A. **INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET**

**INTRODUCTION**

The general budget of the 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 155 004 173 148 in commitment appropriations and
EUR 143 885 295 484 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of – 4,48 % and of + 1,84 % respectively by comparison
with the 2015 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 143 885 295 484. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the GNI resource
is 0,7134 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 12,92 % of the financing of the budget for 2016.
The VAT resource accounts for 13,07 % and the GNI resource for 72,88 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR
1 616 701 373.

The own resources needed to finance the 2016 budget account for 0,97 % 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).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2007&mm=06&jj=23&type=L&nnn=163&pppp=0017&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2016 budget.

_Remarks_

The common organisation of the market in the sugar sector provided that sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers
had to pay basic and B production levies. These levies were intended to cover market support expenditure. At present
amounts entered under this article are a consequence of the revision of past established levies. Levies for the marketing
years 2007/2008 and following years are entered under Article 1 1 7 of this chapter as a ‘production charge’.

_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 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’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,7134 %.

The budgetary imbalance correction mechanism in favour of the United Kingdom (UK correction) was introduced by
the European Council in Fontainebleau in June 1984 and the resulting own resources decision of 1985. The purpose of
the mechanism is to reduce the UK budgetary imbalance through a reduction in its payments to the Union.

_Remarks_

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or
deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and,
where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 39 of the Financial Regulation. 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.

A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

_Remarks_

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.

Each Member State is debited with an amount calculated on the basis of that statement according to Union rules and
credited with the 12 payments actually made during the previous financial year. The Commission works out each
Member State’s balance and informs it in time for that Member State to enter its balance in the Commission’s account
referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 on the first working day of December of the

same year.

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, 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,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2003&mm=07&jj=19&type=L&nnn=181&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

_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 2014 will be
used for research in 2016. In order to reduce as far as possible the f luctuations 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 2016 comes to EUR 43 100 000.

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

_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_

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 CO 2 emissions from lightduty 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
CO 2 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_

_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 22 04 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.

This article may accommodate, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, assigned revenue which is
used to provide additional appropriations to finance expenditure to which this revenue is assigned.

_Legal basis_

For the legal basis, see remarks for Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in Section III
‘Commission’.

_Remarks_

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the
European Coal and Steel Community (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 2014 will be
used for research in 2016. In order to reduce as far as possible the f luctuations 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 2016 comes to EUR 43 100 000.

_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_

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 CO 2 emissions from lightduty 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
CO 2 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_

|p.m.|30 000 000|292 611 339,40|

_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 22 04 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 six-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

This article may accommodate, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, assigned revenue which is
used to provide additional appropriations to finance expenditure to which this revenue is assigned.

This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the citizens of the Union
and the Union institutions, and to take account of specific national and regional characteristics, where appropriate in
cooperation with the Member State authorities. Emphasis will also be placed on preparing citizens for the introduction
of the euro in Member States planning for its introduction.

It includes:

opinion polls, surveys, studies, promotional material, twinning programmes, training etc.), and similar activities at
the national and regional level implemented in cooperation with the Commission’s representations,

— partnership agreements with Member States that wish to provide information about the euro or the EMU,

— cooperation and networking with Member States in the appropriate forums,

— communication initiatives in third countries, in particular to point out the international role of the euro and the
value of financial integration.

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

The implementation of the Commission’s communication strategy takes place in close coordination with the Member
States and the European Parliament.

The Commission adopts a strategy and an annual work plan drawing on the orientations set out in its Communication
of 11 August 2004 (COM(2004) 552 final) and it reports regularly to the relevant committee of the European
Parliament on the implementation of the programme and on planning for the coming year.

This appropriation is also intended to cover or to temporarily pre-finance costs incurred by the Union in concluding
and carrying out operations linked with the borrowing and lending operations for macro-financial assistance, Euratom,
balance of payment and European financial stabilisation mechanism.

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 Regulation (EU) No 407/2010, the outstanding amount of loans and credit lines

_Remarks_

This preparatory action is intended to finance the provision of support to Member States for the implementation of key
reforms in the areas of fiscal responsibility, growth-enhancing public administration and competitiveness.

This support will aim to enhance the capacity of Member States to implement reforms and to strengthen their public
institutions. It should be focused in particular on fiscal, structural and institutional reforms that have been identified as
priorities in the course of the Union’s regular cycle of macroeconomic surveillance, in the course of an economic
adjustment programme, during enhanced surveillance, or during post-programme surveillance. It will be delivered by
the Commission upon request of the Member State concerned and is open to all Member States.

This appropriation may be used to cover the implementation of technical assistance programmes and projects by
national and international public organisations with strong expertise in capacity development and institution building
as well as by private sector actors. It may also be used to cover expenditure related to the preparatory phases of such
programmes and projects (programming, identification and formulation) as well as monitoring, evaluation, audit and
control during and after implementation. It may also cover the costs of short-term technical assistance, twinning-type
arrangements between public authorities as well as support expenditure for such activities (training, meetings, seminars,

_Remarks_

Macro-financial assistance (‘MFA’) is a form of financial aid extended by the Union to partner countries experiencing a
balance of payments crisis. MFA is designed for countries geographically, economically and politically close to the
Union. These include candidate and potential candidate countries, countries covered by the European Neighbourhood
Policy and, in certain circumstances, other third countries. In principle, MFA is only available to countries benefiting
from an International Monetary Fund programme.

MFA is exceptional in nature and is mobilised on a case-by-case basis to help countries dealing with serious balance-ofpayments difficulties. Its objective is to restore a sustainable external financial situation, while encouraging economic
adjustments and structural reforms.

While MFA can take the form of medium/long-term loans or grants, or a combination of these, this article only covers
the grant element of MFA operations.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover costs incurred in relation to MFA operations, and in
particular: (i) costs incurred to conduct operational assessments in the beneficiary countries to obtain reasonable
assurances on the functioning of administrative procedures and financial circuits, (ii) costs for ex-post evaluations of
MFA operations, and (iii) costs to cover comitology requirements.

_**01 03 02**_ _(cont'd)_

The Commission will inform the budgetary authority regularly of the macro-financial situation of the beneficiary
countries and will report extensively on the implementation of MFA on a yearly basis.

Any revenue entered in Article 5 5 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional
appropriations in accordance with Article 21(3)(a) of the Financial Regulation.

_Remarks_

National (and regional) Promotional Banks (NPB), together with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European
Investment Fund (EIF) are considered important actors to finance long-term projects at European level. The Commission
communication of 27 March 2014 on long-term financing of the European economy — a follow-up to a Green Paper
— confirmed that during consultations ‘calls were made for more joint Union-national or multinational initiatives to
promote cooperation and synergies between the Union budget and the EIB/EIF, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs)
and NPBs’. In that communication, the Commission undertook to ‘encourage and monitor the cooperation of NPBs, as
requested by the June 2013 European Council and to report to the December 2014 Council’.

In this context, it is important to enable the Commission to develop a pilot project to create, through visible support
from the Union budget, a structured network of national and regional promotional banks based in the Member States,
in order to enhance their cooperation and to achieve the objective of long-term financing of the real economy and thus
support long-term growth, well-being and employment in Europe. Such cooperation will foster the exchange of best
practices and help to develop innovative systems to channel private capital towards SMEs and towards project of public
interest, such as investments in material and immaterial infrastructure, particularly in the regions hardest hit by
recession and unemployment.

To this end, the project will include the following activities:

— promoting the exchange of information and best practices among participants and between participants and
European Institutions, through meetings, seminars and publications,

— initiating research programmes and holding conferences for the participants,

— developing initiatives to promote the concept of long-term investment within the economic and financial sector,

— promoting the removal of obstacles and the development of incentives to favour long-term investing.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises, in particular that of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs), and to encourage entrepreneurship and foster the creation and growth of SMEs.

The implemented measures will include:

— networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

— market replication projects,

**CHAPTER 02 02 — COMPETITIVENESS OF ENTERPRISES AND SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (COSME)** _(cont'd)_

_**02 02 01**_ _(cont'd)_

— policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

— studies on gender-related discrimination linked to female entrepreneurship and implementation of policies to foster
female entrepreneurship,

— information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

— support to joint actions of Member States or regions, as well as other measures under the COSME programme.

The Union will provide support to activities such as the Enterprise Europe Network and entrepreneurship promotion. It
will also support projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of techniques, practices or
products (e.g. new business concepts for consumer goods) of Union relevance that have already been technically
demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. Those projects
will be designed to promote wider use within the participating countries and facilitate market uptake.

Projects will also seek to improve the framework conditions including through capacity building in clusters and other
business networks notably with regard to support SME internationalisation in order to ensure that Union enterprises
are competitive and sustainable, including in the tourism sector, by supporting coherence and consistency in
implementation, as well as informed policy-making at Union level. In addition, projects will be put in place to
support the implementation of the Small Business Act for Europe. Support actions, directly linked to the achievement of
these objectives are also considered for funding: meetings, studies, information and publications, participation in study
groups, conferences, workshops.

In relation to gender equality, projects to promote the position of female entrepreneurs will receive particular attention
in order to help overcome gender-based hurdles women may face and to attain an equal representation of male and
female entrepreneurs throughout the EU.

Sustainable tourism activities will receive a special focus with initial priority given to soft mobility, cycling networks,
eco-tourism and nature protection. Accessibility for all, particularly for people with reduced mobility and for socially
disadvantaged people is also of high importance in this context.

The Union will coordinate, promote and support actions for sustainable tourism, such as:

— preservation of long-term sustainable tourism resources through protection of natural, cultural, historical and
industrial heritage,

**CHAPTER 02 02 — COMPETITIVENESS OF ENTERPRISES AND SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (COSME)** _(cont'd)_

— coordination and support for access to sustainable tourism information and services for less-advantaged citizens
living in poverty, as well as for persons with reduced mobility,

— cross-border coordination of European cycling networks, together with rail and long-distance bus information and
services.

The Erasmus for Entrepreneurs programme aims to encourage European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge
and best practices, and the creation of valuable networks and partnerships.

Due to the currently difficult economic situation it is indispensable to support European enterprises, in particular young
innovative start-ups and female entrepreneurs, and to foster entrepreneurship by assigning enough funds to
programmes like the programme for the competitiveness of enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises
(COSME). In particular the programme ‘Erasmus for young entrepreneurs’ has been very successful, efficient and
effective in contributing successfully to fighting unemployment and supporting robust start-ups across Europe. With
regard to under-representation of women among entrepreneurs, special attention should be paid to involving young
female entrepreneurs in the programme in order to encourage them to pursue their entrepreneurial career and to gain
experience in how to overcome gender-specific hurdles they may face.

The financial means for the ‘Erasmus for young Entrepreneurs’ programme must be increased in particular due to the
following reasons:

— the programme helps fostering European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best-practices as well as
the creation of valuable networks and partnerships,

— the programme is very successful and has shown an increasing number of participants over the last years which is
expected to increase further,

— the programme effectively tackles the problem of youth unemployment as it helps young people without work to
become self-employed and existing SME to create jobs by expanding and/or internationalising their business,

— the number of applications exceeds by far the possibilities the Commission can fulfil with the financial means
currently available.

Part of this appropriation, within the 2016 COSME action ‘Migrant Entrepreneurs Labs’ will be allocated to national
business support systems for migrant entrepreneurs and their informal networks. This should be done through
information and networking events/platforms organised by mainstream business support organisations and targeted at
migrant entrepreneurs. The aim will be to better inform migrant entrepreneurs about the support systems in the host
country, connect informal and mainstream networks and draw attention to the migrant entrepreneurs’ specific needs
and problems.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is to be used to improve access to finance SMEs, including companies of female entrepreneurs in the
form of equity and debt in their start-up, growth and transfer phase.

A loan guarantee facility (LGF) shall provide counter-guarantees, direct guarantees and other risk sharing arrangements
for debt financing which shall reduce the particular difficulties that viable SMEs face in accessing finance either due to
their perceived higher risk or their lack of sufficient available collateral and for securitisation of SME debt finance
portfolios.

An equity facility for growth (EFG) shall allow investments in risk capital funds which invest in SMEs in the expansion
and growth stage, whilst taking a gender-sensitive and non-discriminatory approach, and in particular in those
operating cross-borders. The possibility shall exist to invest in early stage funds in conjunction with the equity facility
for RDI under Horizon 2020. In cases of joint investments in multi-stage funds, investments will be provided on a prorata basis from the EFG of COSME and the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. Support from the EFG shall be
(a) either directly by the European Investment Fund (EIF) or other entities entrusted with the implementation on behalf
of the Commission or (b) by funds-of-funds or investment vehicles investing across borders.

SMEs in Europe are faced with the challenge of ageing entrepreneurs whose businesses could disappear if no successor is
found. Given the number of bankruptcies or business failures where at least part of the business was profitable, the
potential for saving activities and jobs is considerable. When a business closes down, jobs are lost, as are know-how,
products and the services the business provided, and the indirect jobs among suppliers and local service providers. SMEs
in particular find it difficult to prepare for business transfer because of a lack of time, money and know-how. A failure
to prepare for business transfer leads to difficulties in finding successors and funds, as well as in reorganising the
business.

The purpose of the project is to develop and implement concrete actions to help bring about successful business
transfers with employee involvement. The overall objective is to facilitate the transfer of ‘healthy’ businesses to
employees and employee buy-outs of failed or bankrupt businesses, using the cooperative model in both cases.
Experience on the ground has demonstrated that the cooperative model is the one most often chosen by employees
during restructuring processes. This pilot project will help raise awareness among entrepreneurs, employees, trade
unions, business and trade associations, enterprise support service providers and public authorities of the added value of
this option for business transfers. Many failures could be avoided if transfers were planned well ahead and specialised
advice was sought. Working towards successful business transfers should thus be seen as an investment rather than a
cost. The project will also support activities to make business owners aware of the need for timely preparation.
Experience shows that the further in advance a transfer is prepared, the higher the chances are of its being a success.
Member States should actively promote and support mentoring schemes involving the transfer of knowledge and core
competencies essential to transfer businesses to employees as cooperatives. The main target groups for the pilot
activities are SME entrepreneurs and employees.

Europe is not fully exploiting its entrepreneurial potential and lags behind in start-ups and self-employment. Women in
particular are reluctant to create their own businesses. The Union has recognised that female entrepreneurship must be
promoted and supported in order to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness.

One of the main obstacles for women in general is their lack of access to finance. Studies show that for female
entrepreneurs it is significantly more difficult to obtain loan financing by comparison with their male partners. At the
same time they also lack access to relevant technical, scientific and general business networks. Those networks are in
many ways essential for creating and expanding a business, in particular for finding investors, business partners and
mentors.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under this pilot
project.

Europe should benefit from world-bridging tourism because of the increasing share of GDP accounted for by the
tourism sector. It could bring significant economic growth, including the creation of sustainable employment. Europe
should be prepared for the difficulties and challenges posed by the arrival of more visitors from countries with different
cultural customs, such as China. Europe should become the lead economy within world tourism competition.

Over the last few decades, tourism has become one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world.
International tourist arrivals rose from 278 million in 1980 to 1 035 million in 2012 and are expected to grow by
3,3% a year on average by 2030. Europe remains the world’s number one tourist destination, accounting for half of all
international tourist arrivals worldwide — with three quarters of those in the Member States. However, its position is
being challenged by new tourist destinations in emerging economies.

Tourists from emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, China and India have increased in number over the past few
years. Statistics show that 1 026 000 visas were issued in 2011 to Chinese tourists, compared with 560 000 in 2008.
In 2011, foreign visitor spending amounted to over EUR 330 billion and, according to recent estimates, could increase
to around EUR 430 billion in 2022. The ‘Europe – Whenever you’re ready’ campaign, highlighting Europe’s diverse
cultural and natural heritage and targeting potential tourists, in particular from Brazil, India and China, was introduced
in 2012. This programme has been very successful and has achieved extremely positive results thanks to the
development and implementation of a common visa policy. Visa facilitation has increased international tourist arrivals
from relevant markets by between 5 and 25 %. But visas are not the only issue, as all foreign visitors have different
needs and expectations.

Among the emerging economies referred to above, the focus should be on China, which is the fastest-growing tourism
source market in the world. According to the World Tourism Organisation’s report on the Chinese Outbound Travel
Market (2013), Chinese tourists’ propensity to travel abroad is expected to continue rising in the coming decades.
Furthermore, beyond Asia and the Pacific, Europe is the largest destination region for Chinese travellers. As Europe has a
prominent place on the Chinese ‘wish list’, it is necessary to think about how Member States could better host Chinese
tourists. What is needed is mutual understanding and continuous and sustainable training of tourism sector employees
all over Europe.

Furthermore, Europe should be prepared for the challenges posed by the arrival of many Chinese tourists, including
public security, laws on foreign nationals, and the possibility of racist and xenophobic attitudes stemming from cultural
differences between our societies.

This pilot project has the following main objectives:

— facilitating the development of networks and exchanges of best practices between public decision-makers and
representatives of the tourism industry,

— promoting opportunities to create new and sustainable jobs in the service sector across Europe,

— establishing professional and structural dialogue among the EU institutions,

— identifying best practices concerning the profile of the Chinese traveller (how to host them better) and promoting
them in the European tourism industry, including service providers (hotels, restaurants),

— improving dialogue and collaboration between Chinese and European tour operators and travel agencies,

— facilitating the development of specific training for staff (for example improving language skills and cultural
knowledge),

— raising public awareness through campaigns on multiculturalism in cooperation with Chinese cultural institutes
(Confucius Institutes),

— incentivising the tailoring of tourist products and services to the needs of Chinese tourists, including marketing
tools (websites and f lyers in Chinese) and their promotion on Chinese social networks (Weibo),

— enhancing cross-border cooperation to boost the image of Europe and the European identity — this project could
be linked to the preparatory action ‘Promotion of European and transnational tourism products with special
emphasis on cultural and industrial products’ — for example preparing a unique promotional video in Chinese
about the European Union.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under this pilot
project.

To face its main societal challenges, the EU has set up the Horizon 2020 R & D investment programme for a
competitive and sustainable Europe; and to help the EU regions to follow a common healthy path, through smart
regional specialisation, the EU has introduced the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3)
initiative.

This pilot project will create closer links between Horizon 2020 and RIS3 in order to speed up R & D results
exploitation and regional economic convergence at the same time. Although both Horizon 2020 and RIS3 are very well
targeted programmes, a bridge between them which focused on social and economic convergence between EU regions
would help to foster their success.

The TREC pilot project will include a call for tenders directed at European technology centres and the related industrial
clusters, with the following conditions:

— clusters represented must have been selected in their regional RIS3 strategic plans,

— a common proposal must be presented by clusters from at least three Member States,

— a comprehensive economic picture of the clusters must be presented,

— there must be a readiness to share information and best practices.

Among the project candidates, at least three should be selected to receive financing for a project involving:

— complete benchmarking of the clusters,

— detecting bottlenecks and improvement opportunities,

— searching for available R & D results and drawing up an application plan,

— drawing up of an investment and training plan to meet the needs detected,

— making the necessary technology investments and implementing the training plans laid down,

— assessing and disseminating the results obtained.

Owing to the difficulties involved in estimating the necessary duration and investment levels, the pilot project will
consist of two phases, the first covering the first four activities listed above, the second covering implementation and
assessment and dissemination.

The first phase could last for up to one year and the necessary EU financing could be some EUR 500 000. The second
phase could last for up to three years and require up to EUR 4 000 000 and would be co-financed by the participating
companies and/or countries.

In terms of performance, the projects selected must demonstrate a cluster productivity increase of at least 10 % and a
spread of about +/- 3 % between clusters.

The final aim is to analyse the impact of specific industrial policies which can be carried out by the EU. The TREC pilot
project seeks to determine how an innovative entity can best apply existing innovation to improve exploitation of
R & D results and reduce unemployment, thus contributing to growth and more jobs in the EU.

_Remarks_

The preparatory action will have the following main objectives:

— diversifying European tourism offerings,

— lessening the impact of seasonality at European destinations,

— enhancing the profile of Europe as a single tourist destination.

The Unesco logo is world-famous; it is a guarantee of the special cultural relevance of a site, but it is also a hook for
attracting new tourism f lows. Cooperation with Unesco, a specialised UN organisation, could be essential for enhancing
international cooperation with the UN and developing a regional strategy for the promotion of European sites on the
Unesco list. A map of emblematic Unesco sites grouped by theme (e.g. mediaeval towns, underwater heritage, Greek/
Roman archaeological sites) or telling a story which pulls together their common strands will help to promote cultural
tourism in both domestic and long-haul markets. Different communication tools can be developed on the basis of a
European map of Unesco sites. This preparatory action will further explore the relationship between tourism and
culture.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will explore the implementation of a cloud-based integration and synergy platform for Europe's
manufacturers. An initial implementation will target inventory levels for critical and non-critical resources.

It is known that the pooling and dynamic redistribution of inventory for critical and non-critical manufacturing
resources can drastically reduce the working capital required by manufacturers and lower their costs. The pilot project
will investigate whether a transparent and intuitive cloud-based platform can build trust between manufacturers in
order for them to pool resources and create a sharing economy. The overall reduction of working capital and inventory
holding costs will free up resources that can be invested in an innovation funnel to make manufacturers more profitable
or support growth. The objective is to present a first viable sharing platform which will lead to better integration and
cooperation between manufacturers in Europe, thus driving economic growth.

_Remarks_

Today the European Union is being tested by a variety of structural changes affecting the whole economy; hence,
tourism cannot escape them.

One of the most pressing problems Europe is facing is the lack of jobs and opportunities for young people. In
November 2014, more than 5 million young people in Europe were unemployed. That means that one in four people
under the age of 25 is looking for a job.

The tourism sector has long been known for recruiting young people. Statistics show that in the European Union alone,
tourism provides more than 20 million jobs through more than two million companies. Furthermore, given its
inf luence on the economy, tourism has a great impact on growth and employment. These are precisely the areas that
require substantial strengthening in the EU after the economic crisis.

EU institutions and national governments can facilitate and support job creation, as has been seen with the deployment
of the Youth Initiative Guarantee. However, only private companies and actors can create jobs or training opportunities.
The tourism industry, which has many private actors (hotels, cafés, restaurants, etc.), has a unique role in helping to
resolve Europe's jobs crisis and contributing to its recovery.

For instance, an interesting paradox is that countries with the highest youth unemployment rates — Greece, Spain, Italy,
and Portugal — are among the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Thus, the tourism industry is very well
positioned to contribute proactively to the institutions' efforts to tackle the issue of youth unemployment.

The tourism industry also has to be involved in and take responsibility for addressing social problems, in this case youth
unemployment, by supporting the public sector's efforts to create opportunities for young people. In order to achieve
this goal, a special partnership on tourism (SPOT) should be established between European-level decision making and
representatives of the tourism sector.

Under SPOT, a new public-private partnership should be devised to facilitate the uptake of high quality jobs,
apprenticeships and traineeship positions in the tourism industry across the EU, with a particular focus on small and
medium-sized businesses.

This could involve all types of companies, supply chains, trade unions, education providers, European/national/regional
tourism associations, authorities and agencies, business organisations and youth associations.

This initiative could raise awareness of the importance of the tourism sector for the EU economy. It could also
incentivise EU decision-makers to recognise its potential and to develop a specific industrial policy in the future that
supports the further development and growth of the sector.

Moreover, such a partnership will harness the dynamism of European youth, so young people are not left without hope
or opportunity and can look with confidence to a brighter future by having the chance to enter the job market.

Last but not least, it is important to stress that this is also in the best interests of the tourism sector. If Europe is to
remain the world's number one tourist destination, the industry needs to prepare the next generation by building up a
high-quality, sustainable labour supply with advance ITC skills and experience in hosting tourists with different
expectations and priorities, especially from non-EU countries. This will enable more growth and keep the sector
attractive.

The pilot project has the following main objectives:

— to conduct research into the importance of the tourism industry for the European economy and its employment
levels (need to recognise it and raise public awareness),

— to boost, strengthen and develop the employability of young people by:

— pledging to create new positions for young people (jobs, apprenticeships and traineeship) in the tourism
industry,

— helping them to acquire skills, knowledge and competences,

— developing career pathways and facilitating the transition between school and employment (organising career
guidance, CV workshops and interview training in close coordination with educational institutions and youth
organisations).

_Remarks_

Europe is the world's number one tourism destination, with a 52 % market share. Furthermore, tourism is a major
socio-economic activity in the European Union, with a wide-ranging impact on economic growth, employment and
social development and can be a powerful tool in fighting economic decline and unemployment.

Nevertheless the tourism sector is facing a series of challenges that could be addressed by both tourism businesses and
public stakeholders. One of those challenges is increasing competition from emerging destinations.

That is why there is a need to promote Europe as a single tourist destination and strengthen its competitive image in
long-haul markets. An inclusive holistic approach therefore needs to be taken in order to establish a clear brand image.

This pilot project will develop a strategically coordinated series of actions to establish a long-term strategy for the
promotion of Destination Europe. EU destinations must have a specific approach for each market in order to include
the European brand in global packages using new communication tools.

In order to increase the number of tourists in the EU and maintain Europe's position as the world's number one tourist
destination, the Commission should encourage investment in tourist infrastructures and regional development and
increase efforts to market ‘Destination Europe Brand’ in cooperation with the Member States.

The pilot project has the following main objectives:

— introduce a clear brand image and ensure Europe's visibility in major third countries: for instance, organise four
large-scale industry round tables in Europe (London and/or Brussels), Asia, North America and Latin America,

— strengthen public-private partnerships: build on existing good relationships with trade bodies and cooperation with
major international stakeholders and organisations, such as the European Parliament, the Commission, the Chinese
National Tourism Administration (CNTA), the European Tourism Association (ETOA), the US Travel Association,
BRAZTOA, JATA, major companies’ CEOs, etc.,

— gather input and knowledge from the industry on a wide range of topics: devise a SWOT model of the European
tourism industry and define critical success factors:

_Strengths_ — which products are really driving bookings for Europe and what interesting trends are beginning to
emerge? _Weaknesses_ — which factors are limiting bookings of European vacations (consumer perception, safety
concerns, currency f luctuation, hotel and air capacity, price, visas, etc.)? _Opportunities_ — to strengthen or widen
Europe’s product offerings, in particular to support a stronger pan-European offer and awareness of lesser-known
destinations and cultural routes. _Threats_ — competitor analysis to gain insight into the value proposition that other
destinations have where Europe has an opportunity to directly compete for business. _Critical success factors_ — what do
Destination Europe’s brand and strategy need to do to achieve positive results for Europe in the coming years, and
what role can the industry play in ensuring that the brand is adopted and promoted, ensuring the strategy’s success?

— develop cooperative marketing tools and strategies:

— online and off line marketing campaigns to raise awareness of Destination Europe, built around stakeholder
round tables (cooperative marketing together with main private tourism companies),

— collaboration with main global media partners (CNN, BBC, Financial Times, etc.),

— participation in tourism fairs and in other major national and international events (youth festivals, sport events,
food fairs),

— raise political awareness of the importance of inbound tourism for the European economy and gain the support of
policy makers at all levels in order to overcome the disadvantages affecting the European tourism industry.

_Remarks_

Knowledge and skills are crucial not only for the personal welfare of each citizen, but also for sustainable development
and economic growth. It is therefore important to offer a perspective to people coming from countries in economic and
social crisis, especially young people, so that they have an opportunity to create added value not only for themselves,
but also for the general public.

It is therefore important to empower young migrants and refugees to gain access to knowledge and to develop skills
they are able to use and leverage on when going back to their home countries.

This way they are not only able to build a solid livelihood but may possibly become entrepreneurs, build up their own
businesses and create employment.

The core of this initiative will be targeted mentoring programmes from different organisations, such as civil protection
and community services, as well as companies (including local suppliers). Elements of a dual-training system would help
beneficiaries to identify the specific needs of organisations or companies on the ground.

The legal situation regarding the waiting period for taking up an economic activity differs considerably from Member
State to Member State. To make the pilot project a success, it will therefore also be necessary to conduct a review of the
current national legal frameworks and to identify best practices which could be promoted in order to speed up
procedures, so that young migrants can take advantage of the proposed programmes as soon as possible upon arrival.

_Remarks_

The aim of this pilot project is to finance start-ups in the sharing economy. It will help them develop their ideas,
covering at least a part of the initial costs and possibly providing a financial guarantee for the most ambitious and risky
proposals. Given the small scale and the lower cost of this type of initiative, even with a relatively limited allocation of
EU money, the project should be able to kick-start a good number of small companies that could eventually grow to
compete in the sector.

Specific objectives:

— identify which sectors are going to benefit from a sharing economy approach,

— define new legislative instruments to regulate the sharing economy, avoiding any weakening of its innovative
potential,

— conduct a specific census of the sharing economy in Europe, sharing best practices between Member States and
relevant business associations,

— offer financial support and economic guarantees to promising companies, even if their proposals are too risky to be
funded by regular banking institutions,

— define a sharing economy model in line with European values that is mindful of the rights of consumers and of the
workers involved.

Proposed actions:

— work with local companies and associations in order to create a European network of sharing-economy companies,

— establish scholarships and forms of financial support specifically for researchers and young entrepreneurs wishing to
focus their work on the sharing-economy-related fields.

_Remarks_

In the EU two groups currently affected by unemployment have huge potential: young people and graduates. These
groups could create jobs in the EU by working in cooperatives which they also own, but to do so they need guidance
and support in the form of labour market training.

Worker cooperatives are an economically feasible way to start up as an entrepreneur, and given the communality and
the shared opportunities and obligations involved, they are a low-risk way for participants to both work in and own
part of a company at the same time. Participants will establish new worker cooperatives, combining individuals' special
skills and knowledge to their shared benefit and advantage. Those cooperatives have a good chance of offering
sustainable jobs to their owners/employees, as they have a competitive advantage over most other kinds of companies
because of their low overheads. The pilot project is to be launched in three EU countries with the most experience in
this field.

The main objective is to help reduce youth unemployment by establishing best practice in this area for the whole of
Europe. The pilot project will involve:

— preliminary actions and set-up in the three countries (first year),

— development and delivery of training courses (first and second years),

— follow-up and setting up of cooperatives with target groups (second year),

— expert evaluation of legal business barriers (third year, if the pilot project continues as a preparatory action),

— evaluation of outcomes (third year, if the pilot project continues as a preparatory action), and

— outcome report, to include proposals for any follow-on operational activities (third year, if the pilot project
continues as a preparatory action).

— coordinating the various operations to prepare the standards and doing more to implement them (user guides,
demonstrations, etc.). While preparing the standards, possible gender-related specificities should be considered.

Union finance is to be used to frame and implement the standardisation operation in consultation with the main
participants: industry, workers’ representatives, consumers, when relevant including women’s organisations, small and
medium-sized enterprises, the national and European standardisation institutions, the public procurement agencies in
the Member States, all users and industrial policymakers at national and Union levels.

In support of interoperability, specific provisions about the use of ICT technical specifications in public procurement are
included in Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on

_Remarks_

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 Regulation (EU) No
1025/2012 the actions in the field of standardisation financed by specific programmes have been brought together in a
single legal act.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2), and
operational expenditure in connection with the work programme (Title 3).

The Agency must inform the European Parliament and the Council about transfers of appropriations between
operational and administrative expenditure.

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.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1271/2013
constitute assigned revenue (Article 21(3)(c) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the general
statement of revenue.

_Remarks_

_Former Article 12 02 02_

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 businesses 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 announced, as part of
the single market review, that it would endeavour to create a single web-based access point guiding citizens and
businesses to the right service. In October 2010 the Commission launched a new website, Your Europe, which provides
citizens and businesses with information, and refers 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 is to 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 encouraged to take appropriate measures to inform their citizens about the existence of the
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 is to inform the competent committee of the European Parliament about the concrete
measures which have been undertaken in this field.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

This appropriation is intended to fund stepped-up support measures for traditional retailing, with a view to revitalising
and modernising it. The pilot project will help to coordinate measures and channel funding from various sources in
order to address the sector’s problems more effectively.

The pilot project will involve:

(1) defining the features of the traditional trading sector and identifying the constraints and threats it currently faces;

(2) proposing solutions to encourage revitalisation and modernisation of the sector;

(3) identifying Union instruments and funding directly or indirectly usable by the sector;

(4) establishing the uses to which the instruments, actions, measures and funding available are being put by the sector;

(5) analysing the extent to which existing instruments meet the needs of the traditional retailing sector and, on the
basis of that analysis, proposing any adjustments that may be necessary;

(6) implementing the proposals referred to in point (2);

(7) analysing the results and assessing the feasibility of a possible future Union programme of support for traditional
retailing.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

People use smartphones and apps for everyday activities. Smartphone penetration is growing rapidly and, while society
benefits from the digital world, how we will make emergency calls in the future, using apps, is not so clear. Accurate and
reliable GNSS-based location data is being used for commercial and other purposes, but it is not accessible for
emergency services when citizens make an emergency call.

As a result, very many 112-related apps have been created and are available today, but with limited functionality and
accessibility. In the recent past, almost all European emergency services have been contacted by app developers who
have made proposals to develop 112 apps in order to establish a voice connection and send location data and other
data directly to 112 centres.

Unfortunately, these apps can only be used by citizens living in certain geographical areas and often do not work in the
same way if they are used outside the boundaries of a given Public Service Answering Points (PSAPs) area. It is therefore
common for apps developed in one region/country not to work in another region/country, making them redundant
outside their own regions/countries.

Therefore, there is currently no pan-EU common architecture for utilising 112 apps.

Vice-Presidents Kroes and Kallas decided to work jointly on this, stating in 2010 that they intended to ensure that every
European could access a 112 smartphone app in his or her own language. In recent years many 112 mobile apps had
been developed, but much more could be done in the field.

Clearly, both Vice-Presidents identified the need for a common approach to developing a pan-EU architecture for 112

apps.

This project seeks to ensure PSAP readiness by funding the creation of a common EU-wide architecture to make it
possible to send data, including GNSS location data and other vital information, using existing 112 apps to the most
appropriate PSAP. This will ensure market freedom, which will have direct societal benefits. A series of interoperability
and capability tests of both the apps and the platforms on which they run can be carried out at national and EU level.

The societal benefits will be for all citizens and will have a direct positive impact for citizens with disabilities.

The pilot project will be implemented in close collaboration with the relevant Commission stakeholders, who are
currently looking into the use of GNSS location data for 112 services, using EGNOS and Galileo. The technical
architecture designed as part of the project will strictly comply with the requirements of those stakeholders, ensure the
involvement of 112 PSAPs and prepare the way for additional data to be sent in a harmonised manner.

The project will:

— identify the main requirements of the emergency services (the demand side), in the medium term, building on
extensive research already conducted as well as carrying out further research,

— involve the design and implementation of a method for conducting interoperability tests on 112 apps and platforms
in a number of EU countries,

— involve readiness and compatibility tests on a number of PSAPs across the Member States participating in the pilot
project,

— benefit citizens, including those with disabilities or special needs, by creating the environment and infrastructure
required to allow apps technology and solution providers (the supply side) to send GNSS-based location and other
data to the most appropriate PSAP,

— build on the successful work completed as part of the REACH112 project, which identified the requirements for
ensuring that people with disabilities have greater access to 112 services, and the PEACE research project, which
examined IP-based emergency applications and services for next-generation networks,

— partner European data protection authorities, European technology providers, free software communities,
emergency services organisations, research and development laboratories, application developers, telecommunication network providers, Voice- Over-IP providers and other software providers to build on expertise in a
collaborative fashion,

— map the future of 112 apps in line with citizens’ and emergency services’ needs and requirements in order to deliver
on the vision for greater efficiencies and more impactful and effective services for our society.

At present, most 112 PSAPs in Europe are based on old analogue technologies and legacy-based networks. As a result,
PSAPs have a very limited capability to handle emergency communications other than voice and are significantly out of
step with the speed of modern communications systems. Citizens’ expectations are also significantly greater than
emergency services’ capabilities, and many citizens with disabilities are not receiving an equivalent service. The 2014
COCOM Report also highlighted the lack of accessibility for citizens with disabilities and of accurate, reliable and ontime caller location information.

Many Member States are struggling to understand the impact and reach of apps based services and, especially, how such
services access and interact with 112. European national authorities have limited exposure to apps-based services and
urgently need to test the boundaries in order to be able to regulate effectively and proportionately and protect the
consumer appropriately. Given the lack of cohesion and coordination with apps services and technologies, there is a
need for such services to be developed and tested so that there is a match between their capabilities and an appropriate
and effective standardisation and regulatory approach which includes assessment of privacy, data theft and surveillance
risks.

As a result, all stakeholders need to be provided with a neutral, non-discriminatory, innovative architecture to ensure
interoperability and to help design apps solutions that make for a more effective and efficient 112 service for the benefit
of European citizens and visitors.

— continuing the pilot project with the aim of funding or co-funding two defence-related research and development
activities in line with Articles 42(1) and 42(2) TEU:

— one high-risk, high-payoff research activity whose outcome could potentially reshape future operations. The
beneficiaries should be selected by means of a competition of ideas. The EDA will carry out the activity on behalf
of the Union. Member States, the Commission and the EEAS will keep a watching brief on the activity in an
advisory capacity. Third countries and organisations which have concluded an administrative arrangement with
the EDA may also be invited to monitor the activity,

— one research and development activity for certification against military and — if applicable — civilian
requirements. Member States and third countries and organisations which have concluded an administrative
arrangement with the EDA will be invited to contribute to the activity. The EDA will manage the activity on
behalf of the Union and the other contributing members,

technical support tasks. The funding of these tasks may be entered into the JRC’s indirect budget under Article 183(2)(c)
and (6) of the Financial Regulation.

In addition, in support of competiveness and growth, this appropriation may also fund data dissemination and the
incubation of new businesses by supporting more robust and innovative IT structures in Europe.

Copernicus 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 covers mainly the implementation of delegation agreements for the Copernicus
programme, pursuant to Article 58 of the Financial Regulation.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular
Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of
information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the
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 candidates 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 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.

_TITLE 02 — INTERNAL MARKET, INDUSTRY, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SMES_

**CHAPTER 02 06 — EUROPEAN EARTH OBSERVATION PROGRAMME** _(cont'd)_

_**02 06 02**_ _(cont'd)_

— contribute to the availability of the observation capacity necessary to enable the Copernicus services, in particular
through the operations of the ground segment of the space infrastructure,

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

The development of a European space infrastructure has a key role in enhancing competitiveness and innovation, and
requires consistent public intervention to sustain the industrial effort.

This appropriation will fund the development and construction of satellites, as well as their operation. The data and
information obtained through the space infrastructure is subject to the free, full and open data policy, which will
increase their availability and thereby boost the downstream market.

To supplement the data needed by users, this appropriation may also fund the acquisition of data from third parties and
the access to contributing mission from Member States, as well as the dedicated dissemination platform (core ground
segment) which will serve, in priority the operational services funded by Article 02 06 01.

The budget envelope will be managed either directly by the Commission services or indirectly via delegation agreements
with Union agencies and international organisations, or any entity eligible under Article 58 of the Financial Regulation.

When the Commission manages the budget directly, it may entrust the Joint Research Centre (JRC) with scientific and
technical support tasks. The funding of these tasks may be entered into the JRC’s indirect budget under Article 183(2)(c)

_Remarks_

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

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

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

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

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

specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the ESF.

Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of
the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled for programmes under the ESF
convergence objective in the 2007-2013 programming period. That objective is aimed at speeding up the convergence
of the least developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment.

This appropriation aims to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in
countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and

States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon economy and
social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions concerns those regions whose

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to provide additional support to measures against youth unemployment financed by the
ESF. It represents the specific allocation to the Youth Employment Initiative under the Investment for growth and jobs
goal in regions with a level of youth unemployment exceeding 25 % in 2012 or for Member States where the youth
unemployment rate has increased by more than 30 % in 2012, regions that have a youth unemployment rate of more
than 20 % in 2012 (‘eligible regions’). The additional EUR 3 000 000 000 allocated to this line for the 2014-2020
period is intended to provide match funding to ESF interventions in the eligible regions. This appropriation is intended
to finance the creation of decent jobs.

While promoting gender equality, special attention should be paid to the situation of young women who can face
gender-specific obstacles to get a good quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a
traineeship.

This appropriation is to be used, amongst others, to support the establishment of educational structures combining
non-formal education, language courses, democratic awareness and vocational training in the regions most affected by
youth unemployment, both by state-actors and non-governmental organisations.

The margins available below the multiannual financial framework (MFF) ceilings for commitment appropriations for
2014-2017 will constitute a global MFF margin for commitments, to be made available over and above the ceilings
established in the MFF for 2016-2020 for policy objectives related to growth and employment, in particular youth
employment, as established in Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the

_Remarks_

The general objective of the European Union Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) is to contribute
to the Europe 2020 strategy and the related headline targets for employment, education and poverty by providing
financial support for the Union’s objectives.

The EaSI is structured around three complementarity axes: Progress, EURES and Microfinance and Social Entrepreneurship.

To achieve the general objectives of EaSI in particular to promote workers’ geographical mobility and boost
employment opportunities by developing Union labour markets that are open and accessible to all, the specific
objectives of the EURES axis are to:

— ensure that job vacancies and applications, and any related information as well as working conditions and rights are
transparent for the potential applicants and the employers; this shall be achieved through their exchange and
dissemination at transnational, interregional and cross-border level using standard interoperability forms,

— help ensure that European-level job vacancies and mobility options are advertised in parallel to national job
vacancies and applications and not only after local or national options are exhausted,

— develop services for the recruitment and placing of workers in employment through the clearance of job vacancies
and applications at European level; this shall cover all phases of placement, ranging from pre-recruitment
preparation to post-placement assistance, including language skill development options, with a view to the
applicant’s successful integration into the labour market; such services shall include targeted mobility schemes to
fill job vacancies where labour market shortcomings have been identified and/or help particular groups of workers
such as young people,

— provide assistance for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners,

— initial and further training of EURES advisers in the Member States,

— contacts between EURES advisers and cooperation between government employment services, including those of
candidate countries,

— promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,

— development of special structures for cooperation and services in border regions pursuant to point (b) of Article
17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68,

— measures to help remove mobility obstacles, particularly in the field of work-related social security.

This programme should 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, as already begun under the preparatory action ‘Your first
EURES job’ and complemented by the Youth Employment Initiative. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), 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 SMEs, to assist with reducing the costs of international hiring that
affect mostly smaller companies.

Eligible jobs under this part of the programme 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 6 months.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will investigate the benefits of introducing and – if appropriate – making available a forgery-proof
European electronic document containing individuals’ social security details, on which could be stored all the data
needed to verify the bearer’s employment status, such as details on his or her social security status and working hours,
and which would be subject to strict data-protection rules, particularly where privacy-sensitive personal data is
processed. This card should not only be an information tool for workers, but also and primarily a tool for labour
inspectorates to help them uncover abuses and ensure the enforcement of social and labour legislation in the Union.
The Commission should report back to European Parliament on a regular basis about the development of this pilot
project.

The measures covered will include:

— a report on best practices in Member States which have already implemented similar systems,

— devising a preparatory action, based on the report, to help introduce this document in specific sectors/countries,

— an impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis of the production of such an electronic document,

— a comparative analysis of the social security systems in the EU-28 which can serve as a basis for building knowledge
about the significant variations between Member States with regard to economic structures, size and composition of
social systems.

This pilot project could also cover the design of an EU-model electronic card providing relevant information for
verifying the bearer’s employment status, such as details of his or her social security status and working hours.

_Objective_

This preparatory action will contribute to the welfare and full social and economic integration of migrants in Europe
(both European nationals and third country nationals), especially those in extremely difficult social and economic
situations (unemployment, habitual exclusion, health problems, addictions and other forms of marginalisation) through
development and testing of pilot integration centres in member states with different welfare systems and labour market
configurations. Those centres will form part of the European Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion and will
strengthen migrants’ skills and capacities and empower them to participate fully in employment and social life by
providing an integrated package of activities and services.

