to unify existing databases held by different governments in order to improve
the interconnection and the flow of information now and in the future; the
dissemination and access to different levels and contents of the geodatabase
will be determined and adjusted on indications of the European Commission: any authorised
entity may have a series of information that allow evaluating the temporal
variation of different parameters,

—
building methodologies, models, approaches, etc.
allowing improvements in assessment of fish stocks, assessment of fisheries and
evaluation and assessment of management options, and/or further developments to
make an ecosystem approach to fisheries management operational and operable,

—
running evaluation and assessment processes,
particularly when backing the design and the follow-up of multiannual
management plans,

—
building up of forums where scientists and
fishermen can exchange knowledge in order to reduce the gap between their
diverging approaches.

The pilot
project should fulfil some specific conditions, such as:

—
being built at sea-basin or fishery levels,

—
favouring an integrated approach among
scientific fields linked to ecology, biology, technology and humanities,

—
favouring an inclusive, collaborative and
iterative way of working,

—
being oriented towards results that are likely
to be directly usable in the scientific expertise process and allowing
policymakers to make relevant and reliable choices in the decision-making
process,

—
not being duplicated with research projects or
studies already funded by or eligible for funding by the Seventh Framework
programme (FP7) or DG MARE's scientific studies programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
study work needed to underpin the developing maritime policy with sound facts
and analyses, as far as there are gaps and as far as this is necessary as a
basis for impact assessment and the preparation of future policy decisions.
This is notably the case regarding socio-economic and legal matters in the
maritime domain.

Three cross-cutting areas have been
identified so far for potential future action: ‘Maritime spatial planning’,
‘Integration and convergence of marine data collection systems’ and ‘Maritime
surveillance’. This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure for
carrying out feasibility studies with a view to elaborating future proposals in
these areas.

This appropriation is also intended to promote
integration of various systems for the monitoring and surveillance of the seas,
collate scientific data on the sea, and disseminate networks and best practices
in the field of maritime policy and the coastal economy.

Remarks

This
appropriation is intended to be used to:

—
assess the feasibility for making the best
possible use of active fishing vessels which need to be decommissioned from the
Community fleet and of fishermen's' experience and practical know-how to
benefit both of the fishermen themselves and society at large;

—
test under close to real-life conditions
conditions the technical and economical viability of redeploying — from fishing
to maritime activities — individuals who have been active in the sector as crew
members and who can no longer make their living from fishing and possess
maritime experience and knowledge at risk of being lost in case alternative sources
of income are sought in land-based activities;

—
test under close to real-life conditions the
feasibility of converting fishing vessels into vessels operating as a platform
for a number of environmental and maritime activities outside fishing, in
particular collecting marine litter;

—
identify under close to real-life conditions the
necessary operating costs of a vessel operating under such conditions and the
potential sources of funding; however, any such funding should be limited to
supporting the start-up of activities that are self-sustaining in the long
term;

—
identify the appropriate training needed for
fishermen in order to perform new duties and achieve useful results;

—
support reduction of fishing capacity in line
with CFP reform objectives by providing positive incentives for vessel-owners
and fishermen who leave the sector and encouraging them to find/develop
alternative activities at sea and/or in coastal areas;

—
encourage activities complementing fishing for
those fishermen staying in the sector;

—
identify the necessary administrative and legal
framework for collaborating with the relevant authorities and/or relevant
administrative bodies and for coordinating ‘Guardians of the Sea’ activities
with them;

—
test under close to real-life conditions the implementation
of the ’Guardians of the Sea’ concept in the next programming period.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Part of this appropriation is intended to
cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for ensuring the effective
functioning of the European Counterfeiting and Piracy Observatory.

These appropriations are also intended for
setting up a central coordination body assisting the Member States with market
surveillance cooperation, building on existing structures and experience. This
coordination body would support the cooperation, pooling of know-how and
sharing of best practices between Member States to ensure the same high level
of market surveillance throughout the European Union, in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9
July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market
surveillance relating to the marketing of products (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p.
30). To this end, regular joint trainings for representatives of national
market surveillance authorities from all Member States will be organised,
focusing on relevant practical aspects of market surveillance such as follow-up
of complaints, monitoring accidents, verifying that corrective action has been
taken, follow-up of scientific and technical knowledge concerning safety issues
and coordination with customs authorities. Furthermore, exchanges of national
officials and joint visit programmes will foster the exchange of experiences
between Member States. In addition, comparative data on the resources dedicated
to market surveillance in the different Member States will be collected and
discussed at the appropriate level with national authorities. The aim is to
create awareness for the adequate resources needed to guarantee efficient,
comprehensive and consistent market surveillance throughout the internal
market, and contribute to the upcoming revision of the Union product safety
rules, particularly those concerning market surveillance, and the preparation
of the follow-up to the Customs 2013 programme.

The appropriations shall be released when
the Commission delivers a detailed list of studies it will undertake under this
budget line in 2013 and provides the method for calculating the amounts
allocated for each study. The Commission shall also present a set of formal
criteria for the selection of these studies.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
expenditure arising in connection with measures for the management and
development of Solvit and for the implementation of the single market
assistance services action plan.

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 businesses, 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 which is accessible to
all coordination centres and to which citizens and business can directly submit
their problems.

However, Solvit like many other public
assistance services relating to Union issues is still not widely known among
potential users of the system. At the same time citizens and businesses are
often very confused about the right address for their requests for information,
assistance or problem solving. To remedy this, the Commission has announced, as
part of the single market review, that it will endeavour to create a single
web-based access point guiding citizens and business to the right service. In
October 2010 the Commission launched a new website, Your Europe, which provides
citizens and businesses with information, and sends them directly to relevant
services such as Solvit in the event that they need help. Your Europe, together
with the Europe Direct call centre, represents the single contact point for the
Solvit system. The Commission shall inform the competent committee of the
European Parliament in a yearly report about the frequency of use of the
contact point and possible measures to further improve it.

Member States should be urged to take
appropriate measures to notify their citizens about the provision of such a
single contact point.

Moreover, in the Commission's action plan
of 8 May 2008 on an integrated approach for providing Single Market Assistance
Services to citizens and businesses, a range of actions was proposed to
increase cooperation between the existing assistance services so that they can
offer a better, faster and more streamlined overall service to citizens and
businesses.

Promotion of all these services also needs
to take place in a more coordinated way to avoid citizens and businesses being
confused by too many brand names.

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

Remarks

The Single Market Forum (SMF) is an annual
event organised by the Commission with the European Parliament, which takes
place in the Member State holding the Union presidency, and brings together
representatives of citizens, businesses and consumer organisations as well as
representatives of the Member States and the Union institutions in order to
improve coordination and better governance of the single market. The debates
and workshops held during the SMF should deal with transposition, application
and enforcement of single market legislation, and should allow for exchange of
best practices between stakeholders and for informing citizens of their rights
in the single market.

Remarks

The financial and economic crisis has
significantly shaken the confidence of consumers, retail investors and SMEs in
the regulations that are meant to protect them from failings in the financial
system. Therefore, it is more essential than ever that the concerns of end
users and other non-industry stakeholders are taken into account in designing
initiatives that aim to restore citizens' confidence in the soundness of the
financial sector and in the ability of financial integration to deliver
concrete benefits to them.

This pilot project aims to enhance the
capacity of civil society organisations to participate in Union policymaking in
the area of financial services, with a view to providing policymakers with a
counterweight to the lobbies of the financial services sector and inform the
wider public of the issues at stake in the regulation of financial markets for
consumers, end-users, retail investors and other non-industry stakeholders.

Remarks

The Single Market Forum should be an annual
event, held preferably in the Member State which holds the EU Council
Presidency, which could be preceded by a number of regional content-oriented
preparatory events, organised jointly by the Commission, the European
Parliament and the Member State which holds the EU Council Presidency. The
event should be an important platform for the exchange of best practice between
stakeholders, informing citizens about their rights in the single market and
examining the state of the single market. It should bring together representatives
of citizen, business and consumer organisations as well as representatives of
the Member States and the EU institutions in order to establish a clear
commitment to the transposition, application and enforcement of single market
legislation. This should be a platform for discussing the Commission's
legislative proposals in the area of the single market and for presenting the
expectations of citizens, business and other stakeholders with regard to future
legislative proposals. The aim of this event should also be to tackle incorrect
transposition, misapplication and lack of enforcement of single market
legislation by improving coordination and governance of the single market. A
steering committee should be created, comprised of Members of the European Parliament
and representatives of the Commission and the Council Presidency-in-Office at
the time of the event, which should work out the organisational details for
Single Market Forum.

Remarks

This
appropriation is intended to finance the preparatory, monitoring,
administrative and technical support, evaluation, audit and inspection measures
necessary for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, as provided for in
Article 45 of that Regulation. In particular, it may be used to cover:

—
support expenditure (representation expenses,
training, meetings, missions),

—
information and publishing expenditure,

—
development of 'how-to guides' and toolkits
regarding applications for grants and implementation of projects,

—
expenditure on information technology and
telecommunications,

—
contract for the provision of services and
studies,

—
grants.

This appropriation is also intended to fund
measures approved by the Commission in the context of the preparation of the
next programming period.

This appropriation is also intended to
support administrative learning and cooperation with non-governmental
organisations and social partners.

In order to provide help and support for
local actors in the Union involved in running Structural Funds and Cohesion
Fund programmes — especially in the new Member States — the Commission should
propose a training and mobility scheme which would allow them to strengthen
their skills in running programmes and exchange best practices and ideas on the
problems they encounter on a regular basis. This would improve overall
governance and institutional capacity building for the management of programmes
and territorial policies.

The lack of efficient on-the-spot training
of local authority and local staff responsible for management of Union funds is
a major cause of procedural error, poor control and low absorption rates.
Establishing a network of trainers to work locally will increase cost
effectiveness and the efficiency of the policy.

Remarks

The aim of the pilot project is to produce
a complex analysis based on current understanding of the Roma community’s
situation in the Union, emphasising the entire complex and synergetic spectrum
of education and training, beginning with pre-school children, through the
further education of young mothers up to training for older people.

The pilot project should also reflect the
proper preparation and implementation of the institutional process in terms of
consultations, networking, data collection, evaluation, field visits, research,
etc. A number of Member States have taken measures to promote Roma integration.
Examples both of good and of bad practice are numerous, alongside a growing
corpus of sociological, legal and policy-oriented research.

A Roma Unit could be set up to explore,
from a Union policy implementation point of view, sectoral issues and propose
appropriate actions and measures to be included in the proposals for a Roma
Inclusion Action Plan.

It could also take on the task of examining
cross-sector cooperation and use of the existing different financial
instruments, proposing pilot projects and detecting transferable and
sustainable good practice which can then contribute to producing concrete
policy proposals.

In this context, reference can be made to
the need for long-term proposals on the housing and urban development aspects
(linked to issues of segregation, ghettoisation, etc., when badly prepared) in
connection with innovative use of regional funds and EIB/EBRD support, or the
huge issue of data collection (and protection), statistics, etc., but also the
obviously related issues of combating crime and trafficking, as well as basic
registration problems.

Particular attention has to be given to the
issue of media coverage and communication in general.

As an essential prerequisite for success, a
process of structured dialogue with Roma civil society has to be developed at
local, national and Union level.

The European Parliament has been a pioneer
in promoting Roma rights; its first resolution on the issue goes back to 1984.
During the sixth parliamentary term, the European Parliament has adopted a
number of resolutions on the specific situation of Roma in Europe. In
particular, in its resolution of 31 January 2008 on a European strategy on the
Roma (OJ C 68 E, 21.3.2009, p. 31), the European Parliament urged ‘the
Commission to develop a European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion aimed at
providing policy coherence at Union level as regards the social inclusion of
Roma and urges the Commission at the same time to comprehensively shape a
Community Action Plan on Roma Inclusion with the task of providing financial
support for realising the objective of the European Framework Strategy on Roma
Inclusion’. Also, in its resolution of 10 July 2008 on the census of the Roma
on the basis of ethnicity in Italy (OJ C 294 E, 3.12.2009, p. 54), the European
Parliament reiterated those requests and again called on the Commission and the
Member States, within the framework of a European Union Roma Strategy and in
the context of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, to enact legislation and
policies to support Roma communities while promoting their integration in all
fields, to launch anti-racism and anti-discrimination programmes in schools,
employment and the media and to enhance the exchange of expertise and best
practices.

The European Parliament reiterates in this
context the importance of developing strategies at Union and national level,
making full use of the opportunities provided by Union funds, to abolish Roma
segregation in education, to ensure equal access to quality education for Roma
children (participation in mainstream education, introduction of special
scholarship and trainee programmes, additional and concrete measures to promote
pre-school education for Roma children and postgraduate studies at national and
international level for Roma students as well as educating an effective group
of ‘Roma diplomats’ able to bridge the gap between Roma communities and public
institutions), to ensure and improve Roma access to labour markets, to provide
equal access to health care and social security benefits, to combat
discriminatory practices in the provision of housing, and to increase the
participation of the Roma in social, economic, cultural and political life.

The European Parliament reaffirms the need
to set up a network of academic and civil experts with a clear mandate to
propose specific pilot projects and elaborate projects triggering immediate
changes.

The aim of the pilot project is also to
ensure the integrated education of Roma families, focusing simultaneously on
the early integration of children in pre-school education, the training of
parents and the conducting of community activities for the whole family, also
with a view to improving adults’ passive skills.

In its conclusions of 14 December 2007, the
European Council, ‘conscious of the very specific situation faced by the Roma
across the Union’, invited ‘Member States and the Union to use all means to
improve their inclusion’. In its conclusions of 19 and 20 June 2008, it stated
that ‘…it looks forward to the results (…) of the forthcoming conference on
this issue to be held in September [2008]. It invites the Council to take this
into account in its examination of the revised Social Agenda. The European
Council will return to this issue before the end of the year’.

Remarks

The objective of this pilot project is to
provide help and support for local and regional councils in the Union.

The first principle of the pilot project is
to encourage and support the mobility of both elected local and regional
representatives within the Union. The second principle of the pilot project is
that the mobility element is included in an agreed programme of on-the-spot
training and sharing of experience with focus on ‘economic and social
cohesion’.

Goals are:

—
to encourage multilateral cooperation between
territorial and local and regional institutions on a political level,

—
to support the mobility of elected local and
regional representatives,

—
to stimulate common research and exchange of
ideas on the problems they encounter on a regular basis by means of on-the-spot
training and the sharing of experience,

—
to promote the exchange of best practices.

The pilot project is thus a tool to enhance
the learning and experience of elected local and regional representatives;  and
to increase the capacity of local and regional councils in regard to the
application of concepts, democratic principles and strategies.

Union regional policy for third countries. This strategy should include the
organisation of international events, information activities, network building
between regional and local stakeholders, development of joint projects and new
regional partnerships, as well as the exchange of good practices between
regions. By promoting the Union cohesion policy model as a success story
through a number of regional dialogues, the Union will use these actions to
exemplify and advance its values, fundamental principles, organisational
structures and policies on a global scale. Cooperation with international
organisations active in this field (Forum of Global Associations of Regions
(FOGAR) and United Cities and Local Government (UCLG) will prove to be
particularly beneficial to that end.

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 (CIP), 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 Europe 2020
Strategy 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 (OJ C 175 E, 10.7.2008, p. 392), 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 Union financial institution which
specialises in small and medium-sized enterprise and micro-enterprise funding
and which also administers the Union financial instruments,

—
foster greater synergy between existing
financial instruments covering inter-related areas (CIP, Joint European
Resources for Micro to Medium Enterprises (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.

The purpose of the appropriation is to
cover the implementation of the preparatory action adopted for 2008; it will be
used, in particular, to develop a seed fund for non-banking institutions.

Remarks

The pilot project aims to support the
demolition and reconstruction of obsolete and deteriorated buildings within the
suburbs of European cities, testing the introduction of innovative and advanced
criteria for constructive safety, engineering quality, sustainability and
energy efficiency. The main objective is to promote social integration in the
suburbs through an intervention in housing policy.

The project
should finance:

—
the selection of at least five testing suburbs
of European cities, highly populated, in which there is a strong need for
building regeneration interventions,

—
the definition of advanced safety requirements
with a view to each specific context (i.e. anti-seismic measures) and of
quality requirements for the residential structures, engineering and
construction, including the design of private and common spaces, the selection
of materials, technical solutions, etc.,

—
the definition of energy saving targets and
energy mix with a higher usage of renewable sources for the new residential
buildings,

—
the selection of the most effective mix of
financial tools to promote the regeneration of deteriorated urban areas and the
innovation in the construction industry (revolving funds, regional aid, tax
rates bonification, public-private partnership, etc.),

—
the definition of a set of measures to offer
temporary housing alternatives to the residents of the testing sites areas and
the involvement of them and of the local communities in the redesigning
process,

—
the definition of an evaluation model to monitor
and evaluate the project outcome,

—
the start-up of regeneration programmes in the
testing areas.

The aim of this preparatory action is to
develop a partnership model(s) for towns or cities and rural areas surrounding
them, to achieve better cooperation between different actors in developing and
implementing common urban-rural initiatives based on the integrated approach.
The model(s) could be used in the next programming period for urban-rural
development projects co-funded by the Union.

More
specifically, the preparatory action should aim to:

—
identify common challenges and potentials of
urban and rural areas,

—
review existing urban-rural partnerships in the
Member States, identify areas of cooperation and local/regional actors involved
(public, private, non-governmental organisations, etc.),

—
identify innovative good practice examples of
urban-rural cooperation in existing partnerships,

—
create a model/models for an urban-rural
partnership and elaborate a practical guide for this partnership to be possibly
used in the Commission's Strategic Guidelines on cohesion for the next
programming period after 2013.

The preparatory action should be
implemented in the years 2011-2012.

Remarks

This preparatory action aims to develop a
comprehensive strategy that would promote knowledge of, and disseminate
experience gained from, Union regional policy for third countries, on the basis
of the successful implementation of the earlier pilot project, as well as to
address the specific needs of the Union’s ultra-peripheral territories which do
not have the status of outermost regions during switchover to the status
of outermost regions. The international dimension of cohesion policy
matured considerably since 2009 as a result, largely, of the additional
opportunities afforded by the resources provided under the pilot project and
the 2012 preparatory action. The current preparatory action needs to be
continued in 2013 with an appropriate allocation, as the policy dialogues with
main partners (Brazil, China and Russia), as well as support for implementation
of the Eastern Partnership have to be constantly developed in order to advance
the principles, organisational structures and mechanisms of EU cohesion policy

regional governance, running training programmes in place-based policy design
and strategic planning, as well as on procedural questions regarding control

Starting date of the project: 1 January 2011.

End date of the project: 31 December 2013.

The European Council of 19 June 2009 has
formally asked the Commission to present a European Union Strategy for the
Danube Region before the end of 2010. The strategy, which will be launched
under the Hungarian Presidency of the European Union, at the beginning of 2011,
will be accompanied by an action plan, which will be permanently developed and
updated taking into account the proposal from the Member States. Article 3 of
the Treaty on European Union improves the Union's ability to promote economic,
social and territorial cohesion, and solidarity among Member States. This
preparatory action is needed in order to develop the necessary capacity building
and to speed up the coordination process to ensure the right governance model
for the implementation of the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region.

The Danube Region has an established
history of networking and co-operation in many policy areas. The strategy and
its action plan will offer the opportunity to move from words to action and to
deliver real benefits for the region as a whole. There is a need for a common
strategic vision to guide future territorial development for the Danube Region.
It is clear that no one acting alone can apply the range of measures necessary
to confront the challenges and exploit the opportunities of the region. A
strategy for the Danube Region, consisting of detailed and consistent actions,
with an appropriate financial support are essential to develop the Danube
Region and to fully exploit the opportunities open to the region.

The Danube links ten European countries —
Germany, Austria, the Slovak Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania,
Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine — six of which are Member States,
and in a broader territorial context the region also comprises the Czech
Republic, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

The Danube region is an important crossover
point between the Union's Cohesion Policy programmes, programmes for countries
covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy and potential candidates for
accession, and therefore represents an area where enhanced synergies between
different Union policies can be developed: cohesion, transport, tourism,
agriculture, fisheries, economic and social development, energy, environment,
enlargement and neighbourhood policy and the European Union Strategy for the
Danube Region is to be developed in the following cooperation areas: social
development and protection, sustainable economic development, transport and
energy infrastructure, environmental protection, culture and education.

