JOINT STATEMENTS OF THE THREE INSTITUTIONS AGREED WITHIN THE CONTEXT ON THE NEGOTIATIONS ON THE 2013 BUDGET

of 10 December 2012

The President of the European Parliament, the President of the Council of the European Union and the President of the European Commission declare that the three joint statements hereafter were agreed by the three institutions in the framework of the adoption of the 2013 Budget:

Joint statement on payment appropriations for 2013

Taking into account the ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts in Member States, the European Parliament and the Council, taking note of the level of payments proposed by the Commission for 2013, agree on a reduction of the level of payment appropriations for 2013 as compared to the Commission's Draft Budget. They ask the Commission to initiate any necessary action according to the Treaty and, in particular, to request additional payment appropriations in an amending budget if the appropriations entered in the 2013 budget prove insufficient to cover expenditure under Subheading 1a (Competitiveness for growth and employment), Subheading 1b (Cohesion for growth and employment), Heading 2 (Preservation and management of natural resources), Heading 3 (Citizenship, freedom, security and justice) and Heading 4 (EU as a global player).

Moreover, the European Parliament and the Council urge the Commission to present by mid-October 2013 at the latest updated figures concerning the state of play and estimates regarding payment appropriations under Subheading 1b (Cohesion for growth and employment) and rural development under Heading 2 (Preservation and Management of Natural Resources), and, if necessary, to present a draft amending budget. The Council and the European Parliament are aware that a draft amending budget may possibly be required as early as mid-2013. With a view to facilitate the decision on the level of payments appropriations in the context of the annual budgetary procedure, the three institutions agree to explore how to better match payment appropriations estimates under shared management with the corresponding needs.

The European Parliament and the Council will take position on any draft amending budget as quickly as possible in order to avoid any shortfall in payment appropriations. In addition, the Council and the European Parliament undertake to process swiftly any possible transfer of payment appropriations, including across financial framework headings, in order to make the best possible use of payment appropriations entered in the budget and align them to actual execution and needs.

In accordance with point 18 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, the European Parliament and the Council recall the need to ensure, in the light of implementation, an orderly progression of the total appropriations for payments in relation to the appropriations for commitments, so as to avoid any abnormal evolution of outstanding commitments (‘RAL’).

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission will actively monitor the state of implementation of the 2013 budget, throughout the year, focussing on payment implementation, reimbursement claims received and revised forecasts, on the basis of detailed information provided by the Commission.

In any event, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission recall their shared responsibility, as laid down in Article 323 TFEU, that ‘the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission shall ensure that the financial means are made available to allow the Union to fulfil its legal obligation in respect of third parties’.

Joint statement on payment needs for 2012

The European Parliament and the Council note that the level of payments, proposed by the Commission in its 2013 draft budget, was based on the assumption that payment needs in 2012 would have been addressed with appropriations available in the 2012 budget. However, the additional payment appropriations authorised in the Amending Budget No 6/2012 were lowered by EUR 2,9 billion with respect to the amount proposed by the Commission, and are not at the level of all payment claims received.

Therefore, the Commission undertakes to present at an early stage in the year 2013 a draft amending budget devoted to the sole purpose of covering the 2012 suspended claims as soon as the suspensions are lifted, and the other pending legal obligations without prejudice to the proper implementation of the 2013 budget.

To ensure sound and accurate EU budgeting, the Council and the European Parliament will take position on this draft amending budget as quickly as possible in order to cover any outstanding gap.

Joint statement on Heading 5 and the salary and pension adjustment

The European Parliament and the Council agree not to include at this stage the budgetary impact of the 2011 salary adjustment in the 2013 Budget. Without prejudice to Council's position in cases C-66/12, C-63/12, C-196/12 and C-453/12, they jointly request the Commission, should the Court rule in favour of the Commission and as soon as it does, to submit a draft amending budget devoted to finance, as needed, the impact of the 2011 adjustment for the institutions, including its retroactive effect on previous years and possible late interest.

The European Parliament and the Council thus commit to approve such draft amending budget as soon as possible and to provide the necessary additional appropriations without jeopardising political priorities.

The above statements are agreed subject to the European Parliament's approval, under Article 314(4)(a) TFEU, of the Council's position of 6 December 2012 on the 2013 Budget [(1)](#ntr1-L_2013066EN.01000301-E0001).

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 revenue and expenditure of the 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. Revenue and expenditure are 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 the 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 150 898 391 104 in commitment appropriations and EUR 132 836 987 855 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of +1,66 % and of –2,15 % respectively by comparison with the 2012 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 132 836 987 855. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Austria, Germany, the 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 0,7288 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 14,12 % of the financing of the budget for 2013. The VAT resource accounts for 11,31 % and the GNI resource for 73,40 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 548 967 007.

The own resources needed to finance the 2013 budget account for 0,98 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,23 % 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 2013 budget.

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the European Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ GNI for this financial year is 0,7288 %.

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

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget that must be presented by the Commission within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts.

Under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Member States are to send the Commission a statement of the total amount of the VAT resources base for the previous calendar year before 31 July.

Any corrections to the abovementioned statements resulting from Commission controls in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 or/and any changes to the GNI of previous financial years that have an effect on the capping of the ‘VAT’ base will lead to adjustments of the ‘VAT’ balances.

Remarks

Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark and Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, grant full exemption to these Member States from supporting the financial consequences of some specific policies in the area of freedom, security and justice, with the exception of the related administrative costs. They can therefore obtain an adjustment to the own resources paid for each year in which they do not participate.

Each Member State’s contribution to the adjustment mechanism is calculated by applying to the budget expenditure resulting from this operation or policy the scale of the aggregate gross national income and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003 of 15 July 2003 on the harmonisation of gross national income at market prices ([OJ L 181, 19.7.2003, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2003:181:TOC)).

The Commission works out each Member State’s balance and informs them in time for them to enter it in the account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 on the first working day of December, in accordance with Article 10a of that Regulation.

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n +2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2011 will be used for research in 2013. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2013 comes to EUR 51 732 500.

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

In accordance with Article 21 and Article 181(2) 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’.

Legal basis

Remarks

This item is intended to accommodate the temporary restructuring amounts in the Union sugar sector as set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006.

In accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, the amounts booked in this item were used to provide appropriations to Article 05 02 16 ‘Sugar Restructuring Fund’ of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to finance restructuring aid and other aid measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 320/2006.

This temporary fund for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community ended on 30 September 2012. Consequently, no expenditure under the temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry can occur and no new temporary restructuring amounts can be collected in 2013. The remaining balance of the Sugar Restructuring Fund should be assigned to the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006. All budget items relating to this Sugar Restructuring Fund have been merged with the corresponding items of the EAGF. Budget item 6 8 0 1 is temporarily kept for transparency reasons explaining the use of the remaining balance of the Sugar Restructuring Fund.

The remaining balance of the Sugar Restructuring Fund has been estimated at EUR 675 000 000.

When establishing the budget for 2013, this amount was taken into account for financing the needs of measures under Article 05 03 01.

Remarks

New article

This article is intended to record any excess emissions premium imposed by the Commission.

The objective of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is to set emission performance standards for new passenger cars registered in the Union, which forms part of the Union’s integrated approach to reducing CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles while ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market.

However, in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2 exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager.

Legal basis

Capital repayments and interest in respect of special loans and risk capital granted in the framework of financial cooperation with Mediterranean third countries

| Financial year 2013 | Financial year 2012 | Financial year 2011 |
| p.m. | p.m. | 0,— |

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 19 08 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time those countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

Remarks

Building on the 2009 Concept on Strengthening EU Mediation and Dialogue Capacities, the pilot project aims at analysing and examining options and related costs and benefits, to efficiently serve the needs of the Union in peace mediation.

Building on previous and ongoing efforts on the European Institute of Peace (EIP), taking into account existing studies, including those from the European Parliament, as well as existing business plans developed for this purpose, this cost-benefit analysis would consider questions such as possible institutional set-up, including cost structures, management systems and funding requirements.

The pilot project should, in particular, explore the possibilities of optimising the potential of, and ensuring synergies with, existing capacities within the EEAS, other EU institutions, the European Union Institute for Security Studies, the European Security and Defence College, the Member States and their national entities engaged in peace mediation, as well as other stakeholders.

The EIP’s objectives should be based on the Union’s fundamental values and objectives as defined by the Treaties.

Without prejudice to the results of the pilot project, the EIP’s tasks could include advice, research, training, mediation and informal diplomacy aiming at conflict prevention and the peaceful resolution of conflicts; lessons learned and best practices from the implementation and management of relevant Union missions; outreach to the wider academic, research and NGO community and public advocacy in these areas. The pilot project should in particular focus on how a possible independent Institute could both enhance EEAS and wider EU capacities in these fields and optimise existing resources in coordination with the relevant EU institutions.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n +2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2011 will be used for research in 2013. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2013 comes to EUR 51 732 500.

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

In accordance with Article 21 and Article 181(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

This item is intended to accommodate the temporary restructuring amounts in the Union sugar sector as set out in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006.

In accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation the amounts booked in this item were used to provide appropriations to Article 05 02 16 (Sugar Restructuring Fund) of the statement of expenditure in this section to finance restructuring aid and other aids fixed in Regulation (EC) No 320/2006. This temporary fund for the restructuring of the sugar industry in the Community ended on 30 September 2012. Consequently, no expenditure under the temporary scheme for the restructuring of the sugar industry can occur and no new temporary restructuring amounts can be collected in 2013. The remaining balance of the Sugar Restructuring Fund should be assigned to the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 320/2006. All budget items relating to this Sugar Restructuring Fund have been merged with the corresponding items of the EAGF.

The remaining balance of the Sugar Restructuring Fund has been estimated at EUR 675 000 000.

Remarks

Any delay by a Member State in making the entry in the account opened in the name of the Commission referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 gives rise to the payment of interest by the Member State concerned.

In the case of Member States whose currency is the euro, the interest rate shall be equal to the rate as published in the Official Journal of the European Union, C series, which the European Central Bank applied to its refinancing operations, on the first day of the month in which the due date fell, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

In the case of Member States whose currency is not the euro, the rate shall be equal to the rate applied on the first day of the month in question by the Central Banks for their main refinancing operations, increased by two percentage points, or, for the Member States for which the Central Bank rate is not available, the most equivalent rate applied on the first day of the month in question on the Member State’s money market, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

The interest rate applies to all entries of own resources enumerated under Article 10 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

Remarks

New article

This article is intended to record any excess emissions premiums imposed by the Commission.

The objective of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is to set emission performance standards for new passenger cars registered in the Union, which forms part of the Union’s integrated approach to reducing CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles while ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market.

However, in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2 exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles ([OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2009:140:TOC)), and in particular Article 9 thereof.

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 19 08 of the statement of expenditure in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time the countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in 6-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | these appropriations should be used, in particular, to carry out a feasibility study to assess the possibilities of boosting recycling of electric and electronic waste in the Balkan region. The study should cover the assessment of needs to develop environmentally friendly infrastructure which could also provide economic and social benefits to local economies. Such benefits can translate into profit for local communities, through the creation of jobs in a more sustainable way, and for industry with the recycling centre providing better access to raw materials both for the region and for the EU. The study would be a step forward in the process of strengthening regional cohesion and cooperation in the Balkan region. |

Further training and management training:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| — | expenditure on general training designed to improve the skills of the staff and the performance and efficiency of the Commission:   |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | fees for experts employed to identify training needs, design, develop and hold courses and evaluate and monitor results, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | fees for consultants in various fields, in particular organisational methods, management, strategy, quality assurance and personnel management, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | expenditure incurred in designing, holding and evaluating the training organised by the Commission in the form of courses, seminars and conferences (course instructors/speakers and their travel and subsistence expenses, and teaching materials), |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the cost of attending external training and of joining the relevant professional organisations, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | expenditure related to the practical aspects of organising such courses and the use of premises and transport and the cost of food and accommodation for the participants of residential courses, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | training expenditure related to publications and information, associated Internet sites and the purchase of teaching equipment, subscriptions and licences for distance teaching, books, press and multimedia products, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | financing teaching aids. | |

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from contributions from the EFTA States to the Union’s general costs under Article 82 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area gives rise to the provision of supplementary appropriations to be entered in the budget headings concerned in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The amount of such revenue is estimated at EUR 1 027 000.

Any revenue from the Swiss Confederation’s contribution for participation in Union programmes entered under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

The amount of assigned revenue based on data available in accordance with Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 6 106 200.

Part of this appropriation should be used for building a Union-wide methodology and robust measurement capacity per unit of production to fill in existing data gaps for sustainability indicators and to further develop evidence-based agricultural instruments that reward producers who deliver environmental public goods, notably by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, in view of the reform of the CAP towards 2020.

Part of this appropriation should cover investigation of every step from smart production, with metals and minerals savings, to substitution of potentially critical raw materials by less critical ones.

Another option is to investigate the reusability of parts containing scarce materials and whether they can be made more robust to allow them to be shifted from one product to another. The scarce resources and the functionalities they enable may not be the ‘weak point’ and may not wear, so an option could be to design the component with scarce materials in such a way that it lasts longer. The target will be quick-turnover appliances and then a proposal for an appropriate incentives scheme to stimulate reusability.

The possibility of the data encoded in the product delivering information about where the scarce resources are should be explored, together with the way to handle them in order to maximise recycling, as well as information about chemical contents of the product making differentiated treatment possible (for example, depollution is not needed if there are no hazards, thus ensuring cost optimisation for recyclers).

Exploring the technical and economical feasibility of such individual identification is a key challenge for the future. This would also be a serious move towards real IPR and creating the conditions for increased competition towards optimised end-of-life management.

Remarks

This exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macro-financial difficulties characterised by balance of payment deficits and/or serious budgetary imbalances.

It is directly linked to the implementation by the recipient countries of macro-financial stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. Union action generally complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

The Commission informs the budgetary authority twice a year of the macro-financial 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 macro-financial stabilisation of the country. The total financial allocation for the aid was decided at an international donors’ conference in 2008.

Remarks

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

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

According to Article 2(2) of Council Regulation No 407/2010 of 11 May 2010, the outstanding amount of loans and credit lines granted to Member States under this stabilisation mechanism shall be limited to the margin available under the Union’s own resources for payment appropriations.

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

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally.

Remarks

Part of this appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on Union/Community financial instruments implemented in the framework of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013) (CIP), and to facilitate the access of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to finance, including initiatives supporting resource efficiency and the green economy.

Part of this appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the following measures:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting the availability in Europe of mechanisms for securing access to credit for SMEs, such as credit guarantee consortia, and analysing credit market issues where necessary, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | supporting credit applications to financial institutions submitted by such consortia of SMEs, inter alia through the provision of secondary guarantees by the European Investment Fund (EIF), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | concluding agreements with financial institutions on subsidised loans to credit guarantee consortia. |

Poor access to appropriate forms of finance is frequently quoted as a main barrier to entrepreneurship and enterprise innovation. This problem may be exacerbated by new accounting standards which will make banks more sensitive to risk and lead to a rating culture. The CIP addresses persistent recognised market gaps leading to poor access to equity, venture capital and loans for SMEs through Union financial instruments operated on behalf of the Commission by the EIF, the Union’s specialised institution for providing venture capital and guarantee instruments for SMEs.

Independent evaluations of the predecessor programme ‘Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship’ identified the market-based approach and the implementation via the EIF of these instruments as a best practice. They are therefore continued and adapted in the CIP programme.

Union financial instruments facilitate access to finance by SMEs. The High Growth and Innovative SME Facility (GIF) shares risks and rewards with private equity investors providing important leverage for the supply of equity to innovative companies.

GIF targets innovative SMEs in their early stages and in the expansion phase, leveraging ‘follow-on’ capital to help them bring their products and services to the market. Particular attention is paid to SMEs active in the field of eco-innovation.

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

A Capacity Building Scheme (CBS) was intended to support the capacity of financial intermediaries to focus on additional investment and technology aspects. This instrument has, however, shown no response from the market. As a consequence, the budget initially reserved for CBS has been made available to the GIF to support mainly eco-innovation and technology transfer.

