Having regard to the outcome of the budget conciliation of 18 November 2009,

Having regard to the amendments adopted by Parliament on the modifications to its amendments on 17 December 2009,

Having regard to Rule 75e of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure,

Having regard to the resolution adopted by Parliament on 17 December 2009,

Whereas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | Until 30 November 2009, the budgetary procedure for the 2010 budget was conducted under Article 272 of the Treaty establishing the European Community. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | As a result of the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, the procedure initiated under Article 272 of the Treaty establishing the European Community is to be completed under Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and, in particular, is to be concluded by declaration of the President of the European Parliament in conformity with Article 314(9). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | In order to enable the budgetary procedure for the 2010 budget to be completed within the time limits laid down in Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission, under the present exceptional circumstances, consider the budgetary procedure to be a continuum under the two abovementioned Treaties, such that the stages of the procedure completed under the Treaty of Nice will deploy their effects following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | During the budgetary conciliation of 18 November 2009 the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission agreed to a joint declaration on the continuity of the 2010 budgetary procedure [(6)](#ntr6-L_2010064EN.01000101-E006), underlining that the stages of the procedure completed under the Treaty establishing the European Community exceptionally deploy their legal effects on the following part of the procedure laid down in Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | In this regard, the three institutions consider that the agreement reached by the European Parliament and the Council at the conciliation meeting on 18 November 2009, followed by and incorporated in the Council’s and Parliament’s respective second readings of the 2010 budget, is to be considered in substance as an agreement on a joint text within the meaning of Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in full compliance with the multiannual financial framework. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (6) | This agreement also relates to the other items amended in the European Parliament’s second reading conducted in full compliance with the multiannual financial framework. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (7) | In a statement made in Plenary on 17 December 2009 on the amendments adopted by Parliament on that date before the definitive adoption of the budget for 2010, this agreement was confirmed by the Council. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (8) | It follows from the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union [(7)](#ntr7-L_2010064EN.01000101-E007) that the main prerequisite for the budgetary procedure to be regularly completed is the explicit and unambiguous agreement, by both arms of the budgetary authority, on all items on which an agreement is required; and whereas this requirement has thus been complied with, |

DECLARES:

Sole Article

The procedure initiated under Article 272 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and Article 177 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community and continued under Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union is complete and the European Union's general budget for the financial year 2010 has been definitively adopted.

Done at Strasbourg, 17 December 2009.

The President

J. BUZEK

A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 141 452 827 822 in commitment appropriations and EUR 122 937 000 000 in payment appropriations, representing a growth rate of 3,57 % and of 8,76 % respectively by comparison with the 2009 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 122 937 000 000. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden for which the rate of call has been fixed at 0,225 %, 0,15 %, 0,10 % and 0,10 % respectively) whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,7894 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 11,55 % of the financing of the budget for 2010. The VAT resource accounts for 11,35 % and the GNI resource for 75,94 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 430 296 272.

The own resources needed to finance the 2010 budget account for 1,03 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,24 % of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources ([OJ L 163, 23.6.2007, p. 17](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:163:TOC)).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2010 budget.

Since 2009 these custom duties relating to the agricultural sector are integrated in the Article 1 2 0 (Custom duties and other duties referred to in Article 2(1)(a) of Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom).

Figures are net of collection costs.

The common organisation of the market in the sugar sector provides that sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers pay basic and B production levies. These levies are intended to cover market support expenditure.

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

Figures are net of collection costs.

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

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

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2008 will be used for research in 2010. 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 2010 comes to EUR 53 859 500.

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

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

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

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2008 will be used for research in 2010. 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 2010 comes to EUR 53 859 500.

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

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. Community/EU action generally complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

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

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.

Remarks

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

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 Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme addresses persistent recognised market gaps leading to poor access to equity, venture capital and loans for SMEs, through Community Financial Instruments operated on behalf of the Commission by the EIF, the Union’s specialised institution for providing venture capital and guarantee instruments for SMEs.

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any revenue from dividends paid by the EIF during 2007 to 2010, entered in Article 8 5 0 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item, in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

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

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

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

|  |  |

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

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

The Union will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of EU relevance which have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover an action ensuring that experience is exchanged and reinforced at European level for the benefit of young entrepreneurs and potential young entrepreneurs by means of traineeships in another country within SMEs 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. SMEs) 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 e-sharing in key sectors and increased internationalisation of companies. Provision should be made for ancillary activities (support for language learning, and courses in European contracts and commercial law, the common market, European standardisation, European support tools, as well as the local business environment). The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry, craft associations) should help to support, co-ordinate and promote this programme at national level.

