GENERAL STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURE
INTRODUCTION TO THE UNION’S ANNUAL BUDGET
The Union’s annual budget (‘the budget’), as set out in Chapter 3 of Title II of Part Six of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure appropriations 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 must 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 
principle of transparency
 ensures sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts.
The budget presents revenue and expenditure appropriations by section, one for each of the Union institutions as defined in Article 2, point 67, of the Financial Regulation. The revenue appropriations common to all Union institutions (own resources, surpluses, balances and adjustments) are presented in a separate section ‘Total revenue’.
In accordance with Article 47 of the Financial Regulation, Commission revenue and the revenue appropriations and expenditure appropriations of the other Union institutions are classified according to their type or the use to which they are assigned. The section of the budget relating to the Commission is classified according to the purpose of the expenditure, 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.
On its expenditure side, the budget contains differentiated appropriations, which consist of commitment appropriations and payment appropriations, and non-differentiated appropriations. Commitment appropriations cover the total cost of the legal commitments entered into during the financial year, whereas payment appropriations cover payments made to honour the legal commitments entered into in the financial year or preceding financial years.
For 2024, the expenditure appropriations authorised by the budget totals EUR 189 385 440 186 in commitments and EUR 142 630 300 039 in payments, representing a variation rate of 1,6 % and of –13,7 % respectively by comparison with the 2023 budget (including amending budgets).
In accordance with Article 312 of the TFEU, the budget complies with the ceilings for the year 2024 of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027 in accordance with Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 of 17 December 2020 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 (
OJ L 433I, 22.12.2020, p. 11
). In this respect, this section (‘General statement of expenditure’) includes two overview tables presenting the budget according to the structure by heading of the MFF, at aggregate level as well as at cluster and programme level.
This section also includes the overview table of the establishment plan posts of all Union institutions (and bodies) and the overview table of buildings.

GENERAL REVENUE
A.   
FINANCING OF THE UNION’S ANNUAL BUDGET
Introduction
According to the equilibrium principle, the total budgeted revenue of the Union must equal the total budgeted expenditure of the Union. When determining Member States’ own resources contributions, the starting point is the total amount of authorised expenditure (payment appropriations). A minor part of that amount is covered by other revenue (taxes levied on the salaries of Union staff, interest on late payments, fines and contributions from third countries to certain programmes, etc.). The remainder is financed by Member States’ own resources contributions.
Own resources can be divided into the following categories:
—
traditional own resources, mainly customs duties, collected on behalf of the Union by the Member States;
—
the own resource based on value added tax (VAT): a small proportion of the VAT collected by each Member State;
—
the own resource based on plastic packaging waste that is not recycled: a small amount applied to the weight of non-recycled plastic packaging waste generated in each Member State;
—
the own resource based on gross national income (GNI), which is a proportion of Member States’ GNI aggregate. It serves as the balancing resource. It finances all spending not covered by other sources of revenue so that budgeted revenue and expenditure are always in balance.
The key for determining the own resources is Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 
(
16
)
. That Decision entered into force on 1 June 2021, with retroactive effect as from 1 January 2021, after the ratification by all Member States according to their national constitutional requirements. It defines a new system of own resources, which includes the introduction of a new category of own resources.
Budgetary revenue totals EUR 142 630 300 039. The uniform rate of call for the VAT-based own resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,4579 %. Traditional own resources account for 17,26 % of the financing of the 2024 budget. The VAT-based own resource accounts for 16,56 %, the plastic-based own resource accounts for 4,97 % and the GNI-based own resource for 56,91 %. Other revenue for the financial year 2024 is estimated at EUR 6 131 117 988.
Own resources needed to finance the 2024 budget account for 0,77 % of the total GNI of the Union.
The total amount of own resources allocated to the Union to cover annual appropriations for payments shall not exceed 1,40 % of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs (own resources ceiling). This ceiling is temporarily increased by 0,6 percentage points for the sole purpose of covering all liabilities of the Union arising from the allocation of the resources necessary for addressing the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis.
The appropriations to be covered by the own resources referred to in Article 2 of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 include the costs associated with the funds borrowed on the capital markets and on behalf of the Union in the framework of the European Union Recovery Instrument 
(

)
.
The tables below set out step-by-step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2024 budget.

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, the plastic-based own resource and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the budget 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 (plastic-based own resource, VAT-based resource, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.
The rate to be applied to the Member States’ GNI for financial year 2024 is 0,4579 %.

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 1(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2021/768.
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 16 05 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.
Any corrections to those 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.
The Commission shall inform the Member States of the amounts resulting from that calculation before 1 February of the year following that in which the data for the adjustments were supplied.
Legal basis

Remarks
Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark and Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of 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 GNI and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/516 of 19 March 2019 on the harmonisation of gross national income at market prices (
OJ L 91, 29.3.2019, p. 19
).
Also in accordance with Article 332 TFEU, and based on Article 91(7) of Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 of 12 October 2017 implementing enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (‘the EPPO’) (
OJ L 283, 31.10.2017, p. 1
), the expenditure of the EPPO shall be borne by the participating Member States.
The Commission works out each Member State’s balance and informs it in time for that Member State to enter its balance in the account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 on the first working day of December, in accordance with Article 11 of that Regulation.
Legal basis

—
generate knowledge, strengthen the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing Union policies and support the access to and uptake of innovative solutions in European industry, notably in SMEs, and in society to address global challenges, including climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals,
—
foster all forms of innovation, facilitate technological development, demonstration and knowledge and technology transfer, strengthen deployment and exploitation of innovative solutions,
—
optimise Horizon Europe's delivery for strengthening and increasing the impact and attractiveness of the European Research Area, to foster the excellence-based participations from all Member States, including low R&I performing Member States, in Horizon Europe and to facilitate collaborative links in European research and innovation.
Horizon Europe shall ensure the effective promotion of equal opportunities for all and the implementation of gender mainstreaming, including the integration of the gender dimension in R&I content.
Horizon Europe shall be implemented in synergy with other Union programmes while aiming for maximal administrative simplification.
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the Western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.
In addition, and in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2020/2094, external assigned revenue resulting from proceeds of the European Union Recovery Instrument entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of appropriations for this programme under this title for a total amount of EUR 5 412 000 000 in commitments. Such amounts had to be legally committed before the end of 2023 with the exception of administrative expenditure for which the amounts are indicated in the budget remarks of the relevant budget lines under this title.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the scientific and technical support and research activities carried out by the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
High-quality and trusted scientific evidence is essential for good public policies. New initiatives and proposals for Union legislation need transparent, comprehensive and balanced evidence, whereas implementation of policies needs evidence to measure and monitor their impact and progress.
The JRC adds value to Union policies because its science is excellent, multi-disciplinary and independent of national, private and other external interests. Serving all areas of Union policy, it provides the cross-sectoral support that policymakers need to tackle increasingly complex societal challenges. The JRC's independence from special interests combined with its scientific-technical reference role enable it to facilitate consensus building between stakeholders and other actors such as citizens, and policy-makers. With its capacity to respond rapidly to policy needs, the JRC's activities are complementary to indirect actions aimed at supporting longer-term policy objectives.
The JRC performs its own research and is a strategic manager of knowledge, information, data and competences to deliver high quality and relevant evidence for smarter policies. To achieve this, the JRC works together with the best organisations worldwide, and with international, national and regional experts and stakeholders. Its research contributes to the general objectives and priorities of Horizon Europe, provides independent scientific knowledge, advice and technical support for Union policies throughout the policy cycle, and is focused on Union policy priorities, supporting a Europe that is safe and secure, prosperous and sustainable, social and stronger on the global scene.
This appropriation covers specific expenditure relating to research and support activities, including the purchase of scientific and technical equipment, subcontracting of scientific and technical services, access to information and acquisition of consumables. This includes expenditure on scientific infrastructure directly incurred for the projects concerned, as well as expenses of external users accessing JRC physical research infrastructures in order to conduct research, undertake experimental development, or provide education and training.
It also covers expenditure of any type concerning research and scientific support tasks relating to activities under this item entrusted to the JRC within the framework of its participation on a competitive basis in support of Union policies and on behalf of outside bodies.

Innovative Europe (Pillar III)
Remarks
This pillar shall foster all forms of innovation, including non-technological innovation, primarily within SMEs including start-ups, by facilitating technological development, demonstration and knowledge transfer, and strengthen deployment of innovative solutions.
This pillar shall also provide for the activities developed under the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), in particular through its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). Systematic synergies shall be ensured between the European Innovation Council (EIC) and the EIT. Innovative companies stemming from an EIT KIC may be channelled to the EIC to create a pipeline of not yet bankable innovations, while high potential innovative companies funded by the EIC that are not already engaged in one of the EIT KICs may be offered access to this additional support.
Whilst the EIC and the EIT KICs may directly support innovations across the Union, the overall environment from which European innovations are nurtured and emerge must be further developed and enhanced: findings in fundamental research lead to market-creating innovations. It must be a common European endeavour to support innovation all across Europe, and in all dimensions and forms, including through complementary Union national and regional policies (including through effective synergies with the European Regional Development Fund and smart specialisation strategies) and resources whenever possible. Hence, this pillar provides also for renewed and reinforced coordination and cooperation mechanisms with Member States and associated countries, but also with private initiatives, in order to support all actors of European innovation ecosystems, including at regional and local level.
Additionally, as a continued effort to enhance risk-finance capacities for research and innovation in Europe, this pillar will closely link with the InvestEU Programme. Building on the successes and the experiences gained under Horizon 2020 InnovFin, as well as under the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the InvestEU Programme will enhance access to risk finance for bankable entities, as well as for investors.

The European Innovation Council (EIC) is intended to focus mainly on breakthrough and disruptive innovation, targeting especially market-creating innovation, while also supporting all types of innovation, including incremental.
The EIC shall:
—
identify, develop and deploy high risk innovations of all kinds including incremental, with a strong focus on breakthrough, disruptive and deep-tech innovations that have the potential to become market-creating innovations, and
—
support the rapid scale-up of innovative companies mainly SMEs, including start-ups and in exceptional cases small mid-caps at Union and international levels along the pathway from ideas to market.
Where relevant, the EIC shall contribute to the activities supported under other parts of Horizon Europe, in particular in Pillar II.

Widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area
Remarks
The appropriations under this Article will support activities that contribute to attracting talent, fostering brain circulation and preventing brain drain, as well as a more knowledge-based and innovative and gender-equal Europe at the forefront of global competition and fostering transnational cooperation and thereby optimise national strengths and potential across the whole Europe. It will support a well-performing European Research Area, where knowledge and a highly skilled workforce circulate freely in a balanced manner, where the outcomes of R&I are widely disseminated to, as well as understood and trusted by, informed citizens, and where Union policy, notably R&I policy, is based on high quality scientific evidence.
It shall also support activities aimed at:
—
improving the quality of proposals from legal entities from low R&I performing Member States, such as professional pre-proposal checks and advice,
—
boosting the activities of national contact points to support international networking,
—
activities aimed at supporting legal entities from low R&I performing Member States to join already selected collaborative projects.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to reduce disparities and the existing divide in research and innovation performance by sharing knowledge and expertise across the Union by helping widening countries and the Union’s outermost regions to attain a competitive position in the global value chains and the Union to fully benefit from R&I potential of all Member States. Further action, for example through the promotion of openness and diversity of project consortia, is therefore needed to counter the trend for closed collaborations, which can exclude large number of promising institutions and individuals, including newcomers, and to exploit the potential of the Union's talent pool by maximising and sharing the benefits of research and innovation across the Union.

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. Fusion is expected to play an important role in Europe’s future energy landscape as a climate friendly energy source. It is particularly important following the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change and the Union commitment to lead the way in decarbonising the economy and tackling climate change in a cost effective manner. In this regard, it will contribute to the European Green Deal objective of no net greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 and will foster the mobilisation of European high-tech industries, which are involved in the construction of ITER and provide the Union with a global competitive advantage in this promising sector.
The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion for Energy has been established by Decision 2007/198/Euratom. The tasks of the Joint Undertaking are as follows:
—
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.
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the Western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.

Finally, it also covers the costs of a database granting visibility to projects for which project promoters seek financing and which provides investors with information about investment opportunities (InvestEU Portal).
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.