The contributions from the EFTA States [(1)](#ntr1-L_2013066EN.02000101-E0001) pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the Western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on Union financial instruments implemented in the framework of the Multiannual Programme for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, and in particular for SMEs (MAP) and for facilitating their access to finance. Even though the end of the commitment period has been reached, the facilities have to be operated for several years during which time payments will be needed for investments and in order to honour guarantee obligations. Therefore reporting and monitoring requirements will continue until the end of the facility periods.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this case, Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources ([OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2000:130:TOC)) shall apply.

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, |

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

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

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

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

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

As the ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ preparatory action, expires in 2011 and will be integrated in the new multiannual financial framework only as of 2014, its continuation needs financing for the years 2012 and 2013. The programme aims at fostering European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best practices as well as the creation of valuable networks and partnerships. Part of this appropriation should be used to ensure the smooth functioning and continuation of ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ through the CIP’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme until the new financial framework is put in place.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The proposed action aims at developing and testing innovation support services for European knowledge-based start-up companies which make use of the extended networks of European expatriates in science and business in the Silicon Valley. Young companies shall thus realise faster market access and growth overseas while creating high-value added jobs in Europe. This requires coordinated action of European innovation support providers. The action shall therefore ultimately explore the feasibility of a joint ‘European Innovation Centre’ in an innovation hot spot. This centre shall link official representations (chambers of commerce, consulates and industry representations), innovation support providers for European start-ups with European entrepreneurs and scientists that chose to live and work in the Silicon Valley for better coordinated support to potential high-growth companies.

Target groups

Central to this action is the development and piloting of novel services which facilitate fast growth and access to capital for young knowledge-based companies by combining the networks of European expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers in the Silicon Valley with the services of regional / national innovation support agencies in Europe.

One knowledge based young company from each Member State shall be invited to test the services, to establish own networks in the Silicon Valley ecosystem and to feed-back experience and advice on the future design of such services.

Innovation agencies in the Member States are invited to select the young companies and to accompany the project contributing their expertise in the support of young companies. Agencies with offices in the Silicon Valley shall be invited to contribute to the design and provision of services in particular the provision of office space for the European young companies.

Networks of expatriate entrepreneurs and researchers [(2)](#ntr2-L_2013066EN.02000101-E0002) shall be invited to contribute to the training and networking of European young companies and co-design innovation support services targeted at young knowledge-based companies.

Proposed activities

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | Two workshops or conferences (one in the United States, one in Europe) which bring together European innovation support providers with expatriate scientists or entrepreneurs to further develop an approach for a joint delivery of support to young companies with growth potential. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | An accompanying study evaluating the expectations and experience of knowledge-based young companies as well as of expat networks participating. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | The design and delivery of specific support services for a group of 27 knowledge-based young companies with growth potential from all Member States. These services shall include the organisation of sector specific networking and training events in the Silicon Valley. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | A final conference with stakeholders from the European Parliament, the Commission services, young companies benefiting from pilot action, representatives of the expatriates’ networks and innovation support agencies. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | Specific communication actions related to the action. |

A suitable platform for the proposed action is the ProInno Europe/Europe Innova initiative established by the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry to facilitate policy development and joint service provision of regional and national innovation agencies.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

In addition, part of this appropriation is intended to finance a Young Innovators Mobility (YIM) action. It is generally recognised that professional mobility is essential to the development of a versatile workforce, to a sense of European citizenship, and to reinforcing Europe’s competitiveness. Innovative ideas should not stop at national borders, they should grow through cross-fertilisation, testing and validation within the widest European pool of talent, facilities, infrastructure and financing. Just as European students benefit from the mobility experience of the Erasmus programme, young researchers from the Marie Curie actions, and young entrepreneurs from Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, young innovators too deserve the opportunity for cross-border mobility to the benefit of innovation in Europe. Existing mobility programmes do not match the scope covered by the YIM action, which focuses on the Innovation process of developing new early-stage ideas into demonstrators. For instance, this project differentiates itself from Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs which is mainly a business exchange programme focussed on the post-innovation stage, enabling new entrepreneurs to learn or improve their business-related skills. By combining the benefits of mobility, the need to narrow the innovation gap and the need to change the mindset to promote innovation, the proposal for a YIM action constitutes a concrete step towards the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs and the ‘Innovation Union’ as well as ‘Youth on the Move’ flagship initiatives in particular.

The YIM action aims to support a minimum of 100 young innovators. YIM would operate as a borderless mobility and innovation residency programme, enabling young (25 to 36 years old) and potential innovators (18 to 24 years old) to work on their own early-stage idea as a ‘young innovator in residence’ at a host organisation which could be a large or small company, start-up, laboratory, university, institute, government agency or NGO.

Remarks

Part of this appropriation may be used to promote environmentally sustainable tourism in the Danube river basin.

Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, which gives the Union new competencies in the tourism domain in order to complement Member States’ actions, and the Commission Communication of 30 June 2010 entitled ‘Europe, the world’s No 1 tourist destination — a new political framework for tourism in Europe’ (COM(2010) 352 final) a preparatory action has been launched to prepare the ground for future legislative initiatives to promote new European tourism routes based on European cultural heritage. These routes will take the form of theme-based cross-national tourism products which reflect a common European cultural heritage and local traditions. The Council of Europe and its ‘European Cultural Routes’ need to be supported as well as similar European (cultural routes) initiatives.

To this aim, it is required to better coordinate and cooperate with the Council of Europe in order to benefit from its long-standing experience and, thus, further developing and transforming the European Cultural Routes into comprehensive cross-national touristic packages.

The preparatory action has the following main objectives:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | raising awareness of the contribution of different cultures to a common European culture, through the understanding of Europe’s history on the basis of its tangible, intangible and natural heritage, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting the role of cultural tourism as a factor of sustainable economic development, European citizenship and intercultural dialog, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting sustainable and responsible tourism within the Union and neighbouring countries, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | reinforcing the image and profile of Europe as a high-quality destination among European and third-country citizens, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | strengthening the capacity of tourism operators and small enterprises in remote and less known destinations to reach out to new publics, facilitating the exchange of experiences and their networking and clustering efforts, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | stimulating competitiveness and innovation of the tourism industry in the Union. |

Remarks

Society is facing major change regarding industry and recreation. The advent of new family structures and emergence of single-person households, increased free time, increased life expectancy and population ageing in general, and increasing insecurity for young people, whether or not they are in employment, are all factors profoundly altering the tourism environment. Ensuring universal access to holidays means, at Union level, taking account of the specific features of European society.

The Union must therefore equip itself to realise that objective. One response is based on developing social tourism.

Social tourism is known, firstly, for what it seeks to do: allowing as many people as possible to go on holiday. Accordingly, it aids mobility. Social tourism also has another purpose, however, which, to date, has been inadequately evaluated: regional development — many tourism association facilities are located in the countryside or in highland areas — and local development. Social tourism is therefore the proof that there is indeed an intermediate sector between the ‘leisure market’ and the non-solvent economy. It proves that economic significance is not incompatible with accessibility for the greatest number.

Social desegregation must therefore be combined with local development. In promoting access for groups for which going on holiday has progressively been made a difficult or even impossible undertaking, social tourism strengthens the tourism industry’s earnings capacity. It enables off-season tourism to be developed, particularly in regions where tourism is highly seasonal. Accordingly, social tourism encourages the creation of longer-lasting jobs in the tourism sector by making it possible to extend them beyond the tourist season.

Implementing this project (named Calypso) is a genuine opportunity to promote partnerships, spurred on by the Commission, between the public and private sectors and the social economy. Through exchanges between European citizens and, in particular, the creation of synergies, this project makes a very great contribution towards establishing European citizenship. It should be pointed out in this connection that nearly 40 % of all trips for more than four nights are made abroad.

The sector is therefore important in terms both of the economic impact resulting from the number of jobs and of civic resources.

The beneficiaries of this measure could therefore be private firms operating in the tourism sector and carrying out the tasks described above, social tourism associations, works councils, transport firms, local and regional authority tourism associations and solidarity associations, but also commercial operators too.

The measures could involve:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | cataloguing and disseminating measures helping to bring about deseasonalisation as a result of the social policy function of tourism, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | devising arrangements enabling particular target groups (e.g. senior citizens, young people and families in difficult social circumstances) to go on holiday on the basis of accommodation offers by public authorities (national, regional or local), charitable organisations or any not-for-profit association. |

The Calypso 2011 programme objectives are based on the measures identified within the 2009 study (through a call for tender) following the discussions between the Commission, the Member States and the stakeholders during several Calypso meetings in 2010, which are to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | catalogue the main (most representative) good practices as a means to encourage tourism activity particularly during the off-peak season, thus generating employment opportunities when tourism demand is traditionally low, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identify the existing measures at European and national level allowing the exchanges of persons from the following target groups: senior citizens, young people, citizens with disabilities and families 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. |

Remarks

Under the Treaty of Lisbon, the Union was granted competence in the field of tourism for the first time. This preparatory action will seek to support cross-border thematic tourism products which reflect in particular common European cultural and industrial heritage and local traditions and will seek to draw on previous actions in this area and on the consolidated experience of other international partners and organisations, such as the Council of Europe, the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the European Travel Commission (ETC), etc.

In particular, to help encourage the European tourism sector to become more competitive, this preparatory action will promote the diversification of the supply of tourism products. There is excellent potential for growth in a number of transnational thematic tourism products and services as, for example, in cultural and industrial itineraries crossing several regions or Member States. Those European and transnational tourism products should also be promoted in third countries in close cooperation with the ETC, in order to enhance the image of Europe as a unique destination on long-haul markets.

The preparatory action will have the following main objectives:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | by funding cross-border tourism projects, to help improve the quality of tourism products and destinations as a whole across the Union; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to further develop cultural products and tourism as an integral part of a sustainable economy and to support regional economies; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to promote tourism in regions in reconversion, in order to boost employment and growth in these regions; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to establish a network of regional, national and Union-level stakeholders and decision-makers, in particular in the fields of cultural and industrial tourism; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to promote the value of cultural products and cultural tourism within Europe and to reinforce the image of Europe as the number one destination for tourists worldwide; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to support transnational cultural or industrial themes and products which help to foster a greater sense of European identity. |

Remarks

Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, tourism has been added to the competences given to the Union, which can coordinate and complement Member States’ actions in this field. In order to foster this new important task of the Union, a preparatory action, to be launched in 2012, aimed at preparing the ground for future initiatives in the field of tourism and accessibility has been proposed. Its main aim is to develop a better awareness of accessibility in tourism, with a special focus on the disability issue and special needs of certain categories of people. In fact, despite the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, signed by all Member States, a large number of disabled persons are still facing problems in accessing services in the tourism and transport field.

The preparatory action will have the following main objectives:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | raising public awareness, including through information campaigns, to the accessibility of tourism products and services, as well as improving dialogue and collaboration between organisations representing disabled persons, people with special needs in general and the tourism industry, in order to favour a more inclusive society and guarantee high quality free movement of people in Europe; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contributing to facilitating the development of specific training for staff on disability awareness, in particular in the field of fire prevention and safety of accommodation in general; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | developing skilled, trained and well-informed citizens and professionals on the concept of hospitality in relation to accessibility, including through close cooperation and synergies with universities and schools; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | incentivising and rewarding European destinations which make accessibility a key priority in their promotional offers; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | incentivising better use of innovation in order to improve accessibility in tourism services for all; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | incentivising adaptation of tourist products to the needs of persons with reduced mobility and people with special needs in general; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contributing to the creation of a favourable and accessible environment for disabled persons, persons with reduced mobility and people with special needs in all fields, notably in transport (mobility), accommodation, catering and tourism services in general; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | increasing campaigns and information actions with regard to the rights of persons with reduced mobility, and people with special needs when travelling abroad, in order to guarantee that customers have better information and better access; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | enhancing cross-border cooperation to develop accessible tourism within the industry in order to guarantee the exercise of rights for both European citizens and third-country visitors, in particular those with disabilities and special needs; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contributing to the development, in the long term, of common minimum accessibility standards, based on quality, for all fields related to tourism and addressed to all citizens, including disabled persons, persons with reduced mobility and people with special needs. |

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 small and medium-sized enterprises (with fewer than 250 employees), which generate 78 % of the industry’s turnover. Increased use of eco-technologies and eco-innovations in the building trade is, however, dependent on a combination of factors, such as additional cost, product availability, consumer demand and skill levels within firms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The building industry is a key partner in the Union’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase renewable energies’ share of overall consumption and is currently playing an active part in the development, use and promotion of eco-technologies (solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, etc.).

However, this process is being hampered by the difficulties experienced by small companies and tradesmen working in the sector in obtaining the insurance cover they require at a price they can afford, owing to wariness on the part of insurers caused by the innovative nature of these technologies and a lack of understanding of the risks they entail.

The market survey initiated in 2008 under the earlier ELIOS project confirmed the complexity of the insurance systems currently in place in the Member States and the lack of a common approach to the assessment of the risks involved in using these new technologies.

This pilot project therefore seeks to take this process further by, in tandem to the start made by the Union authorities on establishing consistency between the various insurance systems in place in the Union, as envisaged in the earlier survey, testing out a scheme facilitating access to insurance cover, based on the concept already used in connection with European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund loan guarantee instruments and mutual guarantee instruments for small and medium-sized enterprises. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that it is possible to insure small companies that use eco-technologies at no extra cost.

This test would take the process beyond the comparative study stage into an operational stage leading to the convergence of national systems and to greater allowance being made for the needs of small companies working with eco-technologies.

Remarks

The global economy is witnessing a qualitatively new form of international economic relations resulting in new opportunities for SMEs in an international environment. Some of the reasons for seeking new markets might be:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | local markets are smaller in scope, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | national markets stagnate at certain times, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | access to international markets in pursuing high-growth objectives. |

In the context of the Small Business Act providing for business support programmes and transnational research, SMEs should be involved in transnational projects to take advantage of the growth in markets outside the Union. The approach might lead to potential enhancing of the skills and innovative strategies giving a competitive edge to European SMEs. This preparatory action is aimed at testing the involvement of SMEs in such actions and providing the necessary information in order to develop a strategy at a later stage. The preparatory action will involve a detailed feasibility study to assess the market potential and appropriate business support measures for SMEs in key international markets. The study will examine the different options and tools available to better connect European SMEs to these markets, and propose country-specific measures to facilitate access to these markets by European SMEs in the future.

Remarks

The aim of this appropriation is to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | enable initial operations of GMES services, tailored to the needs of users, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contribute to ensuring availability of the observation infrastructure necessary to enable the GMES services, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | create opportunities for increased private sector usage of information sources, thereby facilitating innovation by value-adding service providers. |

In particular, development of Earth monitoring-based services plays a key role in enhancing competitiveness and innovation in industries in this sector and in the downstream markets. Sustainable provision of Earth monitoring-related services in Europe still requires consistent public intervention. This is not only because of market failures in answering diverse public needs but also because the downstream market is a non-mature market relying heavily on public funding and whose development has, until today, been significantly curbed by uncertainties about the affordability and long-term availability of the basic services and the data they build upon. Achievement of the specific objectives outlined above will therefore contribute to growth and job creation in an innovative sector, the downstream segment which is composed mainly of small and medium-sized enterprises. These services will facilitate access to key data required in policy formulation at Union, national, regional and local level in fields such as agriculture, forest monitoring, water management, transport, urban planning, climate change and many others. This appropriation also covers implementation of delegation agreements, including the operating costs incurred by entities to which the Commission delegates tasks for the GMES programme, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 and Article 54 of 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)).

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Rare earth elements have gained an increasing amount of political attention. These 17 elements are critical to European industry as they are essential in the production of high-tech, low-carbon goods such as electric vehicles and energy-efficient light bulbs. They are also indispensable in the defence sector (laser, night-vision goggles, radar equipment, etc.). With demand steadily growing, supply is struggling to keep up, particularly with regard to the heavy rare earths. This situation is worsened by the fact that rare earths are currently difficult to substitute or recycle. In this context, in order to help increase supply security of these much-coveted rare earths, substitution and recycling should become one of the focal points.