Former Article 02 02 08

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, |

Remarks

Former Article 04 03 08

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 European 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) would be 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 would make 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 2010 programme objectives are based on the measures identified within the 2009 study (through a call for tender), that is 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 facing difficult social circumstances, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | examine the difficulties related to such exchanges whilst proposing the most appropriate solutions, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | propose one or several mechanisms in the tourist low season enabling particular target groups (senior citizens, young people, citizens with disabilities and families facing difficult social circumstances) to go on holiday in other Member States/candidate countries on the basis of themed programmes and accommodation offers coordinated by Member States/candidate countries authorities (national, regional or local public authorities), on the basis of initiatives from stakeholders that include municipalities, charitable organisations, parishes, unions, social partners, cooperatives or any not-for-profit association. |

02 02 12   Pilot project — Facilitating access to insurance by self-employed builders and small building firms so as to stimulate innovation and the promotion of 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 SMEs (with fewer than 250 employees), which generate 78 % of the industry’s turnover. Increased use of eco-technologies and eco-innovations in the building trade is, however, dependent on a combination of factors, such as additional cost, product availability, consumer demand and skill levels within firms.

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

The European Union therefore needs to introduce an instrument that will provide effective support for small building firms, which are of central importance to the attainment of the 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 an EU/Community financial instrument that will, over a limited period, make it easier for small building firms to gain access to construction insurance when using eco-technologies in building projects.

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

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

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restrictive practices (Article 81 of the EC Treaty/Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the EC Treaty/Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), aids granted by States (Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty/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 or the General Court.

This appropriation is intended to cover any expenditure arising from damages awarded by the Court 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 Union 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 Lisbon Strategy and the Social Agenda and within the context of EU 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 will therefore be used to finance consultations, meetings, negotiations and other operations designed to achieve these objectives.

In addition, as the heading suggests, this appropriation can cover support for industrial relations measures, in particular, those designed to develop expertise and the exchange of EU-relevant information.

This appropriation may also 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 subprogrammes have been established:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support for European social dialogue, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | improvement of expertise in industrial relations. |

In addition, this appropriation covers 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 the Union level.

Remarks

This appropriation is aimed at initiating an ‘EU 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 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-EU worker migration, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creating advice structures (one-stop shops) to meet the multiplicity of needs of the most vulnerable EU 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.

| --- | --- |
| — | increase the number of employment sectors through which vulnerable sections of the population can be integrated into society and employment (agricultural, industrial, commercial sectors, etc.), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | create networks linking public institutions, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the 2007 to 2013 rural development programmes funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).

Of the total commitment appropriations in this item, an amount of EUR 1 865 900 000 results from the compulsory modulation in conformity with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. In addition an amount of EUR 429 800 000 results from the voluntary modulation in conformity with Regulation (EC) No 378/2007. Rural development measures under all axes will be measured against more refined performance indicators for farming systems and production methods so as to respond to the challenges related to climate change, water protection, biodiversity and renewable energies. Member States shall report on action taken on the new challenges in rural development measures, including the milk sector.

Based on the legally binding commitments which the EU agreed upon in connection with the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in farming practices, rural development programmes will include the setting-up, management and European coordination of data and seed conservation in open sources for seed exchange. Material and data gathered in these open seed banks for biodiversity, which will focus on the conservation of local and traditional varieties, will be accessible to governmental and non-governmental organisations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to set up a pilot project for assessing the actual costs to farmers of complying with EU 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.

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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)).

Remarks

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

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

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 European Union’s common transport policy, for all transport modes (inland, air, sea and river) 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 European 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 as well as strengthening passengers’ rights and protection to all transport modes and to enforce 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, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 ([OJ L 46, 17.2.2004, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:046:TOC)), the Commission needs to develop additional measures to make enforcement of the Regulation more efficient.

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, 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 European 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 EU 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 coregulation in the sector.

Part of this appropriation will be used to establish a pilot project to set up an integrated air passenger support system at European Union airports, based on a single helpdesk and information system that is shared and maintained by all the stakeholders at European level. This will provide passengers with a guarantee that, whichever EU airport they are in, any complaints or requests for information that they make will be dealt with in the same manner, with support being provided by the local consumer authorities and coordinated through the information networks already in place within the EU.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex ‘European Economic Area’ 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 EU/Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Part of the appropriation will be used for the revised Marco Polo programme and for a specific inland waterway programme, taking into account its environmental benefits, its specific characteristics and the benefits it will bring small and medium-sized enterprises.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1692/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing the second Marco Polo programme for the granting of Community financial assistance to improve the environmental performance of the freight transport system (Marco Polo II) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1382/2003 ([OJ L 328, 24.11.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:328:TOC)).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN), which is held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 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 the Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (Decision No 1692/96/EC).

The aim is:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to help define projects of common interest, 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 trans-European transport network 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, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | 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 connections between old and new Member States and the reunification of Europe.