Remarks
Appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover actions focused on reinforcing Europe’s capacities in high performance computing, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity and advanced digital skills, development and deployment of cutting-edge and next generation semiconductor and quantum technologies and ensuring their wide use across the economy and society. Fostered simultaneously, these will help create a thriving data economy, promote inclusiveness and equal opportunities for all and ensure value creation. Most importantly, the programme will concentrate on the areas where no single Member State alone can ensure the level required for digital success. Focus will be placed on those areas where public spending has the highest impact, notably on improving efficiency and quality of services in areas of public interest such as health, environment, climate, mobility and public administrations, and helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adapt to digital change.
The Digital Europe Programme will consider the added value of combining digital with other enabling technologies in order to maximise benefits from digitisation.
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue, entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.

 programme that ended in December 2020.
Interoperability of European public services concerns all levels of administration: Union-wide, national, regional and local. The aim of the interoperability block of the Digital Europe Programme is to eliminate fragmentation of European services, and to implement a holistic cross-sector and cross-border approach to interoperability. It will facilitate and support the design, development, update, use and deployment of interoperable solutions and frameworks by European public administrations, businesses and citizens. It will also offer public administrations access to testing and piloting of digital technologies, including their cross-border use.
The interoperability block will be implemented in close cooperation and coordination in the context of the Digital Europe Programme with DG CNECT, Member States and Commission services concerned via projects and accompanying measures (awareness raising, promotion, community building, etc.).

EASA is the Union’s agency for aviation safety. Its mission is to ensure the highest common level of safety protection for Union citizens, ensure the highest common level of environmental protection, establish a single regulatory and certification process among Member States, facilitate the internal aviation market and create a level playing field, and work with other international aviation organisations and regulators.
The main activities of EASA include the collection and analysis of safety intelligence and performance data to derive strategic action plans, the certification of aviation products and the approval of organisations in all aviation domains (design, production, maintenance, training, air traffic management, etc.), the preparation of regulatory material setting up common standards for aviation in Europe and the monitoring and inspections of the effective implementation of such standards in the Member States and the Union’s neighbouring States that have signed aviation agreements with the Union.
The tasks performed by EASA cover the whole spectrum of the Union’s aviation safety rules and have an important international component as EASA is legally mandated to cooperate with international actors in order to achieve the highest safety level for EU citizens globally (e.g. EU safety list, authorisation of third country operators, and implementation of technical assistance programming towards third countries). Established in 2002, EASA is composed of more than 800 aviation experts and administrators and it has 31 Member States (27 EU Member States + Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein). It has four international offices in Montreal, Washington, Beijing and Singapore. Typically, its budget consists mainly of fees and charges (64%), a subsidy from the Union (23%), earmarked funds (11%) and third country contributions (2%).

ERA contributes to the further development and effective functioning of a single European railway area without frontiers, by guaranteeing a high level of railway safety and interoperability, while improving the competitive position of the railway sector. In particular, the ERA contributes, on technical matters, to the implementation of Union legislation by developing a common approach to safety on the Union rail system and by enhancing the level of interoperability on the Union rail system. Further objectives of the ERA are to follow the reduction of national railway rules in order to support the performance of national authorities acting in the fields of railway safety and interoperability, to promote the optimisation of procedures, to monitor national safety authorities and conformity assessment bodies and to manage and keep up-to-date a number of registers, which is vital for the smooth operation of the European railway area.
The entry into force of the technical pillar of the Fourth Railway Package designated ERA as the Union authority responsible for issuing authorisations for placing railway vehicles on the market, single safety certificates for railway undertakings and track-side approvals of the European Rail Traffic Management System.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover support from the Union renewable energy financing mechanism with the aim of closing the gap, in part or entirely, in relation to the national reference points, insofar as the renewable energy generated by installations financed by the financing mechanism would be statistically attributed to the participating Member States, reflecting their relative payments. That mechanism should facilitate the Member States with the opportunity to increase the sectoral share of renewable energy in the electricity, heating, cooling and transport sector to territories facing serious socio-economic challenges deriving from the transition process towards a climate-neutral economy in the Union by 2050.

Remarks
Appropriations under this chapter are intended to contribute to the well-functioning of the single market for goods and services, including financial services, anti-money laundering and the free movement of capital, and to provide high quality European statistics on all Union policies, as per the purpose of the Programme for single market, competitiveness of enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises, and European statistics (‘Single Market Programme’). In particular, the programme will support the design, implementation and enforcement of the Union legislation underpinning the proper functioning of the single market for goods and services, including financial services, anti-money laundering and the free movement of capital, as well as capacity building, coordination of joint actions between Member States and the Commission, and the international dimension of the internal market. It will also support women’s participation and contribute to the empowerment of all actors of the single market: businesses, citizens including consumers, civil society and public authorities. The Single Market Programme brings together six preceding programmes from different policy areas, notably the grants and contracts part of the Programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME), programmes on consumer protection, enhancing the participation of consumers and other end users in financial services policymaking, the development of international financial, auditing and corporate reporting standards, measures to contribute to a high level of health for humans, animals and plants along the food chain and in related areas and European statistics. In addition, the programme includes several other budgetary lines concerning, in particular market surveillance, company law, contract and extra-contractual law, standardisation and support for competition policy, customs and taxation. The impact assessment showed that one single programme will create synergies contributing to more agile and efficient budgetary spending.
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes, and any other assigned revenue, entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure arising from the management and development of the internal market governance tools (Your Europe, Single Digital Gateway, Your Europe Advice, SOLVIT, the Internal Market Information (IMI) system and the Single Market Scoreboard). These tools are providing a seamless range of services for citizens, business and public authorities, that aim to ensure a better functioning of the internal market in practice. The Your Europe online portal provides citizens and businesses with information on their Union rights in 23 languages of the Union. Since December 2020, Your Europe serves as the entry point for Single Digital Gateway, adding information on national and regional rights and procedures in English and the relevant national languages. Single Digital Gateway is also working towards digitalising the most important administrative procedures for citizens and business, including their accessibility cross-border, and establishing a system for the automated cross-border exchange of evidence needed for those procedures. Your Europe Advice offers citizens and businesses free of charge tailored advice on their rights in the internal market. SOLVIT is an informal problem-solving network, efficiently dealing with cross-border problems faced by citizens or businesses that result from an incorrect application or transposition of Union legislation by a Member State. SOLVIT also identifies wider issues and reports on such issues as detected in the SOLVIT-IMI database. IMI is a multilingual online application for administrative cooperation between Member States within the internal market, making it easy for authorities to exchange information and work together, on the basis of simple and unified procedures in their own language. The Single Market Scoreboard, showing Member States’ performance in the most relevant policy areas and for internal market governance tools, is being developed to provide an even more complete vision of the internal market.

Remarks
Within the internal market, the free movement of goods is the most developed of all four fundamental freedoms. However, the increasing number of illegal and non-compliant products on the market distorts competition and puts consumers at risk. Many businesses disregard the rules either through lack of knowledge or intentionally to gain a competitive advantage.
Market surveillance ensures that non-food products on the Union market do not endanger European consumers and workers. It also ensures the protection of other public interests such as the environment, security and fairness in trade.
Under the Single Market Programme, support to market surveillance measures in the Union seeks to strengthen product compliance by providing the right incentives to entrepreneurs, intensifying compliance checks and controls of products at the external borders, and promoting closer cross-border cooperation between market surveillance enforcement authorities.
The Single Market Programme also contributes to the consolidation of the existing framework for market surveillance activities, to encourage joint actions of authorities from different Member States, to improve the exchange of information and to promote convergence and closer integration of activities.

various forms of support for SMEs, including for social economy enterprises, to empower their investments in green and social sustainability that benefits the local and regional economic ecosystem,
—
information sharing, dissemination, awareness raising and advisory services to increase SME’s competitiveness and help them participate in the single market and beyond.
Projects will seek to improve conditions for SMEs and contribute to a favourable business environment including through capacity building, support to SME internationalisation, industrial transformation, skills development, and value chain collaboration, and help them increase their competitiveness and sustainability. They will rely on the services provided by clusters, entrepreneurship and business support networks.
In addition, projects will be put in place to support the implementation of the SME Strategy for a sustainable and digital Europe and the New Industrial Strategy for Europe; as well as current Commission priorities, including the European Green Deal and Better Regulation.
Support actions, directly linked to the achievement of the programme specific objectives are also considered for funding: meetings (including workshops), studies, information and publications and participation in study groups.
Key activities that have proven expertise and success in reaching and supporting SMEs will continue to be central.
The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) will be further strengthened and supported, and will use its expertise to enable SMEs to improve their competitiveness and develop their business in the single market and beyond. EEN services will be further adapted and widened, to suit SME needs in respect of new policy priorities such as digitalisation, internationalisation, circular economy and skills. EEN will help SMEs and scale-ups understand sustainability issues, and put in place strategies and business plans to adapt and compete successfully.
Joint Cluster Initiatives will be used as a strategic tool for supporting the competitiveness, scaling up of SMEs, supported by the European Cluster Collaboration Platform and its European Resource Efficiency Knowledge Centre (EREK). By connecting specialised ecosystems, clusters create new business opportunities for SMEs and integrate them better in European and global strategic value chains. Support will be provided for the development of transnational partnership strategies and the implementation of joint activities, including for channelling direct support to SMEs for encouraging the uptake of advanced technologies, low-carbon solutions, and skills upgrading.
The ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ mobility scheme enables new or aspiring entrepreneurs to gain business experience by matching with an experienced entrepreneur from another country and thus allow strengthening entrepreneurial talents. It helps tackle unemployment and enables existing SMEs to create jobs and increase their turnover by expanding and internationalising their business.
Sustainable tourism will receive a special focus through sectorial support actions. The Union will support, inter alia,
—
actions to build capacity of tourism businesses, in particular SMEs, in areas such as sustainability, digitalisation and innovation,
—
actions to promote cross-border cooperation and peer learning among tourism stakeholders and public authorities responsible for tourism,
—
foresight and socio-economic analysis regarding, inter alia, the long-term competitiveness of the tourism sector and promotion of Union tourism businesses.
The Programme is intended to ensure the effective promotion of equal opportunities for all, and the implementation of gender mainstreaming in its actions.

European standardisation activities are governed by Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on European standardisation and implemented through a long standing public-private partnership which is fundamental to achieve the objectives set in that Regulation as well as in general and sectorial Union standardisation policies.
This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of European standardisation and stakeholder participation in setting up European standards. In particular, the appropriation will support financially the actions and the entities specified in Articles 15 and 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012.
European standards play an important role in the internal market. They are of vital interest for the competitiveness of undertakings, and especially SMEs. They are also a crucial tool to support Union legislation and policies in a number of key areas such as energy, climate change, information and communication technology, sustainable use of resources, innovation, product safety, consumer protection, worker’s safety and working conditions and ageing population, thus positively contributing to the society as a whole.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure in pursuit of the specific objective of supporting the development of high-quality financial and non-financial reporting and auditing standards globally and across the Union, facilitating their integration into Union legislation and promoting the innovation and development of best practices in corporate reporting. Union funding for these activities is vital to support the development of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which take account of Union interests and which are consistent with the legal framework of the internal market, to promote best practices in wider corporate reporting and to support public oversight for the transparent development of International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Union funding is also vital to support the development and implementation of European sustainability reporting standards that build on and contribute to the development of such standards at the global level.
The appropriations may be used for actions supporting the development, application, assessment and monitoring of corporate reporting and auditing standards, thereby contributing to the transparency of Union capital markets and enhancing investor protection, financial stability and sustainable finance.

Remarks
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 of the island, on improving contacts between the two communities and with the Union and on preparation for the application of the Union 
acquis
. Assistance is delivered in the areas specified in that Regulation, and includes notably the promotion of social and economic development, the development and restructuring of infrastructure, reconciliation, confidence building measures and support to civil society, bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the Union, including scholarships for Turkish Cypriot students. Also, the TAIEX instrument is used for the preparation of legal texts for the purpose of these being applicable upon the entry into force of a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem, as well as for the preparation of the Union 
acquis
 immediately following a political settlement for reunification.
The appropriations will, in particular, 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 bi-communal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage in order to preserve common cultural heritage of Cyprus.
This appropriation is to be implemented in direct and indirect management and be used, inter alia, to sustain the outcome of works, services, supplies and grants being funded under earlier allocations. In addition, grant schemes addressed to a large variety of economic and civil society beneficiaries (non-governmental organisations, students and teachers, schools, farmers, small villages, and the private sector) may continue. These activities aim at socio-economic development and are driven by the prospect of reunification. Priority should be given, where possible, to reconciliation projects that create bridges between the two communities and build confidence. These measures underline the strong desire and commitment of the Union to the Cyprus problem settlement and reunification.