The European Union Strategy for the Danube
Region should be implemented by making use of all available funding resources,
from the Union, Member States and other riparian countries, International
Financial Institutions (IFI), as well as private capital. The focus should be
on improved, more efficient and effective ways to coordinate the different
funding instruments and the proposed specific actions. It is expected that the
European Union Strategy for the Danube Region through a better cooperation
between Member States and Danube riparian countries, will boost the social and
economic development of the region. This will create new business
opportunities, will accelerate the development of sustainable, more efficient
and intermodal transport system as well as for a sustainable transport and
tourism and will improve the quality of life of all citizens living in the
Danube river basin with full respect of the environment.

The preparatory action thus shall promote
or create a governance model to be implemented in the specific areas concerning
the Danube Region.

The funding
is intended to finance activities related to the definition of the governance
model required by the development and implementation of the European Union
Strategy for the Danube Region. The governance model will improve the
cooperation between all participant countries and regions to common flagship projects
in the field of:

—
environmentally friendly use of the Danube by
inland navigation, intermodality with other transport modes along the Danube
through the improvement of all infrastructures (with priority for the better
use of existing infrastructure) and by creating a multi-modal transport system
all along the river, environmentally-friendly use of water power along the
Danube, preservation and improvement of Danube water quality in accordance with
the Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23
October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of
water policy (OJ L 327, 22.12.2000, p. 1), stringent vessel safety
requirements,

—
sustainable tourism: ecotourism, the development
of the cycle routes along almost the entire Danube, development of the
conventional mass cultural tourism, urban and rural tourism, business and
cruise tourism, sports tourism,

—
joint projects (to promote and implement) in
order to increase cooperation in the field of energy, especially on energy
efficiency and renewable energy resources, in the light of the region's
potential as a source of bioenergy, and to encourage the use of biomass, solar,
wind and hydro energy,

—
promoting research infrastructure tailored to
the specific strengths of the regions and of specific clusters of excellence
for product innovation and marketing,

—
a common research and development programme in,
and for, the Danube Region and which is aimed at supporting scientific
development and innovation by ensuring cooperation between Danube states in
fields of environmental research, fisheries, agriculture, infrastructure
(including the energy field), transport, training and mobility for researchers
and socioeconomic aspects,

—
university exchange programmes within the region
and university networks in order to foster centres of excellence capable of
competing at international level and to strengthen the Danube identity through
training and improving governance, life long learning,

—
ensuring the security of the region.

The European Union Strategy for the
Danube Region — Not just a strategy

There must be — concrete, visible actions —
to overcome the challenges facing the region. In its action plan, the
Commission should insist that Member States and other stakeholders take responsibility
as lead partners for specific priority areas and flagship projects, for
example, by developing a specific and integrated governance in line with a
common and integrated approach to the European Union Strategy for the Danube
Region adopted by the Commission on 8 December 2010.

The Commission will fulfil the need for an
independent, multi-sector body/approach that can guarantee the necessary
co-ordination, monitoring and follow-up of the action plan, as well as a
regular updating of the plan and strategy as necessary. The Commission is not
proposing additional funding or other resources at this time. However, some of
the specific actions and projects will require financial support. A major
source is the Structural Funds available in the region – most programmes
already allow actions envisaged in the strategy. Programming authorities can
review the allocation criteria and facilitate the selection of projects aligned
with the strategy. In addition, Member States will examine funding projects and
actions aligned with the strategy priorities from their own resources. The
European Investment Bank and other international and regional financial
institutions could also contribute.

Enhanced efforts through the action plan
should be carried out in close coordination with any such ongoing developments
(in particular new regulations), including at Union level, to ensure coherence
and efficiency.

The on-going economic crisis implies a
less-favourable climate for investment, affecting both public sectors and private
business generally. This makes it all the more essential that the European
Union Strategy for the Danube Region allows the partners in the region to take
a longer perspective, recognising that when this crisis has passed the regions
that have best prepared will be those best equipped to take advantage of the
new opportunities and innovations.

This preparatory action, established on the
initiative of the European Parliament, is to have a duration of three years,
from January 2011 to December 2013, and the amount to be allocated is EUR 1 500
000 per year.

The above projects will require
time-intensive preparations with the Member States concerned and with relevant
authorities of the third countries. First disbursements took place in 2011.

Based upon the existing legal framework,
this preparatory action, presents solutions for the sustainable cooperation
between Member States and other riparian countries. It substantiates the
development of the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region and its
integration into the overall policy of the Union.

This
appropriation should also be used to organise or develop:

—
training programmes, seminars for young people
with the aim of emphasising the common regional identity of the nations living
in the Danube macro-region; the programmes should stress civic education and
opportunities for cultural exchanges which will contribute to a progressive ,
sustainable European future-oriented dimension of coexistence by addressing the
questions of understanding each other's regional presence, togetherness and the
need for cooperation; and by providing scope for dialogues and reconciliation.

—
the improvement and development of new solutions
for handling expertise by means of accessible common platforms and project
information as well as building networks. The preparatory action will promote
social and economic stability in the regions concerned, including actions to
develop cohesion between communities by means of opening space for
familiarising with, and giving due acknowledgement to, each other's cultures
and histories and will also highlight the added value of transnational
cooperation. This should create a sustainable basis for a common platform
giving access to regional expertise and increasing regional cooperation and
should in addition allow lessons to be drawn from the experience of a
macro-region strategy.

—
the eligible area shall be the Danube
macro-region and the surrounding countries in line with the European
Neighbourhood Policy. The organisation of programmes should involve nongovernmental
organisations, civil society organisations, in order to ensure that
reconciliation efforts go also beyond the governmental sphere. The programmes
eligible for funds shall involve participants from at least three Member States
from the region.

Remarks

Union institutions support the drafting of
a European strategy for the Atlantic area. A cross-cutting action plan with
concrete priorities needs to be defined in order to implement this strategy from
2014 onwards. Atlantic stakeholders should be involved in the drafting of this
action plan.

The action plan should be closely linked to
regional policy and the Integrated Maritime Policy, and should also facilitate
synergies with other Union policy areas such as trans-European transport
networks, the common fisheries policy, climate and environment actions, the
research and development framework programme, and energy policy, etc.

The preparatory action will finance a
stakeholder dialogue platform, called the Atlantic Forum, to define the
priority projects and governance of the Atlantic Strategy.

Funding for
the preparatory action will serve to:

—
put in place the Atlantic Forum, encouraging key
stakeholders to work together within workshops and ensuring adequate publicity
and broad participation,

—
engage forum members in a process leading to the
adoption of the cross-cutting action plan for the Atlantic Strategy in
accordance with the needs of the regions concerned and a clear focus on
sustainable growth in Atlantic coastal regions and maritime sectors,

—
support the technical work necessary to
identify, and test the feasibility of, concrete priority actions to be included
in the action plan.

A subcontractor will assist stakeholders in
drafting the action plan. The subcontractor will be in charge of implementing
the preparatory action and will work under the supervision of the Commission.

The preparatory action has financed a
platform for stakeholder dialogue (the Atlantic Forum), with a view to defining
the priority projects and governance of the Atlantic Strategy.

After adoption of the action plan at the
end of 2012, the Forum will seek to prepare stakeholders to implement that
plan. It is therefore necessary to extend the preparatory action until 2013.

The preparatory
action funding will serve to:

—
put in place the Atlantic Forum by encouraging
key stakeholders to work together within workshops, and by ensuring adequate
publicity and broad participation;

—
engage Forum members in a process leading
towards the adoption of the transversal action plan, to be provided for by the
Atlantic Strategy, in accordance with the needs of the regions and a clear
focus on sustainable growth in the coastal regions and the maritime sectors in
the Atlantic;

—
support the technical work necessary to identify
and test the feasibility of concrete priority actions to be included in the
action plan;

—
prepare stakeholders to implement the action
plan.

Article 13 03 33 — Preparatory
action — Supporting Mayotte, or any other territory potentially affected, with
the switchover to outermost-region status

Remarks

The plan to change Mayotte’s status from
overseas country or territory to outermost region is the first of its kind for
the Union. The process of making this status change has been simplified by the
entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Article 355(6) of which provides for a unanimous vote on the matter in the
European Council. The French Government is currently drawing up an application
for Mayotte to be granted outermost region status from 2014. This places
Mayotte in a similar situation to that of pre-accession countries, which are
required to carry out essential structural reforms in connection with which the
Union provides various types of support intended to facilitate the
transposition of the acquis and the implementation of Union policies. As
a result of the change of status, the local authorities in Mayotte will be
required to handle new types of Union funding involving different amounts and
different procedures from those applying under the European Development Fund
(EDF), their current source of funding. This preparatory action will focus
primarily on technical assistance measures for the training of Mayotte
administrative staff who will be responsible for drawing up, managing,
following up and monitoring future operational programmes. As a territory of a
Member State, Mayotte is not entitled to pre-accession instrument funding; at
the same time, given that it is not yet a region as referred to in the general
provisions on the Structural Funds, it is not entitled to technical assistance
either.

The aim of the preparatory action is to
provide the department of Mayotte with support with its changeover to the
status of outermost region.

A number of
measures are needed:

—
the training of local staff who will be
responsible for drawing up, managing, following up and monitoring future
operational programmes,

—
carrying out of studies prior to drawing up
future operational programmes, plus ex-ante evaluation so as to produce
an analysis of the area and provide support for local actors in order to lay
down a regional strategy and programme priorities,

—
organising of general information meetings for
elected representatives, local actors and officials on the consequences of the
changeover to outermost-region status, and institutional notification
arrangements concerning the launch of programmes,

—
setting up of a Europe unit within Mayotte’s
economic and regional affairs secretariat for information gathering and
circulation to public partners, for setting up and implementing operational
programmes and for informing and supporting project promoters.

This preparatory action may apply to any
other territory in a similar position.

Remarks

The objective of this preparatory action is
to provide help and support for local and regional councils in the Union.

The first principle of the preparatory
action is to encourage and support the mobility of both elected local and
regional representatives within the Union. The second principle of the
preparatory action is that the mobility element is included in an agreed
programme of on-the-spot training and sharing of experience with focus on
‘economic and social cohesion’.

Goals are:

—
to encourage multilateral cooperation between
territorial and local and regional institutions on a political level,

—
to support the mobility of elected local and
regional representatives,

—
to stimulate common research and exchange of
ideas on the problems they encounter on a regular basis by means of on-the-spot
training and the sharing of experience,

—
to promote the exchange of best practices.

The preparatory action is thus a tool to
enhance the learning and experience of elected local and regional
representatives, and to increase the capacity of local and regional councils in
regard to the application of concepts, democratic principles and strategies.

Remarks

In
accordance with the decision for an integrated programme in the field of
lifelong learning, this appropriation is intended to cover the following
specific programmes and horizontal actions:

—
Comenius: for general education activities
concerning schools up to and including upper-secondary level,

—
Erasmus: for education and advanced training
activities at higher education level, increase in the number of scholarships
and funding for them under the Erasmus programmes,

—
Leonardo da Vinci: for all aspects of vocational
education and training,

—
Grundtvig: for adult education,

—
Jean Monnet: projects stimulating teaching,
research and debate on the European integration process at higher education
institutions and operating grants to certain key institutions and associations,

—
a cross-cutting programme: incorporating four
key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language
learning and activity related to information and communication technologies
where these fall outside the specific programmes, and to provide a better
dissemination service.

Special
education needs for persons suffering from disabilities or ‘dys’ conditions can
be addressed in all the abovementioned sectoral programmes.

—
Brain trust: One
part of the increase is intended to support Brain trust, an on-line
knowledge-sharing tool for university students where each student can have a
profile page displaying his or her ‘academic CV’, including study courses,
publications, references used and keywords to indicate interests of the
student. Brain trust platform will give students an overview of their studies
and an opportunity to communicate and cooperate based on their academic
interests across countries, universities, disciplines and levels of education,
regardless of their current institutional affiliation and geographical
location. The platform contributes to the strengthening of a pan-European
identity and awareness among the young generation of European citizens. It will
create an online European dimension to national systems of higher education,
supporting the aims of developing the Community as a knowledge society, as set
out in the Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013, and contributing to the
creation of a European Area of Higher Education as part of the Bologna Process.

—
Early Science and Technology Education in
Europe: One part of the increase is intended to
support a project or action for the enhancement of Early Science and Technology
Education in Europe. Vision: In the 1st formative period (age 3-6) all children
make first experiences with basic science concepts in order to feed their
intrinsic curiosity. The action is aimed at supporting Member States in the
development of national strategies in the field of early science education.

—
European University Institute (EUI): One part of the increase is intended to cover, inter alia,
supplementary expenditures relating to the activities of the EUI in accordance
with Article 36.2b of the decision No. 1720/2006 CE establishing the Lifelong
Learning Programme. A complementary contribution should be allocated to the
EUI's Global Governance Programme. The Programme started in 2010 and is now
consolidating and expanding its activities. The increase will further improve
and widen the PhD training with respect to global governance and world affairs
at the EUI; enlarge the European Academy of Global Governance devoted to top
level training, discussion and debates; enhance the community of junior
post-doctoral fellows specialised in these areas; attract to the EUI a
significant number of senior scholars drawn from Member States' universities
and research centres and from international institutions; further increase the
number of interrelated strands of basic and applied research on issues of
global governance; promote and support a variety of events, conferences and
High-Level Policy Seminars on issues of global governance; and further
consolidate the European Network of Global Governance as well as the
dissemination activities of the programme.

Part of the appropriations should be used
for the promotion of the university education of students with a Roma
ethnic background in order to provide them comprehensive support to
address their unique challenges and to prevent their drop-out in tertiary
education; the support should include scholarships, mentoring, tutoring and
additional training in professional development and language competences.

A part of these appropriations should also
fund Qualified Master Degree within eligible European universities, which shall
be an important tool in the frame of the automatic recognition by all Member
States and which must implement a common Master core curriculum. A European
label of Qualified Master Degree will be delivered on the basis of the
compliance with quality criteria of excellence. The initiative will foster
academic recognition of Master degrees across the EU and will represent an
important instrument in the goal of the realization of an effective European
Higher Education Area, as it's been stressed by the recent Bologna Process
Ministerial Conference of Bucharest in April 2012 and by the EP initiative
report of March 2012. It will be implemented by universities of different
Member States and will have, as a side outcome, the comparability of curricula,
programs and learning outcomes of the corresponding bachelor degrees.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from
contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of

The recently revised European Neighbourhood
Policy, in the light of the Arab Spring, as projected by the Commission, the
Council and the European Parliament in their respective decisions and
resolutions, and in view of the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern
Partnership, both of which relate directly to the Southern and Eastern
Neighbourhood respectively, requires preparing, on a regular bases future
European and neighbouring countries interlocutors, i.e. personnel for
EU-ENP-related jobs. They should be fully and professionally acquainted on regular
basis with the substance and spirit of EU policies, EU law and EU institutions
and the acquis communautaire, and thus the ENP. This necessitates a focused and
sophisticated offer, which can be delivered only by a highly recognized
academic institution already specializing in this field that is the College of
Europe. The two campuses of the College of Europe – one in Bruges, Belgium,
close to the Brussels institutions and expertise, the other in Natolin/Warsaw,
Poland, specializing in neighbourhood and border policies (with the Frontex
agency being based in Warsaw) in the framework of the ENP Chair, already
established thanks to the EU funding – are best-placed to offer tailor-made
programs and other educational modules in this regard. .

Given the accumulated and positive
experience of this PA the European Commission should guarantee that under new
Multiannual Financial Framework this budgetary line with its own specific aims
will continue in a sustainable way.

This appropriation is intended to cover

This preparatory action will prepare for a
programme in the field of sport for post-2013. It will test the feasibility and
usefulness of existing ideas and concepts, with a view to creating a European
dimension in sport.

The
objective of this preparatory action is to test European partnerships, networks
and the exchange of good practices. It will, in particular, focus on the
following:

—
fairness in sport competitions by supporting
measures that prevent phenomena such as match-fixing;

—
physical and moral integrity of sportsmen and
sportswomen, and training conditions for minors;

—
the role of sport as an health-enhancing
physical activity, in particular for elderly people;

—
awareness-raising for protection of the health
of young athletes through monitoring and medical check ups;

—
mobility in sport, namely of volunteers, coaches
and staff of non-profit sport organisations.

—
awareness-raising activities as regards the
social and educational function of sport;

—
cross-border joint sport competitions in
neighbouring regions and Member States;

—
raising awareness of, and gathering information
on, ‘indigenous sports’ that form part of the shared cultural heritage in
Europe;

—
social inclusion and projects that support the
local community; a sport organisation can prove its added value also outside
sport-related issues.

In all of these areas, local needs with
regard to population and age structure, inclusion, integration, accessibility,
social isolation, fitness and health must be taken into consideration.

Part of the appropriations should support
the European Capital of Sport initiative, set up by ACES Europe (Association of
European Capitals and Cities of Sport), namely with a view of improving the
governance of the organisation, especially the selection and award procedures,
enlarging the geographical coverage and raising the profile of this initiative.

Remarks

Europe needs to become more attractive to
researchers, in order to increase its capacity and performance in research and
technological development, while consolidating and further developing 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 diverse, attractive career prospects is needed.

The added value of the support provided by
the specific ‘People’ programme (implemented through the Marie Curie Actions,
the Researchers’ Night and the EURAXESS action) is the promotion of the
international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility of researchers as a
key driver for European Innovation. Marie Curie Actions also foster stronger
cooperation between education, research and businesses from different countries
in the training and career development of researchers to broaden their skills
and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. The Marie Curie Actions reinforce a
closer partnership between education and businesses in order to increase
knowledge exchange and enhance PhD training adapted to the needs of industry.
By promoting employment conditions in line with the European researchers’
charter and code, they contribute to making a research career in Europe more
attractive.

Remarks

This preparatory action for European
research grants for journalists is intended to facilitate and develop serious
cross-border journalistic research at Union level. Calls for tenders will be
organised with a view to selecting common investigation projects involving
journalists from at least two Member States, with a cross-border or European
dimension resulting from a national, regional or local perspective. The results
of the journalistic investigation selected will be published in at least all
the Member States involved.

For this purpose, a feasibility study will
be set-up in order to find new ways to launch this project. The study must look
at ways in which independent, critical journalism can be funded by the EU,
while ensuring the independence of information.

Remarks

Social media and the internet have
drastically changed access to information and communication between people. The
Union institutions should improve the way they use these groundbreaking tools.
The Union institutions are not, as yet, very present on social media networks
such as Twitter and Facebook and there is no joint communication policy between
the various institutions on the use of these tools.

This Pilot project aims at refocusing the
Union’s communication strategy towards social networks, internet and mobile
services. Its objective is to improve access to information on Union policies,
to involve European citizens in sharing their Union experience and to involve
European citizens in the Union’s decision-making process.

With this Pilot project, the intention is
to invest in a joint new media strategy on access to information and
communication by the three main Union institutions.

Implementation of the project should take
place on the basis of jointly agreed working methods between the involved EU
institutions.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article
49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
specifically the opening and management of ‘European Public Spaces’ (EPS) in
the Europe Houses that are formally hosting the EPS. The Commission is to
manage the logistical arrangements for the EPS for the benefit of both
institutions (the European Parliament and the Commission), including operational
costs and the organisation of contracted services. The EPS must be run jointly
by the two institutions on the basis of an assessment report on the management
and the functioning of the EPS, as well as of a working programme for the year
to come. Both these documents, which are drafted jointly by the two
institutions and constitute the fundamental elements for allocation of funds
for the following year, are to be presented to the budgetary authorities in
time to be taken into account in the budgetary procedure.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund
communication activities mainly around communication priorities at Commission
level and at Union level.

This appropriation is intended primarily to
cover the provision of information to citizens, as far as possible in their
mother tongue, about the Union’s present and future options and involving them
in a debate on this subject.

It covers in
particular activities such as:

—
communication operations linked to specific
annual or multiannual communication priorities,

—
ad hoc communication operations on a national or
international scale that fit in with the communication priorities,

—
communication operations organised in
partnership with the European Parliament and/or the Member States in order to
create synergies between the means of each partner and to coordinate their
information and communication activities on the European Union. One of the
privileged tools to address this approach is the management partnership.

This appropriation also covers the
repayment of travel and related expenses of persons invited to follow the work
of the Commission.