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 European 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 (Texts adopted, P6\_TA(2008)0473)).

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 the 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 (SEE) region at the next stage in collaboration with the parallel SEE 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).

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

The aim of the pilot project is to develop a certification scheme for low-carbon farming practices in the EU. The scheme should target the whole farming sector and should aim to take into account all the main factors contributing to carbon emissions from farming, 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 EU, 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 the 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:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 1. | to conduct scientific research on the feasibility and effectiveness of the various types of ragweed control (mechanical, biological, chemical, etc.); |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 2. | to develop the most effective method for controlling the spread of ragweed; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 3. | 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; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 4. | 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.); |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 5. | to create allergy prevention and treatment methods in order to reduce allergic diseases and their complications; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 6. | 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 starting date: 1 January 2010.

Project end date: 31 December 2011.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a preparatory action on an EU rapid response capability 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 the 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 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 Europe’s collective preparedness for major disasters and paves the way for the EU Civil Protection Force.

Legal basis

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

Remarks

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

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

For all appropriations under this Title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme 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 to 2013) ([OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:412:TOC))), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

Also entered against these Articles and Items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the 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 RTD strategy.

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 lead to additional appropriations being made available 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 lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from States taking part in the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research will be entered in Item 6 0 1 6 of the of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in EU/Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution by outside bodies to EU/Community activities will be entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

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 (e.g. HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, new or reappearing pandemics, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), rare diseases and neurodegenerative diseases).

An increased share of funding should go to research on non-HIV poverty-related tropical and neglected diseases, with special attention to research on tuberculosis (TB).

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.

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

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

Remarks

Increasing investment in research and development up to the 3 % objective and improving its effectiveness is a top priority under the Lisbon Strategy for growth and employment. 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 EU level, through the provision of structured information, indicators and analysis, and through actions aimed at coordination of research policies, in particular application of the open method of coordination to research policy.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto.

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 EU strategy. It must be accompanied by a strong and focused European R & D 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.

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 content online. In line with this, the programme will focus on practical help for the end user and in particular children, parents, carers, teachers and educators.

The specific objectives 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, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | 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 designing adequate 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.

This includes 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, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | networks and national actions bringing together a variety of stakeholders to ensure action throughout Europe and to facilitate coordination activities and 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. They 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). It is a new legal instrument in the context of the 2007 to 2013 financial framework.

Actions will be stepped up at EU level for stimulating wider uptake of ICTs. Synergistic actions at EU level aim to reduce uncertainties and 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 Policy Support programme shall provide for the following actions:

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | development of an inclusive information society and more efficient and effective services in areas of public interest, and improvement of the quality of life, particularly for 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, 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 EU, 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.

The ICT PSP in the CIP will stimulate wider uptake of ICT for improved services. It will ensure also that European businesses and in particular SMEs can benefit from the new opportunities brought by the increasing demand for these ICT-based services. 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 be also 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 SMEs) or public organisations.

Remarks

The objective of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) and the theme ‘Information and Communication Technologies’ of the specific programme ‘Cooperation’ is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments in ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met.

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base and insure 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 theme also supports other policies of the European Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands.

Activities cover collaboration, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. Also entered in this article are 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.

To the appropriations entered in this item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto.

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 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 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.

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

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

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

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

The Commission will furthermore introduce greater flexibility and make the rules governing the financial activities of RACs clearer and more transparent so that these shortcomings no longer prevent RACs from spending their budget allocations in full.

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

This appropriation also covers funding for cooperation and training seminars for third countries in the fight against illegal fishing.

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

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 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 EU 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. This single access point should be implemented by the end of 2010. The European 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 its May 2008 action plan on Single Market Assistance Services 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

This appropriation is intended to finance the preparatory, monitoring, administrative and technical support, evaluation, audit and inspection measures necessary for implementing Regulation (EC) No 1080/2006.

The aim of the proposed Convention for Urban and Rural Europe (CURE) is to offer — at the time of the mid-term review of EU programmes and financial perspectives in 2009/2010 — recommendations on policy frameworks and measures which will assist a sustainable approach to the future of urban and rural areas in Europe, achieved through effective partnership between governments and civil society.

The convention process will enable European citizens and stakeholders to contribute to the revision and design of European policies concerning sustainable rural-urban relations. It is designed to bring together rural and urban interests through a series of thematic seminars based in different European regions and European civil society networking.

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

The process should reach a climax at a convention gathering, with the following main outputs:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | proposals for changes in policy frameworks and measures that appear to merit consideration at the mid-term review of EU programmes in 2009/2010, especially regarding regional and rural development and territorial cohesion. |

Part of the appropriation is intended for financing sustainable and environmentally friendly actions (Green New Deal) that provide for reconciling economic, social and environmental development requirements and for recovery of European regions after the economic and financial crisis.