Remarks
Appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover expenditure relevant to Regulation (EU) 2021/240 establishing a Technical Support Instrument and Regulation (EU) 2021/241 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility is intended to promote the Union’s economic, social and territorial cohesion by improving the resilience, crisis preparedness, adjustment capacity and growth potential of the Member States, by mitigating the social and economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis, and supporting the green and digital transitions, thereby contributing to restoring the growth potential of the economies of the Union, fostering employment creation in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, and promoting sustainable growth. It is to provide Member States with financial support with a view to achieving the milestones and targets of reforms and investments as set out in their recovery and resilience plans.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2020/2094, external assigned revenue resulting from proceeds of the European Union Recovery Instrument entered in the statement of revenue gives rise to the provision of appropriations for this programme under this title for a total amount of EUR 337 969 000 000 in commitments. Moreover, a total amount of EUR 20 000 000 000 is made available under that Regulation as additional non-repayable financial support to finance key investments and reforms that will help increasing the resilience of the Union’s energy system through a decrease of dependence on fossil fuels and diversification of energy supplies at Union level (REPowerEU). That amount also constitutes external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Financial Regulation. Such amounts had to be legally committed before the end of 2023 with the exception of administrative expenditure for which the amounts are indicated in the budget remarks of the relevant budget lines under this title.
The Technical Support Instrument is intended to promote the Union’s economic, social and territorial cohesion by supporting Member States’ efforts to implement reforms. This is necessary to encourage investment, to increase competitiveness and to achieve sustainable economic and social convergence, resilience and recovery. The Instrument’s objective is to support Member States’ efforts to design, develop and implement reforms and prepare, develop, amend and implement recovery and resilience plans pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. This includes strengthening their institutional and administrative capacity, in order to properly quantify costing, milestones and targets, including at regional and local levels, to facilitate socially inclusive, green and digital transitions, to effectively address the challenges identified in the country-specific recommendations and to implement Union law.

Remarks
The Union Civil Protection Mechanism intervenes in all phases of the disaster management cycle: prevention, preparedness and response, and its geographical scope is both within and outside the Union.
As regards prevention, the mechanism aims in particular at fostering a shared culture of prevention with activities supporting and promoting Member States’ risk assessment and risk reduction efforts, such as the sharing of good practice, the compilation and dissemination of information from Member States on risk management activities including through cross-border projects, peer reviews, and advisory missions. The mechanism also provides funding to scale-up Member States’ disaster risk management strategies and to support the development of projects leveraging disaster risk management investments.
Preparedness efforts are supported, in particular, through the pooling of civil protection capacities in the form of the European Civil Protection Pool (ECPP), as well as the development of additional capacities at Union level to complement national efforts (the rescEU reserve and the rescEU transition phase). Preparedness is also improved through the development of Union-wide disaster resilience goals, training, exercises, the exchange of best practices and experts, all under the umbrella of the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network. The mechanism also supports the study and development of disaster detection and early warning systems, and promotes scientific analysis and expert support.
Concerning the international dimension, the mechanism facilitates cooperation with the enlargement countries and countries under the European Neighbourhood Policy in the area of disaster management, through the funding of projects, training and policy dialogues.
In relation to response, the mechanism contributes through the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) to the rapid and efficient deployment of national capacities, of ECPP modules and/or of its own capacities, as well as of trained experts and EU civil protection teams for operations in Member States or participating states, and in any third country. The mechanism support is financial, operational and facilitates coordination.
This article also covers a wide array of horizontal activities supporting the proper functioning of the mechanism. These include, among others, communication activities, project and IT support to operations, and other activities supporting policy development, such as workshops, seminars, projects, studies, surveys, modelling, scenario-building and contingency planning, as well as audits and evaluations.

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational expenditure under the EU4Health Programme. Its objective is to protect people in the Union from serious cross-border threats to health; to improve the availability, accessibility and affordability, in the Union, of medicines, medical devices and crisis-relevant products, and to support innovation regarding such products; to strengthen health systems and the healthcare workforce, including by digital transformation and by increased integrated and coordinated work among the Member States, sustained implementation of best practice and data sharing; and to increase the general level of public health.
The EU4Health Programme is to cater for a solid legal and financial framework for health crisis prevention, preparedness and response in the Union. This programme is to reinforce national and Union capacity for contingency planning and enable Member States to jointly cope with common health threats, in particular cross-border threats, where Union intervention can add tangible value. The programme complements health policies of the Member States and supports a ‘One Health’ approach, where applicable, in improving health outcomes through resilient, resource-efficient and inclusive health systems across the Member States, through better disease prevention and surveillance, health promotion, access, diagnosis and treatment, including the fight against cancer as well as cross-border collaboration in health. This programme is to also address non-communicable diseases, which have been shown to be a strong determinant of mortality from COVID-19.

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of emergency support operations to respond to the urgent and exceptional needs in Member States as a result of a natural or man-made disaster, in the event of activation by the Council under Regulation (EU) 2016/369.
Emergency support shall provide a needs-based emergency response, complementing the response of the affected Member States, aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering and maintaining human dignity. Emergency response may encompass assistance, relief and, where necessary, protection operations to save and preserve life in disasters or their immediate aftermath.
Following the activation through Council Regulation (EU) 2020/521 of the emergency support to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak in April 2020, this appropriation is intended to ensure a proper Union response in addressing the related health crisis.
The emergency support is intended to equip the Union with a broad toolbox commensurate with the large scale of the COVID-19 pandemic. The needs-based emergency support allows the Union to deploy targeted measures strategically, addressing the needs related to the COVID-19 crisis where the scale, speed or cross-border nature of the solutions needed are best addressed through coordinated Union intervention. Such emergency support complements Member States’ efforts and assistance provided through other Union instruments.
Coordinated action at Union level enables the current crisis to be addressed through, inter alia:
—
funding of Advance Purchase Agreements with COVID-19 vaccine developers/manufacturers,
—
procurement and distribution to Member States of essential health-related products, including protective gear for hospital staff, testing supplies, therapeutics, diagnostics and training,
—
transportation of essential medical cargo (including life-saving personal protective, testing and medical equipment, ventilators, masks, medicines, etc.),
—
cross-border cooperation to alleviate the pressure on health systems in the most affected Union regions, including through the transportation of patients in need to cross-border hospitals which can offer free capacity, as well as providing support for the transport of medical teams and personnel including operating costs,
—
funding clinical trials for generating clinical evidence to repurpose existing treatments to treat COVID-19 patients, as well the collection of COVID-19 convalescent plasma to increase its availability as a direct treatment for COVID-19 patients,
—
increasing testing facilities and capacity in Member States and training additional staff to perform sampling and analysis,
—
reinforcement of medical capacities and deployment of temporary healthcare facilities and temporary extension of existing healthcare facilities to relieve pressure on existing structures and increase overall healthcare capacity,
—
procurement and donation of ultraviolet (UV) disinfecting robots to hospitals throughout the Union,
—
contributing to strengthening cross-border contact tracing through an EU digital platform connecting national contact tracing and warning apps, as well as an EU exchange platform connecting national Passenger Locator Form systems,
—
support issuing and verifying of interoperable certificates of vaccination, test results and recovery from COVID-19 to facilitate free movement,
—
contributing to strengthening contact tracing through the establishment of an EU wastewater monitoring system.
This appropriation may cover any of the humanitarian aid actions eligible for Union financing, and may consequently encompass assistance, relief and, where necessary, protection operations to save and preserve life in disasters or in their immediate aftermath.
This appropriation may also be used to finance other expenditure directly related to the implementation of emergency support in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2020/521.

Remarks
Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 851/2004 provides that the mission of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control is the following:
—
In order to enhance the capacity of the Union and the Member States to protect human health through the prevention and control of communicable diseases in humans and related special health issues, the mission of the Centre is to identify and assess current and emerging threats to human health from communicable diseases and related special health issues, to report thereon and, where appropriate, to ensure that information thereon is presented in an easily accessible way. The Centre acts in collaboration with competent bodies of the Member States or on its own initiative, through a dedicated network. The mission of the Centre is also to provide science-based recommendations and support in coordinating the response at Union and national levels, as well as at cross-border interregional and regional level, to such threats, where appropriate. In providing such recommendations, the Centre, where necessary, cooperates with Member States and takes into account existing national crisis management plans and the respective circumstances of each Member State.
—
In the event of other outbreaks of diseases of unknown origin that may spread within or to the Union, the Centre acts on its own initiative until the source of the outbreak is known. In the case of an outbreak that is clearly not of a communicable disease, the Centre acts only in cooperation with the coordinating competent bodies and upon their request, and provides a risk assessment.
—
In pursuing its mission, the Centre respects the responsibilities of the Member States, the Commission and other Union bodies or agencies, and the responsibilities of third countries and international organisations active within the field of public health, in particular the WHO, in order to ensure that there is comprehensiveness, coherence and complementarity of action and that actions are coordinated.
—
The Centre supports the work of the Health Security Committee (HSC), established by Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 on serious cross-border threats to health and repealing Decision No 1082/2013/EU (
OJ L 314, 6.12.2022, p. 26
), the Council, the Member States and, where relevant, other Union structures, in order to promote effective coherence between their respective activities and to coordinate responses to serious cross-border threats to health, within its mandate.

Remarks
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is the cornerstone of the Union system of risk assessment for food and feed safety. Its scientific advice on existing and emerging risks underpins the policies and decisions of risk managers in the Union institutions and Member States with the objective of protecting consumer health. The Authority’s most critical commitment is to provide objective, transparent and independent advice and clear communication grounded in the most up-to-date scientific methodologies, information and data available. The Authority is committed to the core standards of scientific excellence, openness, transparency, independence and responsiveness.
The establishment plan of the Authority, as the outgoing Chair of the Network of Agencies, includes one post to create a position for the Head of the Shared Support Office in Brussels. This is with the aim of promoting efficiency gains and synergies across agencies and with the institutions, so that individual agencies can focus their resources on core tasks. The financing of the post for the Head of the Shared Support Office will be shared between the agencies, which means that no additional funding for the Authority is required in this respect.

Remarks
In order to promote the protection of human and animal health and of consumers of medicinal products throughout the Union, and in order to promote the completion of the internal market through the adoption of uniform regulatory decisions based on scientific criteria concerning the placing on the market and the use of medicinal products, the objective of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is to provide the Member States and the institutions of the Union with the best possible scientific advice on any question relating to the evaluation of the quality, the safety, and the efficacy of medicinal products for human and veterinary use, in accordance with the provisions of the Union legislation relating to medicinal products.
Regulation (EU) 2022/123 strengthened the role of the EMA in crisis preparedness and the management of medicinal products and medical devices, allowing the EMA to closely monitor and mitigate shortages of medicines and facilitate the faster approval of medicines that could treat or prevent a disease causing a public health crisis. After an initial transition period, the EMA will also coordinate responses of the Member States on shortages of critical medical devices in the event of a crisis.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of carrying out the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys in the Member States and candidate countries. The programme was initiated by a Commission Decision in November 1961 and was modified through subsequent Council and Commission decisions. It was last approved by Commission Decision C(97) 2241 of 15 July 1997 and last presented in the Commission Communication C(2016) 6634 of 20 October 2016.
This appropriation is also intended to cover the cost of studies, workshops, conferences, analyses, evaluations, publications, technical assistance, the purchase and maintenance of databases; software; equipment and the part-financing and support of measures relating to:
—
fiscal policy surveillance including the monitoring of fiscal positions,
—
the assessment of transposition and application by the Member States of the Union fiscal governance framework supporting the functioning of the economic and monetary union (EMU),

economic monitoring and analysis of economic policies,
—
the external aspects of the EMU,

—
cooperation with economic operators and decision-makers in the fields mentioned in the preceding indents,
—
deepening and expanding the EMU,
—

This appropriation is also intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Union policies on all aspects of the rules and functioning of the EMU, as well as on the benefits of closer policy coordination and structural reforms, and to address information needs of key stakeholders and citizens, in relation to the EMU.
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:
—
the development of communication activities at central level (brochures, leaflets, newsletters, website design, development and maintenance, social media, exhibitions, stands, conferences, seminars, audio-visual products, opinion polls, surveys, studies, promotional material, coin design competitions, twinning programmes, training etc.), and similar activities at national and regional levels 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 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) and it reports regularly to the relevant committee of the European Parliament on the implementation of the strategy and on planning for the coming year.