This pilot project aims to establish a European rare earth competency network that would bring all of the relevant European stakeholders (academia and research institutions, industry, policy-makers, think tanks, etc.) together to exchange best practice, increase understanding of the special properties of rare earths, undertake research and promote their recyclability and substitution. Bringing all of the different stakeholders together within such a network would also be particularly important as it could help disseminate new technologies and decrease the time to market.

The network would meet several times a year and would create a number of working packages under several working groups focusing on the different issues relating to rare earths (i.e. recycling, substitution, refining capacities, mining, etc.).

The network can be modelled on the ‘Concerted European Action on Magnets’ (CEAM), which was founded in 1985 and which pioneered Europe-wide cooperation, involving more than 80 industrial and academic groups pooling their expertise and knowledge, in order to further the understanding of rare earth iron permanent magnets. Many other countries are already investing in the next-generation of recycling technologies to recover rare earths. Japan, for example, has already put forth a USD 1 000 000 000 budget for a strategy in cooperation with industry on rare earths designed to increase supply security inter alia through ambitious recycling. The Japanese government has also put down a target of reducing rare earth imports by one-third in the upcoming years, and the Japanese National Institute for Materials Science, a government-affiliated research group, claims that used electronics in Japan hold an estimated 272 000 tonnes of rare earth elements. Importing roughly 30 000 tonnes a year, this would equal up to 10 years of Japan’s imports. As such, a European rare earth competency network would ensure that the Union takes this issue seriously and endeavours to increase its own understanding of these resources in order to increase particularly their recycling and substitution. This would ensure that the Union is not left behind in the technological race for mastering these important minerals.

Remarks

Former Article 15 04 51

‘Creative districts’ is an expression which seeks to merge the traditional meaning of ‘industrial district’ with the sense of ‘creative industries’ as defined in the Commission’s Green Paper of 27 April 2010 entitled ‘Unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries’: a local territorial area, characterised by an intense concentration of medium, small and micro-enterprises characterised by their particular specialised production and the close linkage with the resident population, where their outputs, although mainly functional, have a cultural or creative dimension.

‘Creative districts’ are industrial districts in which:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | products and connected services are deeply linked with the enhancement of creative potential of the involved human capital, via close linkage with products and connected services throughout the production process, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | products and connected services are characterised by their high added value, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | enterprises, civil society, educational system, and institutions have traditionally experienced and developed strong cohesion and interrelationship, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | both dimensions of aesthetics and working ethics meet in a continuous and dynamic dialectic, depending on economic needs of the social context to which they relate, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the established unique ‘know-how’ expresses itself in ‘crafts of beauty’ — i.e. related to wood products, ceramics, leather manufacturing, etc. — and its long life is based on tradition and the chance of becoming a heritage, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | cultural, craft and manufacturing traditions need to find new forms of transmission so as to preserve the cultural and material heritage of excellence and to ensure sustainable economic and social development. |

The project aims at realising a set of coordinated actions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | definition of common parameters valuable in showing a specific culture and the common features of creative districts’ products or services, through the research and the analysis of all experiences, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creation of a network of European creative districts, in order to define the exchange of information and best practices, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creation of a common brand to represent and communicate the originality of the creative districts and their ‘crafts of beauty’, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | development of innovative intervention plans focused on the protection of creative districts’ products and services against the risk of counterfeiting, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promotion of the partnership between creative districts in order to develop the exchange of young students and trainees within Member States to mix experiences and to value differences, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | enhancement of social cohesion and know-how communication between generations through innovative actions of exchange and sharing, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | strengthening of network building capability of creative districts, through the development of synergies between companies, institutions and social bodies of their working area. |

European creative districts represent one of the clearest examples of the excellence of European productive culture. The development of human capital’s creativity, high quality products and the strong interaction between all players involved — economic system, society and institutions — are their specific features.

New item

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of the functioning and activities of European non-governmental and non-profit organisations representing the interests of SMEs and consumers, as well as environmental and social interests, in standardisation activities.

Such representation in the standardisation process at European level forms part of the statutory objectives of such organisations, and they have been mandated by national non-profit organisations in at least two thirds of the Member States to represent those interests.

Contributions to such European organisations have previously been covered by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the consumer policy and the Financial Instrument for the environment, LIFE +. In the recent proposal for a regulation on European standardisation, the Commission proposed to bring together in a single legal act the actions in the field of standardisation financed by specific programmes.

Remarks

Former Article 07 03 71

The European polymer converting industry is a major European industry, comprising 50 000 companies, of which 85 % are SMEs, and 1 600 000 employees. Its production reached 45 000 000 tons in 2009 with Germany (23 %), Italy (16 %), France (12 %), Spain (8,5 %), the United Kingdom (8 %) and Poland (5,5 %) being the top European producers of finished plastic parts. Almost two thirds of the plastic scrap created (1 300 000 tons of plastics) is considered as ‘final’ waste and is either exported to the Far East (essentially China) or landfilled. Recycling 50 % of the current non-recycled plastic scrap would save around 650 000 tons of plastic materials each year. By increasing recycle rates, this preparatory action reaches the target of the Europe 2020 Strategy on resource efficiency. RECAP aims to be a preparatory action for the improvement of internal plastic scrap recycling. It will pave the way for the development of new technological solutions to recycle plastic production scrap and for the implementation and structuring of recycling channels based on sustainable solutions and technologies. The project will create competitiveness and employment, extending the lifetime of plastic materials, save crude oil, and make the plastics industry a more responsible industry. A roadmap will be established in order to specify the necessary steps to achieve a final sustainable solution: definition of R&D collaborative projects to overcome technological bottlenecks, organisation and structuring of recycling channels, transfer of best practices and technologies towards the community of the Union’s plastic converters, demonstration of recycling technologies through pilot equipment and the creation of companies to exploit the intellectual property rights generated. The results are meant to be duplicated in several Union regions presenting a high density of plastic converting activity.

RECAP’s first sub-objective will be to carry out a benchmark on internal scrap management in several major Union regions from the plastic converting industry in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Austria and Poland. Each of these regions presents the particularity to concentrate plastic converting activities in a reduced geographical perimeter.

From the analysis of the benchmark, RECAP’s second sub-objective will be to identify best practices and make recommendations for future actions that will be consolidated into a global methodology for internal scrap management. Several scenarios will be established. Each one will be split up into structuring (economical, financial and political organisation of recycling channels) and technological objectives (R&D bottlenecks to be overcome). RECAP’s third sub-objective will be to pre-implement a scenario in one of the regions studied within the project. Actions such as launching R&D projects to overcome the technological bottlenecks identified will be part of the pre-implementation phase.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices (Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), abuses of a dominant position (Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), aids granted by States (Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

The Commission’s decisions are subject to review by the Court of Justice of the European Union in accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

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

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

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

Pilot project — Enhancing mobility and integration of workers within the Union

Remarks

This appropriation is aimed at initiating a ‘Union mobility and integration scheme’ in order to assist migrant workers and thus foster the positive effects of labour mobility within the Union. Particular attention will be paid to facilitating the mobility of vulnerable sections of the population, as called for by the European Parliament in its resolution of 18 December 2008 on the European Job Mobility Action Plan (2007-2010) ([OJ C 45 E, 23.2.2010, p. 23](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2010:045E:TOC)). Such a scheme will help overcome the unfavourable conditions for mobile workers to integrate into the host country, including various social difficulties which they encounter, and help them, possibly, to return to their country of origin. Two lines of action will be tested to that end:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | initiating networks and partnerships of actors working across the main trajectories of intra-Union worker migration, and |

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

The scheme will thus support the Member States in developing integration and social inclusion policies in order to address the social difficulties and reap the overall economic and labour market benefits of mobility. The pilot phase of the scheme will also enable stakeholders to scale up their activity and prepare for possible future financing from the European Social Fund.

Remarks

This preparatory action is intended to provide young people with access to more employment opportunities and to encourage and facilitate their work placement throughout the Member States. With the support of EURES work matching, work placement services will be provided, granting access to employment opportunities throughout the Union. This action should be broadened to also facilitate the matching and placement of apprentices and trainees as a critical element in helping the transition of young people from school to work. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, will be encouraged to recruit more young people, including by financial support.

Target groups:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | young people up to 30 years of age, regardless of their qualifications and work experience as the scheme is not exclusively tailored for labour market entrants, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | all legally established businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, to assist with reducing the costs of international hiring that affect mostly smaller companies. |

Eligible jobs:

‘Your first EURES job’ will offer young people apprenticeships, a first work experience or specialised jobs. The scheme will not support situations of job substitution or precarious employment, or in any circumstances be contrary to national labour law.

To be eligible for funding, jobs have also to comply with the following criteria:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | be located in a EURES member country other than the country of origin of the young job seeker (transnational vacancies), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure a work placement for a minimum contractual period of six months. |

The following costs will be covered:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | costs generated by the recruitment process and a recruitment allowance allocated by the EURES member of the country of destination, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a financial incentive for the employer to cover the mobile worker’s integration costs (e.g. induction training, language course, administrative support) after the recruitment process has been concluded, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the job seeker’s travel and subsistence costs for the first interview and the costs of moving abroad. |

Remarks

Objective:

The objective of this preparatory action is to ensure the equal treatment and non-discrimination of posted workers on the host labour market by means of information centres in the Member States to provide information, advice and support, including legal support, to posted workers.

This preparatory action will link the up-coming Union initiative on the freedom of movement within the Union. This initiative is aimed at improving the enforceability of Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on freedom of movement for workers within the Union ([OJ L 141, 27.5.2011, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:141:TOC)). It will remove existing barriers to mobility of Union workers by enhancing the enforcement of rights conferred by Union law and providing information and legal support to migrants facing discrimination based on nationality. This preparatory action will continue the work done in the framework of the past pilot project ‘Working and living conditions of posted workers’ (Article 04 03 09).

Actions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a study to explore the modalities of organising a network of centres across the Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a stakeholder conference, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | launching 2-3 pilot measures to test the network of centres in selected Member States. |

The information centres, with the assistance of the Commission, should:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide immigrant groups with support and information with regard to labour and foreign national issues, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide legal services for immigrants who may be the object of exploitation and harassment, and who are entitled to present claims and formal complaints in accordance with current legislation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | combat discrimination and intolerance, which damage labour and social integration, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support those in an irregular situation by providing legal assistance with the objective of regularising workers and defending their fundamental rights, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | keep up-to-date and provide permanent legal information, in particular in relation to employment cases, in order to ensure the full recognition of the rights of posted and migrant workers, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provide legal support in the following cases: deportation orders, migrants in irregular situations, undocumented migrant workers, work and residence permit renewal, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | develop actions that tackle the fight against undeclared work and develop employer’s awareness of the issue of undeclared work, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | develop campaigns about labour market shortages and hiring in the country of origin, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | design informative campaigns and hold conferences, seminars, etc, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | foster cooperation and the exchange of information between employment and immigration services. |

The expected results of this preparatory action are: helping a smooth integration of posted workers in host labour markets while at the same time helping them to protect and enforce their right to equal treatment. In terms of improving the administrative environment, the preparatory action will foster cooperation between employment and immigration services at the level of the Commission and the Member States.

Remarks

Based on the European Parliament’s study on new forms of physical and psychosocial health risks at work (IP/A/EMPL/FWC/2006-205/C1-SC1) and its resolution on the Community strategy 2007-2012 on health and safety at work ([OJ C 41 E, 19.2.2009, p. 14](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2009:041E:TOC)), this pilot project should enhance the implementation of the recommendations and the exchange of best practice with the assistance of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (OSHA). An assessment should be made as to the appropriateness of a preparatory action with a view to putting in place a Union instrument to reach the objective of ensuring that 75 % of the population aged from 20 to 64 is in employment, as set out in the Europe 2020 Strategy, and of promoting the physical and psychological health of older workers. This pilot project should further investigate possible ways of improving the health and safety of older people at work and meet the need to further develop the work already done by OSHA as the ageing workforce will have a serious financial impact on workers, employers and taxpayers. In particular, the pilot project should:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promote a European work-force with a balance of youth and maturity which is regarded as being best able to respond to the rapidly changing circumstances associated with globalisation and to encourage throughout the Union human resource management with an effective long-term strategy that permits appropriate adjustments in careers and training by focussing on developing skills and attenuating the process of decline, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | encourage and support the activities of the Member States regarding the gender dimension, among which information on the impact of the menopause, and the needs of all workers independent of good working conditions, in particular as they relate to health and safety, flexible working arrangements and care services, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support, at Union level, the development and dissemination of data regarding typical problems of older workers, such the decline of physical capacity and fitness and of some psychophysical capabilities (e.g. perceptiveness, response rate, efficiency of the sense organs), the increased incidence rate of many diseases of older workers, for example cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal diseases and hormonal and metabolic disorders, as well as of the corresponding preventive and therapeutic actions, including corresponding training of the responsible human resource management, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | increase identification, exchange and sharing of good practices (e.g. case studies) on occupational safety and health of older workers, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | encourage the development of initiatives aimed at opening access to technical advice on the health risks facing older workers, for SMEs in particular, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure that existing legal requirements for the prevention of harm to workers are applied, where necessary specifically for older workers, among which the consideration of diversity in risk assessment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure the integration, or mainstreaming, of occupational safety and health into general employment policies in areas such as equality actions, retirement/pension options, human resources and training issues, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure the integration, or mainstreaming, of issues relating to the changing demographic structure of Europe’s workforce into labour inspection activities and other prevention activities, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | facilitate development in areas such as return-to-work and rehabilitation for older workers, including individualised training, for example after an occupational musculoskeletal disorder. |

Preparatory action — Activation measures targeting young people — implementing the ‘Youth on the Move’ initiative

Remarks

Youth unemployment is a major challenge in Europe. Around 5,5 million young people within the Union are currently unemployed, one in five persons under the age of 25 is out of a job and 15 % leave school without graduating. The decline in youth employment was more pronounced in 2011 and the youth unemployment rate continued to rise in 2012 reaching 45 % in some Member States. This has severe economic and social consequences for society, as well as for individuals. Studies show that people who are unemployed while young are more likely to fall into long-term unemployment later in life and they are more likely to end up in precarious work. It is consequently of the utmost importance that Member States help all young people to find a job or to pursue their education when unemployed, no matter their level of education. In this sense, the Europe 2020 Strategy sets clear targets for the Member States to reduce the share of early school leavers to 10 % and raise the employment rate to 75 % and addresses these problems by means of the flagship initiative ‘Youth on the Move’ calling upon Member States to provide a so-called ‘Youth Guarantee’ to ensure that all young people are in a job, in further education or that activation measures are taken within four months of leaving school. Youth Guarantee is an important element among the innovative approaches to transition from school to work as reiterated in the Commission communication of 20 December 2011 on Youth Opportunities Initiative (COM(2011) 933 final).

Against this backdrop, the objectives of the preparatory action are the following:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | target young people including those who are not in education, nor in apprenticeship, nor employed (so-called NEETs), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | explore how the Youth Guarantee would work in practice in the Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | aim at establishing innovative action as regards the transition from unemployment to employment of young people and at spreading this knowledge to all Member States, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure a job or further education or activation measures for young people within four months of unemployment. |

The project would therefore include the following measures:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | supporting investigation and collecting the experience of existing projects in Member States where a scheme comparable to the European Youth Guarantee is in force, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | based on the best practices collected, launching two or three pilot measures in Member States to establish a Youth Guarantee locally. This means that relevant stakeholders locally would be supported in providing counselling and help regarding the implementation of a Youth Guarantee, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | designing alternative programmes at local level for early school leavers to develop their skills and, in this context, putting a special focus on networking between relevant stakeholders (companies, schools, youth welfare services) as one important measure to improve the integration of young people into the labour market, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | making use of this experience with a view to the future Union funding schemes relevant to young people and labour market integration. |

Remarks

This preparatory action will build on the importance of social innovation and the emergence of social enterprises. Together these serve as drivers of change that operate on the basis of viable business models to further inclusive, socially fairer and environmentally sustainable growth. They also generate jobs through activities that meet social needs in the context of sustainable and inclusive development. The objective of this preparatory action is to identify, develop, promote and disseminate the good practice of national, regional or local governments and of financial intermediaries in assisting young or social entrepreneurs at times of high youth unemployment. As such, the preparatory action will contribute to realising the potential of young and social entrepreneurship, emphasised also in the Annual Growth Survey 2012 and in the Commission communication of 18 April 2012 entitled ‘Towards a job-rich recovery’ (COM(2012) 173 final). The goal is to improve the economic and social situation at local level, and this preparatory action will show ways in which support for young and social entrepreneurship can be most effectively incorporated into regional, urban and/or local development strategies. Special focus will be on the use that could be made, in the 2014-2020 period, of Union financial instruments, in particular the Structural Funds.