This appropriation is also intended to finance a one-stop shop to help applicants for renovation of buildings or for construction of new buildings, with a view to ‘positive energy’ or ‘passive’ buildings, in the context of the directive on energy performance of buildings.

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 European 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 an EU 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 EU level.

The European Parliament has been a pioneer in promoting Roma rights; its first resolution on the issue goes back to 1984. During the previous 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, the European Parliament urged ‘the Commission to develop a European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion aimed at providing policy coherence at EU 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, the European Parliament reiterated those requests and again called on the Commission and the Member States, within the framework of an EU 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 EU and national level, making full use of the opportunities provided by EU 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 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 June conclusions, it stated that ‘… it looks forward to the results (…) of the forthcoming conference on this issue to be held in September. 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 European Union.

The first principle of the pilot project is to encourage and support the mobility of both elected local and regional representatives within the European 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.

Remarks

This project aims to develop a comprehensive strategy that would promote knowledge of, and experience from, EU 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 EU cohesion policy model as a success story through a number of regional dialogues, the EU 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 (FOGAR, 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 new Lisbon Agenda growth and employment targets and the recommendations set out in the European Parliament resolution of 11 July 2007 on financial services policy (2005 to 2010) — White Paper, with particular reference to the need for a micro-credit action plan.

The purpose of the preparatory action is to:

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

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, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a cross-cutting programme: incorporating four key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language learning and ICT-related activity 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.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Jean Monnet: to support European institutions and associations active in the field of European integration as well as funding a European Parliament professorship, the ‘EP-Geremek European Civilization Chair’ at the College of Europe in Warsaw in honour of Professor Bronisław Geremek and establishing a board, involving the Geremek foundation (‘Centrum Imienia Profesora Bronisława Geremka’), one of the purposes of which could be to grant an annual award. |

These actions and programmes should strive to strengthen intercultural dialogue.

The integrated programme and its actions should comprise measures to promote language learning at all educational and vocational training levels, for learners (general education, vocational training and continuous training) as well as for teachers and trainers.

The integrated programme should include measures to promote learning the languages of neighbouring countries and the setting-up of an Internet platform to coordinate the language learning process, offer aids, including self-study aids, and also support cooperation and best-practice exchange. Take-up of a grant will be subject to bilateral cooperation requiring neighbouring countries’ languages to be studied on both sides of the border. The project will be geared in particular towards young people (school pupils and students) and local schools. The internet platform will be accessible to all interested persons.

These measures should also consist of initiatives intended to safeguard, foster and strengthen lesser-used languages, such as the languages of smaller Member States, enabling them to sustain and increase their vitality, especially in the literary, journalistic and broadcasting fields, which are the prime source of linguistic innovation, as well as of conservation, thus putting into greater practice the European Union’s philosophy of language diversity, multilingualism and subsidiarity.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex ‘European Economic Area’ 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 EU/Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

The New Enhanced European Neighbourhood Policy, as projected by the Council and the European Parliament in their respective decisions and resolutions, especially in the light of the two major neighbourhood political projects, the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership, necessitates preparing future EU interlocutors, i.e. personnel for EU-ENP-related jobs in the 16 neighbourhood countries, from Morocco to Belarus. They should be fully and professionally acquainted with the substance and spirit of EU policies and law institutions and the acquis communautaire. That necessitates a focused and sophisticated offer, which can be delivered only by a highly recognised academic institution already specialising 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, specialising in non-EU neighbourhood and border policies (the Frontex agency being based in Warsaw) — are best placed to offer tailor-made programmes.

Remarks

On 11 July 2007, the Commission adopted the White Paper on Sport (COM(2007) 391), which is the first comprehensive Commission policy document in this area. The White Paper creates a policy framework for sport at EU level, defines its specific role and values, and identifies problems and challenges. In the conclusion, the White Paper states that ‘the Commission may return to this issue and indicate further steps in the context of a new Treaty provision’. The White Paper thus paved the way towards the implementation of the provisions on sport in the Treaty of Lisbon after ratification (Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union).

The objective of the preparatory action in the field of sport for 2009 was to prepare future EU actions in the field of sport with a view to implementation of the Treaty of Lisbon after ratification on the basis of priorities set in the White Paper on Sport.

This objective should be also pursued in 2010 with the proposed preparatory action which will contribute to identifying future policy actions in the area of sport and testing the establishment and functioning of suitable networks and good practices which can serve as a basis for a future EU programme. This preparatory action may include actions stimulating joint transfrontier sport competitions, more particularly in neighbouring regions and Member States (by merging two or three former national or regional competitions). This should ultimately provide an EU added value through the identification and dissemination of best practices and innovative approaches and through the development of comparative research. In view of the specific organisational characteristics of the sport sector, the Programme would address categories of stakeholders who are not addressed by existing EU programmes, and in particular sport organisations. It should create a critical mass by grouping together sport-related organisations and projects around specific themes.