Implemented in close cooperation between
the Union institutions and the authorities in the Member States and/or civil
society, these activities take account of specific national and regional
features.

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
the Union’s 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.

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

The amount of assigned revenue in
accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated
at EUR 50 000.

Remarks

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

The main
types of tool concerned are:

—
the Europa site, which must constitute the main
point of access to the existing information and websites concerning the
administrative information which European citizens might need in their daily
lives and which therefore must be better structured and made more
user-friendly,

—
the Europe Direct contact centre
(00800-67891011),

—
the internet sites, multimedia and written
products of the Commission Representations in the Member States,

—
online press releases, speeches, memos, etc.
(RAPID).

This appropriation is intended to fund the
restructuring of the Europa site in a more coherent way. It is also intended to
cover information campaigns for facilitating access to these sources of
information, especially for the Europe Direct telephone number.

This
appropriation also covers the expenditure relating to the production for
various target groups of written publications concerning the Union’s activities
that are often distributed through a decentralised network, mainly:

—
the Representations’ publications (paper
newsletters and periodicals): each Representation produces one or more
publications that are distributed among multipliers and cover various fields
(social, economic and political),

—
the dissemination (also through a decentralised
network) of specific basic information on the European Union (in all the official
Union languages) for the general public, coordinated from headquarters, and
promotion of the publications,

—
the production and distribution of the 2013/2014
Europa Diary for school pupils.

Publishing costs cover, among other things,
preparation and drafting (including authors’ fees), freelance editing, use of
documentation, reproduction of documents, data purchase or management, editing,
translation, revision (including checking the concordance of texts), printing,
posting on the internet or installation in any other electronic medium,
distribution, storage, dissemination and promotion of the publications.

The Commission, when implementing this
budget line, should take duly into account the outcomes of the meetings of the
Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI).

Irrespective of the beneficiary, no

Remarks

1. Objective

The goal of this project is to develop a
service concept and later a technology platform and service that can be used by
any deaf or hard-of-hearing citizen within the European Union to assist them
with real-time live sign language interpretation by a certified sign language
interpreter or a real-time captioning service (financed by the respective
member state or European institution) in order to enable independent
communication with the institutions of the European Union, such as the European
Parliament or the European Commission. This entails that the overall goal is to
develop an internet- and hand-held-device-based service and IT application that
connects deaf and hard-of-hearing people to accredited sign language
interpreters and captioners during their interaction with the EU institutions,
such as the European Parliament and the European Commission.

Justification of the project refers to the
fact that there is currently no direct communication access for deaf citizens,
including deaf or hard of hearing MEPs and administrators, with the
institutions of the European Union, and a sign language interpreter is almost
always needed to enable a deaf or hard-of-hearing citizen to access the
institutions. Usually an interpreter would accompany her/him during the visit
to the institution, requiring huge organizational efforts and creating very
high costs for everyone involved.

This proposed Pilot Project shall ensure
the direct communication access to all EU institutions for the almost one
million deaf citizens and 60 to 80 million hard-of-hearing people using
different sign languages in all member states (28).

This Pilot project is suggested in regards
to the EP Resolution on Sign Language for the Deaf (18.07.1988), the Resolution
on Sign Languages (07/12/1998) as well as the Resolution 2010/2272 (INI) on
mobility and inclusion of people with disabilities and the European Disability
Strategy 2010-2020 (06.06.2011).

2. Implementation

The project should first extract insights
into the current communication situation of deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens
with public institutions, as well as research state-of-the-art relevant
communication technologies.

The project should then apply a
collaborative and participative approach to create concepts such as an
interactive interpretation and captioning service by involving deaf and
hard-of-hearing citizens from all over Europe with the involvement and active
partnership of the European Union of the Deaf (EUD), in this project, resulting
in a service concept created by the actual end users.

Finally, the project should implement the
developed concept into a live and freely launched application, resulting in a
real-time translation system that can be accessed free of charge for the users
from the web, smart phones, or other hand-held devices.

The service platform and application can
first be used for the institutions of the European Union, such as the European
Parliament and the European Commission, and can later be offered to
participating member states on a voluntary basis for use within their own
public institutions.

3. Forecast for 2013

The overall timeline for this Pilot Project
is estimated with 14 months and a total budget of 1.1 million Euros, which
includes full implementation of the IT application and building up of the
service platform free of charge.

The completion of the project, including
implementation of the real-time system, is scheduled by January 2014. This
would benefit the over 1 million deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens in Europe,
as they can use the system prior to the upcoming European Parliament Election
in June 2014, enabling them to communicate directly with the institutions of
the European Union and fully participate in the democratic process.

49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the

Remarks

The pilot project will initiate a process
in which central figures and opinion makers from the creative sector will be
brought together to formulate a new narrative on Europe. The task will be to
qualify and reinterpret the existing narrative of peace through trade across
borders — to identify a new EU vision that is not solely about economy and
growth, but also about cultural unity (community) and values. The task is to
identify the European values and cultural aspects that unite citizens. This is
needed if citizens are to believe in the EU project and if we are to strengthen
public support.

The group will examine what the current
perception of Europe is and come up with concrete suggestions on how to create
a new identity for Europe containing a new narrative. This narrative should correspond
to the history and core values of the EU and describe the cultural aspects that
unite citizens in Europe.

The process should be administered
professionally so as to make sure that the work of the group is carried out in
a controlled manner, with the aim of coming up with a manifesto.

Aims of the
pilot project

—
— to produce a new narrative on Europe founded
on the narrative of peace through trade;

—
— to create a narrative which will place Europe
in a global context according to the new world order.;

—
—to revive the European spirit and bring the EU
closer to its citizens;

—
—to show the value of the EU to its citizens;

—
—to identify the cultural values that unite
citizens across borders;

—
—to finally formulate this narrative in a
manifesto.

New item

The general purpose of the European Year
shall be to enhance awareness of the rights attached to Union citizenship, in
order to help citizens make full use of their right to move and reside freely
within the territory of the Member States.

In this context, the European Year shall
focus, among others, on the opportunities for civic participation and access to
rights by Union citizens residing in another Member State than their own, by
students, workers, consumers, and providers of goods and services across the
Union.

On this basis,
the specific objectives of the European Year shall be:

—
to raise Union citizens’ awareness of their
right to move and reside freely within the European Union and more generally
the rights guaranteed to Union citizens in cross-border situations, including
their right to participate in the democratic life of the Union,

—
to raise Union citizens’ awareness of how they
can tangibly benefit from Union rights and policies while living in another
Member State, and to stimulate their active participation in civic forums on
Union policies and issues,

—
to stimulate a debate about the impact and
potential of the right to free movement, as an inalienable aspect of Union
citizenship, in particular in terms of strengthening societal cohesion and
mutual understanding between Union citizens and the bond between citizens and
the Union.

Remarks

The
objective of the preparatory action is to enable the establishment of the
European Civil Society House (ECSH) physically as a resource centre and advice
bureau on European rights and civic participation for both citizens and civil
society organizations (CSOs) and as a user-friendly space for brainstorming,
ideas exchange and networking of like-minded individuals concerned about
Europe’s future. In order to achieve this goal there is a need to:

—
– Broaden the ECSH partnership base with key
organizations on EU and national level that are interested to share the
physical space of the ECSH or become national contact points providing services
in different languages.

—
– Implement wide spread consultations and
outreach activities with citizens, local authorities and other stakeholders to
expand ECSH supporters, create an enabling environment for its operation and
define its services for the benefit of the communities and of European
citizens.

—
– Plan the use of the physical premises of the
ECSH in terms of a European citizens’ advice bureau, temporary work space for
civil society organizations visiting Brussels, more permanent offices and
sharing of facilities and know-how and ensuring an EU-wide place for citizens
to meet and debate among themselves and with the European institutions.

Remarks

Decision No
1926/2006/EC establishes a general framework for financing Union action 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:

—
ensuring a high level of consumer protection,
notably through improved evidence, better consultation and better
representation of consumers’ interests, and

—
ensuring the 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 2002-2006 consumer programmes. It considerably
expands Union activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base,
enforcement cooperation, market surveillance and product safety, consumer
education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the ‘European
Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of this
section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

Remarks

The second health programme replaces the
previous programme established by Decision No 1786/2002/EC and covers the
period 2008-2013.

Since 2008, as far as the health area is
concerned, the programme has been focusing on three pillars where action at
Union 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 the Union — including on disabilities and ‘dys’
conditions — which is necessary to provide a solid foundation for health
policymaking and is also needed by professionals for their work and by citizens
to enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Actions will further include research into
multiple sclerosis, with special attention being paid to identifying the
factors behind the difference in the incidence of the disease between northern
and southern parts of Europe.

Actions should also include measures to
help boost research into the possible causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), with particular attention being paid to professional sports and the
possible influence of substance abuse in the world of sport.

(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 Union level. Union 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.

Actions will further include the
development of a Pan-European sentinel network for the early detection of new
threats in allergies, with particular attention being paid to the monitoring of
allergy trends in patients, the reporting of all cases of rare or novel
allergies in the field of inhalant, food, drug or contact allergy, to the
dissemination of scientific results to policymakers, health care professionals
and the general public, as well as the development of a sustainable system for
a better awareness in identifying and correctly treating the dramatically
increasing number of European citizens suffering from allergic diseases and
asthma.

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity
and solidarity

The overall objective is to contribute to
the prosperity of the Union 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, to explore health’s
impact on productivity and labour participation, and to support the reduction
of inequalities between Member States and investment in health, thus
contributing to the Europe 2020 Strategy, and to productivity and growth. Actions
will also enhance solidarity between health systems, including cooperation on
shared challenges, thus facilitating the development of a Union framework for
safe, high-quality and efficient health services. Actions should also include
initiatives to evaluate, by independent organisations, the quality of service
provided by emergency medical services from the moment an alert is launched by
citizens (e.g. through emergency call numbers) until the victim is transferred
to hospital care; the aim is to help improve emergency medical services on the
basis of comparable data and the identification of best practices to be
exchanged between Member States.

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.

The objective is also for the Commission to
implement the Health In All Policies strategy under the Structural Funds. Such
a project should cover proposals for methods on how health issues could be
incorporated — in accordance with the Health In All Policies strategy — into
regional development projects. The project aims to enhance overall health in
the Union by means of capacity building in the context of regional development
agencies.

The budget should cover training courses,
international events, exchange of experiences, good practices, and
international collaboration with a view to the practical use of Health Impact
Assessment (HIA) both for local government and development agencies and for
individuals or companies willing to apply for a grant provided by the Union.

With regard to the crucial importance of
small and medium-sized enterprises in the Union, they should be provided with
professional support for compliance with environmental health rules, and to
help them make positive changes to environmental health affecting company
operation.

A European database on health issues and a
database on environment issues should be interconnected so that further
research could be improved for analysing the link between environment quality
and state of health.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

paying attention to the effects of different
levels of remuneration, which may come to light in this context,

—
studies, meetings with experts and information
campaigns; a solution should also be found to maintain the level of care in
national healthcare systems,

—
analysing the relationship between healthcare
and social care and work on producing comparable data. A solid database, which
also includes gender and diversity aspects, will be crucial to enhance the open
method of coordination when it has been extended to healthcare.

Remarks

The pilot project aims at underlining the
importance of a correct and healthy diet with a focus on the ageing population.

The ageing of the population of Europe is a
demographic phenomenon that is due to a decrease in fertility and to an
increase of life expectancy among European citizens.

The population of Europe is expected to age
over the next 40 years and this phenomenon is closely related to nutrition
issues.

As recognised in various studies, nutrition
has a strong and important impact in the treatment and prevention of several
diseases and in maintaining good health and quality of life in an ageing
population.

With advancing age, there is a high
incidence of chronic diseases. Evidence points to the important effect of
nutrition and, in particular, of a balanced and healthy diet based on fruit and
vegetables, and on one's susceptibility to such diseases and their development
and outcome.

This project also seeks to provide parents
and children with information on nutrition. It will focus on the early years of
life, and could therefore cover prenatal nutrition, breastfeeding, and
childhood nutrition. The project has two main objectives, namely to educate
parents on the importance of good nutrition for their children, and to educate
children so they consciously make healthy lifestyle choices throughout their
lives. The project will operate within the framework of the Health Programme
and will specifically address two of the programme's overarching objectives:
that of promoting health and reducing health inequalities, and that of
disseminating health information.

This pilot project will try to reach its
target audiences through a range of channels, such as pre-natal classes,
hospitals, nurseries and pre-school establishments, and schools. It should
involve appropriate civil society organisations, such as health-orientated
NGOs, as well as healthcare professionals such as, for instance, paediatric
doctors and midwives, and national and regional health authorities. Cooperation
between these different actors should aim to deliver targeted education about
nutrition, independently of the food industry, to both parents and children.
Information campaigns could be launched in the form of leaflets (to be given,
for example, to pregnant mothers by midwives, or to parents by paediatric
doctors) or presentations in schools.

2 diabetes

Remarks

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic
disease and one of Europe’s biggest public health challenges. Over
30 000 000 European citizens are living with diabetes and this number
clearly indicates that diabetes has reached the dimensions of a social and
economic disaster. The average Union prevalence rate in the adult population of
the Union is of 8,6 % and it is expected to grow to over 10 % by 2025.
Diabetes is one of the top ten causes of disability, and leads to devastating
complications such as cardiovascular disease, blindness and renal failure. As a
result, a large proportion of healthcare budgets in the Union is currently
spent on treating and managing diabetes and its complications. For example in
2010, an average of 10 % of the healthcare budgets in the Union was spent
on diabetes.

Both the occurrence and consequences of
type 2 diabetes have been shown to be preventable through various measures,
such as timely identification of people at risk, development of awareness
campaigns and educational programmes focused on encouraging healthy living
habits and good quality preventive care. However, to ensure success in
preventing diabetes, the burden of this growing epidemic must be addressed in a
collaborative manner by all relevant stakeholders — healthcare professionals,
people with diabetes, the general population, the media, the food industry, local
market chains, and policymakers.

This pilot project proposes a two-phase
innovative approach for diabetes prevention. The first phase will include the
development of systematic approaches to the early diagnosis of people who
already have diabetes and for the identification of those at risk, such as
those with the metabolic syndrome. The second phase will consist of the
development and evaluation of structured action programmes for diabetes
prevention for those at risk.

1.
Population screening will be carried out on a small scale (3 000 to 10 000
people), meaning that screening will involve the whole population living in a
certain village or town within five selected Member States. This innovative
approach is proposed in order to:

—
ensure maximum precision of the data evaluation,

—
avoid the burden of administrative approvals
that may be necessary for population screening at national level,

—
efficiently manage the data acquired via
screening and the impact of the implemented prevention measures,

—
generate local enthusiasm towards the project’s
objectives and engage the attention of all relevant stakeholders.

2. All
relevant local stakeholders will be involved in the project and will work
together in a coordinated manner:

—
healthcare professionals will be involved in
screening, monitoring/data collection, and in the development of educational
programmes,

—
the local population will be encouraged to
develop a collaborative and an open attitude towards the screening programmes
and to actively participate in educational activities on diabetes,

—
the media will be involved in developing
awareness campaigns and will help to disseminate the information about the
objectives and status of the project,

—
the food industry and local market chains will
promote and encourage the consumption of food products with low content of
saturated fats, trans-fats, salt and sugar,

—
local government policymakers will translate the
results of the project into guidelines and strategies for the prevention of
diabetes.

Objectives:

—
to establish a coordinated collaboration between
physicians and other healthcare professionals (nurses, nutritionists,
psychologists, researchers), the general population, the food industry, local
market chains, the media and local policymakers with a view to preventing type
2 diabetes,

—
to develop small-scale screening programmes for
the early diagnosis of people with diabetes and for the timely identification
of people at risk. Population screening will be divided into four groups:

—
new-born screening for babies at risk (e.g.
blood tests if one or both parents have diabetes),

—
screening of all school children and teenagers
(e.g. blood tests, clinical examinations, evaluation of dietary habits,
evaluation of physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, excess of
fast-food, and others to be determined),

—
screening of the whole adult population (e.g.
blood tests, clinical examinations, evaluation of food habits and relevant
lifestyle factors),

—
screening of elderly people,

—
to identify innovative approaches in order to
involve the food industry and local public administration in the educational
programmes,

—
to develop educational programmes for the
general population and especially for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,
for those at risk and for the parents of new-borns or children suffering from
diabetes or who are at risk,

—
to establish standard screening programmes by
identifying and selecting the best indicators/parameters to be measured, such
as blood tests, food habits, physical activity, and others to be determined,

—
to create a local food market which contribute
to preventing the consumption of foods and drinks with high levels of sugar,
salt, saturated fats and trans-fats,

—
to organise workshops and seminars in order to
educate the local population on the importance of food quality and food
content. The activities of the workshops and seminars can be linked to
campaigns promoting the consumption of fruit and vegetables. For instance,
local market chains could sponsor such events by offering fruit and vegetables
to participants.

Involved regions or countries: a selection
of five towns or villages (3 000 to 10 000 citizens) from five Member
States.

Expected outcomes

The overall project goal is to identify and
develop best practices for the prevention of type 2 diabetes. It is expected
that some of the villages or towns participating in the project will be able to
develop and implement a successful local strategy for preventing type 2
diabetes. The most successful strategies may be then translated or incorporated
into future Union and national initiatives on diabetes (e.g. guidelines or
recommendation on diabetes, National Diabetes Plans). The impact of the
prevention measures developed during the project can be only assessed after a
period of approximately two years from the beginning of the project. This
impact assessment will be done by closely monitoring the health status of the
local population participating in the project.

Starting date of the project: June 2012.

End date of the project: June 2014.

Remarks

In 2009, based on bacteria most frequently
isolated from blood cultures in Europe, the European Centre for Disease
Prevention and Control estimated that each year these selected
multidrug-resistant bacteria resulted in about 25 000 patient deaths and in
extra healthcare costs and productivity losses of at least EUR 1,5 billion each
year. Over the past few decades, the irresponsible and incorrect use of
antibiotics has accelerated this trend. Antimicrobial resistance is therefore a
phenomenon which clearly has cross-border implications and the occurrence of an
outlier effect, which would most probably not be manageable with the current
resources and knowledge, cannot be excluded.

Aims of
the preparatory action:

—
to study the issue of the inappropriate use and
sale of antimicrobial agents with or without prescription throughout the chain
— from the doctor and the pharmacist to the patient – in terms of behaviour of
all actors involved, by choosing as study-cases the key Member States with the
highest degree of access to antibiotics without prescription. The action will
seek to better evaluate the reasons for the inappropriate use of antibiotics,
assess the level of antibiotics sold without prescription in the target
countries (including the countries where the enforcement of legislation is
poor), identify the reasons for such high levels of sales without prescription,
assess whether there is enough information reaching the relevant actors,
identifying their motives, incentives, practices and the perception of the
overall threat of antimicrobial resistance and make recommendations on how to
best address this situation,

—
to contribute and lead to a comprehensive and
integrated Union policy against AMR.

Specific
actions:

—
thorough surveys in the groups to which this
preparatory action is addressed,

—
in-depth discussions,

—
identification of study-cases in each key Member
State.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
creation of a Union network of experts that will promote and sustain innovative
and adapted care structures for adolescents with psychological problems (houses
for teens). It will collect, exchange, develop and share experience, knowledge
and best practices in this field. The network must be seen as a follow-up
action to the European Mental Health Pact and the series of conferences
organised by the Commission in this field (on the agenda of the
interministerial meeting of employment, social policy, health and consumers
affairs of 6 and 7 June 2011).

The
objectives of the Union network are:

—
to collect, exchange, develop and share
expertise, experience, knowledge and best practices,

—
to promote, support and offer practical help for
the creation of adapted care structures for adolescents,

—
to facilitate reciprocal staff training,
including study visits and traineeships,

—
to raise the awareness of the general public and
of national and European authorities,

—
to promote a medical specialisation in
adolescentology,

—
to provide representation of its members in the
European and international institutions.

Disorders in Europe

Remarks

Of those affected by intellectually
debilitating diseases, children suffering from autistic spectrum disorders
(ASD) are most likely to profit from an EU added value, and should therefore
constitute a primary focus for action. At present, the lack of EU and national
efforts regarding ASD patients who have reached adulthood and who are first
diagnosed in adulthood negatively impacts/ affects the Healthy Life Years and
active ageing of that specific subpopulation.