_Actions/measures to be funded_

The measures covered will include:

— creation of pilot social integration centres, which will:

— be established in urban and rural areas with severe integration problems in selected Member States, in
partnership with local social, public and economic stakeholders,

— run workshops and full-time vocational training schemes, job coaching schemes and apprenticeships that meet
local community needs in areas such as care services, green area upkeep services, professional cleaning services
and building construction services,

— serve as one-stop-shops for marginalised migrants looking for assistance with all legal and community-related
issues (social assistance, job advice, financial incentives),

— create favourable environments and local partnerships for the development of social entrepreneurship.

The pilot centres will assist with trial arrangements for the future creation of local centres for social and economic
integration in all Members States as part of the European Platform against Poverty and Social Exclusion. The aim of
local centres will be twofold: (1) to activate and empower migrants in order to improve their chances of re-entry into
the mainstream economy and full integration in the host communities and society; (2) to assist local authorities, social
partners and civil society organisations in removing barriers, supporting mobility and fostering social and economic
inclusion of marginalised migrants.

_Remarks_

Despite public perceptions, labour mobility is low in the Union. High unemployment and low labour mobility within
and between countries coexist with skill and labour shortages in some countries and regions. Well-performing labour
markets are important for facilitating adjustment to shocks, allocating resources to best effect and dealing with potential
ageing-related labour market shortages. Mobility within the Union can, in principle, help to remedy labour market
shortages and imbalances. The over-35 age group also faces higher mobility barriers, and it is therefore important to
put financial and/or other support specifically designed for this group to the test.

Reactivate is a mobility programme for adult traineeships and work trials lasting between 6 and 12 months in other
Member States. It is targeted at unemployed citizens in the 35+ age group, including the long-term unemployed (LTU).
This age group generally represents a population segment with strong skills based on work experience, whence the need
for this programme.

In the light of the number of LTUs, Reactivate will test support tailor-made for them. In order to encourage employers
to make job offers to unemployed persons from other Member States, Reactivate will test ways of engaging with
employers and forms of financial and/or other support for employers.

Reactivate is intended as an extension of the successful EURES First Job programme, offering similar advantages for
unemployed persons, in particular LTUs, over the age of 35. This project can build on EURES First Job as a sound
mobility platform.

Reactivate will give unemployed persons, including LTUs, in this age group an unprecedented opportunity to acquire
diversified knowledge and skills, to learn new languages, and to better understand the European internal market. All
these advantages greatly militate in favour of a stronger European identity and diversity while increasing labour mobility
and the employment rate.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the EGF so as to enable the Union to demonstrate solidarity towards, and to
support workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural
changes in world patterns due to globalisation, as a result of the continuation of the global financial and economic crisis
addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 amending
[Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (OJ L 167, 29.6.2009,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2009&mm=06&jj=29&type=L&nnn=167&pppp=0026&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

reintegration into sustainable employment.

The actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund and there must be
no double funding from these instruments. EGF-supported actions or measures should aim to ensure that the largest
possible number of beneficiaries participating in these actions find sustainable employment as soon as possible before
the final report is due.

The rules for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the EGF are laid down in point 13 of the

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the EGF so as to enable the Union to provide time-limited 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. It is applicable to all applications
submitted up to 31 December 2013. For applications submitted between 1 May 2009 and 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 actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund. There must be no
double funding from these instruments.

Article 80 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach
of applicable law.

Articles 56 and 57 of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for
specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD).

Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of
revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Article 177 of the Financial Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of pre-financing
payments in respect of a given operation.

Article 44 of Regulation (EU) No 223/2014 provides for specific rules on repayment of pre-financing applicable to the
FEAD.

Pre-financing amounts repaid shall constitute internal assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(4) of the Financial
Regulation and shall be entered in Item 6 1 5 0 or 6 1 5 7.

Article 19 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 lays down the conditions for the revision of the multiannual

_Remarks_

The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) replaces the European Union’s Food Distribution Programme
for the Most Deprived Persons of the Community, which was discontinued at the end of 2013.

To ensure continuity between the two programmes, expenditure shall be eligible for a support from a FEAD operational
programme if it is incurred by a beneficiary and paid between 1 December 2013 and 31 December 2023.

FEAD shall promote social cohesion, enhance social inclusion and therefore ultimately contribute to the objective of
eradicating poverty in the Union by contributing to achieving the poverty reduction target of at least 20 million of the
number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion in accordance with the Europe 2020 strategy, whilst
complementing the Structural Funds. Since the proportion of women at risk of poverty or social exclusion is higher
than is the case for men, FEAD will take a gender-sensitive approach by adapting measures to the groups actually at risk,
including women and the elderly. It shall contribute to achieving the specific objective of alleviating and eradicating the
worst forms of poverty, by providing non-financial assistance to the most deprived persons by food and/or basic
material assistance, and social inclusion activities aiming at the social integration of the most deprived persons.

_Remarks_

This article does not include any fresh appropriations but is intended to accommodate the amounts that may be carried
over in accordance with Article 169(3) of the Financial Regulation for reimbursement of the reduction of direct
payments due to the application of financial discipline in the previous year. In accordance with Article 26(5) of
Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, Member States shall reimburse the final recipients who are subject, in the financial year
to which the appropriations are carried over, to the application of financial discipline in accordance with Article 26(1)

_Remarks_

The appropriations of this reserve article are intended to cover expenditure for measures needed to cope with major
crises affecting agricultural production or distribution.

The reserve is to be established by applying at the beginning of each year a reduction to direct payments (Chapter 05
03) with the financial discipline mechanisms in accordance with Articles 25 and 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013
as well as Article 8 of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013. When the Commission considers the reserve needs to be called
on, in accordance with the relevant legislative act, it shall present to the European Parliament and the Council a
proposal for a transfer from the reserve to the corresponding budget lines financing the measure deemed necessary. Any
Commission proposal for a transfer to draw on the reserve must be preceded by an examination of the scope for
reallocating appropriations. By the end of the financial year, any amount of the reserve not made available for crisis
measures shall be reimbursed proportionally as direct payments to the budget lines from which the reduction was
made. Any reimbursement will be done under Article 05 03 09 from appropriations carried over from the previous
financial year.

Transfers calling on the reserve and transfer back from the reserve to direct payments shall be made in accordance with
the Financial Regulation.

_Remarks_

Rural depopulation presents common challenges across the Union and is particularly acute in Central and Eastern
Europe. The smart eco-social village project will develop models for a number of different types of ‘smart village’ in the
Union, with a particular focus on the Visegrád group countries.

The project will create replicable, socially useful models, will act as an incentive by identifying successful practices, and
will provide support, using an ICT/online method.

The project will focus on developing growth and jobs in rural areas by:

— analysing common features of rural villages in the Union (with a particular focus on the Visegrád group countries):
infrastructure, various resources, services, access to markets, Digital Single Market opportunities, urban-rural links,
links to the bioeconomy and the circular economy (innovation, precision farming, environmental management,
local renewable energies, supply chain, services, local food), opportunities for improving quality of life and

_Remarks_

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 establishing a common organisation of the market in agricultural products provides
horizontal and sectoral crisis prevention and management measures in agriculture.

However, the regulation does not define or specify what is meant by ‘crisis situation’. It is therefore essential to set up a
typology of crisis situations.

The pilot project will establish a list of parameters to clarify and simplify implementation of crisis prevention and
management measures in agriculture.

It could also assess the feasibility of setting up ‘market watchers/observatories’ whose role would be to provide a basis
for coping better with crisis situations and market volatility by providing early warning of the need to take counter
measures.

The main objective is to clarify the criteria for the activation of the instruments available to European farmers to cope
with exposure to both natural disasters and market f luctuations, which have gradually become more common over the
last few years.

Europe must give itself the wherewithal to manage crises in the agricultural sector more effectively.

_Remarks_

The disappearance of bees has an impact throughout the Union, causing a fall-off in pollination and posing a threat to
biodiversity and public health. The Union must be able to tackle this problem by developing a genuine economic
strategy from production to consumption, focusing on the entire honey production chain.

This pilot project will combine the various Union strategies on innovation, social inclusion and job creation in order to
establish linkage between them and a reoriented common agricultural policy and to support the gearing of agriculture
more towards greater sustainability and practical research on breeding of a bee population that is resistant to Varroa in
particular.

Methodology:

— implementation of a series of complementary and integrated actions, i.e. genetic selection (particularly Varroa
resistance selection), breeding and conservation, training in apidology/sanitation (bee behaviour, veterinary and
sanitary techniques);

— support for local swarms and queen reproduction/breeding farms;

— cooperation with relevant scientists and scientific institutes, in order to obtain maximum synergy (including with
existing Union honey bee research programmes).

There is a great need for specific applied research, particularly on Varroa resistance selection, to save the honey bee, as
well as for funding practical arrangements to give volunteers access to the results of fundamental research from
apiology projects at Union-supported scientific institutes.

Know-how transfer and support for implementing this methodology and for relevant communication tools cannot be
funded under any existing programme. A first European Apidology Training Centre would provide a basis for looking
into the following issues: research, selection and conservation, repopulation and biodiversity.

Although the honeybee plays a very important role in agriculture, most beekeepers and breeders are volunteers. As
regards pollination and honey production, there are professional beekeepers and small companies managing larger
numbers of bee colonies. But these professionals often get their breeding material from breeding groups that are mainly
organised by volunteers.

As a result, the beekeeping community has almost no budget for the application of findings from research into breeding
Varroa-resistant bee lines through an Union-wide link-up between volunteers (beekeepers) and scientists. This pilot
project seeks to bridge this practical gap in the FP7 programme SmartBees and national apiculture programmes.

The measurable value of this action is expected to be EUR 7 billion for the 2016-2020 period, i.e.:

— creation of 10 million hives in the Union, representing a business volume of over EUR 2 billion;

— purchase of equipment needed to keep a hive and produce honey, representing, for hive manufacturers and sellers, a
business volume of more than EUR 3 billion;

— increase in honey production in the Union resulting from the creation of 10 million hives, replacing current annual
imports (50% of demand) from third countries and representing a business volume of more than EUR 2 billion

euros.

Stepping up pollination to the level required to sustain and expand agricultural production of the Union, with more and
better products, will mean not only increased agricultural production, but also fewer subsides paid to farmers to offset
productivity losses.

The creation of 30 000 jobs would in turn generate 30 000 associated jobs, making for a total of 60 000 jobs.

_Remarks_

This objective of ‘Creating an environment more conducive to private investment for transport infrastructure projects’
aims to implement the projects of common interest through financial instruments, based on an _ex ante_ assessment as
required by Article 224 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 of 29 October 2012 on the rules of
application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the financial

Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013, from 10 % to 20 % of the financial envelope for CEF transport will be available for
innovative financing instruments such as the Project Bonds Instrument, the Loan Guarantee Instrument and other
instruments such as joint ventures and the equity instruments to combine public and private financial resources to
accelerate infrastructure investments in Europe. The financial instruments are intended to facilitate access to private
financing and thus to accelerate or to make possible financing of the TEN-T projects eligible under the TEN-T guidelines
and Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013. The financial instruments are intended to be established as ‘debt’ or ‘equity’
frameworks and they should address specific market failures and provide appropriate financing solutions. They are
intended to be implemented as direct management by the entrusted entities, within the meaning of the Financial
Regulation or jointly with the entrusted entities. The entrusted entities must be accredited to provide guarantees to the
Commission on the protection of the Union financial interests in line with the requirements of the Financial Regulation.

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 140(6) of the Financial Regulation, including capital
repayments, guarantees released, and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in
Item 6 3 4 1 of the statement of revenues may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 21(3)(i) of the Financial Regulation.

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.

The implementation of Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November
[2010 concerning the rights of passengers when travelling by sea and inland waterway (OJ L 334, 17.12.2010, p. 1)](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=12&jj=17&type=L&nnn=334&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
requires specific implementation actions to ensure its correct application and enforcement in the Member States and the
compliance by Member States with their legal reporting obligations towards the Commission.

The implementation of Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February
[2011 concerning the rights of passengers in bus and coach travel (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 1) requires specific](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2011&mm=02&jj=28&type=L&nnn=055&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
implementation actions in order to ensure its correct application and enforcement in the Member States and the
compliance by Member States with their legal reporting obligations towards the Commission.

As an important implementation support measure the Commission conducts targeted actions covering some or all
Member States to raise public awareness on passenger rights. Nearly one third of Union citizens are aware of their rights
and obligations when buying a ticket to travel (31 %), although 59 % are said to be unaware of them (Eurobarometer on
passenger rights 2014).

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.

_TITLE 06 — MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT_

**CHAPTER 06 02 — EUROPEAN TRANSPORT POLICY** _(cont'd)_

_**06 02 05**_ _(cont'd)_

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. Union consumers 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.

_Road safety_

The Commission communication of 20 July 2010 entitled ‘Towards a European road safety area: policy orientations on
road safety 2011-2020’ (COM(2010) 389 final) presents seven objectives: road user education, enforcement of traffic
rules, safe infrastructure, safe vehicles, use of modern technology, post-injury emergency responses and a special focus
on vulnerable road users. Work continues on the Commission’s proposal, on the new Union driving licences, and on
the revision of the rules on qualification and training for professional drivers, on the follow-up to the Directives 2014/
45/EU, 2014/46/EU and 2014/47/EU, and the work towards a strategy on serious road traffic injuries. The Commission’s road safety work also includes the management of the European Road Safety Charter, the management of rules
relating to dangerous goods, the maintenance of a European database on road accidents (CARE), the follow-up on the
infrastructure management and tunnel safety directives and on various aspects of vulnerable road user safety. The
implementation of the policy orientations 2011-2020 would also require specific implementation action for the
exchange of good practices, road safety campaigns, calls for proposals and development of the road safety observatory;
as well as the evaluations of options for making the road safety in the Union work more effectively and efficiently in the
future.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on communication activities and on public events such as the
annual European Road Safety Day and similar awareness-raising and citizen interaction initiatives.

It is also intended to establish efficient cross-border cooperation between Member States concerning the enforcement of
road safety related traffic offences.

_Land transport_

The main activities in the land transport area concern the implementation and review of existing policies and the
planning of new initiatives. Among others, this includes activities in areas such as road charging, market access, social
rules (including their enforcement), technical rules and international aspects (land transport relations with third
countries and international organisations dealing with land transport issues).

_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 f low delays and environmental performance, and hence of air transport in Europe.

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.

_**06 02 05**_ _(cont'd)_

_Aviation safety and environment_

The uses of several legislative tools are important to ensure the safety of European Aviation and to ensure the
achievement of an environmentally sustainable growth.

According to Articles 3 to 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission may impose total bans or partial
restrictions on air carriers from third countries coming to the Union. In that context and in accordance with Article
3(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2006, the Commission, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and
experts from the Member States may carry out assessment missions to conduct on-the-spot checks and to identify safety
deficiencies of the air carriers and the authorities responsible for their oversight. The cost of on-site assessment visits for
national experts is either reimbursed by the Union or comes out of their own budget.

There is a clear need to complement these missions with more positive and preventive actions as well as with _ex post_
technical cooperation to assist the countries concerned by the ban or restrictions to correct the deficiencies. In addition,
the Commission and EASA have as their objective the promotion of the highest standards of aviation safety across the
world.

In this context, the large-scale Union projects in the area of civil aviation cooperation managed by other DirectoratesGeneral (ELARG and DEVCO), which can only be implemented on a long-term basis, do not provide an immediate
answer to short-term needs.

The objective of this initiative is therefore to complement the existing instruments by establishing a f lexible tool to
implement ad hoc preventive and assistance (corrective) actions in favour of the national authorities responsible for the
oversight of air carriers affected by the Union ban within the Union. The actions envisaged are small-scale and shortterm activities.

Since the framework service contract concluded between EASA and MOVE in 2009 proved to be an effective and
efficient tool to carry out technical assistance, a new contract with EASA was concluded for the period 2013-2016.

In addition, Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 on the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents in civil
aviation provides for the establishment of a European Network of Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authorities
(Encasia). Encasia is required to develop actions in order to further improve the quality of investigations conducted by
safety investigation authorities and to enhance accident prevention in the Union. According to that Regulation, the
Commission is associated with Encasia’s work and provides Encasia with the necessary support.

Moreover, the Commission has been cooperating with Eurocontrol since 2003 under the Memorandum of Cooperation
related to support to the Single European Sky and other Union policies. The Commission adopted a new framework
agreement MOVE/E2/2012/FV/397-3 on 19 December 2012. The aim of this framework agreement is to assist the
Commission in preparing and implementing Union environmental policies in aviation. These policies cover noise and
emissions (CO 2 or NO x ), where ICAO is developing standards for aircraft, which are quasi-automatically transposed into
Union law by virtue of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. In addition, the implementation and assessment of
Union legislation requires the development of data and methods contributing to the overall European environmental
assessment capacity. This fiche does not cover new activities but activities which used to be financed under the general
envelope attributed to Eurocontrol.

_**06 02 05**_ _(cont'd)_

Finally, the Memorandum of Cooperation covers areas of aviation for which both the Commission and ICAO have
responsibilities (i.e. safety, environment, air traffic management and aviation security). This strengthened cooperation
will ensure the indispensable participation in and contribution to ICAO initiatives in several key aviation policy areas
which are being pursued at the global level. This includes the initiative to strengthen the safety of international aviation
on a worldwide basis, or arriving at measures with regard to the environmental impact of aviation which are acceptable
worldwide. It aims to ensure that European interests (including of an industrial nature, for example in the area of the
definition of worldwide technical standards) are better taken into consideration by ICAO. Through the agreement, ICAO
will also be brought to accept, support and enhance the increasingly important role which regional organisations play in
the current and future development of international aviation.

_Urban mobility_

The appropriation is intended to support the implementation of the 2013 ‘Urban mobility’ package. This package aims
to reinforce the support to European cities for tackling urban mobility challenges. To this end, the Commission will,
among other actions, promote studies, conferences, campaigning actions (such as the European Mobility Week), and the
establishment of platforms for the exchanges of information and best practices.

_Use of alternative fuels in transport_

The appropriation is intended to support the implementation of the strategy defined in the ‘Clean power for transport’
package (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and
Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ‘Clean power for transport: a European alternative fuels strategy’
(COM(2013) 17 final). The appropriation will also support the Commission with monitoring and assessing the
implementation of national policy frameworks to be submitted by the Member States to comply with Article 3 of
Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, as well as with the preparation of the
reports foreseen by Article 10 of that Directive. Activities in support of the decarbonisation strategy and alternative
fuels action plan to be adopted in 2017 will also be covered.

_Clean vehicles procurement_

Full transposition of Directive 2009/33/EC on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles was
completed in November 2013. The results of the first report on the application of the Directive were published on 18
April 2013. An external evaluation aimed at providing policy recommendations was undertaken. The appropriation is
intended to cover the reporting and review requirements established by Article 10 of Directive 2009/33/EC on the
promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles as well as other support actions (e.g. communication
activities).

_Legal basis_

_Remarks_

Although the Commission gathers and publishes a large volume of transport-related figures and relevant statistics,
general aviation has not been covered. This preparatory action will produce significant data on general aviation in
Europe, such as passenger kilometres, workforce, turnover and economic output. As the European Aviation Safety
Agency will continue to bring forward new regulations for this sector over the coming years, having a complete
database could provide added value for better regulation.

This preparatory action is in line with the European Parliament resolution of 3 February 2009 on an agenda for
[sustainable future in general and business aviation (OJ C 67 E, 18.3.2010, p. 5), which highlights ‘a lack of data and](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=03&jj=18&type=C&nnn=067E&pppp=0005&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
statistical information on general and business aviation’ (recital C) and calls on the Commission to ‘develop and
implement a systematic approach to the gathering and sharing of international and European data’ (paragraph 27).

The preparatory action also takes into account the Commission communication entitled ‘An agenda for sustainable
future in general and business aviation’ (COM(2007) 869 final), which calls for ‘development at the European level of
the basic set of objective and coherent data’.

The preparatory action will aim to collect the most important data on general aviation in Europe, including passenger
kilometres (available and f lown), number of f lights with a shorter distance than 500 km, workforce, turnover, economic
output, environmental effect (including data on climate-relevant emissions), direct and indirect impact on related
industries, safety issues, taxation (including number and percentage of tickets exempted from VAT and quantity and
percentage of the kerosene used that is exempted from taxation) as well as social and economic impacts. The
preparatory action will also aim to gather information on ground handling services for general aviation and the legal
(including social) framework for the provision of those services.

_Remarks_

The pilot project will involve a study assessing the scope for developing a GNSS monitoring system in Europe for heavy
commercial vehicles. The aim is to improve transport safety, traceability and compliance with rules and laws, and to
ensure fair competition. The study will assess the best ways of using a GNSS monitoring system to improve the
implementation of road transport legislation. Through real-time monitoring it will be possible to combat illegal
practices in transport sector and illegal trafficking of goods and waste more effectively and to carry out real-time checks
on all information regarding trucks and drivers.

On the basis of existing regulations and systems (digital tachographs monitoring working time and on-board weighing
systems monitoring compliance with permissible weights), the study will involve, in stages:

(1) defining objectives by reviewing the legislation to be monitored by the system (for instance tracking/tracing of
dangerous goods, cabotage rules), possible new upcoming legislation for HOVs (e.g. eCall, event data recorders),
taking particular account of the results of the study ‘Benefit and feasibility of a range of new technologies and
unregulated measures in the fields of vehicle occupant safety and protection of vulnerable road users’ published by
the Commission in March 2015;

(2) defining the functional requirements for the applications listed in point (1);

(3) establishing a system architecture incorporating digital tachographs, and providing the technical requirements for
all modules needed for the system;

(4) assessing the security mechanisms to avoid fraud and jamming;

(5) verifying the conditions for market introduction;

stakeholders on a steering group monitoring all project stages;

(7) assessing impacts for potential legislation with a view to making the system mandatory or ‘strongly recommended’.

Studies have already been carried out by the Commission on the technical aspects of such an integrated on-board
system (stages 1 and 3 above). This study will therefore focus essentially on the political aspects (stages 5 to 7) and go
further into the technical issues (stages 1 to 4).

_Remarks_

In order to be competitive the transport sector requires a highly skilled, competitive and well prepared and trained
workforce. In a number of areas there is today a clear need for specialised workers, as the labour market is not providing
enough incentives to fill some of the high specialised vacancies in this sector, while at the same time it is difficult to fill
some vacancies for low-skilled jobs. In the maritime sector more and more seaman jobs are disappearing and it has
become more and more difficult to attract EU workers to this sector, mostly because of the demanding working
standards and poor conditions. In aviation, more and more pilots and cabin crew are leaving the EU and an increasing
number are accepting working arrangements in the EU that fall well below the well-established standards in the sector.

Furthermore, there is an urgent need to prepare for the imminent replacement of workers retiring in the transport

sector.

Objectives:

— to prepare for this scenario and to provide the tools the Commission and the European Parliament and the Council
require in order to identify urgent actions to avert an adverse impact on the labour market in this sector,

— to make transport professions more attractive, identify training and lifelong learning needs at Union level, costs and
barriers to taking up employment in the transport sector, and propose appropriate measures,

— to provide a comprehensive picture of the needs of the transport sector in terms of employment and training in the
coming years.

Proposed actions:

— to conduct a review of job profiles and educational and professional qualifications needed for the most in-demand
positions and identify the main universities, learning centres and establishments providing training for highly
specialised technical posts in this sector,

— to carry out a study to review the career development opportunities and career paths for new generations and
identify, together with relevant authorities and stakeholders, including social partners, incentives to attract Union
workers to the sector, and the scope for tying in with Union funding opportunities or support programmes such as
the European Youth Initiative,

— to develop a web portal for the future workforce identifying the main career openings and career development
opportunities and the relevant costs and including a job vacancy section. The platform will cover all transport
modes and all stakeholders. It will include a tool for pooling experience and best practices. It will also include
information about working conditions, career paths, etc. for each transport mode. Special attention will be paid to
apprenticeships. The primary target audience will be young people.

The web platform will also include:

— a module on ‘better enforcement’ listing guidance material (at national and Union level) and information about the
‘just culture’ and the ‘culture of compliance’,

— a special gender-balance module addressing the issue of the very low proportion of female workers in the transport
sector and paying special attention to urban transport,

— a special module on the work of social partners,

— a record, within the best practice pooling tool, of recent campaigns and details of their effectiveness,

— statistical support for labour market analysis in the sector, including comparative analyses with other regions and an
inventory of relevant studies and statistics (data available from Eurostat, the OECD, the European Institute for
Gender Equality and other sources), as well as works in the field of the digital economy.

The pilot project will identify available tools (including funding) and possible future cost-effective actions for promoting
transport jobs, including an assessment of possible effective incentives for good social practices in the transport sector
(e.g. a social charter or social awards).

_Remarks_

The preparatory action will support exchanges of good practices on city-port relations and innovative smart port city
projects. It could be coordinated with smart and sustainable cities actions.

Port cities are facing huge challenges in reconciling competition and sustainable urban development. Those challenges
include relocation of port functions, container transport, redevelopment of port-city interfaces and waterfronts and
dialogue with city inhabitants. Tensions between city and port, tourism and industry, natural and built-up areas need to
be addressed. Smart city and smart port city ambitions should be complementary. A knowledge- and ICT-based smart
port city could work hand in hand with inland interfaces to further increase service efficiency and quality. Having regard
to the motorways of the sea concept, this is in line with the Europe 2020 strategy and the revised White Paper on
transport and the TEN-T.

Cities and ports are faced with the same problems and have the same opportunities, so there should be innovative
solutions for: (a) reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ocean shipping and also from port operations; (b) developing
the linkage with hinterland transport (rail, road, inland); (c) enhancing renewable energy use and improving energy
efficiency; (d) promoting ICT use and interoperability; (e) strengthening the competitiveness of port cities, bearing in
mind the strategic position of the outermost regions and the importance of connectivity between islands; and (f)
promoting synergies between city and port.

These innovative actions should also have an impact on maritime and coastal tourism. Actions should also focus on
port facilities and dialogue between port and city authorities for urban and port planning. Coastal and maritime
tourism also has a role to play in the diversification of ports. This preparatory action will identify the benefits of smart
port city development around Europe and take into consideration the full significance of ports. The action will also
include initiatives to create a European smart port city network.

06 02 77 11 Pilot project — Feasibility study to test the use of a public-private joint undertaking to support the deployment of the
European rail transport management system (ERTMS) throughout the core network corridors

_Remarks_

For many years the Union has been supporting through grants the deployment of the ERTMS on railway lines and on
board rail vehicles in order to increase interoperability within the single European rail area and maximise train operating
safety. According to preliminary assessments, the ERTMS may also be able to increase capacity on existing rail lines. The
EU ERTMS Coordinator presented in December 2014 an ERTMS work plan highlighting the current deployment of the
ERTMS on rail networks and future needs. It is clear from that report that completion of the deployment of the ERTMS
along the core network corridors will take more than 50 years and require substantial financial resources beyond the
capacity of Union and Member States’ budgets. The current Union policy of supporting the ERTMS through grants from
the EU budget has proved limited in effectiveness and in scope. Involvement of private-sector financing is a useful
option.

Taking stock of the limits of the current financing scheme, the Commission has commissioned a study to develop tailormade solutions for using innovative financing to support deployment of the ERTMS, in particular along nine core
network corridors. This study is looking at various options for the involvement of the private sector and will be
completed in 2015, but in order to test the business case for involving innovative financing to support the ERTMS, a
European pilot project is needed as a follow-up to that study. In view of the preliminary analysis and the limited
experience of the Commission and the EIB with private sector involvement in the deployment of the ERTMS, this pilot
project will assess the feasibility of setting up a public-private joint undertaking to support the deployment of the
ERTMS throughout the core network corridors, or at least along one corridor, using Union or EIB frameworks. The
pilot project will assess the current regulatory, legal and financial feasibility of setting up such joint undertakings at
corridor level, thus covering all Member States crossed by core network corridors. Moreover, the pilot project will assess
the interest of private investors in particular for such a joint undertaking with Union backing, as well as the interest of
ERTMS manufacturers, infrastructure managers and railway undertakings. Furthermore, this pilot project or a
subsequent preparatory action could support the setting up of a joint undertaking responsible for supporting ERTMS
deployment along one of the core network corridors. Should this prove successful, a new Union programme covering
all corridors could be set up. The purpose of deploying along one corridor is to test the business case for a publicprivate joint undertaking which, while acting as a special-purpose vehicle, provides funding for infrastructure managers
along the selected corridor to finance ERTMS deployment. Once deployment has been fully or mostly completed,
railway undertakings will benefit from full interoperability along the corridor and could be charged a mark-up on their
track access charges so as to repay the joint undertaking and its private shareholders. Railway undertakings are expected
to pay the mark-up, since the commercial offer of faster transport for passengers and freight shippers could increase
market appetite for rail services along the corridor. Rail services are expected to be faster and easier thanks to the full
interoperability provided by the ERTMS.

_Remarks_

This preparatory action will demonstrate an AGS for RPAS (drones) f lying below 150 metres (500 feet) above ground
level. It will be set up by connecting the drone-controlling remote pilot station on the ground to a web-based platform.
The web-based platform will display the position of the RPAS operation and will validate compliance with different
national legislation, depending on the location of the operation. The platform can generate no-f ly zones on the basis of
aviation standards.

By connecting the web-based platform to the RPAS, users will not be able to operate RPAS in no-f ly zones. No-f ly
zones can be generated, monitored and controlled by the authorities responsible. The information generated by the
web-based platform can also be shared with all stakeholders in the European aviation network.

This action can provide a solution for the safe and secure integration of small drones into the existing aviation network,
guaranteeing a level of safety equivalent to that in manned aviation and resulting in a win-win situation for all RPAS
stakeholders. Privacy can be guaranteed by using no-f ly zones for RPAS operations; and, more importantly, SMEs in the
RPAS industries will be helped to create promising new job opportunities in Europe. The following RPAS services can
be demonstrated by using a web-based platform: an AGS monitored and controlled by the authorities responsible, and a
validation service checking the regulations applicable.

This platform could be accessible to various stakeholders, such as RPAS users, air navigation service providers, civil
aviation authorities, police and emergency services, RPAS manufacturers and qualified entities. It will use existing
aviation standards, be compliant with manned aviation rules and result in safer, more secure and standardised
integration into the aviation network. In addition to those standards, the platform must be interoperable with all
RPAS so as to open the European market for all RPAS manufacturers and all RPAS users. Finally, this RPAS air traffic
management platform should be scalable for all Member States.

_Remarks_

The pilot project will assess new ways of sustainably financing public transport that are compatible, in particular, with
eco-sustainability, digitisation and accessibility, in order to boost the economy and create new jobs. The Commission’s
objective is to encourage the use of public transport, thereby reducing congestion and environment- and healthharming emissions in urban areas, especially through alternative, cleaner fuels. Many studies show that ticket costs affect
a small part of the total cost of services. Customers pay a lot of money in terms of taxes and ticketing. It is necessary to
find new ways to finance public transport, evaluating new models that could significantly reduce or remove charges for
the public, save public money and reduce atmospheric emissions. In addition, improved urban mobility would help to
increase passenger numbers. More efficient mobility would also help businesses and would create more jobs. A good
example of this is Tallinn in Estonia. The aim of the project is to identify and exchange best practices, assess new
funding methods and look into the possibility of creating a European one-stop office to support municipalities that
wish to implement the best sustainable financing systems and projects.

_TITLE 06 — MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT_

**CHAPTER 06 03 — HORIZON 2020 — RESEARCH AND INNOVATION RELATED TO TRANSPORT** _(cont'd)_

_Remarks_

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

These appropriations are intended to be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and
innovation, which covers the 2014 to 2020 period, and for the completion of the previous research programmes
(seventh framework programme and preceding framework programmes).

Horizon 2020 will play a central role in the implementation of the Europe 2020 f lagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’
and other f lagship initiatives, notably ‘Resource-efficient Europe’, ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, and ‘A
digital agenda for Europe’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area. Horizon 2020
will contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging
sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding. The programme will be carried out in order to
pursue the general objectives described in Article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in order
to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European research area, i.e. supporting
transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of
European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for technology in
Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring
optimum use thereof.

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 are intended to be used in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for participation and dissemination in
‘Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC)
[No 1906/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2013&mm=12&jj=20&type=L&nnn=347&pppp=0081&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

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 chapter. 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 of the Union.

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
candidates 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.

**CHAPTER 06 03 — HORIZON 2020 — RESEARCH AND INNOVATION RELATED TO TRANSPORT** _(cont'd)_

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.

_**06 03 03**_ _**Societal challenges**_

_Remarks_

This priority of Horizon 2020 responds directly to the policy priorities and societal challenges identified in the Europe
2020 strategy. Those activities will be implemented using a challenge-based approach which brings together resources
and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines. The activities will cover the full cycle from research
to market, with a new focus on innovation-related activities such as piloting, demonstration, test beds, support for
public procurement, design, end-user driven innovation, social innovation and market take-up of innovations. The
activities will support directly the corresponding sectoral policy competences at Union level.

Funding will be focused on the following challenges:

— smart, green and integrated transport,

— innovation and research, particularly in the areas of behavioural change, modal shift, accessibility for all, integration
(interconnectivity, intermodality, interoperability) and sustainability (climate change, gas and noise emission
reduction), which are of crucial importance for the transport and tourism sectors.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover research and innovation actions that should substantially contribute to shifting
transport into a new era of smart mobility. Actions under this item should support the development and take-up of the
necessary solutions for all transport modes, drastically reducing transport emissions that are harmful to the
environment, lowering the dependence of transport on fossil fuels, and hence reducing transport impact on biodiversity
and preserve natural resources. This is expected to be achieved by investing in specific activities, particularly in the form
of large public-private partnerships, such as making aircraft, trains, vehicles and vessels cleaner and quieter, developing
smart equipment, infrastructure and services and improving transport and mobility in urban areas.

Research and innovation carried under this item is expected to make important contributions to optimise performance
and efficiency in the face of growing demands for mobility. Actions under this item will also focus on substantially
reducing traffic congestion, substantially improving the mobility of people and freight, developing and applying new
concepts of freight transport and logistics and reducing accident rates and fatal casualties and improving security.
Actions under this item are indeed intended to contribute to making Europe the safest region for aviation and to move
towards the target of zero fatalities in road transport by 2050.

06 03 03 01 _(cont'd)_

Research and innovation is expected to play a significant role in achieving global leadership for the European transport
industry and contributing to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, staying ahead in new technologies and reducing the costs of existing manufacturing processes, therefore contributing to economic growth and
highly skilled jobs in the European transport industry. In this context, actions to develop the next generation of
transport means and explore entirely new transport concepts are expected to be developed and covered by this
appropriation.

Socioeconomic research and forward-looking activities for policymaking will also be covered by this appropriation:
actions to support policy analysis and development including on socioeconomic aspects of transport are necessary to
promote innovation and meet the challenges raised by transport.

_Remarks_

This will be the second year of this pilot project, whose aim is to initiate public dialogue on environmental protection in
the context of the TTIP. Such dialogue should involve all stakeholders, including representatives of governments,
environmental experts, and civil society. It should focus on the principles of state regulation of legitimate public policy
objectives, helping to formulate a common approach to handling such policy objectives in the light of existing and
future investment protection schemes. Such a dialogue is essential in order to enhance public understanding of both the
need for state regulation in these areas and the need to ensure that all stakeholders are fairly treated and can expect
proportionate and predictable legislative action to be taken. Part of the appropriation should be spent on objective
SWOT analyses of the TTIP, on which basis public awareness of the real pros and cons could be increased.

The right (and duty) of a Member State and/or of the Union to regulate and implement public policy objectives in areas
such as social security, the environment, national security, public health and safety and promotion and protection of
cultural diversity is a crucial aspect of the social contract between citizens and any democratic government.

However, the exercise of this fundamental right must neither breach nor disregard the national and international
obligations of Member States and/or the Union towards foreign investors entering the Union internal market with
legitimate expectations such as non-discriminatory and equal treatment.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

This pilot project will contribute to further development of market-based instruments (MBI) in the field of
environmental policy by making civil society organisations better able to participate in Union policy-making on green
public procurement (GPP), the reduction of harmful subsidies and eco-taxation. Currently there is insufficient Unionlevel capacity in these fields and little coordination of reform efforts in Member States and at Union level. Greater
involvement of civil society experts in the design and implementation of public procurement policies, the reduction of
harmful subsidies and eco-taxation would improve the uptake of such policies in the Member States. Networking
between civil society and public authorities interested in GPP, the reduction of harmful subsidies and eco-taxation would
be a way of boosting Union civil society capacity and drawing on experience in Member States through the exchange of
best practices and greater participation in the Union decision-making process.

_Remarks_

Moving towards a circular economy is at the heart of the resource efficiency agenda established under the Europe 2020
strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The main ideas on how to do more with less are being taken
further in the Union’s Environment Action Programme to 2020. Resource efficiency and sustainability are crucial in
order to achieve the Europe 2020 strategy targets, as well as to improve the Union’s competitiveness and ensure energy
security. This transboundary, transnational pilot project will cover all Member States. It is fully in line with the
Commission communication entitled ‘Towards a circular economy: A zero waste programme for Europe’ (COM(2014)
398 final), as well as with the European Parliament resolution of 9 July 2015 on resource efficiency: moving towards a
circular economy (2014/2208(INI)).

This pilot project has the following main objectives:

— to identify, analyse and foster all best innovative practices and existing networks for green solutions, thus facilitating
knowledge transfer and exchanges of innovations in the circular economy,

— to develop capacity and innovation potential and provide in-depth analysis to empower researchers, industry,
communities and individuals to tap into new and innovative opportunities in the green circular economy, thus
meeting current and future societal challenges.

The project will last for 2 years and will focus on the following key activities:

— producing an analysis identifying all existing innovative practices and existing networks for solutions and setting up
a unified European Green Circular Economy Network encompassing all potentially existing networks so as to
facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange best practices and innovations, as well as more circular economic
models. The network can also provide a platform for joint problem solving and direct access to vital resources, such
as research, analytical tools, funding and technical expertise. It could serve as an e-learning facility for circular
economy capacity development,

— capacity building, development of innovation potential and awareness raising with the aim of sharing challenges,
opportunities and best innovative practices, organisation of at least two forums on the green circular economy per
year, as well as one kick-off conference and one closing conference in Brussels. Structured around a series of training
modules, the forums will encourage participants to actively ref lect on how innovative solutions for switching to the
circular economy can be adapted to their home countries. They will focus on sustainable consumption and more
efficient and profitable production, using fewer raw materials, with less pollution and waste in the process, and
more consumer needs fulfilled, with less energy, water or waste; better use of resources and less waste production of
waste, circular economy solutions and green standards, as well as circular economy investments in innovation and
research, and fiscal policy instruments,

— producing a study providing in-depth analysis and policy options for specific sectors, such as urban planning,
sustainable buildings, waste and water management, trade, food sector, fiscal policy, etc., and identifying case studies
that provide detailed information about innovative practices and approaches in promoting the green circular
economy in the regions. It should suggest actions such as public investment in key areas, market-based instruments,
and regulatory frameworks for Member States.

_Remarks_

Biodiversity loss is a major societal challenge. To preserve European biodiversity, the Union imposed the Council
[Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and f lora (OJ L 206,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1992&mm=07&jj=22&type=L&nnn=206&pppp=0007&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
[22.7.1992, p. 7) (‘Habitats Directive’), the cornerstone of Europe’s nature conservation policy. Annex IV to that directive](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1992&mm=07&jj=22&type=L&nnn=206&pppp=0007&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
lists 27 of 34 salamander species, which Member States are obliged to protect against factors threatening their survival.
Very recently, a novel fungal pathogen, _Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans_, emerged in Europe, where it is currently
causing massive declines in salamander populations across three Member States, threatening the survival of most
European salamander species. This pilot project will assist Member States in meeting their obligations under the
Habitats Directive. No opportunities are available under the Horizon 2020 programme to take such immediate action.

This pilot project will design sustainable mitigation measures to counteract the impact of the epidemic caused by the
fungus _Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans_, in both the short and long terms, in a joint effort by the most relevant
Member States (based on the current occurrence of the fungus and the most salamander-diverse countries, including but
not limited to Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece).

In the short term (first 2 years) the pilot project will determine the current distribution of the fungus in threatened
salamander populations across Europe. To prevent the spread of the fungus, the pilot project will also be used to
investigate different methods (protective value of barriers, dilution effect of temporary removal of part of the population
during an outbreak) in- and ex-situ in a multi-Member-State collaborative effort. In the long term (3 years), proof of
concepts for vaccination strategies (increasing the amphibians' resistance to the fungus) and bioaugmentation strategies
(steering the environment towards conditions that limit the fungus’ survival and impact on amphibians (e.g. Schmeller
_et al._ 2014)) will be developed.

_Remarks_

There are a number of national and regional initiatives to enhance green infrastructure (GI) in the light of the Union’s
Green Infrastructure Strategy (May 2013) and in recognition of the role GI plays in implementing the EU's 2020
Biodiversity Strategy that requires restoration of at least 15 % of degraded ecosystems. One of the most effective ways of
building urban GI is through urban planning, but planners require evidence-based assessment tools and best practices in
GI to aid their decision-making. This pilot project will develop protocols for the establishment of dedicated region/cityspecific GI assessment schemes to aid climate change mitigation in cities.

The aim of the project is therefore to develop protocols to promote the creation, management and governance of green
infrastructure. A secondary aim is to examine GI’s potential role as a catalyst for engagement in increasing urban
resilience in a number of contexts (within communities and organisations) in different urban socio-economic, climatic
and cultural settings.

_Remarks_

The Coordination of Information on the Environment (Corine) programme was set up by the Commission in 1991
with the principal aims of defining and protecting biotopes, combating environmental pollution, mapping the different
types of land cover and preserving the natural environment. The database resulting from the programme was
subsequently replaced by the European Union Nature Information System (EUNIS) database, which contains an
inventory of European habitats (natural, near-natural, artificial, terrestrial and aquatic) and serves as the basis for
Union nature legislation (Natura 2000).

However, that inventory does not include the species and habitats to be found in the French outermost regions
(Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Réunion and Mayotte), each of which has its own highly specific biological
and ecological features and a very large proportion of endemic species.

The purpose of this pilot project is to use the same tools as the Corine Biotope and EUNIS programmes to compile an
inventory of species and habitats and environmentally sensitive areas in these regions, which number among the world's
biodiversity hotspots. A new common database of this kind is necessary in order to identify any gaps in knowledge and
to take the action required in order to preserve the biotope of these regions, along the lines of that taken for the other
Union regions.

This approach, which has already demonstrated its feasibility and value in other Union regions, is a first step on the road
towards the adoption of legislation to preserve biodiversity in the French outermost regions. Advantage will be taken of
any possible synergies with the work carried out under the BEST preparatory action.

These remarks apply to all the budget lines in this title.

Research and innovation activities under this title will contribute to three main research programmes, i.e. Horizon
2020, Euratom and the programme for the ITER project. It will also cover research programmes of the research fund for
coal and steel.

It will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives set out in Article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of
the European Union, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research
Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and
the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for
technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively, and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe
and ensuring optimum use thereof.

Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science
and research.

_Remarks_

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

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which
covers the 2014-2020 period and brings together all existing Union research and innovation funding, including the
framework programme for research, the innovation related activities of the competitiveness and innovation framework
programme and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The programme shall play a central role in
the implementation of the Europe 2020 f lagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other f lagship initiatives, notably ‘A
digital agenda for Europe’ ‘Resource-efficient Europe’ and ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, as well as in the
development and functioning of the European Research Area (ERA). Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an
economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research,
development and innovation funding. The appropriation will be used also for the completion of the previous research
programmes (Seventh Framework Programme and preceding framework programmes).

This appropriation will be used in accordance with the Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for the participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020
— the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006
[(OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2013&mm=12&jj=20&type=L&nnn=347&pppp=0081&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

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 chapter. 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 candidates
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.