Remarks

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

EUR 1 800 000 is intended for various cross-border measures organised by the Government of the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain) as part of the ‘Xacobeo 2010’ programme.

EUR 2 000 000 is to be allocated for organising the 10th biannual European Youth Olympic Winter Festival (EYOWF), which is to be held from 12 to 19 February 2011 in Liberec in the Czech Republic. The Liberec will host what is an event of European importance and welcome Europe's best 1 300 young sportsmen and sportswomen from more than 45 countries, making it the largest youth sport event in the history of the Czech Republic.

The European Union places great emphasis on the role sport plays in education, culture, social inclusion and public health for European citizens (and has also supported European Youth Olympic Festivals in the past). In addition, Article 165 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides Europe with a legal basis to support Member States with regard to the social, educational and cultural aspects of sport. EYOWF Liberec 2011 is an excellent opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers and non-profit sports organisations in educating and bringing up European youth. Support from the EU budget will clearly demonstrate the role of the Union in this field and make it more visible.

EUR 6 000 000 is to be allocated to co-finance the organisation of the European Special Olympics Summer Games in Warsaw, Poland (18-24 September 2010) and to undertake the essential preparations for the World Special Olympics Summer Games in Athens, Greece (20 June-4 July 2011). This funding will also allow participating athletes from all 27 Member States to train and prepare for and attend the games in both Poland and Greece. A further allocation should be made in the financial year 2011.

The European Special Olympics Summer Games in Poland will enable over 1 800 people with intellectual disabilities to compete in 11 Olympic-type sports. The athletes will be supported by more than 600 coaches, 3 000 volunteers and 2 000 family members. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will conduct a public awareness campaign on intellectual disability, organise a summit for disabled and non-disabled people to become better informed and share their experiences, and organise a European university symposium which will bring together leading academics to discuss issues surrounding intellectual disability.

The World Special Olympics Summer Games in Greece will bring together over 7 500 people with intellectual disabilities from more than 180 countries. These athletes will be supported by 2 500 coaches, 3 000 officials, 25 000 volunteers and over 30 000 family members. Athletes will compete to the best of their abilities in 22 Olympic-type sports. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will host a global policy summit to discuss the challenges and opportunities for better social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. A family forum will also take place, enabling athletes’ family members to learn and share experiences about raising a person with an intellectual disability.

Remarks

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

The 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:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Debate Europe, the new step of the ‘Plan-D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate’, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | communication operations linked to other specific annual or multi-annual 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. |

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 EU information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years based on a report drawn up by the Commission.

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 40 000.

Remarks

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

|  |  |

The consumer programme consolidates and expands the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programmes.

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

The main objectives of the second public health programme are:

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

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

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

Since 2008, as far as the health area is concerned, the programme has been focusing on three pillars where action at European level is essential:

(1) Health information

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

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

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

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

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

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

With regard to the crucial importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the European 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.

To the appropriations entered in this article must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex ‘European Economic Area’ 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 EU/Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

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 smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union.

Remarks

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

Former Article 18 03 12

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 European Union. The action will be based on three related components.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, as regards structural measures, projects and measures concerning the reception of refugees, displaced persons and asylum applicants 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 permit displaced persons 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 unaccompanied minors and torture 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 European 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 (EU/Community 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 an EU/Community 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 EU 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 18/19 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.

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 EU legislation.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover earlier commitments.

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an information campaign on the new transparency measures based on Article 15 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 255 of the EC Treaty) and Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents ([OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2001:145:TOC)) and of the creation of an interinstitutional server giving online access to the EU law-making process.

It covers information to citizens about their rights of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents specifically relating to the interinstitutional law-making process. This measure is designed to inform citizens about the principles and conditions governing access to EU documents and at the same time to give them a single tool to facilitate their access to documents relating to an interinstitutional legislative procedure and to national implementing measures. In this context, this appropriation is also intended to cover the development of the TRANS-JAI project (system hosting and system environment support, development and preparation complete with maintenance). This project is to be transferred in 2010 to the Publications Office of the European Union and incorporated into the EUR-Lex system. That system is to be rationalised to provide more transparent public access to EU legislation in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Treaties, including the Treaty of Lisbon.

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

Remarks

As part of the rationalisation and simplification of the instruments for external actions for the period of the 2007 to 2013 Financial Framework, the financial and technical assistance to third countries in the areas of migration and asylum (‘Aeneas’ programme) — adopted on 10 March 2004 and following the preparatory action for 2001 to 2003 and the Commission Communication on integrating migration issues in the European Union’s relations with third countries (COM(2002) 703 final) — was replaced by a thematic cooperation programme with third countries in these fields under the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) (Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006).