The creation of a shared European
perspective on autism spectrum disorders necessitates the encouragement of
advocacy, trans-cultural and cost-effective clinical practices, research, and
exchange of information and expertise. The ability of adults with autism to
take care, or even provide for themselves depends on their intellectual
properties and their ability to cope with the social and communicative demands
of modern society. Patients first diagnosed in adulthood tend to have high
intellectual capacities but still fail due to poor social and communicative
skills. Specific support relies on the existence of tested protocols in order
to detect the ASD symptoms/ behavioural patterns that arise not only in severe
forms of autism generally diagnosed in childhood but also in milder forms first
diagnosed in adulthood. If properly taught social responses and accepted
behaviours, autistic adults can function as contributing members of society.
Presently, the majority of such high functioning autistic adults live socially
isolated and rely on social support due to a lack of recognition of the
specific form of high functioning autism and specific means to support these
people.

Aim of the project:

The objectives of this project should focus
on the major issue surrounding ASD in adulthood, namely early detection of high
functioning ASD and developments of means to support such people. The strategic
objective is the improvement of the quality of life, social and vocational
reintegration of individuals affected by ASD and avoidance of social
disintegration and early retirement.

Description of the project:

The proposed action will build on the
progress yielded by the European Autism Information System (EAIS) project
(http://www.eais.eu/) via implementation of the protocols developed. This
proposal is particularly focused on applying a public health model to ASD, with
work packages on prevalence, screening, diagnosis and intervention.

There are three specific achievements to be
reached for this project, The European Prevalence Protocol for early detection
of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Europe. These are as follows:

1. To estimate the prevalence of ASD in 6
to 9 pilot areas, to be located in different Member States, using the
harmonised European Autism Prevalence Protocol developed by the EAIS project,
and to validate aforementioned protocol in different languages and cultural
settings. This will lead to the first continental study of autism prevalence
and will ideally supply the European Commission with an accurate estimate of
the number of ASD-afflicted individuals in Europe.

2. To implement and, as much as possible
validate a strategy for early identification of ASD in 6-9 pilot areas via the
utilisation of the harmonised protocol developed by the EAIS project. This is
to include a component of translating and adapting autism screening tools into
different languages and cultural settings and to compare the results.
Furthermore, this objective will aim to increase awareness of autism amongst
public and professional communities, and aid in the training of health care
professionals in order to improve their familiarity of and ability to recognise
ASD in childhood and also high functioning variants in adulthood.

3. To review current best practices on
early intervention, diagnosis and clinical management on ASD, to collaborate with
partners in order to review what is currently delivered by their services
regarding early intervention for children and adults with ASD, and to identify
specific needs and to then design a training program in intervention
appropriate for that community and to make recommendations about staff
training.

At the end of the project period, a clear
picture of comparable, population-based prevalence rates in the Member States
will exist. Moreover, the medical community will have guidelines on how to
recognize ASD at an early stage and low and high functioning variants, and how
best to diagnose and to medically intervene in order to assure best
individually possible outcomes. The envisioned multicultural, poly-lingual
experience will provide a unique opportunity for future expansion, both in
Europe and worldwide, in order to improve the quality of life of people
suffering from ASD. This project will lay a strong focus on disseminating the
findings of this holistic public health approach broadly across European member
countries, so that the potential benefits may be reaped by as many afflicted
individuals and families as possible.

Remarks

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the
most frequent killers in women and men in Europe. Our study aims at establishing
a best practice scheme across the EU, improving diagnosis and therapy by
considering sex specific manifestations of the disease. This will largely
improve diagnosis and treatment in women and men and basic principles may be
translated to other diseases.

The
objectives of the program are for the involved countries:

—
— to increase medical and public awareness about
gender differences in CAD regarding clinical manifestations and incidence

—
— to establish EU guidelines on gender specific
manifestations of CAD and treatments

—
— to examine gender implications on health
determinants and risk factors

—
— to disseminate the best practice plan in
member states.

Remarks

The Union’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 Union 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 the smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to
improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the Union.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
earlier commitments.

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 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 readmission agreements.

Component 2: Organising information campaigns, in countries of origin, for
applicants for immigration into the 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 the 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 Union.

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

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.).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance,
as regards structural measures, projects and measures concerning the reception
of refugees, displaced persons and asylum seekers which meet the conditions
governing eligibility for Union financial aid.

It is
intended to support Member States’ efforts to integrate refugees and other
persons granted supplementary support, and to allow displaced persons to lead a
life for which they themselves are responsible, through measures taken chiefly
in the following areas:

—
facilitating access to employment, including
vocational training,

—
acquisition of knowledge of the language,
society, culture and institutions of the host country,

—
facilitating access to housing and to the
medical and social infrastructure of the host country,

—
support for persons in particular need of
protection, such as women refugees, unaccompanied minors and torture victims,
including victims of forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced
sterilisation and rape victims,

—
integration into local structures and
activities,

—
improvement in public awareness and
understanding of refugees’ situation,

—
analysis of the situation of refugees in the
Union,

—
training on gender issues and child protection
for officials, healthcare workers and police officers at reception centres,

—
separate accommodation for single women and
girls.

Moreover, it is intended to support efforts
of the voluntary burden sharing operations by Member States, such as the
resettlement, reception and integration by Member States of refugees coming
from third countries and recognised by UNHCR and transfers of applicants and
beneficiaries of international protection from one Member State to another
which grants them equivalent protection.

Part of this appropriation will be used for
supporting the Member States in direct cooperation with United Nations
humanitarian and other agencies which on a voluntary basis extend resettlement
in a flexible manner in acute refugee situations. The focus will be on the most
vulnerable groups and cases where other durable solutions are regarded as
having been ruled out.

Particular attention should be given to
when the appropriation can be used to demonstrate a significant and tangible
act of solidarity at European level which can produce added value as part of a
broader approach on delivery of humanitarian support to a country or region.

At the Commission’s initiative, this
appropriation is also intended to cover transnational actions or actions of
interest to the Union as a whole (Union actions) concerning asylum policy and
measures applicable to the target population of the Fund, in particular to
offer adequate support to joint efforts by Member States to identify, share and
promote best practices and establish effective cooperation structures in order
to enhance the quality of decision making.

This appropriation is also intended to
cover earlier commitments from ERF I and II, including those regarding
voluntary repatriation.

It is also intended to finance a Union
action to compile data for collaboration and exchange of best practices among
childcare workers in closed detention centres for asylum seekers and
immigrants.

A solidarity mechanism will be established
to facilitate the voluntary reallocation of refugees and beneficiaries of
international protection from Member States which are facing severe pressure
from immigration flows to other Member States. The mechanism would be
established at Union level and brought into operation on a trial basis so that
it may eventually be continued under a Common European Asylum System. Member
States would freely determine all aspects of the selection process on a voluntary
basis. The Commission would set the framework, issue guidelines, encourage
participation and facilitate management and coordination.

The mechanism should be established in line
with the European Council Conclusions of 18 and 19 June 2009. The conclusions
note that, in view of the present humanitarian emergency, concrete measures
need to be quickly put in place and implemented. The European Council called
for the coordination of voluntary measures for internal reallocation of
beneficiaries of international protection present in the Member States exposed
to specific and disproportionate pressures and highly vulnerable persons and
welcomed the intention of the Commission to take initiatives in this respect,
starting with a pilot project.

Remarks

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

—
reception and accommodation,

—
provision of subsistence funds,

—
medical, psychological and other assistance,
aimed in particular at minors and including specialised assistance to women and
girls who have fallen victim to harassment in any form or to criminal acts
(rape, violence or specific forms of torture such as forced abortion, female
genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation) or have suffered because of poor
conditions as refugees,

—
necessary staffing and administrative costs in
connection with reception and carrying out the measures,

—
 expert missions and ancillary technical
assistance for the identification of displaced persons,

—
logistical and transport costs.

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, well-being or access to protection
provided for under Union 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 the fair and efficient processing of asylum
applications.

Remarks

The main
objective of this pilot project is to establish a network of contacts and
discussion between targeted municipalities and local authorities in Member
States which have just started a resettlement programme, or wish to participate
in the near future, and Member States which are experienced in resettlement,
drawing on UNHCR and non-governmental organisation (NGO) experiences and best
practices in the resettlement and reintegration of refugees. The pilot project
will cover the following actions:

—
identifying municipalities or local authorities
in Member States that have just started resettlement programmes (e.g. Portugal,
Romania) or are about to do so (e.g. Spain) and arranging meetings with
selected municipalities or local authorities in resettlement countries (e.g.
the UK and the Netherlands) with a view to strengthening ‘new’ resettlement
programmes and ensuring that they are of a high quality and sustainable,

—
identifying municipalities or local authorities
or NGOs in Member States not yet participating in resettlement programmes, but
wishing to join the network with a view to future participation in such
programmes,

—
holding meetings of representatives of the
targeted local authorities and municipalities involved, along with the UNHCR,
participating NGOs and representatives of resettled refugees, to lay down the
activities to be developed jointly, including visits, exchanges of experience,
training and thematic meetings focusing on issues such as housing, education
and employment,

—

the various stakeholders on procedures, types of monitoring prior to

The main
objective of this pilot project is to create a new line of funding for the
final benefit of victims of torture (EU or non-EU citizens) present in the
Union. The pilot project will cover the following actions:

—
to create rehabilitation centres for victims of
torture or to support the existing ones by providing funds for their
rehabilitation costs (premises, therapeutical staff, administrative staff,
etc.) and their other activities (prevention, advocacy, training, legal
support, etc.),

—
to provide access to multidisciplinary support
and counselling, including physical and psychotherapeutic treatment,
psycho-social counselling, legal services, and socio-economic support to the
victims,

—
to support international networking between
rehabilitation centres (within and outside the Union) in order to build
capacities, support the exchange of good practices among specialists, allow
peer supervision as a means of prevention of vicarious trauma, etc.,

—
to support activities which aim to empower
torture victims themselves and, in general, to support the ability of torture
victims to integrate into society in European countries.

Remarks

This preparatory action aims to create a
new line of funding to support the resettlement of refugees in emergency
conditions that are not covered by the current European Refugee Fund (ERF)
rules, and will not be covered in the near future as the current Fund, in its
third iteration (ERF III), lapses in 2014. The activities carried out in the
framework of this preparatory action, and the experiences collected within that
framework, could then be integrated in the revision of the ERF planned for
2014.

The
following actions are covered by this preparatory action:

—
to support persons already recognised as
refugees by UNHCR and ERF falling victim to natural disasters, armed attacks,
etc.,

—
to support emergency action in the case of
groups of refugees, identified as priorities according to ERF and UNHCR rules,
who are under armed attack, that have been victims of a natural disaster, or
that face other conjunctures of extreme vulnerability and of a life-threatening
nature,

—
to fund rapid resettlement procedures of the
Member States in conditions replicated from the routine resettlement activities
funded by the ERF,

—
to guarantee financing for emergency procedures
without disruption of the ongoing ERF resettlement procedures,

—
to provide, where needed, extra financial
support during emergencies to the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and to its liaison organisations in the
Member States and at Union level,

—
to strengthen the activities of the European
Asylum Support Office, whose Resettlement Unit is expected to become
operational during 2012, as a focal point during these emergency procedures.

Remarks

The aim of
this pilot project is to identify good practices on prevention, reception,
protection and integration policies for unaccompanied minors. The child may be
returned to his or her country of origin where it will be necessary to
guarantee reintegration or may be given the status of international protection
or other legal status that allows the child to integrate in the Member State of
residence; alternatively, the child may be resettled in the Union. In all these
cases it is important that the interests of the child will be guaranteed. The
pilot project should contribute to the implementation of the 2010 Commission
action plan on unaccompanied minors (2010-2014) and actions specified thereof:

—
identifying prevention actions and policies
vis-à-vis the group to which the unaccompanied minors belong (e.g., asylum
seekers, victims of trafficking, children who enter illegally into the Union)
and/or the country or region of origin,

—
identifying best practices on child reception
and protection, and in particular on issues such as procedures at first
encounter, legal representation, appointment of a guardian, access to and
adequacy of reception facilities, initial interviews, education and medical
care,

—
identifying good practices in specific measures
and procedural guarantees for unaccompanied minors in the Union,

—
evaluating the various experiences of combating
the phenomenon of missing children and identifying best practices,

—
identifying best practices on restoring family
unity and reintegration of unaccompanied minors in their countries of origin.

Remarks

The main
objective of this preparatory action is to establish a network of contacts and
discussion between targeted municipalities and local authorities in Member
States which have just started a resettlement programme, or wish to participate
in the near future, and Member States which are experienced in resettlement,
drawing on UNHCR and non-governmental organisation (NGO) experiences and best
practices in the resettlement and reintegration of refugees. The preparatory
action will cover the following actions:

—
— identifying municipalities or local
authorities in Member States that have just started resettlement programmes
(e.g. Portugal, Romania) or are about to do so (e.g. Spain) and arranging
meetings with selected municipalities or local authorities in resettlement
countries (e.g. the UK and the Netherlands) with a view to strengthening ‘new’
resettlement programmes and ensuring that they are of a high quality and
sustainable,

—
— identifying municipalities or local
authorities or NGOs in Member States not yet participating in resettlement
programmes, but wishing to join the network with a view to future participation
in such programmes,

—
— holding meetings of representatives of the
targeted local authorities and municipalities involved, along with the UNHCR,
participating NGOs and representatives of resettled refugees, to lay down the
activities to be developed jointly, including visits, exchanges of experience,
training and thematic meetings focusing on issues such as housing, education
and employment,

—
— designing a form for collecting information
from the various stakeholders on procedures, types of monitoring prior to
resettlement, types of information collected on the refugees to be resettled
(including cultural, health and educational issues and diet), infrastructure,
human resources, accommodation, reception, actions taken after resettlement for
the integration of refugees, community participation in the process, any
economic, legal or educational aid, the role of refugees already resettled in
the integration process, and cooperation with NGOs,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
funding of priority information measures in the field of home affairs.

It covers information and communication
measures in the field of 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 Union, stakeholders, and the Union institutions and take account
of specific national, regional and local characteristics, in close cooperation
with the Member State authorities.

The Commission has adopted a series of
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) 0354 and COM(2002) 0350). These communications
propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation extended to Member
States for the development of a communication and information policy strategy
for the 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
Union 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.

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the
Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the
European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress upon expiry of
the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, 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 the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

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 2011 will be
used for research in 2013. 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 2013 comes to EUR 51 732 500.

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 Article 18 and Article
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’.

The Commission may impose fines, periodic
penalty payments and other penalties on undertakings and associations of
undertakings for not respecting bans or not carrying out their obligations
under the Regulations enumerated below or under Articles 101 and 102 of the
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

The fines must normally be paid within
three months of the Commission decision being notified. However, the Commission
will not collect the amount due when the undertaking has lodged an appeal with
the Court of Justice of the European Union; the undertaking must accept that
interest will be paid on the debt after the final date for payment and provide
the Commission with a bank guarantee covering both the principal of the debt
and interest or surcharges by the final date for payment.

Remarks

New Article

This article is intended to record any
excess emissions premium imposed by the Commission.

The objective of Regulation (EC) No
443/2009 is to set emission performance standards for new passenger cars
registered in the Community, which forms part of the Community’s integrated
approach to reducing CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles while
ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market.

However, in respect of each calendar year
from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2
exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose
an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the
pool manager.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance
standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach
to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (OJ L 140,
5.6.2009, p. 1), and in particular Article 9 thereof.

Commission Decision 2012/100/EU of 17
February 2012 on a method for the collection of premiums for excess CO2
emissions from new passenger cars pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital
repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from
the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 19 08 of the statement of expenditure
in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and
interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain
Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion
of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time the
countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the
amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special
loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well
as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk
capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special
loans is paid in 6-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally
in annual instalments.

of production to fill in existing data gaps for sustainability indicators and
to further develop evidence-based agricultural instruments that reward
producers who deliver environmental public goods, notably by reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, in view of the reform of the CAP towards 2020.

Part of this appropriation should cover
investigation on every step from smart production with metals and minerals
savings to substitution of potentially critical raw materials by less critical
ones.

Another option is to investigate the
reusability of parts containing scarce materials and whether they can be made
more robust to allow them to be shifted from one product to another. The scarce
resources and the functionalities they enable may not be the ‘weak point’ and
may not wear, so an option could be to design the component with scarce
materials in such a way that it lasts longer. The target will be quick-turnover
appliances and then a proposal for an appropriate incentives scheme to
stimulate reusability.

The possibility of the data encoded in the
product delivering information about where the scarce resources are should be
explored, together with the way to handle them in order to maximise recycling,
as well as information about chemical contents of the product making
differentiated treatment possible (for example, depollution is not needed if
there are no hazards, thus ensuring cost optimisation for recyclers).

Exploring the technical and economical
feasibility of such individual identification is a key challenge for the
future. This would also be a serious move towards real IPR and creating the
conditions for increased competition towards optimised end-of-life management.

Remarks

This exceptional assistance aims to ease
financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macroeconomic
difficulties characterised by balance of payment deficits and/or serious
budgetary imbalances.

It is directly linked to the implementation
by the recipient countries of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural
adjustment measures. Union action generally complements that of the
International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

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

Appropriations under this article will also
be used to cover financial aid for the reconstruction in Georgia of the areas
affected by the conflict with Russia. The actions should be primarily geared to
the macroeconomic stabilisation of the country. The total financial allocation
for the aid was decided at an international donors’ conference in 2008.

the market allows.

Decision 2001/777/EC was the basis for a
contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB signed in
Brussels on 6 May 2002 and in Luxembourg on 7 May 2002

Remarks

Part of this appropriation is intended to
cover expenditure on Union/Community financial instruments implemented in the
framework of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to
2013) (CIP), and to facilitate the access of small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) to finance, including initiatives supporting resource efficiency and the
green economy.

Part of this
appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the following measures:

—
promoting the availability in Europe of
mechanisms for securing access to credit for SMEs, such as credit guarantee
consortia, and analysing credit market issues where necessary,

—
supporting credit applications to financial
institutions submitted by such consortia of SMEs, inter alia through the
provision of secondary guarantees by the European Investment Fund (EIF),

—
concluding agreements with financial
institutions on subsidised loans to credit guarantee consortia.

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 CIP
addresses persistent recognised market gaps leading to poor access to equity,
venture capital and loans for SMEs through Union financial instruments operated
on behalf of the Commission by the EIF, the Union’s specialised institution for
providing venture capital and guarantee instruments for SMEs.

Independent evaluations of the predecessor
programme ‘Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship’
identified the market-based approach and the implementation via the EIF of
these instruments as a best practice. They are therefore continued and adapted
in the CIP programme.

Union financial instruments facilitate
access to finance by SMEs. The High Growth and Innovative SME Facility (GIF)
shares risks and rewards with private equity investors providing important
leverage for the supply of equity to innovative companies.

GIF targets innovative SMEs in their early
stages and in the expansion phase, leveraging ‘follow-on’ capital to help them
bring their products and services to the market. Particular attention is paid
to SMEs active in the field of eco-innovation.

The SME Guarantee Facility (SMEG) continues
to provide counter-guarantees or co-guarantees to guarantee schemes operating
in participating countries, and direct guarantees to financial intermediaries.
It aims at addressing market failures experienced by SMEs with growth potential
in accessing: (i) loans (or loan substitutes such as leasing); (ii) microcredit
and (iii) equity or quasi-equity. A new securitisation window (iv) mobilises
additional debt financing for SMEs under appropriate risk-sharing arrangements
with the targeted institutions.

A Capacity Building Scheme (CBS) was
intended to support the capacity of financial intermediaries to focus on
additional investment and technology aspects. This instrument has, however,
shown no response from the market. As a consequence, the budget initially
reserved for CBS has been made available to the GIF to support mainly
eco-innovation and technology transfer.

and in order to honour guarantee obligations. Therefore reporting and
monitoring requirements will continue until the end of the facility periods.

In order to honour its obligations, the
Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In
this case, Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22

entrepreneurship promotion. It will also support eco-innovation projects
concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or
eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Union 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.