_**08 02 01**_ _**Excellent science**_

_Remarks_

This priority of Horizon 2020 aims to reinforce and extend excellence in the Union’s science base and ensure a steady
stream of world-class research to secure the Union’s long-term competitiveness. It will support the best ideas, develop
talent within the Union, provide researchers with access to priority research infrastructure, and make the Union an
attractive location for the world’s best researchers. Research actions to be funded will be determined according to the
need and opportunities of science, without pre-determined thematic priorities. Attention will be paid to supporting also
careers of female researchers and encouraging them to advance their careers to the highest grades, while removing
cultural and institutional barriers preventing them to advance. The research agenda will be set in close liaison with the
scientific community and research will be funded on the basis of excellence.

_Remarks_

The aim of those activities is to fully exploit the potential of Europe’s talent pool and to ensure that the benefits of an
innovation-led economy are both maximised and widely distributed across the Union in accordance with the principle
of excellence. By nurturing and connecting pools of excellence, the activities proposed will contribute to strengthening
the European Research Area.

The activities will focus on teaming of excellent research institutions and low-performing RDI regions aiming at the
creation of new (or significant upgrade of existing) centres of excellence in low performing RDI Member States and
regions, twinning of research institutions, establishing ‘ERA Chairs’, a Policy Support Facility to improve the design,
implementation, and evaluation of national/regional research and innovation policies, supporting access to international
networks for excellent researchers and innovators who lack sufficient involvement in European and international
networks and strengthening the administrative and operational capacity of transnational networks of national contact
points, including through training.

_Remarks_

The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 (FCH2) Joint Undertaking (JU), a public private partnership between the Commission,
the industry and the Research Grouping, will build up on the results of its predecessor, set up under the Seventh
Framework Programme. FCH 2 JU’s objective is to tackle a series of obstacles to the commercialisation of fuel cells and
hydrogen technologies by reducing the cost of FCH systems, increasing their efficiency and demonstrating their
feasibility, thus paving the way for a strong, sustainable and globally competitive fuel cells and hydrogen sector in the
Union. This appropriation is intended to cover the operational costs of the FCH 2 JU.

FCH 2 JU shall contribute to the implementation of Horizon 2020 and, in particular, of the specific objectives ‘Making
the transition to a reliable, affordable, publicly accepted, sustainable and competitive energy system’ and ‘Achieving a
European transport system that is resource-efficient, environmentally friendly, safe and seamless’ of the priority ‘Societal
challenges’.

Ongoing discussions on the post-2015 global development framework have viewed universal health coverage (UHC) as
a fundamental enabler for ending extreme poverty by 2030 and a crucial factor in completing the unfinished agenda of
the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) — notably MDGs 4, 5 and 6 on improving maternal health,
reducing child mortality, and combating HIV and AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis respectively.

It is also important to include neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the new development framework, in addition to the
[MDG 6 diseases and in line with the corresponding roadmap from the WHO (http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2012/](http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2012/WHO_HTM_NTD_2012.1_eng.pdf)
[WHO_HTM_NTD_2012.1_eng.pdf) and other prominent expert organisations.](http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2012/WHO_HTM_NTD_2012.1_eng.pdf)

_Objectives_

This project will produce a study that quantifies the role of poverty-related and neglected diseases (PRND) R & D in
contributing to UHC and improving the health situation in low- and middle-income countries. The study will:

— track Union investment in PRND R & D and assess how corresponding technologies are being translated into a
resource for UHC,

— examine how the correlation between PRND R & D and UHC can be improved with regard to the post-2015 global
development framework and develop recommendations for R & D indicators that help advance the impact of UHC.

Developing essential medicines for PRNDs that are safe, effective, affordable, accessible and of assured quality
contributes to achieving UHC, and adequately investing in UHC is an effective way of guaranteeing that available
services and products are also accessible and of a suitable standard of quality. This correlation will play a crucial role in
the post-2015 global development framework, not only for ensuring healthy lives, but also for helping to reduce
poverty.

The aim of this two-stage preparatory action is to identify the barriers that impede the development of a truly optimised
single European transport system and to propose a set of actions which, collectively, can help to accelerate progress. The
action fully supports Union and Commission initiatives. It will:

— inform future policy development and research and innovation programmes, at both Union and national level,

— address one of the seven challenges on which Horizon 2020 is based, namely ‘Smart, green and integrated
transport’,

— contribute to implementation of Europe 2020 f lagship initiatives such as ‘Increasing accessibility and clean
transport’ and ‘Promoting innovation and excellence’.

The examination stage will:

— identify stakeholders (industry, research, administrations, regulators and civil society), and their opinions, needs and
expectations,

— describe the current state of the system: public policy (at all levels); industry structures; market and regulatory
conditions; mechanisms for stakeholder collaboration; transport programmes,

— look at similar issues in other world regions and identify lessons to be learned,

— identify opportunities to improve Europe’s transport system as a whole and barriers preventing this.

The roadmap stage will suggest actions, endorsed by a cross-section of stakeholders, which can accelerate progress
towards an optimised transport system. It will examine:

— what, if any, new organisation(s) might help, without simply duplicating existing structures,

— how to develop a stronger ‘whole system’ mindset at all levels,

— ways to encourage existing initiatives to pay more attention to their interactions with the rest of the system,

— potential policy initiatives at Union, Member State and local levels.

The end result will be an in-depth analysis of the opportunities for and barriers to achieving a fully optimised transport
system across Europe, plus committed stakeholders from all sectors.

08 02 77 05 Pilot project — Maternal immunisation: bridging knowledge gaps for advancing maternal immunisation in low-resource
settings

_Remarks_

In the context of the unfinished MDG agenda, stepping up maternal immunisation for pregnant women and their
babies, to protect them from diseases that cause substantial morbidity and mortality, such as malaria, HIV, tuberculosis,
inf luenza and tetanus, represents a unique opportunity to effectively advance women’s and children’s health (MDG5 and
MDG4) in a cost-effective and equitable fashion. Vaccines are among the most effective preventive tools available to date
for reducing infectious diseases and their complications and sequelae. Most diseases that can be prevented with vaccines
in pregnancy have the greatest and most serious impact on mothers and infants in low-income countries.

Maternal immunisation is a promising approach in which pregnant women are vaccinated in order to protect newborns
who are too young to be vaccinated themselves. Neonatal mortality includes an estimated 600 000 infection-related
deaths per year, a proportion of which may be addressed through maternal immunisation. In addition, maternal
immunisation may address a proportion of the estimated 965 000 deaths from pre-term birth and prevent a
proportion of the 10-50% of stillbirths estimated to be caused by infectious disease.

In contrast, the evidence currently available from the areas concerned on the burden of diseases that can be prevented
through maternal immunisation and on the safety and efficacy of vaccines in pregnant women is incomplete and poor.
The generation of good data and robust evidence on the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in pregnancy and
infancy in low-income countries is vital and is a prerequisite for the future definition of a road map for maternal
immunisation policies in those areas.

Goal: to determine the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases in pregnant women and their infants in low-income
countries and assess the impact of co-morbidities such as HIV, tuberculosis and Chagas disease on this burden.

Objectives: capitalising on recent evidence, the pilot project will quantify the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases
(with a primary focus on Guillain-Barré Syndrome, respiratory syncytial virus, pertussis, inf luenza, tetanus and rubella)
in pregnant women and their infants and to study how this burden in pregnant women is modified by co-morbidities
such as infection by HIV, tuberculosis or joint HIV-tuberculosis infection in representative sites in sub-Saharan Africa,
Latin America and the Caribbean.

The pilot project may also help to foster evaluation of licensed vaccines and vaccines under development for pregnant
women in low-income countries, where these vaccines are most needed (i.e. it can help build a maternal inf luenza
immunisation platform including antenatal care in developing countries), address obstacles to maternal immunisation,
and contribute to the definition of a roadmap on maternal immunisation policies and inform priority setting in these
contexts. Moreover the project is timely, given the momentum among global health stakeholders as regards the impact
of immunisation and the fact that, throughout the next decade, low- and middle-income countries will be introducing
new life-saving vaccines into their routine immunisation programmes. The project may trigger public-private
collaboration and North-South research cooperation.

_Remarks_

The proposed research is completely new in so far as it synchronously combines highly resolved acoustical (medium to
far field) and optical (near field) imaging (low light, high frequencies) through a blending and calibration mechanism to
translate the information from the near field into the far field and vice versa. This is to quantify fish abundance,
biomass, and diversity in key areas as well as other MSFD indicators (through a further set of (environmental)
instrumentation). Instead of snapshots (as generated like in regular surveys) ‘videos’ will be produced, where the
assessment method will be following international (ICES) standards. The complete system is anticipated to work
autonomously, continuously and non-invasively in an event based mode to save energy.

As a research platform an opto-acoustic lander hardware (underwater fish observatory, UFO) will be provided by the
research institute at no cost for the project, for optimising the pattern recognition algorithms and related research.

The indicated amount covers inter alia the costs for biometrical measurements of fish, modelling of fish age-, length-,
biomass-, volume-to-photo/video relationships, quantification of the reef effect through tagging experiments, calibration
(integration) of biological results with those from acoustics and optics, optimisation of survey design from a biological
perspective, migration and single fish separation (medium to far field fish tracing), event based control of the full
instrumentation, distance estimation (near field stereo-metrics), fish separation (near field fish tracing) and calibration
(integration) of optical results with those from acoustics and biology.

_TITLE 08 — RESEARCH AND INNOVATION_

**CHAPTER 08 03 — EURATOM PROGRAMME — INDIRECT ACTIONS** _(cont'd)_

_**08 03 51**_ _(cont'd)_

The programme covers two thematic areas:

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

Fission research, which aims to establish a sound scientific and technical basis in order to accelerate practical
developments for the safer management of long-lived radioactive waste, to promote safer, more resource-efficient and
cost-effective nuclear energy and to ensure a robust and socially acceptable system of protection of man and the
environment against the effects of radiation.

_Remarks_

The Research Fund for Coal and Steel funds every year innovative projects to enhance the safety, efficiency and
competitive edge of the Union coal and steel industries. It was created in 2002 to build on the successes of the
European Coal and Steel Community. The distribution of the budgets between coal (27,2 %) and steel (72,8 %) is
defined in Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of
[the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2003&mm=02&jj=05&type=L&nnn=029&pppp=0022&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2) and
operational expenditure relating to the work programme only (Title 3).

The Agency was set up to enhance the capability of the Union, the Member States and, as a consequence, the business
community to prevent, address and respond to network and information security problems. In order to achieve this
goal, the Agency will be developing a high level of expertise and stimulating broad cooperation between actors from the
public and private sectors.

The Agency’s aim is to provide assistance and to deliver advice to the Commission and the Member States on issues
related to network and information security falling within its competencies and to assist the Commission, where called
upon, in the technical preparatory work for updating and developing Union legislation in the field of network and
information security.

_Remarks_

The proposed European Centre for Press and Media Freedom follows on from the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the
European Union and the European Charter on Freedom of the Press by acting as a single European-level ‘drop-in centre’
for journalistic organisations or individuals and media actors alleging violations of those charters. It will be the sole
centre in Europe that monitors and documents any such violations. It will sound the alarm in acute cases, for instance
by organising support from foreign colleagues for journalists who need help. The centre will benefit from input from a
wide range of sources, including academic centres, regional partners all over Europe and various journalistic organisations. The centre will cover the 28 Member States and the candidate countries.

This preparatory action will complement to existing actions supported by the Union budget. More specifically, the
centre will be the practical hands-on counterpart of the academic Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom based
at the European University Institute in Florence. It will, furthermore, benefit from the momentum created by the HighLevel Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism set up by the Commission and by the European Parliament resolution of
21 May 2013 on ‘Standard settings for media freedom across the EU’.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

This preparatory action follows on from the pilot project financed in 2013 and 2014 by the European Parliament, the
main purpose of which was to test and apply the media pluralism monitor (MPM) developed in 2009 at the request of
the Commission by a consortium of European universities.

The MPM pilot project is currently being carried out by the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (CMPF) at
the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies/European University Institute, an academic centre established in 2011
by the Commission as part of the Union’s ongoing efforts to improve the protection of media pluralism and media
freedom in Europe, and to assess what action needs to be taken at European or national level to further those objectives.
Under the pilot project, the CMPF is testing a streamlined version of the 2009 MPM on a representative sample of nine
Member States: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy and the United Kingdom. Those
countries were selected on the basis of objective criteria so as to ensure the highest degree of neutrality and to allow
broad implementation in different circumstances.

_Remarks_

The vision of the eHealth action plan 2012-2020 is to utilise and develop e-health to address several of the most
pressing health and health systems challenges of the first half of the twenty-first century, namely:

— to improve chronic disease and multi-morbidity (multiple concurrent disease) management and to strengthen
effective prevention and health promotion practices,

— to increase the sustainability and efficiency of health systems by unlocking innovation, enhancing patient-/citizencentric care and citizen empowerment and encouraging organisational changes,

— to foster cross-border healthcare, health security, solidarity, universality and equity,

— to improve legal and market conditions for developing e-health products and services.

ICT-based products and services have demonstrated their capacity to help address these major challenges in the form of
personalised health, telehealth and telecare solutions, service robotics for health and care, support for prolonged active
and independent living and home-based care. It is also a major new growth opportunity as large new markets for ICTbased products and services emerge to address health, demographic change and well-being.

Activities will cover development and exploitation of ICT for health, well-being and ‘ageing well’ solutions. This will
build on the emergence of underpinning technologies arising out of ICT in LEIT such as micro-nano systems, embedded
systems, robotics, internet of the future and cloud technologies. It will also build on further development of securityand privacy-enhancing technologies.

The ambient assisted living research and development joint programme will also be supported to contribute to market
availability and exploitation of ICT-based products and services and the ICT innovation and pilot projects will be further
supported in response to the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Health Ageing and the eHealth 2020
action plan.

_Remarks_

The specific objective is to foster inclusive, innovative and ref lective European societies in a context of unprecedented
transformations and growing global interdependencies.

Activities will cover four main areas: ICT-enabled public sector innovation, understanding and preserving Europe’s
intellectual basis, learning and inclusion.

ICT-enabled public sector innovation refers to the use of ICT for the creation and implementation of new processes,
products, services and methods of delivery which result in significant improvements in the efficiency, effectiveness and
quality of public services. The future public administrations should be digital and cross-border by default. Activities will
cover fostering efficient, open and citizen-centric public services, involving the public sector as an agent for innovation
and change as well as cross-border innovation measures or seamless delivery of public services.

The aim of the second challenge is ‘to contribute to an understanding of Europe’s intellectual basis: its history and the
many European and non-European inf luences; as an inspiration for our lives today’.

The aim of the third challenge is to support the widespread adoption of ICT in schools and for training in Europe.

_Remarks_

The specific objective is to secure societies, protecting freedom and security of the Union and its citizens.

The integrated portfolio of activities will develop solutions to protect our society and economy against accidental or
man-made disruptions of the information and communication technologies our society and economy depends on;
providing solutions for end-to-end secure ICT systems, services and applications; safeguarding the human right of
privacy in the digital society; providing the incentives for the industry to supply secure ICT; stimulating the uptake of
secure ICT. The aim is to ensure cyber security, trust and privacy in the Digital Single Market, whilst at the same time
improving the competitiveness of the Union’s security, ICT and service industries. Another objective is to increase users’
trust in their participation in the digital society, and overcome citizens’ concern with the disclosure of their personal
information online because of security issues (e.g. internet usage for banking or purchases).

_Remarks_

For decades, thousands of entrepreneurs have been drawn to Silicon Valley, a region with a unique innovation
ecosystem. Many European entrepreneurs have also established their own successful companies there, generating
knowledge and investing worldwide. Silicon Valley is also the birthplace of many digital start-ups and digital
innovations. In the context of the Commission’s new digital strategy, especially the digital single market, a platform is
needed to engage with Silicon Valley on the digital agenda, as well as to stay in touch with the Union expatriate
community in Silicon Valley and build bridges between digital ecosystems in Europe and Silicon Valley. That will create
synergies and raise awareness about Europe’s digital agenda and its support for start-ups (e.g. the Startup Europe
initiative). It will also be a channel for sharing knowledge and experience acquired in the Valley. It will also allow Europe
to bring its digital agenda closer to the Union expatriate community in Silicon Valley, in the line with new reforms such
as the digital single market and the capital markets union. Other countries are already engaged in such activities. India
regularly organises the TiECon Conference in Silicon Valley, for example, in order to build a stronger bridge between
Indian experts based in Silicon Valley and their homeland. Thousands of Indian entrepreneurs and CEOs of important
Indian players regularly visit TiECon. In the context of the Welcome project, the Commission supported an event on
start-ups in Silicon Valley in 2015 entitled ‘Startup Europe comes to Silicon Valley’ (SEC2SV). The pilot project will
provide for a ‘Digital Europe’ conference in Silicon Valley with side events and meetings connecting with Union
expatriates, with a particular focus on the digital economy, digital innovation and digitisation. This will also benefit
from experience gained from the 2015 initiative.

_Remarks_

Higher education and research are rapidly evolving. Creating new knowledge technologies means training teachers,
students and researchers, as well as any individual who needs to adapt to new market demands. Many endeavours, such
as citizen science, scientific discovery games and MOOCs (massive open online courses), show that — like many other
sectors — education and research are rapidly evolving. In order to fully exploit the potential of this new type of learning
system for the labour market, methods are needed to validate the quality of learning. Consequently, a mechanism has to
be found that allows individuals to assess their competencies (creating their individual knowledge maps), the knowledge
required on the labour market and the learning path that can link the two, hence providing the right content for each
individual. Only by doing so can it be ensured that the right content is available to the right target group of individuals.
To track the learning path, it must be possible to validate the knowledge acquired (through online certificates or badges).

Social and technological innovations of this kind can benefit all citizens regardless of their level of resources, the
languages they speak, their age, their health or their cultural capital. Such an action will thus help to bridge the
knowledge gap and reduce unemployment by helping unemployed young people in particular to maximise their
learning and find new career opportunities.

The overall objective of this preparatory action is to demonstrate a Europe-wide ICT-based system shortening the upand re-skilling time for European citizens, in particular the unemployed, by maximising the use of online courses and
open education resources. The action will develop and deploy a technological platform integrating online services
including the following modules:

— skill/competence mapping,

— tailored learning roadmaps (via educational services, including specific open educational resources),

— mechanisms for the validation of knowledge acquired.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will prepare the European economy, the job market and educational frameworks for new digital skills
by encouraging the recognition of new digital professions and by creating a common methodology that will enable
Member States to be in the forefront of the new digital revolution. This will involve setting up several working groups of
experts from Member States to exchange ideas and propose solutions on how the education system could prepare
people for new digital skills, on defining and recognising new digital professions and on the new requirements,
demands and social status associated with new digital jobs. The goal is to produce materials and proposals that will
enable the Union and the Member States to prepare for this new shift in the European economy. Specific activities
carried out under this pilot project will result in a consultation process among Member States and education, social
services and job market stakeholders.

_Remarks_

REIsearch seeks to accelerate full use of Europe’s intellectual capital to the benefit of citizens, entrepreneurs and
scientists through new media tools. Growing from a successful pilot project, this preparatory action will expand the
work of the platform.

The preparatory action involves expansion of an e-infrastructure platform developed around the concept of social
networks which facilitates direct communication between researchers, policy makers and citizens, with the involvement
of media, across the European Research Area (ERA).

Inspired by the ‘societal challenges’ outlined in Horizon 2020, REIsearch supports the creation of virtual clusters around
key topics, creating a direct path for open dialogue between science and society.

The action promotes active interaction between science, citizens and policy makers through the involvement of
European media and social networks, in order to support participation of citizens in research agenda-setting, ongoing
research processes and discussions on the results and impacts of research for society, policy and further research. It
supports the use of evidence-based policymaking in all Union actions, in line with the drive for better regulation.
REIsearch supports science-based policymaking by affording access to scientific information across the spectrum and
providing a critical mass of knowledge to inspire confidence in any users of the platform. It is a neutral platform with
no bias as to national origin or disciplinary background. Discussions are linked to the scientific evidence they are based

on.

Building on the successful 14-month pilot project, REIsearch will expand and grow to cover the full range of societal
challenges, enabling users to engage with the issues of their choice and self-determine the clusters and direction of
discussions. Alongside the platform itself, REIsearch will integrate a range of tools such as big data/social media datamining, applications of new artificial intelligence and semantic web applications to extract information about the trends
and f lows of the scientific consensus and discussions.

The objectives of the preparatory action are:

— to expand and fortify the reliable, non-profit e-infrastructure (similar to social networks) launched as a beta in 2015
to promote stronger communication and dialogue across disciplines, sectors and borders,

— to analyse and assess the results of the beta launch and develop the search algorithms and data-mining mechanisms
underpinning the trend-mapping capabilities,

**CHAPTER 09 04 — HORIZON 2020** _(cont'd)_

_**09 04 77**_ _(cont'd)_

09 04 77 08 _(cont'd)_

— to further promote interoperability with existing research databases and platforms, with a single access point to
research results from all countries and disciplines (interoperability) and with linkage to existing European initiatives,

— to expand the number of virtual clusters to include all the ‘societal challenges’ that bring together researchers,
industry, citizens and policy makers to enhance collaboration on these key themes,

— to create a direct dialogue between these clusters (see previous indent) and citizens by linking in with leading
European media.

The preparatory action seeks to respond to some of the needs and concerns outlined in the digital agenda and Horizon
2020. It also supports the underlying infrastructures of the European Research Area, which serves as a vital engine in
unlocking Europe’s potential for innovations that could lead to jobs and economic growth.

Current issues addressed by the action: recent ICT developments have shown how the power of social networks and einfrastructures can help harness the potential of networks.

The problems of the existing online environment for research e-infrastructures are:

— size: the majority of existing networks are too small to go beyond a specific field and research group (according to
Commission statistics the average size of an online network of researchers is around 100 users). There is a need for
a large interoperable network that allows researchers and other stakeholders to find the information they are
looking for across sectors and disciplines, using a familiar tool,

— reach: traditionally, networks bring together users within the same field and sector. In order to unlock Europe’s
innovation capacity, transdisciplinary (intersectoral and interdisciplinary) connections need to be made easier,

— reliability: one of the major reasons why big research networks have not been successful is that existing relations are
still based on personal connections and online identities are not trusted. In order to really foster transdisciplinary
connections, a system is needed in which identity verification creates a secure environment for all users,

— trust: this is a pivotal aspect for any network. Market studies suggest that a European social network/e-infrastructure
would need to be developed in collaboration with stakeholders, be non-profit and have a clear intellectual property
policy developed together with researchers.

_Remarks_

The preparatory action will seek to ensure a coherent, coordinated and sustainable approach, to secure, develop and
enhance engagement of all relevant stakeholders from Eastern Europe (business, academia, research organisations and
civil society) and to inform, prepare and help regional entities from this part of Europe as regards developing projects
under the Commission’s smart factories scheme. The action will cover those regions in Eastern Europe hard hit by
deindustrialisation where no smart factories have been planned or brought into operation and those whose industrial
capacity needs to be improved.

The preparatory action will also seek to identify, assess and support exploitation of the industrial potential in a selected
region, and to explore its innovation potential and the scope for its expansion. It will clearly target identification of
industrial competitive advantages and the potential for specialisation at regional level based on an entrepreneurship
discovery process, establishing a governance structure and framework for continuous collaboration between businesses
and researchers, and support for preparation of the relevant policy documents.

_Remarks_

_Former Item 16 03 01 01 (in part)_

This appropriation is intended to fund general information to citizens on operations concerning the Union, for the
purpose of increasing the visibility of the work of the Union institutions, the decisions taken and the stages in the
building of Europe, so as to allow citizens to make full use of their right to be informed about and involved in European
policies. It concerns essentially the funding or co-funding of the production and/or dissemination of multimedia (radio,
TV, internet, etc.), information products, including existing pan-European networks made up of local and national
media delivering daily news on European affairs, such as Euranet Plus, as well as the tools necessary to develop such a
policy. Most of this appropriation covers evaluation expenditure. Part of this appropriation will be used to ensure
continuity for those actions and a stable financing framework for the future of existing pan-European networks of local
and national media moving into the digital age (radio, television, internet, etc.).

This appropriation also covers support expenditure such as studies, meetings, _ex post_ controls, expert technical and
administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service
contracts, evaluation and audit on current or future activities, feasibility studies, publications, and the repayment of
travel and related expenses of experts.

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

The Commission, when implementing this item, should take duly into account the outcome of the meetings of the
Interinstitutional Group of Information (IGI).

_Remarks_

This preparatory action is a continuation of the preparatory action entitled ‘Crowdsourcing subtitling to increase
circulation of European works’ under a different title.

In spite of existing MEDIA support for subtitling, many European works (TV drama, documentaries, films, etc.) are
often not made available, especially in relatively small countries in the European Union which do not share an official
language with another country. One of the reasons for that is their relatively low commercial potential and the costs
involved, in particular subtitling costs. In this context, the current action will support any innovative solution, e.g.
crowdsourcing, which has the effect of decreasing the cost of subtitling. It will allow wider exposure, and potentially a
wider audience, for European films, especially online.

The aims of this preparatory action are:

— testing and developing innovative subtitling solutions/processes/models that are more cost-effective than those
currently available on the market,

— applying this approach to a well-designed catalogue of European works with a clear editorial line,

— supporting the online availability of the works.

The outcomes sought for this preparatory action are:

— lowering the cost of making European films available by stimulating the development of cost-effective subtitling
solutions,

— increasing the supply and raising the profile of European audiovisual works online and enriching the catalogues of
video-on-demand services in the Union,

— improving the circulation of European audiovisual works within the Union and strengthening the competitiveness
of the European audiovisual industry.

_Remarks_

The main goal of the pilot project is to transform people into critical media citizens and committed media fairness
advocates who can deconstruct media communication and information media policy. It will furthermore focus on
improving citizens’ abilities to create media works that ref lect their lived experience. Conferences, workshops and
training programmes will be organised and particular attention will be paid to activities to enhance the ability to
distinguish information from propaganda; improve creativity for media works production; design programmes for the
integration of minorities; promote the sharing of best practices among stakeholders and countries; and deliver tools to
experience direct democracy. The pilot project as a whole will be focused on all kinds of media tools (radio, internet,
broadcasting, newspapers), used in all kinds of environments and targeted at all age groups. Priority will be given to
low-skilled people and people at risk of social marginalisation. The pilot project will be the subject of a Commission call
for proposals.

_Remarks_

The existing pilot project under Item 15 04 77 07, ‘Fostering European integration through culture by providing new
subtitled versions of selected European TV programmes across all Europe’, has been converted into a preparatory action
under Item 09 05 77 05, ‘Subtitling European cultural television content throughout Europe’.

This preparatory action follows on from that pilot project, financed in 2014 and 2015 by Parliament, the aim of which
was to ascertain whether there is a European audience for cultural programmes by providing a range of subtitled
versions of selected TV programmes across Europe.

The pilot project financed in 2014 is currently being carried out by ARTE, the European arts TV channel, which will
provide 600 hours of programming in four languages (French, German, English and Spanish) from October 2015
onwards.

_Remarks_

A growing number of Member States have recognised the value of taking the design and innovation process approach
to developing new policies and public services. Several initiatives have already started to demonstrate how integrating
user-centred design and prototyping activities into the policy-making process can save money, have a greater impact
and provide policies that are more citizen-centred. The establishment of such a policy lab is under discussion within the
Joint Research Centre and the pilot project will accelerate the establishment of the lab.

The Commission’s 2013 Action Plan for Design-Driven Innovation and the Commission’s Expert Group on Public
Sector Innovation have highlighted the positive impact mainstreaming innovation in the public sector can have on
growth.

This is why the establishment of a European Commission Public Sector Innovation Lab, as recommended by the expert
group, would be beneficial.

One main objective of the pilot project is cooperation with national, regional and local actors to enhance their ability to
implement EU policies by working with similar structures on the ground or supporting the establishment of new ones.
The lab will feed into efforts to improve the spending of EU funds and the implementation of EU legislation.

Acting as the Commission’s own in-house innovation team, the lab will also support the European institutions in redesigning old regulations or taking a more iterative and cost-effective approach to policy design from the idea
generation phase through to implementation. This will include using techniques such as randomised control trials,
behavioural economics, user-led trials, systems thinking, for example when designing new EU funding programmes for
SMEs, and finding new ways of cutting red tape.

_TITLE 10 — DIRECT RESEARCH_

**CHAPTER 10 03 — EURATOM PROGRAMME — DIRECT ACTIONS** _(cont'd)_

The general objective of the Euratom Programme is to pursue nuclear research and training activities with an emphasis
on continuous improvement of nuclear safety, security and radiation protection, in particular to potentially contribute
to the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system in a safe, efficient and secure way. It will cover both RTD indirect
actions on the fusion research and development, nuclear fission, safety and radiation protection research activities, as
well as the JRC direct actions in nuclear security and safety. The JRC will provide independent customer-driven scientific
and technological support for the implementation and monitoring of Community policies, in particular in the field of
nuclear safety and security research and training. By achieving these objectives, the Euratom Programme will reinforce
outcomes under the three priorities of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme: excellent science, industrial
leadership and societal challenges. These objectives are clearly linked to those of the Europe 2020 and Energy 2020
strategies and the creation and operation of the European Research Area.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to finance the following activities 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 Advisory Councils (following the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the existing Regional
Advisory Councils (RACs) were transformed into Advisory Councils (ACs) and new ones are being created) to cover
operational costs as well as interpretation and translation costs of AC 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 ACs with a financial contribution. It will participate in
meetings when appropriate and analyse the recommendations issued by the ACs which may provide an input when
drafting legislation. Through the consultation of stakeholders in the ACs, 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 candidate countries 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 commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

Fishing communities in the outermost regions (ORs) are facing unique and atypical challenges. In response to those
challenges, new fishing techniques have developed separately in different ORs. This pilot project will, by involving local
fishing communities and stakeholders, explore the feasibility of transferring new fishing techniques from OR to OR.

The main objective is to encourage and share best practices, which may involve new low-environmental-impact fishing
techniques, and promote offshore experimental fishing.

_**11 06 77**_ _(cont'd)_

11 06 77 09 _(cont'd)_

By doing this it may be possible to identify viable alternatives which allow the small-scale fishing sector to move its
inshore fishing effort offshore, thus reducing fishing pressure on coastal resources. This may allow fishermen in ORs to
maintain traditional fishing activities while moving to more environment-friendly and economically viable techniques.

This will also improve the supply to local markets of good-quality fish produced in situ, resulting in associated benefits
for the tourism sector, and reduce the need for imports.

_Specifications_

The fishing practices to be developed in one or more ORs must be new to the region concerned. They could, however,
be mature in another region but never have been introduced in the ORs in question. Exchange of good fishing practice
among operators is key to success.

Fishing practices must have a low environmental impact, in that the techniques themselves must be environmentfriendly and the fishing operations must be small in scale.

The project will involve an initial feasibility study, exchanges of views among experts from different regions and fishing
trials involving scientific experts. The expected deliverable is a report detailing the technical aspects of the innovative
fishing practices concerned, together with the yields obtained in the experimental trials. This will facilitate the transition
towards viable alternative fishing practices for the ORs’ small-scale f leets.

The report will also assess the potential investment needed (for example, in new gears) and assess the economic viability
for fishermen to use the innovative fishing practices. As appropriate, synergies with the European Maritime and
Fisheries Fund may be included in this assessment.

_Explanation_

All this points to the need to find fish further offshore or in new resources. In some ORs, such as the Azores and
Madeira, offshore fishing is well developed and targeted at deep-water resources and, to some extent, large migratory
fish, mainly using hook-and-line techniques with a very low environmental impact. In other ORs, particularly French
ORs, techniques have been developed to fish for large migratory fish with anchored fish aggregating devices (FADs).
Although some trials have been carried out, fishing for deep-water resources in French ORs has yet to be properly
developed, and the know-how of the experts from the Azores and Madeira would be beneficial there. Similarly, while
fishing over anchored FADs is well developed in French ORs, it is not in the Portuguese and Spanish ORs. Exchanges of
fishing practices and experimental trials could be the starting point for adapting these techniques and using them more
widely.

_Remarks_

With a view to improving fisheries monitoring and control, this pilot project will involve operational trials of an
innovative solution developed under the Seventh Framework Programme which combines a number of data sources
(AIS, radar systems, weather forecasting systems, rules, databases, etc.) in a smart monitoring system allowing real-time
tracking of vessels suspected of engaging in illegal activities. This system, a demonstration of which could be carried out
in partnership with the European Fisheries Control Agency, using VMS data, would be more efficient and less errorprone and would therefore be a great help in efforts to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (IUU fishing)
and, in particular, in the management of joint deployment plans (JDPs).

_Remarks_

This pilot project will enhance coordination between national coastguards or entities carrying out coastguard functions,
the Commission and EU agencies such as Frontex, the European Maritime Safety Agency and the European Fisheries
Control Agency in order to create synergies between their respective activities in a maritime environment.

Better coordination and cooperation should improve information f low between actors in order to facilitate a more rapid
response at sea in all their fields of activity.

The pilot project will test operational actions in practice, involving agencies and various national authorities, in order to
promote the sharing of capacities, findings and expertise (pooling of capacity, sharing of assets and joint planning).

The pilot project will build on the existing legislative framework, particularly the EU Maritime Security Strategy, the
European Agenda on Security and the European Agenda on Migration, as well as maritime transport legislation relating
to environmental protection, security and safety.

— creation and maintenance of systems directly linked to putting into place and monitoring policies launched within
the framework of the internal market for services,

— support of activities which seek to contribute to the achievement of the Union’s policy objectives by enhancing
supervisory convergence and cooperation, and in the field of financial reporting, both inside and outside the Union.

In order to achieve these objectives, this appropriation covers the costs of consultation, studies, surveys, evaluations,
participation, production and the development of publicity, awareness-raising and training materials (printed matter,
audiovisual material, assessments, computer tools, the collection and dissemination of information, information and
advice measures for citizens and businesses).

Part of this appropriation is intended to cover expenditure incurred by the Commission for ensuring the effective
functioning of the European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights.

This appropriation is also intended to cover 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 Union, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance
[relating to the marketing of products (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30). To this end, regular joint training for representatives](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2008&mm=08&jj=13&type=L&nnn=218&pppp=0030&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
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
experience 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 about the need to have adequate resources 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.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, surveys, meetings of experts, information activities and
publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this
article, and any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance.

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 Single Resolution Board (‘the Board’) was established by Regulation (EU) No 806/2014. The Board will carry out
specified tasks concerning the preparation for the resolution of banks and their actual resolution where they are failing
or likely to fail.

This appropriation is intended to finance the administrative expenditures of the Board during its first months of
operation in 2015, which are mainly composed of recruitment and staff expenditures, building and information
technology costs and the first operational expenditures.

This financing provided by the Union budget will be reimbursed once the first annual contributions due by the banks to
cover the administrative expenditures of the Board will have been collected by the Board, after which the Board is
expected to become fully self-financed by its own revenues.

_Remarks_

The financial and economic crisis has significantly shaken the confidence of consumers, retail investors and SMEs in the
legislation and regulations that are meant to protect them from failings in the financial system. For this reason, it is very
important that the concerns of end users and other non-industry stakeholders should be 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 preparatory action, which follows on from a successful 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 banking and financial services sector and informing 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.

This appropriation is intended to cover ERDF support under the investment for growth and jobs goal in more

remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern
all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low carbon
economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions includes regions
with a GDP per capita above 90 % of the average GDP of the Union.

13 03 77 14 _(cont'd)_

Whereas the Union has developed a regional strategy for the Baltic Sea area and work has begun on developing
strategies for the Atlantic and Arctic regions, such a process has not yet started for the North Sea region. A regional
strategy for the North Sea region is the missing link between the macro regional areas in the north-east and north-west
of Europe.

The aim of this preparatory action is to analyse the region’s growth potential and use the findings to investigate the
added value of having a future shared macro-regional strategy for the North Sea area, given the fact that a strong North
Sea region has the potential to act as an engine for growth in Europe and contribute to the objectives of the Europe
2020 strategy.

_North Sea region 2020 strategy paper_

The North Sea Commission General Assembly has developed the North Sea region 2020 strategy paper in consultation
with members and stakeholders in the North Sea region. The strategy paper regards the North Sea region as a territorial
cooperation area, and its strategic focus is on the major challenges and common characteristics where transnational
action and collaborative working is considered to give added value.

The strategy paper identifies five strategic priorities that are closely linked to the Europe 2020 objectives and contribute
to the implementation of several (if not all) of the Europe 2020 f lagship initiatives:

— managing maritime space,

— increasing accessibility and clean transport,

— tackling climate change,

— attractive and sustainable communities,

— promoting innovation and excellence.

The North Sea region strategy paper is a first step towards analysing the challenges and opportunities for the North Sea
area and exploring the potential for regional growth in support of the Europe 2020 strategy.

_North Sea region preparatory action_

To fully explore the regional growth potential in support of the Europe 2020 strategy and lay the grounds for a strong
macro-region, there is a need to carry out more in-depth analysis of the five strategic priorities identified in North Sea
region 2020 strategy paper and their added value in a European community context.

_Activities_

The preparatory action will finance a number of well-coordinated initiatives over a three-year period (2014-2017) and
focus on:

— in-depth analyses/studies of the five priorities identified in the North Sea region 2020 paper,

— stakeholder conferences to address the issues of commitment, cooperation and content,

— follow-up dialogue with all stakeholders, including the Commission, Member States, and regional authorities.

The activities should be closely linked to the Union’s regional policy and should also facilitate synergies with other
Union policy areas and programmes.

_Output_

The final output will be an in-depth analysis of the North Sea region’s growth potential, including possible intervention
areas, and a white book to the Union and Member States about the added value of a shared regional strategy and
cooperation for the North Sea region.

_Implementation_

The appropriations for this preparatory action could be inserted in the general budget of the Union under Title 13
‘Regional and urban policy’, given the regional nature of the intended activities. DG REGIO should be responsible for
implementing the preparatory action in cooperation with the North Sea Commission.

The main focus of the preparatory action introduced in the 2014 budget is to support current policy dialogues and EU
global relations and cooperation on urbanisation matters with strategic partners such as China, India, Canada or Japan.

The preparatory action helps to share the benefit of the EU's experience of how regional and urban development
policies underpin the process of economic and political integration with main partners outside the EU and to pool
international responses and experience, to the benefit of EU regions and cities, on the challenges faced by cities and
regions worldwide. Under the preparatory action implemented since 2014, four platforms for city-to-city cooperation
are being created, the third URBELAC network is being supported and technical assistance is being financed. Take-up of
the funding for the preparatory action is high. The preparatory action needs to be extended into 2016 so as to further
implement and deepen existing partnerships and to develop new strategic cooperation with countries and regions in
other parts of the world.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the

Implementation of this preparatory action should ideally set a best example for designing and implementing a genuine
RIS3 strategy in a specific Greek region and should serve as a model for other convergence regions.

_Rationale_

Given that an important preparatory work has been already carried out by the Commission to incite Greece and its
regions to start designing an adequate regional innovation smart specialisation strategy, the challenge still remains in
development and implementation. Exchange of best practices is not sufficient to build competitive advantage by
developing and matching research and innovation strengths with business needs of a particular territory. Therefore it is
very important to strengthen current efforts by direct, professional and tailor-made assistance to a Greek region heavily
hit by the crisis.

13 03 77 16 _(cont'd)_

Current fragmentation and lack of coordination efforts between central and regional governments does not guarantee
that a proper entrepreneurial discovery process will be carried out in Greek regions. Therefore it is crucial to set up a
sound and inclusive governance structure with relevant experience and human resources to plan and implement
research, development and innovation (R & D & I) measures in one of Greek regions as an example. To facilitate and
accelerate the development process, an exchange of expertise with a specialist on economic geography and change
processes from other Union regions should assist one of the Greek regions in the entrepreneurial discovery process.
This help would also lower the burden on human resources of the Greek authorities that need to build expertise. This
expertise needs to be created with the help of best practice exchange on administration and regional economic
development with a strong involvement of competent and experienced European specialists in the field of regional
economic transformation based on knowledge.

_Scope_

The aim of this preparatory action is to capture the economic potential in a selected region, and secondly, to explore the
possibilities of its innovation potential and its expansion. The region proposed is one of the poorest in Greece and in
the Union, the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. The region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace is a convergence
region strongly hit by the crisis and the fierce competition of low-labour-cost neighbouring countries. Despite the
presence of a university and a technological institute and other research bodies in the region, the links of the R & D & I
activities with the needs of the local entrepreneurs are almost non-existent. The preparatory action should show the
example that growth based on innovation and export orientation of the local productive forces is feasible.

This should serve as a growth paradigm for other regions of convergence in Greece and in Europe.

The funding available from the Union should support development and implementation of the regional smart
specialisation strategy, concentrating in particular on:

— creating and/or strengthening the links between regional outward-looking industry/manufacturing and Greek
regional R & D & I bodies (preferably within the same region but outside the region as well),

— supporting Greek regional institutional R & D & I bodies in creating and/or strengthening links with regional
outward oriented companies in providing concrete solutions to the technological needs of the exporting companies
of the region,

— stopping the brain drain by fully exploiting available technological equipment in the Technological Institute of the
region and the use of such equipment by local specialised personnel to provide technological solutions for the
selected exporting companies and by creating a pool of highly qualified locals in business, trade and exports to assist
and advise potential foreign investors,

— encouraging cooperation between the Managing Authority of the regional operational programme and geographic
economists of the region and other geographic economists successfully implementing an RIS3 policy in a given
region in another European Member State, e.g. Germany.

_Duration — Form of assistance_

The duration of this preparatory scheme should not exceed one year from its launch and should not exceed the initially
allocated funding either.

_Proposal for preparatory action in the region of Eastern Macedonia — Thrace_

Considering the actions undertaken so far in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (R-AMTH) on the ‘smart
specialisation strategy’ the launching of pilot action is recommended to help shaping better the smart specialisation
strategy of the Region, in particular, the selection of the priorities on which financing should concentrate. Hence, the
following preparatory scheme is proposed:

— activation of an industrial research and technology development programme directed to the needs of activities
identified in the entrepreneurial discovery process. Up to now RIS3 — Regional assessment: Eastern Macedonia —
Thrace indicated some sectors where the region could have a competitive advantage like: geothermal energy,
agriculture, livestock, fisheries and biotechnology, extraction and processing of marble and ICTs and automation,

— strengthening of cooperation and networking between researchers and research institutions of the R-AMTH with
the productive forces of the region. Research bodies should demonstrate (e.g. under memoranda of understanding)
their contribution to developing solutions for existing and potential users’ needs for exploiting the results of tailormade research and development projects (focusing on industrial research and experimental development),

— stopping brain drain by: (a) enabling a mobility research training programme and optimise use of the research
equipment of TEI Kavala; and (b) creating a pool of highly qualified locals in business, trade and exports to assist
and advise potential foreign investors,

— supporting the cooperation, the exchange of best practices and twinning of the Managing Authority of the regional
operational programme and geographic economists for Eastern Macedonia and Thrace with a Managing Authority
as well as geographic economists successfully implementing an RIS3 policy in a given region in another EU Member
State.

_Monitoring and evaluation_

This one-year preparatory scheme will be monitored by the Managing Authority of the regional operational programme
for Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. A limited number of specific output and result indicators should be set before the
start of the preparatory scheme, measuring at least growth of turnover, growth of exports and jobs safeguarded and
created.

A short evaluation study should be commissioned at the end of the preparatory scheme.

The results of the preparatory scheme should be presented in the region, in Athens in a special seminar to be organised
by the European Parliament Representation in Athens and in the European Parliament in Brussels.

_Implementation of the preparatory action_

In order to maximise the synergies between the project and the work currently being done by the Joint Research Centre
on smart specialisation in European regions, the Commission may implement the project through the Joint Research
Centre, with the support of DG REGIO.