The main task will be to work together with potential finance providers (in particular managing authorities for structural fund programmes, notably those financed by the ESF), and financial intermediaries, including the EIB Group, in a limited number of pilot regions. This will help develop and establish feasible, suitable and reliable schemes or funds providing equity or mezzanine funding (including venture philanthropy). These can be used to support structures providing business development services and networking facilities, with the aim of stimulating and facilitating the green shoots of development and growth in social enterprises. Actions may include feasibility studies, mutual learning, dissemination of good practice, and targeted assistance to the national or regional authorities, where appropriate. Where relevant, such actions may build on the results of previous actions for capacity-building and mutual learning of regional authorities and financial intermediaries, such as the JESSICA Networking Platform [(3)](#ntr3-L_2013066EN.02000101-E0003). The results of these learning pilots will be beneficial for implementing the relevant Europe 2020 Strategy flagship initiatives [(4)](#ntr4-L_2013066EN.02000101-E0004), and will prepare the ground for effective use of the ESF and other Union funds after 2014.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to provide temporary and targeted support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation where these redundancies have a significant adverse impact on the regional or local economy. For applications submitted before 31 December 2011, it may also be used to provide support to workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.

The maximum amount of expenditure from the Fund shall be EUR 500 000 000 per year.

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006, is to provide additional temporary support for workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

The actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund. There must be no double funding from these instruments.

The rules for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the Fund are laid down in point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 and in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of a preparatory action for a third Union programme for the conservation and sustainable use of plant and animal genetic resources in agriculture. Previous programmes based on Council Regulation (EC) No 1476/94 and Council Regulation (EC) No 870/2004 were completed in 2010. First evaluations of projects suggest that there is need for further actions in order to enhance the conservation of genetic diversity and sustainable use of genetic resources within agriculture, contribute to quality products and local food chains; and to support cooperation and exchange of knowledge between researchers, farmers, breeders and networks of engaged citizens and NGOs, involving the end-users and raising consumer awareness in this field.

The preparatory action shall contribute to delivering the elements for a third Union genetic resources programme, specifically on the following questions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | how to improve communication between Member States and their authorities on best practices and harmonisation of efforts in conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | how to enhance networking between key stakeholders including farmers, researchers, gene banks, NGOs and end-users, and to enhance marketing opportunities in the context of quality schemes and short food chains; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | how to improve the exchange of knowledge and research in enhancing genetic diversity within agricultural systems; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | how to adapt breeding methods and legislation to the need for the conservation of genetic diversity and sustainable use of genetic resources; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | how to contribute to the successful implementation of rural development measures through actions in the field of genetic diversity in agriculture; |

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover technical assistance measures as provided for by Article 66(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, and in particular the European Network for Rural Development.

Part of this appropriation is intended to steadily expand the European Rural Solidarity Network, which has been in operation for two years now.

1. Aim: to create a European area of solidarity, prevention and research

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Phase 1: consolidating the current solidarity network. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Phase 2: expanding the network to offer other European countries the benefits of its expertise in taking preventive action to safeguard agricultural employment and maintain the economic vitality of rural areas. There is an urgent need to share and standardise the comprehensive support schemes already in use and to exchange views on exactly what being ‘in difficulty’ means, with a view to detecting people who are in this situation, using common criteria referred to as ‘alarm signals’. These prevention tools will help newly established support groups to address the problems faced in rural areas more effectively. |

2. Action to be taken: dissemination of prevention tools

The following tools need to be disseminated as widely as possible among European farmers:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ‘alarm signals’: the basic preventive self-assessment tool to be used by farmers to assess the difficulties they face. This tool will enable farmers to determine exactly how bad their situation is, so that they can seek the assistance of agencies able to help them out of their difficulties at the earliest possible stage, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ‘simplified management tool’: this financial self-assessment tool will enable farmers to assess the financial situation of their farms and to anticipate difficulties, determine how much scope they have for investment or diversification and keep to a pre-established recovery plan. Training in the use of the simplified management tool will be provided by the individual support groups at national level. The training will be targeted at people looking after and supporting farmers in difficulty. |

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to establish an exchange programme for young farmers, which would allow for cross-border exchanges of best practice in farm management, in particular in relation to the challenges facing European agriculture, in order to aid in the development of Europe’s rural areas.

This programme would provide an invaluable opportunity for young farmers to experience at first hand the diverse agricultural realities in the Union by spending time on farms based in a different Member State. This exchange of knowledge and experience among Europe’s young farmers would further equip them to meet the demands of European consumers, to contribute to food security and to address other challenges facing European agriculture such as the use of renewable energies, biodiversity loss and carbon storage.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to set up a pilot project for assessing the actual costs to farmers of complying with Union legislation in the fields of the environment, animal welfare and food safety which goes beyond the standards to which import products are subject. This legislation concerns inter alia the 18 regulations and directives underpinning the cross-compliance system, as well as the standards defined as Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) which is also part of the cross-compliance requirements.

It will be used to conduct a broad study assessing the compliance costs as described above in all Member States, which might differ between Member States and even between regions within Member States because of differing climatic, geological, production, economic and social features. The study should be conducted by a well established scientific institute or a consortium of such institutes.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the establishment of a pilot project to coordinate research on the use of homeopathy and phytotherapy in livestock farming, in line with the European Parliament resolution of 12 May 2011 on antibiotic resistance ([OJ C 377 E, 7.12.2012, p. 131](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2012:377E:TOC)) in which the European Parliament called for the use of antibiotics in livestock farming to be reduced and for alternative methods to be used. Such methods include the use of homeopathy and phytotherapy. The pilot project should involve collecting data on what research projects in the field of homeopathy and phytotherapy have already been set up by the various Member States’ universities and higher education institutions, and what findings they have made; the pilot project should also investigate whether, and in what framework, the universities involved cooperate.

Legal basis

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for collecting and processing information of all kinds needed for the analysis, definition, promotion, monitoring, evaluation and implementation of the Union’s common transport policy, for all transport modes (road, rail, air, sea and inland waterways) and for all transport sectors (transport safety, internal market of transport with its implementation rules, optimisation of transport network, passengers’ rights and protection in all transport modes as well as for all other sectors related to transport). The main endorsed actions and objectives are intended to support the Union’s common transport policy, including extension to third countries, technical assistance for all transport modes and sectors, specific training, definition of rules of transport safety, promotion of the common transport policy including establishment and implementation of trans-European network orientation endorsed by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union as well as strengthening passengers’ rights and protection in all transport modes and to improve the application and enforcement of existing Regulations on passenger rights, in particular through awareness-raising activities about the content of those Regulations, targeted at both the transport industry as well as the travelling public.

These activities should promote and support intermodal barrier-free mobility for persons with reduced mobility (PRMs).

In connection with Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights ([OJ L 46, 17.2.2004, p. 1](./../../../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.

The implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on rail passengers’ rights and obligations ([OJ L 315, 3.12.2007, p. 14](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:315:TOC)) requires specific implementation action due to legal reporting requirements of the Commission and due to the complex interaction of regional, national and international (COTIF) administrative structures involved in the implementation. As an important implementation support measure the Commission will conduct a two-year information campaign on passenger rights starting in 2010 and covering all Member States.

These actions and objectives could be supported at different levels (local, regional, national, European and international), for all transport modes and sectors and related to transport, as well as in technical, technological, regulatory, informative, environmental, climatic and political fields and for sustainable development.

Air transport has long been one of the sectors in which the consumer authorities receive most complaints in the Union. The increase in the number of commercial transactions performed electronically (using the Internet or a mobile telephone) has merely resulted in more breaches of Union consumer legislation.

One of the main complaints by Union consumers is that there are no effective means of redress at airports themselves, particularly when disputes arise as a result of failure on the part of airlines and other service providers to meet their obligations. The European consumer and air transport authorities therefore need to work together to secure an immediate improvement in passenger support and information facilities at airports and, at the same time, step up co-regulation in the sector.

Single European Sky

The full implementation of the Single European Sky (four basic Regulations (EC) No 549/2004, (EC) No 550/2004, (EC) No 551/2004 and (EC) No 552/2004, and more than 20 implementing rules) is a key priority to improve the performance of the air navigation services in terms of safety, cost efficiency of the air navigation service provision, reduction of air traffic flow delays and environmental performance, and hence of air transport in Europe.

The main actions consist of:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the implementation of the Union-wide performance scheme — Commission Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 imposing on air navigation service providers targets on safety, cost-efficiency, environment and capacity in accordance with the Commission Decision of 21.2.2011 (2011/121/EU) and re-assessment by the Commission of the national/FAB-level performance plans in 2012, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the defragmentation of European airspace through the establishment of functional airspace blocks until December 2012 as provided for in Article 9a of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the implementation of the network functions centralised at European level, including support to network crisis in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 677/2011, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the reinforcement of the capabilities of the oversight authorities as identified in the Report presented to Council and the Parliament on the state of implementation of the Single European Sky in November 2011, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | further consolidation of the legislation through the updating and adoption of the Single Sky regulatory roadmap which aims to plan the development of technical standards and Union specifications, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the adoption of a ‘total system approach’ integrating, for instance, airports, safety, and security dimensions and the deployment of new technologies resulting from the SESAR programme on research and development, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the development of a land transport security policy in conjunction with the preparation of the communication on transport security in 2011 and its subsequent application. |

The extension of the Single European Sky legislation to the South East States though the Multilateral Agreement on the Establishment of a European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) is an important step for the achievement of the neighbouring policy. This action is based on Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) 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 to small and medium-sized enterprises.

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 rules and measures required to improve the security of inland, air and sea transport, including extension to third countries, technical assistance and specific training.

The main objectives are to develop and apply security rules in the field of transport and in particular:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | measures to prevent malicious acts in the transport sector, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | approximation of legislation, technical standards and administrative monitoring practices relating to transport security, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | definition of common indicators, methods and security objectives for the transport sector and collection of the data necessary for such definition, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | monitoring of measures taken on transport security by the Member States, in all modes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | international coordination on transport security, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting research into transport security. |

This appropriation is also intended in particular to cover expenditure on the establishment and operation of a corps of inspectors to check compliance with the requirements of Union security legislation of airports, ports and port facilities in the Member States, including extension to third countries, and of ships flying the flag of a Member State. This expenditure includes the subsistence allowances and travel expenses of the Commission inspectors and the expenses of inspectors from the Member States, borne in accordance with the provisions laid down in that legislation. The costs of training inspectors, of preparatory meetings and of the supplies needed for inspections must, in particular, be added to that expenditure.

According to the Commission communication of 20 July 2010 entitled ‘Towards a European road safety area: policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020’, enforcement of road traffic rules should be strongly present in the new road safety policy orientations. Part of these appropriations will help to strengthen the lack of enforcement on road safety rules at Union level by establishing a network of national authorities in charge of road safety with the purpose of advising, disseminating and sharing good practices, strengthening education and improving the visibility of progress in road safety. That network will promote the participation at Union level of, among others, associations of road accident victims, national prosecutors and members of the police in charge of road safety, Member States national road safety observatories, experts, universities. The dynamics of that network should also contribute to the establishment of a European association of prosecutors for road safety. The full potential of a European enforcement strategy was not reached during the previous road safety programme, in particular with the lack of progress on the Commission’s proposal concerning cross-border enforcement. In accordance with Directive 2011/82/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 facilitating the cross-border exchange of information on road safety related to traffic offences ([OJ L 288, 5.11.2011, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:288:TOC)), the Commission ‘should consult the relevant stakeholders, such as road safety and law enforcement authorities or bodies, victims’ associations and other non-governmental organisations active in the field of road safety in the forthcoming review of that Directive.

Remarks

This preparatory action aims to connect existing local, regional, national and international traveller information systems as well as to offer the international public information and the possibility of purchasing tickets through a single, multilingual interface. This initiative should aim at:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creating a European transport information interface which would be easy to access and provide passengers with real-time data for any trip in Europe and for any transport mode; this interface could also provide some information on passenger rights and the environmental footprint of each trip (CO2 emissions, fuel consumption, etc.) so as to allow a comparison between transport modes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creating an online booking tool which would facilitate travelling through Europe, as well as a journey planner, a journey pricing tool, an availability requests management tool and a ticket integration tool, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | connecting international traveller information systems. |

The preparatory action should be based on Commission Regulation (EU) No 454/2011 of 5 May 2011 on the technical specification for interoperability relating to the subsystem ‘telematics applications for passenger services’ of the trans-European rail system ([OJ L 123, 12.5.2011, p. 11](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:123:TOC)). In a first stage, the preparatory action should apply only to a limited number of countries, to a limited number of languages and to a limited set of data. It should be based on different scenarios presenting different combination of modes. Particular attention should be paid to the reservation of assistance for persons with reduced mobility (PRMs).

Remarks

In September 2011, the Commission issued a staff working paper on a ‘sustainable waterborne transport toolbox’ describing possible measures to minimise the compliance costs for the industry in view of the proposed new sulphur limits on sulphur content of marine fuels. A focus area for the medium to long term is the implementation of clean ship technology and alternative fuels. LNG is seen as a promising solution to comply with this regulation and to respond to ship generated air pollution in general.

Despite its excellent safety record, LNG is perceived as a potential danger by the general public. Action is needed to gain a comprehensive overview and analysis of potential risks and dangers for LNG storage, bunkering and handling (ports and ships). This will also include a generic risk analysis of LNG, i.e. as regards chemical properties, plus the development, in close cooperation with all concerned stakeholders, of information and media material aimed at explaining the risks/advantages of LNG for shipping.

The aim is also to obtain an overview of market developments as regards the introduction of LNG-fuelled ships or ‘LNG ready’ ships, as well as LNG fuel provision infrastructure (on-shore or by bunker barges) in the EU.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), which is held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 170 to 172 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). This contribution takes the form of co-financing of projects of common interest identified in Decision No 661/2010/EU.

The aim is:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to help define projects of common interest, minimising unclear or contradictory provisions relating to declarations of common interest and the binding application of environmental legislation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to speed up the Member States’ implementation of TEN-T projects of common interest by focusing on existing infrastructure within TEN-T rail projects in the short term, in particular where the implementation of such projects has already started, in order to make the corridors more viable and efficient and without simply waiting for the long-term development of very large projects within these corridors, |

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to select examples of regional trans-border rail connections which have been dismantled or abandoned, with preference going to those which could interconnect with TEN-T. |

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

Special attention must be paid to cross-border rail projects that contribute to better connecting Europe.

The Commission should, in collaboration with the European Investment Bank, test the design of new financial instruments such as those based on a credit enhancement approach (portfolio first loss piece approach as for the RSFF in the research field) to stimulate the emergence of European project bonds market for the financing of strategic trans-European infrastructure. Like PPPs, project bonds do not offer an exclusive solution to Europe’s budgetary problems. In an environment where regulation and business strategies in the financial sector are rapidly changing, an early test of such instruments is needed to remain flexible and to adjust public policy instruments.

Remarks

Former Article 19 11 05

This preparatory action concerns a strategic environmental impact assessment of the development of the European Arctic. Its aim is to increase awareness of the Arctic and its changing political, economic and environmental landscape, and the impact of Union policies. Its aim is also to increase awareness of impact assessments and their importance as a tool and a channel for compiling information for use by decision- and policymakers and the related legal processes.