As the ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’
preparatory action, expires in 2011 and will be integrated in the new
multiannual financial framework only as of 2014, its continuation needs
financing for the years 2012 and 2013. The programme aims at fostering European
entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best practices as well as the
creation of valuable networks and partnerships. Part of this appropriation
should be used to ensure the smooth functioning and continuation of ‘Erasmus
for Young Entrepreneurs’ through the CIP’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Programme until the new financial framework is put in place.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The proposed action aims at developing and
testing innovation support services for European knowledge-based start-up
companies which make use of the extended networks of European expatriates in
science and business in the Silicon Valley. Young companies shall thus realise
faster market access and growth overseas while creating high-value added jobs
in Europe. This requires coordinated action of European innovation support
providers. The action shall therefore ultimately explore the feasibility of a
joint ‘European Innovation Centre’ in an innovation hot spot. This centre shall
link official representations (chambers of commerce, consulates and industry
representations), innovation support providers for European start-ups with
European entrepreneurs and scientists that chose to live and work in the
Silicon Valley for better coordinated support to potential high-growth
companies.

Target groups

Central to this action is the development
and piloting of novel services which facilitate fast growth and access to
capital for young knowledge-based companies by combining the networks of
European expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers in the Silicon Valley with
the services of regional / national innovation support agencies in Europe.

One knowledge based young company from each
Member State shall be invited to test the services, to establish own networks
in the Silicon Valley ecosystem and to feed-back experience and advice on the
future design of such services.

Innovation agencies in the Member States
are invited to select the young companies and to accompany the project
contributing their expertise in the support of young companies. Agencies with
offices in the Silicon Valley shall be invited to contribute to the design and
provision of services in particular the provision of office space for the
European young companies.

Networks of expatriate entrepreneurs and
researchers[3]
shall be invited to contribute to the training and networking of European young
companies and co-design innovation support services targeted at young
knowledge-based companies.

Proposed activities

(1) Two workshops or conferences (one in
the United States, one in Europe) which bring together European innovation
support providers with expatriate scientists or entrepreneurs to further
develop an approach for a joint delivery of support to young companies with
growth potential.

(2) An accompanying study evaluating the
expectations and experience of knowledge-based young companies as well as of
expat networks participating.

(3) The design and delivery of specific
support services for a group of 27 knowledge-based young companies with growth
potential from all Member States. These services shall include the organisation
of sector specific networking and training events in the Silicon Valley.

(4) A final conference with stakeholders
from the European Parliament, the Commission services, young companies
benefiting from pilot action, representatives of the expatriates’ networks and
innovation support agencies.

(5) Specific communication actions related
to the action.

A suitable platform for the proposed action
is the ProInno Europe/Europe Innova initiative established by the
Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry to facilitate policy
development and joint service provision of regional and national innovation
agencies.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

Any revenue from contributions from third
parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to
the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item in
accordance with the Financial Regulation.

In addition, part of this appropriation is
intended to finance a Young Innovators Mobility (YIM) action. It is generally
recognised that professional mobility is essential to the development of a
versatile workforce, to a sense of European citizenship, and to reinforcing
Europe’s competitiveness. Innovative ideas should not stop at national borders,
they should grow through cross-fertilisation, testing and validation within the
widest European pool of talent, facilities, infrastructure and financing. Just
as European students benefit from the mobility experience of the Erasmus
programme, young researchers from the Marie Curie actions, and young
entrepreneurs from Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, young innovators too deserve the
opportunity for cross-border mobility to the benefit of innovation in Europe.
Existing mobility programmes do not match the scope covered by the YIM action,
which focuses on the Innovation process of developing new early-stage ideas
into demonstrators. For instance, this project differentiates itself from
Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs which is mainly a business exchange programme
focussed on the post-innovation stage, enabling new entrepreneurs to learn or
improve their business-related skills. By combining the benefits of mobility,
the need to narrow the innovation gap and the need to change the mindset to
promote innovation, the proposal for a YIM action constitutes a concrete step
towards the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs and
the ‘Innovation Union’ as well as ‘Youth on the Move’ flagship initiatives in
particular.

The YIM action aims to support a minimum of
100 young innovators. YIM would operate as a borderless mobility and innovation
residency programme, enabling young (25 to 36 years old) and potential
innovators (18 to 24 years old) to work on their own early-stage idea as a
‘young innovator in residence’ at a host organisation which could be a large or
small company, start-up, laboratory, university, institute, government agency
or NGO.

for the benefit of young entrepreneurs and potential young entrepreneurs by
means of stays in another country within small and medium-sized enterprises in
key or complementary sectors. The action should be based on preliminary
analysis of the demand (i.e. young entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs)
and supply side (i.e. small and medium-sized enterprises) exploring existing
needs. The traineeships for young entrepreneurs should seek to foster the
pooling of experience and enhance the development, validation and exploitation
of business ideas. It should promote the creation of networks among young
entrepreneurs beyond borders and encourage the creation of partnerships
allowing knowledge sharing in key sectors and increased internationalisation of
companies. Provision should be made for ancillary activities (training and
information in European contracts and commercial law, the common market,
European standardisation, European support tools, as well as the local business
environment). The intermediary organisations (chambers of commerce and
industry, business incubators and other entities active in business promotion
and support) are in charge of implementing the programme. A support office,
chosen via a competitive call for proposals open for Europe-wide entities
active in the field of business support, is in charge of the coordination,
monitoring and support of the different intermediary organisations, being also
the first contact point for questions and technical assistance for applicants.
This support office is also in charge of the promotion of the programme at
European level and of the design and maintenance of the programme’s website.

The aim of this initiative is to draw
attention to the value, diversity and shared characteristics of European
tourist destinations and to promote both within Europe and in third countries
the European destinations where the economic growth objective is pursued in
such a way as to ensure the social, cultural and environmental sustainability
of tourism. The measure will also help European citizens to become better
acquainted with one another.

The
project’s aims are to:

—
enhance visibility of the emerging European
tourist destinations of excellence, especially the lesser known,

—
create awareness of Europe’s tourist diversity
and quality,

—
promote all European countries and regions both
within Europe and in the main third-country markets,

—
help decongestion, combat seasonality, and
rebalance the tourist flows towards the non-traditional destinations,

—
present awards for sustainable forms of tourism,

—
create a platform for the exchange of good
practices at European level,

—
promote networking between award-winning
destinations which could persuade other destinations to adopt sustainable
tourism development models.

Each year, destinations in the Member
States will be designated European Destinations of Excellence according to the
selected theme. Candidate countries will also be invited to participate in the
process.

The project ‘European Destinations of
Excellence’ aims to enhance visibility of the emerging European tourist
destinations of excellence, especially the lesser known; to create awareness of
Europe’s tourist diversity and quality; to promote all European countries and

Remarks

Part of this appropriation may be used to
promote environmentally sustainable tourism in the Danube river basin.

Following the entry into force of the
Lisbon Treaty, which gives the Union new competencies in the tourism domain in
order to complement Member States’ actions, and the Commission Communication of
30 June 2010 entitled ‘Europe, the world’s No 1 tourist destination — a new
political framework for tourism in Europe’ (COM(2010) 352 final) a preparatory
action has been launched to prepare the ground for future legislative
initiatives to promote new European tourism routes based on European cultural
heritage. These routes will take the form of theme-based cross-national tourism
products which reflect a common European cultural heritage and local
traditions. The Council of Europe and its ‘European Cultural Routes’ need to be
supported as well as similar European (cultural routes) initiatives.

To this aim, it is required to better
coordinate and cooperate with the Council of Europe in order to benefit from
its long-standing experience and, thus, further developing and transforming the
European Cultural Routes into comprehensive cross-national touristic packages.

The
preparatory action has the following main objectives:

—
raising awareness of the contribution of
different cultures to a common European culture, through the understanding of
Europe’s history on the basis of its tangible, intangible and natural heritage,

—
promoting the role of cultural tourism as a
factor of sustainable economic development, European citizenship and
intercultural dialog,

—
promoting sustainable and responsible tourism
within the Union and neighbouring countries,

—
reinforcing the image and profile of Europe as a
high-quality destination among European and third-country citizens,

—
strengthening the capacity of tourism operators
and small enterprises in remote and less known destinations to reach out to new
publics, facilitating the exchange of experiences and their networking and
clustering efforts,

—
stimulating competitiveness and innovation of
the tourism industry in the Union.

Remarks

Society is facing major change regarding
industry and recreation. The advent of new family structures and emergence of
single-person households, increased free time, increased life expectancy and
population ageing in general, and increasing insecurity for young people,
whether or not they are in employment, are all factors profoundly altering the
tourism environment. Ensuring universal access to holidays means, at Union
level, taking account of the specific features of European society.

The Union must therefore equip itself to
realise that objective. One response is based on developing social tourism.

Social tourism is known, firstly, for what
it seeks to do: allowing as many people as possible to go on holiday.
Accordingly, it aids mobility. Social tourism also has another purpose,
however, which, to date, has been inadequately evaluated: regional development
— many tourism association facilities are located in the countryside or in
highland areas — and local development. Social tourism is therefore the proof
that there is indeed an intermediate sector between the ‘leisure market’ and
the non-solvent economy. It proves that economic significance is not
incompatible with accessibility for the greatest number.

Social desegregation must therefore be
combined with local development. In promoting access for groups for which going
on holiday has progressively been made a difficult or even impossible
undertaking, social tourism strengthens the tourism industry’s earnings
capacity. It enables off-season tourism to be developed, particularly in
regions where tourism is highly seasonal. Accordingly, social tourism
encourages the creation of longer-lasting jobs in the tourism sector by making
it possible to extend them beyond the tourist season.

Implementing this project (named Calypso)
is a genuine opportunity to promote partnerships, spurred on by the Commission,
between the public and private sectors and the social economy. Through
exchanges between European citizens and, in particular, the creation of
synergies, this project makes a very great contribution towards establishing
European citizenship. It should be pointed out in this connection that nearly
40 % of all trips for more than four nights are made abroad.

The sector is therefore important in terms
both of the economic impact resulting from the number of jobs and of civic
resources.

The beneficiaries of this measure could
therefore be private firms operating in the tourism sector and carrying out the
tasks described above, social tourism associations, works councils, transport
firms, local and regional authority tourism associations and solidarity
associations, but also commercial operators too.

The measures
could involve:

—
cataloguing and disseminating measures helping
to bring about deseasonalisation as a result of the social policy function of
tourism,

—
devising arrangements enabling particular target
groups (e.g. senior citizens, young people and families in difficult social
circumstances) to go on holiday on the basis of accommodation offers by public
authorities (national, regional or local), charitable organisations or any
not-for-profit association.

The Calypso
2011 programme objectives are based on the measures identified within the 2009
study (through a call for tender) following the discussions between the
Commission, the Member States and the stakeholders during several Calypso
meetings in 2010, which are to:

—
catalogue the main (most representative) good
practices as a means to encourage tourism activity particularly during the
off-peak season, thus generating employment opportunities when tourism demand
is traditionally low,

—
identify the existing measures at European and
national level allowing the exchanges of persons from the following target
groups: senior citizens, young people, citizens with disabilities and families

Remarks

Under the Treaty of Lisbon, the Union was
granted competence in the field of tourism for the first time. This preparatory
action will seek to support cross-border thematic tourism products which
reflect in particular common European cultural and industrial heritage and
local traditions and will seek to draw on previous actions in this area and on
the consolidated experience of other international partners and organisations,
such as the Council of Europe, the United Nations World Tourism Organization
(UNWTO), the European Travel Commission (ETC), etc.

In particular, to help encourage the
European tourism sector to become more competitive, this preparatory action
will promote the diversification of the supply of tourism products. There is
excellent potential for growth in a number of transnational thematic tourism
products and services as, for example, in cultural and industrial itineraries
crossing several regions or Member States. Those European and transnational
tourism products should also be promoted in third countries in close
cooperation with the ETC, in order to enhance the image of Europe as a unique
destination on long-haul markets.

The
preparatory action will have the following main objectives:

—
by funding cross-border tourism projects, to
help improve the quality of tourism products and destinations as a whole across
the Union;

—
to further develop cultural products and tourism
as an integral part of a sustainable economy and to support regional economies;

—
to promote tourism in regions in reconversion,
in order to boost employment and growth in these regions;

—
to establish a network of regional, national and
Union-level stakeholders and decision-makers, in particular in the fields of
cultural and industrial tourism;

—
to promote the value of cultural products and
cultural tourism within Europe and to reinforce the image of Europe as the
number one destination for tourists worldwide;

—
to support transnational cultural or industrial
themes and products which help to foster a greater sense of European identity.

Remarks

Following the entry into force of the
Lisbon Treaty, tourism has been added to the competences given to the Union,
which can coordinate and complement Member States’ actions in this field. In
order to foster this new important task of the Union, a preparatory action, to
be launched in 2012, aimed at preparing the ground for future initiatives in
the field of tourism and accessibility has been proposed. Its main aim is to
develop a better awareness of accessibility in tourism, with a special focus on
the disability issue and special needs of certain categories of people. In
fact, despite the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,
signed by all Member States, a large number of disabled persons are still
facing problems in accessing services in the tourism and transport field.

The
preparatory action will have the following main objectives:

—
raising public awareness, including through
information campaigns, to the accessibility of tourism products and services,
as well as improving dialogue and collaboration between organisations
representing disabled persons, people with special needs in general and the
tourism industry, in order to favour a more inclusive society and guarantee
high quality free movement of people in Europe;

—
contributing to facilitatating the development
of specific training for staff on disability awareness, in particular in the
field of fire prevention and safety of accommodation in general;

—
developing skilled, trained and well-informed
citizens and professionals on the concept of hospitality in relation to
accessibility, including through close cooperation and synergies with
universities and schools;

—
incentivising and rewarding European
destinations which make accessibility a key priority in their promotional
offers;

—
incentivising better use of innovation in order
to improve accessibility in tourism services for all;

—
incentivising adaptation of tourist products to
the needs of persons with reduced mobility and people with special needs in
general;

—
contributing to the creation of a favourable and
accessible environment for disabled persons, persons with reduced mobility and
people with special needs in all fields, notably in transport (mobility),
accommodation, catering and tourism services in general;

—
increasing campaigns and information actions
with regard to the rights of persons with reduced mobility, and people with
special needs when travelling abroad, in order to guarantee that customers have
better information and better access;

—
enhancing cross-border cooperation to develop
accessible tourism within the industry in order to guarantee the exercise of
rights for both European citizens and third-country visitors, in particular
those with disabilities and special needs;

—
contributing to the development, in the long
term, of common minimum accessibility standards, based on quality, for all
fields related to tourism and addressed to all citizens, including disabled
persons, persons with reduced mobility and people with special needs.

Article 02 02 12 — Pilot

eco-technologies in the European Union

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 Union’s GDP. 99 % of building
firms are small and medium-sized enterprises (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 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 Union’s targets for the use
of renewable energy (20 % of gross internal consumption by 2020).

The aim of this project is therefore to
create a Union 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 Union
schemes to foster the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and
innovation (risk capital/loan guarantees).

Small firms
would not, of course, receive Union funding directly; instead 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.

The building industry is a key partner in
the Union’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase renewable
energies’ share of overall consumption and is currently playing an active part
in the development, use and promotion of eco-technologies (solar, photovoltaic,
geothermal, etc.).

However, this process is being hampered by
the difficulties experienced by small companies and tradesmen working in the
sector in obtaining the insurance cover they require at a price they can
afford, owing to wariness on the part of insurers caused by the innovative
nature of these technologies and a lack of understanding of the risks they
entail.

The market survey initiated in 2008 under
the earlier ELIOS project confirmed the complexity of the insurance systems
currently in place in the Member Sates and the lack of a common approach to the
assessment of the risks involved in using these new technologies.

This pilot project therefore seeks to take
this process further by, in tandem to the start made by the Union authorities
on establishing consistency between the various insurance systems in place in
the Union, as envisaged in the earlier survey, testing out a scheme
facilitating access to insurance cover, based on the concept already used in
connection with European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund loan
guarantee instruments and mutual guarantee instruments for small and
medium-sized enterprises. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that it is
possible to insure small companies that use eco-technologies at no extra cost.

This test would take the process beyond the
comparative study stage into an operational stage leading to the convergence of
national systems and to greater allowance being made for the needs of small
companies working with eco-technologies.

Remarks

The global
economy is witnessing a qualitatively new form of international economic
relations resulting in new opportunities for SMEs in an international
environment. Some of the reasons for seeking new markets might be:

—
local markets are smaller in scope,

—
national markets stagnate at certain times,

—
access to international markets in pursuing
high-growth objectives.

In the context of the Small Business Act
(SBA) providing for business support programmes and transnational research,
SMEs should be involved in transnational projects to take advantage of the
growth in markets outside the Union. The approach might lead to potential
enhancing of the skills and innovative strategies giving a competitive edge to
European SMEs. This preparatory action is aimed at testing the involvement of
SMEs in such actions and providing the necessary information in order to
develop a strategy at a later stage. The preparatory action will involve a
detailed feasibility study to assess the market potential and appropriate
business support measures for SMEs in key international markets. The study will
examine the different options and tools available to better connect European
SMEs to these markets, and propose country-specific measures to facilitate
access to these markets by European SMEs in the future.

Remarks

The aim of
this appropriation is to:

—
enable initial operations of GMES services,
tailored to the needs of users,

—
contribute to ensuring availability of the
observation infrastructure necessary to enable the GMES services,

—
create opportunities for increased private
sector usage of information sources, thereby facilitating innovation by
value-adding service providers.

In particular, development of Earth
monitoring-based services plays a key role in enhancing competitiveness and
innovation in industries in this sector and in the downstream markets.
Sustainable provision of Earth monitoring-related services in Europe still
requires consistent public intervention. This is not only because of market
failures in answering diverse public needs but also because the downstream
market is a non-mature market relying heavily on public funding and whose
development has, until today, been significantly curbed by uncertainties about
the affordability and long-term availability of the basic services and the data
they build upon. Achievement of the specific objectives outlined above will
therefore contribute to growth and job creation in an innovative sector, the
downstream segment which is composed mainly of small and medium-sized enterprises.
These services will facilitate access to key data required in policy
formulation at Union, national, regional and local level in fields such as
agriculture, forest monitoring, water management, transport, urban planning,
climate change and many others. This appropriation also covers implementation
of delegation agreements, including the operating costs incurred by entities to
which the Commission delegates tasks for the GMES programme, pursuant to
Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 and Article 54 of the Financial
Regulation.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from
contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the

Remarks

Rare earth elements have gained an
increasing amount of political attention. These 17 elements are critical to
European industry as they are essential in the production of high-tech,
low-carbon goods such as electric vehicles and energy-efficient light bulbs.
They are also indispensable in the defence sector (laser, night-vision goggles,
radar equipment, etc.). With demand steadily growing, supply is struggling to
keep up, particularly with regard to the heavy rare earths. This situation is
worsened by the fact that rare earths are currently difficult to substitute or
recycle. In this context, in order to help increase supply security of these
much-coveted rare earths, substitution and recycling should become one of the
focal points.

This pilot project aims to establish a
European rare earth competency network that would bring all of the relevant
European stakeholders (academia and research institutions, industry, policy-makers,
think tanks, etc.) together to exchange best practice, increase understanding
of the special properties of rare earths, undertake research and promote their
recyclability and substitution. Bringing all of the different stakeholders
together within such a network would also be particularly important as it could
help disseminate new technologies and decrease the time to market.

The network would meet several times a year
and would create a number of working packages under several working groups focusing
on the different issues relating to rare earths (i.e. recycling, substitution,
refining capacities, mining, etc.).

The network can be modelled on the
‘Concerted European Action on Magnets’ (CEAM), which was founded in 1985 and
which pioneered Europe-wide cooperation, involving more than 80 industrial and
academic groups pooling their expertise and knowledge, in order to further the
understanding of rare earth iron permanent magnets. Many other countries are
already investing in the next-generation of recycling technologies to recover
rare earths. Japan, for example, has already put forth a
USD 1 000 000 000 budget for a strategy in cooperation with
industry on rare earths designed to increase supply security inter alia through
ambitious recycling. The Japanese government has also put down a target of
reducing rare earth imports by one-third in the upcoming years, and the
Japanese National Institute for Materials Science, a government-affiliated
research group, claims that used electronics in Japan hold an estimated
272 000 tonnes of rare earth elements. Importing roughly 30 000
tonnes a year, this would equal up to 10 years of Japan’s imports. As such, a
European rare earth competency network would ensure that the Union takes this
issue seriously and endeavours to increase its own understanding of these
resources in order to increase particularly their recycling and substitution.
This would ensure that the Union is not left behind in the technological race
for mastering these important minerals.