_Remarks_

This preparatory action will take the pilot project forward in two main ways:

— more detailed action on bottlenecks at national level,

— more solid support to solve the most recurrent weaknesses in taking up policy recommendations.

This preparatory action will build on the pilot project by including regions which are substantially lagging behind on
their ‘stairway to excellence’, despite more than 25 years of Structural Fund assistance, and provide lessons for the
future. A review process will be set up by the end of 2016 on the basis of smart specialisation strategies agreed by all
stakeholders. The extension of the pilot project to 2016 and 2017 will allow participation at the start of the operational
programmes in the 2014-2020 period and directly provide policymakers with novel evidence relating to Horizon 2020
participation and initial take-up of R & D spending under the new 2014-2020 European Structural and Investments
Funds. This novel evidence will also help to identify ongoing positive/negative trends in the EU-13 countries with regard
to participation in cross-border consortia. Extension to the EU-15 countries will allow analysis of ‘lessons to learn’ and
make a long-lasting contribution to bridging the innovation gap in the relevant countries, regions and cities.

_Remarks_

This preparatory action builds on the positive outcomes of the ongoing European Parliament preparatory action on
refinement and implementation of an RIS3 strategy in the Greek region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace (REMTh),
which has served as a test bed for theory on smart specialisation. It goes further in providing appropriate and specific
support for activities in selected regions whose development is lagging behind and in developing a more cross-cutting
approach to key issues regarding growth and governance in those regions.

Two types of regions are regarded as potential targets for this preparatory action, namely low-growth regions and
underdeveloped regions:

— low-growth regions are regions of Member States that have a GDP per capita in purchasing power standards (PPS)
below the EU average in 2012 and that did not converge with the EU average between 2002 and 2012, i.e. regions
in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal,

— underdeveloped regions are regions with a GDP per capita in PPS below 50 % of the EU average in 2011, i.e. a
number of regions in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Romania.

This preparatory action will support eight regions: four low-growth regions and four underdeveloped regions. The
activities carried out will require back-to-back on-site events in each region, including a stakeholder event and a peer
review, support for critical aspects for implementing the RIS3 in each region, and cross-cutting activities such as
evidence-based support for policy development and further development of practical support for regions across Europe
whose development is lagging behind.

The preparatory action will focus on three specific areas of interest: governance, transnational cooperation and
refinement of the RIS3 model. The proposed duration is 18 months.

_Remarks_

The preparatory action will seek to ensure a coherent, coordinated and sustainable approach, to secure, develop and
enhance engagement of all relevant stakeholders (business, academia, research organisations and civil society) and to
create linkage between regional research and innovation smart specialisation strategy/strategies (RIS3) and the existing
national RIS3, given the difficulties of the Romanian innovation system. The action will cover those regions where no
RIS3 has been devised or started, and those whose RIS3 needs to be improved. The preparatory action will also seek to
identify, assess, and support exploitation of the economic potential in a selected region, and to explore its innovation
potential and the scope for its expansion. It will clearly target identification of economic competitive advantages and the
potential for specialisation at regional level based on an entrepreneurship discovery process, establishing a governance
structure and framework for continuous collaboration between businesses and researchers, and support for preparation
of the relevant policy documents. It may also look into how to enhance cooperation and coordination at all levels
(including between national ministries).

_Remarks_

This article is intended to record appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund
in the event of major disasters in the Member States. Assistance should be provided mainly in connection with natural
disasters, but may also be provided, where warranted by the urgency of the situation, to the Member States concerned,
with a deadline being laid down for use of the financial assistance awarded and provision being made for beneficiary
states to substantiate the use made of the assistance they receive. Assistance received which is subsequently offset by
third-party payments, under the ‘polluter pays’ principle, for example, or received in excess of the final valuation of
damage should be recovered.

With the exception of the advance payment, the allocation of the appropriations will be decided on in an amending
budget with the sole purpose of mobilising the European Union Solidarity Fund.

_Remarks_

_Former Article 22 03 01_

This appropriation is intended to cover the continuation of aid under Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 to facilitate the
reunification of Cyprus by encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community with particular
emphasis on economic integration covering the areas specified in that Regulation, notably actions for rural development, restructuring of infrastructure, reconciliation and confidence building measures and scholarships in Member
States for Turkish Cypriot students. The TAIEX instrument will be used for the preparation of legal texts to prepare for
the application of the Union _acquis_ immediately following any political settlement for reunification.

The appropriations will also allow for the continuation of Union financial support to facilitate the intensification of the
work of the Committee on Missing Persons in order to meet the goals of its strategic plan on the faster identification of
missing persons, as well as the implementation of the decisions of the bicommunal Technical Committee on Cultural
Heritage, which should include minorities’ projects.

This appropriation is to be used, amongst others, 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, students and teachers, schools, farmers, small villages, the private
sector) may continue. These activities aim at socio-economic development and 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 pilot project will create a European network of national and local promoters of digital fiscal education and tax
payments. By exchanging best practices and campaign models, an expert group will develop a European online and
social media campaign designed to improve tax payment rates. The project will create a user-friendly online platform
attractive to young people, with an off line application and educational software for individuals and schools.

The project seeks to improve fiscal education for European citizens, especially young people, and to cut tax evasion and
fraud throughout Europe. It will also assess the tax payment impact of digital fiscal education and social media.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will help to strengthen a wide range of civil society organisations, including some new actors not
actively involved in fighting tax fraud and avoidance, so as to build up their expertise and capacity in connection with
European tax rules, enhance awareness-raising efforts and further develop tools and instruments to fight tax avoidance,
tax evasion and tax fraud.

In the light of the challenges revealed by the LuxLeaks and SwissLeaks scandals, it is apparent that the Union-level
capacity of a wide range of organisations (e.g. consumer organisations, NGOs, trade unions and academic communities)
in this field needs to be boosted. Enhanced capacity building for research, training and awareness raising, alliance
building (including with journalists) and greater involvement of civil society experts in the design and implementation
of, and advocacy for, action to combat tax avoidance, tax evasion and tax fraud will create synergies with current Union
efforts to put an end to abusive practices such as aggressive tax planning by multinationals and tax evasion by wealthy
individuals.

European MOVE Week is a Europe-wide f lagship event promoting grassroots sport and physical activity and their
positive impact on European citizens and societies. It is an open European platform coordinated by the International
Sport and Culture Association.

In line with the ambition to get 100 million more Europeans involved in sport and physical activity by 2020, MOVE
Week 2015 took a bottom-up approach involving local communities, sports clubs, schools, workplaces and cities in a
large-scale celebration of sport and physical activity. It was an integral part of the European NowWeMove campaign and
thus made a sustainable contribution to a more physically active and healthier European citizenry.

MOVE Week 2016 will feature at least 1 500 events from all 28 Member States and at least 250 cities, introducing new
sports and physical activity initiatives and highlighting the wide range of successful actions already in place.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

The aim of the preparatory action is to develop an e-platform for European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) countries’
administrations, local authorities, academic centres and civil society, allowing for f lexible yet targeted exchange of
know-how and knowledge in Union affairs and Union.

Due to recent political events and association-related contractual developments with some of the ENP countries,
especially those entering the association phase of their relationship with the Union, a large number of advanced training
modules on the Union and Union-ENP-related matters need to be added to complement the e-platform and policy and
legal advice needs to be provided on request. Given that education and training activities offered through the e-platform
are to further the development of the ENP countries' human capital and the personal development of learners, high
quality of e-learning needs to be guaranteed. In order to ensure that the e-platform helps bridge the gap between
education supply and labour market demand in the ENP countries in connection with Union affairs, evaluation tools
and indicators for learning process performance/results should be developed and introduced as well. This will ensure the
sustainability of the e-platform and allow a map of priorities for providing further support to beneficiaries to be
produced.

The implementation of the preparatory action will be entrusted to the College of Europe (Natolin Campus), which has
thorough and comprehensive knowledge of complex democratic transition processes and EU-oriented structural
transformations, especially as regards EU association agreements and their implementation, as well as extensive
experience of ENP matters, which is of the utmost importance for the e-platform' success.

_Remarks_

Unlike in the case of, for example, tobacco, alcohol and nutrition/obesity risk factors, there is no dedicated European
policy or action plan to promote health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA) for all age groups..

This pilot project will deliver a pan-European physical activity campaign to:

— raise awareness of the many benefits of sport and physical activity among European citizens,

— increase opportunities for people to take part in sport and physical activities by supporting the upscaling of existing
initiatives and delivering cross-border events,

— enable capacity-building for physical activity providers,

— draw the attention of stakeholders in all sectors to the need to address the inactivity pandemic.

The campaign should add value to, and further promote, existing European policy developments (such as the Council
Recommendation on HEPA and the EU Work Plan for Sport) and initiatives (such as the European Week of Sport and
the smaller scale Collaborative Partnerships). It should leverage existing initiatives in Member States and add value to
them or build on them under a unified campaign identity. The campaign will be delivered by one or more physical
activity promotion NGOs, as only they have the networks required for cost-effective delivery of the above aims.

15 02 77 12 Pilot project — A European framework for apprentice mobility: developing European citizenship and skills through
youth integration in the labour market

_Remarks_

1. _Context_

Despite considerable efforts by the EU with the introduction of the Youth Guarantee scheme and the EUR 6,4 billion for
the Youth Employment Initiative, unemployment levels are still very high. In June 2015 youth unemployment stood at
4,7 million, with significant differences persisting among Member States. The number of young people aged 15 to 24
that are still not in employment, education or training (NEETs) is even higher, at more than 6 million. Without decisive
action, this could lead to a ‘lost’ generation.

Although youth employment is mainly a responsibility of Member States, the persistently high levels of youth
unemployment in Europe discredit the European Union project and bode ill for its future. Member States with low
youth unemployment have well-functioning apprenticeship systems and high levels of mobility, which make for a
smooth transition from education and training to the labour market. Apprenticeships are acknowledged as the
‘highway’ to employment, while mobility helps to enhance competence development and is probably the most
efficient route to European citizenship. Therefore, efforts must be combined and there must be a better connection
between these two policy areas so as to allow young European apprentices to gain professional experience in another
Member State and further develop their skills.

**CHAPTER 15 02 — ERASMUS+** _(cont'd)_

_**15 02 77**_ _(cont'd)_

15 02 77 12 _(cont'd)_

The Commission defines apprenticeship programmes as vocational education and training (VET) that combines and
alternates training in a company (periods of practical on-site experience acquisition) and school-based education
(periods of practical and theoretical learning in a school or training centre). If completed, these programmes allow
students to gain a nationally recognised VET qualification. Apprentices ideally benefit from a work contract giving them
the status of apprentice employee and as such receive a wage.

Apprentices with a contract and hosted by a foreign company are in principle still employed by, and under the
responsibility of, their original employer. However, this raises legal issues and may create obstacles to mobility:
employers have to deal with a situation where they make their apprentices available to foreign companies (even if
located in Europe) while they still have to meet their obligations under the original apprenticeship contract during the
mobility period (pay, working hours, terms and conditions of employment, social security, health care, insurance, etc.).

In spite of the progress achieved by the preparatory action ‘Erasmus for apprentices’ and the Erasmus+ programme ‘Key
Action 1 Mobility for VET learners and staff’, in the light of the ET 2020 benchmark for VET mobility (6 %), as well as
the European Alliance for Apprenticeships (EAFA), the long-term mobility of apprentices remains limited.

There are many reasons for this, including the typical age of vocational learners (15 to 19 year olds). When under 18,
they are still minors, which poses liability problems, and they often still find it difficult to be away from home for a
lengthy period. This shows that support infrastructure and integration measures (including language learning, housing,
etc.) are needed. It also explains why the Erasmus+ programme (where the average mobility period is less than 1 month)
is not sufficient and needs to be complemented.

Although the Council’s and Parliament’s recommendations on credit (ECVET) and quality assurance (EQAVET) systems,
as well as the Erasmus+ VET mobility charter, have helped to increase the transparency of and trust between national
VET systems, there are still significant challenges because of the differences between those systems which make it
difficult to validate what is learned during periods abroad.

2. _Project focus_

The overall goal of this pilot project is to facilitate apprentice mobility by testing various models for putting in place the
necessary mobility infrastructure (e.g. services including accommodation, language courses, practical information,
coaching and insurance arrangements) and stakeholder cooperation arrangements and by examining ways and means
of making VET a more attractive option for young people.

Another project aim is to formally recognise and validate learning outcomes and to support the mutual recognition of
diplomas as well as the phasing in of a ‘European Framework for the Mobility of Apprentices’, which is essential in order
to remove the barriers to mobility and prepare the ground for more integrated European apprenticeship schemes.

This translates into two operational objectives:

— firstly, the project will set out to test how to implement cost-efficient cross-border apprentice mobility schemes
between VET institutions, companies and/or other relevant organisations. The project will foster capacity building
among stakeholders with a view to putting in place the infrastructure required for firms in Member States to send
apprentices to, and take in apprentices from, other Member States for periods ranging from 6 to 12 months and to
looking into the different forms of support required,

— secondly, lessons will be learned from the implementation of the projects, as well as from the EP reviews and
research (see below), so as to present viable options for introducing an integrated ‘European Framework for the
Mobility of Apprentices’.

Actions to be taken:

— a review of national legislation and regulations governing VET in each Member State. This will cover the recognition
of skills, validation and equivalence of diplomas, accident insurance coverage, hosting arrangements in training
establishments and the contractual relationships between the young people and the foreign companies or establishments. It will also seek to identify common ground and potential scope for a ‘European Framework for the Mobility
of Apprentices’,

— a survey of companies (international groups, small and medium-sized enterprises, craft firms and farms, including
those that are members of the EAFA) and public institutions (national, local and regional authorities), in order to
understand their vision, their business ethics and their hosting capacities, in particular for young foreign
apprentices; and an assessment of some of the most efficient apprenticeship schemes in place (e.g. Germany,
Netherlands and Austria) and of the agreements existing in some border areas, such as those between Saarland and
Lorraine, Alsace and Baden-Württemberg, and Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein,

— a call for proposals to finance a limited number of trans-European projects involving key VET stakeholders, with a
view to developing sustainable systems and frameworks for cross-border VET apprenticeship mobility and to
preparing and scaling up long-term quality mobility with a minimum duration of 6 months in at least two Member
States. Learning outcomes of mobility schemes should be incorporated into curricula and result in the award of VET
qualification credits. The aims of such projects should include identifying and assessing constraints before, during
and after the mobility experience and looking into opportunities for learners, companies and VET providers, as well
as the potential demand for long-term mobility. The Commission should issue the relevant call for proposals by the
beginning of 2016, which should see the projects up and running by the third quarter of the year,

— a critical review of all current EU instruments for looking into synergies and optimum use of resources to facilitate
apprenticeship mobility. Among those instruments and programmes, particular attention should be paid to: (i)
EURES, for its potential as regards transparency and cross-border matching in this area; (ii) Your First EURES Job, for
financial incentives for young people to go on an apprenticeship in another country; (iii) Erasmus+, for financial
support for a mobility experience lasting up to 12 months as part of an apprenticeship programme; (iv) the Euro
Apprenticeship platform; and (v) the EAFA, to raise awareness at political and operational levels,

— identification of ways and means of optimising the mobilisation of social partners and other relevant regional and
local stakeholders. This work will be carried in partnership with the European Economic and Social Committee and
the Committee of the Regions,

— identification of ways and means of raising awareness of the potential and the benefits of apprenticeships.

The initial annual budget will be around EUR 2 000 000 for all six actions identified above; Action 3 (Commission call
for proposals) will have an annual budget of EUR 1 500 000.

_Remarks_

Europe needs a strong and creative human resource base, mobile across countries and sectors, and has to be attractive
for the best researchers, European and non-European. This will be achieved by structuring and raising excellence in a
substantial share of the high-quality initial training of early stage researchers and doctoral candidates and by supporting
attractive career opportunities for experienced researchers in both public and private sectors worldwide. Researchers are
encouraged to move between countries, sectors and disciplines to enhance their creative and innovative potential.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover EIT’s staff and administrative expenditure, and operational expenditure relating
to the work programme, including the knowledge and innovation communities (KIC) designated by the EIT.

In the framework of the EIT’s Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA) and Regulation (EU) No 1292/2013 of the European
Parliament and of the Council, the EIT will contribute to the general objective and priorities of ‘Horizon 2020 — The
Framework Programme for Research and Innovation’, with the specific objective of integrating the knowledge triangle
of higher education, research and innovation. The EIT aims to give Europe’s innovation capacity a much needed boost
and its overall goal is to create a new European way of delivering essential economic growth and societal benefits
through innovation by helping transform innovative ideas into products and services that create sustainable growth and
jobs.

Knowledge and innovation communities are the operational base of the EIT. They are excellence-driven partnerships,
which bring together the whole innovation web in order to offer new opportunities for innovation in Europe and
generate real impact in terms of new business creation and societal benefits. They address focused innovation topics and
integrate public and private research organisations, innovative industries, higher education institutions, investors, startups and spin-offs. The first three KICs were designated in December 2009 and address the following societal challenges:
climate change mitigation and adaptation (through Climate-KIC), sustainable energy (through KIC InnoEnergy) and
future information and communication society (through EIT ICT Labs). Two additional KICs were designated in 2014 in
the themes of Raw Materials and Innovation for Healthy Living and Active Ageing. In the future, the EIT will expand its
portfolio of KICs to up to three additional ones addressing the topics Food for the Future, Added Value Manufacturing
and Urban Mobility.

The EIT aims to generate tangible impact in the following areas:

— addressing key societal challenges: The KICs combine expertise from across disciplines to ensure innovative and
global responses to complex societal challenges,

— setting a clear business-friendly framework: Turning new ideas into tangible new products, services or business
opportunities will be the main benchmark of the EIT’s and the KICs’ success,

— enhancing the free f low of knowledge through co-location: The KICs are organised around co-location centres —
geographical locations where most or the whole innovation chain is in close proximity. The emphasis is on people
from diverse backgrounds (industry, SMEs, academia, nationality, gender, discipline, etc.) working together with faceto-face contact, thus leading to great mobility of knowledge,

— creating a new generation of entrepreneurs: people with an entrepreneurial mind-set are the drivers of innovation,
thereby keeping our economies and societies moving. The EIT promotes entrepreneurship education as a key feature
of KICs’ Masters and doctoral programmes by shifting the emphasis from ‘learning about’ to ‘learning by doing’. The
Master and PhD programmes will provide students with the entrepreneurial skills they need to succeed in the
knowledge economy, focusing on learning outcomes and the use of innovative teaching methods.

The EIT’s strategic objectives for this period are to consolidate and synergise its operations and to prepare for achieving
the priorities set out in the Strategic Innovation Agenda (2014-2020): firstly, by incentivising growth, impact and
sustainability by continuing to strengthen its partnership with the three existing KICs whilst creating new KICs. By
following an incremental development path in establishing new KICs, the EIT will ensure leading up to a total portfolio
of nine KICs in the period 2014-2020 (equalling the set-up of 40-50 co-location centres across the Union); secondly, by
enhancing the EIT’s impact by fostering entrepreneurship-driven innovation across the Union through wide dissemination of novel innovation models attracting and developing talent from across Europe; and thirdly, by introducing new
means of achieving impact, alongside results-oriented monitoring.

The establishment plan of the EIT is set out in Annex ‘Staff’ to this section.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

Crowdfunding is proving to be a trusted vehicle to transfer money between potential customers and the cultural sector.
Crowdfunding businesses are using a platform and network model — one brand will rule them all — something which
has been seen in social network businesses. Europe’s crowdfunding market is as fragmented, while US-based systems
benefit from a homogenous internal market. In order to maintain an active language policy in the online world and link
it to the cultural sector, an alternative strategy is needed. There are some interesting cases to learn from, including the
hybridised funding structure CrowdCulture in Sweden, which links public funding with private donations.

The pilot project will, in a study, identify and analyse best practices in Europe's crowdfunding market in relation to
cultural organisations.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot

This pilot project follows on from: Commission and European Parliament initiatives (the Agenda for Culture (2007)
which, over the years, has shown the importance of a cultural dimension to Union's external relations), various owninitiative reports by Parliament’s Committee on Culture (European Parliament resolutions of 12 May 2011 on the

action on culture in external relations.

The pilot project will support the establishment of networks of young creative professionals from the Union and
partner countries with a view to encouraging exchanges, networking, professional development and long-term
collaborative relations among young entrepreneurs and players in the cultural and creative sectors in the Union and
partner countries. The Creative Europe programme illustrates the determination to engage at Union level with the
creative and cultural sectors, making a substantial contribution to creativity and economic revitalisation in the Union
and its relations with third countries.

_Remarks_

_Former Item 16 02 77 06_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

The aim of this preparatory action is to enable the cultural committee behind the charter to continue its dialogue with
citizens. The charter is to be seen as a beginning, with the arts community and citizens in Europe being invited to
engage and participate in the ongoing discussion on the many narratives on Europe.

An overarching approach will be taken in the form of networks of citizens, cultural institutions and organisations
spreading knowledge to the public and inviting citizens to play a role. Furthermore a corps of ambassadors will be
established. The task of the ambassadors will be to interact with citizens in the ongoing debate about the new narrative
and to engage with the European public.

Therefore, the preparatory action will continue to:

— conduct events to publicise the charter on the new narrative on Europe in as many Member States as possible,
thereby fostering dialogue and debate,

— support public events with broad media coverage that are organised by cultural, scientific and citizens’ organisations
and focus on the debate on the new narrative on Europe,

— ensure maximum inclusion of citizens by supporting independent media platforms covering the debate on the new
narrative on Europe.

This preparatory action is expected to meet the above three specific objectives.

To support these activities, the Commission works with contractors under framework contracts to deliver the following:
organisation of high-level events, including exhibitions and cultural performances, covering travel and accommodation
arrangements for participants and expert support for specific scheduling of events; logistical and advisory support for
the cultural committee, covering travel and accommodation arrangements and organisation of attendance by members
at dissemination events, as well as expert support for the committee’s and others’ tasks relating to specific scheduling of
events; organisation of events by the Commission Representations in the Member States; communication campaigns,
including through social media, across the Member States.

The financing decision for the specific contracts will be signed in 2016 and pre-financing payments will be made before
the end of 2016. The actions supported will take place mainly in 2016 and early 2017.

_Remarks_

The EFFE pilot project is currently being carried out by the European Festivals Association, together with 24
decentralised partner organisations across Europe and in close cooperation with the Commission's DG Education and
Culture. The EFFE preparatory action will:

— create a labelling mechanism and exchange platform for festivals to capitalise on their potential to contribute to
various EU policies, including those on innovation, social inclusion, education and intercultural dialogue. The
activities carried out will contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy, building on spill-over effects that the creative and
cultural sectors have on a number of other fields such as tourism and regional development,

— promote Europe’s unique core values by giving them visibility and credibility through a strong branding and
communication strategy capable of providing a platform that can reach out to a large number of citizens across
Europe.

On the basis of the pilot project's success, it can be assumed that the preparatory action will continue to channel the
energy of festivals into promotion of a smart, inclusive and sustainable Europe.

_Remarks_

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

_Remarks_

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

The main types of tool concerned are:

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

— complementary online channels like social media, blogs and other web 2.0 technologies,

— the Europe Direct Contact Centre (00800-67891011),

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

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

This appropriation is also intended to:

— fund the restructuring of the Europa site in a more coherent way, to optimise the site for mobile devices, to focus it
on user needs and to professionalise the use of other online channels like social media, blogs and web 2.0. This
includes all types of training, coaching and consultancy services for various groups of stakeholders,

— cover the expenditure relating to hosting and licences costs associated with the Europa site,

— support the exchange of best practices, knowledge transfer and professionalisation by financing visits of digital
communication experts and practitioners,

— cover information campaigns for facilitating access to these sources of information, especially for the operation of
the Europe Direct Contact Centre, the general multilingual information service about Union matters,

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

_Remarks_

Social media and the internet have fundamentally changed access to information and communication between people.
Union institutions should improve the way they use these ground-breaking tools. Union institutions can use social
media networks and online platforms in more innovative ways. Union institutions have no joint communication policy
on the use of these tools. Moreover, these tools are still too often used simply to spread a message, whereas they offer
the opportunity for conversation between politicians and the people they serve and represent. In contrast to other
media (television, radio, newspapers), the internet (and social media in particular) should be used to allow citizens to
interact: to provide policy makers with ideas and to start discussion on policy proposals or projects.

The Union must adapt to online reality in its communication strategy. The Union must allow its citizens to interact and
to contribute. Regrettably Union communication is currently still very much a top-down process which is neither
interactive nor in tune with what the new media can do. Although the social network take-up rate (among Europe’s
internet users) is about 90 %, the Union’s communication strategy does not yet embrace social networks, the internet
and mobile services to improve access to information on Union policies or to involve Union citizens. Some Members of
the European Parliament and Commissioners may be using social networks very actively, yet the main Union
institutions can do a lot to open up, to include citizens better and to make information available, searchable and
shareable.

‘Share Europe Online’ has successfully run as a pilot project since 2012, with positive responses from stakeholders at
both the central institutional level and from the national offices implementing the project.

16 03 77 05 _(cont'd)_

The pilot project sought to improve the way in which Union institutions use these new media, focusing on their local
offices in Member States. The project introduced the practice of social media community management in European
Parliament Information Offices and Commission Representations in order improve the provision of information to
citizens online and make EU-related information more accessible. An important objective was to build the offices’
capacity for enhanced activity on social media by upgrading their staff’s skill base through training and coaching by the
community managers appointed.

The pilot project has helped to narrow the gap in Union institutional communication via social networks in local
languages and on local platforms, thanks to increased and more coordinated activity by the offices involved. The
provision of EU-related content which is appealing, relevant to the national community and optimised for social sharing
is leading to increased levels of interaction. This is fostering dialogue not only between the Union and its citizens, but
also between citizens themselves.

The reach and inf luence of the institutions’ activities are increasing thanks to more targeted communication and
partnerships with opinion leaders and local actors, including grassroots and civil society organisations, extending the
debate on European issues to a much wider public and broadening the European public sphere.

Through better insight into the conversations taking place on social media, the institutions are also improving their
ability to listen and take stock of the concerns of citizens, who are increasingly organising themselves on these
networks. ‘Share Europe Online’ aims to facilitate interaction and access to information, and not to send out opinions
about the Union in a top-down manner, which would risk being perceived as propaganda.

The budget of the ‘Share Europe Online’ preparatory action should serve to consolidate the positive practice started
under the pilot project in order to complete the upgrading of skills and facilitate further organisational change. The aim
is to bring the European Parliament Information Offices and Commission Representations up to the level of expertise
required to take full advantage of the social media so as to foster interaction with citizens.

As in the pilot project, the preparatory action should involve people within the Union institutions as well as outside
experts, civil society and grassroots organisations. Its implementation should be based on working methods jointly
agreed between the Union institutions involved.

The rise of social networks has led businesses to create the job of ‘community manager’. Community managers act as an
interface between a company and its clients; they ‘spread the good word about the company in a language that is
specific to social networks, they manage virtual communities and understand and respond to their needs’. With this
preparatory action, the ‘EU community managers’ introduced as part of the ‘Share Europe Online’ pilot project could
continue to make information about the Union accessible and to represent the various Union institutions and provide
independent information about the Union and its proceedings.

‘Share Europe Online’ should integrate parts of existing programmes such as Europe Direct, Euronews, the various web
platforms, communication strategies and Union information archives. Furthermore, the preparatory action could
continue the work already carried out under the ‘Share Europe Online’ pilot project.

Share Europe Online, implemented jointly by the European Parliament and the Commission, is a response to the need
to bring Union institutions’ communication policies into line with internet and social media realities. It aims to improve
how the Union institutions engage with citizens on social media by stepping up the online presence of European
Parliament Information Offices and Commission Representations in Member States, making their communication more
interactive, targeted and tailored to local concerns as well as to the specificities of national social media landscapes. The
action also aims to address the gap in institutional communication on social networks in local languages. Through the
action, the institutions are seeking ways and means of sustainably improving their communication strategies on social
media from a qualitative and cost-efficiency perspective. The appropriations will be used to provide the Information
Offices and Representations with social-media-related expertise and strategic and technical support via calls for tenders.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

This preparatory action is intended to continue the project which 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 preparatory action will try to reach its target audiences through a range of channels, such as prenatal classes,
hospitals, nurseries and preschool 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.

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterised by an enduring predisposition to generate epileptic seizures, and by the
neurobiological, cognitive, psychological, and social consequences of this condition. The latter include premature death,
stigmatisation, social exclusion and reduced quality of life. While effective treatments are available, barriers exist in
relation to the access to healthcare, resulting in a significant treatment gap. A European survey completed more than a
decade ago indicated that there were insufficient resources and marked disparities in the availability of epilepsy care
among Member States, but the situation at present is unknown. Adding to the difficulties in allocation of adequate
resources, estimates of the prevalence and cost of epilepsy in Europe vary considerably. A recent review by the European
Brain Council estimated that 2,6 million people in Europe have epilepsy whereas a WHO/ILAE/IBE report estimates that
6 million people in Europe suffer from epilepsy. The true prevalence rate of epilepsy can probably vary somewhat
between countries and regions, and possibly also over time. It is unclear, however, if the reasons for the pronounced
variability, both between countries and within countries, in reported prevalence rates in Europe is explained by true
differences in prevalence, by differences in methodology and lack of reliable data, or by a combination.

The burden of epilepsy in Europe is thus a field characterised by considerable knowledge gaps with major unresearched
countries and regions, and by conf licting observations in countries where such research has been carried out. There is
therefore an urgent need for a more definitive European-wide comprehensive study of the burden of epilepsy and of
access to healthcare using appropriate and standardised methodology. Information derived from this study will be
essential for action plans including decisions on allocation of resources for the provision of sustainable, adequate, equal,
and cost-effective epilepsy care across Europe. A targeted approach to the delivery of care is especially important for a
condition like epilepsy which reports a high burden of disease. Configuring the delivery of healthcare services to
alleviating this burden throughout Europe requires accurate data not only on those needing treatment, on attitudes
towards epilepsy in society and on existing barriers for access to healthcare, but in addition on the economic cost of

care.

It is expected that a study on this scale will have a major impact on identifying if there are areas in Europe where
epilepsy can be definitively assessed as being more prevalent than others. It is hoped that the study will also provide
conclusive evidence of the prevalence rate of epilepsy in the Union which would have a major impact on how the
disease is viewed in terms of policy decision-making. Similarly a cost study would allow for better planning to manage
the disease. The study is expected to identify deficiencies in what is currently perceived as fragmented epilepsy care with
pronounced differences in resources between Member States and furthermore the need for the education of public and
healthcare workers to combat the stigma associated with epilepsy. The proposed unique European study will facilitate a
coordinated pan-European action to ensure equal epilepsy care and quality of life for people with epilepsy. It will also
demonstrate the need for individual Member States to improve accessibility of epilepsy care, ultimately improving the
life of people with epilepsy in Europe and reducing the costs of the disease.

_Aim of the project_

The aim of the project is to assess the burden of epilepsy as well as the available epilepsy healthcare in the Union to
build a coordinated information platform across Member States involving NGOs, stakeholders and government
organisations with regard to the burden of epilepsy. Good practices will be identified and recommendations made for
better epilepsy care throughout the Union.

_The strategic objective_ is to provide the necessary data for allocation of adequate resources for high-quality epilepsy care
equal in all Member States thus closing the treatment gap, preventing the devastating consequences of epilepsy, reducing
unemployment, stigma, and isolation, and securing improved quality of life for people with epilepsy, all in line with the
recommendations of the European Parliament’s Written Declaration on Epilepsy.

_Description of the project_

This project would first define a standardised methodology appropriate for the study of the stigma and public attitudes
relating to epilepsy and its incidence, prevalence, and cost, and access to and organisation of epilepsy care. The
proposed action is a standardised, prospective population-based study carried out in representative regions in 8 to 12
Member States. These will be selected to represent all Union regions, East, West, North and South, and to include, in the
main, countries where no data are available. Some countries where data are available from previous research will also be
included to enable validation of the current methodology. Research teams will be established in the participating
countries. These will utilise a multi-source methodology searching, in a defined geographical area, relevant hospitals,
institutions, general practitioners, EEG laboratories to ascertain cases meeting the criteria for epilepsy as defined by the
International League Against Epilepsy. The aim is to capture all age groups, disease duration, and severity. Direct

healthcare cost and non-medical costs as well as indirect costs will be determined prospectively over a one-year period

stigma, quality of life, employment and access to healthcare. The local research teams will use validated questionnaires

More than 10 % of Europeans suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a high risk of progression to total kidney
failure requiring kidney replacement therapy — either dialysis or transplantation. The growing epidemic of diabetes and
cardiovascular diseases is fuelling these numbers. Dialysis is resource-heavy, costing EUR 40 000 to EUR 80 000 per
patient per year, depending on the country and method, while kidney transplantation costs nearly the same as dialysis
in the first year, but less than 40 % of that amount in the following years. The prognosis, including life expectancy and
quality of life, is much better after kidney transplantation than dialysis. Nearly 50 000 Europeans are on a waiting list
for a kidney, and given the current shortage of donated organs, some of them will die waiting.

This pilot project will compare, from a macro-economic perspective, the various treatment modalities for CKD in
Member States by investigating the factors that inf luence the treatment choice (by patient or doctor) and the impact of
that choice on healthcare budgets. In addition, the project will examine obstacles to improving kidney donation and
transplantation rates. It will answer the question: ‘Why is there such an enormous variability in practice in the overall
management of CKD and access to transplantation in Europe, and how could these practices be harmonised in order to
ensure equal and better quality of care while reducing costs?’

In times of economic crisis, it is crucial to find ways of improving the efficiency of the healthcare systems in the
Member States. In the treatment of CKD, two main treatment modalities are currently available: dialysis and kidney
transplantation.

With regard to dialysis, it is necessary to assess which type of dialysis would give a better outcome from two
standpoints: first, for the patient (improved quality of life and better acceptance) and second, from a health economics
point of view.

Transplantation is not used as frequently as dialysis, despite the fact that it makes for a far better quality of life and is
more cost-efficient. Hence, an assessment of the different national organisational practices which play a role in
facilitating transplantation (i.e. different organ donor policies, different consent systems, the existence of transplant
coordinators, bilateral or multilateral agreements for cross-border exchange of organs between Member States, etc.) is
essential in order to identify and support the practices which ultimately have a significant effect on transplantation
waiting times.

These differences in donor policies greatly affect transplantation waiting times, and long waiting times on dialysis have
major deleterious effects on kidney transplant candidates:

— the death rate on dialysis is higher when compared with the survival rate post-transplant,

— the longer the waiting time on dialysis, the lower the transplantation success and patient survival rate,

— finally, the costs of dialysis are much higher than those associated with a functioning kidney transplant, meaning
that the longer the waiting time on dialysis is, the higher the total expenditure will be.

All these factors have a significant impact not only on access to transplantation but also on overall spending for the
treatment of CKD. Therefore, it is critical to gather the necessary information about their impact on final treatment
outcomes, in terms of both quality of care and cost-efficiency.

At present, some Member States are better organised than others with regard to dialysis treatment and kidney
transplantation. This stems from the fact that some Member States have included the role of transplant donor
coordination in their national structures and have established collaboration through specialised networks such as
Eurotransplant and Scandiatransplant.

This project will assess the situation in the Member States, sharing and building on the expertise and data from existing
initiatives and registers. In addition, the project will take into account the work done in the mid-term review of the
action plan on organ donation and transplantation, and other projects in the field, such as ETPOD, EULID, Elupsy and
the Accord joint action, which focuses on living donation.

Given that advances in the implementation of health policies, including donation policies and waiting list policies, are
the responsibility of the competent national authorities, the project will involve those authorities in cooperation with
specialised organisations such as the European Society of Organ Transplantation (ESOT) and the European Transplant
Coordinators Organisation (ETCO) and give them access to those organisations’ expert input.

_Expected outcomes_

In summary, investigating the many factors that inf luence the choice of CKD treatment for kidney patients and the
different organisational practices which play a role in facilitating kidney transplantation will help to bring about better
and more cost-efficient kidney disease treatment practices in Member States.

The overall project goal is to provide an overview of the different treatment modalities and the factors that inf luence the
selection of those modalities in Member States, with a view to harmonising end-stage kidney disease treatments and
improving the availability of transplantation across Member States, while at the same time reducing healthcare costs and
improving the quality of care.

It is expected that some of the Member States participating in the project will be able to use it as a stepping stone
towards successful implementation of Directive 2010/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July
[2010 on standards of quality and safety of human organs intended for transplantation (OJ L 207, 6.8.2010, p. 14) and](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=08&jj=06&type=L&nnn=207&pppp=0014&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

The project is for society as a whole, with special emphasis on families, economic and social actors and health
professionals as potential social activists to support organ donors and recipients.

Awareness-raising activities will take place in schools and vocational training establishments, helping to increase organ
and tissue donation and improve distribution processes and transplantation rates.

Expressed and presumed consent will be encouraged in order to increase the number of donors.

Good practices, extending to telemedicine, will be shared. Recommendations will be made in collaboration with

_Remarks_

_Aims:_

— to better understand the specific health inequalities experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex
(LGBTI) people, focusing in particular on overlapping inequalities stemming from discrimination on other grounds
(e.g. age, disability, race and ethnicity) and the barriers faced by health professionals when providing care to those

groups,

— to provide health professionals with specific tools to ensure that they have the right skills and knowledge to
overcome those barriers and contribute to the reduction of health inequalities.

_Description_

This project follows on from the Fundamental Rights Agency project ‘Public authorities and fundamental rights of LGBT
people’, in which healthcare professionals were interviewed on specific health inequalities faced by LGBTI people. It will
complement pilot projects ‘Reducing health inequalities: building expertise and evaluation of actions’ (Item 17 03 77
12) and ‘Developing evidence-based strategies to improve the health of isolated and vulnerable persons’ (Item 17 03 77
13), which address health inequalities, but not as experienced by LGBTI people. To bridge that gap will be the specific
focus of this project.

_Outcomes:_

— information will be gathered on specific health inequalities experienced by LGBTI people; particular attention will be
paid to those within this group who are at risk of inequality as a result of age, disability, race or ethnic background,

— health professionals will be aware of both those health inequalities and the barriers that they themselves face when
providing care to those groups. They will be equipped to overcome these barriers through training modules,

— training modules will be made available to all health stakeholders across the Union.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot

The Commission communication of 4 April 2014 entitled ‘On effective, accessible and resilient health systems’
(COM(2014) 215 final) stressed that accessibility to healthcare was one of the three pillars of the Union agenda for
effective, accessible and resilient health systems.

Access to healthcare in rural areas is a particular problem in various Member States. As populations move to urban
areas, resulting in the decay of small and medium-sized cities, the issue of adequate healthcare provision in rural areas
will grow in importance in other Member States as well.

The project will help to reduce disparities in healthcare accessibility and to ensure equitable access in rural areas within
and among the Member States. Good practices on policies and tools used to improve access to healthcare in rural areas
will be identified and exchanged, taking into account factors such as access to facilities and to medical professionals, as
well as the cost and affordability of healthcare, the optimum size of healthcare services and the scope for cross-border
collaboration between Member States. The specific activities to be carried out under this project will be laid down after
a consultation process among Member States and stakeholders in the field of public health and healthcare policies.

_Remarks_

Rare diseases (85 % are genetic) are life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases which are of low prevalence (less
than 5 per 10 000). It is estimated that between 5 000 and 8 000 distinct rare diseases exist today, affecting between
6 % and 8 % of the population (between 27 and 36 million people in the EU).

About 20-25 % of rare diseases are rare congenital malformations (isolated or multiple, including malformation
syndromes).

Eurocat has moved its databases and administrative structures to the Joint Research Centre at Ispra, where the rare
diseases platform is sited. However combining malformation registries to form a rare diseases registry for rare
malformations (isolated and multiple, including rare malformation syndromes) will require targeted action and the
collection of additional information. That will need to be done at national level and additional resources will be
necessary. Aim of the pilot project: to establish a Polish Registry of Rare Congenital Malformations (as part of the Rare
Diseases Registry), drawing on the structure, organisation and experience of the Polish Registry of Congenital
Malformations. This model, if successful, can be implemented also in other Member States.

The pilot project will complement the JRC-SANTE development of an EU platform on rare diseases registration to
provide a common access point to data collections on rare diseases across Europe. The pilot project will help in
updating policy-relevant and scientifically sound public health indicators and will provide information to other Member
States on how to develop national rare disease registration systems based on existing congenital anomalies registries.

_Tasks:_

— to use the PRCM platform to produce public health indicators for a special group of rare diseases — rare
malformations (isolated and rare malformation syndromes — about 20 to 25 % of all rare diseases),

— to produce prevalence data and surveillance reports (including trends and clusters where relevant) on a group of
selected rare diseases in Poland.

_Methods:_

The PRCM is an excellent model for exploring whether a birth defects registry can be extended to form a rare diseases
registry. The PRCM Central Working Group includes 10 experienced clinical geneticists and its expertise can be applied
to the project. PRCM collaborates with all genetic clinics in Poland and over 1 500 clinics, wards and outpatient care
units across Poland. In order to extend the PRCM to form a rare diseases registry, additional data will be collected and
analysed. Collaboration with patients associations will be introduced.

_Remarks_

The purpose of this pilot project is to set up a support structure specifically for women, in particular during pregnancy.
The aim is to reduce the number of children exposed to alcohol in the womb or suffering from foetal alcohol syndrome
(FAS) by taking practical steps such as referring women with an alcohol problem to prevention specialists, coordinating
support efforts, setting up discussion groups specifically for women, providing families with support during informal
meetings between them and healthcare professionals, and encouraging voluntary participation by women in primary
prevention efforts.

By reaching out to women in difficulties, bringing them together, providing them with medical and social support and
involving their families, the support structure will seek to foster a strong commitment on the women’s part to receiving
treatment for their addiction and to offer a dedicated, comprehensive and coordinated care package overseen by
professionals.

_Background_

Prenatal exposure to alcohol and the societal problems it causes are an extremely serious public health issue. FAS rates
currently stand at 1 % to 2 % of live births in Europe as a whole, and more than 4 % in some communities (in Italy,
Croatia and Réunion). It is estimated that 1 % of the children of the 20 % of women who have reported drinking during
their pregnancy will suffer from problems that are not always detected at birth.

Female problem drinking and binge drinking among young people are currently increasing in all the Member States,
thus heightening the risks associated with inappropriate alcohol consumption. In response to this situation, on 29 April
2015 Parliament adopted a resolution calling on the Commission to devise a new European alcohol strategy.

In many places, there is still a taboo about women drinking, and those who do so are stigmatised. The blame is placed
on the drinker, not the drink. A mother who suffers from the disease of alcoholism is doubly guilty, firstly because of
her abusive habit and secondly because she is seen as a bad mother whose children could be placed in care. Experience
shows that women who are struggling with an alcohol problem are extremely unlikely to turn to formal support and
addiction treatment services. Thought therefore needs to be given to what is stopping such women from accessing
treatment, and they need to be given the support and follow-up they require.

Identifying at-risk persons at the earliest possible age and offering them appropriate medical and paramedical care and
social, educational and occupational support are of key importance, not only in order to ensure that everyone gets a
proper chance in life but also because of the economic and social consequences of not doing so. Making sure that
alcohol problems are identified at the earliest possible stage in a pregnancy — and ideally before its onset — so that the
women concerned may be helped to stop drinking must be a priority.

Although high-quality addiction treatment is available in most parts of Europe, there is no special provision for the
specific needs of women struggling with an alcohol problem. Such women are in need of someone who is willing to
listen, to take them seriously, to reassure them and to offer them support without interfering with their personal lives.