The strategic environmental impact assessment of the development of the European Arctic will be carried out as a networked undertaking, by leading Arctic communication and research centres and universities within and outside the Union creating a bridge that should facilitate information exchange between the Union institutions and the Arctic stakeholders and foster contacts between the Union and civil society. Furthermore, the work should facilitate dialogue within the Union, advance Agenda 21 as well as bring in Union perspectives and contributions, and should be closely linked with the assessment activities of the Arctic Council, as laid down at its ministerial meeting in May 2011.

Finally, this preparatory action is intended to advance the establishment of the EU Arctic Information Centre as expressed in the Commission’s Communication on the European Union and the Arctic region of 20 November 2008 (COM(2008) 763 final) and in the European Parliament’s resolution of 20 January 2011 on a sustainable EU policy for the High North ([OJ C 136 E, 11.5.2012, p. 71](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2012:136E:TOC)).

The Council expressed its support for expanded use of strategic impact assessments in its conclusions on Arctic issues of 8 December 2009.

Remarks

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance a pilot project to cover research, data collection, evaluation, field visits, and monitoring, consultations and networking for the development of prevention activities in order to halt desertification in Europe.

A number of Member States have taken measures individually in this respect; therefore, numerous examples both of good and of bad practice exist, alongside interdisciplinary studies and suggestions, based on but not limited to assessing damage caused by modern intensive agricultural practices and climate change-related issues.

According to reports from the secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Malta, Latvia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey and Belarus, as well as other countries and regions in the Union and across Europe, are facing this major environmental and economic problem, and ‘business as usual’ scenarios show that agricultural productivity is expected to drop even further in the next few years, thus threatening the security of food supply.

Moreover, desertification results not only in agricultural losses, but also in loss of biodiversity, reduction in soil fertility and reduction in the capacity of soil to retain water, increased erosion and reduced carbon capture. Furthermore, floods and droughts linked to climate change are becoming more frequent and more drastic in their effects, increasing to an even greater extent the risk and negative economic and social consequences of desertification (see paragraph 17 of the European Parliament resolution of 9 October 2008 on addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union ([OJ C 9 E, 15.1.2010, p. 33](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2010:009E:TOC)).

The pilot project will involve:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | best practice exchange, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | demonstration of innovative approaches, know-how, new technologies, new methods and instruments, e.g. for water conservation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | development of a monitoring scheme for the evaluation of information gathered and development of a platform for exchange of data with and between Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan and European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries which would be open for consultation by other stakeholders, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | awareness-raising campaigns with and between Member States, candidate countries, and western Balkan and ENP countries, as well as other stakeholders facing this environmental and economic problem, with the aim of helping to maintain vegetation cover and surface and underground moisture levels, thus decreasing aridity and halting desertification, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | development of concrete pilot projects at local level to support innovative local measures on the conservation of rainwater and surface water. |

The pilot project could be improved in the future by addressing the issue of desertification on a Europe-wide basis in bilateral or multilateral agreements.

Remarks

The main aim of this project is to investigate the detailed weather-related and spatial structure of the Carpathians and the Carpathian basin with integrated or at least comparable methods. The basic results will be a contribution to regional climate variability and change studies, and applied climatology. The climate of the region has not been described as a geographical unit for about 90 years.

National meteorological measurement networks have different instruments and often different regulations. Accurate climate field modelling needs larger areas, but smaller countries cannot be used as a model for reproducing the climate of neighbouring regions. Such factors make comparison between national maps impossible. Additionally, some countries have national climate atlases already, while others do not. The project will collect information on the measurements and on the existing databases. The next step is the development of climate maps by exchanging data and information. In parallel with that, data quality and standardisation methods will be compared. It is suggested that a mapping method be used for which there is no need for large amounts of data to be exchanged between countries. The scale of the project will be enlarged to include the south-eastern Europe region at the next stage in collaboration with the parallel south-eastern Europe climate mapping project, the precursor of which was the ‘Summer School on Preparation of Climate Atlas’ organised by the Hungarian Meteorological Service (http://www.met.hu/pages/seminars/seeera/index.htm) in 2007.

The climate of the Carpathians and the Carpathian basin is a source of 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 this project is to create the most effective method of controlling the spread of ragweed, as well as preventing and treating pollen allergies based on international scientific research, data collection and evaluation.

The objectives of the project are for the countries involved:

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to develop the most effective method for controlling the spread of ragweed, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to conduct studies on the impact of pollen contamination on society and public health, with special regard to children under the age of 10, a population group which is seriously affected by allergies, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to assess the costs and damages incurred in connection with the treatment of patients suffering from ragweed-related allergies and their complications (medicines, sick leave, loss of earnings, etc.), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to create allergy prevention and treatment methods in order to reduce allergic diseases and their complications, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to develop an effective prevention mechanism for ensuring that contamination does not spread to Member States which are not yet affected. |

Due to the allergenic properties of its pollen, the spread of common ragweed is of particular public concern in several European countries. The most contaminated areas in Europe are in France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. As the cross-border spread of ragweed pollen is widely acknowledged, eradication programmes limited to particular countries will not succeed and pan-European action is needed.

Project starting date: 1 January 2010.

Remarks

The purpose of this pilot project is to carry out a literature review on the potential effects of climate change on drinking water protection areas across the Union and the identification of priorities among different types of drinking water supplies

Budget:EUR 500 000.

Project starting date: 1 January 2011.

Project end date: 31 December 2011.

Aim of the project

Given climate change processes, long-term security of public drinking water supply can be achieved through the utilisation of vulnerable water reserves (e.g. bank-filtered water protection areas or other types of drinking water protection areas).

A literature review on the potential effects of climate change on drinking water protection areas across the Union will be a first step in a further analysis, alongside results from other projects, to identify with greater certainty prospective strategic drinking water reserves for the future.

Short description of the project

Within the scope of the project, a literature review will be carried out on operating and natural recharge mechanisms, under extreme climate conditions, for water resources for public drinking water supply (ground waters, surface waters, karstic waters, bank-filtered waters) across the Union. The review of the effects of climate change on different types of drinking water protection areas will involve identifying priority topics and areas. The outcomes of the literature review will be compared with the results of other projects, such as the ‘Preparatory action on climate in the Carpathian region’ dealing with the effects of climate change on that area. The project will focus, inter alia, on assessing the vulnerability of sources of, and facilities for, drinking water supply and sanitation to climate change impacts.

The ultimate aim is to ensure the long-term preservation of vulnerable water protection areas so as to secure a safe public water supply regardless of the impact of climate change scenarios.

Without an analysis of the impacts of climate change, efforts to ensure security of supply would not have a proper basis and may even prove inadequate for keeping drinking water protection areas secure. In extreme cases, this may result in an inadequate supply of drinking water.

As the supply of safe water is one of the world’s major challenges, Europe will gain a competitive advantage if measures are planned before the impact of unfavourable processes is felt.

Countries concerned

All the countries whose water supply comes from vulnerable water protection areas (ground waters, surface waters, bank filtration, karstic systems), particularly those lying along large rivers and in upland areas. The countries most affected are:

Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Poland, Italy, Austria and Germany.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance a scheme, encouraged by the Council, to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services in Union’s overseas countries and territories, drawing on the experience gained with Union nature conservation programmes such as Natura 2000, from which most outermost regions and overseas countries and territories are excluded.

The BEST scheme steps up the financial means to protect biodiversity and promote the sustainable use of ecosystem services in Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories, with a view to reconciling the environmental and development needs of these specific areas.

Found in every ocean, from polar to tropical latitudes, the Union Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories are home to a unique diversity of species and ecosystems of global significance, which are highly vulnerable to human impacts, invasive species and increasingly the impacts of climate change.

The voluntary scheme aims therefore to develop solutions that maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems and reduce the pressures on biodiversity. The financing supports the designation and management of protected areas and the restoration of degraded ecosystems, promoting natural solutions to fight climate change, including the restoration of mangroves and the protection of coral reefs. The program also has to promote research in these areas, in particular by financing international research and educative programs. The scheme encourages the development of frameworks and the creation of partnerships between local administrations, civil society, researchers, universities, land-owners and the private sector. It serves to reinforce cooperation on environment and climate change issues.

It is necessary to extend the preparatory action for one more year to enable the European Commission to propose a more sustainable instrument dedicated to the protection of biodiversity in the Union overseas entities.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a pilot project assessing the effectiveness of the plastic recycling cycle at Union level and its potential loopholes, with a specific emphasis on water and marine environmental impacts. In-depth local or regional assessments, as well as studies focusing on coastal areas, could also be developed under this pilot project in order to identify concrete challenges, good practices and recommendations for action.

The assessment and study carried out under this pilot project would therefore aim at identifying technical loopholes and deficiencies in the plastic recycling chain in the Union, as well as potential legislative improvement in order to reduce the amount of land-based plastic reaching the marine environment.

Project end date: 31 December 2013.

Objectives of the project

The Carpathian basin is a unique geographic, climatic, ecological and economic region of Europe which spreads across eight countries of which five are Member States. The main water source of the region is the atmospheric precipitation — the other being the water import delivered by the Danube River. To retain, secure, regulate and use precipitation within the basin is highly influenced by land use patterns. Soil is a major factor of water storage with an ability to influence amount, dynamics, distribution, availability and quality of water. The aim of the project is to provide reliable scientific bases, plausible means of methodology for implementation, protection and efficient use of fresh water derived from atmospheric precipitation in the Carpathian basin.

Short description of the project and its key tasks

An inventory and analysing review of research results related to the fields listed above. The use of precipitation by means of appropriate and advanced land use patterns. The improvement of water storage and influencing amount, dynamics, distribution, availability and quality of water. The elaboration of patterns of protection and efficient use of fresh water in the Carpathian basin. A review of scientific results and implementation techniques in the field of sustainability, sustainable ecosystems, and also in relation to nature conservation and environmental protection. A review of climate change impacts on different water resources, reserves, surface and subsurface water bodies, their utility, vulnerability and future prospects; establishment of on site case studies in favour of testing various water retaining land use patterns under different ecological conditions representing various soil-climatic types and different cropping and management systems. Making recommendations for further use. Creating a compendium of adaptation actions in the Carpathian basin and across Europe. The proposed project does not only focus on the Carpathian region: the geographical focus of the project covers additional geographical areas within the Union, upstream and downstream regions of the Danube River, for which the implementation of natural water retention measures can be applied, in relation to climate change and socio-economic scenarios.

Countries involved

Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria.

Expected results

Short-term results: compilation and dissemination of research results in the field of atmospheric precipitation protection and use efficiency. Direct access to data, information and evaluations (common database).

Long-term results: elaborating a methodology on the assessment and management of atmospheric precipitation in relation to water availability. Contributing to decision makers in the field of fresh water use and management at local, regional and European level. Supporting of European policies, especially Environment for Europe (EfE) and Assessment of Assessments (AoA) tasks, with regard to environmental, social, health, economic and rural development issues.

Remarks

The river district authorities submit that the River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) were operational by 2012 and they will deliver their results by 2015 or at a later stage. A comparison of the major RBMP pressures and measures is necessary for the European Parliament to understand the different approaches and their relation with other policy areas.

The project will aim at scrutinising the RBMPs of the major districts in the Union. The project will use the same software to compare the pressures (load of pollutants, flows) and in the end the measures listed by the district authorities in order to restore good status. The expected outcome is a pan-European view on the pressures and concerns supported by a comparable geographical analysis, land occupations patterns, and economical perspectives. Specific areas of concern will be: source water protection measures, rural, urban and industrial pressures

Involved countries: Danube and Rhine riparian countries, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and Poland.

Outcome of the project: Homogenous perspective on pressures and solution throughout the Union on water management.

Remarks

There is a call to minimise the energy consumption of housing, resulting in the design of ‘carbon-neutral’ housing, rooting in better isolation and in energy consumption increase, inter alia by heat recovery. Close to 50 % of household water is heated for domestic purposes (cleaning, hygiene etc.), and this long-term tendency will impact water supply both quantitatively and qualitatively, and waste water services also in terms of quantity, quality and heat content.

Countries involved

Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and France.

Outcome of the project

The proposed amount would be used for several demonstration sites, which would provide a concrete example of the mid-term impact of current energy saving policies on the urban water cycle.

Remarks

This pilot project aims at assisting Member States in reaching the target laid down in Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) ([OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2008:164:TOC)) of achieving good environmental status (‘GES’) for Union coastal and inland waters by 2020 through environmental action using an innovative collection and recovery system. The project will engage the Union’s fishing community along with Union’s plastics producers, converters and recyclers in cleaning up floating marine litter on Union coastal and inland waters. Fishermen shall be funded through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) to go on special trips to collect floating marine debris in their coastal regions. The project shall use an innovative trawl system which is capable of collecting between 2 and 8 tonnes of floating marine debris per trawl. This trawl system has been developed in cooperation with fishermen so as not to detrimentally affect marine life or collect anything but floating marine debris. Fishermen shall use this trawl in coastal waters whilst static trawls may be used on inland waters. Following the recovery of marine litter, recyclers shall then assess its recycling potential. Where the waste is not fit for recycling energy recovery shall be the solution. However the aim is to make a high percentage of recovered waste suitable for recycling. The project shall conduct tests for a period of two years (July 2012 to July 2014) in several Member States (to be defined following Member States initial assessment(s) — July 2012 under Directive 2008/56/EC). During this period, the project shall monitor the volumes, geographic location and consistency of marine litter collected by means of an online monitoring system, through which Member States may study problem areas and progress made on collection, recycling and the cleaning of coastal and inland waters. A benchmarking system will be set up to assist in better defining GES. The tests will take into account the initial assessment Member States must produce by July 2012 and the benchmarking system will be consistent with indicators that Member States will have defined (under Directive 2008/56/EC).

The intention is that following the pilot tests, Member States shall be able to take over the running of the trawls and recovery systems whilst continuing to record data on volumes, location, etc. of marine litter and recycling. By doing this Member States shall be provided with a valuable tool (depending on the outcome of the project, i.e. the quantities of marine litter recovered) which will contribute and anticipate on reaching the legal obligations set out in Directive 2008/56/EC, namely achieving GES for Union coastal and inland waters. Furthermore, following the expiry of the project and the potential taking over of these actions by regions, Member States shall be provided with a tool for maintaining this GES for Union waters. Through these environmental actions and the synergies created between the fishing community (EFF), industry and national authorities, marine litter may not only be tackled sufficiently to contribute towards GES, but also the marine litter may be avoided and the sustainability of Union waters and a healthy marine environment may be achieved.

If at the end of the tests the quantity of marine debris found in Union coastal waters is low or even negligible, this project will have demonstrated the success of Member States in reaching GES for coastal and inland waters. In this case it will make sense for Member States to continue to use primarily inland static trawls (which are placed on river weirs and other locations where they will not impede marine traffic) in order to avoid marine litter reaching coastal waters and becoming an even greater problem to the marine environment and potentially, to human health through the ingestion of micro plastics by marine organisms and their potential to enter the human food chain.

Remarks

This pilot project will take one year and is aimed at investigating the availability and use of cooling water for the production of nuclear and fossil energy. Energy produced from fossil and nuclear sources requires large quantities of cooling water. During the heat wave of 2003, several energy-generating plants across Europe were forced to halt energy production due to the lack of cooling water. The shutdown of nuclear power plants, e.g. in France, Germany and Spain did not affect domestic production, but caused energy exports to drop considerably. With climate change exacerbating weather conditions, water resources will very likely decrease further, thus making this resource even scarcer. It is necessary to conduct a study on the current need for cooling water for nuclear and fossil energy production while taking the location of existing and future power plants (and their proximity to water sources) into consideration. The project will build on finalised and current assessments (such as ClimWatAdapt) to provide a detailed picture of the vulnerability of the energy/water system, including an inventory of power plants and its vulnerability to floods, droughts, heatwaves, etc.