In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.
In addition, and in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2020/2094, external assigned revenue resulting from proceeds of the European Union Recovery Instrument entered in the statement of revenue gives rise to the provision of appropriations for programmes financed under REACT-EU under Titles 05 and 07 for a total amount of EUR 50 620 000 000 in commitments. Such amounts had to be legally committed before the end of 2023, with the exception of administrative expenditure, for which the amounts are indicated in the budget remarks of the relevant budget lines under this title.

Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure aiming 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 social restructuring, clean energy transition, digitalisation of the workplace, growing skills and labour shortages and the implications and impact of demographic change, including population ageing, in order to create a more social Europe. This is to be done in line with the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
It will cover the following three categories of regions:
—
less developed regions, with a GDP per capita less than 75 % of the average GDP of the Union,
—
transition regions, with a GDP per capita between 75 % and 100 % of the average GDP of the Union,
—
more developed regions, with a GDP per capita above 100 % of the average GDP of the Union.
Promotion of equality between women and men horizontally and through specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF+ in order to increase the participation of women in employment as well as conciliation between working and personal life and combat the feminisation of poverty and gender discrimination in the labour market and in education and training.

This appropriation is intended to finance the implementation of the EaSI strand of the ESF+ programme. The general objective of the EaSI strand is to promote employment, equal access to the labour market, education and training, and social inclusion by providing financial support for the Union’s objectives.
To achieve the general objectives of promoting a high level of employment, guaranteeing adequate social protection, combating social exclusion and poverty, improving working conditions and protecting workers’ safety and health, the EaSI strand is in particular to:
—
develop and disseminate high-quality comparative analytical knowledge in order to ensure that related policies are based on sound evidence and are relevant to needs, challenges and local conditions,
—
facilitate effective and inclusive information sharing, mutual learning, peer reviews and dialogue on related policies at national, Union and international levels in order to assist the design of appropriate policy measures,
—
support social experimentation in the related areas and build up the stakeholders’ capacity at national and local levels to prepare, design and implement, transfer or upscale tested social policy innovations, in particular with regard to the scaling up of projects developed by local stakeholders in the field of the socio-economic integration of third-country nationals,
—
facilitate the voluntary geographic mobility of workers and increase employment opportunities through developing and providing specific support services to employers and jobseekers with a view to the development of integrated European labour markets, ranging from pre-recruitment preparation to post-placement assistance in order to fill vacancies in certain sectors, professions, countries or border regions, or for particular groups, such as people in vulnerable situations,
—
support the development of the market ecosystem around the provision of microfinance to microenterprises in start-up and development phases, in particular those that are created by or employ people in vulnerable situations,
—
support networking at Union level and dialogue with and among relevant stakeholders in the related policy areas and contribute to build up the institutional capacity of involved stakeholders, including the public employment services, public social security and health insurance institutions, civil society, microfinance institutions and institutions providing finance to social enterprises and social economy,
—
support the development of social enterprises and the emergence of a social investment market, facilitating public and private interactions and the participation of foundations and philanthropic actors in that market,
—
provide guidance for the development of social infrastructure needed for the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights,
—
support transnational cooperation in order to accelerate the transfer, and facilitate the scaling up, of innovative solutions, in particular for the related policy areas,
—
support the implementation of relevant international social and labour standards in the context of harnessing globalisation and the external dimension of Union policies in the related policy areas.
Support will be provided to eligible actions related to the implementation of the EaSI strand, such as analytical activities, policy implementation, capacity building, and communication and dissemination. Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 sets out the actions that may be financed.

Appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover European Solidarity Corps activities.
The general objective of the European Solidarity Corps is to enhance the engagement of young people and organisations in accessible and high-quality solidarity activities, primarily volunteering, as a means of strengthening cohesion, solidarity, European identity and active citizenship in the Union and beyond, addressing societal and humanitarian challenges on the ground, with particular focus on the promotion of sustainable development, social inclusion and equal opportunities.
The specific objective of the European Solidarity Corps is to provide young people, including those with fewer opportunities, with easily accessible opportunities for engagement in solidarity activities that induce positive societal changes in the Union and beyond, while improving and properly validating their competences as well as facilitating their continuous engagement as active citizens. The European Solidarity Corps will build on the achievements and contribute to the long-lasting legacy of the 2022 European Year of Youth.
The objectives of the European Solidarity Corps are to be implemented under the following strands of actions: (a) participation of young people in solidarity activities addressing societal challenges and (b) participation of young people in humanitarian aid-related solidarity activities (the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps).
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this Chapter.

Remarks
The European Foundation for the improvement of living and working conditions (Eurofound) delivers and disseminates important knowledge on work-related and social matters to contribute to sound and evidence-based policies in those fields. Its core activity relates to research in the areas of employment, working conditions, industrial relations and quality of life. The activities of Eurofound contribute to the following priorities: increasing labour market participation and combating unemployment by creating jobs, improving labour market functioning and promoting integration and gender equality, improving working conditions and making work sustainable throughout the life course, developing industrial relations to ensure equitable and productive solutions in a changing policy context, and improving standards of living and promoting social cohesion in the face of economic disparities and social inequalities such as the gender employment gap and the gender pay gap.
Part of this appropriation is intended for studies on working conditions and industrial relations in support of policies ensuring more and better jobs, making work more sustainable and strengthening social dialogue in Europe.
Another part of this appropriation is intended for studies and forward-looking research on labour markets, specifically the monitoring and anticipation of structural change, its impact on employment and the management of the consequences.
This appropriation will also cover research and gathering of knowledge on living conditions and quality of life with a particular focus on social policies and the role of public services in improving quality of life. Research into reconciliation of professional and private life and precarious employment, including breaking down by gender, is also covered by this appropriation.
Finally, this appropriation will be used for the analysis of the impact of digitalisation on all of the above-described areas and for studies contributing to policies aimed at upward convergence in the Union.

This leads, ultimately, to better informed Union policy making for citizens.
Corporate communication products and services are provided to the external communication service of the Commission and reflect its domain leader role, ensuring coherence in the Commission’s messaging by aligning all Commission communication services to contribute to coherent and effective corporate communication on the political priorities of the Commission.

inter alia
, the analysis of trends in public opinion, mainly by means of opinion polls (e.g. general-public ‘Eurobarometer’ surveys, and ‘flash’ surveys, by telephone, of specific populations on particular subjects, at regional, national or European level, or qualitative surveys), together with quality control of such surveys.
This appropriation also covers measures to improve the Commission’s data analytics capacity, with a view to fighting against disinformation and against the spreading of fake news.
This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of operating the Commission’s television and radio studios and other audiovisual and multimedia information and communication facilities in the Commission premises in all Member States: staff and the purchase, hire, maintenance and repair of the necessary equipment and material (news coverage, audio-visual production, audio-visual media library, virtual reality etc.).
This appropriation also covers satellite rental to provide information on the Union’s activities to television channels. It is to be managed in compliance with the principles of interinstitutional cooperation in order to ensure the dissemination of all information concerning the Union.
This appropriation covers equally qualitative media monitoring and analysis (including monitoring or analysis of social media activities), including the related subscriptions and licences.
This appropriation is also intended to cover general information for citizens on Union activities to increase the visibility of the work of the Union institutions, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of the Union, focusing mainly on the media. The tools developed for better understanding and reporting of topical issues in particular related support to communication for the political priorities of the Commission cover mainly:
—
multimedia (photo, video, etc.) information material for the media and other platforms, including their publication or broadcasting and central deposit for long-term preservation or dissemination,

Appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover support from the public sector loan facility, the third pillar of the Just Transition Mechanism (JTM). It will support public investments, through preferential lending conditions. These investments will benefit the territories most negatively affected by the climate transition as identified in the territorial just transition plans for the purposes of the Just Transition Fund (JTF).
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes, and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.
In addition, and in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1229, it is envisaged to finance the total amount of the grant component mainly with assigned revenue and partly with appropriations programmed under the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. The assigned revenue foreseen would stem from the estimated surpluses of the provisioning of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) after its constitution phase, ending in 2022. Lastly, the public sector loan facility will be financed by assigned revenue from the repayments from financial instruments established by the programmes indicated in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/1229.

The CBAM will complement the system established for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union by Directive 2003/87/EC by applying an equivalent set of rules to imports into the customs territory of the Union of goods covered by Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

This appropriation is intended to cover actions contributing to an efficient management of migration flows in line with the relevant Union 
acquis
 and in compliance with the Union’s commitments on fundamental rights.
In particular, the AMIF is intended to contribute to strengthening and developing all aspects of the Common European Asylum System, including its external dimension; to supporting legal migration to the Member States including to the integration of third-country nationals; and finally, to countering irregular migration and ensuring effectiveness of return to and readmission in third countries.
The AMIF will promote common measures in the area of asylum, including Member States’ efforts in receiving persons in need of international protection through resettlement and the transfer of applicants for or beneficiaries of international protection between Member States, supporting integration strategies and a more effective legal migration policy, so as to ensure the Union’s long-term competitiveness and the future of its social model and reduce incentives for irregular migration through a sustainable return and readmission policy. The AMIF will support the strengthening of cooperation with third countries to reinforce the management of flows of persons applying for asylum or other forms of international protection and avenues of legal migration and to counter irregular migration and ensure sustainability of return to and effective readmission in third countries.

This appropriation is intended to ensure strong and effective European integrated border management at the external borders while safeguarding the free movement of persons within them, in full compliance with the Union’s commitments on fundamental rights, thereby contributing to guaranteeing a high level of security in the Union.
More specifically, the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (the ‘Instrument’) should contribute to supporting effective European integrated border management at the external borders implemented by the European Border and Coast Guard as a shared responsibility of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency and of the national authorities responsible for border management, to facilitating legitimate border crossings, to preventing and detecting illegal immigration and cross-border crime and to effectively managing migratory flows, as well as to supporting the common visa policy in order to facilitate legitimate travel and prevent migratory and security risks.
The Instrument will promote the implementation of European integrated border management defined by its components in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1896: border control, search and rescue during border surveillance, risk analysis and cooperation between Member States (supported and coordinated by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency). The Instrument will also promote inter-agency cooperation, cooperation with third countries, technical and operational measures within the Schengen area related to border control and designed to address illegal immigration and to counter cross-border crime better, and use of state of-the-art technology, quality control and solidarity mechanisms. Furthermore, the Instrument will contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of visa processing in terms of detecting and assessing security and irregular migration risks, as well as facilitating visa procedures for 
bona fide
 travellers. The Instrument will support digitalisation of visa processing with the objective of providing fast, secure and client-friendly visa procedures for the benefit of both visa applicants and consulates.

The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) is an agency of the Union dedicated to develop, implement and coordinate training for law enforcement officials. CEPOL contributes to a safer Europe by facilitating cooperation and knowledge sharing among law enforcement officials of the Member States, and to some extent from third countries, on issues stemming from Union priorities in the field of security; in particular, from the EU Policy Cycle on serious and organised crime. CEPOL brings together a network of training institutes for law enforcement officials in Member States and supports them in providing frontline training on security priorities, law enforcement cooperation and information exchange. CEPOL also works with Union bodies, international organisations and third countries to ensure that the most serious security threats are tackled with a collective response.

Remarks
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) / European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) provides the Union and Member States with a factual overview of European drug problems and a solid evidence base to support the drugs debate. It offers policymakers the data they need for drawing up informed drug laws and strategies. It also helps professionals and practitioners working in the field pinpoint best practice and new areas of research. While the EMCDDA/EUDA is primarily European in focus, it also works with partners in other world regions, exchanging information and expertise. Collaboration with European and international organisations in the drugs field is also central to its work as a means of enhancing understanding of the global drugs phenomenon.

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding envisaged under the EDF for collaborative development projects of defence products and technologies consistent with defence capability priorities commonly agreed by Member States within the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy, thus contributing to greater efficiency of defence spending within the Union, achieving greater economies of scale, reducing the risk of unnecessary duplication and thereby reducing the fragmentation of defence products and technologies throughout the Union.
The EDF provides support for actions covering both new and upgrades of existing products and technologies where the use of pre-existing information needed to perform the upgrade is not subject, directly or indirectly to a restriction by non-associated third countries or non-associated third-country entities. Eligible actions shall relate to one or more of the following activities:
—
activities aiming to create, underpin and improve knowledge, products and technologies, including disruptive technologies, which can achieve significant effects in the area of defence,
—
activities aiming to increase interoperability and resilience, including secured production and exchange of data, to master critical defence technologies, to strengthen the security of supply or to enable the effective exploitation of results for defence products and technologies,
—
studies, such as feasibility studies to explore the feasibility of new or improved technologies, products, processes, services and solutions,
—
the design of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology as well as the definition of the technical specifications based on which such design has been developed which may include partial tests for risk reduction in an industrial or representative environment,
—
the development of a model of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology, which can demonstrate the element’s performance in an operational environment (system prototype),
—
the testing of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology,
—
the qualification of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology,
—
the certification of a defence product, tangible or intangible component or technology,
—
the development of technologies or assets increasing efficiency across the life cycle of defence products and technologies.