Remarks

Former article 15 04 51

‘Creative districts’ is an expression which
seeks to merge the traditional meaning of ‘industrial district’ with the sense
of ‘creative industries’ as defined in the Commission’s Green Paper on
unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries of 27 April 2010: a
local territorial area, characterised by an intense concentration of medium,
small and micro-enterprises characterised by their particular specialised
production and the close linkage with the resident population, where their
outputs, although mainly functional, have a cultural or creative dimension.

The
‘creative districts’ are industrial districts in which:

—
products and connected services are deeply
linked with the enhancement of creative potential of the involved human
capital, via close linkage with products and connected services throughout the
production process,

—
products and connected services are
characterised by their high added value,

—
enterprises, civil society, educational system,
and institutions have traditionally experienced and developed strong cohesion
and interrelationship,

—
both dimensions of aesthetics and working ethics
meet in a continuous and dynamic dialectic, depending on economic needs of the
social context to which they relate,

—
the established unique ‘know-how’ expresses
itself in ‘crafts of beauty’ — i.e. related to wood products, ceramics, leather
manufacturing, etc. — and its long life is based on tradition and the chance of
becoming a heritage,

—
cultural, craft and manufacturing traditions
need to find new forms of transmission so as to preserve the cultural and
material heritage of excellence and to ensure sustainable economic and social
development.

The project
aims at realising a set of coordinated actions:

—
definition of common parameters valuable in
showing a specific culture and the common features of creative districts’
products or services, through the research and the analysis of all experiences,

—
creation of a network of European creative
districts, in order to define the exchange of information and best practices,

—
creation of a common brand to represent and
communicate the originality of the creative districts and their ‘crafts of
beauty’,

—
development of innovative intervention plans
focused on the protection of creative districts’ products and services against
the risk of counterfeiting,

—
promotion of the partnership between creative
districts in order to develop the exchange of young students and trainees
within Member States to mix experiences and to value differences,

—
enhancement of social cohesion and know-how
communication between generations through innovative actions of exchange and
sharing,

—
strengthening of network building capability of
creative districts, through the development of synergies between companies,
institutions and social bodies of their working area.

European creative districts represent one
of the clearest examples of the excellence of European productive culture. The
development of human capital’s creativity, high quality products and the strong
interaction between all players involved — economic system, society and
institutions — are their specific features.

New item

This appropriation is intended to cover the
costs of the functioning and activities of European organisations representing
SMEs’, consumers and environmental and social interests in standardisation. The
non-governmental and non-profit-making organisations have, as their statutory
objectives and activities, to represent the SMEs’, consumers, environmental and
social interests in the standardisation process at European level.

They have been mandated by non-profit
organisations in at least two thirds of the Member States, to represent the
interests of the mentioned groups in the standardisation process at European
level.

Contributions to these organisations have
been previously covered by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the
Consumer policy and the Financial Instrument for the environment, LIFE+. In the
recent proposal for a Regulation on European standardisation, the Commission
proposed to bring together in a single legal act the actions in the field of
standardisation financed by specific programmes.

Former article 07 03 71

The European polymer converting industry is
a major European industry, comprising 50 000 companies, of which 85 %
are SMEs, and 1 600 000 employees. Its production reached
45 000 000 tons in 2009 with Germany (23 %), Italy (16 %),
France (12 %), Spain (8,5 %), the United Kingdom (8 %) and
Poland (5,5 %) being the top European producers of finished plastic parts.
Almost two thirds of the plastic scrap created (1 300 000 tons of
plastics) is considered as ‘final’ waste and is either exported to the Far East
(essentially China) or landfilled. Recycling 50 % of the current
non-recycled plastic scrap would save around 650 000 tons of plastic materials
each year. By increasing recycle rates, this preparatory action reaches the
target of the Europe 2020 Strategy on resource efficiency. RECAP aims to be a
preparatory action for the improvement of internal plastic scrap recycling. It
will pave the way for the development of new technological solutions to recycle
plastic production scrap and for the implementation and structuring of
recycling channels based on sustainable solutions and technologies. The project
will create competitiveness and employment, extending the lifetime of plastic
materials, save crude oil, and make the plastics industry a more responsible
industry. A roadmap will be established in order to specify the necessary steps
to achieve a final sustainable solution: definition of R&D collaborative
projects to overcome technological bottlenecks, organisation and structuring of
recycling channels, transfer of best practices and technologies towards the
community of the Union’s plastic converters, demonstration of recycling
technologies through pilot equipment and the creation of companies to exploit
the intellectual property rights generated. The results are meant to be
duplicated in several Union regions presenting a high density of plastic
converting activity.

RECAP’s first sub-objective will be to
carry out a benchmark on internal scrap management in several major Union
regions from the plastic converting industry in France, Italy, Germany, Spain,
the United Kingdom, Austria and Poland. Each of these regions presents the
particularity to concentrate plastic converting activities in a reduced
geographical perimeter.

From the analysis of the benchmark, RECAP’s
second sub-objective will be to identify best practices and make
recommendations for future actions that will be consolidated into a global
methodology for internal scrap management. Several scenarios will be
established. Each one will be split up into structuring (economical, financial
and political organisation of recycling channels) and technological objectives
(R&D bottlenecks to be overcome). RECAP’s third sub-objective will be to
pre-implement a scenario in one of the regions studied within the project.
Actions such as launching R&D projects to overcome the technological
bottlenecks identified will be part of the pre-implementation phase.

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on
competition concerning agreements, decisions by associations of undertakings
and concerted practices (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union), abuses of a dominant position (Article 102 of the Treaty on
the Functioning of the European Union), aids granted by States (Articles 107
and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) 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 of the European Union in accordance with the
Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

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

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

Since a reasonable estimate of the
financial impact on the general 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 of the social partners’ contribution to addressing the overarching
challenges facing European employment and social policy as laid down in the
Europe 2020 Strategy and the Social Agenda and within the context of Union
initiatives to address the consequences of the economic crisis. It is intended
to cover grants for promoting social dialogue at cross-industry and sectoral
level in accordance with Article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union. The appropriations shall therefore be used to finance
consultations, meetings, negotiations and other operations designed to achieve
these objectives.

In addition, this appropriation is intended
to cover support for industrial relations measures, in particular those
designed to develop expertise and the exchange of Union-relevant information.

This appropriation is also intended to
cover the funding of measures involving representatives of the social partners
in the candidate countries with the specific purpose of promoting social
dialogue at Union level. It is also intended to promote equal participation of
women and men in the decision-making bodies of both trade unions and employers’
organisations. These last two components are cross-cutting.

On the basis
of these objectives, two sub-programmes have been established:

—
support for European social dialogue

—

Strategy and the Social Agenda and within the context of Union initiatives to
address the consequences of the economic crisis.

In addition, this appropriation is intended
to cover support for the work programmes of the two specific trade union
institutes, ETUI (European Trade Union Institute) and EZA (European Centre for
Workers’ Questions), which have been established to facilitate
capacity-building through training and research at European level, as well as
to improve the degree of involvement of workers’ representatives in European
governance.

Part of this appropriation is intended to
finance measures involving representatives of workers’ organisations in the
candidate countries with the specific purpose of promoting social dialogue at
Union level. It is also intended to promote equal participation of women and
men in the decision-making bodies of workers’ organisations.

States, promoting cooperation between relevant authorities and stakeholders and
fostering relations with the Union institutions so as to support the
implementation and improve the effectiveness of EU law on employee involvement.

Moreover this appropriation may be used to
promote innovative actions relating to employee involvement, with the view of
supporting the anticipation of change and the prevention and resolution of
disputes in the context of corporate restructuring, mergers, take-overs and
relocation in Union-scale undertakings and Union-scale groups of undertakings.

Additionally, this appropriation may be
used for cooperation between the social partners for the development of
solutions addressing the consequences of the economic crisis, such as mass
redundancies, or the need for a shift towards an inclusive, sustainable and
low-carbon economy.

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 provision of placement, advice and
information services for workers as regards employment in another Member State
and for employers wishing to recruit in another Member State,

—
the exchange of job vacancies and applications
at Union level and across borders,

—
the exchange of information between Member
States concerning labour-market trends and living and working conditions.

The EURES network may include special
cooperation and service structures at the initiative of border regions.

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

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
Union 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,

—
initial and further training of EURES advisers
in the Member States,

—
contacts between EURES advisers and cooperation
between government employment services, including those of candidate countries,

—
promotion of EURES among firms and the general
public,

—
development of special structures for
cooperation and services in border areas pursuant to Article 17(b) of
Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68,

—
measures to help remove mobility obstacles,
particularly in the field of work-related social security,

—
participation in the maintenance, enhancement
and continuous development of computerised systems linking the EURES network
and its stakeholders. This includes a one-stop web portal, also accessible for
disabled people, providing multilingual access to information on job vacancies,
CVs of potential candidates, living and working conditions, labour market
trends, education and training opportunities as well as other job mobility
related contents. This portal should also address the information needs of
nationals of third countries, in particular from countries falling under the
European Neighbourhood Policy.

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to support a
Union active inclusion strategy, promoting common recognition of fundamental
rights. In this context, protecting the main private residence against seizure
and preventing the loss of rented housing by low-income families (where the
property is mortgaged) should be seen in the framework of the wider right to
housing assistance, as recognised by Article 34(3) of the Charter of
Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

The pilot
project will include:

—
analysis of Member States' laws protecting the
main private residences of insolvent families against seizure where the
property is mortgaged and of the link between anti-eviction policies and a
legally binding right to housing in the countries which recognise this,

—
study of the possibility of establishing a
common minimum framework to limit seizure of the main private residence where
this is the only housing occupied by the debtor.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund
initiatives which help to explore the real working and living conditions of
posted workers and how the Member States, social partners and labour
inspectorates work in practice. The pilot project focuses on few specific
sectors with a high number of posted workers, e.g. construction, agriculture
and healthcare sectors.

The purpose
of the pilot project is to:

—
promote the exchange of relevant information,
establish best practices and publish an overview of the state of play in the
Member States,

—
examine any questions and difficulties which
might arise in the practical application of the posting of workers legislation,
as well as in its enforcement in practice.

Measures
covered will include the exchange of information on posted workers with a focus
on:

—
discrepancies between their wages and the
remuneration of those workers who are in a similar occupation in the host
country,

—
discrepancies between their working time spent
at work and the working time defined in the contract,

—
their real remunerated leave,

—
their living conditions, including occupational
health and safety conditions,

—
their contractual arrangements and the duration
of their posting,

—
their trade union representation in the host
country,

—
how inspectorates work and the frequency of
their control.

which have been put at risk by the financial crisis can be preserved through
short-time working and in-service training. The purpose of the pilot project is
to:

—
promote the exchange of relevant information and
establish and publicise best practices,

—
examine issues and problems potentially arising
when such practices are applied.

Measures are
to be financed to:

—
examine to what extent the introduction of
temporary short-time working, with government financial support, is a suitable
means, in such a financial and economic situation, of preserving jobs without
distorting competition,

—
establish the prospects of success of sending
workers at risk of being laid off to skills agencies,

—
assess what tangible labour market measures
ought to be taken, and at what level, in order to avoid rising youth
unemployment in particular,

—
examine how such labour policy measures change
the living and working conditions of the individuals concerned.

Remarks

This
appropriation is aimed at initiating a ‘Union mobility and integration scheme’
in order to assist migrant workers and thus foster the positive effects of labour
mobility within the Union. Particular attention will be paid to facilitating
the mobility of vulnerable sections of the population, as called for by the
European Parliament in its resolution of 18 December 2008 on the European Job
Mobility Action Plan (2007-2010). Such a scheme will help overcome the
unfavourable conditions for mobile workers to integrate into the host country,
including various social difficulties which they encounter, and help them,
possibly, to return to their country of origin. Two lines of action will be
tested to that end:

—
initiating networks and partnerships of actors
working across the main trajectories of intra-Union worker migration, and

—
creating advice structures (one-stop shops) to
meet the multiplicity of needs of the most vulnerable Union migrants.

The scheme will thus support the Member
States in developing integration and social inclusion policies in order to
address the social difficulties and reap the overall economic and labour market
benefits of mobility. The pilot phase of the scheme will also enable
stakeholders to scale up their activity and prepare for possible future
financing from the European Social Fund.

commercial firms and not-for-profit enterprises capable of taking an innovative
approach to governance and the formulation of welfare indicators which can be
used to quantify the impact on the target groups.

The project
includes:

—
making the business world aware of social
responsibilities through support for firms involved in integrating people into
the labour market,

—
proposals for efficient, effective solutions to
the socio-economic problems suffered by each specific area and target group,
stemming from cooperation between public authorities, commercial firms and
not-for-profit enterprises,

—
production of qualitative and quantitative
results measured in terms of higher employment rates and more stable jobs,
employment of women and integration of vulnerable groups into employment.

Remarks

This preparatory action is intended to
provide young people with access to more employment opportunities and to
encourage and facilitate their work placement throughout the Member States.
With the support of EURES work matching, work placement services will be
provided, granting access to employment opportunities throughout the Union.
This action should be broaden to facilitate also the matching and placement for
apprentices and trainees as a critical element of helping transition from
school or education to work. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized
enterprises, will be encouraged to recruit more young people, including by
financial support.

Target
groups:

—
young people up to 30 years of age, regardless
of their qualifications and work experience as the scheme is not exclusively
tailored for labour market entrants,

—
all legally established businesses, particularly
small and medium-sized enterprises, to assist with reducing the costs of
international hiring that affect mostly smaller companies.

Eligible jobs:

‘Your first EURES job’ will offer young
people apprenticeships, a first work experience or specialised jobs. The scheme
will not support situations of job substitution or precarious employment, or in
any circumstances be contrary to national labour law.

To be
eligible for funding, jobs have also to comply with the following criteria:

—
be located in a EURES member country other than
the country of origin of the young job seeker (transnational vacancies),

—
ensure a work placement for a minimum
contractual period of six months.

The
following costs will be covered:

—
costs generated by the recruitment process and a
recruitment allowance allocated by the EURES member of the country of
destination,

—
a financial incentive for the employer to cover
the mobile worker's integration costs (e.g. induction training, language
course, administrative support) after the recruitment process has been
concluded,

—
the job seeker's travel and subsistence costs
for the first interview and the costs of moving abroad.

Remarks

Based on the
European Parliament's study on new forms of physical and psychosocial health
risks at work (IP/A/EMPL/FWC/2006-205/C1-SC1) and its resolution on the
Community strategy 2007-2013 on health and safety at work (OJ C 41 E,
19.2.2009, p. 14), this pilot project should enhance the implementation of the
recommendations and the exchange of best practice with the assistance of the
European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA). An assessment should be
made as to the appropriateness of a preparatory action with a view to putting
in place a Union instrument to reach the objective of ensuring that 75 %
of the population aged from 20 to 64 is in employment, as set out in the Europe
2020 Strategy, and of promoting the physical and psychological health of older
workers. This pilot project should further investigate possible ways of
improving the health and safety of older people at work and meet the need to
further develop the work already done by OSHA as the ageing workforce will have
a serious financial impact on workers, employers and taxpayers. In particular,
the pilot project should:

—
promote a European work-force with a balance of
youth and maturity which is regarded as being best able to respond to the
rapidly changing circumstances associated with globalisation and to encourage
throughout the Union human resource management with an effective long-term
strategy that permits appropriate adjustments in careers and training by
focussing on developing skills and attenuating the process of decline,

—
encourage and support the activities of the
Member States regarding the gender dimension, among which information on the
impact of the menopause, and the needs of all workers independent of good
working conditions, in particular as they relate to health and safety, flexible
working arrangements and care services,

—
support, at Union level, the development and
dissemination of data regarding typical problems of older workers, such the
decline of physical capacity and fitness and of some psychophysical
capabilities (e.g. perceptiveness, response rate, efficiency of the sense
organs), the increased incidence rate of many diseases of older workers, for
example cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal diseases and hormonal
and metabolic disorders, as well as of the corresponding preventive and
therapeutic actions, including corresponding training of the responsible human
resource management,

—
increase identification, exchange and sharing of
good practices (e.g. case studies) on occupational safety and health of older
workers,

—
encourage the development of initiatives aimed
at opening access to technical advice on the health risks facing older workers,
for SMEs in particular,

—
ensure that existing legal requirements for the
prevention of harm to workers are applied, where necessary specifically for
older workers, among which the consideration of diversity in risk assessment,

—
ensure the integration, or mainstreaming, of
occupational safety and health into general employment policies in areas such
as equality actions, retirement/pension options, human resources and training
issues,

—
ensure the integration, or mainstreaming, of
issues relating to the changing demographic structure of Europe’s workforce
into labour inspection activities and other prevention activities,

—
facilitate development in areas such as
return-to-work and rehabilitation for older workers, including individualised
training, for example after an occupational musculoskeletal disorder.

on the Move’ initiative

Remarks

Youth unemployment is a major challenge in
Europe. Around 5,5 million young people within the Union are currently
unemployed, one in five persons under the age of 25 is out of a job and 15 %
leave school without graduating. The decline in youth employment was growing in
2011 and continues to rise in 2012 reaching 45% unemployment rate in some
Member States. This has severe economic and social consequences for society, as
well as for individuals. Studies show that people who are unemployed while
young are more likely to fall into long-term unemployment later in life and
they are more likely to end up in precarious work. It is consequently of the
utmost importance that Member States help all young people to find a job or to
pursue their education when unemployed, no matter their level of education. In
this sense, the Europe 2020 Strategy sets clear targets for the Member States
to reduce the share of early school leavers to 10 % and raise the employment
rate to 75 % and addresses these problems by means of the flagship initiative
‘Youth on the Move’ calling upon Member States to provide a so-called ‘Youth
Guarantee’ to ensure that all young people are in a job, in further education
or that activation measures are taken within four months of leaving school.
Youth Guarantee is an important element among the innovative approaches to
transition from school to work as reiterated in the Commission Communication
"Youth Opportunities Initiative" of 20 December 2011.

On this
backdrop, the objectives of the preparatory action are the following:

—
target young people including those who are not
in education, nor in apprenticeship, nor employed (so-called NEETs),

—
explore how the Youth Guarantee would work in practice
in the Member States,

—
aim at establishing innovative action as regards
the transition from unemployment to employment of young people and at spreading
this knowledge to all Member States,

—
ensure a job or further education or activation
measures for young people within four months of unemployment.

The project
would therefore include the following measures:

—
supporting investigation and collecting the
experience of existing projects in Member States where a scheme comparable to
the European Youth Guarantee is in force,

—
based on the best practices collected, launching
two or three pilot measures in Member States to establish a Youth Guarantee
locally. This means that relevant stakeholders locally would be supported in
providing counselling and help regarding the implementation of a Youth
Guarantee,

—
designing alternative programmes at local level
for early school leavers to develop their skills and, in this context, putting
a special focus on networking between relevant stakeholders (companies,
schools, youth welfare services) as one important measure to improve the
integration of young people into the labour market,

—
making use of this experience with a view to the
future Union funding schemes relevant to young people and labour market
integration.

Remarks

This preparatory action will build on the
importance of Social Innovation and the emergence of social enterprises.
Together these serve as drivers of change that operate on the basis of viable
business models to further inclusive, socially fairer and environmentally
sustainable growth. They also generate jobs through activities that meet social
needs in the context of sustainable and inclusive development. The objective of
this preparatory action is to identify, develop, promote and disseminate the
good practice of national, regional or local governments and of financial
intermediaries in assisting young or social entrepreneurs at times of high
youth unemployment. As such, the preparatory action will contribute to
realising the potential of young and social entrepreneurship, emphasised also
in the Annual Growth Survey 2012 and in the Commission's April 2012
communication ’Towards a job-rich recovery’. The goal is to improve the
economic and social situation at local level, and the preparatory action will
show ways in which support for young and social entrepreneurship can be most
effectively incorporated into regional, urban or local development strategies.
Special focus will be on the use that could be made, in the 2014-2020 period,
of EU financial instruments, in particular the Structural Funds.