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

This thematic programme must fully take into account new forced migrations due to 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 the 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 (NGOs) or other non-State actors, federal, national, provincial and local governments of third countries, their departments and agencies, institutes, associations and public and private operators.

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

Remarks

The general objective will be to contribute to the development and consolidation of democracy and respect for human rights, in accordance with European 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 EU Guidelines, including on human rights dialogues, on human rights defenders, on the death penalty, on torture, 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 clear up 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 end 2006 of Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 ([OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:138:TOC)).

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. 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 NGOs and human rights defenders working in North Caucasus.

Legal basis

Remarks

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

The following actions are envisaged:

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

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

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

Bodies responsible for providing immediate defence (ad-hoc assignments in countries where human rights are under threat, either acting alone or together with local lawyers in sensitive cases in criminal courts) could be beneficiaries.

The pilot project will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and US policymakers that are beyond the scope of the current tools available under existing legal instruments. In implementing this action the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies. It will also help engage a new US Administration to strengthen the Transatlantic partnership. Finally, it will provide an opportunity for presenting EU thinking to US academics.

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 EU approach to crisis.

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

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 EU’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 European Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving its Member States and the neighbouring partner countries [(159 160 319 320 321 322 323 324 327 330 333 345)](#ntr159_160_319_320_321_322_323_324_327_330_333_345-). To that effect the EU has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation.

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

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the EU’s external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the EU’s Strategic Partnership with Russia, 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, CBC programmes established on the EU’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the EU budget and be implemented according to a single set of rules, the one established under the ENPI Regulation. The global amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget Items presented under this article.

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensuring efficient and secure borders, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | 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 informing the general public and the potential beneficiaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Union assistance.

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 a sustainable development and economic integration, as well as to achieving the millennium development (MDGs) 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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 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. |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promote social cohesion, combat poverty and social exclusion, with particular attention being paid to the poverty trap faced by people with disabilities, |

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 EU sanitary and phytosanitary standards necessary for access to the EU market.

Where assistance is delivered via budget support, the Commission shall support efforts of partner countries to develop parliamentary oversight and audit capacities in line with Article 25(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006.

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

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

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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)) (Article 2(4)), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Latin American countries.

Legal basis

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

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) as well as the promotion of democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of law, and fostering a sustainable development and economic integration. In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients‚ by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm.

Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 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 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. |

Remarks

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 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) and which therefore fall outside the scope of Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Asian countries.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover actions in Iraq, Yemen and further to the Commission’s current analysis into the area, potentially, targeted actions concerning human and social development in Iran. With regard to Iraq, this appropriation is intended to cover Union operations in the framework of the Iraqi reconstruction process. Concerning Yemen, actions will be centred on promoting good governance and the fight against poverty (support to social sectors and the private sector).

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the 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 European Union.

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

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

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

Financial support is provided to actions in five priority areas: (1) working upstream on MDG7: promoting environmental sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of EU initiatives and helping developing countries to meet internationally agreed commitments; (3) improving expertise for integration and coherence; (4) strengthening environmental governance and EU 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 EU 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-EU) economies in transition.

Support for climate change adaptation in partner countries and regions includes a contribution to further strengthen the implementation of the EU’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 European 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 Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the 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 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 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 Community 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 EU and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. 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.

Remarks

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

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

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, |

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

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

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

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

Under that programme, the Community/EU 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, |

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

This appropriation is also intended to fund malaria vaccination programmes.

Community/EU 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 European 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 MDG fast-tracking and in accordance with the rules applied by the Commission for the countries benefiting from budget support, with particular reference to their ability to fulfil criteria of good governance and sound financial management.

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

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

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

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

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

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 European Union counterparts.

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Before July each year, the Commission will provide the European Parliament and the Council with an annual report on the EU’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 MDGs. Budget support will depend on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the report.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to improving social services and helping to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. |

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

Development cooperation will focus mainly on:

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

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

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

Remarks

Action A: coordination

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

Coordination measures are essential in defining and shaping European development policy at a strategic and programming level. The specific nature of European development policy is directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 208 and 210 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). Community/EU aid is complementary to the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development cooperation and complementarity cannot work without coordination. Article 210 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union requires the Commission to act as coordinator of national policies and coordinator of EU objectives with national objectives in the area of development cooperation and assistance.