Remarks
The instrument for the reinforcement of European defence industry through common procurement (EDIRPA) has the following objectives:
—
to foster the competitiveness and efficiency of the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB), including SMEs and mid-caps, for a more resilient and secure Union, in particular by speeding up, in a collaborative manner, the adjustment of industry to structural changes, including the creation and ramp-up of its manufacturing capacities, and the opening of the supply chains for cross-border cooperation throughout the Union, thereby allowing the EDTIB to provide the defence products needed by Member States;
—
to foster cooperation in the defence procurement processes between participating Member States in order to contribute to solidarity, prevent crowding-out effects, increase the effectiveness of public spending and reduce excessive fragmentation, ultimately leading to an increase in the standardisation of defence systems and greater interoperability between Member States’ capabilities, while preserving the competitiveness and diversity of products available to Member States and in the supply chain.
The objectives shall be pursued with an emphasis on strengthening and developing the EDTIB throughout the Union to allow it to address, in particular, the most urgent and critical defence product needs, especially those revealed or exacerbated by the response to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, such as the shipment of defence products to Ukraine, taking into account the objectives of the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence and considering the work of the Defence Joint Procurement Task Force.
In accordance with Articles 21, 22 and 24 of the Financial Regulation, contributions received from third countries (EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidates, or other third countries) for participating in Union programmes and any other assigned revenue entered in the statement of revenue give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under this chapter.
The related estimated amounts as well as the corresponding article or item of the statement of revenue are indicated, wherever possible, in the relevant budget lines.

In accordance with Article 58(2), point (c), of the Financial Regulation, this appropriation is intended to finance expenditure related to preparatory measures in the field of Title V TEU to establish the conditions for Union actions in the field of the CFSP and the adoption of the necessary legal instruments. It may cover evaluation and analysis measures (

 evaluation of means, specific studies, organisation of meetings, fact-finding on the ground). In the field of Union crisis management operations and for 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.

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-of-payments 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- or long-term loans or grants, or a combination of these, this item only covers the grant element of MFA operations.
Appropriations under this item 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 related to the implementation of the ‘Better Regulation’ guidelines, in particular for 
ex post
 evaluations of MFA operations, and (iii) costs to cover comitology requirements.
The Commission will inform the European Parliament and the Council regularly of the macro-financial situation of the beneficiary countries and will report extensively on the implementation of MFA on a yearly basis.

This item constitutes the structure for the External Action Guarantee provided by the Union. It will enable the Commission, if necessary, to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default on a loan granted under this guarantee or the preceding budgetary guarantees.
In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this case, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 of 26 May 2014 on the methods and procedure for making available the traditional, VAT and GNI-based own resources and on the measures to meet cash requirements (

Remarks
This article is intended to enter appropriations resulting from the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/691.
The objective of the EGF is to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by offering assistance to workers dismissed because of major restructuring events. Those events can result in particular from globalisation-related challenges, such as changes in world trade patterns, trade disputes, significant changes in the trade relations of the Union or the composition of the internal market and financial or economic crises, the transition to a low-carbon economy, digitisation or automation. The EGF thereby supports displaced workers in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible. Particular emphasis is placed on measures that help the most disadvantaged groups.
As such, the EGF contributes to the implementation of the principles defined under the European Pillar of Social Rights and the enhancement of social and economic cohesion among regions and Member States.
The actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and there must be no double funding from those instruments. EGF-supported actions or measures should aim to ensure that the largest possible number of beneficiaries participating in those actions find sustainable employment as soon as possible.
Legal basis

Remarks
The budget lines included in this chapter mainly constitute the structure for the various guarantees provided by the Union in the framework of financial assistance instruments or mechanisms to Member States. They will enable the Commission to service the debt should one of them default.
In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this case, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 of 26 May 2014 on the methods and procedure for making available the traditional, VAT and GNI-based own resources and on the measures to meet cash requirements (Recast) (
OJ L 168, 7.6.2014, p. 39
) applies.
A specific annex in this section gives a summary of borrowing-and-lending operations guaranteed by the general budget, including debt management, in respect of capital and interest.

Remarks
In accordance with Article 143 TFEU, the Union offers assistance to Member States outside the euro area that are experiencing or threatened by difficulties regarding their balance of payments. That assistance takes the form of medium-term loans that are conditional on the implementation of policies designed to address underlying economic problems. Typically, balance-of-payments assistance from the Union is offered in cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other international institutions or countries.
The Union guarantee is for borrowings raised on the capital markets or from financial institutions. The amount in principal of loans which may then be granted to the Member States is limited to EUR 50 000 000 000.

In accordance with Article 122 TFEU, the temporary support to mitigate unemployment risks in an emergency (SURE) is available to Member States that need to mobilise significant financial means to fight the negative economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on their territory. It provides financial assistance to Member States to address sudden increases in public expenditure for the preservation of employment. Specifically, SURE is to act as a second line of defence, supporting short-time work schemes and similar measures, to help Member States protect jobs, and thus employees and self-employed persons, against the risk of unemployment and loss of income.
SURE allows for a financial assistance up to EUR 100 000 000 000 in the form of loans from the Union to affected Member States.

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices (Article 101 TFEU), abuses of a dominant position (Article 102 TFEU), aids granted by States (Articles 107 and 108 TFEU) 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 TFEU.
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 item. 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.

The objective of the EGF is to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by offering assistance to workers who have been dismissed because of major restructuring events. Those events can result in particular from globalisation-related challenges, such as changes in world trade patterns, trade disputes, significant changes in the trade relations of the Union or the composition of the internal market and financial or economic crises, the transition to a low-carbon economy, digitisation or automation. The EGF thereby supports displaced workers in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible. Emphasis is placed on measures that help the most disadvantaged groups.
The maximum annual amount for the EGF is set in the MFF 2021-2027. The methods for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the EGF are laid down in point 9 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 16 December 2020 between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap towards the introduction of new own resources.

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 the Office’s independence.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.
The lack of strong consumer behaviour and consumer empowerment aspects in promoting energy efficiency, especially at local levels, calls for new and innovative solutions, especially because habits are often deep rooted and there may be resistance to change.
Changing citizen’s behaviour in the everyday life is a major challenge that needs to be addressed locally in order to change the attitude of citizens toward a more reflexive and energy efficient behaviour.
To help municipalities and regions enhance strong consumer behaviour of its citizens, the creation of an "EU forum for boosting energy efficient behaviour" (the ‘Forum’) accessible for municipalities and regions in the Member States is proposed. The Forum should:
—
offer a capacity-building programme through a train-the-trainer approach or similar guiding measures. The programme should be targeted towards local and regional actors in order for them to obtain, strengthen and maintain the necessary capabilities to carry out energy efficiency boosting activities, such as competitions, campaigns, art projects or nudging initiatives;
—
provide general information and statistics and offer resources to carry out more specific impact assessments of projects, scientific advice and specific public campaigning expert advice;
—
establish a knowledge-sharing platform for representatives from municipalities and regions to share information on citizen behaviour in their respective areas as well as share experience with concrete projects and awareness activities aimed at boosting strong consumer behaviour. The Forum shall actively animate peer exchanges, monitor and submit information on projects to the platform in order to pool efforts, generate economies of scale and promote convergence towards best practices across Europe.
The Forum shall set concrete aims and targets for the services provided.

Article 17 of Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC (
OJ L 130, 17.5.2019, p. 92
) has introduced a series of requirements for online content sharing service providers regarding their liability for making available copyright-protected content uploaded by their users. That article also requires that such cooperation between rights holders and platforms do not result in blocking the availability of works uploaded by users which do not infringe copyright or are not subject to copyright or related rights. As part of the transposition of Article 17 into national law, Member States such as Germany have elaborated on those requirements, for example on safeguards against blocking requests in respect of works in the public domain.
In order to ensure the correct application of this provision, it will be essential to easily identify works which are no longer protected by copyright (public domain works) or which can be used freely under open licences. This can be achieved by developing databases that can allow the identification and reference of public domain and openly licensed works. Such databases could have an added value by increasing opportunities for the re-use of public domain cultural heritage beyond the scope of Article 17, by making those works and their public domain status more readily available.
Directive (EU) 2019/790 contains rules to facilitate the use of content in the public domain (recital 3, Article 14). While acknowledging the status of works of visual art in the public domain (Article 14), the Directive also notes the differences between the national copyright laws governing the protection of the reproductions of these works which give rise to legal uncertainty and affect the cross-border dissemination of works of visual arts in the public domain (recital 53).
The purpose of this pilot project is to assess the opportunity of developing public repositories of public domain and openly licensed works would aim to enhance legal certainty for all types of works in the public domain or not subject to copyright protection.