The main task will be to work together with
potential finance providers (in particular managing authorities for structural
fund programmes, notably those financed by the ESF), and financial
intermediaries, including the EIB Group, in a limited number of pilot regions.
This will help develop and establish feasible, suitable and reliable schemes or
funds providing equity or mezzanine funding (including venture philanthropy).
These can be used to support structures providing business development services
and networking facilities, with the aim of stimulating and facilitating the
green shoots of development and growth in social enterprises. Actions may
include feasibility studies, mutual learning, dissemination of good practice,
and targeted assistance to the national or regional authorities, where
appropriate. Where relevant, these actions may build on the results of previous
actions for capacity-building and mutual learning of regional authorities and
financial intermediaries, such as the JESSICA Networking Platform.[4]
The results of these learning pilots will be beneficial for implementation of

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to
provide temporary and targeted support for workers made redundant as a result
of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation where
these redundancies have a significant adverse impact on the regional or local
economy. For applications submitted before 31 December 2011, it may also be
used to provide support to workers made redundant as a direct result of the
global financial and economic crisis.

The maximum amount of expenditure from the
Fund shall be EUR 500 000 000 per year.

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with
point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006, is to provide
additional temporary support for workers who suffer from the consequences of
major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their
reintegration into the labour market.

The actions undertaken by the EGF should be
complementary to those of the European Social Fund. There must be no double
funding from these instruments.

The rules for entering the appropriations
in this reserve and for mobilising the Fund are laid down in point 28 of the
Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 and in Article 12 of Regulation
(EC) No 1927/2006.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
technical assistance measures as provided for by Article 66(1) of Regulation
(EC) No 1698/2005 and in particular the European Network for Rural Development.

Part of this appropriation is intended to
steadily expand the European Rural Solidarity Network, which has been in
operation for two years now.

1. Aim:
to create a European area of solidarity, prevention and research

—
Phase 1: consolidating the current solidarity
network.

—
Phase 2: expanding the network to offer other
European countries the benefits of its expertise in taking preventive action to
safeguard agricultural employment and maintain the economic vitality of rural
areas. There is an urgent need to share and standardise the comprehensive
support schemes already in use and to exchange views on exactly what being ‘in
difficulty’ means, with a view to detecting people who are in this situation,
using common criteria referred to as ‘alarm signals’. These prevention tools
will help newly established support groups to address the problems faced in
rural areas more effectively.

2. Action to be taken: dissemination of
prevention tools

The
following tools need to be disseminated as widely as possible among European
farmers:

—
‘alarm signals’: the basic preventive
self-assessment tool to be used by farmers to assess the difficulties they
face. This tool will enable farmers to determine exactly how bad their
situation is, so that they can seek the assistance of agencies able to help
them out of their difficulties at the earliest possible stage,

—
‘simplified management tool’: this financial
self-assessment tool will enable farmers to assess the financial situation of
their farms and to anticipate difficulties, determine how much scope they have
for investment or diversification and keep to a pre-established recovery plan.
Training in the use of the simplified management tool will be provided by the
individual support groups at national level. The training will be targeted at
people looking after and supporting farmers in difficulty.

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to establish
an exchange programme for young farmers, which would allow for cross-border
exchanges of best practice in farm management, in particular in relation to the
challenges facing European agriculture, in order to aid in the development of
Europe’s rural areas.

This programme would provide an invaluable
opportunity for young farmers to experience at first hand the diverse
agricultural realities in the Union by spending time on farms based in a
different Member State. This exchange of knowledge and experience among
Europe’s young farmers would further equip them to meet the demands of European
consumers, to contribute to food security and to address other challenges
facing European agriculture such as the use of renewable energies, biodiversity
loss and carbon storage.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to set up a
pilot project for assessing the actual costs to farmers of complying with Union
legislation in the fields of the environment, animal welfare and food safety
which goes beyond the standards to which import products are subject. This
legislation concerns inter alia the 18 regulations and directives underpinning
the cross-compliance system, as well as the standards defined as Good
Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) which is also part of the
cross-compliance requirements.

It will be used to conduct a broad study
assessing the compliance costs as described above in all Member States, which
might differ between Member States and even between regions within Member
States because of differing climatic, geological, production, economic and
social features. The study should be conducted by a well established scientific
institute or a consortium of such institutes.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
expenditure incurred by the Commission for collecting and processing
information of all kinds needed for the analysis, definition, promotion,
monitoring, evaluation and implementation of the Union’s common transport
policy, for all transport modes (road, rail, air, sea and inland waterways) and
for all transport sectors (transport safety, internal market of transport with
its implementation rules, optimisation of transport network, passengers’ rights
and protection in all transport modes as well as for all other sectors related
to transport). The main endorsed actions and objectives are intended to support
the Union’s common transport policy, including extension to third countries,
technical assistance for all transport modes and sectors, specific training,
definition of rules of transport safety, promotion of the common transport
policy including establishment and implementation of trans-European network
orientation endorsed by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as
well as strengthening passengers’ rights and protection in all transport modes
and to improve the application and enforcement of existing Regulations on
passenger rights, in particular through awareness-raising activities about the
content of those Regulations, targeted at both the transport industry as well
as the travelling public.

These activities should promote and support
intermodal barrier-free mobility for persons with reduced mobility (PRMs).

In connection with Regulation (EC) No
261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004
establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the
event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, (OJ L
46, 17.2.2004, p. 1), the Commission needs to develop additional measures to
make enforcement of the Regulation more efficient.

The implementation of Regulation (EC) No
1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on
rail passengers’ rights and obligations (OJ L 315, 3.12.2007, p. 14) requires
specific implementation action due to legal reporting requirements of the
Commission and due to the complex interaction of regional, national and
international (COTIF) administrative structures involved in the implementation.
As an important implementation support measure the Commission will conduct a
two year information campaign on passenger rights starting in 2010 and covering
all Member States.

These actions and objectives could be
supported at different levels (local, regional, national, European and
international), for all transport modes and sectors and related to transport,
as well as in technical, technological, regulatory, informative, environmental,
climatic and political fields and for sustainable development.

Air transport has long been one of the
sectors in which the consumer authorities receive most complaints in the Union.
The increase in the number of commercial transactions performed electronically
(using the Internet or a mobile telephone) has merely resulted in more breaches
of European consumer legislation.

One of the main complaints by Union
consumers is that there are no effective means of redress at airports
themselves, particularly when disputes arise as a result of failure on the part
of airlines and other service providers to meet their obligations. The European
consumer and air transport authorities therefore need to work together to
secure an immediate improvement in passenger support and information facilities
at airports and, at the same time, step up co-regulation in the sector.

Single European Sky

The full implementation of the Single
European Sky (four basic Regulations (EC) No 549/2004, (EC) No 550/2004, (EC)
No 551/2004 and (EC) No 552/2004, and more than 20 implementing rules) is a key
priority to improve the performance of the air navigation services in terms of
safety, cost efficiency of the air navigation service provision, reduction of
air traffic flow delays and environmental performance, and hence of air
transport in Europe.

The main
actions consist of:

—
implementation of the EU wide performance scheme
— Commission Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 imposing on air navigation service
providers targets on safety, cost-efficiency, environment and capacity
according to the Commission Decision of 21.2.2011 (2011/121/EU) and
re-assessment by the Commission of the national/FAB-level performance plans in
2012,

—
the defragmentation of European airspace through
the establishment of functional airspace blocks until December 2012 as provided
for in Article 9(a) of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004,

—
implementation of the network functions
centralised at European level, including support to network crisis in
accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 and Commission
Regulation (EU) No 677/2011,

—
reinforcement of the capabilities of the
oversight authorities as identified in the Report presented to Council and the
Parliament on the state of implementation of the Single European Sky in
November 2011,

—
further consolidation of the legislation through
the update and adoption of the Single Sky regulatory roadmap aiming at planning
of development of technical standards and Union specifications,

—
the adoption of a total system approach
integrating for instance the airports, safety, and security dimensions and the
deployment of new technologies resulting from the SESAR programme on research
and development.

Development of land transport security
policy in conjunction with the preparation of the communication on transport
security in 2011 and its subsequent application.

The extension of the Single European Sky
legislation to the South East States though the ECAA Agreement is an important
step for the achievement of the neighbouring policy. This action is based on
Article 7 of the framework Regulation (EC) No 549/2004.

prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of the

programme

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
expenditure on the 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 know-how and developing knowledge 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.

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, must be added to the appropriations
entered in this article. 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 the
‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of
this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from
candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate
countries for participating in Union 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.

of inspectors to check compliance with the requirements of Union security
legislation of airports, ports and port facilities in the Member States,
including extension to third countries, and of ships flying the flag of a
Member State. This expenditure includes the subsistence allowances and travel
expenses of the Commission inspectors and the expenses of inspectors from the
Member States, borne in accordance with the provisions laid down in that
legislation. The costs of training inspectors, of preparatory meetings and of
the supplies needed for inspections must, in particular, be added to that
expenditure.

According to the Commission communication
of 20 July 2010 entitled ‘Towards a European road safety area: policy
orientations on road safety 2011-2020’, enforcement of road traffic rules
should be strongly present in the new road safety policy orientations. Part of
these appropriations will help to strengthen the lack of enforcement on road
safety rules at Union level by establishing a network of national authorities
in charge of road safety with the purpose of advising, disseminating and
sharing good practices, strengthening education and improving the visibility of
progress in road safety. That network will promote the participation at Union
level of, among others, associations of road accident victims, national
prosecutors and members of the police in charge of road safety, Member States
national road safety observatories, experts, universities. The dynamics of that
network should also contribute to the establishment of a European association
of prosecutors for road safety. The full potential of a European enforcement
strategy was indeed not reached during the previous road safety programme, in
particular with the lack of progress on the Commission’s proposal concerning
cross-border enforcement. An agreement has finally been reached with the
Council and, in accordance with the text approved, the Commission ‘should
consult the relevant stakeholders, such as road safety and law enforcement
authorities or bodies, victims’ associations and other non-governmental
organisations active in the field of road safety’ in the forthcoming review
scheduled in the relevant Union legislation.

Remarks

This
preparatory action aims to connect existing local, regional, national and
international traveller information systems as well as to offer the
international public information and the possibility of purchasing tickets
through a single, multilingual interface. This initiative should aim at:

—
creating a European transport information
interface which would be easy to access and provide passengers with real-time
data for any trip in Europe and for any transport mode; this interface could
also provide some information on passenger rights and the environmental
footprint of each trip (CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, etc.) so as
to allow a comparison between transport modes,

—
creating an online booking tool which would
facilitate travelling through Europe, as well as a journey planner, a journey
pricing tool, an availability requests management tool and a ticket integration
tool,

—
connecting international traveller information
systems.

The preparatory action should be based on
Commission Regulation (EU) No 454/2011 of 5 May 2011 on the technical
specification for interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘telematics
applications for passenger services’ of the trans-European rail system (OJ L
123, 12.5.2011, p. 11). In a first stage, the preparatory action should apply
only to a limited number of countries, to a limited number of languages and to
a limited set of data. It should be based on different scenarios presenting
different combination of modes. Particular attention should be paid to the
reservation of assistance for persons with reduced mobility (PRMs).

Remarks

In September 2011, the Commission issued a
staff working paper on a "sustainable waterborne transport toolbox"
describing possible measures to minimise the compliance costs for the industry
in view of the proposed new sulphur limits on sulphur content of marine fuels.
A focus area for the medium to long term is the implementation of clean ship
technology and alternative fuels. LNG is seen as a promising solution to comply
with this regulation and to respond to ship generated air pollution in general.

Despite its excellent safety record, LNG is
perceived as a potential danger by the general public. Action is needed to gain
a comprehensive overview and analysis of potential risks and dangers for LNG
storage, bunkering and handling (ports and ships). This will also include a
generic risk analysis of LNG, i.e.as regards chemical properties, plus the
development, in close cooperation with all concerned stakeholders, of
information and media material aimed at explaining the risks/advantages of LNG
for shipping.

The aim is also to obtain an overview of
market developments as regards the introduction of LNG-fuelled ships or
"LNG ready" ships, as well as LNG fuel provision infrastructure
(on-shore or by bunker barges) in the EU.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the
establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T),
which is held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal
market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 170 to 172 of the Treaty
on the Functioning of the European Union). This contribution takes the form of
co-financing of projects of common interest identified in Decision No
661/2010/EU.

The aim is:

—
to help define projects of common interest,
minimising unclear or contradictory provisions relating to declarations of
common interest and the binding application of environmental legislation,

—
to speed up the Member States’ implementation of
TEN-T projects of common interest by focusing on existing infrastructure within
TEN-T rail projects in the short term, in particular where the implementation
of such projects has already started, in order to make the corridors more
viable and efficient and without simply waiting for the long-term development
of very large projects within these corridors,

—
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 (PPPs),

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

—
 to select examples of regional trans-border
rail connections which have been dismantled or abandoned, with preference going
to those which could interconnect with TEN-T.

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 connecting Europe.

The Commission should, in collaboration
with the European Investment Bank, test the design of new financial instruments
such as those based on a credit enhancement approach (portfolio first loss
piece approach as for the RSFF in the research field) to stimulate the
emergence of European project bonds market for the financing of strategic
trans-European infrastructure. Like PPPs, project bonds do not offer an
exclusive solution to Europe’s budgetary problems. In an environment where
regulation and business strategies in the financial sector are rapidly
changing, an early test of such instruments is needed to remain flexible and to
adjust public policy instruments.

Remarks

These research measures should aim to
contribute to a modal shift in favour of rail, collective/public transport,
non-motorised mobility (cycling/walking) and waterways as well as transport
safety. They should be based on an approach involving interoperability,
intermodality, safety and integration of sustainable development into transport
research (Article 11 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).
Similarly research measures aim at favouring innovative developments in the
aviation mode and in the ATM management across Europe.

This
appropriation is intended to cover action aimed at:

—
developing means of transport and transport
systems for all surface modes (rail, road and inland waterways) which are environmentally
friendly and competitive (including intermodal sustainable mobility chains,
walking-cycling-public/collective transport-car sharing-carpooling in the
context of urban mobility),

—
focusing on research in the areas of traffic
congestion, the mitigation of transport-related climate change, methods of
calculating more accurately the external costs of transport and access to means
of transport and infrastructure for persons of reduced mobility,

—
intensifying socio-economic research on
transport and mobility needs, including potential for reduction of transport
volumes,

—
implementing the technological component of the
single European sky policy (SESAR), in connection with the Clean Sky projects,
integrating reduction of fuel consumption and climate change by aircraft,
taking into account possible effects of vapour contrails on the climate,

—
rebalancing and integrating the different modes
of transport,

—
making rail, road and maritime transport safer,
more efficient and more competitive,

—
supporting European sustainable transport
policy, with priority given to achieving the Union’s CO2 and oil
consumption targets of 20 % and 30 % respectively by 2020 within this
sector,

—
promoting the development of river-adapted ships
for sustainable inland navigation (RASSIN), including win-win effects on saving
money while decreasing investment needs for inland navigation infrastructure
and protection of nature and biodiversity on rivers,

—
supporting alternative fuel and new engine
developments through joint research with a focus on large demonstrations for
all modes of transport.

Remarks

Former article 19 11 05

This preparatory action concerns a
strategic environmental impact assessment on the development of the European
Arctic. Its aim is to increase awareness of the Arctic and its changing
political, economic and environmental landscape, and the impact of Union
policies. Its aim is also to increase awareness of impact assessments and their
importance as a tool and a channel to put together information for the use of
decision and policymakers and the related legal processes.

The strategic environmental impact
assessment on the development of the European Arctic will be carried out as a
networked undertaking, by leading Arctic communication and research centres and
universities within and outside the Union creating a bridge that should
facilitate a two-way information exchange between the Union institutions and
the Arctic stakeholders and foster EU-civil society contacts. Furthermore, the
work should facilitate dialogue within the Union, advance Agenda 21 as well as
bring in the Union perspectives and contributions and be closely linked with
the assessment activities of the Arctic Council, as laid down in its
ministerial meeting in May 2011.

Finally, this preparatory action is
intended to advance the future establishment of the EU Arctic Information
Centre as expressed in the Commission’s Communication on the European Union and
the Arctic region of 20 November 2008 and in the European Parliament’s
resolution of 20 January 2011 on a sustainable EU policy for the High North.

The Council expressed its support for
expanded use of strategic impact assessments in its conclusions on Arctic
issues of 8 December 2009.

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).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a
contribution to the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen. The mission of
the Agency is to provide the Union and the Member States with objective,
reliable and comparable information on the environment at European level, thus
enabling them to take the requisite measures to protect the environment, to
assess the results of such measures and to inform the public.

The EEA
Strategy for the period 2009-2013 adopted by the Management Board on 26
November 2008 is built on three main activities:

—
continuing to support the information needs set
down in Union and international environmental legislation and especially the
Sixth Environment Action Programme,

—
providing more timely assessments on how and why
the environment is changing and whether environmental policies, including the
Sixth Environment Action Programme, the European Union Sustainable Development
Strategy and those in related areas have been effective,

—
improving the coordination and dissemination of
environmental data and knowledge across Europe.

These
activities are addressed through four project areas:

—
environmental themes,

—
cross-cutting themes,

—
integrated environmental assessment,

—
information services and communications.

Each of the thematic areas being addressed
is influenced by a range of societal and sectoral processes in areas such as
agriculture, chemicals, energy, transport or land-use development and planning,
and needs to be seen in a wider international context.

The contributions from the EFTA States
pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular

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. Sustainable coastal development
(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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance a
pilot project to cover research, data collection, evaluation, field visits, and
monitoring, consultations and networking for the development of prevention
activities in order to halt desertification in Europe.

A number of Member States have taken
measures individually in this respect; therefore, numerous examples both of
good and of bad practice exist, alongside interdisciplinary studies and
suggestions, based on but not limited to assessing damage caused by modern
intensive agricultural practices and climate change-related issues.

According to reports from the secretariat
of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Portugal, Spain,
Italy, Greece, Malta, Latvia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey and Belarus, as well as
other countries and regions in the Union and across Europe, are facing this
major environmental and economic problem, and ‘business as usual’ scenarios
show that agricultural productivity is expected to drop even further in the
next few years, thus threatening the security of food supply.

Moreover, desertification results not only
in agricultural losses, but also in loss of biodiversity, reduction in soil
fertility and reduction in the capacity of soil to retain water, increased
erosion and reduced carbon capture. Furthermore, floods and droughts linked to
climate change are becoming more frequent and more drastic in their effects,
increasing to an even greater extent the risk and negative economic and social
consequences of desertification (see paragraph 17 of the European Parliament resolution
of 9 October 2008 on addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in
the European Union (OJ C 9E, 15.1.2010, p. 33).

The pilot
project will involve:

—
best practice exchange,

—
demonstration of innovative approaches,
know-how, new technologies, new methods and instruments, e.g. for water
conservation,

—
development of a monitoring scheme for the
evaluation of information gathered and development of a platform for exchange
of data with and between Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan
and European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries which would be open for
consultation by other stakeholders,

—
awareness-raising campaigns with and between
Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan and ENP countries, as
well as other stakeholders facing this environmental and economic problem, with
the aim of helping to maintain vegetation cover and surface and underground
moisture levels, thus decreasing aridity and halting desertification,

—
development of concrete pilot projects at local
level to support innovative local measures on the conservation of rainwater and
surface water.

The pilot project could be improved in the
future by addressing the issue of desertification on a Europe-wide basis in
bilateral or multilateral agreements.

Remarks

The main aim of this project is to
investigate the detailed weather-related and spatial structure of the
Carpathians and the Carpathian basin with integrated or at least comparable
methods. The basic results will be a contribution to regional climate
variability and change studies, and applied climatology. The climate of the
region has not been described as a geographical unit for about 90 years.

National meteorological measurement
networks have different instruments and often different regulations. Accurate
climate field modelling needs larger areas, but smaller countries cannot be
used as a model for reproducing the climate of neighbouring regions. These
factors make comparison between national maps impossible. Additionally, some
countries have national climate atlases already, while some do not. The project
will collect information on the measurements and on the existing databases. The
next step is the development of climate maps by exchanging data and
information. In parallel with that, data quality and standardisation methods
will be compared. It is suggested that a mapping method be used for which there
is no need for large amounts of data to be exchanged between countries. The
scale of the project will be enlarged to include the south-eastern Europe
region at the next stage in collaboration with the parallel south-eastern
Europe climate mapping project, the precursor of which was the ‘Summer School
on Preparation of Climate Atlas’ organised by the Hungarian Meteorological
Service (http://www.met.hu/pages/seminars/seeera/index.htm) in 2007.