Involved countries

All Member States.

Outcome of the project

Guidelines for the location of future power plants, identification and quantification of the investments needed to decrease the vulnerability of existing power plants.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure linked to the implementation of a pilot project for new knowledge for an integrated management of human activity in the sea. The purpose of this pilot project is to develop a new monitoring concept and new decision making tools for the integrated assessment of the ecosystem of the seas. This would entail the further development and the testing of measuring systems with the aim of creating a single European standard. The aim is to support the development of integrated monitoring strategies, based on existing sampling across various disciplines, scope potential for joint programmes and use of existing platforms for multiple purposes. The pilot project would demonstrate a practical way in which current effort could be redeployed to more efficiently use existing resources and thus facilitate improved management of human activities. Developing integrated monitoring tools at this scale would serve to meet the objectives of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) ([OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2008:164:TOC)) and to potentially reduce Member States monitoring costs (e.g. multi-use of existing monitoring platforms) i.e. resource efficiency. However, the pilot project could help test strategic approaches to the integrated monitoring of human activities and their effects on the environment and thereby support upcoming requirements of Member States to develop monitoring programmes by 2014 under Directive 2008/56/EC.

Remarks

Due to the loss of species-rich grassland for flora and fauna in Europe and north-western Germany, nature conservation efforts should focus on stopping the decrease, preserving those valuable grassland habitats and transforming species-poor grassland into species-rich grassland.

In contrast with activity-based standards for classical agricultural and environmental programmes, results-oriented programmes should reward actual achievements (achievements and price) through tenders in order to secure more effective protection of habitats and species.

Remarks

This pilot project seeks to investigate and promote improved techniques of resource efficiency on farms through the recycling of raw materials, processing animal manure into renewable energy and fine-tuning the fertilisation of plants and crops. The funding will be used to instigate on-farm projects in different Member States that will look at new and innovative ways of managing resources more efficiently and close the mineral cycles on farm. Sharing knowledge and best practices among the farming community is a central element in this approach. The main findings of these projects will be shared within all Member States and used for Union’s policy making purposes with regard to goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Examples of the projects that will be undertaken are: the increased use and production of renewable energies on farm, recycling of animal and crop waste, better water and soil management, more targeted use of fertilisers on arable crops and grassland, and uptake of new technologies in livestock production.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover work needed to underpin the Union’s developing policy on the mainstreaming of climate action into other policies and programmes and adaptation to climate change, as basis for impact assessment and the preparation of future policy decisions.

Climate action is put forward as one of the central pillars of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Achieving the Union climate goals means reducing emissions significantly more quickly in the next decades than in the last decade.

In addition, the move to a low carbon, resource efficient and climate resilient economy will require harnessing the contribution of many Union policies (in particular cohesion, agricultural, rural development, research and innovation, transport and energy programmes, external action, etc.) to climate action, in particular through mainstreaming and adaptation measures.

The preparatory action should therefore cover conferences, studies and preparatory work aimed at:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying the structural and technological changes required to move to a low carbon, resource efficient and climate resilient economy by 2050 through a pathway and the intermediate milestones in 2030, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying actions, strategies and legal instruments to be undertaken at Union, national, regional and local levels to mitigate climate change and adapt to its impact (for instance through funding improvements in infrastructure and production methods in vulnerable sectors) and meet the 20/20/20 climate objectives set by the Union in the Europe 2020 Strategy, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | developing innovative support mechanisms to develop low carbon and adaptation policies and strategies, including possible new financial instruments to fully exploit the potential of new technologies, to reduce losses caused by climate-change-related events, such as severe drought and flooding and extreme climate events, as well as to develop the Union’s capacity for disaster prevention and response, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | supporting the development of ‘climate proofing’ tools, risk-based assessments of programmes and measures to enhance adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change support and ‘climate tracking’ methodologies to monitor climate-related expenditure under the mainstreaming objective in the next multiannual financial framework ‘to increase the proportion of climate mainstreaming to at least 20 % of the future general budget’, with contributions from different policies, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | cooperation with relevant international organisations, their institutions and bodies, which shall be possible where needed for the purpose of achieving the climate action objectives. |

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 (2007-2013) ([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 (2007-2013) ([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 strategy on research, technological development and demonstration (RTD).

Revenue resulting from cooperation agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community and Switzerland or the multilateral European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 2 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or institutes from third countries taking part in European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 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 give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contribution by outside bodies to Union activities will be entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 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, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, diabetes and other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), or rare diseases.

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

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

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. In this way new and emerging research opportunities can be exploited that address social and economic challenges, such as the growing demand for environmentally and animal friendly systems of production and distribution of safer, healthier and higher quality food in line with consumer requirements and control of food-related risks, relying in particular on biotechnology tools, as well as health risks associated with environmental changes.

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

Since, under current legislation, no specific funds are earmarked for fisheries research, at least the same percentage share will be maintained for fisheries research as under the previous budget. This appropriation is further intended to fund the development and improvement of the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) concept as a policy instrument for sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and the development of a policy concept restricting discard of by catches.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

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

The specific objectives of this programme are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | studies in support of the programme and its actions, |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | dissemination, information and communication activities. |

Remarks

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

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

As indicated in the legal basis, the ICT PSP shall provide for the following actions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Activities will strengthen Europe’s scientific and technology base and ensure its global leadership in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe’s citizens, businesses, industry and governments.

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Remarks

Investing in knowledge is the best way for Europe to foster sustainable growth in a global economy and the research programme is the cornerstone of Europe’s knowledge policy. The specific programme ‘Capacities’ under the Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities aims to enhance research and innovation capacity throughout Europe and beyond through the emergence and reinforcement of multidisciplinary European poles of excellence. In particular, research infrastructures play a key role in supporting the creation of knowledge, its dissemination, application and exploitation, thus fostering innovation.

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

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Union to investigate new areas of research suitable for EU action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes. In this context, actions of coordination of, and support to, strategies of international collaboration with developing and leading regions are promoted for global research communities and towards the new e-Science paradigm.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation according to the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

Any revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | being built at sea-basin or fishery levels, |

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

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

Conditions for releasing the reserve

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

|  |  |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | information and publishing expenditure, |

|  |  |

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

|  |  |

| — | expenditure on information technology and telecommunications, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | contract for the provision of services and studies, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | grants. |

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The European Parliament has been a pioneer in promoting Roma rights; its first resolution on the issue goes back to 1984. During the sixth parliamentary term, the European Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions on the specific situation of Roma in Europe. In particular, in its resolution of 31 January 2008 on a European strategy on the Roma ([OJ C 68 E, 21.3.2009, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2009:068E:TOC)), the European Parliament urged ‘the Commission to develop a European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion aimed at providing policy coherence at Union level as regards the social inclusion of Roma and urges the Commission at the same time to comprehensively shape a Community Action Plan on Roma Inclusion with the task of providing financial support for realising the objective of the European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion’. Also, in its resolution of 10 July 2008 on the census of the Roma on the basis of ethnicity in Italy ([OJ C 294 E, 3.12.2009, p. 54](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2009:294E:TOC)), the European Parliament reiterated those requests and again called on the Commission and the Member States, within the framework of a European Union Roma Strategy and in the context of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, to enact legislation and policies to support Roma communities while promoting their integration in all fields, to launch anti-racism and anti-discrimination programmes in schools, employment and the media and to enhance the exchange of expertise and best practices.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Goals are:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to promote the exchange of best practices. |

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

The aim of this preparatory action is to foster the development of micro-credit in Europe, in line with the Europe 2020 Strategy growth and employment targets and the recommendations set out in the European Parliament resolution of 11 July 2007 on financial services policy (2005 to 2010) — White Paper ([OJ C 175 E, 10.7.2008, p. 392](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2008:175E:TOC)), with particular reference to the need for a micro-credit action plan.

The purpose of the preparatory action is to:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

Starting date of the project: 1 January 2011.

End date of the project: 31 December 2013.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensuring the security of the region. |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This appropriation should also be used to organise or develop:

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Funding for the preparatory action will serve to:

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

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

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

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

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

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

The preparatory action funding will serve to:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | prepare stakeholders to implement the action plan. |

Remarks

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

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

A number of measures are needed:

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Goals are:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to promote the exchange of best practices. |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the improvement and development of new solutions for handling expertise by means of accessible common platforms and project information as well as building networks. |

The preparatory action will promote social and economic stability in the regions concerned, including actions to develop cohesion between communities by means of opening space for familiarising with, and giving due acknowledgement to, each other’s cultures and histories and will also highlight the added value of transnational cooperation. This should create a sustainable basis for a common platform giving access to regional expertise and increasing regional cooperation and should in addition allow lessons to be drawn from the experience of a macro-region strategy. The eligible area shall be the Danube macro-region and the surrounding countries in line with the European Neighbourhood Policy. The organisation of programmes should involve nongovernmental organisations, civil society organisations, in order to ensure that reconciliation efforts go also beyond the governmental sphere. The programmes eligible for funds shall involve participants from at least three Member States from the region.

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, |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | a cross-cutting programme: incorporating four key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language learning and activity related to information and communication technologies where these fall outside the specific programmes, and to provide a better dissemination service.  Special education needs for persons suffering from disabilities or ‘dys’ conditions can be addressed in all the abovementioned sectoral programmes. |

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | European University Institute (EUI): One part of the increase is intended to cover, inter alia, supplementary expenditures relating to the activities of the EUI in accordance with Article 36(2)(b) of Decision No 1720/2006/EC establishing the Lifelong Learning Programme. A complementary contribution should be allocated to the EUI’s Global Governance Programme. The Programme started in 2010 and is now consolidating and expanding its activities. The increase will further improve and widen the PhD training with respect to global governance and world affairs at the EUI; enlarge the European Academy of Global Governance devoted to top level training, discussion and debates; enhance the community of junior post-doctoral fellows specialised in these areas; attract to the EUI a significant number of senior scholars drawn from Member States’ universities and research centres and from international institutions; further increase the number of interrelated strands of basic and applied research on issues of global governance; promote and support a variety of events, conferences and High-Level Policy Seminars on issues of global governance; and further consolidate the European Network of Global Governance as well as the dissemination activities of the programme. |

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

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

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of studies for persons coming from the ENP countries and those specialising in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and for related academic activities including the sustainable functioning of the ENP Chair in the College of Europe, Natolin campus and other educational modules

The recently revised European Neighbourhood Policy, in the light of the Arab Spring, as projected by the Commission, the Council and the European Parliament in their respective decisions and resolutions, and in view of the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership, both of which relate directly to the Southern and Eastern Neighbourhood respectively, requires preparing, on a regular bases future European and neighbouring countries interlocutors, i.e. personnel for EU-ENP-related jobs. They should be fully and professionally acquainted on regular basis with the substance and spirit of Union policies, Union law and Union institutions and the acquis communautaire, and thus the ENP. This 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 neighbourhood and border policies (with the Frontex agency being based in Warsaw) in the framework of the ENP Chair, already established thanks to the Union funding, are best-placed to offer tailor-made programs and other educational modules in this regard.

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

Special Annual Event: The European MOVE Week

Commitments: EUR 1 000 000

The European MOVE Week, organised by ISCA (International Sport and Culture Association), is a Europe-wide event promoting sport and physical activity and their positive impact on European societies. As part of the vision to get 100 million more Europeans to be active in sport and physical activity by 2020, the MOVE Week 2013 will display the true nature of grassroots sport and engage European citizens from all walks of life in activities right where they are — in the local communities. MOVE Week 2013 will thus feature a minimum of 200 events from all 27 Member States and a minimum of 100 cities in a large-scale celebration of sport and physical activity, introducing new sport and physical activity initiatives and highlighting the myriad of successful existing actions. The European MOVE Week 2013 will be the first week-long Europe-wide campaign using physical activity events in diverse settings to promote and celebrate active lifestyles.

Special Annual Event: Preparation of European Special Olympics Summer Games in Antwerp, Belgium 2014

Commitments: EUR 500 000

This appropriation is allocated to co-finance the essential preparation for the multi-annual event of the European Special Olympics Summer Games in Antwerp, Belgium (9 to 20 September 2014). This funding will allow participating athletes from all 27 Member States to train, to prepare and to attend the games in Belgium. The event will see 2 000 athletes and their delegations from 58 countries competing over 10 days. More than 4 000 volunteers will help to make this multi-sport event unique. Along with the sport activities, other events (scientific, educational and family programmes) will be set up. Antwerp will host the event and about 30 Belgian cities will host the athletes.

European University Championships

Commitments: EUR 500 000

The first European University Championships will be held in Italy in 2014, in Rome and in different cities of the Lazio Region and in other neighbouring regions and has received the complete approval of the Italian Government and the Italian Olympic Committee. For the first time a really new and remarkable Sport Event addressed to student athletes from all Member States will be organised. This event will contribute to the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy and to the achievement of the aims set out in the European Community 2007 White Paper on Sport promoting sports values. In order to encourage sports practice in harmony with the university spirit, the event aims to promote friendship, fraternity, cultural exchanges among students who one day may hold key positions in the society, to fight any form of violence and to carry out a permanent struggle against doping. In addition, sport practice promotes among university students a good healthy lifestyle and a development which is not just intellectual but also moral and physical. Seminars will be organised within the framework of the event to emphasise the role of sport as an important tool for improving people’s psycho-physical well-being. Furthermore, the European University Championships gather together some of the most important targets of European policy: education/university networks, sport and youths.

The organisation of the Championships will follow the same schema of the Universiadi and in the world classification is in second position just after the Olympic Games.

The programme of Universiadi currently includes 10 compulsory sports (13 compulsory disciplines) and up to three optional sports.

Competitions of disabled people will also be included.

The expected number of university student athletes to attend the competitions is about 5 000 to 7 000.

The realisation of the event scheduled for summer 2014, will be preceded during 2013 by an intensive period of promotion through conferences, street events and media campaign.

This special event received the agreement and the support of FISU (International University Sports Federation) and EUSA (European University Sport Association).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover completion costs of the preparatory action — European partnerships on sport.

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the physical and moral integrity of sportsmen and sportswomen, and training conditions for minors, |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

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

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

It covers in particular activities such as:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 50 000.

Pilot project — European Union Real Time Sign Language Application and Service

Remarks

1. Objective

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

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

This pilot project shall ensure the direct communication access to all Union institutions for the almost one million deaf citizens and 60 to 80 million hard-of-hearing people using different sign languages in all Member States.

This pilot project is suggested in regards to the European Parliament resolution of 18 July 1988 on sign language for the deaf ([OJ C 187, 18.7.1988, p. 236](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:1988:187:TOC)), the resolution of 18 November 1998 on sign languages ([OJ C 379, 7.12.1998, p. 66](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:1998:379:TOC)) as well as the resolution of 25 October 2011 on mobility and inclusion of people with disabilities and the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 (P7\_TA(2011)0453).

2. Implementation

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

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

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

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

3. Forecast for 2013

The overall timeline for this Pilot Project is estimated at 14 months and a total budget of EUR 1 100 000, which includes full implementation of the IT application and building up of the service platform free of charge.

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

Remarks

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

The group will examine what the current perception of Europe is and come up with concrete suggestions on how to create a new identity for Europe containing a new narrative.

Remarks

New item

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | broaden the ECSH partnership base with key organisations at Union and national level that are interested in sharing the physical space of the ECSH or become national contact points providing services in different languages, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | implement wide spread consultations and outreach activities with citizens, local authorities and other stakeholders to expand ECSH supporters, create an enabling environment for its operation and define its services for the benefit of the communities and of Union citizens, |

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

Remarks

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

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

(1) Health information

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

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

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

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

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

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

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

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

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

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

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

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

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

The budget should cover training courses, international events, exchange of experiences, good practices, and 1international collaboration with a view to the practical use of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) both for local government and development agencies and for individuals or companies willing to apply for a grant provided by the Union.

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | ensure maximum precision of the data evaluation, |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Objectives:

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

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

Expected outcomes

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

Starting date of the project: June 2012.

End date of the project: June 2014.