Blockchain technology has become an integral part of industrial value chains. One of the most recent technological advancements is the exponential adoption across sectors of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – a unique asset or units of data stored on a distributed ledger. The main characteristics of NFTs, namely authenticity, ownership, and transferability, render each NFT unique and irreplaceable – a one-of-a-kind piece of work with a unique digital identifier on the distributed ledger.
NFTs have use-cases across all industries: from digital identity protection (giving individuals full control over which information to share with whom) to the Internet of Things (as a device authenticator) and the creative industry (providing liquidity in auctions and in the art, music, fashion, and gaming sectors).
Since virtually anything that can be digitised can be turned into an NFT, NFTs can play a key role in the protection of intellectual property rights by providing inventors, researchers, and creators with a unique digital certificate of intellectual property rights referenced in the distributed ledger.
The proposed European NFT Platform would pilot this use-case. It would explore the potential of NFTs and blockchain to function as an immutable record of ownership claims and allow the verification and authentication of ownership and licenses, the management of digital rights and copyright transfer, the identification of copyright infringement, and the avoidance of erroneous ownership claims. The pilot project would identify the basic infrastructure, standards and protocols required for deploying and upscaling the use of NFTs and blockchain for the protection of intellectual property in the Union, and their potential for encouraging innovation.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.
Based on the data available on 29 March 2022, more than 2 000 children from 1 481 families have been reported missing in Ukraine due to the war. Those numbers are growing by dozens on a daily basis, as the war continues. Providing answers to every family member who has reported a child as missing, from experience of other missing children organisations with war and disaster, may take many years and will include robust family tracing procedures for every unaccompanied Ukrainian child in Europe and every orphan of war as well cooperation with the International Committee on Missing Persons who will analyse unidentified remains.
Robust and fast procedures and tools for cross border cases management across Europe are essential given that people can move freely within the Union and EEA territory. Missing Children Europe - the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children - is expecting the number of unaccompanied minors going missing in the Union to rapidly grow as the war continues, as more territories are being attacked, and more children become orphaned due to the war.
Under these severe circumstances, the Ukrainian organisation for missing children (a member of Missing Children Europe) struggles to support parents and children, with not access to their offices, and reliant on the use of only a mobile device, an e-mail account, and social media. The communication with neighbouring countries, like Poland or Romania, is difficult and information can be easily lost, misplaced or be prone to human error. In this crisis, the need for a case management system that can handle cross-border information on missing Ukrainian children is more than evident. Although missing children organisations have a number of tools and communication means available, these are limited to local cases, the vast majority of which are runaway teens. The 32 116 000 hotlines, most of them members of Missing Children Europe, are missing a tool supporting cooperation and quick cross-border exchange of information on missing unaccompanied children via a common platform that values greatly the security and privacy of data.
The proposed Missing Children Tracker for Ukraine will leverage the power of technology to allow cross-border missing children cases be resolved, through organisation collaboration, as timely and efficiently as possible. This pilot action exploits the research findings and the technical know-how acquired from the EU-funded Horizon 2020 research project "ChildRescue" (grant agreement No 780938), establishing the required functionalities and services that can cope with cross border cases in times of desperate need.
The proposed implementation will provide a secure web platform environment, built on top of the basic prototype developed in the framework of the aforementioned Horizon 2020 initiative, for covering specific needs identified by Missing Children Europe and its response organisation in Ukraine:
—
reporting of missing Ukrainian children incidences and management of local and cross-border cases with the involvement of authorised organisations all around Europe;
—
secure sharing of cross-border cases among organisations involved, given that a child missing from Ukraine can be anywhere in Europe (not always at its own will);
—
transferring of existing database on cross-border cases to the unified platform;
—
intelligent matching of Ukrainian missing children cases based on advanced Machine Learning techniques;
—
seamless integration with www.missingchildrenukraine.eu website in 3 languages (EN, UA, RU), including the reporting form for (receiving) new cases and a function to post publicity appeals in the form of online posters on worrying cross border cases of missing children;
—
the automatic creation of printed posters for publicity appeals.
Additionally, in the framework of the proposed pilot project, two more tools will be developed:
—
private mobile applications (for Android and iOS) for easy access and control of the Missing Children Tracker platform by mobile device, providing to authorised users of the official response organisations, all around Europe, direct push notifications for incidents and updates related to missing children cases which, based on information or the result of the intelligent matching algorithms of the platform, could be located in their countries;
—
an intelligent bot (also based on artificial intelligence) especially designed for social media through which new missing children cases could be reported by Ukrainian families. Facebook Messenger is currently the main method of communication used by Ukrainian citizens for getting in touch with the Ukrainian missing children response organisation. The whole process for reporting a case is based just on the exchange of messages, supported by a few volunteers who are experiencing difficulties to fully handle the tonnes of information regarding missing children cases received via Messenger. The scope of the bot is to automate the whole process for reporting a disappearance, to ask and get answers to specific questions in an intelligent manner and to create new cases in the database linked to any available evidences (pictures, legal documents, etc.), allowing the Ukrainian case managers to focus on managing the cases instead of entering and comparing data received through chat.
The proposed pilot project will not only have an immediate positive impact on Ukrainian humanitarian crisis but can also set the basis for all missing children organisations under the umbrella of Missing Children Europe, to be prepared for any future multi-national emergency of similar size and nature. Moreover, the case management procedures and tools to be put in place for Ukrainian unaccompanied minors in the framework of the proposed pilot project, could easily in the future be extended to all unaccompanied minors missing in the Union as we know that over 18 000 minors went missing between 2018 and 2021 and more and more of them are also reported to the 116000 network (European Hotline for Missing Children) across Europe.
The results of this pilot project can be of assistance in similar events for a great number of Member States, and for organisations searching for missing refugee children across Europe and also to connect and protect children or even women/mothers by alerting of their safe position or location periodically. There will be an added possibility for the app to be used as a mothers/women safe button.
1. This pilot project can build on the success of the Childrescue project, which runs a specific database of missing children cases (both active and past), keeping information and detailed data per case, as well as of an intelligent tool able to classify (based on the analysis of the available data of every active case and intelligent pattern matching with past cases taking advantage of Machine Learning models) the disappearance of a child, e.g. runaway/thrownaway, nonfamily abduction, family abduction, custodial interference, lost and involuntarily missing. The Childrescue platform can be customised, enhanced and upgraded to be up and running to handle the cases of missing children as a result of the war in Ukraine.
There are several components of the Childrescue project that have proven extremely successful and that can be reused and readapted to cover the scope and objectives of the current proposal.
In short:
The Childrescue mobile app could easily be upgraded in order not only to send notifications but also to collect the required data for new cases and act as a safe and secure communication tool between people who report the disappearance, volunteer organisations in Ukraine supporting the initiative and response organisations of Missing Children Europe, both in Ukraine and neighbouring countries.
The Childrescue main platform could be enhanced in order to support cross-border collaboration, allowing information regarding Ukrainian missing children cases not only to be accessible but also to be further enriched by organisations in other countries (where the child could potentially be found) and by Missing Children Europe directly. This also applies to the unaccompanied child refugees database incorporated in the platform.
The Childrescue data management module can easily be customised in order to communicate and exchange information with a legacy platform of the Ukrainian missing children response organisation, as useful data for active and past cases could be retrieved by this platform.
The Childrescue AI/ML engine: The engine shall be enhanced towards two directions: (i) be able to match cases of minors found in different countries to missing children records, (ii) be able to identify patterns based on existing data and provide insights/ predict where each child that has crossed Ukrainian borders could be located (based on other children with similar characteristics already found).
2. Cooperation/interaction with other existing tools/initiatives at Union level
Based on the information provided by Missing Children Europe, the only existing operating tool, apart from Childrescue, which is related to the proposed project is a legacy Child Rights Monitoring (CRM) system managed by Missing Children Europe which the members of the organisation in other countries can access. However, the functionalities of the system are limited to those of entering some data for each case without having any of the features either of Childrescue or of the solution presented in the project proposal. In addition, as it is not an open CRM system there is no capability to build on top of it. A bridge in order to get data from the CRM however is going to be implemented so that any already entered information could be accessible and available in the new platform. The lack of other tools is the reason that Missing Children Europe and the whole 116000 network consider that only by taking advantage of the Childrescue existing tools, a complete solution as described in the proposal could be developed in a quick and efficient manner as the war is still ongoing and the time is putting pressure.
3. Time sensitivity:
The technical partners who developed the Childrescue components have a solid knowledge of the features of the platform that must get upgraded, as well as experience gained through their participation in the Childrescue demonstrators. In order to develop new modules for covering the features described in the project proposal which are not directly based on Childrescue, the time needed for designing and implementing a first working version of the core part of the solution is no more than 2 months. This will encompass the involvement of the whole development team involved in Childrescue, as well as experts from Missing Children Europe providing consultation and advise for each individual feature characteristics.

One of Galileo’s specific functions is search and rescue. Search and rescue services are continuously being developed with the objective of assisting people in distress but its use needs to be extended in the Union given the current geopolitical situation. This can be done by benefiting from emerging technologies that lead to digital and safer processes. Advanced search and rescue operations will open new business opportunities, as well as new challenges, supporting the digitalisation, sustainability and resilience challenges of the Union.
The project shall be focused on:
—
consolidation of concept of operations and positioning performance needs for search and rescue;
—
identification of main challenges to be overcome to ensure safe operation and resilient positioning;
—
identification and analysis of the technical and regulatory barriers (e.g. lack of standards and regulation), industry value chain and new business models that could emerge;
—
identification of the possible actions at Member State, regional and local level to boost business development, and support SMEs to deliver EU space-based solutions to provide safer solutions for EU fleets (both aircraft and vessels);
—
prototyping of onboard equipment that uses Galileo signals to address the main needs not covered so far by existing equipment, with focus on the use of Galileo search and rescue services. Equipment prototypes developed within this pilot project should be based, when available, on existing commercial off-the-shelf components;
—
implementation of several demonstrations for commercial aircraft and fishing vessels. The aim is to demonstrate feasibility and added value for the sector, validating the operational concept with the participation of Aviation and Maritime users and competent authorities from different countries. The aircraft and vessels in the demonstration shall be equipped at least with a beacon prototype with the capacity to be remotely activated using Galileo signals and the specific messages encoded;
—
contribution to draft new standards defining (1) minimum operational requirements for a Search and Rescue 406MHz beacons in commercial aircraft (ELT-DT) and fishing vessels (EPIRBS) so that they can be remotely activated and (2) the necessary tests required to verify the performance compliance in support of future regulatory initiatives in Europe;
—
attendance at existing working groups addressing solutions for search and rescue beacons, including different public/private platforms and interviewing key industrial stakeholders, such as aircraft operators, fishing vessels associations, shipping operators and relevant Maritime and aviation authorities for search and rescue;
—
consolidation of the user requirements and definition of equipment (beacons) requirements.
Cospas-Sarsat, the international organisation for search and rescue is contributing to save approximately 2 000 people a year on average. The equipment used (406MHz Beacon) includes basic mandatory capabilities to transmit an alert message to satellites which re-transmit the information to the ground infrastructure. Galileo is already contributing by providing its satellites for message forwarding, namely the so-called forward link service. In the ground infrastructure, the location of the beacon is determined and Search and Rescue forces are activated.
An optional capability is currently provided by Galileo, with the primary objective of providing an acknowledgment receipt to the beacon activated, the so-called return link.
The possibility to have a communication channel from the Galileo infrastructure to any beacon in the world will enable new functionalities, and one of the most relevant ones is the possibility to remotely activate a beacon from the ground infrastructure when necessary.
Preliminary work has been done in the commercial aviation sector which resulted in the publication of a minimum aviation system performance standard (EUROCAE ED-277), describing the operational procedures to be put in place to enable this evolution. However, no minimum performance standard for the beacons is in place yet, that could be used to support a future regulation. In fact, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) providing the requirements for aircraft tracking explains that the remote beacon activation needs further development. The standard for aircraft beacons (EUROCAE ED-62B) does not include the possibility for remote activation yet.
On the other hand, remote beacon activation is attracting the attention of the maritime community with special focus on the fishing vessel sector, which sees big benefits in protecting further the lives of fishermen.
EU space data from Galileo and EGNOS will be key enablers of this transformation, by facilitating reliable and robust positioning information needed for faster search and rescue activities. Galileo will provide (1) the communication channel to enable the activation of the beacon and (2) ranging signals to improve the accuracy of the position with respect to GPS, both enabling a faster and more accurate location of the person in distress. Satellite-based Augmentation Systems (EGNOS in Europe) will provide additional corrections to improve accuracy and integrity of interest to implement safely the rescue process, following the location of the distress e.g needed by helicopter emergency operations.

Entrepreneurship is one of the Union’s core values. Young entrepreneurs, forward-looking minds, and startuppers are the backbone and future of European innovation. The Young European Entrepreneur Award (YEEA) aims to become the EU's Acceleration and Investment Programme for young entrepreneurs from all over Europe, recognising and fostering existing innovators while providing skills development.
YEEA is envisioned as an annual project, supported by both the European Parliament and the Commission, together with relevant networks, such as Business Angels Europe, the European Angels Fund, EBAN, EE-HUB, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, CEA-PME, EMEN and WEgate, amongst other stakeholders. Within the European Parliament, YEEA will be hosted and organised under the umbrella of EU40, the network of Young Members of the European Parliament.
The goal is to see 100 young entrepreneurs apply to the YEEA Acceleration and Investment Programme annually. YEEA will provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ to Union funds (Commission, European Investment Bank, EU start-up fund) and private investors. In addition, the 10 best young entrepreneurs would benefit each year from tailor-made mentoring from renowned consultancies and/or companies, who would offer their knowledge as an in-kind contribution to the programme. YEEA would thereby constitute a sounding board for the voices of the young innovators and entrepreneurs.
The Young Members of the European Parliament will play a pivotal role in advertising the award and accelerator across Europe and within their constituencies to ensure that the public call to young entrepreneurs will be as widespread and accessible as possible. Young Members of the European Parliament will be champions of the initiative and its message, and play a crucial part in the communication, political marketing and development of the competition. The European Parliament could host an annual event (Investment Days) to promote and grant the award.

Semiconductors are the backbone of the modern economy, the cornerstone of emerging technologies, and are in the middle of geopolitical competition. Europe cannot become completely self-reliant but relies on like-minded partner countries to diversify and secure its semiconductor supply chains, while leveraging its diplomatic weight with the aim of mitigating or preventing a crisis and achieving strategic autonomy. The US already initiated a Chip4 alliance without involving the Union. If Europe wants to become a relevant actor in the chips value chain, it must also invest in the competitiveness of its chips diplomacy and make it a cornerstone of its foreign policy.
This pilot project would establish track 2 bilateral dialogues between European stakeholders and strategic partners to enhance coordination and confidence-building on strategic, diplomatic, trade and security issues in the context of the semiconductors and semiconductor technologies, including topics such as protective measures, export controls, intellectual property protection, supply chain security, standards, certification and green innovation. It will support a better understanding of the semiconductor value chain and its evolution as well as a stronger European ecosystem through international partnerships. The specific objectives of this pilot project are to contribute to:
—
track 2 diplomacy to increase consensus and coordination between all relevant European non-state stakeholders of the semiconductor ecosystem and those of partner countries, through a dialogue work stream;
—
better understanding and analysis of factors affecting the semiconductor value chain and its evolution, through a research work stream;
—
promoting the Union’s economic base, competitiveness, growth, standards and contributions to the global semiconductor value chain and its resilience in partner countries, through an advocacy work stream.
To reach those objectives, three work streams should be established with the following indicative list of activities:
—
dialogue: as the core activity of this project, the organisation of track 2 consultation meetings with key global partners in the context on semiconductor topics of shared or converging interests. In contrast to official track 1 diplomacy that can already be undertaken, track 2 diplomacy is unofficial in nature, involves industry and is facilitated by a civil society organisation. This offers faster and informal channels of communication with strategic partners.
—
research: briefings and research to support and inform the consultations and other forms of engagement, and joint research initiatives with stakeholders from partner countries to inform the mapping and monitoring efforts of the value chain.
—
advocacy: dedicated outreach and public diplomacy channels to disseminate and promote Union’s chip policies, interests and achievements in Europe and abroad, e.g. at conferences or via social media, traditional media, written publications and other channels.
The priorities and intended results are:
—
to enhance track 2 diplomacy, European coordination, engagement and advocacy through regular dialogues and consultations with key global partners on semiconductor topics of shared or converging interests;
—
to increase consensus with partner countries on how to enhance supply chain security and a trusted foundry certification programme;
—
to strengthen multi-stakeholder engagement and confidence-building between European non-state stakeholders in the semiconductor ecosystem, and with partner countries;
—
to encourage cooperation on R&D and workforce development with strategic partners;
—
to enhance dissemination of Union’s best practices in supply chain security, R&D or other topics of converging interests;
—
to support and inform official governmental track 1 dialogues and decisions with insights from relevant industry and civil society actors in the semiconductor ecosystem;
—
to strengthen convergence between the standards, policies, and best practices of the Union and those of partner countries;
—
to offer European stakeholders avenues for signalling other delegations;
—
to support the Commission’s activities under Regulation (EU) 2023/1781 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 September 2023 establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem and amending Regulation (EU) 2021/694 (Chips Act) (
OJ L 229, 18.9.2023, p. 1
), in particular on international cooperation and the mapping and monitoring of the supply and value chains;
—
to support the envisioned activities of the European Economic Security Strategy as they pertain to semiconductors and semiconductor technologies.