The climate of the Carpathians and the
Carpathian basin is fundamental input information for weather and climate
forecasting. The Carpathians Environment Outlook project (under the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) umbrella), Danube (seventh European
corridor) and the Carpathian basin cover a large part of the watershed area.
What will be produced will be common maps and comparable national climate and
meteorological maps, and there will be a possibility of enlarging the scope of
the project, plus a database of gridded maps for other future large projects.

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to step up
action to protect the environment and manage environmental risks in coastal
areas.

The aim is to foster best practice in the
sustainable management of coastal areas by stepping up existing non-traditional
measures in the sector and exploring the scope for new measures, raising
awareness of the needs of coastal areas and ensuring better stakeholder
behaviour.

This
appropriation is intended to cover the cost of measures put forward by Member
States and local authorities with a view to:

—
establishing an inventory of non-fishing vessels
by analysing the life cycle of such vessels, the materials used to build them
and what happens to them once they are taken out of service,

—
looking into the feasibility of introducing
rules governing the scrapping of obsolete vessels and/or the procedures for the
disposal of such vessels,

—
recycling vessels and the materials used therein
– in particular resins and glass fibre – which are either wasted when disposed
of in landfills or pollute the surrounding area when vessels are abandoned,

—
the possible reuse of recyclable materials,

—
proper management of hazardous waste, in
particular fuel, oil and heavy metals, which need to be decontaminated,

—
conducting public information and awareness
campaigns fostering public debate and the pooling of ideas on environmental and
social issues with a bearing on sustainable development and involving both
maritime firms and private individuals.

including the utilisation of fertilisers and other inputs, the handling of
waste products, the production of renewable energy, the development of carbon
sinks and the use of other climate mitigating practices and technologies. In
order to ensure its relevance throughout the territory of the Union, the
certification scheme to be developed in the pilot project should be tested
through practical trials on a number of farming regions appropriately situated
in various parts of the Union.

Remarks

The aim of this project is to create the
most effective method of controlling the spread of ragweed, as well as
preventing and treating pollen allergies based on international scientific
research, data collection and evaluation.

The
objectives of the project are for the countries involved:

—
to conduct scientific research on the feasibility
and effectiveness of the various types of ragweed control (mechanical,
biological, chemical, etc.),

—
to develop the most effective method for
controlling the spread of ragweed,

—
to conduct studies on the impact of pollen
contamination on society and public health, with special regard to children
under the age of 10, a population group which is seriously affected by
allergies,

—
to assess the costs and damages incurred in
connection with the treatment of patients suffering from ragweed-related
allergies and their complications (medicines, sick leave, loss of earnings,
etc.),

—
to create allergy prevention and treatment
methods in order to reduce allergic diseases and their complications,

—
to develop an effective prevention mechanism for
ensuring that contamination does not spread to Member States which are not yet
affected.

Due to the allergenic properties of its
pollen, the spread of common ragweed is of particular public concern in several
European countries. The most contaminated areas in Europe are in France,
Germany, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. As the
cross-border spread of ragweed pollen is widely acknowledged, eradication
programmes limited to particular countries will not succeed and pan-European
action is needed.

Project title: Literature review on the
potential effects of climate change on drinking water protection areas across
the Union and the identification of priorities among different types of
drinking water supplies

Budget: EUR
500 000.

Project starting date: 1 January 2011.

Project end date: 31 December 2011.

Aim of the project

Given climate change processes, long-term
security of public drinking water supply can be achieved through the
utilisation of vulnerable water reserves (e.g. bank-filtered water protection
areas or other types of drinking water protection areas).

A literature review on the potential
effects of climate change on drinking water protection areas across the Union
will be a first step in a further analysis, alongside results from other
projects, to identify with greater certainty prospective strategic drinking
water reserves for the future.

Short description of the project

Within the scope of the project, a
literature review will be carried out of operating and natural recharge
mechanisms, under extreme climate conditions, for water resources for public
drinking water supply (ground waters, surface waters, karstic waters,
bank-filtered waters) across the Union. The review of the effects of climate change
on different types of drinking water protection areas will involve identifying
priority topics and areas. The outcomes of the literature review will be
compared with the results of other projects, such as the ‘Preparatory action on
climate in the Carpathian region’ dealing with the effects of climate change on
that area. The project will focus inter alia on assessing the vulnerability of
sources of and facilities for drinking water supply and sanitation to climate
change impacts.

The ultimate aim is to ensure the long-term
preservation of vulnerable water protection areas so as to secure a safe public
water supply regardless of the impact of climate change scenarios.

Without an analysis of the impacts of
climate change, efforts to ensure security of supply would not have a proper
basis and may even prove inadequate for keeping drinking water protection areas
secure. In extreme cases, this may result in an inadequate supply of drinking
water.

As the supply of safe water is one of the
world’s major challenges, Europe will gain a competitive advantage if measures
are planned before the impact of unfavourable processes is felt.

Countries concerned

All the countries whose water supply comes
from vulnerable water protection areas (ground waters, surface waters, bank
filtration, karstic systems), particularly those lying along large rivers and
in upland areas. The countries most affected are:

Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Serbia, Poland, Italy, Austria and Germany.

Outcome
of the project:

—
literature review of potential impacts of
climate change on different types of water protection areas across the Union,

—
identification of priority topics and areas.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance a
scheme, encouraged by the Council, to promote the conservation and sustainable
use of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Union’s overseas countries and
territories, drawing on the experience gained with Union nature conservation
programmes such as Natura 2000, from which most outermost regions and overseas
countries and territories are excluded.

The BEST scheme steps up the financial
means to protect biodiversity and promote the sustainable use of ecosystem
services in Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories, with a
view to reconciling the environmental and development needs of these specific
areas.

Found in every ocean, from polar to
tropical latitudes, the EU Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and
Territories are home to a unique diversity of species and ecosystems of global
significance, which are highly vulnerable to human impacts, invasive species
and increasingly the impacts of climate change.

The voluntary scheme aims therefore to
develop solutions that maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems and reduce the
pressures on biodiversity. The financing supports the designation and
management of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems,
promoting natural solutions to fight climate change, including the restoration
of mangroves and the protection of coral reefs. The program also has to promote
research in these areas, in particular by financing international research and
educative programs. The scheme encourages the development of frameworks and the
creation of partnerships between local administrations, civil society,
researchers, universities, land-owners and the private sector. It serves to
reinforce cooperation on environment and climate change issues.

It is necessary to extend the preparatory
action for one more year to enable the European Commission to propose a more
sustainable instrument dedicated to the protection of biodiversity in the EU
overseas entities.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a
pilot project assessing the effectiveness of the plastic recycling cycle at
Union level and its potential loopholes, with a specific emphasis on water and
marine environmental impacts. In-depth local or regional assessments, as well
as studies focusing on coastal areas, could also be developed under this pilot
project in order to identify concrete challenges, good practices and
recommendations for action.

The assessment and study carried out under
this pilot project would therefore aim at identifying technical loopholes and
deficiencies in the plastic recycling chain in the Union, as well as potential
legislative improvement in order to reduce the amount of land-based plastic
reaching the marine environment.

Objectives of the project

The Carpathian basin is a unique
geographic, climatic, ecological and economic region of Europe which spreads
across eight countries of which five are Member States. The main water source
of the region is the atmospheric precipitation - the other being the water
import delivered by the Danube River. To retain, secure, regulate and use
precipitation within the basin is highly influenced by land use patterns. Soil
is a major factor of water storage with an ability to influence amount,
dynamics, distribution, availability and quality of water. The aim of the
project is to provide reliable scientific bases, plausible means of methodology
for implementation, protection and efficient use of fresh water derived from
atmospheric precipitation in the Carpathian basin.

Short description of the project and its
key tasks

An inventory and analysing review of
research results related to the fields listed above. The use of precipitation
by means of appropriate and advanced land use patterns. The improvement of
water storage and influencing amount, dynamics, distribution, availability and
quality of water. The elaboration of patterns of protection and efficient use
of fresh water in the Carpathian basin. A review of scientific results and
implementation techniques in the field of sustainability, sustainable
ecosystems, and also in relation to nature conservation and environmental
protection. A review of climate change impacts on different water resources,
reserves, surface and subsurface water bodies, their utility, vulnerability and
future prospects; establishment of on site case studies in favour of testing
various water retaining land use patterns under different ecological conditions
representing various soil-climatic types and different cropping and management
systems. Making recommendations for further use. Creating a compendium of
adaptation actions in the Carpathian basin and across Europe. The proposed
project does not only focus on the Carpathian region: the geographical focus of
the project covers additional geographical areas within the Union, upstream and
downstream regions of the Danube River, for which the implementation of natural
water retention measures can be applied, in relation to climate change and
socio-economic scenarios.

Countries involved

Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania,
Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria.

Expected results

Short-term results: compilation and
dissemination of research results in the field of atmospheric precipitation
protection and use efficiency. Direct access to data, information and
evaluations (common database).

Long-term results: elaborating a
methodology on the assessment and management of atmospheric precipitation in
relation to water availability. Contributing to decision makers in the field of
fresh water use and management at local, regional and European level.
Supporting of European policies, especially Environment for Europe (EfE) and
Assessment of Assessments (AoA) tasks, with regard to environmental, social,
health, economic and rural development issues.

Remarks

The river district authorities submit that
the River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) will be operational by 2012 and they
will deliver their results by 2015 or at a later stage. A comparison of the major
River Basin Management Plans’ pressures and measures is necessary for the
European Parliament to understand the different approaches and their relation
with other policy areas.

The project will aim at scrutinising the
RBMPs of the major districts in the Union. The project will use the same
software to compare the pressures (load of pollutants, flows) and in the end
the measures listed by the district authorities in order to restore good
status. The expected outcome is a pan-European view on the pressures and
concerns supported by a comparable geographical analysis, land occupations
patterns, and economical perspectives. Specific areas of concern will be:
source water protection measures, rural, urban and industrial pressures

Involved countries: Danube and Rhine
riparian countries, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and Poland.

Outcome of the project: Homogenous
perspective on pressures and solution throughout the Union on water management.

Remarks

There is a call to minimise the energy
consumption of housing, resulting in the design of ‘carbon-neutral’ housing,
rooting in better isolation and in energy consumption increase, inter alia by
heat recovery. Close to 50 % of household water is heated for domestic
purposes (cleaning, hygiene etc.), and this long-term tendency will impact
water supply both quantitatively and qualitatively, and waste water services
also in terms of quantity, quality and heat content.

Countries involved

Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and France.

Outcome of the project

The proposed amount would be used for
several demonstration sites, which would provide a concrete example of the
mid-term impact of current energy saving policies on the urban water cycle.

Remarks

This pilot project aims at assisting Member
States in reaching the target laid down in Directive 2008/56/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for
community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy
Framework Directive) (OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19) of achieving good
environmental status (‘GES’) for EU coastal and inland waters by 2020 through
environmental action using an innovative collection and recovery system. The
project will engage the Union’s fishing community along with Union’s plastics
producers, converters and recyclers in cleaning up floating marine litter on EU
coastal and inland waters. Fishermen shall be funded through the European
Fisheries Fund (EFF) to go on special trips to collect floating marine debris
in their coastal regions. The project shall use an innovative trawl system
which is capable of collecting between 2 and 8 tonnes of floating marine debris
per trawl. This trawl system has been developed in cooperation with fishermen
so as not to detrimentally affect marine life or collect anything but floating
marine debris. Fishermen shall use this trawl in coastal waters whilst static
trawls may be used on inland waters. Following the recovery of marine litter,
recyclers shall then assess its recycling potential. Where the waste is not fit
for recycling energy recovery shall be the solution. However the aim is to make
a high percentage of recovered waste suitable for recycling. The project shall
conduct tests for a period of two years (July 2012 to July 2014) in several
Member States (to be defined following Member States initial assessment(s) —
July 2012 under Directive 2008/56/EC). During this period, the project shall
monitor the volumes, geographic location and consistency of marine litter
collected by means of an online monitoring system, through which Member States
may study problem areas and progress made on collection, recycling and the
cleaning of coastal and inland waters. A benchmarking system will be set up to
assist in better defining GES. The tests will take into account the initial
assessment Member States must produce by July 2012 and the benchmarking system
will be consistent with indicators that Member States will have defined (under
Directive 2008/56/EC).

The intention is that following the pilot
tests, Member States shall be able to take over the running of the trawls and
recovery systems whilst continuing to record data on volumes, location, etc. of
marine litter and recycling. By doing this Member States shall be provided with
a valuable tool (depending on the outcome of the project, i.e. the quantities
of marine litter recovered) which will contribute and anticipate on reaching
the legal obligations set out in Directive 2008/56/EC, namely achieving GES for
EU coastal and inland waters. Furthermore, following the expiry of the project
and the potential taking over of these actions by regions, Member States shall
be provided with a tool for maintaining this GES for EU waters. Through these
environmental actions and the synergies created between the fishing community
(EFF), industry and national authorities, marine litter may not only be tackled
sufficiently to contribute towards GES, but also the marine litter may be
avoided and the sustainability of EU waters and a healthy marine environment
may be achieved.

If at the end of the tests the quantity of
marine debris found in EU coastal waters is low or even negligible, this
project will have demonstrated the success of Member States in reaching GES for
coastal and inland waters. In this case it will make sense for Member States to
continue to use primarily inland static trawls (which are placed on river weirs
and other locations where they will not impede marine traffic) in order to
avoid marine litter reaching coastal waters and becoming an even greater
problem to the marine environment and potentially, to human health through the
ingestion of micro plastics by marine organisms and their potential to enter
the human food chain.

Remarks

This pilot project will take one year and
is aimed at investigating the availability and use of cooling water for the
production of nuclear and fossil energy. Energy produced from fossil and
nuclear sources requires large quantities of cooling water. During the heat
wave of 2003, several energy-generating plants across Europe were forced to
halt energy production due to the lack of cooling water. The shutdown of
nuclear power plants, e.g. in France, Germany and Spain did not affect domestic
production, but caused energy exports to drop considerably. With climate change
exacerbating weather conditions, water resources will very likely decrease
further, thus making this resource even scarcer. It is necessary to conduct a
study on the current need for cooling water for nuclear and fossil energy
production while taking the location of existing and future power plants (and
their proximity to water sources) into consideration. The project will build on
finalised and current assessments (such as ClimWatAdapt) to provide a detailed
picture of the vulnerability of the energy/water system, including an inventory
of power plants and its vulnerability to floods, droughts, heatwaves, etc.

Involved countries

All Member States.

Outcome of the project

Guidelines for the location of future power
plants, identification and quantification of the investments needed to decrease
the vulnerability of existing power plants.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
expenditure linked to the implementation of a pilot project for new knowledge
for an integrated management of human activity in the sea. The purpose of this
pilot project is to develop a new monitoring concept and new decision making
tools for the integrated assessment of the ecosystem of the seas. This would
entail the further development and the testing of measuring systems with the
aim of creating a single European standard. The aim is to support the
development of integrated monitoring strategies, based on existing sampling
across various disciplines, scope potential for joint programmes and use of
existing platforms for multiple purposes. The pilot project would demonstrate a
practical way in which current effort could be redeployed to more efficiently
use existing resources and thus facilitate improved management of human
activities. Developing integrated monitoring tools at this scale would serve to
meet the objectives of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in
the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive)
(OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19) and to potentially reduce Member States monitoring
costs (e.g. multi-use of existing monitoring platforms) i.e. resource
efficiency. However, the pilot project could help test strategic approaches to
the integrated monitoring of human activities and their effects on the
environment and thereby support upcoming requirements of Member States to
develop monitoring programmes by 2014 under the Directive 2008/56/EC.

Remarks

Due to the loss of species-rich grassland
for flora and fauna in Europe and north-western Germany nature conservation
efforts should focus on stopping the decrease, preserving those valuable
grassland habitats and transforming species-poor grassland into species-rich
grassland.

In contrast with activity-based standards
for classical agricultural and environmental programmes, results-oriented
programmes should reward actual achievements (achievements and price) through
tenders in order to secure more effective protection of habitats and species.

Remarks

This pilot project seeks to investigate and
promote improved techniques of resource efficiency on farms through the
recycling of raw materials, processing animal manure into renewable energy and
fine-tuning the fertilisation of plants and crops. The funding will be used to
instigate on-farm projects in different Member States that will look at new and
innovative ways of managing resources more efficiently and close the mineral
cycles on farm. Sharing knowledge and best practices among the farming
community is a central element in this approach. The main findings of these
projects will be shared within all Member States and used for Union’s policy
making purposes with regard to goals of the EU-2020 Strategy. Examples of the
projects that will be undertaken are: the increased use and production of
renewable energies on farm, recycling of animal and crop waste, better water
and soil management, more targeted use of fertilisers on arable crops and
grassland, and uptake of new technologies in livestock production.

Under the
LIFE+ programme, this appropriation is intended to finance measures to support
the Commission’s role in initiating policy and legislation development and
implementation in the area of climate action, taking into account the following
priorities:

—
ensuring the implementation of the European
Union commitments under the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change,

—
developing new policies and further
implementation of the ‘Climate and Energy’ package,

—
ensuring the adaptation of the Union economy and
society to the adverse impacts of climate change and mitigating such impacts,

—
 ensuring the implementation and use of
market-based instruments, in particular greenhouse gas emission trading, in
order to achieve via a cost-efficient emission reduction, the ‘20/20/20’
climate/energy targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy supporting the transition
towards a low-carbon economy/society.

This
appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission
through:

—
studies and evaluations, economic analyses and
modelling of scenarios,

—
administrative arrangements with DG JRC,

—
cooperation with Eurocontrol on implementation
of aviation and ETS,

—
services with a view to the implementation and
integration of environmental policy and legislation in the area of climate action,

—
conferences, seminars and workshops with experts
and stakeholders,

—
developing and maintaining networks, databases
and information and computer systems directly linked to the implementation of
Union climate policy and legislation, in particular when improving public
access to environmental information. The expenditure covered will include the
costs of development, maintenance, operation and support (hardware, software
and services) of policy support systems, in particular the Community
Independent Transaction Log (CITL) and EU Single Registry and the Ozone
Depleting Monitoring System (ODS). It will also cover the cost of project
management, quality control, security, documentation and training linked to the
implementation of these systems,

—
information, publication and dissemination
activities, including events, exhibitions, audio-visual productions and similar
awareness‑raising measures to promote climate action objectives, the
transition towards a low-carbon economy/society or the climate action sub-programme
of the newly proposed LIFE+ Regulation 2014-2020.

The measures financed by LIFE+ may be
implemented through grants or procurement procedures.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover
work needed to underpin the Union’s developing policy on the mainstreaming of
climate action into other policies and programmes and adaptation to climate
change, as basis for impact assessment and the preparation of future policy
decisions.

Climate action is put forward as one of the
central pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Achieving the Union climate goals
means reducing emissions significantly more quickly in the next decades than in
the last decade.

In addition, the move to a low carbon,
resource efficient and climate resilient economy will require harnessing the
contribution of many Union policies (in particular cohesion, agricultural,
rural development, research and innovation, transport and energy programmes,
external action, etc.) to climate action, in particular through mainstreaming
and adaptation measures.

The
preparatory action should therefore cover conferences, studies and preparatory
work aimed at:

—
identifying the structural and technological
changes required to move to a low carbon, resource efficient and climate
resilient economy by 2050 through a pathway and the intermediate milestones in
2030,

—
identifying actions, strategies and legal
instruments to be undertaken at Union, national, regional and local levels to
mitigate climate change and adapt to its impact (for instance through funding
improvements in infrastructure and production methods in vulnerable sectors)
and meet the 20/20/20 climate objectives set by the Union in the 2020 Strategy,

—
developing innovative support mechanisms to
develop low carbon and adaptation policies and strategies, including possible
new financial instruments to fully exploit the potential of new technologies,
to reduce losses caused by climate-change-related events, such as severe
drought and flooding and extreme climate events, as well as to develop the
Union’s capacity for disaster prevention and response,

—
supporting the development of ‘climate proofing’
tools, risk based assessments of programmes and measures to enhance adaptive
capacity and resilience to climate change support and ‘climate tracking’
methodologies to monitor climate related expenditure under the mainstreaming
objective in the next multiannual financial framework ‘to increase the
proportion of climate mainstreaming to at least 20 % of the future EU
total budget’, with contribution from different policies,

—
cooperation with relevant international organisations,
their institutions and bodies, shall be possible where needed for the purpose
of achieving the climate action objectives.