_Aims_

The aim of this pilot project is to demonstrate the need for, and feasibility of, support structures in this area. It could
subsequently be transformed into a preparatory action that could then form the basis for a European programme to
address problems arising in connection with prenatal alcohol exposure. The pilot project must be implemented
alongside, and must complement, the action being taken by the WHO in this area, and must draw on the outcomes
and findings of the European Action Plan on Youth Drinking and on Heavy Episodic Drinking (Binge Drinking).

_Assessment_

The pilot project will be continuously assessed throughout its two-year term. That assessment will focus on a number of
indicators (number of women taking part, number of applications, risk reduction, etc.) and on whether the project is
producing the results expected of it.

_Budget_

The budget will cover the cost of materials (equipment and supplies) for the project itself, the remuneration of the
healthcare professionals involved and the necessary advertising costs.

_Place of implementation_

The pilot project could be carried out in one region of the European Union and then extended to cover the other EU
regions as part of a European programme to address problems arising in connection with prenatal alcohol exposure
that will interlink the regional support structures and allow information and best practice to be pooled.

_Remarks_

MentALLY will provide evidence- and practice-based knowledge to steer a process towards improved European mental
health care by competent, ref lective professionals who collaborate effectively within and between the lines of a wellorganised mental health care system that has the capacity to treat everyone who needs it. Such a process is necessary.
Mental health problems are highly prevalent in Europe and there is an apparent mismatch of care. There is a lack of
treatment, as more than half of the people with mental health problems do not receive the professional care they need.
There is a risk that their problems will worsen and require more intensive and costly treatment. There is also
overtreatment of clients receiving unnecessary psychopharmacological treatment or remaining too long in mental
health care. Psychotherapeutic treatments have been proven to be effective in reducing mental health problems and their
burden, yet the use of psychotropic medication is often more common than psychotherapy. The mismatch of care is at
least partly due to a lack of proper assessment and diagnosis of mental health problems, a lack of accessibility of mental
health care, especially for vulnerable groups (e.g. women, people who are unemployed, who have a low income, or who
are from an ethnic minority background), a lack of coordination and collaboration between primary and specialised
mental health care, a lack of clear referral processes, a lack of a coherent vision and policy with regard to the role of
different mental health care workers (general practitioners, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists), especially in primary
care, a lack of a coherent vision and policy with regard to innovation, and a lack of good practices, especially for
vulnerable and difficult-to-treat clients. Furthermore, mental health literacy (MHL — the knowledge and beliefs about
mental disorders that aid recognition, management or prevention) can be increased by developing efficient mental
health education tools and early intervention recommendations. The latter is of critical importance because current
knowledge, capacity and provision are highly variable across Member States.

_Objectives:_

— to develop and test a multi-applicable framework across Member States and to increase access to mental health care,

**CHAPTER 17 03 — PUBLIC HEALTH** _(cont'd)_

_**17 03 77**_ _(cont'd)_

— to increase primary care professionals’ competencies, evaluate the organisation and capacity of care systems, and
improve client outcomes,

— to enhance MHL within the general population as well as in relation to specific (vulnerable) populations (e.g.
women, the elderly and ethnic minorities).

Firstly, developing a multi-applicable framework to increase access to mental health care requires close collaboration
with relevant stakeholders within the field of mental health care. A thorough mapping of mental health care lines and
facilities in Member States will generate different descriptions of mental health care trajectories, with their strengths and
weaknesses. As different models of care lead to different patient outcomes, recommendations will be made to optimise
referral processes relating to mental disorders. An inventory of mental health care facilities and patient trajectories will
identify the improvements and actions that are necessary at the organisational and capacity level within Member States.
Knowledge exchange relating to best practices as well as weak spots within mental health care facilities will inform the
development of a European strategic plan. The results of this exercise will also be translated into (input for) policy advice
and a dissemination strategy that involves agenda-setting and opening up space for public debate. Dissemination will be
oriented towards clients in order to make sure that they are able to make well-informed decisions about how to cope
with/seek help for mental health disorders (see also the third objective). This will avoid excessive treatment of
individuals in mental distress who do not need (expensive) specialised help and also a lack of treatment of individuals
who do need specialised help.

Secondly, a focus on change at the level of mental health care professionals will lead to the development of competencebased training modules for professionals, guides for enhancing feedback dynamics between professionals, and good
practices for treatment of mental health disorders. Training tools, training protocols, and train-the-trainer guides will be
developed, as will (online) monitoring instruments to evaluate whether or not implementation is successful. These
instruments will also be ideally suited to follow-up activities, communication with other professionals and (international) benchmarking. Examples of deliverables in this category are an evidence-based referral tool (decision tree) for
general practitioners, a competence-based training programme for brief interventions for clinical psychologists working
in primary care, and collaboration guidelines for professionals within mental health care to enhance feedback and
communication processes, and to enhance multidisciplinary diagnostics.

Thirdly, a focus on change at the level of (potential) clients will involve creating conditions in which clients are wellinformed and independent. This calls for a focus on tools to enhance the analysis of linguistic framings relating to
mental health discourse and public debate. Organising sources of MHL in a European database for ‘corpus linguistics’
(i.e. a database that includes a large body of ‘real world’ texts that allows the study of language) will allow for a better
study of the (linguistic) framing of mental health and stigma-related issues. Also, evaluating the evidence-based potential
of new technologies (e.g. social media, eHealth and mHealth psychotherapeutic tools) and the construction of a database
with evidence-based electronic best practices will enhance MHL and self-help strategies in diverse populations. Finally,
identifying correlates/predictors of low levels of MHL and low levels of help-seeking behaviour will aid in developing
guidelines for evidence-based treatments that increase MHL in vulnerable and/or stigmatised groups.

_Network and added value_

The focus of this project requires an elaborate, balanced, and skilful network that has access to relevant scientific as well

southern regions of Europe. Furthermore, the network will contain complementary academic expertise in the field of
clinical psychology, mental health and stigma, educational studies and discourse analysis, and public health studies.
Academic expertise within the field of clinical psychology will include knowledge on neurological and developmental
disorders (e.g. ADHD and autism spectrum disorders), psychotherapeutic and psychiatric services, the promotion of
positive mental health, stigma (related to mental health), mental health policy, and online psychotherapeutic interventions. Furthermore, specific expertise on ethics (integrity issues, moral reasoning, ethics in health care), public health
issues; and health promotion will be included. Necessary expertise within educational studies will include knowledge on
rhetorical criticism of psychiatry, agency in contemporary public debate, stylistics, metaphor theory and analysis,
medical humanities/health communication, discourse analysis, and corpus methods.

_Remarks_

The risk of violence, and the perception of the risk of violence on the part of patients with severe mental disorders, is a
pan-European public health problem, not only because of the potential for injury and death to patients, staff, relatives
and strangers, but also because of the counter-therapeutic effects that both violence and the measures deployed to
prevent violence entail. The stigma of mental illness is intimately linked to the public’s perception of the fear of violence
by the mentally ill. These pressures can in turn inf luence clinicians’ and even policymakers’ decision-making. Recent,
dramatic events, such as the Germanwings disaster, have emphasised the importance of this problem in the eyes of the
European public, highlighting the need to develop preventive measures and treatment strategies that are able to identify
and reduce the risk of violent behaviour by people suffering from severe mental disorders, whether to themselves or to
other people. Although these risks are small in absolute terms and make a small contribution to societal violence,
clarification of rates and trends should help address public myths about the dangerousness of psychiatric patients. In
contrast, it is estimated that more than half of all suicides in European countries are committed by people with
underlying mental disorders. Thus, the pilot project will also examine suicide in forensic psychiatric patients on release,
and also suicide attempts. The latter lead to repeated hospital admissions, and can have profound damaging
consequences for the morale of medical staff.

**CHAPTER 17 03 — PUBLIC HEALTH** _(cont'd)_

17 03 77 23 _(cont'd)_

The perceived threat of violence results in greater use of coercive measures such as involuntary hospitalisation, restraint,
seclusion, and enforced medication, which patients and their carers almost unanimously perceive as traumatic and even
counter-therapeutic and can, in turn, trigger aggressive responses from patients instead of engagement and cooperation.
Furthermore involuntary admission to secure forensic units after rare but serious acts of violence linked to severe
mental disorders can lead to prolonged hospital stays, and consume a disproportionately large proportion of limited
mental health budgets.

The pilot project will focus on forensic psychiatric services, which first and foremost is care for those patients with a
mental disorder who pose a risk to others, though who also have increased rates of suicide. New out- and in-patient
services for the management of such patients are growing in many but not all European countries. New models of
treatment for this often marginalised group of patients are being developed, including for example out-patient forensic
assertive community treatment teams and specialised forensic clinics. However, across Europe, service design, intervention strategies and legal frameworks for patients at risk of violence, or who have acted violently, vary greatly. They
have never been comparatively evaluated in terms of patient satisfaction, therapeutic effectiveness, risk reduction,
recovery and cost, yet such services in some countries consume 20 % of resources in caring for less than 1 % of
psychiatric patients. This lack of reliable comparative data has prevented many European countries from benefiting
from the innovative strategies developed in those states which have been able to deploy greater resources in innovation
and research, and have tested potentially more therapeutic and efficient models of service delivery.

A better understanding of the factors associated with risk of violence to self and others in patients with severe mental
disorders, an assessment of the best tools capable of predicting risk, for decision-making, and an evaluation of effective
treatments will assist clinicians, managers, lawmakers and governments in the planning and evolution of services and in
the development of preventive and supportive measures. Moreover, comparison of national variations in pathways into
and out of care, including specialised secure services, in different countries is critically needed at this time, and a
European project involving different countries, with different health and legal systems, will provide valuable information
in order to improve the quality of mental health care for this difficult, marginalised but also hugely costly population.

_Remarks_

_Overview_

Acknowledging that current healthcare access measurements have been proven to have some limitations with regard to
providing adequate, accurate, reliable and timely information on access in the EU, the pilot project will develop and
pilot a composite new set of healthcare access measurements and/or the improvement of existing measurements, in
order to address the different needs of various healthcare stakeholders.

Its fundamental aim is to enable the development of policies that address health inequalities and barriers to access on
the basis of objective and comparable information and help improve the sustainability and performance of healthcare
systems in Member States.

_Objectives and expected outcome:_

— review of existing measurements and indicators as well as the different aspects of access across the EU,

— development, through consultation with key stakeholders, of possible new indicators and/or improvement of
existing indicators, to ensure that groups vulnerable to exclusion are reached and a ‘total picture’ of access to
healthcare in countries and regions is thus acquired,

— pilot testing and subsequent refinement of those indicators in geographically, economically and culturally diverse
Member States,

— exploration and possible validation of a new set of indicators and/or of existing indicators improved upon with the
relevant European and international organisations,

— strategy and roadmap for scale-up and implementation, focusing on three disease priorities: (a) non-communicable
diseases; (b) communicable diseases; (c) rare diseases.

The main outcome of the pilot project will be a set of new and complementary indicators and/or the improvement of
existing indicators, in order to assess patient access to healthcare. This will be a valuable resource to enable
policymakers to monitor the population’s access to healthcare at European, national and regional level. It will allow
access monitoring and comparison at EU level to help policymakers develop programmes and policies to reduce
inequities in health. Currently the definitions of access are not clear and consistent across Member States and do not fit
into a coherent conceptual framework. The pilot project will use an intersectoral and multidisciplinary approach to
create consensus among different stakeholders on the concept and dimensions of healthcare access and its
measurement. Patient organisations need to be involved in this analysis to ensure that there is information about
semi-informal access. The project will last two years. When implementing the project, the Commission should take into
account the opinion on access to healthcare of the Expert Panel on Effective Ways of Investing in Health.

17 03 77 24 _(cont'd)_

_Justification_

Despite major improvements in healthcare systems across the EU, marked differences and inequities in patient access to
quality healthcare exist within and between Member States. Socio-economic status, place of residence, gender, ethnic
group and level of education are the most common factors that affect access to healthcare. The recent economic crisis
has contributed to a significant widening of the gap between people of different socio-economic status and, as a result,
the social gradient in health has intensified. The ageing of the population and the exacerbation of inequalities in health
by the economic crisis suggest that access should be addressed at EU level in a way that supports countries and enables
them to identify and implement effective solutions. To achieve this goal, it is imperative to measure healthcare access in
a common, evidence-based and effective manner.

The Commission, the World Health Organisation, the OECD and other international organisations have highlighted the
importance of accurate and reliable measurements for healthcare access, in order to ensure that healthcare systems are
transparent and accessible and meet the needs of the population. Moreover, research evidence suggests that the social
determinants of health impacting the accessibility of the healthcare system are resulting in increased gaps between and
within Member States.

A common disadvantage of the current indicators is that they measure self-perception of unmet needs for care, but do
not allow an objective measurement of access. In many cases, the current self-reported measurements for healthcare
access are designed to assess utilisation of health services and fail to evaluate access in difficult-to-reach (vulnerable)
populations. In fact, they evaluate access in patients who can access (in financial and other terms) the healthcare system.
This is a critical gap, because vulnerable populations are suffering health inequalities disproportionately and thus they
face multiple barriers to healthcare access. As a result, a huge amount of resources are spent without creating the right
knowledge base upon which policymakers can act.

In many cases, national surveys used to assess access do not allow comparability across countries, while the methods
and approaches are subject to inherent limitations. Nationally collected data is affected by the policy priorities in each
country concerning the indicators made available and the health issues prioritised. Furthermore, the self-reported
measurements that are commonly used to assess access are vulnerable to bias, especially as regards questionnaire
development and research design, inquiry wording and cultural and psychosocial factors. What are missing are allencompassing indicators providing information not only on the availability, adequacy, appropriateness and affordability
of healthcare services, but also on the quality of those services and the use that individuals make of them.

Evaluation of access remains general and, in some cases, superficial and contradictory. The current healthcare access
measurements cannot provide adequate and appropriate information matching the needs, aims and role of each
stakeholder. Moreover, there is duplication between the current tools assessing access as well as a quality deficit and
significant gaps. Since healthcare access requires process and performance indicators simultaneously, a composite but
feasible measurement system is needed.

_Remarks_

It is generally acknowledged that the clinical picture observed in many chronic diseases (such as diabetes, cardiovascular
diseases, neurological disorders and rheumatic diseases) is the result of the combination of different components:
disease activity, damage consequent to the disease itself or the treatment, co-morbidities, drug toxicity, quality of life and
disease burden on patients. Therefore, optimum treatment and management of chronic diseases means that these
aspects have to be factored in.

_Remarks_

The key objective of this pilot project is the primary prevention of breast cancer in municipalities where there is a high
incidence of polluting agents for exceptional reasons, such as soil and water contamination because of illegal disposal of
toxic waste, extremely polluting factories or sites where waste treatment has a dangerous impact on the environment.

It has been proved that, in those areas, tumour risk is much higher than in ‘normal’ areas; and it is therefore vital not
only to develop cures and boost research into cancer therapies, but also to raise awareness of the importance of
prevention, especially among young women. At this stage, prevention of course be much more effective and can stop
cancers evolving into dangerous stages.

The pilot project is targeted at girls in the final years of secondary school and university courses in areas, as described
above, where it has been proven that tumour rates are statistically much higher than average.

The aim of the project is to increase awareness on all actions and factors that could prevent breast cancer. The focus will
be on teaching about behaviours and lifestyles that could increase the chances of tumour development, such as alcohol
or tobacco abuse or poor nutrition habits.

Most importantly, as part of the pilot project there will be arrangements for girls to contact doctors, who can explain
what breast cancer is and how to detect it through breast self-examination. Self-examination is one of the best ways of
detecting cancer, with a view to treating it at an early stage. The pilot project will therefore support frontal classes with
doctors and experts in order explain these issues.

Prevention is not the cure; but in areas where there is a higher risk it can be very effective, obviating the need for
aggressive treatments and saving lives.

_Remarks_

A study financed and published in 2010 estimated that every year in Europe approximately 89 million tonnes of food is
wasted for various reasons, such as poor management of food stocks by big retailers and unsustainable shopping
behaviour. With that trend continuing, it is expected that, without any clear prevention and management measures at
EU level, the volume of food wasted will increase to more than 126 million tonnes. Member States have adopted a series
of food waste prevention initiatives, including information tools and campaigns, logistics improvements and food
redistribution programmes.

This pilot project will add to EU efforts to tackle food waste, in particular through effective promotion and
implementation of guidelines to facilitate redistribution of food in the EU. The Commission will develop such guidelines
within an existing legal framework, together with the relevant authorities in the Member States and stakeholders
representing various actors in the food chain (farmers, food manufacturers, retailers, food service and the hospitality
sector).

For each Member State, the project will therefore involve an overview of the policy/regulatory framework for food
redistribution, an analysis of policies/legislation impacting on food redistribution, stakeholder research, meetings and
consultations promoting dialogue with policymakers at national level, and lessons learned and best practices within the
European Federation of Food Banks and various information campaigns..

Despite the fact that the EU has no competence to set up food banks in Member States, establishing a sound framework
for food redistribution in the EU could help Member States adopt a series of food redistribution programmes, e.g.
involving food banks. Evidence shows that such programmes have a positive socio-economic impact on local
communities, especially on disadvantaged groups, by combating hunger and malnutrition, creating jobs and
improving individualsÉ’ accountability.

_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 inf luenza, 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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the Union’s contribution to measures for eliminating obstacles to the free
movement of goods in these sectors, for veterinary support and as back-up action.

It consists in providing financial assistance:

— for the purchase, storage and formulation of foot-and-mouth antigens and of different vaccines,

— for the development of marker vaccines or tests that can distinguish between sick and vaccinated animals.

_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.

This appropriation is intended to cover curative actions to combat the pests and diseases threatening agricultural and
horticultural crops, forests and landscape, among them the spread of exotic invasive species and diseases (such as pine
nematode and others), which are becoming more frequent and are spreading.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

The main objective of this preparatory action is to create a line of funding for the final benefit of victims of torture
whether Union citizens or migrants present in the Union. It will enable rehabilitation centres to offer victims of torture
as full rehabilitation as possible thus empowering torture victims to function properly in the society and to integrate
faster in the European economies.

The preparatory action will cover the following actions:

— to provide victims with access to holistic rehabilitation such as multi-disciplinary support and counselling, including
physical and psychotherapeutic treatment, legal services, and socio-economic support, by providing funds for the
costs of rehabilitation centres for victims of torture (new or existing ones),

— to support the capacity building of rehabilitation centres via networking activities (in and outside Europe), research,
training, development of common tools, exchange of good practices, peer supervision as a prevention of vicarious
trauma, etc.,

— to support activities aiming at the empowerment of torture victims themselves and, in general, at supporting the
integration capacities of torture victims in European countries,

— to support advocacy actions aiming at ensuring that Member States comply with the right to rehabilitation as
defined in General Comment 3 to Article 14 of Convention Against Torture.

Since 2011, the implementation of the approved pilot project has been a success. The first call for proposals has been
launched in October 2011 and resulted in 31 applications received from centres in 14 Member States. The total of
requested grants in the Union amounted to EUR 6 000 000, showing the great need for financial support among
rehabilitation centres. Out of the 31 proposals, only 4 projects have been financed.

The second call for proposal was launched in July 2012 with 25 applications submitted from various countries. As
EUR 2 000 000 were available in 2012 (compared to only EUR 1 000 000 in 2011), 7 projects have been selected.

The funds needed to support all the projects which applied for funding amounted to approximately EUR 8 000 000,
showing the relevance of the fund and the needs to be covered.

The number of applications received so far demonstrates the needs in the Union for supporting the rehabilitation of
torture victims.

The general aim of this programme is to reinforce the democratic functioning of the Union by providing European
citizens with the right to participate in the democratic life of the Union by way of a European citizens’ initiative (ECI).

Part of the appropriation will be used to establish a ‘one-stop shop’ in each Member State where citizens can be given
the best professional guidance on ECI procedures.

This appropriation is also intended to cover communication, administration and support costs for the ECI. It will also
cover activities to eliminate the hurdles to using the ECI and to harmonise further the procedure and requirements for
the submission of ECIs across Europe.

It will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives set out in Article 179 of the Treaty on the Functioning of
the European Union, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research
Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and
the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for
technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe
and ensuring optimum use thereof.

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.

This appropriation will be used in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 — the
[framework programme for research and innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (OJ L](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2013&mm=12&jj=20&type=L&nnn=347&pppp=0081&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover:

— 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 Commission and beneficiaries,

— expenditure on external personnel in Union delegations (contract staff, local staff or seconded national experts) for
the purposes of devolved programme management in Union delegations in third countries or for internalisation of
tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as the additional logistical and infrastructure costs, such as
the cost of training, meetings, missions and renting of accommodation directly resulting from the presence in
delegations of external personnel remunerated from the appropriations entered against this item,

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information systems, awareness-raising, training, preparation and
exchange of lessons learnt and best practices, as well as publications activities and any other administrative or
technical assistance directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme,

— research activities on relevant issues and the dissemination thereof,

— expenditure related to the provision of information and communication actions, including the development of
communication strategies and corporate communication of the political priorities of the Union.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public

— 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 Commission and beneficiaries. This

objectives set out in the Treaty on European Union,

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

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Without prejudice to the final decision on the establishing of a Mission Support Platform for the CSDP missions, this
appropriation is intended to cover administrative support expenditure for the Mission Support Platform.

Any revenue from the CSDP missions contributing to the cost of centralised support services entered in Article 5 5 0 of
the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this item in accordance with
Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR
440 000.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of preparatory measures to establish the conditions for Union
actions in the field of the CFSP and the adoption of the necessary legal instruments. It is intended to provide funding for
further measures to increase coherence and cooperation between Member States in the area of the CFSP. It could cover
initiatives to enhance equipment compatibility and establish a collective purchasing policy for equipment and supplies.
Furthermore it covers evaluation and analysis measures ( _ex ante_ evaluation of means, specific studies, organisation of
meetings, fact-finding on the ground). In the field of Union crisis management operations and for European Union
Special Representatives (EUSRs), in particular, preparatory measures may, inter alia, serve to assess the operational
requirements for an envisaged action, to provide for a rapid initial deployment of personnel and resources (e.g. mission
expenses, purchase of equipment, pre-financing of running and insurance costs in the start-up phase), or to take the
necessary measures on the ground to prepare for the launching of the operation. It may also cover experts supporting
Union crisis management operations on specific technical issues (e.g. identification and assessment of procurement
needs) or security training for staff to be deployed to a CFSP mission/EUSR team.

It also covers follow-up measures and audits of common foreign and security policy measures and the financing of any
expenditure on the regularisation of previously closed measures.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications
directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measures coming under Items 19 03 01 01, 19 03 01 02, 19
03 01 03, 19 03 01 04 and 19 03 01 07.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover all the expenditure connected with the appointment of European Union Special
Representatives (EUSRs) in accordance with Article 33 of the Treaty on European Union.

EUSRs should be appointed with due regard for gender equality and gender mainstreaming policies, and the
appointment of women EUSRs should therefore be promoted.

This appropriation covers expenditure on the salaries of EUSRs and on setting up their teams and/or support structures,
including staff costs other than those relating to staff seconded by Member States or Union institutions. It also covers
the costs of any projects implemented under the direct responsibility of an EUSR.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

_Remarks_

_Former Article 19 05 01 and former Item 19 05 77 02_

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation with third countries to advance and promote Union and mutual
interests under the Partnership Instrument, in particular with developed and developing countries which play an
increasingly prominent role in the world affairs, including foreign policy, international economy and trade, multilateral
forums, global governance and in addressing challenges of global concern or where the Union has significant interests.
This cooperation includes measures supporting the Union’s bilateral, regional or multilateral relationships in addressing
challenges of global concern, the implementation of the international dimension of the ‘Europe 2020’ strategy, trade
and investment opportunities and public diplomacy and outreach activities.

Part of these appropriations will also be used to implement the project ‘Cooperation with Northern and Southern
Transatlantic Dimension’, which aims at increasing a broader transatlantic dialogue and cooperation involving Northern
and Southern Atlantic countries in order to address common global challenges. The objective is to look into the
feasibility of implementing common short and longer term goals in fields such as economic cooperation, global
governance, development cooperation, climate change, security and energy. This preparatory action should serve to
strengthen a triangular dialogue, or even an extended Atlantic dialogue, as well as to promote the idea of a wider
Atlantic Community.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on information outreach on the Union’s external relations. The
information activities to be carried out under this article fall into two broad categories: horizontal activities and
logistical support from headquarters, and activities carried out by Union delegations in third countries and vis-à-vis
international organisations.

_Measures carried out from headquarters:_

— the European Union visitors programme (EUVP), carried out jointly by the European Parliament and the
Commission, provides some 170 participants a year, chosen by the Union delegations, with the opportunity of
experiencing contact with the Union by visiting the European Parliament and the Commission as part of a made-tomeasure individual programme of visits based on a theme,

— the production and distribution of publications on priority themes as part of an annual programme,

— the production and dissemination of audiovisual material,

— the development of information delivered via electronic media (the Internet and electronic message systems),

— the organisation of visits for groups of journalists,

— the support for the information activities of opinion leaders that are consistent with the Union’s priorities.

The Commission will continue to fund news broadcasts in Farsi.

_Remarks_

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

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

_Assistance for trade policy, participation in negotiations and implementation of trade and trade-related agreements_

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

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in trade and investment
negotiations, to implement trade and investment agreements and to undertake follow-up actions, including on aspects
of trade and sustainable development in its labour and environmental perspectives.

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

This assistance is primarily targeted at the public sector, but could also include initiatives in support of corporate social
responsibility and fair trade.

_Trade development_

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

This appropriation complements the Union’s geographical programmes and should only cover multilateral initiatives
and programmes that offer real added value to the Union’s geographical programmes.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will boost and enhance the Commission’s efforts to involve stakeholders and provide access to
information with regard to trade negotiations. This is of most immediate concern in connection with the negotiations
on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The project will engage the general public and all
stakeholders, with maximum transparency with regard to the activities of the Directorate-General for Trade, especially
with regard to the TTIP. That includes translations, engagement and dialogue events, including press and stakeholder
events, the publishing of information, consultations and follow-up publications.

The Directorate-General for Trade should also be able to engage stakeholders more actively outside Brussels, i.e. in the
Member States. Information must be made accessible more effectively and brought to the attention of stakeholders,
including Union citizens. There is a great deal of information, but it is not always easy to access or to find.

This project will cover both online and off line initiatives.

This appropriation is intended to cover the operating costs of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency
incurred as a result of the implementation of the international dimension of higher education of the ‘Erasmus+’

The Agency will also receive an annual contribution to be financed from Article 21 02 09 appropriations. This will

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

Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European

_TITLE 21 — INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT_

**CHAPTER 21 02 — DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION INSTRUMENT (DCI)** _(cont'd)_

_Remarks_

The primary objective of the Union’s development policy is poverty reduction, as laid down in the Treaty. The European
Consensus on Development provides the general policy framework, guidance and the focus to direct implementation of
Regulation (EU) No 233/2014.

These appropriations are intended to cover activities concerning the pursuit of poverty reduction, sustainable economic,
social and environmental development and consolidating and supporting democracy, the rule of law, good governance,
human rights and the relevant principles of international law, including those ref lected in the Millennium Development
Goals and in the emerging post-2015 international development framework. Synergies with other Union external
instruments will be sought where appropriate, without any loss of focus on the above basic objectives.

In principle, 100 % of expenditure in the geographic programmes and at least 95 % of expenditure in the thematic
programmes and 90 % of expenditure in the pan-African programme must conform to the OECD/DAC criteria for
Official Development Assistance.

As a general rule, at least 20 % of appropriations should be used for basic social services and secondary education.
Moreover, the DCI should contribute to the objective of addressing at least 20 % of the Union budget to a low carbon
and climate-resilient society.

_Remarks_

The purpose of development cooperation under this article is primarily its contribution to support the promotion of
democracy, good governance, equality, respect for human rights and for the rule of law, and fostering sustainable
development and economic integration, as well as to achieving the Millennium Development Goals and post-2015
global development commitments.

The Commission must continue to report annually on the benchmark used in the past for the assistance to developing
countries that is to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the Union contribution must be
seen as part of overall donor support for the social sectors and that a degree of f lexibility must be the norm. Moreover,
the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its assistance under the DCI will be dedicated to
basic social services, with a focus on health and education, and to secondary education, this being an average across all
geographical areas, and recognising that here too a degree of f lexibility must be the norm, for example where
exceptional assistance is involved. This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation schemes in developing countries,
territories and regions in Latin America in order to:

— contribute to the achievement of MDGs targets in the region,

mutilation and child marriage, and women empowerment,

— foster the development of civil society,

— combat poverty and social exclusion and promote social cohesion,

— contribute to improve social standards with focus on education, including education and vocational training for
employment, and health, and to the improvement of social protection schemes,

— promote a more favourable climate for economic expansion and enhanced productive sector, encourage the transfer
of know-how, promote contact and collaboration between business players bi-regionally,

— promote private sector development, incl. an SME-friendly business climate via i.e. legal property rights, reducing
unnecessary administrative burden, improving access to credit, improving associations of small and medium-sized
enterprises,

— support regional integration; in Central America, foster the region’s development via enhanced benefits derived
from the EU-Central America association agreement,

— promote the sustainable use of natural resources, including water, and the combating of climate change (mitigation
and adaptation),

— support efforts for improving good governance and help consolidate democracy, human rights and the rule of law,

— promote policy reform particularly in the area of justice and security and support related actions to enhance
development of countries and regions.

Where assistance is delivered through budget support, the Commission will support efforts of partner countries to
develop parliamentary oversight and audit capacities and transparency.

Appropriations under this article are subject to evaluations that will include aspects of input activities and chain of
results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations will be used in the formulation of subsequent
measures financed with these appropriations.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter and may be
complemented by contributions for Union trust funds.

**CHAPTER 21 02 — DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION INSTRUMENT (DCI)** _(cont'd)_

_**21 02 03**_ _(cont'd)_

Emphasis of bilateral programmes is put on: integrated rural development, promoting sustainable growth, incomegenerating opportunities in rural areas at the community level, and fostering food security; reforms in the area of rule of
law, promoting democratisation and human rights, transparency and anti-corruption measures, and supporting public
finance management; the establishment of an effective system of education focused on quality secondary and vocational
education matching job market needs; and support to the health sector through improved access to equitable and
quality health services.

Regional programmes aim at supporting a broad-based process of dialogue and collaboration between Central Asian
countries, promoting an environment conducive to a non-confrontational approach within the region, notably in areas
sensitive for overall political and social stability.

The programmes will be implemented with a steady focus on those most in need. Cross-cutting issues, such as
environment and climate change, disaster risk reduction, local governance, anti-corruption, human rights, and gender,
will be mainstreamed in all Union programmes.

When and where governance reform efforts of a meaningful nature and genuine democratisation processes exist,
providing support for them will be a priority. Similarly, allocations to border management and anti-drugs programmes
will depend on the outlook for achieving significant results. Cooperation with civil society will be a major element of
cooperation. Increasingly, collaboration with Member States’ agencies to implement these programmes will be chosen,
to make use of Union knowledge transfer in all sectors.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover assistance to the Government of South Africa in reducing unemployment from
around 25 % (2013) to 14 % (2020) and assistance to South Africa in fulfilling its developmental and transformative
role, including improving service delivery.

Employment creation has been identified as one of three priority areas in South Africa’s recently developed National
Development Plan 2030 (the other areas being education, training and innovation, and building a capable state) because
unemployment is at the heart of South Africa’s triple challenge of unemployment, poverty and inequality. The support
is expected to contribute to improving employment creation policymaking and implementation, including in the area of
‘green jobs’ and green technology for low carbon development; reducing the cost of doing business, especially for small,
medium, and micro-sized enterprises; and enhancing actions in the area of skills development and placement assistance.

The support is expected to contribute to strengthening systems of oversight; improving relations between national,
provincial, and local government; enhancing public service staff with the authority, experience, competence and
support they need to do their jobs; and promoting of an active citizenry in policy design, implementation, and
monitoring and evaluation.

Also, the overall objective of this programme is to contribute to the implementation of South Africa’s recently
developed National Development Plan 2030 and the accompanying outcome-based approach, which aim to improve
the conditions of life of South Africans including halving poverty and unemployment, while being aligned with the
Millennium Development Goals. The programme purpose is to contribute to the overall objective in the areas of decent
employment creation through inclusive economic growth and the establishment of an efficient, effective and development oriented public service and an empowered, fair and inclusive citizenship.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf 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

This appropriation is intended to cover poverty reduction and fostering sustainable development as a component under
the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme. The objective of the programme is to support inclusive
sustainable development by addressing the main global public goods and challenges in a f lexible and cross-cutting
manner. The main areas of action include environment and climate change, sustainable energy, human development
(including health, education, gender, equality, identity, employment, skills, social protection, social inclusion, and
economic-development-related aspects such as growth, jobs, trade and private-sector engagement), food and nutrition
security, sustainable agriculture, and migration and asylum. This thematic programme will also enable a swift response
to be made to unforeseen events and global crises affecting the poorest populations. By promoting synergies across the
various sectors, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme will reduce fragmentation of Union development
cooperation and increase coherence and complementarity with other Union programmes and instruments. At least
50 % of the funds, prior to the use of the markers based on OECD methodology (Rio markers), should serve for climate
action and environment-related objectives.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions under the ‘Food and nutrition security and
sustainable agriculture subtheme’, of the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme.

In the area of food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture, the overall objective is to improve food security
for the poorest and more vulnerable, to help eradicate poverty and hunger for current and future generations and to
better address under-nutrition thereby reducing child mortality. This objective will be pursued in line with the Union
policy will focus on enhancing the incomes of smallholder farmers, the resilience of vulnerable communities and on
helping partner countries reducing the number of stunted children by 7 million by 2025. As food security is a global
challenge, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme will focus on activities and approaches to address
global public goods and challenges that provide strong multiplier to the agricultural, livestock and fisheries sector, the
food and nutrition security situation of households, the rural economy and food systems, and the resilience of the most
vulnerable households to shocks and stresses. This will complement and add value to the support provided through
geographical programmes.

The following three components are included in the theme:

—
_Component 1: Generating and exchanging knowledge and fostering innovation_ that will generate and apply new knowledge
to the challenges of food and nutrition security mainly at international and continental levels. This component will
work with existing global and regional initiatives, but also envisages new partnerships that are needed to ensure that
knowledge generated by research is used by beneficiaries to improve their income and livelihoods,

—
_Component 2: Strengthening and promoting governance and capacity at the global, continental, regional and national levels, for_
_all relevant stakeholders_ . This component will support international initiatives addressing food and nutrition security,
including land, sustainable fisheries, and improve the effectiveness of dialogue on food and nutrition security issues.
It will also foster a coordinated international effort to generate reliable, accessible and timely information and
analytical capacity to support evidence-based policymaking and to strengthen and/or set up sustainable regional and
national information systems for food security (ISFS) institutions. This component may also support capacity
development initiatives of stakeholders such as civil society organisations, farmers’ organisations and other interprofessional groups along the value chain,

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover implementation of initiatives under the ‘migration and asylum’ thematic area of
the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme with the aim of enhancing the governance and maximising the
development impact of migration and mobility.

In particular, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme in the area of migration and asylum aims to enhance
the governance of migration in and by developing countries, placing particular attention on maximising the positive
impact and minimising the negative impact of migration and mobility on development in low- and middle-income
countries of origin and destination. Protection and promotion of the human rights of migrants, including access to
services such as health, and support for the Union commitments to ensure policy coherence for development on
migration will be pursued as cross-cutting objectives.

The programme will focus on initiatives at global level as well as multi-regional level (e.g. to support cooperation along
south-south or south-north migratory routes). A limited number of national projects to support new cooperation
activities with priority countries for the Union’s external migration policy may also be launched.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

Northern Mali and northern Niger are subject to recurrent health crises with some of the lowest health indicators
especially on sexual and reproductive health. Although the post-crisis situations in these two countries are quite
different, the root causes of low health indicators are similar: large rural areas, sociocultural barriers, inadequate health
infrastructure, lack of health competencies and capacities notably on the number of medical professionals, and the low
retention rate of skilled medical staff. While these challenges are common across sub-Saharan Africa, the largely
nomadic population in the target area of this project have additional needs that are currently not met by the health
system. Indeed the health system often fails to address the mobile nature of these pastoralist groups. This results in
increased vulnerability of these groups which is already affected by a lack of adequate nutrition, gender inequalities,
maternal and child mortality rates and low access to quality of healthcare services and information.

The parallel post-crisis situation in these two regions would help draw lessons learnt and best practices on resilience and
linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD) that would be highly relevant for the Union in the framework of
the AGIR initiative, and best practices from this pilot project could be replicated within this and other initiatives.

Using the health sector as an example with particular emphasis on sexual and reproductive health, the preparatory
action will aim to establish baselines, draw operational recommendations on resilience and LRRD and capitalise on
them to impulse reinforcing health capacities of communities as regard the needs of nomadic groups in the context of
post-crisis in Mali and Niger.

The situation in the Sahel and in Northern Mali deteriorated between 2014 and 2015. According to the first
Commission interim report on the implementation of pilot projects and preparatory actions for 2015, security issues
have been undermining the preparatory action’s objectives and outreach to nomadic groups. It is crucial to develop
long-term resilience-oriented mechanisms that take into consideration renewed threats of epidemics and that can better
inform emergency response intervention at operational and programming levels. Therefore, an extension for the third
year with additional appropriations is required so that, in addition to consolidating reliable data on health indicators,
training to a critical mass of health workers can be conducted and best practices on resilience and linking relief,
rehabilitation and development (LRRD) can be identified and translated into sustainable mechanisms for retention or
transmission of the capacity that has been built up.

_Objectives_

The overall objective of the project is to build capacity of health workers to provide quality services targeted to the
specific needs of nomadic groups (in a post-crisis situation), with a particular emphasis on sexual and reproductive
health. Using the health sector as an example, the preparatory action will evaluate and compile best practices on
resilience building and linking relief rehabilitation and development in the context of post-crisis in northern Mali and
northern Niger. Finally, it would also develop innovative methods as well as improve health training curriculum
addressing the needs of nomadic groups. Expected results from this project will be reliable and comprehensive health
data collected at community and local levels, in order to improve health programming and increase the accountability
of the national and local health systems; best practices with regards to building resilience and LRRD will be shared and
disseminated and health training curriculum will be developed to enhance local capacity to address health needs of the
nomadic groups.

The primary target group is the nomadic population in rural northern Mali and northern Niger, and in particular the
most vulnerable and most at-risk groups of this population (women, girls and infants below five). The secondary target
group includes professional and community health workers in the same regions.

The action will be implemented by local civil society organisations and humanitarian actors that have local staff present
in the region, in alignment with national priorities and government plans (including reaching UN Millennium
Development Goals 4 and 5, as both Mali and Niger are countdown countries ( [1] )) and in close coordination with all
actors present in the regions: the local and national authorities, local and national health facilities and training facilities,
the communities, as well as the development actors (Union, donors, UN agencies, the private sector, NGOs, authorities
and community health and medical workers), taking into account efforts under the AGIR initiative.

_Project activities_

The preparatory action will have three phases.

( [1] ) Both Mali and Niger are so-called ‘countdown countries’ meaning that progress is needed to reach the MDGs by 2015, in particular on MDG 4 and 5
(infant mortality and maternal mortality).

_First phase: conduct operational research to determine health baselines of nomadic groups_

The action will aim to establish baselines on health indicators and study the determinants to access to quality healthcare
(geographical, financial, socio cultural, etc.) of nomadic local populations, and in particular for the most vulnerable and
most at-risk groups (women, girls and infants below five). It will also map out the existing health capacities and
initiatives (including the AGIR and other international initiatives, government-run health facilities and training centres
but also traditional and community health workers). Eventually, the research will evaluate the provision of basic
healthcare based on nomadic groups’ needs and prevention information and services (including maternal, and child
care, vaccination, nutrition, reproductive health, gender-based violence, etc.) ( [1] ).

_Second phase: provide operational recommendations and compile best practices for LRRD and resilience building for knowledge_
_transfer to the AGIR and other related initiatives_

Based on the assessment, the action will analyse how the nomadic groups’ needs have been addressed in the emergency
response and the post-crisis phase (coordination and warning mechanisms) by all development actors (Union actors,
donors, UN agencies, the private sector, NGOs, authorities and community health and medical workers). It will highlight
best practices in both countries notably combining mobile and static health services and the provision of dual animal
and human interventions, drawing on the similarities and different approaches taken in each country.

Finally it will provide operational recommendations for future Union involvement notably in the context of AGIR on
how to maintain a long-term resilience-oriented perspective towards nomadic groups also during crisis and emergency
response interventions without destabilising the local and national formal and informal structures.

_Third phase: build and retain capacity to address nomadic groups’ health needs among professional and community health workers_
_for resilient health systems_

The action will leverage some of the lessons learnt by considering health capacity to address health needs of nomadic
groups. This phase will focus on developing a specialised training curriculum based on the needs of nomadic
communities and documenting evidence-based intervention strategies which have demonstrated results and ownership
among nomadic groups. This will be done in partnership with training facilities as well as local and national authorities.
The training will include the full range of basic healthcare and prevention including the reference of pregnant women to
health centres. It will also contain training on the collection and monitoring of data on health status of nomadic groups.
The training will target health workers with a special focus on women community-based health workers and traditional
birth attendants in order to increase access to health services for nomadic groups. Training will be aligned with national
priorities and in support of existing institutions.

( [1] ) By basic care we mean: maternal and child health, vaccination and nutrition (specifically acute undernourished children and lactating mothers),
reproductive healthcare (emergency obstetric care, antenatal and post-partum care, access to family planning methods, prevention of unsafe abortion,
etc.) surveillance for epidemics and treatment of diseases (including HIV/AIDS), medical care, early psychological and clinical management especially of
gender-based violence (sexual aggression, early and forced marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting, etc.).

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

Owing to a long history of crisis in the region, extreme poverty is rife in South Kivu Province in the east of the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

With 84,7 % of its inhabitants living below the poverty line, this is one of the DRC’s three poorest provinces (the others
are Équateur and Bandundu).

The situation is no better in Luhwindja than in any other of the province’s 18 chiefdoms. In the past, more than 90% of
the chiefdom’s population lived on artisanal mining.

Today, almost all of the mines are run by the Banro Corporation, whose industrial-scale operations make it difficult for
other activities which could be of greater benefit to the local communities to be carried out.

In order to survive, those communities are obliged to dig for gold at other sites that are deemed dangerous, often with
disastrous consequences. The school non-attendance rate is alarmingly high, with large numbers of young girls and boys
from poor families giving up their studies to go to work in the mines.

Article 53(f) of the Act of 10 January 2009 on the protection of children prohibits all forms of labour which, owing to
their nature or the conditions under which they are carried out, are likely to be harmful to the health, growth, safety,
development, dignity or morals of children.

Girls as young as 13 and women who have become heads of household are obliged to engage in prostitution in order to
keep the local community on an even keel, given, in particular, that most of the men have no source of income.

Prostitution and its attendant problems, including physical violence and drug-taking, are rife in the mines in operation
in Luhwindja chiefdom.

Efforts need to be made by the government, civil society and the UN agencies to find ways of ensuring that Millennium
Development Goal 1 (eradication of extreme poverty and hunger) is met in this area.

_Objectives_

The prevalence of child labour and of prostitution (involving both women and girls) in Luhwindja’s mines is clearly
indicative of the level of poverty in the area.

The overall aim of this project is to help improve living conditions for the inhabitants of Luhwindja chiefdom, with
special emphasis being placed on providing the young people who have given up their studies to work in the mines
with the guidance they require.

Special attention will be paid to the sex workers (women and girls) living at the mines, most of whom contract HIV/
AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases at an early age, and to the issue of unwanted pregnancies. Work in this
area will be carried out in cooperation with Panzi Hospital, which is run by Dr Denis Mukwege.

There will also be close cooperation with local and national authorities, local communities and other development
stakeholders (donors, UN agencies, private sector bodies and NGOs).