With the publication of the European Green Deal, the Commission set out the objective to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent. The aim is to make all sectors of the Union fit to meet this challenge, including the Union space sector. While Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is recognised as the most appropriate methodology to measure and act upon environmental impacts, there is currently no commonly agreed sector-specific methodology, as well as there is a lack of data, and several important environmental aspects are not covered by standard LCA impact assessment methods.
The objective of the pilot project is to create a space sector specific methodology for LCA of space activities including the specificities of the impacts on the Earth's environments and the impacts on the space environment:
The three key benefits of such space sector specific methodologies are:
—
they would allow comparability of a product's environmental performance with that of similar products in the European market;
—
they would ensure fair competition among manufacturers and improve communication through a standardised approach of the environmental performance of products;
—
a Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)-based methodology helps to understand, prioritise and improve the supply chain and use of resources through a life cycle approach. It could help put in place measures to save resources and focus on areas that have the largest impact on the overall environmental performance of the products.
The space supply chain can be split in two domains: differentiating between impacts on the Earth's environment and the impacts on the space environment.
The impact of space activities on the Earth's environment concerns mainly the production and operations of space systems and launchers, the launch activities for the placement in orbit of the systems, the space system components surviving the re-entry in the atmosphere carrying fuel and/or radioactive material and the biological hazard due to sample return from other celestial bodies exploration missions.
The impacts from space activities on the space environment derive from the creation of space debris due to placement in orbit of space systems (e.g. launcher upper stages, satellites release brackets, propellants and gas emissions in space) and/or not adequate disposal of space objects at the end of their operational life (e.g. graveyard orbital parking, passivation of space objects, controlled re-entry), the fragmentation and proliferation of debris due to in-orbit collisions between active satellites and space debris objects (including inactive satellites or components thereof) and among space debris objects, with a chain reaction potential and the contamination of other celestial bodies due to robotic and human exploration activities. Although, environmental LCA is not new in the space sector, very few quality-assured and inter-operable inventory datasets are currently available. Several potentially important environmental aspects are today not covered by the impact assessment models or disregard due to a lack of information or quantification of the emissions. In addition, there is no common agreement on sector-specific rules concerning life cycle-based assessments shared along the value chain nor reference systems for space systems, projects or programmes.

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that connects the European Green Deal to living spaces and experiences. The initiative calls on all of us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls.
One key element of linking this approach with local territories and partners is the organisation of the NEB Lab. The NEB Lab is a co-creation space at the service of the NEB community for the delivery of beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive projects to improve our daily lives. It focuses on connecting people, learning from each other and tapping into everyone's experience.
Another important element is the 'NEB Compass', a tool that helps promoters understand to what extent a given project is embodying the NEB approach. The tool explains what the three core NEB values — sustainability, inclusion, and beauty — mean in specific contexts; and how they can be integrated and combined with the working principles of participation and transdisciplinary.
Thanks to funding from different Union programmes, NEB has started to implement change on the ground, but more can be done. The European Parliament has underlined the need for a dedicated NEB funding on several occasions and in particular in its report on NEB. There seems to be a gap in providing financial support to smaller local and regional beneficiaries in Europe that struggle to access the standard channels of Union funding.
The aim of this pilot project is thus stimulating and supporting local and regional NEB grassroots projects by facilitating access to financial support, especially for small project promoters. The results and learning from this pilot project could feed into the work on long-term NEB financing.
This pilot project proposes a comprehensive approach with two complementing actions that promote the NEB core values and principles and boost projects serving the green and digital transition: the creation of a NEB Funding Advisory Hub and the development of a NEB Lab Voucher Scheme.
(a) Action A — NEB Funding Advisory Hub
The NEB Innovative Funding Advisory Hub would look for and map funding opportunities for local NEB-aligned projects, so that they can obtain the initial financing. The Hub would aim to enhance the speed and efficiency with which projects can be matched with funding, notably from philanthropy and crowdfunding, but including other public and private sources. The first stage of the implementation of this pilot project could consist of a set of activities, for example:
—
the creation of an interactive IT platform where social economy investors, philanthropy organisations, as well as any other investors, be it public or private, would profile themselves in a uniform way to announce their willingness to support the Hub. The IT platform could also feature a crowdfunding platform that would serve the purposes of the Hub.
—
the collection and screening of NEB-aligned project applications. The project applications would be screened against a set of objective criteria to ensure alignment with NEB values and objectives. The Hub could provide advice and know-how to project promoters to maximize the chances of attracting private funding.
In the medium-to-long-term horizon, the Hub could evolve to provide:
—
a customer desk for projects and promotors — a 'one-stop-shop';
—
a comprehensive and objective search function for the investors to facilitate reaching out to the most appropriate projects from their own perspective and in their own specific sector.
(b) Action B — NEB Lab Voucher Scheme
The NEB Lab Voucher Scheme would consist of lump sums in the form of vouchers provided on a competitive and transparent allocation basis to small scale grassroots projects proposed by both local and regional authorities and private sector organisations (especially SMEs and non-for-profit organisations).
This action aims to support:
—
the deployment and implementation of the NEB values and main principles (transdisciplinary, multi-level engagement and participatory processes); and
—
projects with a clear proven commitment to the NEB values, stimulating and supporting the NEB community.
The NEB Lab Voucher Scheme will seek to reward those actors and projects with proven commitments to the NEB, which would work in an inclusive, multi-level governance way focused on addressing societal challenges, according to the NEB values.
The NEB Lab Voucher Scheme will have low entry barriers to reach local and regional authorities and places that would normally not participate in such and fund NEB projects (e.g. EUR 30 000 - 50 000 per voucher), working towards economic regeneration, sustainability and societal cohesion, facilitating industrial and social changes, including climate-change adaptation and mitigation.
The delivery of the NEB Lab Voucher Scheme could also connect with, and build upon the work already being done by, the EIT Community New European Bauhaus.
The operational activities under this pilot project would be implemented by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), in partnership with the Committee of the Regions.
The JRC would cooperate with NEB Community partners, the EIT Community NEB, and work in close cooperation with other Commission services, such as DG REGIO, DG BUDG and DG ECFIN.

Enhancing the stability of funding mechanisms and reducing the prevalence of fixed-term contracts for research organisations is a crucial step towards making research careers more appealing. The Commission presented on 13 July 2023 a proposal for a Council Recommendation on a European framework to attract and retain research, innovation and entrepreneurial talents in Europe (COM(2023) 436). This proposal introduces a limit of one-third of fixed-term contracts in a given employer's total research human resources and it encourages employers who already operate under this threshold to aim for even lower rates. Currently, about two-thirds of universities’ scientific staff and nearly all PhD candidates are on temporary contracts, making this a highly ambitious goal. Even upon achieving this target, a significant number of staff member will still be on temporary contracts.
Beyond the proposed Council Recommendation there is merit in a reflection of the role of the Horizon Europe programme in tackling this challenge for the European Research Area. Horizon Europe is the biggest research programme in the world and therefore has the cloud to lead the way towards the ERA we want.
Therefore, this pilot project has the objective of:
(1) encouraging organisations that employ research talent with project-based funding to better manage their human capital by shifting away from project-based hiring and retention to sustainable, long-term research positions, and providing necessary skills and knowledge to their temporary staff for future projects or career progression within the same organisation.
(2) supporting and encouraging organisations to proactively prepare and assist their temporary staff in finding suitable opportunities when further employment in the same organisation is not available.
To realise these objectives, this pilot project should:
(1) gain a comprehensive understanding of employers' strategies for employee offboarding as well as of the national practices to identify successful strategies that effectively deter researcher unemployment, particularly those dependent on project funding;
(2) develop and make accessible best practices and tools that support organisations in equipping their employees with necessary skills and knowledge, minimising the negative impact caused by job transitions;
(3) encourage and promote the use of best practices and tools that support organisations in equipping their employees with necessary skills and knowledge, minimising the negative impact caused by job transitions, as a mediation strategy when permanent contracts cannot be offered;
(4) develop scenarios and assess their feasibility in view of new funding and contractual modalities for Horizon Europe projects to foster the desired change in hiring and retention practices of beneficiaries of the Horizon Europe. These scenarios could also assess the feasibility of a European guarantee offered to public research organisations who hire research staff for the implementation of a Horizon Europe project on a contract that is significantly longer than the running time of the project.
Lastly, considering each Member State's interest in preventing researcher unemployment, national practices are already in place. Therefore, another key task is to map and compare these national practices to identify successful strategies that effectively deter researcher unemployment, particularly those dependent on project funding.

The metaverse is the convergence of ideas that have been around for a few years now: virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain technology. The metaverse implies a network of virtual environments accessed via different devices where users can interact, socialise, work, play and consume in an immersive digital setting that mirrors many of our real-world habits.
While the Commission is pondering the regulation of the metaverse, the general knowledge of what this emerging technology entails is still very limited or beyond average comprehension for the society as a whole, and for Union policy-makers and civil servants in particular. Nonetheless, they have to legislate on this evolving digital world, among other areas, in regard to the respect of fundamental rights, data protection, privacy, as well as the level of responsibility of individuals when acting in the virtual sphere. What the metaverse is, how it operates, what VR experiences it may offer, what the potential implications of its use and the activities run in that environment are, etc., are questions which answers remain vague, at the very least, for the majority.
This pilot project will enable or create a metaverse space within a Union institutions’ body with a determining legislative involvement to bring the phenomenon closer to the Union institutions, make it accessible to better understand the repercussions of this futuristic digital world, and to elevate its knowledge for better legislate about it, when the time comes.
The space for the metaverse at the Union institutions will be open for interactions to working groups, professionals, think tanks, technology experts, scientists, legal scholars, social psychologists, state regulators, and elected officials --and their reflections will contribute to elaborate an eventual regulatory framework on the phenomenon of the metaverse.

Modern smartphone, tablet and (increasingly) desktop environments have established marketplaces, such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store, for the installation and maintenance of apps. Those market places offer convenient and curated apps that come at the cost of high barrier to entry on the market for smaller providers and less choice for consumers. Recent antitrust cases (AT.40437 Apple - App Store Practices (music streaming)) have highlighted the problem with app stores, and the Commission has proposed the Digital Markets Acts Regulation in order to create more competition on the market. Despite the legislation and antitrust cases, Union institutions themselves do not offer consumers free choice to use or move away from dominating marketplaces. For instance, all android apps released by the Commission, such as Events@EU, Eurostat and myregion, are only available in the Google Play store.
The pilot project is aimed at extending the Union technical infrastructure to release, maintain and promote Union applications without further strengthening the market position of gatekeeper app stores. The focus of the pilot project includes Union institutions releasing their apps on existing alternative app stores, including f-droid that aims at promoting apps released under open source licenses. It would also include releasing the source code of the apps for people to build the apps on their own and to release the apk files for side-loading without the use of an app store. That work is consistent with Commission decision C(2021)8759 on the open source licensing and reuse of Commission software and other overarching policy goals of the Commission and the European Parliament.

