EUROPEAN COMMISSION
            Brussels, 28.7.2017
            COM(2017) 385 final
            2017/0163(COD)
            Proposal for a
            REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
            amending Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 establishing the Creative Europe programme (2014 to 2020) 
            
               
         
         
            
               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
            
            
               The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) was founded in 1976 following a Resolution of the European Parliament
                  1
                and has been performing in the name of the European Union for the last 40 years. Its Honorary President is the President of the European Parliament and its honorary patrons are the Heads of State or Government of the Member States, headed by the President of the European Commission. 
            
            
               The EUYO is composed of young musicians from all Member States of the Union, who are selected according to demanding quality criteria. It unites very talented young musicians from Europe in a world-class European orchestra that transcends cultural boundaries.
            
            
               Since its inception, the EUYO has played a unique role in promoting intercultural dialogue, mutual respect and understanding through culture. It has performed in major cities and festivals in Europe and around the world, in a variety of formal and informal settings using traditional and innovative formats and techniques for diverse audiences. Through its activities, it has acted as a cultural ambassador for the Union by showcasing the richness and diversity of European cultures and emerging talents. 
            
            
               As a group of outstanding young musicians working together to achieve a very high level of orchestral performance, the EUYO is a unique orchestra on the European scene, showcasing European music and talent to diverse audiences within the EU and beyond.
            
            
               At a time when the EU is facing multiple challenges and a need to connect more with its citizens, the EUYO has an even more important role to play in conveying Europe’s core values, building bridges among people through classical music and reaching out to the younger generation in Europe by bringing together young classical musicians of diverse backgrounds through concerts and mentoring schemes.
            
            
               EU funding is essential to the EUYO’s survival as a body promoting European values, diversity and young talent. Without such support, it could not engage in these empowering activities and young musicians would be deprived of a unique opportunity to perform internationally, build their careers and develop their talent further under the guidance of renowned conductors. Its 3 000 alumni, who all came through a rigorous annual audition process conducted in all Member States, have gone on to form a network of notable conductors, soloists, teachers and instrumentalists working with major orchestras around the world. 
            
            
               The Creative Europe programme and its predecessor funding schemes have supported the EUYO in various ways. In 2016, the EUYO received an operating grant under Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012
                  2
                as a body that pursues an aim of general EU interest or has an objective forming part of and supporting EU culture policy. In 2017, it will be financed in the same way.
            
            
               In order to make sustainable provision for the EUYO’s continued activity and in the light of its specific status, strategic objectives and activities, the Commission proposes that it be recognised as a ‘body identified by a basic act’ within the meaning of Article 190(1)(d) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012
                  3
                and that Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013
                  4
                be amended accordingly.
            
            
               2.    LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
            
            
               •Legal basis
            
            
               
                  This proposal amends Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 in respect of the Creative Europe culture subprogramme and is therefore based on the first indent of Article 167(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). 
               
            
            
               •Subsidiarity
            
            
               Under Article 167 TFEU, the Union is to take action to support and supplement the action of the Member States. As the EUYO’s objectives and activities go beyond the sole interest and benefit of one or several Member States and it was created following a Resolution of the European Parliament, there is clear complementarity in establishing it as a body identified by a basic act within the meaning of Article 190(1)(d) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012.  Its activities generate significant European added value. 
            
            
               •Proportionality
            
            
               
                  The proposed amendment is limited to what is strictly necessary to address the issue and does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives. It is limited to changes to include a reference to the EUYO in Article 13(1) of Regulation No 1295/2013.
               
            
            
               3.RESULTS OF EX POST ASSESSMENT, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS 
            
            
               In spring 2016, in the context of a public campaign (SaveEUYO) in support of the EUYO, which was facing financial problems threatening its very existence, a number of culture and music stakeholders publicly expressed support for it in press statements and contacts with the Commission. Member States (in particular at the Culture Ministers Council in May 2016) and Members of the European Parliament have supported the idea of finding a solution for its funding.
            
         
         
            
               In the light of the limited scope of the proposed amendment, which has no significant economic, environmental and social impacts per se, no impact assessment or further consultations are needed. 
            
            
               4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS
            
            
               The funding for the EUYO will come from the existing financial envelope of the Creative Europe programme and will not require additional resources from the EU budget. The attached "legislative financial statement" shows the budgetary implications and the human and administrative resources required demonstrating the budgetary neutrality of this initiative.
            
            
               5.OTHER ELEMENTS
            
            
               In its proposal, the Commission proposes: 
            
            
               ·to create a legally sound and transparent solution to ensure sustainable support for the EUYO, taking account of its specific features, by recognising it as a ‘body identified by a basic act’ within the meaning of Article 190(1) (d) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012; 
            
            
               ·and to add a new point (f) in Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 accordingly.
            
            
               2017/0163 (COD)
            
            
               Proposal for a
            
            
               REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
            
            
               amending Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 establishing the Creative Europe programme (2014 to 2020) 
            
            
               THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
            
            
               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular the first indent of Article 167(5) thereof,
            
            
               Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
            
            
               After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
            
            
               Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee
                  5
               , 
            
            
               Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions
                  6
               , 
            
            
               Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  7
                established the Creative Europe programme (2014 to 2020) for support for the European cultural and creative sectors. 
            
         
         
            
               (2)The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) is composed of young musicians selected according to demanding quality criteria through a rigorous annual audition process in all Member States.
            
            
               (3)The EUYO unites very talented young musicians from Europe in a world-class European orchestra that transcends cultural boundaries. Since its creation, it has played a unique role in promoting intercultural dialogue, mutual respect and understanding through culture. It has thus acted as a cultural ambassador for the Union in showcasing the richness and diversity of European cultures, and emerging talents. It has also contributed to the circulation of European works and the mobility of young European talent beyond national and European borders, providing young musicians from the Member States with the opportunity to build their careers and develop their skills further under the guidance of renowned conductors. 
            
            
               (4)The EUYO’s activities are in line with the objectives of the Creative Europe programme and the specific objectives of the culture sub-programme. 
            
            
               (5)The EUYO was founded following a Resolution of the European Parliament in 1976
                  8
                and is thus unique among orchestras in Europe. Due to its specific status, strategic objectives and activities, the EUYO qualifies as a "body identified by a basic act" within the meaning of Article 190 (1)(d) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012
                  9
               . Therefore, grants may be awarded without a call for proposals. 
            
            
               (6)The EUYO should therefore be included among the measures benefitting from support from the Culture Sub-programme.
            
            
               (7)Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly,
            
            
               HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

               In Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013, the following point (f) is added:
            
            
               ‘(f)

                  The EUYO has been supported by Creative Europe and its predecessor funding schemes in various ways. Its excellence is widely recognised. However, the absence of sustainable support has been an obstacle to the further development of its activities. Without such support at EU level, it would not be in a position to continue its activities. The Union would lose an important cultural ambassador and young musicians would be deprived of a unique opportunity to perform internationally, build their careers and develop their talent further under the guidance of renowned conductors.

               Cost structure
            
            
               Based on previous experience with the financing of the EUYO at EU level, notably still in the framework of the Creative Europe programme, an appropriate operating grant for this organisation would amount to EUR 600 000.