_Project activities_

There will be three main stages:

_Stage 1: opening a remedial education centre for children between the ages of 5 and 15 working at mines in Luhwindja (USD_
_800 000):_

— Raising awareness among local people of national and international child protection legislation and agreements.

— Building a remedial education centre for children rescued from the mines, some of whom have never been to
school.

— Fitting the centre out with the necessary equipment. Once built, the centre will need to have the teaching and other
materials required to give the children the best possible learning environment and offer them a chance to continue
their studies afterwards.

— Recruiting the necessary staff. Staff with the specific qualifications and teaching skills required to handle ‘outlaw’
children will be recruited. The staff will also be responsible for enrolling children from the mines, with the assistance
of their parents.

— Providing psycho-social counselling. Given that they come from dangerous, atypical backgrounds, once enrolled the
children will first spend 3 months at a psycho-social guidance centre. A psychologist will be recruited for this

purpose.

— Streaming the children on the basis of their level of schooling. There will be three different levels: Level 1 will be for
children who have never been to school and those who left school in the first and second years of primary school.
These children will be taught to second-year primary level.

— The second level will be for children who went no further than the third or fourth year of primary school. These
children will be taught to fourth-year primary level.

— The third level will be for children who went no further than the fifth year of primary school or failed the sixth year.
These children will be taught to sixth-year primary level.

At the end of each school year, all the children at sixth-year level will take the Tenafep (national primary school
leaving test), in preparation for going on to secondary school.School meals will be provided to encourage children
to attend classes and dissuade parents from sending them to work in the mines.The money which the children
earned in the mines helped to cover household expenses. With a view to putting an end to that practice, provision
has been made for the families of the children at the centre each to be given a food package (a bag of rice and a
small can of oil) every month.

— Assessing the project’s impact on the basis of the number of children enrolled from the mines, their progress to
secondary school, whether local or situated elsewhere, the degree of involvement of the local community and local
authorities in dealing with the problem of child labour in the mines, and the quality of the education provided to
the children.

_Stage 2: setting up a vocational training centre for adolescents (16 to 18 year-olds) from the Luhwindja mines (USD 1 150 000):_

— Raising awareness among local people of national and international child protection legislation and agreements. The
adolescents involved need to be apprised of their rights and obligations.

— Building the vocational training centre. In line with local circumstances, the following courses will be offered:
clothes making, building, carpentry, improved cooking facilities, and fitting and welding.

— Fitting the centre out with the necessary equipment. The skills learned at the centre will be backed up by practical
experience gained on traineeships with local NGOs, state-owned companies, etc.

— Recruiting the necessary staff. Staff qualified to teach the various courses will be recruited either locally or from
outside the area.

— Providing psycho-social counselling. Experience shows that various forms of social deviancy, including drug-taking
and prostitution, are common in this age group.

— Helping the young people to choose a course. Following psycho-social counselling, the young people will be helped
to choose a course. The aim is to raise their sense of self-worth and enable them to make a contribution to society.

— Assessing the project’s impact on the beneficiaries and determining whether the training provided has helped to
address local problems. Assessments and reports will be drafted and sent to donors.

_Stage 3: helping sex workers (women and girls) living at mines in Luhwindja to find other means of earning a living (USD_
_760 000):_

— Recruiting the necessary staff. Technicians and other staff specialised in dealing with ‘marginalised’ women and girls
will be recruited for the project.

— Making the sex workers aware of their human rights. During the information sessions, screening for HIV/AIDS and
similar diseases will be offered to project beneficiaries on a voluntary basis.

The tests will be performed by nurses at Panzi Hospital, run by Dr Denis Mukwege. If necessary, referrals for
psycho-medical care will be made.

— Providing the sex workers with information on issues relating to the management of income-generating activities
and birth control.

In view of the extreme socio-economic conditions in which they live, they will be taught various birth control
strategies. The association could even sign agreements with the sex workers with a view to limiting the number of
births and keeping the women and girls away from the mines.

— Setting up a team to monitor compliance with the agreements, including the undertaking not to go back to the
mines. A sizeable proportion of the children born to sex workers live and work at the mines.

— Helping the young women to find income-generating activities (farming jobs, small retail jobs, etc.) that will enable
them to support their households. The aim is to empower them.

Assessing the project; determining whether beneficiaries have honoured their undertaking not to return to prostitution
in the mines, whether the income-generating activities are going well and whether the birth control advice is being put
into practice.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

This preparatory action is intended to contribute to the Union’s strategy to support the welfare of the people of Eastern
Africa and to help lift them from poverty into self-sustaining economic growth.

It aims at strengthening capacities, ownership and political commitment of local actors to initiate structural change to
support the development of social enterprises which constitute an important pillar of the social economy and civil
society. These enterprises will in particular produce and deliver goods and services in the fields of sustainable
agricultural and livestock production, natural resource management, energy efficiency, culture and education, as well
as health and care services

Social enterprises, together with cooperatives, are operators in the social economy that are trading goods and services to
achieve a social impact ( [1] ) rather than make a profit for their owners or shareholders, and that are managed in an open
and responsible manner and, in particular, involve employees, consumers and stakeholders affected by their commercial
activities ( [2] ).The ILO has made significant efforts to highlight the importance of their role for promoting economic
sustainability, social justice, ecological balance, decent work political stability, conf lict resolution and gender equality ( [3] ),
and the Preparatory Action will integrate the lessons learnt from ILO’s work.

The process of starting, developing and replicating social enterprises and cooperatives will often need to be based on
the innovative use and combination of resources to pursue opportunities to catalyse social change and/or address social
needs, propelled by social entrepreneurs.

The innovative approach of this preparatory action is based on bringing together under-utilised resources and drivers
for local development, and will develop and test new ways and means to develop sustainable communities in two
Eastern African countries (Kenya and Ethiopia) with strong roots in the social economy, by:

( [1] ) Social impact is generated through solidarity action with the disadvantaged and the excluded; with the young generation and with the elderly, solidarity
with future generations (through, e.g. using natural resources efficiently, or reducing emissions and waste) Increasing the quality of life for all through
producing services and products that meet collective needs and contribute to community and social capital development, through, e.g. producing and
distributing healthy and affordable food, or facilitating access to and delivering education and lifelong learning.

— mobilising and empowering social entrepreneurs to move from informal entrepreneurship to social businesses that
allow the development of skills, self-esteem, mutual responsibility, income and welfare,

— establishing local development partnerships of key institutions, stakeholders and personalities that promote and
support the creation and development of social enterprises, embedded in an ecosystem conducive for their
development and sustainability, that are based on the principles of participation, co-ownership and democratic
management,

— mobilising and involving diaspora communities living in Europe that play a significant economic role in the f low of
capital into Eastern Africa, but also have socio-political links with the region,

— facilitating learning from peers by exploiting and utilising the experience and expertise of social economy actors in
the new Member States of the Union that have managed to develop new social economy structures and new
business models for social enterprises in the transformation period from State-controlled economies to social
market economies.

To this end, the preparatory action will apply an experimental approach, and test the conditions for success under
different configurations:

— it will involve partnership between local social economy initiatives in Eastern Africa with diaspora communities in
Europe and social economy actors in the new Member States,

— it will identify and empower local development partnerships in different European countries and in at least two
Eastern African countries that could collaborate in establishing social enterprises and developing a social economy
ecosystem in the communities of the African partners,

— the transnational local partnerships will be established and developed between local social economy initiatives in big
cities, medium-sized towns and rural villages.

The preparatory action will include analytical work (participative baseline assessment and strategy developments,
feasibility assessments); organisational work (coordination cells to prepare and provide technical assistance to the
activities of the partners), the establishment of learning spaces (through study visits, learning seminars, secondments,
cooperation between social enterprises, etc.) and the development of an infrastructure and the activation of an
ecosystem for social enterprises, community-based cooperatives, and producer groups. It will result in launching
transnational partnerships between local social economy initiatives from Eastern Africa and Eastern Europe, assisted by
diaspora communities and experienced social economy actors from the new Member States.

It is expected that the development of social economy initiatives will enhance local community development in Eastern
Africa and strengthen the processes of poverty prevention, notably through the reduction of informal employment,
access to co-ownership of the means of production and the development of an infrastructure for boosting the social

economy.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

Existing research and development (R & D) funding mechanisms dedicated to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) tend to
take a siloed approach: gaps persist between the different phases of the R & D cycle and linkages with fringe issues such
as WASH and education programmes are not addressed as part of a multi-sector approach. Likewise, the need for
equally important incremental research, which can help to significantly improve the acceptability of treatments and
diagnostics to populations affected by NTDs, tends to be overlooked.

With the objective of addressing some of the R & D gaps for NTDs, this pilot project will contribute to or co-fund an
alternative model that relies on an innovative and coordinated approach to address persistent R&D gaps stemming from
market failures. The model will identify a specific part of the gap in R & D for NTDs that disproportionately affect
developing countries, and will provide crucial elements for the development of high-quality, accessible, affordable and
suitable health solutions.

This project will build on the work carried out under previous preparatory actions and pilot projects on global health
research and innovation and support efforts to address identified and recognised gaps in line with the WHO process in
[connection with the report available at http://www.who.int/phi/cewg_report/en/ and with the list of demonstration](http://www.who.int/phi/cewg_report/en/)

is posing a major challenge to their democratic governance. One of the visible consequences of the spike in violence in
the NTCA countries is the elevated rate of displacement of minors.

The humanitarian and long term impact of violence and the protection needs of the population affected have remained
largely absent from the humanitarian and development agendas. The protection challenges faced by refugee and asylumseeking children from the NTCA countries require a holistic approach to protection. While root causes need to be
addressed, immediate attention should be paid to primary protection needs, in particular those of unaccompanied and
separated children with a view to ensuring their safety and well-being. Displacement and separation increase children’s
vulnerability to violence, exploitation, torture, forced recruitment and other serious human rights abuses.

_Remarks_

The overall objective of the project is to enhance the wellbeing of 3 000 children and adolescents (1 500 at risk and
1 500 formerly associated with the South Sudan Democratic Movement/Army (Cobra Faction) through access to
psychosocial support, education and enhanced livelihood opportunities, and in particular to:

— facilitate the release, sustained return and reintegration of 2 000 children and adolescents associated with armed
groups and provide socio-economic and protection services for an additional 2 000 children and adolescents at risk
of recruitment and facing other risks in the GPAA,

— support measures for preventing recruitment and use of children and adolescents by armed forces and groups,

— support the education of 3 000 of the most vulnerable children (released children and at-risk children in the
communities) and provide access to quality education services.

The education intervention in the GPAA seeks to ensure that at least 3 000 conf lict-affected pre-primary and school-age
girls, boys and adolescents have access to life-saving and quality education in a child-friendly, safe and protective
environment. That will be achieved through:

— the establishment of safe and protective temporary learning and play spaces for two key children cohorts: early
childhood development (ECD) for children aged 3-6 and basic education for school-age children aged 7-18,

— the procurement, pre-positioning and distribution of adequate and relevant learning, teaching and recreation
materials (including recreation kits, school-in-a-box, and ECD kits),

— the training of teachers and other education personnel and community members in psychosocial support, life skills
education, peacebuilding, emergency ECD, delivery of life-saving messages, and conf lict-sensitive education, and

— the promotion of education-in-emergency services and girls’ education in general.

UNICEF expects 2 000 children to be released who are to be referred for health care, interim care, immediate
psychosocial support and registration for family tracing and reunification (FTR). That is to be followed by the
provision of reintegration services for the released children, as well as targeted intervention for an additional 2 000
vulnerable children in the communities.

A community-based approach is to be adopted in line with international best practices and positive outcomes from
earlier reintegration efforts in South Sudan. The project will include other community children in community-based
support, and in direct support it will apply the one-plus-one targeting principle (in accordance with the Paris Principles),
complementing each released and reunified child with one locally identified child at risk. In addition, the project will
invest in infrastructure and services that will be of benefit to all community members.

There will be a number of components acted on simultaneously. FTR services for the children who are being released
are to be provided along with provision of interim care services while awaiting family tracing. Psychosocial support
activities, including peer support, creating arts and other group activities will be provided for the released children in the
interim care centres (ICC). As part of the Back to Learning Initiative, education services are to be scaled up through
rehabilitation of learning spaces, teacher training and provision of supplies including Accelerated Learning Programmes
(ALP). Safe water is to be provided by drilling/rehabilitating boreholes. Historically, the availability of safe water is
extremely poor, with community members drinking untreated water from the river. In addition to the provision of safe
water, UNICEF and its partners are also to provide gender-sensitive latrines in ICCs and schools. Community-based
approaches are also to be prioritised so as to improve sanitation and hygiene conditions so that communities are opendefecation-free.

A multi-sectoral community-based reintegration approach has been envisioned for the GPAA, with a number of
components, including education and WASH as previously noted. Beyond the services provided during the release
phase, the strategy also encompasses the need to mitigate the drivers of conf lict by providing socio-economic reintegration, including through income-generating activities, with opportunities for training, entrepreneurship and job
placement. Vocational orientation along with fishing gear will be provided as a first step for the released children.
Additionally, small-scale livestock or agricultural set-up support will be provided for the released children and other
adolescents at risk, and their families. For the released adolescents and young people at risk who are older than the
minimum working age, the planned intervention will enable them to acquire marketable skills and access to nonhazardous business opportunities through vocational training, apprenticeships and support in starting up small
businesses.

Coverage: five villages in one district in Tanzania (Kiteto District) and in three counties in Kenya (Laikipia, Samburu,
Isiolo and Turkana).

The estimated appropriation to cover the pilot is based on previous intervention by Cordaid in other districts and
counties.

_Stage 1: Investigating PRM (including analysing previous experience) and mapping livestock tracking routes_

Communities traditionally used communal resource areas. Shrinkage in seasonal grazing is perceived by communities as
an immediate and real threat to their livelihoods; therefore this activity has also an extra awareness-raising component.
Boundaries and land ownership are even bigger threats to sustainable livelihoods in resource-dependent communities in
these villages, both in Kenya and Tanzania. This action will apply a combined technique of resource mapping and
capacity development:

— mapping — using technically advanced geographic information technologies, such as aerial photography, remote
sensing technology and geographic information systems for mapping land and natural resource rights, use and
management,

— land and water rights — recognising and documenting small-scale farmers’ land and water rights, pastoralists’
common grazing areas and routes,

— group rights — recognising and documenting group rights, focusing on range and grazing lands, forests and
artisanal fishing areas through a participatory process,

— women’s access — strengthening women’s access to land and other natural resources,

— inclusive business — documenting best practices in securing land and natural resource rights through business
partnerships between small-scale farmers and investors,

— transboundary resources — the sharing of such resources with minimal conf lict will be facilitated through proper
development of resource maps; information gathering will be a multi-stakeholder process and will use a modern
technique (GIS — Geographical Information System); this may also include the use of the Social Tenure Domain
Model (STDM) tool developed by Global Tool Land Network (GLTN), which enhances effective participatory
identification of natural resources, demarcation/boundaries and corridors.

The identification of resources and the documentation thereof involves producing maps that indicate the specific areas
in which resources are located. Map-sketching is done in a participatory manner. The communities will be aware of
what is on their lands, including opportunities for social economic advancement. It has been proved that this approach
opens up dialogue between the various groups, with a view to identifying the problems and giving thought to possible
solutions.

_Stage 2: Negotiating PRM and facilitating legal support for livestock tracking routes_

Tanzania has institutions such as Village Development Committees, which will assist in community mobilisation.
District Councils (at local level) provide appropriate experts such as District Land Officers and District Livestock and
Agricultural Officers. In Kenya, for effective rangelands and resources mapping processes, the County Land Management
Boards, community land boards and community land assemblies, together with county governments, will be
instrumental in the process. There will be close cooperation with the National Land Commission. It is expected that
the process of mapping, documenting and authenticating such processes will be effective and inclusive by also including
local NGOs involved in practical implementation, which will provide, if necessary, information on areas they are
working on.

Other potential activities at this stage will consist in monitoring by local authorities, including the joint formulation of a
resilience management strategy and identification of resilience-building requirements for the various groups. Use will be
made at this stage of PRM tools and lessons learnt from previous experience. The PRM guidelines developed on the
basis of previous intervention will be adapted if necessary.

_Stage 3: Implementation_

The pilot will not stand alone; it will be a component of similar initiatives in other regions of the countries; and, if
necessary, there will be coordination with the Sustainable Rangelands Management Programme, the Joint Village Land
Use Planning arrangement and the Rangeland Initiative. This will benefit from infrastructure developed through these
initiatives; and synergies will be built, including possible scaling up through a strategic partnership with partners such as
the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the International Land Coalition.

Information collection and documentation involves a capacity-building approach using audiovisual material accessible
to community members. Sessions will be facilitated by community leaders and will be filmed (DVD) so that the various
groups can look back at discussions and at the way decisions have been taken. In order to ensure that the process is
properly and periodically updated, monthly briefings will be produced in a PRM newsletter drawing on Rangelands
Initiative Bulletins. To inform policies, technical briefings will be produced for policymakers and partners.

**EMERGING THREATS** _(cont'd)_

_**21 05 01**_ _(cont'd)_

— the promotion of civilian research activities as an alternative to defence-related research, and support for the
retraining and alternative employment of scientists and engineers having formerly been employed in weaponsrelated areas,

— support for measures to enhance safety practice related to civilian facilities where sensitive chemical, biological,
radiological or nuclear materials or agents are stored, or are handled in the context of civilian research programmes,

— support, within the framework of Union cooperation policies and their objectives, for the establishment of civil
infrastructure and relevant civilian studies necessary for the dismantlement, remediation or conversion of weaponsrelated facilities and sites where these are declared as no longer belonging to a defence programme,

— strengthening the capacity of the competent civilian authorities involved in the development and enforcement of
effective control of the trafficking in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials or agents (including the
equipment for their production, or delivery or effective border controls), including through the installation of
modern logistical evaluation and control equipment. The actions relate to natural and industrial disasters as well as
criminal activities,

— support to IAEA to upgrade their technical capacity to detect the illicit trafficking of radioactive materials,

— the development of the legal framework and institutional capacities for the establishment and enforcement of
effective export controls on dual-use goods, including measures of regional cooperation,

— the development of effective civilian disaster preparedness, emergency planning, crisis response, and capabilities for
clean-up measures in relation to possible major environmental incidents in this field.

— strengthening the capacity of law enforcement and judicial and civil authorities involved in the fight against
terrorism,

— countering violent extremism and organised crime, including illicit trafficking of people, drugs, firearms and
explosive materials, cybercrime, falsified medicine and in the effective control of illegal trade and transit. A new
priority is to address global and trans-regional effects of climate change with a potentially destabilising impact,

— support for measures to address threats to international transport, and critical infrastructure, including passenger
and freight traffic, energy operations and energy distribution, electronic information and communication networks,

— ensuring an adequate response to major threats to public health, such as pandemics with a potential transnational
impact.

_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 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.

_TITLE 21 — INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT_

_**21 08 02**_ _(cont'd)_

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. This appropriation covers various forms of action:

_Action A: Coordination at European and international levels:_

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

— support and coordination activities in the priority areas of aid and development effectiveness (including joint
programming/joint implementation) and financing for development,

— meetings of experts and exchanges between the Commission, Member States, and other international actors (US,
emerging donors, etc.) and preparation of and participation to international fora such as the Global Partnership for
Effective Development Cooperation or those under the policy stream financing for development, means of
implementation and post-2015 agenda,

— research, communication, consultation, and evaluation services, including for technical assistance,

— 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, including capacity-building,

— 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 is also intended to cover the financing of activities in the area of research for policymaking in
development, building on the experience of the initiative ‘Mobilising European Research on Development Policies’.
These activities include support to cutting edge research and structured debate to enhance synergies between researchers
and policymakers, the objective being to refine the European perspective on key development challenges and enhance
the Union’s inf luence on the international development agenda on the basis of independent knowledge and excellence.

_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 action 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
international cooperation and development aid fields 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 partner countries.

These activities consist mainly, in financial support for audiovisual and online publications, seminars and events as
applied to development, the production of information material, the development of information systems, and also the
Lorenzo Natali prize for journalism in field of development.

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

This appropriation is moreover 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 public perception of external assistance, building on the results and the evaluation of the activities
deployed by the Union institutions and Member States in the context of 2015 European Year for Development. 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,

— organising the annual edition of the European Development Days (EDD). This event has become one of the main
events in the Commission agenda in terms of external relations. It brings together development advocates, decisionmakers and practitioners. Each year, EDD serves as a platform for policy brainstorming and forward-looking
recommendations ahead of key international summits. It highlights the importance of the Union’s role not only as
the world’s largest development assistance provider, but also as a leader in the international development policy
debates,

— the organisation of visits for groups of journalists and other target groups.

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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover:

— 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 Commission and beneficiaries,

— expenditure on printing, translation, studies, meetings of experts, information and the purchase of information
material directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme.

Finally, this appropriation is intended to cover the costs of publication, production, storage, distribution and
dissemination of information material, in particular via the Publications Office of the European Union, and other
administrative costs related to coordination.

_Remarks_

_Former Item 22 01 04 01 (in part)_

This appropriation is intended to cover administrative costs directly linked to the implementation of the Instrument for
Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA), the phasing out of pre-accession assistance and TAIEX, in particular:

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

— expenditure on external personnel at headquarters (contract staff, seconded national experts or agency staff), limited
to EUR 5 146 149. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which an estimated
95 % is accounted for by the remuneration of the personnel concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training,
meetings, missions, information technology (IT) and telecommunications relating to the external personnel financed
from this appropriation,

— expenditure on external personnel in Union delegations (contract staff, local staff or seconded national experts) for
the purposes of devolved programme management in Union delegations in third countries or for internalisation of
tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as in Commission Post-Accession Transitions Teams
remaining in new Member States during the phasing-out period (contract staff, agency staff) working on tasks
directly related to completion of accession programmes. In both cases, it also covers additional logistical and
infrastructure costs, such as the cost of training, meetings, missions and renting of accommodation directly resulting
from the presence in Union delegation of external personnel remunerated from the appropriations entered against
this item,

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information systems, awareness-raising, training, preparation and
exchange of lessons learnt and best practices, as well as publications activities and any other administrative or
technical assistance directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme,

— research activities on relevant issues and the dissemination thereof,

— expenditure related to the provision of information and communication actions, including the development of
communication strategies and corporate communication of the political priorities of the Union.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

additional cost of training, meetings, missions, information technology (IT) and telecommunications relating to
those staff members,

— expenditure on external personnel in Union delegations (contract staff, local staff or seconded national experts) for
the purposes of devolved programme management in Union delegations in third countries or for internalisation of
tasks of phased-out technical assistance offices, as well as the additional logistical and infrastructure costs, such as
the cost of training, meetings, missions and renting of accommodation directly resulting from the presence in
delegations of external personnel remunerated from the appropriations entered against this item,

— expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information systems, awareness-raising, training, preparation and
exchange of lessons learnt and best practices, as well as publications activities and any other administrative or
technical assistance directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme,

— research activities on relevant issues and the dissemination thereof,

— expenditure related to the provision of information and communication actions, including the development of
communication strategies and corporate communication of the political priorities of the Union.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons, to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and
managed by the Commission on their behalf 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,
without prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational
programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

_Remarks_

_Former Item 21 03 01 01_

This appropriation is intended in particular to cover bilateral and multi-country cooperation actions promoting results
in, inter alia, the following areas:

— human rights and fundamental freedoms,

— the rule of law,

— principles of equality,

— establishing deep and sustainable democracy,

— good governance,

— developing a thriving civil society including social partners,

— creating conditions for well managed mobility of people,

— promotion of people-to-people contacts.

An adequate level of appropriations should be reserved for the support of civil society organisations.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf 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, without
prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme
with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter and may be
complemented by contributions for Union trust funds.

This appropriation is intended to cover payments in respect of commitments remaining to be settled from previous

It is also intended to cover the completion of the financial protocols with Mediterranean countries, including, inter alia,
support for the Euro-Mediterranean Investment Facility within the European Investment Bank and covers the execution

generation of financial protocols and the period 1 November 1991 to 31 October 1996 for the fourth generation of
financial protocols.

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

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

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.

_Remarks_

_Former Item 21 03 77 05_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the
preparatory action.

As diversity and complexity of national legislations in requested states and limited legal expertise and institutional
capacities in requesting states remain major obstacles in the field of asset recovery to Arab Spring countries in
transition, it is of crucial importance to offer substantial legal and technical assistance to southern Mediterranean
partner countries concerned.

22 04 77 05 _(cont'd)_

This preparatory action, based on existing Union initiatives supporting Egyptian and Tunisian authorities engaged in the
recovery of misappropriated assets stolen by former dictators and their regimes, aims to strengthen Union action in this
field through capacity-building as well as promoting cooperation and expertise and information sharing between
requesting and requested states, and the revision of national legislations as appropriate.

This preparatory action covers start-up costs for and finances annual running costs of this support mechanism.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover support expenditure directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the
humanitarian aid policy. This covers, inter alia:

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

— fees and reimbursable expenses incurred through service contracts to undertake audits and evaluations of partners
and actions of the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection,

— expenditure on studies, information systems and publications, on public awareness and information campaigns, and
on any other measure highlighting the Union character of the aid,

— expenditure on external personnel at headquarters (contract staff, seconded national experts or agency staff) limited
to EUR 1 800 000. This personnel is intended to take over the tasks that were entrusted to external contractors
handling the administration of individual experts and to manage programmes in third countries. That amount,
based on an estimated annual cost per person/year, is intended to cover the remuneration of the external personnel
in question and training, meetings, missions, information technology (IT) expenditure and telecommunications
expenditure related to their tasks,

— expenditure related to the purchase and maintenance of security, specialised IT and communication tools and
technical services necessary for the establishment and functioning of the Emergency Response Centre. This centre
(‘crisis room’) will be operational on a 24-hour basis and responsible for the coordination of the Union’s civilian
disaster response, in particular to ensure full consistency and efficient cooperation between humanitarian aid and
civil protection,

— expenditure on the development, maintenance, operation and support of information systems, intended for internal
use or to improve coordination between the Commission and other institutions, national administrations, agencies,
non-governmental organisations, other partners in humanitarian aid, and Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid
and Civil Protection experts in the field.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons, to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and
managed by the Commission on their behalf, 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 point (b) of Article
21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be
determined, without prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, 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 covers administrative expenditure under Articles 23 02 01 and 23 02 02.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of humanitarian and food aid operations of a humanitarian nature
to help people in countries outside the Union who are the victims of conf licts or disasters, both natural and man-made
(wars, outbreaks of fighting, etc.), or comparable emergencies, for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian
needs that such situations give rise to. It will be carried out in accordance with the rules on humanitarian aid under
Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

The aid is granted to victims without discrimination or adverse distinction on the grounds of race, ethnic origin,
religion, disability, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation. That assistance is provided in accordance with international humanitarian law and should not be subject to restrictions imposed by other partner donors, as long as it is
necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations give rise.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the
implementation of humanitarian aid operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of
people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, particularly of infrastructure and facilities, the costs
associated with external, expatriate or local staff, storage, international or national shipment, logistic support and
distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the aid.

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 and food aid operations.

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations
and 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.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 58 to 61 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission,
when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international
organisations, will make every effort to commit to sending all their internal and external audits regarding the use of
Union funds to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public
agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed
by the Commission on their behalf, 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 point (b) of Article 21(2) of the
Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined,
without prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, 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 intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot

Natural disasters, including those resulting from climate change, are trans-boundary in nature. It is hence imperative
that preparedness activities take place in a more coordinated way, cutting across national borders, transferring
knowledge and raising the awareness of state, regional and local authorities and citizens alike. In Europe, there are
several research centres and centres of excellence that have already developed a capacity to analyse and evaluate disaster
risks and to warn their state authorities in order to prevent damage and casualties, prepare the relevant communities in
advance of a disaster and take stock of the early-warning information in order for it to be used when making targeted
investments co-financed by the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) so that the relevant thematic
objectives are achieved. In addition, there is the European Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) which is operated
within the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection and has been set up to support a coordinated
and faster response to disasters both inside and outside Europe using resources from 32 countries participating in the
Union Civil Protection Mechanism. The ERCC is currently relying on several key European detection and alert systems,
which provide information that allows the ERCC to successfully react to disasters as well as on the scientific expertise of
the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to analyse the impact of natural events (including their impact on infrastructure that
may cause technological disasters).

However, in the face of growing challenges, the above resources and expertise are no longer sufficient to coordinate the
Union response at ERCC level and to manage the future European emergency capacity, which requires a stronger focus
on forecasting, planning and coordination, instead of only responding to emergencies. Experience has also shown that
preventing and preparing for disasters is more cost-effective than responding to them.

Furthermore, there is no coordinated mechanism in place for reporting either to the ERCC or to all Member States that
might be affected by a potential disaster extending beyond national boundaries (e.g. storms). At present, each Member
State largely relies upon its own capacity.

To address the above challenges and to achieve the goal of fully exploiting science and technology within the disaster
risk management field in a cost-efficient manner, a European pilot project is necessary. The pilot project will build on
the experience of the North-Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and Connected Seas Tsunami Warning and Mitigation
System (NEAMTWS) network, which has brought together five partners to monitor on a round-the-clock basis tsunami
incidents in the North-East Atlantic, Mediterranean and connected seas and to warn the Union’s and the Member States’
authorities. The pilot project will:

— identify relevant scientific centres across Europe that could provide expertise for disaster risk management policymaking and emergency operations;

— bring together those scientific centres and create enlarged scientific partnerships (European Union Centres of
Excellence Network) for different hazards, associating them with scientific centres in the immediate Union neighbourhood, if necessary, in compliance with the Union Civil Protection Mechanism legislation;

— bridge the existing reporting and linkage gap between the European Union Centres of Excellence Network and the
ERCC; this could be done by defining and implementing a governance structure linking the European Union Centres
of Excellence Network, the JRC and the ERCC.

In this manner, relevant disaster information will be transmitted to all actors concerned in a coordinated and timely
way, increasing both preparedness and response levels of the Member States and the Union through the ERCC. Setting
up and expanding such a network will require the large-scale involvement of European scientific centres that are already
using state-of-the-art monitoring technology or can be funded to upgrade accordingly, where this is necessary for
satisfactory regional coverage. They could set up, implement and test a common, efficient and coordinated reporting
methodology while extending it to cover a large geographical area in Europe (at least 10 countries). A large network is a
prerequisite for the success of such an endeavour, as the geographical spread of disaster risks needs to be taken into
account.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), including for
OLAF staff posted in Union delegations, the objective of which is to combat fraud within an interinstitutional
framework.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at
EUR 20 000.

In accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 883/2013, the appropriations for, and staff of, the Supervisory
Committee and its secretariat are entered in the budget and establishment plan of OLAF. Nevertheless, for the sake of
transparency, the resources made available to the Supervisory Committee in OLAF’s budget can be identified. Based on a
secretariat of seven permanent posts and an allocation for one member of contract staff, the appropriations for the
operation of the Supervisory Committee in 2015 would come to around EUR 1 200 000. This amount covers
expenditure on the Supervisory Committee’s staff costs, training, missions, internal meetings, buildings and allowances.

_Remarks_

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

years.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular
Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this item. By way of
information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the
statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with Article 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
candidates 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_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

Recent discoveries of vulnerabilities in critical information infrastructure have drawn the broader public’s attention to
the need to understand how governance and quality of the underlying software code relates to basic safety and public
trust in applications that are used on a day-to-day basis. As both the general public and the Union institutions regularly
use free and open-source software — from end-user device applications to server systems — the need for coordinated
efforts to ensure and maintain the integrity and security of that software has been highlighted by the European
Parliament itself. This pilot project will offer a systematic approach to achieving a goal to which the Union institutions
themselves can contribute, namely ensuring that widely used critical software can be trusted.

The pilot project has three parts:

— Part one comprises a comparative study and a feasibility study. The comparative study will analyse and compare the
Debian Free Software Guidelines and social contract [0] compliance decisions in Debian [1] with current code
sharing practices and compliance determinants within the activities of the Commission’s vulnerability test centre
and CITnet’s Application Lifecycle management system relating to projects which are currently funded by ISA and
published on JoinUp [2]. This study will also make a general assessment of the Commission’s current code
governance models and identify processes similar to processes within Debian. The aim is to develop best practices
with regard to code review and code quality assessment for the purpose of mitigating security threats, in particular
in activities relating to free software and open standards funded by the Union. The feasibility study will identify
agents and stakeholders, estimate time frames and funding models, determine deliverables and long-term impacts in,
of and for projects where such best practices could be applied.

— The second part of the pilot project will cover the development of a unified inventory methodology for the
Commission and Parliament in particular and the compilation of a full inventory of free software and open
standards in use within all the Union institutions. The inventory will provide a basis for determining where the
results of the first part of the pilot project could be successfully applied.

the general European public and by Union institutions. This part of the pilot project will identify and focus in
particular on software or software components whose exploitation could lead to a severe disruption of public or
Union services and unauthorised access to personal data, forming the basis for a public tender on this matter.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

This pilot project will support the development of a single online platform for the proactive publication of all
unclassified documents of Union institutions. The main steps and deliverables for the building of this web platform will
be:

— identification, listing and type registration of all unclassified documents relevant to the Union institutions, based on
a ‘publically-available by default’ approach,

— assessment of technical challenges to be addressed in order to ensure safe storage and transmission of all
documents,

— compatibility of existing Union registers of documents in order to facilitate a single online access point via the new
online platform,

— design of a web platform architecture allowing optimum and user-friendly navigation,

— development of a built-in search engine for document searching, identification and downloading.

Technical development of the online platform will be based on the principles of open standard software, taking into
account ongoing interinstitutional harmonisation and rationalisation efforts in terms of metadata and formats,
information systems and document management.

The pilot project will focus primarily on documents relating to one of the Union institutions, thus providing a bestpractice tool which could then be extended to all Union institutions and related bodies (including regulatory and
executive agencies). The Publications Office could coordinate the project, given the number of online services it already
offers the public.

This online platform will help to ensure genuine transparency, as repeatedly called for by the European Parliament, and
prevent needless litigation that could generate unnecessary costs and burdens for both the institutions and the general
public.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

The project will support the implementation of secure electronic communications within Union institutions. One way
of making electronic communications significantly more secure is to apply state-of-the-art encryption technology to the
institutions’ email services. By properly protecting its own communications, the Union can set an example for citizens,
the private sector and national public sectors. The project will involve the development of Union encryption standards
which are guaranteed not to be compromised or weakened by third-country governments.

The project will support the IT services of the European Parliament, Council, Council Presidency and Commission in
implementing the systems needed for secure communications by MEPs, Commissioners and staff members of all
institutions involved in Union decision-making.

The project will assemble and document the requirements reflecting the business needs of the Union institutions,
analyse and assess the suitability of available solutions and standards and recommend the best method for safeguarding
electronic email communications, also defining the prerequisites (technical, formal, organisational, budgetary) for the
implementation and operation of the recommended solution and assessing the perspectives of further evolution (in
terms of features, application scope, etc.). The results of this work will form the basis for defining and setting up a pilot
system to assess the validity of the recommended solution and its compliance with the identified business needs, which
could be the next step after the completion of the present project.

The project will take into account and build upon the results of the recent and ongoing work on secure email as well as
voice communication solutions, whenever possible also contributing to the progress of the related projects.

The project, led by the Commission, will be supervised by a steering group set up within the Subgroup on Security of
the CII (Comité Informatique Interinstitutionnel).

This pilot project is in line with Parliament’s call for its Secretariat to carry out by December 2014, under the
responsibility of the President of the European Parliament, a thorough review and assessment of the European
Parliament’s IT security dependability. This review and assessment covers budgetary resources, staff resources,
technical capabilities, internal organisation and all other issues connected with achieving a high level of security for
the European Parliament’s IT systems.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

Engaged and empowered citizens all over Europe are developing and applying democratic values and working methods
at all levels of society using old and new information and communications technologies. It is therefore essential for
democracy that Union institutions commit to providing open knowledge and free software solutions implementing the
most significant standards and tools emerging, as regards legislation, to enhance understanding of their impact in the
different phases of the legislative process. Citizens’ ability to use, and participate in the preparation of standardcompliant and process-compatible documents throughout the law-making process in the Union is of key importance
for the legitimacy of the European Union project as a whole. Needless to say, such use and participation will benefit
from integration with other projects involving multilingual technologies and localisation processes, as well as the
removal of silos and unnecessary proprietary dependencies.

One tool in this area is LEOS, a web-based application for drafting legislation envisioned by the Commission. It is
financed via the ISA programme, which means that it could eventually be integrated with more cost-efficient and
maintenance-proofed distributions such as Debian, ensuring that the code is continuously tested to work together with
other tools for drafting high-quality legislation.

A more visionary example is the open development of AT4AM — the European Parliament’s automatic tool for
amendments. However, its use outside the European Parliament is limited due to the lack of linked open data
integration, minimal funding to help NGOs to install and run the AT4AM software on their own servers, and
insufficient collaboration with free software projects that bridge XML and RDF formats (in particular the Akoma
Ntoso schema).

The aims of the pilot project will cover:

— promotion of deployment, development, maintenance and use of Union law-making tools in and by civil society,

— integration of LEOS with linked open data projects,

— collaboration with the European Parliament to ensure LOD interoperability with AT4AM,

— development of Akoma Ntoso and RDF data formats for LEOS and AT4AM.

_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 that 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_

In connection with emergency plans to ensure Union energy supply security and reduce dependence on energy imports,
special protection should be given to vulnerable consumers hit by energy poverty. Energy used in buildings accounts for
40 % of energy use within the Union. Financing deep renovation of buildings was recently recognised as a key European
and Structural Fund priority for improving energy efficiency and thereby energy security. However, optimum ways of
mobilising financing to support specific low-cost energy efficiency measures that could be implemented relatively
quickly in low-income households still need to be found. Such financing measures, using any available Union funds and
budget lines, would help vulnerable consumers to reduce their energy needs without reducing their standard of living. A
financing feasibility study will be carried out. The objectives of the study will include determining what is needed in
practice to make Union funds available to this group of citizens for such short-term measures, properly taking into
account social and economic impacts (creation of local jobs, reduction of consumers’ bills, etc.), barriers represented by
split incentives between tenants and building owners, complementarity with longer-term energy-efficiency measures
and the financing already available at Union and national level.

particular on Member States where this issue has not yet been examined and/or addressed by policy measures.

It will also analyse existing data on those affected by fuel poverty, the measures put in place by Member States and
definitions and indicators.

_Action to be funded_

A study looking at:

— the possibility of introducing a definition of energy poverty based on common parameters adjusted to take account
of the specific circumstances in each Member State,

— the possibility of setting up specific financial schemes regarding energy costs for the most vulnerable households
(such as fair energy pricing, support on a one-off basis or as part of other social assistance, action to prevent nonpayment of bills and protection against the cutting-off of supplies),

— the possibility of establishing specific regional or national funds to reduce energy poverty, which could be funded by
means of a financial contribution from energy providers which ref lects their obligation to reduce consumption
pursuant to Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy

— incentives and instructive measures to help residents save energy,

— the use of effective, long-term financial leverage to make residential buildings more energy-efficient in both urban
and rural areas, while ensuring that this does not lead to a significant increase in housing costs for tenants once
energy savings have been taken into account; the Commission will coordinate these efforts and examine the
possibility of introducing incentives,

— how energy efficiency measures to tackle energy poverty can also help prevent health problems (such as respiratory
and cardiovascular conditions, allergies, asthma, food and carbon monoxide poisoning, and impacts on mental
health),

— tariff compositions in Member States, including the recent introduction of higher taxes on energy,

— measures put in place in Member States.

_TITLE 32 — ENERGY_

**CHAPTER 32 04 — HORIZON 2020 — RESEARCH AND INNOVATION RELATED TO ENERGY** _(cont'd)_

_Remarks_

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

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which
covers the 2014 to 2020 period, and for the completion of the previous research programmes (seventh framework
programme and preceding framework programmes) and the completion of the ‘Intelligent energy — Europe’
programmes (prior to 2014).

Horizon 2020 activities, in particular those addressed under the societal challenge ‘Secure, clean and efficient energy’,
but also relevant parts of other sections of the programme, including ‘Access to finance’, implemented in line with the
Union’s energy policy framework, as well as the European strategic energy technology plan (SET-Plan) and the
communication on energy technologies and innovation, will contribute primarily to the Europe 2020 f lagship initiative
‘Innovation Union’ and other f lagship initiatives, notably ‘Resource-efficient Europe’, ‘An industrial policy for the
globalisation era’ and ‘A digital agenda for Europe’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European
Research Area. Horizon 2020 will contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the
whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding.

Horizon 2020 will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives described in Article 179 of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the
European Research Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the
dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human
resources for research and for technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively, and research and innovation
capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring optimum use thereof.

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.

This appropriation will be used in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for the participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 —
the Framework Programme For Research And Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006

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 chapter. 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 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.

_**32 04 03**_ _**Societal challenges**_

_Remarks_

This priority of Horizon 2020 responds directly to the policy priorities and societal challenges identified in the Europe
2020 strategy. Those activities will be implemented using a challenge-based approach which brings together resources
and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines. The activities will cover the full cycle from research
to market, with a new focus on innovation-related activities such as piloting, demonstration, test beds, support for
public procurement, design, end-user-driven innovation, social innovation and market take-up of innovations. The
activities will support directly the corresponding sectoral policy competences at Union level.

plan (SET-Plan) and the communication on energy technologies and innovation. These initiatives are primarily
addressing energy efficiency, wind, solar, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), smart cities and electricity
grids. In recognition of their important contribution to future sustainable energy systems, at least 85 % of the budget
appropriations over the period 2014-2020 will be allocated to the renewable and end-use energy efficiency policy
areas, including smart grids and energy storage.

Support to market uptake measures will be part of the Horizon 2020 programme to build capacity, improve
governance and overcome market barriers so that energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions can be rolled out,
thus contributing to improving energy security in the Union. Part of the appropriations in the overall energy challenge
budget will therefore be spent on market uptake activities for existing renewable and energy efficiency technologies
within the programme, carried out by a dedicated management structure, and will include support for sustainable
energy policy implementation, capacity building and mobilisation of financing for investment, in line with what has
been done to date.

_Remarks_

The ITER project aims to demonstrate fusion as a viable and sustainable source of energy by building and operating an
experimental fusion reactor as a major step towards the creation of prototype reactors for fusion power stations that are
safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible and economically viable. It will contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy
and in particular to its Innovation Union f lagship initiative as the mobilisation of European high-tech industries, which
are involved in the construction of ITER, should provide the Union with a global competitive advantage in this
promising sector.

The project brings together seven parties: the Union, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States.

The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion for Energy provides the contribution of the
European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) to the joint implementation of the international ITER project. ITER, a
major experimental facility which will demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power, will be
followed by the construction of a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO).

This joint undertaking has the following tasks:

— to provide the contribution of Euratom to the ITER International Fusion Energy Organisation,

— to provide the contribution of Euratom to broader approach activities with Japan for the rapid realisation of fusion

energy,

— to prepare and coordinate a programme of activities in preparation for the construction of a demonstration fusion
reactor and related facilities.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover expenses pertaining to preparatory, monitoring, control, audit and evaluation
activities which are required for the management of the Rights, Equality and Citizenship programme (the ‘Programme’)
and the assessment of the achievement of its objectives; in particular, studies, meetings of experts, information and
communication actions, including institutional communication of the political priorities of the Union, as far as they are
related to the general objectives of the programme, expenses linked to IT networks focusing on information processing
and exchange, together with all other technical and administrative assistance expenses incurred by the Commission for
the management of the Programme.

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 points (e) to (g) of Article 21(2) 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 acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates 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 points (e)
to (g) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation.