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

This appropriation covers various forms of action:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Action B: raising awareness

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

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

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

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

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

Moreover, the appropriation will cover the financing of actions within the initiative ‘Mobilising European Research on Development Policies’. The main output of this initiative is the publication on an annual basis of a ‘European Report on Development’ (ERD). This process will enhance synergies between European research and policymaking by bringing them together in one common project. The ERD report, together with other intermediary products (background papers, seminars and workshops), will play a catalytic role in strengthening and refining the European vision on development and its influence in the international development agenda. This initiative is financed jointly by the Commission and by Member States through contributions on voluntary basis.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover administrative costs directly linked to the implementation of the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), in particular:

| --- | --- |
| — | 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 external staff at headquarters (contract agents, seconded national experts or agency staff) intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance offices; expenditure on external staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 800 000. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | expenditure on external staff in delegations (contract agents, local agents or seconded national experts) for the purposes of devolved programme management in the delegations of the European Union in non-member countries or for internalisation of tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as the additional logistical and infrastructure cost, such as the cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications and of renting directly caused by the presence in the delegation of the external staff remunerated from the appropriations in this item, |

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

This appropriation covers expenditure on administrative management under Articles 22 02 01, 22 02 02, 22 02 03, 22 02 04, 22 02 05 and 22 02 07, 22 02 08 and 22 04 02.

Remarks

After enlargement, the Commission remains responsible for ensuring that all legal and financial requirements are met, in particular with regard to sound and efficient financial management. In line with their Acts of Accession, all implementing agencies in the 12 new Member States that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 must operate under the extended decentralised implementation system (EDIS). In Bulgaria and Romania, EDIS was introduced in 2007.

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

Due to the large volume of funds still under implementation in Bulgaria and Romania sufficient capacities in headquarters are still required. Implementation in Bulgaria was highly problematic in 2008. This issue has created high political and public interest. This resulted in extra workload in terms of reporting, monitoring and missions, but also in a postponement of many transactions in 2009.

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

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

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

This appropriation covers expenditure on administrative management under Items 22 02 05 01, 22 02 05 04 and Article 22 03 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot Community. The assistance will focus particularly on the economic integration of the island and on improving contacts between the two communities and with the European 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, in particular in the areas of energy and transport, the environment, telecommunications and water supply, |

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | progressive alignment with, and preparation for, implementation of the acquis communautaire. |

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, |

Part of this appropriation is also intended to support the work of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) in Cyprus in accordance with the relevant European Parliament resolution on missing persons in Cyprus, which was adopted on 18 June 2008 ([OJ C 286 E, 27.11.2009, p. 13](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2009:286E:TOC)), in which Parliament supported the allocation of further financial support to the CMP as from 2009 onwards and EUR 2 000 000 specifically for 2009. This would follow on from the actions already undertaken by the Commission to grant EUR 1 500 000 to the CMP, covering the period until the end of 2008, in line with the European Parliament resolution on missing persons in Cyprus adopted on 15 March 2007 ([OJ C 301 E, 13.12.2007, p. 243](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2007:301E:TOC)).

As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is useful to note that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of remains of missing persons has been running since August 2006 and, to date, 398 sets of remains have been exhumed, 266 of which have been analysed at the CMP anthropological laboratory in an attempt to make presumptive identifications. The first positive identifications were made at the end of June 2007 and, to date, 91 remains of individuals exhumed under the CMP project have been identified through this process. Continued work and further results are necessary, and this can only be achieved if CMP capacity is increased and, to that end, the EU’s financial assistance is essential.

This appropriation is intended to further financially support and accelerate the work of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP), in addition to the EUR 3 500 000 granted from the EU budget to the CMP in 2008 and 2009 (EUR 1 500 000 and EUR 2 000 000 respectively) and in line with the relevant abovementioned European Parliament resolutions of 18 June 2008 on missing persons in Cyprus and of 15 March 2007 on the same subject.

As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is useful to note that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of remains of missing persons has been running since August 2006 and, to date, 539 sets of remains have been exhumed, 349 of which have been analysed at the CMP anthropological laboratory in an attempt to make presumptive identifications. The first positive identifications were made at the end of June 2007 and, to date, 172 sets of remains of individuals exhumed as part of the CMP project have been identified through this process and returned to their families. There are still 1 500 missing persons (Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and others) and, given that these persons have been considered missing for 35-45 years, there is an urgent need to speed up the work of the CMP, as the number of living relatives of the missing persons and the number of persons who could testify about secret mass graves, etc., is gradually decreasing.

Remarks

The 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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2008:027E:TOC)) 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 EU funding is available. The Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) broadly covers ‘reconstruction’ and ‘cooperation between communities’ but does not make specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

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](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2002:248:TOC)).

Remarks

The 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. 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 in joint projects and that support local education and development of restoration knowledge and skills of high cultural quality.

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

Experiences from the 2008-2009 pilot project should now serve to develop a wider approach for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas both in the Western Balkans, through the IPA programme, and in other areas.