Remarks

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

Aims of the preparatory action:

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

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

Pilot project — European prevalence protocol for early detection of autistic spectrum disorders in Europe

Remarks

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

The creation of a shared European perspective on autism spectrum disorders necessitates the encouragement of advocacy, trans-cultural and cost-effective clinical practices, research, and exchange of information and expertise. The ability of adults with autism to take care, or even provide for themselves depends on their intellectual properties and their ability to cope with the social and communicative demands of modern society. Patients first diagnosed in adulthood tend to have high intellectual capacities but still fail due to poor social and communicative skills. Specific support relies on the existence of tested protocols in order to detect the ASD symptoms/behavioural patterns that arise not only in severe forms of autism generally diagnosed in childhood but also in milder forms first diagnosed in adulthood. If properly taught social responses and accepted behaviours, autistic adults can function as contributing members of society. Presently, the majority of such high functioning autistic adults live socially isolated and rely on social support due to a lack of recognition of the specific form of high functioning autism and specific means to support these people.

Aim of the project

The objectives of this project should focus on the major issue surrounding ASD in adulthood, namely early detection of high functioning ASD and developments of means to support such people. The strategic objective is the improvement of the quality of life, social and vocational reintegration of individuals affected by ASD and avoidance of social disintegration and early retirement.

Description of the project

The proposed action will build on the progress yielded by the European Autism Information System (EAIS) project (http://www.eais.eu/) via implementation of the protocols developed. This proposal is particularly focused on applying a public health model to ASD, with work packages on prevalence, screening, diagnosis and intervention.

There are three specific achievements to be reached for this project, The European Prevalence Protocol for early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorders in Europe. These are as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | To estimate the prevalence of ASD in 6 to 9 pilot areas, to be located in different Member States, using the harmonised European Autism Prevalence Protocol developed by the EAIS project, and to validate aforementioned protocol in different languages and cultural settings. This will lead to the first continental study of autism prevalence and will ideally supply the European Commission with an accurate estimate of the number of ASD-afflicted individuals in Europe. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | To implement and, as much as possible validate a strategy for early identification of ASD in 6 to 9 pilot areas via the utilisation of the harmonised protocol developed by the EAIS project. This is to include a component of translating and adapting autism screening tools into different languages and cultural settings and to compare the results. Furthermore, this objective will aim to increase awareness of autism amongst public and professional communities, and aid in the training of health care professionals in order to improve their familiarity of and ability to recognise ASD in childhood and also high functioning variants in adulthood. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | To review current best practices on early intervention, diagnosis and clinical management on ASD, to collaborate with partners in order to review what is currently delivered by their services regarding early intervention for children and adults with ASD, and to identify specific needs and to then design a training program in intervention appropriate for that community and to make recommendations about staff training. |

At the end of the project period, a clear picture of comparable, population-based prevalence rates in the Member States will exist. Moreover, the medical community will have guidelines on how to recognize ASD at an early stage and low and high functioning variants, and how best to diagnose and to medically intervene in order to assure best individually possible outcomes. The envisioned multicultural, poly-lingual experience will provide a unique opportunity for future expansion, both in Europe and worldwide, in order to improve the quality of life of people suffering from ASD. This project will lay a strong focus on disseminating the findings of this holistic public health approach broadly across European member countries, so that the potential benefits may be reaped by as many afflicted individuals and families as possible.

Remarks

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most frequent killers in women and men in Europe. Our study aims at establishing a best practice scheme across the Union, improving diagnosis and therapy by considering sex specific manifestations of the disease. This will largely improve diagnosis and treatment in women and men and basic principles may be translated to other diseases.

The objectives of the program are for the involved countries:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to increase medical and public awareness about gender differences in CAD regarding clinical manifestations and incidence, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to establish Union guidelines on gender specific manifestations of CAD and treatments, |

Remarks

The Union’s financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supplement national financial resources and contributes to harmonising measures at Union level. The bulk of these diseases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, avian influenza, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Moreover, the persistence of the diseases in question hampers the smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the Union.

Remarks

The outbreak of some animal diseases in the Union could possibly have a major impact on the 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.

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance, as regards structural measures, projects and measures concerning the reception of refugees, displaced persons and asylum seekers which meet the conditions governing eligibility for Union financial aid.

It is intended to support Member States’ efforts to integrate refugees and other persons granted supplementary support, and to allow displaced persons to lead a life for which they themselves are responsible, through measures taken chiefly in the following areas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | facilitating access to employment, including vocational training, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | acquisition of knowledge of the language, society, culture and institutions of the host country, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | facilitating access to housing and to the medical and social infrastructure of the host country, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | support for persons in particular need of protection, such as women refugees, unaccompanied minors and torture victims, including victims of forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation and rape victims, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | integration into local structures and activities, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | improvement in public awareness and understanding of refugees’ situation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | analysis of the situation of refugees in the Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | training on gender issues and child protection for officials, healthcare workers and police officers at reception centres, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | separate accommodation for single women and girls. |

Moreover, it is intended to support efforts of the voluntary burden sharing operations by Member States, such as the resettlement, reception and integration by Member States of refugees coming from third countries and recognised by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and transfers of applicants and beneficiaries of international protection from one Member State to another which grants them equivalent protection.

Part of this appropriation will be used for supporting the Member States in direct cooperation with United Nations humanitarian and other agencies which on a voluntary basis extend resettlement in a flexible manner in acute refugee situations. The focus will be on the most vulnerable groups and cases where other durable solutions are regarded as having been ruled out.

Particular attention should be given to when the appropriation can be used to demonstrate a significant and tangible act of solidarity at European level which can produce added value as part of a broader approach on delivery of humanitarian support to a country or region.

At the Commission’s initiative, this appropriation is also intended to cover transnational actions or actions of interest to the Union as a whole (Union actions) concerning asylum policy and measures applicable to the target population of the Fund, in particular to offer adequate support to joint efforts by Member States to identify, share and promote best practices and establish effective cooperation structures in order to enhance the quality of decision making.

This appropriation is also intended to cover earlier commitments from ERF I and II, including those regarding voluntary repatriation.

It is also intended to finance a Union action to compile data for collaboration and exchange of best practices among childcare workers in closed detention centres for asylum seekers and immigrants.

A solidarity mechanism will be established to facilitate the voluntary reallocation of refugees and beneficiaries of international protection from Member States which are facing severe pressure from immigration flows to other Member States. The mechanism would be established at Union level and brought into operation on a trial basis so that it may eventually be continued under a Common European Asylum System. Member States would freely determine all aspects of the selection process on a voluntary basis. The Commission would set the framework, issue guidelines, encourage participation and facilitate management and coordination.

The mechanism should be established in line with the European Council Conclusions of 18 and 19 June 2009. The conclusions note that, in view of the present humanitarian emergency, concrete measures need to be quickly put in place and implemented. The European Council called for the coordination of voluntary measures for internal reallocation of beneficiaries of international protection present in the Member States exposed to specific and disproportionate pressures and highly vulnerable persons and welcomed the intention of the Commission to take initiatives in this respect, starting with a pilot project.

Remarks

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | reception and accommodation, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | provision of subsistence funds, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | medical, psychological and other assistance, aimed in particular at minors and including specialised assistance to women and girls who have fallen victim to harassment in any form or to criminal acts (rape, violence or specific forms of torture such as forced abortion, female genital mutilation or coerced sterilisation) or have suffered because of poor conditions as refugees, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | necessary staffing and administrative costs in connection with reception and carrying out the measures, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | expert missions and ancillary technical assistance for the identification of displaced persons, |

| — | logistical and transport costs. |

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

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

Remarks

The main objective of this pilot project is to establish a network of contacts and discussion between targeted municipalities and local authorities in Member States which have just started a resettlement programme, or wish to participate in the near future, and Member States which are experienced in resettlement, drawing on UNHCR and non-governmental organisation (NGO) experiences and best practices in the resettlement and reintegration of refugees. The pilot project will cover the following actions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying municipalities or local authorities in Member States that have just started resettlement programmes (e.g. Portugal, Romania) or are about to do so (e.g. Spain) and arranging meetings with selected municipalities or local authorities in resettlement countries (e.g. the UK and the Netherlands) with a view to strengthening ‘new’ resettlement programmes and ensuring that they are of a high quality and sustainable, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying municipalities or local authorities or NGOs in Member States not yet participating in resettlement programmes, but wishing to join the network with a view to future participation in such programmes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | holding meetings of representatives of the targeted local authorities and municipalities involved, along with the UNHCR, participating NGOs and representatives of resettled refugees, to lay down the activities to be developed jointly, including visits, exchanges of experience, training and thematic meetings focusing on issues such as housing, education and employment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | designing a form for collecting information from the various stakeholders on procedures, types of monitoring prior to resettlement, types of information collected on the refugees to be resettled (including cultural, health and educational issues and diet), infrastructure, human resources, accommodation, reception, actions taken after resettlement for the integration of refugees, community participation in the process, any economic, legal or educational aid, the role of refugees already resettled in the integration process, and cooperation with NGOs, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creating a task force, with the necessary human and technical resources, to make the practical arrangements for the project and in particular to provide for the necessary meetings, collect available information, create a website and content for it, thus increasing the exchange of information between the stakeholders in the resettlement process, and create links with existing resettlement-related projects and/or websites. This website will also allow information on past and future meetings between municipalities or local authorities to be made available to all interested parties on a systematic basis, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | collating the information gathered by the task force, which will then circulate it for discussion on the network, in order to draw conclusions on best practices. |

The experience gained from the pilot project will be recorded and passed on to the Resettlement Unit in the European Asylum Support Office (EASO).

Remarks

This preparatory action aims to create a new line of funding to support the resettlement of refugees in emergency conditions that are not covered by the current European Refugee Fund (ERF) rules, and will not be covered in the near future as the current Fund, in its third iteration (ERF III), lapses in 2014. The activities carried out in the framework of this preparatory action, and the experiences collected within that framework, could then be integrated in the revision of the ERF planned for 2014.

The following actions are covered by this preparatory action:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to support persons already recognised as refugees by UNHCR and ERF falling victim to natural disasters, armed attacks, etc., |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to support emergency action in the case of groups of refugees, identified as priorities according to ERF and UNHCR rules, who are under armed attack, that have been victims of a natural disaster, or that face other conjunctures of extreme vulnerability and of a life-threatening nature, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to fund rapid resettlement procedures of the Member States in conditions replicated from the routine resettlement activities funded by the ERF, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to guarantee financing for emergency procedures without disruption of the ongoing ERF resettlement procedures, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to provide, where needed, extra financial support during emergencies to the Office of UNHCR and to its liaison organisations in the Member States and at Union level, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | to strengthen the activities of the European Asylum Support Office. |

Remarks

The aim of this pilot project is to identify good practices on prevention, reception, protection and integration policies for unaccompanied minors. The child may be returned to his or her country of origin where it will be necessary to guarantee reintegration or may be given the status of international protection or other legal status that allows the child to integrate in the Member State of residence; alternatively, the child may be resettled in the Union. In all these cases it is important that the best interests of the child will be guaranteed. The pilot project should contribute to the implementation of the 2010 Commission action plan on unaccompanied minors (2010-2014) and actions specified thereof:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying prevention actions and policies vis-à-vis the group to which the unaccompanied minors belong (e.g., asylum seekers, victims of trafficking, children who enter illegally into the Union) and/or the country or region of origin, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying best practices on child reception and protection, and in particular on issues such as procedures at first encounter, legal representation, appointment of a guardian, access to and adequacy of reception facilities, initial interviews, education and medical care, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying good practices in specific measures and procedural guarantees for unaccompanied minors in the Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | evaluating the various experiences of combating the phenomenon of missing children and identifying best practices, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying best practices on restoring family unity and reintegration of unaccompanied minors in their countries of origin. |

Remarks

The main objective of this preparatory action is to establish a network of contacts and discussion between targeted municipalities and local authorities in Member States which have just started a resettlement programme, or wish to participate in the near future, and Member States which are experienced in resettlement, drawing on UNHCR and non-governmental organisation (NGO) experiences and best practices in the resettlement and reintegration of refugees. The preparatory action will cover the following actions:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying municipalities or local authorities in Member States that have just started resettlement programmes (e.g. Portugal, Romania) or are about to do so (e.g. Spain) and arranging meetings with selected municipalities or local authorities in resettlement countries (e.g. the UK and the Netherlands) with a view to strengthening ‘new’ resettlement programmes and ensuring that they are of a high quality and sustainable, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | identifying municipalities or local authorities or NGOs in Member States not yet participating in resettlement programmes, but wishing to join the network with a view to future participation in such programmes, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | holding meetings of representatives of the targeted local authorities and municipalities involved, along with the UNHCR, participating NGOs and representatives of resettled refugees, to lay down the activities to be developed jointly, including visits, exchanges of experience, training and thematic meetings focusing on issues such as housing, education and employment, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | designing a form for collecting information from the various stakeholders on procedures, types of monitoring prior to resettlement, types of information collected on the refugees to be resettled (including cultural, health and educational issues and diet), infrastructure, human resources, accommodation, reception, actions taken after resettlement for the integration of refugees, community participation in the process, any economic, legal or educational aid, the role of refugees already resettled in the integration process, and cooperation with NGOs, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | creating a task force, with the necessary human and technical resources, to make the practical arrangements for the project and in particular to provide for the necessary meetings, collect available information, create a website and content for it, thus increasing the exchange of information between the stakeholders in the resettlement process, and create links with existing resettlement-related projects and/or websites. This website will also allow information on past and future meetings between municipalities or local authorities to be made available to all interested parties on a systematic basis, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | collating the information gathered by the task force, which will then circulate it for discussion on the network, in order to draw conclusions on best practices. |

The experience gained from the preparatory action will be recorded and passed on to the Resettlement Unit in the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) once it has been set up.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

This thematic programme will, in the context of its new strategy, also take into account migration that results from climate change. The respect of democratic principles and the rule of law, as well as of human rights and of fundamental freedoms, will constitute an essential element for the application of this instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be associated with measures aimed at strengthening democracy and the rule of law and compliance with international instruments in this field, including the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees.

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

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

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002, the Commission, when entering into joint management with international organisations, will — upon request — undertake to make available to its Internal Auditor as well as to the European Court of Auditors all internal and external audits which concern the use of Union funds.

Part of this appropriation will be devoted to the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation, providing a European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation and an EU-UN Fellowship Programme, beyond the expiry by the end of 2006 of Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a Community action programme to promote bodies active at European level and support specific activities in the field of education and training ([OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:138:TOC)).

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

The Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving Member States and the neighbouring partner countries [(6)](#ntr6-L_2013066EN.02000101-E0006). To that effect the Union has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation. The Union has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common interests and shared values and based on the creation of four ‘common spaces’. The appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on Union policy objectives.

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

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

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

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

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the Union’s external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the Union’s Strategic Partnership with Russia, as well as within the Black Sea Synergy. The adoption of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) has considerably enhanced the scope for cross-border cooperation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Under the new approach, cross-border cooperation programmes established on the Union’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the general budget of the Union and be implemented in accordance with a single set of rules, namely those established under Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument ([OJ L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:310:TOC)). The global amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget items presented under this article.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)) (DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the Union contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated 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. |

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

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

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

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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 the investment from the general budget of the Union makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Latin American countries.

Remarks

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

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

A relevant part of this appropriation must be exclusively devoted to fund the start up of the five-year plan for phasing out opium cultivation by replacing it with alternative production in order to obtain a verifiable outcome in this field, in line with the demands expressed in the European Parliament resolution of 16 December 2010 on a new strategy for Afghanistan ([OJ C 169 E, 15.6.2012, p. 108](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:C:2012:169E:TOC)).

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

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

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

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the Financial Regulation, to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making.