The new Rights, Equality and Citizenship programme is the successor to three previous programmes: Fundamental
Rights and Citizenship, Daphne III, and the Antidiscrimination and Diversity and Gender Equality sections of the
programme for employment and social solidarity (Progress). The general objective of the Rights, Equality and
Citizenship programme is to contribute to the further development of an area where equality and the rights of
persons as enshrined in the Treaty on European Union, in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in the
Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and in the international human rights conventions to which the
Union has acceded, are promoted, protected and effectively implemented.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

The pilot project will establish and support an independent expert group to carry out a fundamental rights review of
any existing Union legislation, instrument or agreement with third parties that involves the collection, retention, storage
or transfer of personal data.

In the light of the main conclusion of the European Court of Justice judgment in Joined Cases C-293/12 and C-594/12
quashing the data retention directive, and taking into account current moves towards adopting Union data protection
reform proposals presented by the Commission on 25 January 2012, the pilot project will support the activities of a
group of independent experts responsible for reviewing the compliance of Union data collection instruments and
mechanisms with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, with particular attention being paid to the
application of the proportionality principle and to an assessment of relevant safeguards for the fundamental rights to
privacy and the protection of personal data.

The expert group’s activities will include:

— cataloguing existing Union legislation (and any related national transposition laws), law-enforcement instruments
and cooperation, and third-party agreements involving the collection, retention, storage or transfer of personal data,

— analysing and assessing compound effects of existing Union data collection programmes, with a view to identifying
potential fundamental rights loopholes and interference with those rights,

— drawing up specific policy recommendations for each element identified and reviewed.

The independent expert group will include the data protection supervisory authorities, including the European Data
Protection Supervisor, and draw on their expertise.

On the basis of the specific policy recommendations produced, the expert group will also draw up general guidelines for
Union data collection instruments and mechanisms.

33 02 77 12 Preparatory action — Capacity-building for Roma civil society and strengthening Roma involvement in the monitoring

_Remarks_

The European Union framework for national Roma integration strategies calls on Member States to include robust
monitoring mechanisms and involve civil society, including Roma organisations, in strategy implementation and
monitoring. Capacity-building is needed to prepare local Roma civil society organisations for helping to plan and
implement programmes.

The preparatory action will build on the pilot project supported by the European Parliament in the 2014 and 2015
budgets, which was designed to contribute to capacity creation and building for local Roma civil society and provide a
mechanism to monitor Roma integration and inclusion, especially by producing and circulating ‘shadow reports’.
‘Shadow reports’ should enable civil society coalitions to supplement the reports submitted by Member States on
implementation of their strategies or present alternative information and figures. Such reports could add local
knowledge to national and European policy processes and reflect on the real social impact of government measures.
Monitoring will focus on the local implementation of strategies in the four priority anti-discrimination and gender
equality areas — employment, education, housing and health and would also provide information on the level of civil
society involvement, use of Union funds, and mainstreaming of Roma inclusion measures.

_Remarks_

This pilot project will enlarge upon the motto of the European Union: ‘United in diversity’, especially at local and
regional level. It will make it possible for Union citizens in regions with a multicultural and multilingual background, or
where minority groups are particularly excluded or subject to discrimination, to gain an understanding of their
respective cultures, languages and identities.

33 02 77 13 _(cont'd)_

Mutual understanding, acceptance and tolerance are core factors for the productive coexistence of different ethnic,
religious, national and linguistic groups, as well as different generations and minority groups more generally.

The pilot project will add to the work already carried out in the field of non-discrimination, education and language
learning, but the objective is also to reach out to different groups in society and to foster multicultural dialogue between
Union citizens at local and regional level and through concerted efforts at Union level.

One of the strengths of the Union, and part of its richness, is its diversity. Diversity should therefore be promoted
appropriately, making it clear that it brings added value to the Union. The pilot project will fund training courses,
seminars, workshops and conferences on how to maintain the uniqueness of a Union of diversities and how to promote
unity in diversity.

It will also promote the exchange of good practices in combating discrimination and fostering diversity at local and
regional level. It will also bring added value by helping to identify and target discriminatory practices at local and
regional levels, raising awareness of Union citizenship and rights arising from it and building understanding between
majorities and minorities in societies.

The target groups for this pilot project will be local and regional stakeholders, in particular public authorities (cities,
regions and municipalities) NGOs, youth organisations, schools, civil society and businesses.

_Remarks_

The Union has changed considerably over the last 25 years and its society has changed too: Union citizens enjoy their
freedom of movement and, to an increasing extent, live and work in other Member States. Their political participation
in their countries of origin can be affected by red tape and old voting procedures. At the same time, low turnout in
elections, including European Parliament elections, is a challenge for democracies today. To address these issues, ways
should be explored to stimulate participation in elections by all citizens abroad and make it easier to vote through
streamlined procedures, including by making best use of modern technologies.

This pilot project will look into the potential benefits of alternative arrangements with a view to televoting, focusing on
the advantages of an e-voting system, and produce a televoting good practice guide on the basis of a detailed study. The
guide could help make voting procedures more accessible, mobilising a broader group of voters and thus enhancing
democratic participation at Union level.

On the basis of Member States’ relevant experience and after consultation of relevant organisations, universities and
industries, the study will assess the advantages and risks of televoting.

**CHAPTER 33 04 — CONSUMER PROGRAMME** _(cont'd)_

_**33 04 01**_ _(cont'd)_

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure for achieving the objectives established through the multiannual
consumer programme for the years 2014-2020. The aim of the programme is to ensure a high level of consumer
protection and to empower consumers in the heart of the internal market within the framework of an overall strategy
for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, by contributing to the protection of the health, safety, legal and economic
interests of consumers, as well as to the promotion of their right to information, education and to organise themselves
in order to safeguard their interests, supporting the integration of such consumer interests into other policy areas. The
programme will complement, support and monitor the policies of Member States.

This general objective shall be pursued through the following four specific objectives:

— safety: to consolidate and enhance product safety through effective market surveillance throughout the Union,

— information and education and support to consumer organisations: to improve consumers’ education, information
and awareness of their rights, to develop the evidence base for consumer policy and to provide support to consumer
organisations, also taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable consumers,

— rights and redress: to develop and reinforce consumer rights, in particular through smart regulatory action, and to
improve access to simple, efficient, expedient and low-cost redress including alternative dispute resolution,

— enforcement: to support enforcement of consumer rights by strengthening cooperation between national
enforcement bodies and by supporting consumers with advice.

The new programme also needs to take into account new societal challenges which have grown in importance in recent
years. They include: the increased complexity of consumer decision-making, the need to move towards more sustainable
patterns of consumption, the opportunities and threats that digitalisation brings, an increase in social exclusion and the
number of vulnerable consumers, and an ageing population.

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 points (e) to (g) of Article 21(2) 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
candidates 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
points (e) to (g) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot
project.

The pilot project will help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to comply with consumer protection law in the
online environment. Better compliance with the rules would reduce problems for consumers and benefit traders by
avoiding problems with the enforcement authorities:

— training modules for SMEs on Union consumer contract and marketing law for the online environment, including
on Directive 2011/83/EU (Consumer Rights Directive), Directive 2000/31/EC (e-Commerce Directive) and the
applicable national legislation in the Member States will be produced by a contractor for the Commission and will
be made available free of charge to consumer and business associations,

— the modules will be produced as off line learning courses for all Member States (plus Norway and Iceland) in the
languages of all the Member States. In a second phase the modules could be adapted for online use to facilitate
cross-border trade,

— consumer and business associations will be encouraged to use these modules for offering training programmes to
SMEs about their obligations,

— the project will have a start-up phase running from mid-2015 to mid-2016 for drafting training modules and
organising the process, and an operational phase subsequently. The training modules will be improved and added to
over time, as feedback allows corrections to be made, and changing legislation or markets will necessitate additions,

— a kick-off conference with the full stakeholder base (consumer and business associations, legal practitioners,
authorities), followed by a conference every two years, will make it possible to assess progress, analyse uptake,
assess effectiveness and give visibility to the work.

_Remarks_

This pilot project involves a dedicated fund for testing a strategy to be carried out under the auspices of the
Commission.

The pilot project will be used to help:

— carry out a large-scale public education campaign on product safety and market surveillance so as to foster
consumer and business understanding, and appreciation of the challenges of e-commerce,

— ensure additional coordinated advocacy at Union level.

_**33 04 77**_ _(cont'd)_

33 04 77 05 _(cont'd)_

In a truly connected digital single market, all consumers should be able to have confidence in the safety of products
purchased online — wherever they are in the Union. That requires building consumer trust in economic operators
selling online and in authorities carrying out their enforcement tasks while empowering and educating consumers to
effectively perform their role as responsible buyers. An empowered, protected and educated digital consumer represents
an investment in the future. That means protecting consumers and building up their confidence, while enhancing the
accountability of tomorrow’s online consumers. Consequently, national forums are the most suitable way of delivering
consumer education and helping to educate the consumers of tomorrow. In an increasingly globalised world, awareness
of consumer rights and of the precautions to be taken is crucial to ensure protection, confidence and social
responsibility while consuming. Given the fast development of the Internet, social media and online networks, and
also online offers of what are in many instances fashionable products from elsewhere in the world where safety
standards may not be the same as in the Union, teenagers are most likely to lack awareness.

This pilot project will enable stakeholders and citizens to learn about consumer education and to pass this invaluable
information on to others through cross-curricular actions. In this connection, service providers will also gain
information on how to pay tax resulting from transborder transactions, i.e. on how to use the Vatmoss system
efficiently.

Members of the Commission’s expert group on the safety of products sold online have established that the most
effective way of protecting consumers against risks from products purchased online is to raise their awareness of the
pitfalls of online buying and to empower them to make well-informed purchase decisions online.

The expert group is currently working on guidance for market surveillance authorities, which covers, inter alia, two
important aspects with a view to educating and informing consumers about product safety online:

— the information that consumers should be aware of (e.g. there are product safety rules, and consumers should look
for information about product compliance with them, and the fact that authorities are responsible for making
checks on the Internet, but their resources and powers are limited, especially outside the Union, and that consumers
should make use of complaints schemes or other arrangements to inform authorities about problems encountered
online, etc.),

— the ways in which that information is conveyed to consumers (e.g. through websites, campaigns, social media,
conventional media, consumer organisations, and complaints schemes).

When unsafe products are found somewhere in Europe, it is important to be able to stop them from being sold and
make companies recall or withdraw them from the Union market. That will make consumers more confident about
buying products on the Union market.

The pilot project could also test in practice the guidance recommendations (which were intended to be finalised by the
end of 2015), including making messages available in all Union languages and collecting feedback. The project start-up
phase will run from mid-2016 to mid-2017, for designing modules and organising the process, and there will
subsequently be an operational phase. The modules should be developed on the basis of existing knowledge and
guidelines, and improved and added to over time, as feedback will allow corrections to be made; and changing
legislation or markets will necessitate additions.

_Remarks_

This appropriation is intended to finance measures to support the Union’s role in the development, implementation and
enforcement of policy and legislation in the area of climate change adaptation. This includes the monitoring of
mainstreaming across policy areas by developing, testing and demonstrating policy or management approaches, best
practices, solutions for climate change adaptation including, where appropriate, ecosystem-based approaches, improving
the knowledge base of effective climate change adaptation, enhancing its capacity to apply in practice, facilitating the
development and implementation of integrated approaches of strategies and action plans to adapt to the impact of
climate change at local, regional or national level as well as contributing to the development and demonstration of
innovative technologies, systems, methods and instruments for being replicated, transferred or mainstreamed, taking
into account the following priorities:

— developing new policies and further implementation of the existing ‘Climate and Energy’ package, the achievement
of the 20/20/20 climate/energy targets of the Europe 2020 strategy, the ‘2030 Framework for climate and energy’
and the EU adaptation strategy supporting the transition towards a low carbon and climate resilient economy/
society,

— 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,

— developing innovative support mechanisms to fully exploit the potential of new technologies to reduce losses
caused by climate-change-related events, such as severe drought, f looding 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 ‘to increase the proportion of climate mainstreaming
to at least 20 % of the future total Union budget in 2014-2020’, with contribution from different policies.

The measures financed by LIFE may be implemented through action grants, operating grants, financial instruments,
procurement procedures or any other interventions that are needed (Articles 17, 18, 21 and 22 of Regulation (EU) No
1293/2013)).

of the 20/20/20 climate/energy targets of the Europe 2020 strategy, the ‘2030 Framework for climate and energy’
and the EU adaptation strategy supporting the transition towards a low carbon and climate resilient economy/
society,

— promotion of non-profit-making entities primarily active in the field of climate action at a European level and
involved in the development and implementation of Union policy and legislation aiming to strengthen the
participation of these NGOs in the dialogue process of climate action policymaking, in its implementation and in
the European standardisation process to ensure balanced stakeholder representation and the systematic integration
of climate-related aspects.

Costs of technical assistance for selecting projects and monitoring, evaluating and auditing projects under the LIFE
programme (including non-profit-making organisations supported via operating grants) may also be financed by this
appropriation.

The measures financed by LIFE may be implemented through action grants, operating grants, financial instruments,
procurement procedures or any other interventions that are needed (Articles 17, 18, 21 and 22 of Regulation (EU) No

_Remarks_

The emergency aid reserve (EAR) is intended to allow for a rapid response to 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, and situations of particular pressure resulting from
migratory f lows at the Union’s external borders where circumstances so require.

The annual amount of the reserve is fixed at EUR 280 000 000 (2011 prices) and may be used up to year n+1 in
accordance with the Financial Regulation. The reserve shall be entered in the general budget of the Union as a provision.
The portion of the annual amount stemming from the previous year shall be drawn on first. That portion of the annual
amount from year n which is not used in year n+1 shall lapse.

_Remarks_

The aim of this reserve is to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund so as to enable the Union to
demonstrate solidarity towards, and to support workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has
ceased as a result of major structural changes in world patterns due to globalisation, as a result of the continuation of
the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 18 June 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 on establishing the European Globalisation
[Adjustment Fund (OJ L 167, 29.6.2009, p. 26), or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2009&mm=06&jj=29&type=L&nnn=167&pppp=0026&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
provide financial support for their rapid reintegration into sustainable employment.

The methods for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the Fund are laid down in point 13 of

_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 subheading 1a and headings 2, 3, 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 2016 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,76 % (on the basis of 2014 figures), i.e. 2,64 % for Norway, 0,09 % for Iceland and
0,03 % for Liechtenstein.

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA
States take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and
the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an annex to the general budget of the Union. The total
EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2016 is estimated at about EUR 382 730 556 in commitment appropriations. The EFTA
States will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget
headings concerning the contributions by the EFTA States are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded as
provisional.

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

EUR 8 400 000 000.

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

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.

_BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE UNION BUDGET (BY_
_WAY OF INDICATION)_

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).

Decision No 466/2014/EU grants an EU guarantee to the EIB against losses under financing operations supporting investment
projects outside the Union (pre-accession countries, neighbourhood and partnership countries, Asia and Latin America, South
Africa) throughout the period 2014-2020. The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations shall not exceed
EUR 30 000 000 000 broken down into a fixed ceiling of a maximum amount of EUR 27 000 000 000 and an optional
additional amount of EUR 3 000 000 000 to be decided in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure following the midterm review exercise. The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

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), and subsequently of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1994&mm=11&jj=12&type=L&nnn=293&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)
[145,10.6.2009, p. 10), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2009&mm=06&jj=10&type=L&nnn=145&pppp=0010&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

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,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2004&mm=12&jj=31&type=L&nnn=396&pppp=0028&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

2 000 000 000 for financing of climate change operations and EUR 1 684 000 000 for enhancing EIB risk operations).

Decision No 466/2014/EU grants an EU guarantee to the EIB against losses under financing operations supporting investment
projects outside the Union (pre-accession countries, neighbourhood and partnership countries, Asia and Latin America, South
Africa) throughout the period 2014-2020. The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations shall not exceed
EUR 30 000 000 000 broken down into a fixed ceiling of a maximum amount of EUR 27 000 000 000 and an optional
additional amount of EUR 3 000 000 000 to be decided in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure following the midterm review exercise. The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

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), and subsequently of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1994&mm=11&jj=12&type=L&nnn=293&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

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.

3. _**Description**_

Pursuant to Decision 93/115/EEC the Union guarantees, on a case-by-case basis, loans made by the European Investment Bank in
third countries with which the European Union has concluded cooperation agreements.

Decision 93/115/EEC set an overall limit of EUR 250 000 000 a year for a period of 3 years.

On 12 December 1996 the Council granted the EIB a 100 % Community guarantee for loans for projects of mutual interest in
certain third countries (Asian and Latin American developing countries) with which the Community has concluded cooperation
agreements. This guarantee was restricted to an overall ceiling of EUR 275 000 000 to be granted in 1996 (with a possible
extension of six months).

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 countries of Asia and
Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama,
Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan,
Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. 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 900 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of Asia and Latin America. It covered a
period of 3 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 22 December 1999, the Council decided to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for
projects in the following countries of Asia and Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India,
Indonesia, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and
Yemen. 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 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.

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.

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).

Decision No 466/2014/EU grants an EU guarantee to the EIB against losses under financing operations supporting investment
projects outside the Union (pre-accession countries, neighbourhood and partnership countries, Asia and Latin America, South
Africa) throughout the period 2014-2020. The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations shall not exceed
EUR 30 000 000 000 broken down into a fixed ceiling of a maximum amount of EUR 27 000 000 000 and an optional
additional amount of EUR 3 000 000 000 to be decided in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure following the midterm review exercise. The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

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), and subsequently of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1994&mm=11&jj=12&type=L&nnn=293&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

**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 2014.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2014’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the
cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2014 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which
produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2014’: 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 2013, including
repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.

[Innovation Framework Programme (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 15).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2006&mm=11&jj=09&type=L&nnn=310&pppp=0015&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

Financial instruments are part of the entrepreneurship and innovation programme (EIP), one of the three specific programmes
under the competitiveness and innovation framework programme (CIP) ( [2] ).

The overall objective of the financial instruments under the CIP is the improvement of access to finance for the start-up and growth
of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in order to support their investment in innovation activities, including ecoinnovation. This is done by increasing investment volumes of risk capital funds and other investment vehicles.

The High Growth and Innovative SME Facility (GIF) is implemented by the European Investment Fund (EIF) on behalf of the
Commission. It aims to increase the supply of equity for innovative SMEs in their early stages (GIF1) and in the expansion phase
[(GIF2). Investment proposals by financial intermediaries are selected on the basis of a notice of implementation (OJ C 302,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2007&mm=12&jj=14&type=C&nnn=302&pppp=0008&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

In general, the CIP market-oriented instruments under GIF and SME Guarantee Facility (SMEG) have shown high efficiency and
relevance to address the current market conditions, dominated in the recent years by a tightening of credit conditions and more
difficult access to finance for SMEs. The GIF is a venture capital facility focused and targeted on a relatively limited number of
companies that have the potential to achieve high growth, to bring innovation to the market and to create high-added-value jobs.

As regards the duration, the commitment period for GIF ended on 31 December 2013 but the instruments will exist until the
winding up after 2026.

The total budgetary commitments for the CIP financial instruments for the whole period of 2007-2013 were foreseen to be
EUR 1,13 billion, with an original indicative split of EUR 620 million for GIF (including eco-innovation) and EUR 510 million for
the SME Guarantee Facility.

(ii) _**Budget lines corresponding to the relevant operation**_

Article 02 02 02 — Improving access to finance for small and middle-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the form of equity and debt.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The Equity Facility for Growth (EFG) focuses on funds that provide venture capital and mezzanine finance, such as subordinated and
participating loans, to expansion and growth-stage enterprises, in particular those operating across borders, while having the
possibility to make investments in early stage enterprises in conjunction with the Equity Facility for Research, Development and
Innovation (RDI) under Horizon 2020.

In the latter case, the investment from EFG shall not exceed 20 % of the total EU investment except in cases of multi-stage funds,
where funding from EFG and the Equity Facility for RDI will be provided on a pro rata basis, based on the funds’ investment policy.
The Commission may decide to amend the 20 % threshold in light of changing market conditions.

The EFG may include seed funding, angel funding and quasi-equity financing subject to market demand but exclude asset-stripping.

Support is given in the form of direct investments made by the entrusted entity in financial intermediaries that provide equity or
quasi-equity financing to SMEs.

The overall policy objective is to provide enhanced access to risk capital for which significant market gaps exist in Europe and to
support the development of a pan-European risk capital market. The latter will be achieved by focusing predominantly on those risk
capital funds which invest cross-border.

The implementation of the EFG has been entrusted to the European Investment Fund (EIF) on the basis of a delegation agreement
signed on 22 July 2014.

The delegation agreement ensures that the EFG is accessible for a broad range of financial intermediaries provided that these are
professionally and independently managed and display the capacity to successfully support SMEs in their growth and expansion
phase.

From a technical point of view, the EIF is instructed to invest on a _pari passu_ basis with other private and public investors. Target
final recipients are SMEs of all sizes without a specific sector focus.

The duration of the equity instrument is planned to last until 31 December 2034 (until the last operations are wound down).

The basic act provides that no less than 60 % of the total financial envelope for the implementation of the COSME programme shall
be allocated to the financial instruments. Based on the distribution of the total amount allocated to the financial instruments
between the equity instrument (48 %) and the debt instrument (52 %) as foreseen in the legislative financial statement, the initial
overall budget envelope foreseen for the EFG for the total 2014-2020 programming period amounts to EUR 662 million.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

The estimated initial budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 662 ( [1] ) million.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis is between 4 and 6, with EUR 1 from the Union budget resulting in EUR 4-6
in equity investments over the lifetime of the financial instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total investment volumes mobilised would range from
EUR 2,6 to 3,9 billion for the entire duration of the programme.

( [1] ) This amount is based on the assumption that the distribution between the COSME financial instruments is 52 % for the Loan Guarantee Facility (LGF)
and 48 % for the Equity Facility for Growth (EFG) as foreseen in the legislative financial statement, and subject to change, in line with Article 17 of
Regulation (EU) No 1287/2013.

(ii) _**Relevant budget lines**_

Item 08 02 02 02 — Enhancing access to risk finance for investing in research and innovation.

(iii) _**General description of the Financial Instrument including the duration and the impact on budget**_

A Union-level Equity Facility for Research and Innovation (‘R&I’) is needed to help improve the availability of equity finance for early
and growth-stage investments and to boost the development of the Union venture capital market.

The goal is to contribute to overcoming the deficiencies of the European venture capital market and provide equity and quasi-equity
to cover the development and financing needs of innovative enterprises from the seed stage through to growth and expansion.

The Equity Facility will focus on early-stage risk capital funds providing venture capital and quasi-equity (including mezzanine
capital) to individual portfolio enterprises. The facility will also have the possibility to make expansion and growth-stage
investments in conjunction with the Equity Facility for Growth under the programme for the competitiveness of enterprises and
SMEs (COSME), to ensure a continued support during the start-up and development of companies.

In the latter case, the investment from the Equity Facility of Horizon 2020 shall not exceed 20 % of the total EU investment except
in cases of multi-stage funds, where funding from EFG and the Equity Facility for RDI will be provided on a pro rata basis, based on
the funds’ investment policy. Like the EFG, the Equity Facility shall avoid buy-out or replacement capital intended for the
dismantling of an acquired enterprise.

The overall policy objective is to provide enhanced access to risk capital for which significant market gaps exist in Europe and to
support the development of a pan-European risk capital market.

In terms of Union added value, the Equity Facility for R&I will complement national schemes that cannot cater for cross-border
investments in R&I. The early-stage deals will also have a demonstration effect that can benefit public and private investors across
Europe. For the growth phase only at European level it is possible to achieve the necessary scale and the strong participation of
private investors that are essential to the functioning of a self-sustaining venture capital market.

The implementation of the direct investments under this facility will be entrusted to the European Investment Fund (EIF) in
Luxembourg.

display the capacity to successfully support portfolio companies in their early-stage development and growth.

From a technical point of view, the entrusted entity will be instructed to invest on a _pari passu_ basis with other private and public

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 430 million.

The envisaged leverage effect of the Equity Facility of Horizon 2020 will be approximately 4-6 depending on the type of
investments and the form of cooperation with venture capital funds and/ or knowledge transfer investors. Based on the leverage
targets of the programme, it is estimated that the total amount of venture capital investments mobilised would range from
EUR 1 720 million to EUR 2 580 million for the entire duration of the programme.

budget nomenclature) ( [1] ).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

Financial instruments are part of the entrepreneurship and innovation programme (EIP), one of the three specific programmes
under the competitiveness and innovation programme (CIP) ( [2] ).

The overall objective of the financial instruments under the CIP is the improvement of access to finance for the start-up and growth
of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in order to support their investment in innovation activities, including ecoinnovation. This is done by providing leverage to SME debt financing instruments to increase the supply of debt finance to SMEs.

The SME Guarantee Facility (SMEG 07) is operated by the European Investment Fund (EIF) on behalf of the Commission. It provides
counter- or co-guarantees to guarantee schemes and direct guarantees to financial intermediaries operating in eligible countries.

In general, the CIP market-oriented instruments under GIF and SMEG have shown high efficiency and relevance to address the
current market conditions, dominated in the recent years by a tightening of credit conditions and more difficult access to finance for
SMEs. The SME Guarantee Facility is a counter-cyclical instrument that helped final recipients to face the difficulties arising from the
economic conditions since the crisis, namely to obtain or maintain access to finance and to create or maintain jobs over the period.

As regards the duration, the commitment period for the SME Guarantee facility ended on 31 December 2013 but the instrument
will exist until the winding up after 2026.

The total budgetary commitments for the CIP financial instruments for the whole period of 2007-2013 were foreseen to be
EUR 1,13 billion, with an original indicative split of EUR 620 million for GIF and EUR 510 million for the SMEG07.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

No further budgetary commitments have been made by the Commission since the end of the commitment period, i.e. 31 December
2013.

The aggregate budgetary commitments for 2007-2013 amounted to EUR 637,8 million. The leverage effect ( [3] ) on the SMEG07 is
estimated around 31,6 for the entire duration of the programme, which means that the impact of the aggregate budgetary

Article 08 02 51 (in part) — Completion of previous research framework programme — seventh framework programme — EC
indirect action (2007 to 2013).

In the period 2007-2013, a total amount of EUR 1 230,73 million has been committed from the general budget of the Union
(initial seventh framework programme budget plus additional EFTA and third country appropriations to that programme) and paid
to the EIB to support both Risk-Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) and Risk-Sharing Instrument (RSI).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The RSFF, co-developed by the Commission and the EIB, was established in June 2007. The EU and the EIB are risk-sharing partners
for loans provided by the EIB directly or indirectly to beneficiaries. The European Union, through budget resources for the seventh
framework programme, and the EIB have set aside a total amount of up to EUR 2 billion (up to EUR 1 billion each) for the period
2007-2013 to cover losses if RSFF loans are not repaid. Through these EU/EIB contributions for risk-sharing and loss coverage, the
EIB is able to extend a loan volume of EUR 10 billion to companies and the research community for their investments in R & D and
Innovation.

In early 2012, a new pilot guarantee facility, RSI (Risk-Sharing Instrument for SMEs and small midcaps, with maximum 499
employees) was launched to improve access loan finance for RDI investments. The RSI guarantee facility is part of the RSFF
implementation and is carried out by the European Investment Fund (EIF). For this RSI pilot guarantee facility, the EU budget
coming from the seventh framework programme (plus additional EFTA and third country appropriations to that programme) for
the period 2012/2013 amounted to EUR 270 million (in addition to the abovementioned amount).

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

[Microfinance Facility for employment and social inclusion (OJ L 87, 7.4.2010, p. 1).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=04&jj=07&type=L&nnn=087&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

Article 04 03 53 (in part) — Completion of other activities (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The aim of the European Progress Microfinance Facility is twofold: on the one hand, it increases availability of microfinance for
persons wishing to start up or develop their micro-enterprises, including for self-employment, in the sense that it enables
microfinance providers in the EU to enlarge their lending volumes to these individuals. On the other hand, Progress Microfinance
enhances access to microfinance by reducing microfinance providers’ risk. This feature allows microfinance providers to reach out
to groups who could normally not be served, for instance, because persons from these groups could not provide sufficient collateral
or because the interest rates would have to be very high to justify their actual risk profile.

The Facility shall provide Union resources to increase access to, and availability of, microfinance for:

— persons who have lost or are at risk of losing their job, or who have difficulties entering or re-entering the labour market, as
well as persons who are facing the threat of social exclusion or vulnerable persons who are in a disadvantaged position with
regard to access to the conventional credit market and who want to start or further develop their own micro-enterprise,
including self-employment,

— micro-enterprises, especially in the social economy, as well as micro-enterprises which employ persons referred to in point (a).

The financial contribution from the Union budget for the Facility for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013
amounts to EUR 103,6 million, out of which EUR 23,6 million is foreseen for the EPMF Guarantee Facility (EPMF-G) and EUR
80 million for the EPMF _Fonds Commun de Placement_ — _Fonds d'Investissement Spécialisé_ (EPMF FCP-FIS).

The Facility is implemented by using the following types of actions, as appropriate:

— guarantees (EPMF-G),

— debt and equity instruments (FCP-FIS),

— support measures, such as communication activities, monitoring, control, audit and evaluation which are directly necessary for
the effective and efficient implementation of Decision No 283/2010/EU and for the achievement of its objectives.

The micro-credit guarantee window shall remain in full force and effect until 31 December 2020.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

No further budgetary commitments have been made by the Commission since the end of the commitment period.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 103,6 million (cumulative budget for
EPMF-G and EPMF FCP-FIS).

Article 02 02 02 — Improving access to finance for small and middle-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the form of equity and debt.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The Loan Guarantee Facility (LGF) provides:

— counter-guarantees and other risk-sharing arrangements for guarantee schemes,

— direct guarantees and other risk-sharing arrangements for any other financial intermediaries meeting the eligibility criteria.

The LGF consists of:

— guarantees for debt financing via loans, including subordinated and participating loans, or leasing, which shall reduce the
particular difficulties that viable SMEs face in accessing finance either due to their perceived high risk or their lack of sufficient
available collateral,

— securitisation of SME debt finance portfolios, which shall mobilise additional debt financing for SMEs under appropriate risksharing arrangements with the targeted institutions. Support for those transactions is conditional upon an undertaking by the
originating institutions to use a significant part of the resulting liquidity or the mobilised capital for new SME lending within a
reasonable period of time. The amount of this new debt financing will be calculated in relation to the amount of the guaranteed
portfolio risk and shall be negotiated, together with the period of time, individually with each originating institution.

The LGF covers, except for loans in the securitised portfolio, loans up to EUR 150 000 and with a minimum maturity of 12
months. The LGF may also cover loans above EUR 150 000 in cases where SMEs who meet the criteria to be eligible under the
COSME programme do not meet the criteria to be eligible under the SME window in the Debt Facility of the Horizon 2020
programme (the so-called InnovFin SME Guarantee Facility), and with a minimum maturity of 12 months. The LGF is designed in
such a way that it will be possible to report on SMEs supported, both in terms of number and volume of loans.

The implementation of the LGF has been entrusted to the European Investment Fund (EIF), on the basis of a delegation agreement
signed on 22 July 2014.

The delegation agreement ensures that the LGF is accessible for a broad range of financial intermediaries (guarantee societies,
national promotional institutes, commercial banks, cooperatives, etc.) which are experienced in financial transactions with SMEs or
which have the capacity to enter into financial transactions with SMEs.

From a technical point of view, the EIF is instructed to provide capped portfolio guarantees to the financial intermediaries which will
cover a portion of expected losses of a portfolio of newly generated SME transactions which have a higher risk profile.

L 48/1740 EN Official Journal of the European Union 24.2.2016

COMMISSION

_INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 49(1)(E) OF THE FINANCIAL REGULATION_

As far as securitisation transactions are concerned, the EIF is instructed to provide guarantee coverage on a part of the mezzanine
tranche of a securitised SME lending portfolio coupled with an undertaking by the financial intermediary to build up a new SME
loan portfolio.

Target final recipients under the capped portfolio guarantees and the securitisation transactions are SMEs of all sizes without a
specific sector focus. The range of financial products which can be supported through the capped guarantees is very broad so as to
not discriminate amongst the SME population which has very differing financing needs depending on a company’s stage of
development and the sector/industry in which it operates.

The guarantee instrument is planned to last until 31 December 2034 (until last operations are wound down). Individual guarantee
agreements to be signed by the entrusted entity will have a maximum duration of 10 years.

The LGF may also contribute to the financial instruments to be deployed under the SME initiative, a joint instrument combining EU
funds available under COSME and/or Horizon 2020 and ESIF resources in cooperation with EIB/EIF with a view to generate
additional lending to SMEs in specific Member States.. This contribution may take the form of uncapped portfolio guarantees or
securitisation operations and cover the mezzanine tranche of the portfolio.

The basic act provides that no less than 60 % of the total financial envelope for the implementation of the COSME programme shall
be allocated to the financial instruments. Based on the distribution of the total amount allocated to the financial instruments
between the equity instrument (48 %) and the debt instrument (52 %) as foreseen in the legislative financial statement, the initial
overall budget envelope foreseen for the LGF for the total 2014-2020 programming period amounts to EUR 717 million.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

The estimated initial budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 717 million ( [1] ).

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis is between 20 and 30, with EUR 1 from the Union budget resulting in EUR
20-30 in financing over the lifetime of the financial instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of loan volumes mobilised would range from
EUR 14,3 to 21,5 billion for the entire duration of the programme.

( [1] ) This amount is based on the assumption that the overall distribution between the COSME financial instruments is 52 % for the Loan Guarantee Facility
(LGF) and 48 % for the Equity Facility for Growth (EFG) as foreseen in the legislative financial statement, and subject to change, in line with Article 17
of Regulation (EU) No 1287/2013.

This guarantee facility succeeds and refines the RSI pilot under the RSFF in the seventh framework programme, and is part of a
single debt financial instrument supporting the growth of enterprises and their R&I activities. It targets R&I-driven SMEs and small
midcaps (up to 499 employees) requiring loans of between EUR 25 000 and EUR 7,5 million. A loan of more than EUR 7,5 million
will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) implements this facility by providing direct guarantees to financial intermediaries such as
banks, which will extend the actual loans to final recipients. The guarantee will cover up to 50 % of intermediaries’ potential losses.
EIF also offers counter-guarantees to financial intermediaries (such as guarantee institutions) providing risk protection to banks
extending loans to R&I-driven SMEs and small midcaps.

R&I-driven SMEs or small midcaps wishing to apply for a loan should contact one of the financial intermediaries signing an
agreement (see ‘sSelection procedure’) with EIF. This is a demand-driven facility, with no prior allocations between sectors, countries
or regions. However, subject to the successful conclusion of negotiations, the Commission incentivises EIF to make a particular
effort to ensure that a significant proportion of final recipients are eco-innovative SMEs and small midcaps.

Expected impact: R&I-driven SMEs and small midcaps able to carry out a greater amount of R&I. The indicators are the number of
agreements signed with financial intermediaries and the number and volume of loans made.

Indicative timetable: This facility is available since 10 June 2014.

Selection procedure:

(a) for financial intermediaries: EIF issues calls for expression of interest, with eligibility and selection criteria defined as part of
each call after consultation with DG Research & Innovation;

(b) for loans: according to the internal processes of the intermediary bank or other financial institution that the SME or small
midcap applies to, using normal commercial criteria.

factor of up to 9, thus resulting in loan finance for R&I-driven SMEs and small midcaps of approximately EUR 9 540 million for the
entire duration of the programme.

The instrument will also contribute to the financial instruments that will be deployed under the joint SME initiative as endorsed by
the October 2013 European Council. This contribution may take the form of uncapped portfolio guarantees or securitisation
operations and cover, in combination with resources from ESIF, COSME and EIF, the mezzanine tranche of the portfolio.

The objectives of these financial instruments have been described in Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013 and can be found in Article 4:

_General objective_

To promote employment and social inclusion by increasing the availability and accessibility of microfinance for vulnerable people
who wish to start up a micro-enterprise as well as for existing micro-enterprises, and by increasing access to finance for social
enterprises.

_Specific objectives under Article 26:_

— increase access to, and the availability of, microfinance for:

— vulnerable persons who have lost or are at risk of losing their job, or have difficulty in entering or re-entering the labour
market, or are at risk of social exclusion, or are socially excluded, and are in a disadvantaged position with regard to access
to the conventional credit market and who wish to start up or develop their own micro- enterprises,

— micro-enterprises in both start-up and development phase, especially micro-enterprises which employ persons as referred to
in point (i),

— build up the institutional capacity of microcredit providers,

— support the development of the social investment market and facilitate access to finance for social enterprises by making equity,
quasi-equity, loan instruments and grants of up to EUR 500 000 available to social enterprises with either an annual turnover
not exceeding EUR 30 million, or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding EUR 30 million which are not themselves a
collective investment undertaking.

The programme shall run from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020.

The budget of the microfinance and social enterprise financial instruments will consist of 21 % of the total EaSI budget for 20142020, which is EUR 919 469 000 in current prices.

Its division shall respect the following minimum percentages:

— social entrepreneurship: 45 %.

The remainder will be split between these two.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Indicative target results are 41 000 microloans given to final recipients and 1 350 loans given to social enterprises. The target for
microfinance has been based on the past experience with the Progress Microfinance.

The target for social enterprises has been based on the total volume of the guarantees and funded instruments funds, multiplied by
the expected leverage and divided by an average investment size of EUR 200 000 per social enterprise.

For the funded instruments, an expected co-investment of EUR 20 million was taken into account. These targets are subject to
change as the design of the facility and potential co-investments are unknown at this stage.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 192 million.

The target estimated leverage effect is:

— 5,5 over the lifetime of the financial instrument for the guarantees part,

— not yet available for the funded instruments part ( [1] ).

Based on the target leverage of the instrument,

— it is estimated that the total amount of 96 million used for the Guarantees part would represent around EUR 528 million for the
final recipients,

— the estimation cannot be established yet for the funded instruments

( [1] ) It remains to be seen which will be the implementation mode for the funded instruments and how will this impact the design, expected leverage and
co-investments.

**Erasmus+ Master Student Loan Guarantee Facility — 2014 to 2020**

(i) _**Reference to the basic act**_

Regulation (EU) No 1288/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 establishing ‘Erasmus+’: the
Union programme for education, training, youth and sport and repealing Decisions No 1719/2006/EC, No 1720/2006/EC and No

(ii) _**Budget lines corresponding to the relevant operations**_

Article 15 02 01 01 (in part) — Promoting excellence and cooperation in European education and training and their relevance to
the labour market.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The objective of the ‘Erasmus+ Master’ Student Loan Guarantee Facility is to foster and support full programme mobility at master’s
level (second cycle of higher education). In order to do this, the Facility provides partial guarantees to financial intermediaries which
issue loans on favourable conditions to students from Erasmus+ participating countries undertaking a full (one or two-year)
master’s-level programme outside their country of residence, and outside the country where they obtained their bachelor-level
qualification.

Guarantees issued through the Facility cover new eligible student loans up to a maximum of EUR 12 000 for a one-year master’s
programme and up to EUR 18 000 for a two-year master’s programme.

The Facility thus represents a direct contribution to the EU and Bologna Process ministerial target to double the proportion of
students completing a study or training period abroad to 20 % by 2020.

The management of the Facility at Union level has been entrusted to the European Investment Fund (EIF), which will conclude
agreements with financial intermediaries such as banks, national/regional student lending institutions. These participating financial
intermediaries will in turn pass on the benefit of the EU guarantee by making student loans available free of any requirement for
student or family collateral and on favourable terms, e.g. lower than market rate interest, and safeguards against student hardship to
include a ‘grace period’. The grace period enables graduates to find employment before beginning loan repayments and a ‘payment
holiday’' whereby they could freeze repayments if needed such as during a spell of unemployment or maternity.

Capital for the loans is leveraged from the participating financial intermediaries, with the Union acting as part-guarantor against
possible final recipient’s default on loans. Repayment of loans would be via ‘normal’ bank loan mechanisms, with all operational
information and processing taking place at a local level.

The Erasmus+ programme 2014-2020 legal basis provides for a total EU contribution of EUR 517 million, which will enable
approximately 200 000 students to benefit from loans backed by the Facility.

The duration of the instrument will extend to 2037 (i.e. programme in place until 2020 + 2 years commitment deadline + up to
15 years maturity on the student loans).

The Facility will provide partial guarantees at up to 90 % of the first losses resulting from final recipient’s defaults with a guarantee
cap of 18 % of the loan portfolio. The estimated leverage is 5,7 (i.e. EUR 3,2 billion to be provided as capital for student loans from
participating financial intermediaries).

Article 34 02 02 — Increasing resilience of the Union to climate change.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The purpose of the PF4EE Instrument (Private Financing for Energy Efficiency) is to provide access to adequate and affordable
commercial financing for eligible energy efficiency (EE) investments targeted by schemes developed by participating countries to
implement their national energy efficiency action plans (NEEAP) or other programmes in line with EU directives relating to energy
efficiency.

The PF4EE instrument provides to financial intermediaries (FIs): (i) a portfolio-based credit risk protection (risk-sharing facility or
RSF); combined with (ii) expert support services for the FIs in order to support the implementation of the PF4EE instrument; (iii)
long-term financing from the EIB.

The RSF is designed to mitigate the credit risk faced by FIs when lending to final recipients undertaking eligible EE investments. By
means of Union funds deposited on a collateral account, the RSF will cover part of the ones incurred under EE loans included in the
portfolio to be built by the FIs for the financing of EE investments.

The RSF aims to increase lending activity and to improve financing conditions for final recipients through, among others, lower
pricing, longer maturities and lighter securities requirements. The EIB loan for EE to the FIs may complement the RSF. Such EIB
loans for EE will be provided by the EIB at competitive rates and with long maturities.

The PF4EE needs to be operational for as long as underlying loans covered by the RSF remain outstanding. Maximum tenor to be
allowed under the RS Facility will be 20 years. Therefore the PF4EE will be in place for up to 20 years after the end of the
implementation period (2042).

The final recipients include private individuals, home-owner associations, SMEs, corporates and/or public institutions or bodies,
undertaking EE investments in line with the NEEAP of each Member States.

The size of the EE loans provided to beneficiaries range from EUR 40 000, which can be reduced to accommodate small
investments within the residential sector, to EUR 5 million and in exceptional cases up to EUR 15 million.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

The implementation of the PF4EE started on 8 December 2014 with the signature of the Delegation Agreement.

Under the PF4EE approximately 6-10 financing agreements (EIB Loans for EE and RSF/Expert Support Facility) could be signed with
FIs in the period 2014-2017.

COMMISSION

_INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 49(1)(E) OF THE FINANCIAL REGULATION_

The budget foreseen to be allocated to PF4EE between 2014 and 2017 is EUR 80 million. The anticipated EIB leverage effect will be
six-fold. Taking into account that EIB is limited by its own internal policies to finance up to 75 % of the eligible EE investments; the
target investment leverage effect is eight-fold.

It is expected that over the lifetime of the programme (2014-2017), assuming an average investment cost of EUR 300 000, up to
some 1 800 final recipients and projects will receive a total loan financing of approximately EUR 430 million. The total investment
in EE over this period could be at around EUR 540 million.

Article 08 02 51 (in part) — Completion of previous research framework programme — seventh framework programme — EC
indirect action (2007 to 2013).

In the period 2007-2013, a total amount of EUR 1 230,73 million has been committed from the EU budget (initial seventh
framework programme budget plus additional EFTA and third country appropriations to that programme) and paid to the EIB to
support Risk-Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF), of which EUR 960,73 million correspond to RSFF and EUR 270 million to RSI.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

A key objective of the RSFF is to improve access to debt finance for investments in research, development and innovation in the EU,
notably by private promoters. It contributes to addressing the financing needs of innovative projects and companies of all size and
ownership, including midcaps and SMEs.

The RSFF supports access to finance across the entire research, development, demonstration and innovation (RDI) spectrum, from
fundamental research to technological development, demonstration and innovation. The RSFF addresses cross-sector policy goals
and related investments needs in a demand-driven, ‘first come, first served’ way.