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

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

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement timetable. 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 EU policies such as: an effective dialogue on enlargement and pre-accession between the European citizens and the Union’s institutions, taking into account each country’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the Union and that of candidate and potential candidate countries; informing journalists and other multipliers on the enlargement process; commissioning of studies and opinion polls; developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising of 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

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

Remarks

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

The bulk of this appropriation will be allocated to cover information and communication activities in a deconcentrated manner to 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

It does so for as long as 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 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:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | 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, |

| --- | --- |
| — | 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 DG 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 all efforts so that they 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

EUR 3 735 263 of the reserve may be released if the Commission:

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

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

Remarks

The amount entered corresponds to the appropriations for the Publications Office set out in detail in a specific annex to this part of the statement of expenditure for this section.

Part of the amount will be used to cover expenditure on staff and operating costs over a 6-month period for a team tasked with making available, on a consolidated basis, the TRANS-JAI, Prelex and Oeil information systems and the institutions’ document registers (see Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents ([OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2001:145:TOC))). This activity is to be incorporated into the EUR-Lex system run by the Publications Office, with the ultimate aim of placing online an electronic edition of the Official Journal covering EU preparatory legislative work.

On the basis of the Office’s cost-accounting forecasts, the cost of the services it will perform for each institution is estimated as follows:

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 ICT 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.

To the appropriations entered in this Item must be added the contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to Annex ‘European Economic Area’ 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 Community/EU programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

AUDIT

Overall objectives

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

Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection where circumstances so require. The annual amount of the Reserve is fixed at EUR 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices. This amount is exceptionally increased to EUR 479 218 000 for the year 2008 in current prices.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

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

For 2010 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,52 % (on the basis of 2008 figures).

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA countries take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an Annex to the EU budget. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2010 is estimated at about EUR 262 400 000 in commitment appropriations. The EFTA countries will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget headings concerning the contributions by the EFTA countries are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded as provisional.

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET (BY WAY OF INDICATION)

A. INTRODUCTION

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

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

At 31 December 2008, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 20 541 000 000; of that total EUR 6 494 000 000 was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 14 047 000 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate applicable at 31 December 2008).

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

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

1. Legal basis

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

Council Regulation (EC) No 1360/2008 of 2 December 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 ([OJ L 352, 31.12.2008, p. 11](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2008:352:TOC)).

Council Decision 2009/102/EC of 4 November 2008 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Hungary ([OJ L 37, 6.2.2009, p. 5](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:037:TOC)).

Council Decision 2009/290/EC of 20 January 2009 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia ([OJ L 79, 20.1.2009, p. 39](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:079:TOC)).

Council Decision 2009/459/EC of 6 May 2009 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Romania ([OJ L 150, 13.6.2009, p. 8](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:150:TOC)).

Council Regulation (EC) No 431/2009 of 18 May 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 ([OJ L 128, 27.5.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:128:TOC))

2. Description

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

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 years.

On 6 May 2009, the Council decided to provide a community medium-term financial assistance for Romania in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 5 000 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 5 years.

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

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 2009 the outstanding amount under this instrument was EUR 9 200 000 000.

II. EURATOM BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS

Please refer to Point VII.

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

1. Legal basis

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

2. Description

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

3. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

1. Legal basis

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

2. Description

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

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria additional macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 100 000 000 (BULGARIA IV). The loan was paid in two tranches.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

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 loan to Albania IV of EUR 9 000 000, for a maximum duration of 15 years, was fully disbursed in 2006.

3. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

1. Legal basis

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

2. Description

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

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

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

3. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

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

This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ([OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:190:TOC)).

3. Description

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 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.

The Council decided on 29 November 1999 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600 000 000 and covered a period of 3 years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible 6-month extension).

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

On 22 December 1999, on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided once again to grant the European Investment Bank the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under 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 7 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 6 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 6 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 ([OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:190:TOC)).

4. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

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

3. Description

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

On 14 May 1991 and 15 March 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of 2 years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

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

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 1997. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

The Council decided on 19 May 1998 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 150 000 000 for a period of 2 years beginning on 1 January 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

The Council decided on 14 December 1998 to amend Decision 97/256/EC in order to extend the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank to loans for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is EUR 100 000 000 for a period of 2 years beginning on 22 December 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 22 December 1999 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under 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 made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of 7 years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 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.

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

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

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following candidate countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under 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 6 months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ([OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:190:TOC)).

4. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

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

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 6 months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ([OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:190:TOC)).

4. Effect on the budget

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

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

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

Technical notes on Tables

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

All other amounts are converted at the rate applicable at 31 December 2009.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2009
’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2009 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2009
’: 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 2008, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.

Remarks

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

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