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

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 the investment from the general budget of the Union makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Asian countries.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities directed towards the citizens of the Union and dealing with the Union’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 Union’s external relations, particularly in relation to the future of the Union’s external policy:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the organisation of visits for groups of representatives of civil society. |

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

The proposed pilot project will address these issues with a two-part strategy, each part building on the other. Both are essential in order to develop long-term, credible alternatives to the Horn’s military dictatorial regimes:

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

| (2) | Strengthen youth and youth movements in the Horn of Africa with a view to effectively preparing them for future democratic changes. Young people, both in the Horn and in the diaspora in Africa, are the future for their countries but lack skills and knowledge, as well as life experience in a peaceful and democratic environment. They also lack the means to develop those skills and their governments hardly invest in young people. They are often housed in refugee camps. The displacement and often unclear legal status mean that learning opportunities pass them by. In order to train future leaders and senior government officials and establish genuine democratic processes, external investment in the Horn’s youth is essential. Investment in their skills, tapping effectively into their enthusiasm, dreams and hopes for the future is more strategic than investment in changing the current establishment. |

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Part of these appropriations will also be used to support the United Nations initiative entitled ‘Sustainable Energy for All’.

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

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

In order to ensure full financial transparency pursuant to Articles 53 to 56 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002, the Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make all efforts that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Union funds.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions pursuant to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

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

In the context of climate change, the Union needs to take the lead as regards measures to reduce the effects and causes of climate change. The exchange of good practices between the Member States in the area of energy efficiency will enable the Union to act in a coordinated fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions. The Union should consider promoting energy efficiency as an instrument to combat the consequences of climate change and also stimulate the use of renewable energy resources in developing countries so as to make them less energy-dependent.

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

Remarks

Overall objective

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

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

This would be achieved through two seminars organised in 2013 in Europe and Africa respectively.

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | providing knowledge exchange at policy and research level, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | providing a forum for European and African entrepreneurs and academia/research, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | engage the European and African Member governments. |

The envisaged participants of the pilot project are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the European Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the African Union, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | industry representatives from the raw materials and waste/recycling sectors, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | academia/research representatives involved in environmental technologies for resource efficiency and recycling. |

Conclusions

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

On this basis, the pilot project is intended to address the following main issues:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | common policy on waste management: waste (raw materials) produced in Europe and exported to Africa should be treated in an effective and environmentally sound manner. In this context, the European Union and the African Union should develop a common waste management plan for these materials, |

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | economy and jobs creation: investing in greening the waste sector can generate multiple economic and environmental benefits. For example, recycling creates more jobs than it replaces, making it one of the most important sectors in terms of employment creation. EU waste legislation is one of the most innovative and comprehensive of the world. Implementing it fully would result in cost savings of EUR 72 billion per year, an increase of EUR 42 billion per year in the turnover of waste management and recycling and the creation of 400 000 new jobs. |

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter. This appropriation is also intended to cover zinc supplementation and other micronutrients for the treatment and prevention of diarrhoea and malnutrition in developing countries.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions in developing countries and in Europe’s neighbouring countries under the ‘Education, knowledge and skills’ component of the thematic programme ‘Investing in people’.

Financial support is provided to actions in seven priority areas: (1) the Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary education by 2015 and the Dakar Framework for Action on Education for All; (2) basic, secondary and higher education plus vocational education and training, to improve access to education for all children and, increasingly, for women and men of all ages; (3) promotion of high-quality basic education, with particular focus on access for girls, children in conflict-affected areas and children from marginalised and more vulnerable social groups including children with disabilities; (4) developing ways to measure learning outcomes in order to better assess the quality of education; (5) promoting donor harmonisation and alignment to promote universal, compulsory, free and high quality education through international or multi-country initiatives; (6) supporting an inclusive knowledge-based society and contributing to bridging the digital divide, and knowledge and information gaps; and (7) improving knowledge and innovation through science and technology together with the development of, and access to, electronic communication networks.

The measures should take into consideration the fact that migration is reduced as a result of improved education and hence life prospects in countries of origin.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population in countries covered by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This appropriation is also intended to fund malaria vaccination programmes.

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

Basic education

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

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

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.

Remarks

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

Moreover, in parallel with the Commission declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI) ([OJ L L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../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 DCI will be dedicated 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 the European Parliament and the Council with an annual report on the Union’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is in accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) between the European Union and South Africa and Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation ([OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:378:TOC)).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Development cooperation focuses mainly on:

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

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

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

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

Given South Africa’s environmental challenges and the country’s role as the twelfth largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, development cooperation will include an increased focus on environmental protection and climate-change-related measures.

Remarks

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

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

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

This appropriation covers various forms of action:

Action A: Coordination at European and international level

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

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the Commission’s membership fees to the international organisations and networks, |

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

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

Action B: Raising awareness

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an ‘awareness-raising’ component, covering public opinion in the Union and in developing countries. |

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

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

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

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

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

Remarks

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

The assistance may be used to support:

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the development and restructuring of infrastructure, |

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

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

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | capacity building in order to improve the knowledge of civil society about the EU and its acquis, and in order to improve skills on how to apply for, and implement, Union funding. |

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

The European Parliament resolution of 29 March 2007 on the future of Kosovo and the role of the EU ([OJ C 27 E, 31.1.2008, p. 207](./../../../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 Union funding is available. The IPA programme broadly covers ‘reconstruction’ and ‘cooperation between communities’ but does not make specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement timetable. The aim of the information and communication strategy is to promote support for accession and to raise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where public opinion is more sensitive to future enlargement.

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

The Commission, when implementing this item, 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 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298: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 evaluation actions.

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

Information and communication actions will be directed at the general public, relevant specific audiences, especially youth, media and civil society organisations, and will seek to enhance support among opinion leaders for enlargement as well as the association and stabilisation process. The aim is also to strengthen the Union’s profile and political leverage in those countries and generate public support for the reform process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

New article

This appropriation is intended, for the first year after accession, to provide temporary financial assistance to Croatia to develop and strengthen its administrative and judicial capacity to implement and enforce Union law, and to foster the exchange of best practice among peers.

It shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through action which cannot be financed by the Structural Funds or by the rural development funds.

Assistance under the transition facility shall be decided and implemented in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 of 17 July 2006 establishing an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) ([OJ L 210, 31.7.2006, p. 82](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:210:TOC)) or on the basis of other technical provisions necessary for the operation of the transition facility, to be adopted by the Commission.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

In 2012, the Commission put forward a legislative proposal setting up EVHAC (COM(2012) 514 final). The aim of EVHAC is to create a framework for joint contributions from Europeans to humanitarian aid operations of the Union. It is a way of expressing the Union’s solidarity with people in need. EVHAC will add visibility to Europe as a global player showing solidarity with the most vulnerable sections of the world population and ensuring involvement of a wide range of actors. An initial review of the European voluntary humanitarian aid sector identified gaps and areas where the EVHAC will add value. These include the identification and selection of volunteers, training through the development of common standards, good practices and possibly modules and deployment. In addition to giving a European form to the widely dispersed activities carried out by volunteers, the existence of EVHAC will also lead to a more efficient coordination of humanitarian activities, to the standardisation of procedures and practices applying to volunteers and to economies of scale.

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

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

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

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

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

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

| p.m. | 500 000 | p.m. | 3 500 000 | 0,— | 1 030 925,93 |

Remarks

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

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

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

Remarks

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

The aim of this preparatory action will be:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| — | to create a European strategy and policy analysis system (ESPAS) with all Union institutions included by 2014 on the basis of a proposal from the Commission (Article 54 of the Financial Regulation). The European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) could continue to provide facilities and technical back-up until such time as the system becomes operational. The system:   |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | will be interinstitutional, focusing on global long-term trends, both external and internal, relating to the Union, |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | — | should be designed to provide regular input to the Union institutions to nourish long-term and medium-term strategic thinking, including reaching out to academics and other stakeholders to provide a broad perspective:   |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | this input would include a detailed appraisal of long-term global trends and the submission of a report to the incoming presidents of the Union institutions looking at challenges options for the period 2014-2019, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | further reports could include documents for the Union institutions for debate on forward-looking topics, helping foster and deepen cooperation between the Union institutions, | |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | should develop links with other countries undertaking global trends work in order to benefit from their expertise and provide its own expertise to other countries trying to get a grip on strategic trends and changes, | |

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

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Since expenditure on staff and buildings is included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01 and XX 01 03 01 and Article 26 01 23, the Commission contribution, together with the Agency’s own revenue, is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Agency in its activities.

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

This article is intended to cover earlier commitments.

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

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

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

Remarks

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

The territorial coverage of the centre would be the 27 Member States, Croatia and the candidate countries.

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

The pilot project would cover start-up costs for such a centre and co-financing of its annual running costs.

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

This pilot project aims to support journalistic organisations or individuals and media actors, in the 27 Member States and candidate and potential candidate countries, which allege violations of the European Charter for Freedom of the Press.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to improve the financial situation of SMEs that operate in their home Member State and across borders by supporting them in managing and enforcing outstanding claims. SMEs will be helped to optimise their business procedures by improving information access and dissemination in the area of credit and claims management instruments and options. The aim is also to improve the use, understanding and awareness of the legal instruments available. In this pilot project, multilingual practice-based guidelines will introduce the subject and methodology of credit and claims management and explain the application of existing legal instruments to the national and cross-border enforcement of claims (Regulation (EC) No 1896/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 creating a European order for payment procedure ([OJ L 399, 30.12.2006, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2006:399:TOC)), Regulation (EC) No 861/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 establishing a European Small Claims Procedure ([OJ L 199, 31.7.2007, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2007:199:TOC)), Regulation (EC) No 805/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 creating a European Enforcement Order for uncontested claims ([OJ L 143, 30.4.2004, p. 15](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2004:143:TOC)), Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters ([OJ L 12, 16.1.2001, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2001:012:TOC)), etc.). In addition, events will be arranged in a decentralised way throughout Europe, e.g. via the networks of chambers of commerce and industry, organisations representing SMEs or other facilities engaged in business promotion, to provide SMEs with information on credit and claims management and the available legal instruments available.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

Actions:

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | development of information instruments (e.g. vade mecum, practical guides, brochures, etc.) to provide all necessary information (rights, duties and responsibilities of parents and towards the children), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | involvement of all the competent authorities of Member States in the distribution of this information, |

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

Measures to be financed will focus on:

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

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

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

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | assessing the effectiveness of the measures undertaken, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | promoting exchange of best practices. |

Pilot project — Development of indicators to measure the implementation of the European Charter for Equality of Women and Men in Local Life

Remarks

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

ANNEXES

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

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

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

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget line relating to activities in which the EFTA States take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget lines concerned and the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget line, is published as an Annex to the general budget of the Union. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2013 is estimated at about EUR 369 914 677 in commitment appropriations. The EFTA States will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget lines concerning the contributions by the EFTA States 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 UNION BUDGET (BY WAY OF INDICATION)

A.   INTRODUCTION

This annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 35(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 ([OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2012:298:TOC)).

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

At 30 June 2012, outstanding operations covered by the Union budget totalled EUR 99 915 560 000; of that total EUR 73 029 800 000 was inside the Union and EUR 26 885 760 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate applicable at 30 June 2012).

2.   
Description

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

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

On 4 November 2008, the Council decided to provide 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 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 12 May 2011, the Council decided to make available to Romania a precautionary medium-term assistance amounting to a maximum of EUR 1 400 000 000 in the form of a loan with a maximum average maturity of 7 years.

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 2012 the outstanding amount under this instrument is EUR 11 400 000 000.

II.   EUROPEAN UNION GUARANTEE FOR UNION BORROWINGS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNDER THE EUROPEAN FINANCIAL STABILISATION MECHANISM

1.   
Legal basis

Council Regulation (EU) No 407/2010 of 11 May 2010 establishing a European financial stabilisation mechanism ([OJ L 118, 12.5.2010, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2010:118:TOC)).

Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Council Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU of 7 December 2010 on granting Union financial assistance to Ireland ([OJ L 30, 4.2.2011, p. 34](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:030:TOC)).

Council Implementing Decision 2011/682/EU of 11 October 2011 amending Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU on granting Union financial assistance to Ireland ([OJ L 269, 14.10.2011, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:269:TOC)).

Council Implementing Decision 2011/683/EU of 11 October 2011 amending Implementing Decision 2011/344/EU on granting Union financial assistance to Portugal ([OJ L 269, 14.10.2011, p. 32](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:269:TOC)).

2.   
Description

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

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

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

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

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

On 7 December 2010, the Union decided to make available to Ireland a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 22 500 000 000, with a maximum average maturity of 7,5 years ([OJ L 30, 4.2.2011, p. 34](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:030:TOC)).

On 30 May 2011, the Union decided to make available to Portugal a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 26 000 000 000 ([OJ L 159, 17.6.2011, p. 88](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:159:TOC)).

On 11 October 2011, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decisions 2011/77/EU and 2011/344/EU by extending the maturities and applying the reduction of the interest rate margin to all the tranches that have already been disbursed ([OJ L 269 of 14.10.2011, p. 31](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:2011:269:TOC) regarding Ireland (2011/682/EU) and p. 32 regarding Portugal (2011/683/EU)).

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

At 31 December 2012 the outstanding amount under this instrument is EUR 43 800 000 000.

3.   
Effect on the budget

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

On the revenue side, the provision on the interest income resulting from the interest differential between the loan and borrowing transactions paid by the beneficiary — initially made in Decisions 2011/77/EU and 2011/344/EU applying to each beneficiary country individually in Article 1(5) of those Decisions — has been repealed by Decisions 2011/682/EU and 2011/683/EU.

III.   EUROPEAN UNION GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE UNION TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN THIRD 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

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

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, 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 UNION GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE UNION TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THIRD COUNTRIES IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE

1.   
Legal basis

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

2.   
Description

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

3.   
Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions ([OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:293:TOC)), 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, 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 Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

1.   
Legal basis

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, 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 UNION 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 77/270/Euratom of 29 March 1977 empowering the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the financing of nuclear power stations ([OJ L 88, 6.4.1977, p. 9](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1977:088:TOC)).

2.   
Description

Pursuant to Decision 94/179/Euratom ([OJ L 84, 29.3.1994, p. 41](./../../../legal-content/EN/AUTO/?uri=OJ:L:1994:084:TOC)), the European Union extends the scope of Euratom borrowings under Decision 77/270/Euratom 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 third 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. K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39 000 000 (first tranche) in 2007, USD 22 000 000 in 2008, and USD 10 335 000 in 2009 under the 2004 Commission Decision.

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, 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 Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

2.   
Union budget guarantee

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

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

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

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

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Luxembourg on 1 August 2007 and in Brussels on 29 August 2007 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided in respect of EIB financing operations less amounts reimbursed, plus all related sum. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

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

3.   
Description

Under the Financial Protocols concluded with Mediterranean third 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).

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

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

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

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

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting the European Parliament, decided once again to grant the European Investment Bank the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of seven years from 1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not reached the abovementioned total values, the period has automatically been extended by six months.

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

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

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

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

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

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, 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 Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

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

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 the European Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of 2 years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew for 3 years the Community 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.

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in 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 six months.

On 19 May 1998, the Council decided 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 six months.

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

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

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in 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 seven years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

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

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

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

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following candidate countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under 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.

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

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, 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 Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

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

The overall ceiling of the credits is EUR 100 000 000. The EIB benefits from an exceptional Community guarantee of 100 %.

On 22 December 2004, the Council decided to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for certain types of projects in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. The overall ceiling of the credits is EUR 500 000 000. The EIB benefits from an exceptional Community guarantee of 100 %.

Decision 2005/48/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 21 December 2005 and in Luxembourg on 9 December 2005 setting up a guarantee to 100 %.

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 Eastern Europe countries: the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus (eligibility to be decided by the Council); in the Southern Caucasus countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and in Russia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

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

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, exceptionally, from the Fund of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

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

3.   
Description

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

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

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 375 000 000 is for the Republic of South Africa. It covered a period of three years beginning on 1 July 1997 (with a possible 6-month extension).

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

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. It covers a period beginning on 1 July 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that 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.

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under 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.

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

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, exceptionally, from the Fund of 9 % of the guaranteed operations, |

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

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

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 2012.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2012
’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2012 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2012
’: 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 2012, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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