The RSFF, co-developed by the Commission and the EIB, was established in June 2007. The EU and the EIB are risk-sharing partners
for loans provided by the EIB directly or indirectly to beneficiaries. The European Union, through budget resources for the seventh
framework programme, and the EIB have set aside a total amount of up to EUR 2 billion (up to EUR 1 billion each) for the period
2007-2013 to cover losses if RSFF loans are not repaid. Through these EU/EIB contributions for risk-sharing and loss coverage, the
EIB is able to extend a loan volume of EUR 10 billion to companies and the research community for their investments in RDI.

RSFF beneficiaries can be European research-intensive entities (companies, stand-alone-projects) as well as research infrastructures.
RSFF loans support RDI investments made by promoters and beneficiaries located in the 28 Member States and in associated
countries.

Risk-sharing between the EU and the EIB was initially made on a loan-by-loan basis (until 2010). Since 2011, following a
recommendation by an independent expert group, risk-sharing is made on a portfolio basis, with first-loss-taking by the EU. The
EIB is assuming further risks above a certain threshold in case EU risk absorption has been fully used.

implementation and is carried out by the European Investment Fund (EIF). For this RSI pilot guarantee facility, the EU budget
coming from the seventh framework programme (plus additional EFTA and third country appropriations to that programme) for
the period 2012/2013 amounted to EUR 270 million.

The amount of EUR 375 million has been repaid from the RSFF to Equity Facility for Horizon 2020 instrument.

Article 06 02 51 (in part) — Completion of trans-European networks programme (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The LGTT is a risk-sharing debt instrument jointly established by the Union and the EIB in 2008, to accelerate and implement TENT infrastructure projects.

The ‘LGTT facilities’ are guarantee facilities provided by the EIB under LGTT to the private sector (project sponsors/promoters), to
enhance the credit rating of the senior debt by reducing traffic risk. The EIB provides a guarantee in the form of a contingent credit
line, which may be drawn upon by the project promoter during the first 5 to 7 years of operation, if the revenues generated by a
project are not sufficient to ensure repayment of the senior debt, in case the actual revenues from the project fall below the
forecasted level.

The LGTT instrument was designed in 2008, prior to the global financial crisis. Since then, revenue-based projects have become less
common due to the reluctance of the private sector to take on traffic demand risk.

The EU contribution to LGTT for the period 2007-2013 was initially set at EUR 500 million, in accordance with Regulation (EU)
No 670/2012, EUR 200 million have been reallocated to the ‘Project Bond Initiative’ and another EUR 50 million have been
reallocated to TEN-T grant funding.

The total amount of the EU contribution currently available to support LGTT projects is EUR 250 million, out of which EUR
205 million were paid in. Also EUR 7 million of revenues were recommitted to the instrument bringing the total EU contribution
provided to the EIB for LGTT at EUR 212 million as of 31 December 2014.

Following the adoption of the Regulation (EU) No 670/2012, the risk-sharing model moved from _pari passu_ to portfolio-based risksharing between the Commission and the EIB. Under the ‘portfolio approach’, the risk is divided into two tranches. A portfolio first
loss piece, to which the EU contributes 95 % and the EIB 5 % and a residual risk tranche which the EIB covers entirely. The maximal
EU risk exposure cannot exceed the budget contribution to LGTT independent of the risk-sharing model chosen.

LGTT is available for transactions approved by the EIB by end of 2014 with the financial close until 2016. Guarantees can be called
for the first 5 to 7 years’ operation, the latest drawdown date of a project in the current portfolio is the end of 2021.

_Merger of LGTT into the CEF Debt Instrument (CEF DI)_

In application of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 establishing the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), the LGTT
instrument has been merged in 2015 with the new CEF financial instruments for the period 2014-2020.

The current LGTT portfolio is composed of six TEN-T projects, representing a total amount of finance attracted of EUR 12,1 billion
(debt, equity and grants). The EU budget contribution to the instrument is EUR 212 million (EUR 205 million of payments plus
EUR 7 million of recommitted net revenues). This leads to a leverage of 57,1. No target leverage was established at the launch of the
instrument.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The Project Bond Initiative is a financial instrument developed, set up and supported jointly by the Commission and the European
Investment Bank (EIB) ( [1] ).

It aims to stimulate capital market financing for infrastructure projects in the areas of trans-European networks in transport and
energy as well as broadband networks by improving the credit quality of the senior debt such that it can be financed by a bond issue
which is attractive inter alia to institutional investors such as insurance companies and pension funds. In addition to financing
provided for the benefit of individual projects, the objective is to pave the way for the creation of a new asset class for EU
infrastructure which is investable for institutional investors. This way, the Project Bond Initiative intends to open up new sources for
infrastructure financing to complement constrained public budgets and restricted bank lending for infrastructure projects with long
term maturities.

The instrument can finance projects or part of projects eligible under the guidelines for TEN-T, TEN-E and the criteria for broadband
projects defined in the amended competitiveness and innovation framework programme. Projects are usually structured as a special
purpose vehicle (SPV) established to build, finance and operate an infrastructure project. The PBI facility provides a subordinated
debt tranche to the financial structure of the project company. This facility may take the form of a contingent credit line (‘unfunded
facility’) or a subordinated loan (‘funded facility’) and is capped at a maximum of 20 % of the total amount of senior debt. In case
the unfunded facility is called upon, the EIB becomes a creditor to the project company and amounts due under the PBI would rank
junior to the service of senior debt and senior to equity. The maximum available amount for credit enhancement under PBI is 20 %
of the nominal of the senior debt.

( [1] ) The instrument may be implemented also in cooperation with other entities in the future.

L 48/1756 EN Official Journal of the European Union 24.2.2016

COMMISSION

_INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 49(1)(E) OF THE FINANCIAL REGULATION_

The risk-sharing mechanism between the Commission and EIB operates on the basis of a first loss piece principle: the risk for the
EU budget and the EIB is divided into two tranches, a portfolio first loss piece (PFLP), which is called upon first in the event of
impairments on PBI operations, and a residual risk tranche (RRT) which is only used if PFLP has been exhausted. The EU and EIB
contribute 95 % and 5 % to PFLP, respectively. The residual risk tranche is covered entirely by the EIB.

Individual PBI operations could be approved by the EIB Board of Directors no later than end of 2014 and their financial close must
take place no later than end of 2016. The instrument will wind up when there is no more contingent exposure under any PBI
operations (or where such exposure has been declared by the EIB as unrecoverable).

The pilot phase has a total financial envelope of EUR 230 million: EUR 200 million from the TEN-T budget, EUR 10 million from
the TEN-E budget and EUR 20 million from the CIP ICT.

Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013 provides for the possible merging of the PBI with the new financial instruments under
that Regulation. In the light of the _ex ante_ assessment carried out by the Commission, the risk-sharing instrument for project bonds
established under Decision No 1639/2006/EC has been merged with the CEF Financial Instruments in 2015. The independent
evaluation of the PBI pilot phase was carried out and finalised in 2015.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

The PBI pilot phase was launched in November 2012 to test the concept. By the end of 2014, five projects in the transport, energy
and telecom sectors were signed with PBCE support, out of which one project bond transaction was carried out by the EIB without
contribution from the Union budget. The total size of the project bond credit enhancement for these transactions was EUR
493 million (out of which EUR 293 million provided as credit enhancement using EU budget), which supported bonds in amount
of EUR 2 961 million (out of which EUR 1 561 million bonds have been credit enhanced with support from the EU budget). In
total, the amount of finance (debt + equity) raised by the four projects with PBCE support from EU budget was EUR 1 892 million.

No target leverage was indicated in the legal basis. The impact assessment of the PBI pilot estimated a multiplier effect of between
15-20, depending on the size of the subordinated debt of the project and the risk-sharing arrangements.

investments in order to come to fruition. The focus shall be on supporting research and innovation with a high potential for
excellence.

The target final recipients are potentially legal entities of all sizes that can borrow and repay money and, in particular, SMEs with the
potential to carry out innovation and grow rapidly; mid-caps and large firms; universities and research institutes; research
infrastructures and innovation infrastructures; public-private partnerships; and special-purpose vehicles or projects.

The Loan and Guarantee Service for Research and Innovation is implemented towards a platform approach offering several
products specifically designed to address particular needs. The key partner as entrusted entity for the implementation of the Loan
and Guarantee Service for Research and Innovation will be the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The funding of the Loan and Guarantee Service for Research and Innovation has two main components:

— _demand-driven_, providing loans and guarantees on a first-come, first-served basis, with specific support for beneficiaries such as
SMEs and midcaps. This component shall respond to the steady and continuing growth seen in the volume of RSFF lending,
which is demand-led. This demand-driven component will be supported by the budget of the Horizon 2020 access to risk
finance programme,

—
_targeted_, focusing on policies and key sectors crucial for tackling societal challenges, enhancing competitiveness, supporting
sustainable, low-carbon, inclusive growth, and providing environmental and other public goods. This component helps the
Union address research and innovation aspects of sectorial policy objectives and will be supported by other parts of Horizon
2020, other frameworks, programmes and budget lines in the Union budget, particular regions and Member States that wish to
contribute with their own resources (including through Structural Funds) and/or specific entities (such as Joint Technology
Initiatives) or initiatives.

The expiry date of the instrument is expected to be in 2027-2030.

The total budget (primary credits) foreseen for the programming period 2014-2020 for the demand-driven part of the Loan and
Guarantee Service for Research and Innovation is EUR 1 060 million. This Horizon 2020 budget contribution will, at least, be
matched by the EIB through its own resources, thus allowing increasing the total lending capacity and impact of the Loan and
Guarantee Service for Research and Innovation by a factor of two.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 1 435 million including EUR 375 million
from the seventh framework programme RSFF.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis is 12,5 over the lifetime of the financial instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of loan volumes mobilised would be around
EUR 18 000 million.

projects,

Item 32 02 01 04 — Creating an environment more conducive to private investment for energy projects.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

**Financial instruments**

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013, the objective of the financial instruments under the CEF is to facilitate infrastructure
projects’ access to project and corporate financing by using Union funding as leverage. They shall help finance projects of common
interest with a clear EU added value, and to facilitate greater private sector involvement in the long-term financing of such projects
in the field of transport, energy and telecommunications, the latter limited to broadband networks.

They shall benefit projects with medium- to long-term financing needs and shall produce greater benefits in terms of market
impact, administrative efficiency and resource utilisation.

In addition, these instruments shall provide to infrastructure stakeholders such as financiers, public authorities, infrastructure
managers, construction companies and operators a coherent market oriented toolbox of EU financial support.

In 2014, the Commission, following the conclusion of the CEF _ex ante_ assessment foreseen in Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) No
1316/2013, decided to set-up and launch a Debt risk-sharing instrument for loans and guarantees which will also provide support
to project bonds. The Commission’s _ex ante_ assessment indicated that an equity instrument could be created at a later stage based on
the identification of corresponding needs. The _ex ante_ assessment can be found at:

**Implementation of the CEF Debt Instrument and merger of all other financial instruments under Regulation No 680/2007**

The CEF Debt Instrument (CEF DI) will be implemented following the conclusion of the signed Delegation Agreement with the EIB.
Moreover, the agreement includes the merger of existing instruments (LGTT and the PBI) with the new Debt instrument under the
CEF as of 2015.

**Impact on the budget**

As set out in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013, the indicative EU contribution for the financial Instrument for the
period 2014- 2020 shall be up to EUR 3 324 225 900 ( [1] ). This amount may however change during the commitment period, in
particular as a result of decisions taken by the budgetary authorities (European Parliament and Council) or by the Commission.

**Duration of the CEF DI**

The last tranche of the Union contribution to the CEF DI shall be committed by the Commission by 31 December 2020. The actual
approval of debt financing by the entrusted entities or the dedicated investment vehicles shall be finalised by 31 December 2022.

**Risk-sharing instrument for loans and guarantees**

The support through the subordinated debt financing shall not exceed 30 % of the total amount of the senior debt issued. The
senior debt financing to be provided under the CEF DI shall not exceed 50 % of the total amount of the overall senior debt
financing to be provided by the entrusted entity or the dedicated investment vehicle.

**Project Bond Initiative**

The risk-sharing instrument for project bonds shall be designed as a subordinated debt financing in order to facilitate financing for
project companies raising senior debt in the form of bonds, loans or a combination of loans and project bonds. This credit
enhancement instrument shall aim at improving the credit rating of senior debt in order to attract private investors to the financing
of the project. It shall rank behind the senior debt but ahead of equity and financing related to equity. The subordinated debt
financing shall not exceed 30 % of the total amount of the senior debt issued.

**Administrative, performance and treasury management fees**

As established in the legal basis, the administrative and performance fees to be paid to the EIB shall not exceed 2 % and 3 %
respectively of the Union contribution effectively used for individual operations.

The Treasury Management Fee (as under Article 13(5) of the Financial and Administrative Framework Agreement) shall not exceed
1 % of the Union contribution effectively used to cover Operations over the duration of the Financial Instrument.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

As regards the _energy sector_, the CEF DI should facilitate access of projects of common interest to long term debt financing both on
corporate and project finance basis. The instrument should in particular assist the projects of common interest where the
instrument can facilitate access to debt capital from commercial lending institutions, institutional investors or senior lending from
the Bank. The draft Delegation Agreement foresees that other categories of energy assets (e.g. renewable generation, smart
distribution grids) may benefit from the support of the CEF DI in case of ring-fenced contributions from other programmes or
bodies.

As regards the _broadband sector_, the CEF DI shall facilitate the efficient f low of private and public investments to stimulate the
deployment and modernisation of high speed broadband networks in line with the targets of the Digital Agenda for Europe. In
order to ensure best value for money and given the limited resources allocated to CEF broadband, the CEF DI shall be available for
projects which rely on the technology best suited for the specific project, can help spur innovative business models and show a high
potential for replicability. The CEF DI shall in particular address the special needs of suburban, rural, and sparsely populated and less
developed regions, which need to be served with high speed connections. This includes the deployment of broadband networks to
link islands, landlocked, mountainous, remote and peripheral regions, including island Member States, with the central regions of
the Union and/or actions to improve the reliability or performance of connections between such regions and central regions of the
Union.

( [1] ) This amount does not take into account the possible redeployment of EUR 3,3 billion to EFSI.

Agreement foresees that other categories of transport assets (e.g. urban mobility projects, transport infrastructure not located on the
TEN-T) may benefit from the support of the CEF DI in case of ring-fenced contributions from other programmes or bodies.

**Financial parameters and leverage**

Risk- and revenue-sharing parameters shall be set in such a way that specific policy objectives, including targeting of particular
categories of projects, can be achieved while still preserving the market-oriented approach of the CEF DI.

The expected leverage of the CEF DI — defined as the total funding (i.e. Union contribution plus contributions from other financial
sources) divided by the Union contribution — shall range from 6 to 15, depending on the type of operations involved (level of risk,
target beneficiaries, and the debt financing concerned).

On the basis of the expected leverage of the CEF DI, it is estimated that the total volume of financing mobilized by the instrument
could range from EUR 20 000 million to EUR 50 000 million for the total programming period, depending on the type of
operations involved (level of risk, target beneficiaries, and the type of debt financing concerned).

Article 34 02 02 — Increasing resilience of the Union to climate change.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The Natural Capital Finance Facility (NCFF) will finance upfront investment and operating costs for revenue-generating or costsaving pilot projects which promote the conservation, restoration, management and enhancement of natural capital for biodiversity
and adaptation benefits, including ecosystem-based solutions to challenges related to land, soil, forestry, agriculture, water and
waste. The NCFF combines direct and indirect financing of projects through debt and equity.

Given that the projects supported by the NCFF will be projects that the European Investment Bank (EIB) normally does not invest
in, either because they are too small or because their perceived high risk is too high, the facility includes a risk-sharing mechanism
whereby the EU funds will absorb first losses in case of project failure. The implementation mechanism is established in a delegation
agreement between the Commission and the EIB, which also defines exclusion and selection criteria for projects, ensuring that the
correct priorities are built in the selection process and that there is sufficient geographical coverage and a balanced spread over
project types.

An expert support facility is provided in order to ensure that projects reach a sufficient stage of maturity for financing. The
implementation of the NCFF has been entrusted to the EIB by means of indirect management.

The NCFF pilot phase foresees a programming period of 2014 to 2017 with an implementation period of up to 2019. The EU
contribution foreseen for this period is EUR 60 million including EUR 10 million for the Technical Support Facility.

NCFF will be developed in two phases: a pilot phase will allow testing different financing options, in order to focus on the most
suitable approaches in a second operational phase.

Projects will fall into four broad categories:

— payments for Ecosystem services (PES): projects involving payments for the f lows of benefits resulting from natural capital,
usually a small scale bilateral transaction with a well identified buyer and seller of an ecosystem service. They are based on the
beneficiary pays principle, whereby payments take place to secure critical ecosystem services,

— green infrastructure (GI): GI is a strategically planned network of natural and semi-natural areas with other environmental
features designed and managed to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. It incorporates green spaces (or blue if aquatic
ecosystems are concerned) and other physical features in terrestrial (including coastal) and marine areas. On land, GI is present
in rural and urban settings. GI projects have the potential to generate revenues or save costs based on the provision of goods
and services including water management, air quality, forestry, recreation, f lood/erosion/fire control, pollination, increased
resilience to the consequences of climate change,

— biodiversity offsets: these are conservation actions intended to compensate for the residual, unavoidable harm to biodiversity
caused by development projects. They are based on the polluter pays principle, whereby offsets are undertaken for compliance
or to mitigate reputational risks. Projects aimed at compensating damages done to Natura 2000 sites according to Article 6(4)
[of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and f lora (OJ L 206,](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=1992&mm=07&jj=22&type=L&nnn=206&pppp=0007&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

— innovative pro biodiversity and adaptation investments: these are projects involving the supply of goods and services, mostly by
SMEs, which aim to protect biodiversity or increase the resilience of communities and other business sectors.

The aim is to identify and finance projects with a sufficiently broad geographical and sector coverage, while testing various financial
mechanisms, to ensure replicability across the EU during the operational phase.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

During the initial pilot phase, the NCFF is expected to execute 9-12 operations (including indirect operations), or 3-4 operations per
year. The amount for each operation committed to any individual investments is expected to be between EUR 5 and 15 million.

The estimated EU budget allocation foreseen for the programming period (2014-2017) amounts to EUR 60 million (including EUR
10 million for the Technical Support Facility).

The target leverage effect as indicated in the Delegation Agreement is 2-4 over the lifetime of the financial instrument (31
December 2019).

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of investments and loans mobilised would be of
at least EUR 120 million for the entire duration of the programme.

The SME Initiative has been presented on 27-28 June 2013 in the Commission’s and EIB’s joint report to the European Council, to
complement and utilise synergies between existing SME support programmes at national and EU level. More specifically, the SME
Initiative is a joint-instrument, combining EU funds available under COSME and Horizon 2020 and ERDF-EAFRD resources in
cooperation with EIB/EIF in view of generating additional lending to SMEs. The EIB is the entrusted entity for the implementation of
this initiative. Three financial instruments could be implemented under the SME Initiative and they boil down in substance to two
alternative ways of operating, namely:

(a) uncapped guarantees providing capital relief to financial intermediaries for new portfolio of debt finance to SMEs; and

(b) securitisation instruments (with two possibilities, i.e. option No 2 securitisation instrument with MS contribution used
exclusively for the participating Member State and option No 3 securitisation instrument with several Member State
contributions pooled and used to provide protection on the aggregate exposure, particularly to the mezzanine tranches
guaranteed by EIF).

The period of time during which the participating Member State may commit some funds to the EIF shall expire on 31 December
2016. As it will be defined in the funding agreement that shall be signed between the EIB and the participating MS, the selected
financial intermediary will originate new debt finance no later than the end of the eligibility period (i.e. 31 December 2023).

In terms of budget, Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 foresees a limit of EUR 8,5 billion of aggregate ERDF-EAFRD to be committed
under the SME Initiative. In that scenario, the corresponding maximum COSME and Horizon 2020 contributions would amount to
EUR 175 million each over the 2014-2016 period.

As of end 2014, two Member States confirmed their participation: Spain (ERDF contribution of EUR 800 million) and Malta (ERDF
contribution of EUR 15 million).

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to approximately EUR 850 million (ERDF and
Horizon 2020) for Spain and Malta.

The minimum leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis and in the _ex ante_ evaluation is 4 over the lifetime of the financial
instrument for the ERDF contribution in Spain and Malta.

Based on the minimum leverage of the instrument agreed in the single dedicated national programme, it is estimated that the total
amount of investments/loan volumes mobilised would be around EUR 6 billion for Spain and Malta (based (based on all available
funds, i.e. ERDF, Horizon 2020, EIB/EIF and private (bank) funds).

A portion of the new Debt Finance portfolio equal to at least 20 times the contribution under Regulations (EU) No 1287/2013 and
(EU) No 1291/2013 should fulfil respectively the COSME and/or Horizon 2020 eligibility criteria. Therefore, the following table is

[Microfinance Facility for employment and social inclusion (OJ L 87, 7.4.2010, p. 1).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=04&jj=07&type=L&nnn=087&pppp=0001&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

Article 04 03 53 (in part) — Completion of other activities (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The aim of the European Progress Microfinance Facility is twofold: on the one hand, it increases availability of microfinance for
persons wishing to start up or develop their micro-enterprises, including for self-employment, in the sense that it enables
microfinance providers in the EU to enlarge their lending volumes to these individuals. On the other hand, Progress Microfinance
enhances access to microfinance by reducing microfinance providers’ risk. This feature allows microfinance providers to reach out
to groups who could normally not be served, for instance, because persons from these groups could not provide sufficient collateral
or because the interest rates would have to be very high to justify their actual risk profile.

The Facility provides Union resources to increase access to, and availability of, microfinance for:

— persons who have lost or are at risk of losing their job, or who have difficulties entering or re-entering the labour market, as
well as persons who are facing the threat of social exclusion or vulnerable persons who are in a disadvantaged position with
regard to access to the conventional credit market and who want to start or further develop their own micro-enterprise,
including self-employment,

— micro-enterprises, especially in the social economy, as well as micro-enterprises which employ persons referred to in the
preceding indent.

The financial contribution from the Union budget for the Facility for the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2013
amounts to EUR 103,6 million, out of which EUR 23,6 million for the EPMF Guarantee Facility (EPMF-G) and EUR 80 million for
the EPMF _Fonds Commun de Placement_ — _Fonds d’Investissement Spécialisé_ (EPMF FCP-FIS).

The Facility is implemented by using the following types of actions, as appropriate:

— guarantees (EPMF-G),

— debt and equity instruments (FCP-FIS),

— support measures, such as communication activities, monitoring, control, audit and evaluation which are directly necessary for
the effective and efficient implementation of Decision No 283/2010/EU and for the achievement of its objectives.

The micro-credit guarantee window shall remain in full force and effect until 31 December 2020.

The FCP-FIS is expected to end on 30 April 2020.

No further budgetary commitments have been made by the Commission since the end of the commitment period.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 103,6 million (cumulative budget for EPMF
Guarantee and EPMF FCP-FIS).

The target leverage effect of the EPMF facility is 4,83 over the lifetime of the financial instruments (EPMF Guarantee and EPMF FCPFIS).

Based on the target leverage of the EPMF facility, it is estimated that the total amount of loan volumes mobilised would be around
EUR 500 million.

The aggregate EPMF FCP-FIS budgetary commitments for the period 2010-2013 amount to a total of EUR 80 million. The target
volumes of lending to beneficiary persons and micro-enterprises are estimated to EUR 226,4 million for the EPMF (FCP-FIS) debt
and equity instruments ( [1] ).

Commission Decision C(2010) 941 of 25 February 2010 on European Union participation in the 2020 European Fund for Energy,
Climate Change and Infrastructure (the Marguerite Fund).

(ii) _**Budget lines corresponding to the relevant operations**_

Article 06 02 51 (in part) — Completion of trans-European networks programme (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The Marguerite Fund is a pan-European equity fund developed in the context of the financial crisis and in recognition of the need
for successful long-term infrastructure investment in Europe. It supports infrastructure investment within the transport (TEN-T),
energy (TEN-E) and renewables sectors in Member States and will primarily invest in Greenfield Projects.

The core sponsors include public long term investors from France (CDC), Italy (CdP), Germany (KfW), Spain (ICO) and Poland
(PKO) as well as the EIB and the Commission. The size of the Fund at final close is EUR 710 million.

EC aggregate budgetary commitments: EUR 80 million from the TEN-T budget

Expected results:

— 30 to 40 % of the total commitments invested in the transport sector,

— 25 to 35 % invested in the energy sector,

— 35 to 45 % invested in the renewable energies sector,

— at least 3,5 times the EC commitment to be invested into TEN-T eligible projects.

The investment period ends in December 2016 (with a possible extension of two more years) while the end-date/maturity of the
fund has been set at a maximum term of 20 years from the start of the initial closing (December 2009) but may be extended for up
to two additional one-year periods (up to December 2031).

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 80 million (fully committed in 2010).

No target leverage effect was indicated in the legal basis and no _ex ante_ evaluation was produced by Commission services before the
Commission decided to invest in the dedicated investment vehicle. However consultants prepared a market analysis assessing the
existence of an equity gap for European infrastructure for the founding investors of Marguerite in 2009 to which the Commission
services had access.

_INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 49(1)(E) OF THE FINANCIAL REGULATION_

Using an estimated leverage of 125 it is estimated that the total amount of finance mobilised by the instrument (both equity and
debt) would be around EUR 10 billion (of which circa EUR 4 billion are expected to be allocated to TEN-T transport projects) for the
entire duration of the programme.

The leverage effect was estimated using the following method: equity provided by the Marguerite Fund is assumed to represent
7,1 % of the amount of finance provided to projects. The Commission contribution represents 11,27 % of Marguerite equity or in
other terms 0,8 % of the amount of finance mobilised by projects. This means that the leverage is 1/0,8 % = 125.

Regulation (EU) No 1233/2010 of the European Parliament and the Council of 15 December 2010 amending Regulation (EC) No
663/2009 establishing a programme to aid economic recovery by granting Community financial assistance to projects in the field
[of energy (OJ L 346, 30.12.2010, p. 5).](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Result.do?aaaa=2010&mm=12&jj=30&type=L&nnn=346&pppp=0005&RechType=RECH_reference_pub&Submit=Search)

(ii) _**Budget lines corresponding to the relevant operations**_

Article 32 02 52 (in part) — Completion of energy projects to aid economic recovery (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

On 1 July 2011, EUR 146,3 million from the European Energy Programme for Recovery (EEPR) were allocated to a new European
Energy Efficiency Fund — EEEF (in the form of a specialised investment fund (SICAV)). The EEEF invests in energy efficiency,
renewable energy projects, and clean urban transport particularly in urban settings, achieving at least 20 % energy saving or GHG/
CO 2 emission reduction.

The beneficiaries must be public authorities or public or private entities acting on their behalf, including ESCOs ( [1] ).

The Fund was launched on 1 July 2011 with an initial volume of EUR 265 million: in addition to the EU contribution
(EUR 125 million in junior ‘C-shares’), the European Investment Bank (EIB) invested EUR 75 million (mainly senior ‘A shares’),
Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA (CDP) EUR 60 million (mainly senior ‘A shares’); and the designated investment manager (Deutsche
Bank) EUR 5 million (mezzanine ‘B shares’).

The Fund offers a range of non-standard financial products such as senior and junior loans, guarantees, equity participation or
forfeiting schemes which can be combined in a f lexible way with standard finance.

In addition, about EUR 20 million of the EU funding is available for technical assistance (in the form of grants) to help sponsors
make projects bankable for the Fund. Finally, a EUR 1,3 million programme has been established to raise awareness of financing
methods and options for EE and RE (renewable energy) among national and regional authorities managing the Cohesion Fund or
the Structural Funds. EPEC ( [2] ) manages this programme.

In accordance with the amending Regulation, the deadline for allocating EU funds to investment projects and technical assistance
(TA) is 31 March 2014. By this date, some 12 projects were approved for some EUR 200 million, thus fully allocating the EU
contribution. Apart from this, there is no fixed deadline for proposals. The winding-down of the instrument will take place
probably after 2024.

_Fund/Investment Manager_

Deutsche Bank (DB) is responsible i.e. for selecting projects and conducting a due diligence process before submitting the projects to
the Fund’s Investment Committee for advice and to the Management Board for approval. DB also manages the TA component,
submitting TA propositions to DG ENER for approval.

( [1] ) An energy service company (ESCO), via an energy performance contract (EPC), can enable a public authority to implement upfront investments (e.g. to
upgrade the performance levels of public buildings or to install efficient street lighting) without taking the financial risk.
( [2] ) The European PPP Expertise Centre (EPEC) is a joint initiative of the EIB, the Commission, Member States and candidate countries. EPEC helps
strengthen the capacity of its public sector members to enter into Public Private Partnership (PPP) transactions.

_Investment Committee_

The Investment Committee (IC) is responsible for assessing projects submitted to it by the fund manager and giving recommendations to the Management Board (MB). Two EIB members and one member from CDP were appointed to the IC.

_Management Board (MB)_

The MB has broad powers to administrate and manage the Fund; it decides on the investments upon recommendation by the IC.
However, it cannot decide on major issues (such as change of the statutes and documentation) without approval by the Supervisory
Board (SB). It reports quarterly to the SB. It is composed of representatives from the Commission (1), the EIB (1, the chair) and the
CDP (1).

_Supervisory Board_

The SB’s main duties include a permanent supervision of the management of the Fund, giving strategic advice to the MB, proposing
the annual Fund business plan for Shareholder approval, and approving changes in the investment guidelines etc. It is composed of
representatives from the Commission (2), the EIB (1) and the CDP (1).

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

Budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 146,3 million (fully committed in 2011, EUR
125 million to the Fund, EUR 20 million in the form of a technical assistance facility (grant) and EUR 1,3 million for awareness
raising activities.

No target leverage effect was indicated in the legal basis and no full _ex ante_ evaluation was produced before the Commission decided
to invest in the dedicated investment vehicle, but in any case a business plan and risk scenarios were prepared. The foreseen leverage
effect is 5,6 (based on a contribution of EUR 125 million to the fund and expected fund volume up to EUR 700 million over the
lifetime of the financial instrument).

One of the priorities of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and of the new European Neighbourhood
Instrument (ENI), is promoting investment projects in European Neighbourhood Policy partner countries, the scope of which covers
the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF).

The EU launched the NIF in 2007. The following eight Commission Decisions have been adopted for this instrument during the
period 2007-2013 for a total envelope of EUR 777,4 million (EUR 467,2 million for ENPI South budget line and EUR 310,2 million
from ENPI East budget line): C(2007) 6280, C(2008) 2698, C(2009) 3951, C(2009) 8985, C(2010) 4400, C(2010) 7989, C(2011)
5547, C(2012) 4533 and C(2013) 1276. In 2014 additional commitments of EUR 381,7 million were approved: EUR
369,4 million in Decision C(2014) 5750 and a top-up of EUR 12,3 million from Decision C(2013) 5300. This provides for
aggregated figures for the 2007-2014 period of EUR 732 520 334,34 for the South and 426 585 901,58 for the East (in total EUR
1 159 106 235,92).

The NIF has included since the beginning of 2011 a Climate Change Window (CCW) under the Environment and the Sustainable
Management of Natural Resources including Energy Thematic Programme (ENRTP) of the Development Cooperation Instrument to
support the implementation of projects helping partner countries tackle climate change through mitigation and/or adaptation
measures. The NIF CCW is managed in a streamlined way and has in general the same rules and the same financing and
implementation modalities as the NIF.

24.2.2016 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 48/1773

COMMISSION

_INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 49(1)(E) OF THE FINANCIAL REGULATION_

The NIF’s overarching objective is to mobilise additional investments to support the establishment of an area of prosperity and good
neighbourliness involving the EU and neighbouring countries. In complementarity with other EU-funded programmes, the NIF can
foster sustainable, inclusive growth and a favourable investment climate in our partner countries.

Within this framework, the NIF pursues three strategic objectives, namely:

— establishing better energy and transport infrastructure interconnections between the EU and neighbouring countries and among
neighbouring countries themselves,

— addressing threats to our common environment including climate change,

— promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, in particular through support for small and medium size enterprises.

The NIF operations will continue to support the implementation of the ENP Action Plans and focus on five main sectors: energy,
environment with a particular focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation, transport, social and small and medium
enterprise development.

_Geographical coverage and final recipients_

European Neighbourhood Policy partner countries directly eligible for the NIF are neighbourhood countries having signed an
Action Plan with the EU except for those that do not qualify because of their level of development. On a case by case basis, other
countries which are not directly eligible may benefit from NIF interventions taking into account regional or specific circumstances.
Their eligibility will have to be decided unanimously by Member States and the Commission.

Other final recipients will be the private sector and in particular the SMEs. Both multilateral and national European development
finance institutions might be direct beneficiaries and important stakeholders of the facility.

_Main technical characteristics_

Under the instrument, risk capital (equity and quasi-equity investments), risk-sharing instruments, guarantees, loans, other financing
such as investment grants, interest rate subsidies and technical assistance can be used.

_Duration and impact on the budget_

The decisions relating to this instrument are valid for the multiannual financial frameworks 2007-2013 and 2014-2020 and may
be extended further following decisions on the next multiannual financial framework.

The final date for contracting is 31 December 2015 relating to decisions from 2014. This is not the date of duration of the facility
but the final date for contracting of the individual decisions establishing the facility. The duration of individual projects is
established on a case-by-case basis with a maximum of 120 months from the date of entry into force of the financing agreement or,
when none is concluded, from the adoption of the 2014 Action Document creating the NIF.

Based on the first results from the NIF, the Commission proposed to set up investment facilities targeting countries under the
Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) Regulation, initially in Central Asia, Asia and Latin America. Two facilities were set up
for Asia: the Investment Facility for Central Asia (IFCA) in 2010 and the Asian Investment Facility (AIF) in 2011 for the period
2010-2013. These two facilities have been modelled on the NIF and have the same types of objectives and scope as those defined in
the NIF general framework agreed in March 2008 (cf. section on NIF).

As of end 2013, there have been three decisions for the IFCA financed through the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 budgets and three
decisions for AIF financed through the 2011 and 2012 (jointly), 2013 and 2014 budgets.

AIF was recreated in 2014 in order to achieve the objectives of the Regulation (EU) No 233/2014 for the period 2014-2020

_Policy objectives and scope_

The IFCA’s main purpose is to promote additional investments and key infrastructures with a priority focus in the first
implementation period on energy and environment. Based on the development of the Central Asia strategies, a later extension to
transport, SMEs and social infrastructure sectors in the Central Asian countries was envisaged.

The AIF’s main purpose is to promote additional investments and key infrastructure with a priority focus on climate change and
‘green’ investments in the areas of environment and energy as well as in SMEs and social infrastructure. A later extension to the
transport sector could be envisaged.

(1) _IFCA_

The budgetary impact understood as the total financial envelope in terms of budgetary commitments for the IFCA is of EUR
85,57 million. The target leverage effect based on historical leverage experience during the period 2010-2014 for the IFCA is
estimated as follows:

— total project cost ( _circa_ EUR 465 million) / IFCA contributions ( _circa_ EUR 82 million): 5,6,

— eligible finance institutions resources ( _circa_ EUR 342 million) / IFCA contributions: 4,17.

These volumes have a solely indicative character as the calculation disregards the time as well as the differentiation effects.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 140 million.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis and in the _ex ante_ evaluation is 4 to 5 over the lifetime of the financial
instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of EUR 140 million would mobilise a maximum
of EUR 700 million in financing (loans/investment volumes) for the entire duration of the programme.

(2) _AIF_

The budgetary impact understood as the total financial envelope in terms of budgetary commitments for the AIF is of EUR
62 million. The target leverage effect based on historical leverage experience during the period 2011-2014 for the AIF is estimated
as follows:

— total project cost ( _circa_ EUR 2 046 billion) / AIF contributions ( _circa_ EUR 62 million): 32,98,

— eligible finance institutions resources ( _circa_ EUR 1 043 billion)/AIF contributions: 16,82.

These volumes have a solely indicative character as the calculation disregards the time as well as the differentiation effects.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 350 million.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis and in the _ex ante_ evaluation is 4 to 5 times over the lifetime of the financial
instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of EUR 350 million would mobilise around
EUR 1,75 billion in financing (loans/investment volumes) for the entire duration of the programme.

In 2014, one top-up for LAIF (decision 021-734) of EUR 1 050 000 million was carried out and a decision of EUR 30 000 000
was taken. The budgetary impact understood as the total financial envelope in terms of budgetary commitments for the LAIF is
of EUR 227 700 000 The target leverage effect based on historical leverage experience during the period 2010-2014 for the LAIF is
estimated as follows:

— total project costs ( _circa_ EUR.6,61 billion) / LAIF contributions ( _circa_ EUR 197,7 million): 33,4,

— eligible finance institutions resources (EUR 2,96 billion) / LAIF contributions : 14,95.

These volumes have a solely indicative character as the calculation disregards the time as well as the differentiation effects.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 350 million.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis in the _ex ante_ evaluation is 4 to 5 over the lifetime of the financial
instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of EUR 350 million would mobilise a maximum
EUR 1,75 billion financing (loans/investments volumes) for the entire duration of the programme.

The Financial Instrument of the European Union for the Guarantee Facility contributes to achieving the objectives of enhancing
socio-economic growth of the Western Balkans.

Its major objectives are the creation of preconditions for the emergence and growth of innovative and high-potential companies.
The instrument will guarantee SME loan portfolios issued by commercial banks for new SME lending. This will entail improving
SME access to lending and potentially lowering the cost of borrowing.

Under the instrument, guarantees of first loss of new loans to targeted SMEs with a guarantee rate of up to 70 % and a guarantee
cap of up to 25 % in the overall loan portfolio can be used. Exact guarantee rate and cap is being determined on a case-by-case
basis.

The European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE) is a form of public-private-partnership. Its objective is to attract capital from the
private sector thereby leveraging public donor funds that will assist the development of the private sector in the region. EFSE
extends loans to local commercial banks and micro-finance institutions in the Western Balkans for on-lending to micro and small
enterprises and households. The European Investment Fund (EIF) manages the EFSE, the latter generating impacts at three different
levels:

— supporting micro and small enterprises as the backbone of the local economies, thereby contributing to generating income and
creating employment,

— satisfying the basic need of decent shelter,

— strengthening local financial markets.

The fund has a revolving nature and has an undetermined duration. Extension of the underlying delegation agreements establishing
a trusteeship for the IPA funds in EFSE with EIF is planned under IPA II, multi-country programme 2015 (subject to decision).

The total amount of the EU contributions to EFSE, i.e. EUR 88 968 090 includes share and cash transfers from other instruments
during the period 2006- 2011.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

No commitment for additional financing from IPA II of the new shares subscriptions in EFSE was foreseen in 2015 (other than EUR
1,6 million of additional allocation towards the trusteeship fees of EIF until end 2023).

The estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period as at 31/12/2014 equals the total allocation to date, i.e.
EUR 88 968 090.

The achieved leverage effect of the EFSE at present is in the order of 40.

Based on the achieved leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that it will generate in excess of EUR 3,6 billion of loans to eligible
final recipients.

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The mission of the Green for Growth Fund, south-east Europe is to contribute, in the form of a public private partnership with a
layered risk/return structure, to enhancing energy efficiency (EE) and fostering renewable energies (RE) in south-east Europe and
Turkey, predominantly through the provision of dedicated financing to businesses and households via partnering with financial
institutions and direct financing.

GGF’s investments seek to achieve a 20 % reduction in energy consumption and/or a 20 % reduction in CO 2 emissions, by

— refinancing financial institutions (local commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions such as microfinance institutions and
leasing companies and other selected financial institutions) providing loans to households, businesses, municipalities and public
sector for energy efficiency measures or renewable energy projects. Investments through financial institutions will constitute the
majority of GGF’s investments,

— providing direct financing to non-financial institutions (energy service companies, renewable energy companies or projects,
small scale renewable energy and energy efficiency service and supply companies) that meet GGF energy-saving and/or
emissions targets, and comply with the technical criteria and GGF exclusion list.

The fund has a revolving nature and has an undetermined duration. Extension of the underlying delegation agreements establishing
a trusteeship for the IPA funds in EFSE with EIF is planned under IPA II, multi-country programme 2015 (subject to decision).

The total amount of the EU contributions to the GGF, i.e. EUR 38 633 232, includes subscription to C-shares.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

No commitment for additional financing from IPA II of the new shares subscriptions in GGF was foreseen in 2015 (other than EUR
1,6 million of additional allocation towards the trusteeship fees of EIF until end 2023).

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period as at 31 December 2014 equals the total allocation to date,
i.e. EUR 38 633 232.

The leverage effect of GGF at present is in the order of 8,6 (total size of the fund, divided by EU contribution). It is estimated that
the leverage will generate in excess of EUR 330 million of loans to eligible final recipients.

Crisis Response Package, IPA 2009/021-373.

(ii) _**Budget lines corresponding to the relevant operations**_

Item 22 02 51 — Completion of former pre-accession assistance (prior to 2014) (in 2014 budget nomenclature).

(iii) _**General description of the financial instruments, including their duration and their impact on the budget**_

The overall objective of the SME Recovery Support Loan for Turkey is to mitigate the crisis impact for SMEs and contribute to the
development of the Turkish economy and employment sector. The main objective is to support SMEs with concrete productive
investments by providing access to attractive and longer-dated debt financing. The co-financing of loans is to be provided to local
commercial banks operating in Turkey (the ‘financial intermediaries’) for the benefit of eligible investments carried out by SMEs. In
the context of the action, the European Investment Bank (EIB) shall extend loans from its own resources together with the Union
contribution loans.

Individual SMEs are eligible for financing from a financial intermediary using funding available through the action (each a ‘sub-loan’)
up to a maximum amount of EUR 5,0 million and a minimum amount of EUR 200 000 and with a minimum maturity of 4 years.

The financial Commission commitment of the instrument amounts to EUR 30,0 million (of which EUR 360 000 are for
management fees). It is a joint management action with the European Investment Bank (EIB) who contributes with
EUR 120,0 million. The action will end in December 2016. The whole duration of the recovery support will extend probably to
2026.

(iv) _**Envisaged operations, including target volumes based on the leverage effect arising from the existing financial instruments**_

The 2009 EU commitment of EUR 30 million has supported a lending volume of EUR 150 million to the two participating Turkish
banks.

Estimated budget allocation foreseen for the total programming period amounts to EUR 30 million.

The target leverage effect as indicated in the legal basis and in the _ex ante_ evaluation is ‘1 to 10’ over the lifetime of the financial
instrument.

Based on the target leverage of the instrument, it is estimated that the total amount of loan volumes mobilised would be around
EUR 300 million for the entire duration of the programme.

_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.

_Remarks_

Already in 2011, the Court of Justice of the European Union presented to the European Parliament and the Council a
proposal for an increase in the number of Judges at the General Court. It renewed and strengthened that proposal in
October 2014 with all the more gravity because several actions had been brought during 2014 against the excessive
duration of proceedings before the General Court, on the basis of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights,
including very substantial claims for damages.

The Court’s new proposal confirms the necessity for the immediate reinforcement of the General Court by the addition
of 12 Judges, but also forms part of a longer perspective of structural change to the General Court and of simplification
of the judicial architecture of the Union, that provides for the merging of the Civil Service Tribunal with its seven
Judges, with the General Court and then, as of 2019, for a further addition of nine Judges.

In the financial year 2016, the following budgetary consequences must be allowed for:

— the appropriations required for a period of 12 months for the reinforcement of the General Court by 12 additional
Judges, and

— the appropriations to be provided for the merging of the Civil Service Tribunal with the General Court from 1
September 2016.

Pending the decision of the European Parliament and the Council, the necessary budget appropriations are entered in
the form of a reserve in Title 10 of the Court's budget; those appropriations can then be released only with the
authorisation of the budgetary authority.