In the White Paper on Artificial Intelligence (AI) published in February 2020 by the Commission, environmental sustainability is explicitly mentioned as a challenge for Europe's immediate future. This study seeks to align the European AI strategy and its actions with the European Green Deal, to make the EU one of the leading regions in the adoption of best practices in the development of sustainable AI models.
AI has a strong potential for environmental impact. On the positive side, AI and data analytics technologies have the potential to accelerate the analysis of large volumes of data, enabling better understanding of environmental challenges and providing solutions to them. This will provide mechanisms for improved environmental planning, decision-making and monitoring of environmental threats. Specifically, AI could help reduce energy and resource consumption, promote decarbonisation and boost the circular economy. Another interesting aspect is the use of AI to analyse the results of past scientific experiments and make future experiments more successful.
On the negative side, AI also poses a number of environmental threats. The use of ICT solutions accounts for 5-9% of electricity consumption worldwide, and could reach 20% by 2030, according to the European Parliament report "The role of Artificial Intelligence in the European Green Deal" . In practice, this represented between 1 100 and 1 300 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 in 2020. In addition, the ‘Ethics for sustainable AI adoption connecting AI and ESG’ study showed that the carbon emissions for training a single natural language processing model was equivalent to 125 round-trip flights between New York and Beijing . With specific reference to the use of AI, some scientific articles on its environmental impact differentiate between red AI, or energy-intensive AI, and green AI, designed following energy efficiency parameters. By way of illustration, it is worth noting that the computing resources needed to train AI models have been doubling every 3-4 months since 2012, as more accurate models are sought. The factors driving this increase in consumption can be summarised to three: the cost of running an AI model in isolation, the size of the training dataset and the number of hyperparameter experiments performed.
The Coordinated Plan on Artificial Intelligence review 2021 focus area ‘Bring AI into play for climate and environment’ includes actions aiming at advancing greener AI. These actions include supporting research on reducing the energy consumption of AI through the Horizon Europe programme; and developing low-power processors for AI applications through Horizon Europe and the institutionalised European Partnership on Key Digital Technologies. However, the Coordinated Plan does not focus on incentivising developers to use green AI.
In this context, this pilot project aims to carry out a study to define elements to incentivise AI developers to change from energy-intensive AI towards environmentally sustainable AI (green AI), promoting procedures for better efficiency and indicating the carbon footprint of an AI system, including the exploration of an ‘energy efficiency and carbon intensity marking’ and a ‘green AI label’. This way, this study will contribute forming the bulk of the activities needed for the greening of AI so that it can serve as a basis for a potential European green algorithms programme or for any green AI legislation that may be considered in the future. The proposal for an Artificial Intelligence Act does not include any incentives or obligations to calculate and simulate the environmental impact of AI systems, so this study would not be overlapping with any current action, programme or existing law.
Implementation
The main activities of the study would focus on the identification and further development of non-technological solutions to mitigate the environmental impact arising from the use of AI solutions, such as the development of best practice procedures, tools and the knowledge base necessary to meet this challenge.
Specifically, as the energy consumption and carbon intensity of AI systems is emerging as the main environmental problem, the following activities are envisage in order to incentivise developers/providers to change:
—
the identification of best practices and the generation of a repository that includes examples of energy efficient design and application that can serve as good practices for businesses;
—
based on this, the development of guidelines and a methodology for efficient algorithms, which includes best identified data and pre-trained models from the point of view of the rationalisation of the training activity. The objective is to identify models that reduce energy consumption by balancing the volume of data needed to train a model, the amount of time to train it and the number of iterations to optimise its parameters, reducing its carbon intensity. Given the fact that currently there is no methodology to calculate and simulate the environmental impact of AI systems or algorithms, this study would set the groundwork for its development and encourage its rollout;
—
the development of an ‘energy efficiency and carbon intensity marking’ for AI systems, this is, a marking by which a developer/provider can indicate the carbon footprint of an AI system calculated by estimating the power consumption of the algorithms training and execution, including the disclosure of information about the energy source and the use of renewable energies. This marking would need the definition of minimum standards and an efficiency scale, as well as a methodology and procedure for the disclosure of the information;
—
based on the ‘energy efficiency and carbon intensity marking’, the development of a ‘green AI label’, namely a label by which the less carbon intensive and most energy efficient AI systems are recognised and that promotes the techniques and procedures used for a better efficiency;
—
the identification of other incentivising solutions as the definition of indicators to measure the level of sustainability of AI and the use of sustainability as an assessment criterion in public procurement;
—
the design and implementation of a dissemination campaign to highlight the results obtained with the study, which will serve to raise awareness of the potential of the use of green AI as a vector for environmental sustainability.

The Internet delivers growth and innovation at unprecedented speeds. But it is mostly forgotten that one of its original architectural principles was interoperability. Services like the Web and email are based on interoperability. However, today, services of a diverse and decentralised system with open standards have been replaced by ‘walled gardens’ with locked-in users by a small number of companies, especially messenger and social media services. This pilot project could serve as a first step to address this market dominance and thus contribute to reach a level playing field in the digital sector in support for European SMEs. The aim of this pilot project would be to map out options for interoperability, advantages, challenges and potential technical solutions for messenger and social media services as a first step towards the development of open interoperability standards. Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2022 on contestable and fair markets in the digital sector and amending Directives (EU) 2019/1937 and (EU) 2020/1828 (Digital Markets Act) (
OJ L 265, 12.10.2022, p. 1
) already addresses interoperability for number-independent interpersonal communications services in Article 7 and requests the Commission to evaluate if the scope should be extended to online social networking services. This pilot project could contribute to such an evaluation and therefore, could create more competition where compatible services and products could plug into systems surrounded by "walled gardens" and thus enable more companies to compete with digital gatekeepers. Therefore, it would contribute to European alternatives, European strategic autonomy and foster European digital sovereignty. In order for those tools to be successful, a central element would be to guarantee a high level of data protection, transparency and user choice.

The aim of this pilot project is to promote European leadership and autonomy in fuel standards for aviation. Currently, the Union sets fuel standards for various transport modes for safety and sustainability reasons, but this is not the case in the aviation sector. This presents challenges in terms of securing and promoting Union interests including in technological leadership and sustainability, as well as avoiding bottlenecks in certification and ensuring the public interest is maintained.
In order to comply with the European Green Deal and the targets established in Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 June 2021 establishing the framework for achieving climate neutrality and amending Regulations (EC) No 401/2009 and (EU) 2018/1999 (‘European Climate Law’) (
OJ L 243, 9.7.2021, p. 1
), also within the transport sector in general and aviation in particular, constant evolution is needed towards reducing the climate and environmental impact of existing and future jet fuels. Indeed, its composition will have a direct translation in the amount of CO
2
 emissions per passenger per kilometre, but actually also on the non-CO
2
 emissions, whose climate impact is estimated by European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to be as much as twice that of CO
2
 emissions alone. While sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and more particularly synthetic fuels will help to reduce CO
2
 emissions by increasingly replacing conventional fuel, it is still foreseen within the Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 October 2023 on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport (ReFuelEU Aviation) (
OJ L, 2023/2405, 31.10.2023, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2405/oj
) that for many years ahead the fossil jet fuel will retain the biggest share within the aviation fuel blend. Furthermore, it is precisely the presence of aromatics and sulphur in kerosene that causes non-CO
2
 impacts, and which need to be addressed urgently.
One of the constraints experienced in this venture is the fact that the current standardisation process for jet fuel takes place almost exclusively within ASTM International, a US-based private organisation enjoying a near monopolistic position. This current status quo risks eventually delaying and hindering the rapid development and uptake of potential innovation opportunities in jet fuel composition, including safety, minimising non-CO
2
 effects, pollution and CO
2
 emissions, which are expected to take place in the upcoming years. The Union needs to be fully prepared to have its own autonomy in this domain, as is the case in many other sectors, in order to be able to be an early-mover. The United Kingdom also has a standardisation body for aviation fuels, which leaves the Union alone in this regard, thereby undermining its autonomy.
Therefore, in view of the changes envisaged in the area of jet fuel, including the further requirements on the certification of SAFs laid down in Regulation (EU) 2023/2405, and given the need to foster innovation in the zero-emissions and zero-pollution front, it is important to ensure the strategic autonomy of the Union. This pilot project would be a first step in enabling a useful tool that provides the necessary structures for the Union to decide on standards and criteria regarding aviation fuels and blending qualities. A particular aspect would be to finally advance in lowering the minimum thresholds for aromatics and sulphur, fostering the evolution in engine technologies and to pave the way jets to operate with a 100% SAF composition of fuels.
Given the relevant safety implications for the aviation sector, it would be good to have this pilot project to explore the possibilities and requirements for a Union-based entity, and in this sense to identify which role EASA could play in this process.
Finally, it seems evident that this pilot project supports various Union objectives, including that of strategic autonomy, technological leadership, the goals of the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, the European Climate Law, the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, the EASA Sustainable Aviation Programme, Regulation (EU) 2023/2405, and various other aviation and industrial policies. Moreover, it could easily seek collaboration with international aviation bodies and initiatives to ensure consistency and harmonisation at international level, without jeopardising international aviation, all while promoting greater safety and sustainability objectives.

The predatory military Russian invasion launched in February 2022 against the sovereign state of Ukraine is not only a blatant attack on the rule of law and democracy but also a reminder that the Union needs to invest in its strategic autonomy. As long as the Union does not have a resilient energy system, which can sufficiently ensure security of supply, it will remain vulnerable to geopolitical pressures through weaponised energy exports.
Nuclear energy is sufficiently recognised as a secure, reliable and decarbonised source of energy. There is therefore potential for an increased role of nuclear in our energy mix as a decarbonised energy source that can drastically reduce our need for imports and hence strengthen the Union’s strategic autonomy.
The technical assessment of nuclear energy carried out by the Joint Research Centre in 2021 confirmed the broad technical and scientific consensus around deep geological formations as an appropriate, safe and feasible way to dispose of radioactive waste for very long time scales. Furthermore, the current storage procedures for spent nuclear fuel and other easily dispersible intermediate- and high-level waste types were not intended to be sustainable in the long run.
Additionally, the draft complementary delegated act on the inclusion of nuclear energy to the taxonomy, as proposed by the Commission, states that Member States need to have ‘a plan with detailed steps to have in operation, by 2050, a disposal facility for high-level radioactive waste’.
The current legal framework on nuclear waste management and shipment has its basis in the Euratom treaty and is further developed through both Council Directive 2011/70/Euratom of 19 July 2011 establishing a Community framework for the responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste (
OJ L 199, 2.8.2011, p. 48
) and Council Directive 2006/117/Euratom of 20 November 2006 on the supervision and control of shipments of radioactive waste and spent fuel (
OJ L 337, 5.12.2006, p. 21
). As it stands now, radioactive waste is a national issue and its disposal is a competence that lies exclusively within each of the Member States. More specifically, Directive 2011/70/Euratom requires Member States to establish and maintain a national legislative, regulatory and organisational framework (Article 5) which includes the adoption of a national programme for the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, covering all types of spent fuel and radioactive waste under its jurisdiction and all stages of spent fuel and radioactive waste management from generation to disposal (Article 11).
The shipments of radioactive waste towards a common disposal facility at Union level would be subject to the rules set out in Chapter 2 of Directive 2006/117/Euratom, which deals with ‘intra-community shipments’. It must also be stressed that the Commission has set up an expert group on financial aspects of the nuclear back-end, including deep geological disposal facility, to support the Commission in assessing costing, financing and funding elements of such facilities. Activities under that expert group work programme should be seen as complementary to some of the activities proposed under this project.
While disposing of radioactive waste in another Member State is allowed, Article 4(1) of Directive 2011/70/Euratom sets out that each Member State shall have ultimate responsibility for management of the spent fuel and radioactive waste generated in it. The possibility of disposing of radioactive waste in another Member State is regulated by Article 4(4) of Directive 2011/70/Euratom, which reads as follows: ‘Radioactive waste shall be disposed of in the Member State in which it was generated, unless at the time of shipment an agreement […] has entered into force between the Member State concerned and another Member State […] to use a disposal facility in one of them’. Such agreement(s) should then be included in the national programme, as stipulated in Article 12(1), point (k), according to which: ’The national programmes […] shall include: […] (k) if any, the agreement(s) concluded’.
At the same time, Member States are encouraged to plan long-term and include deep geological nuclear waste repositories in their respective national plans.
As of today, no country worldwide has a deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel in operation. Currently, only Finland is constructing one and only Sweden and France have realistic plans for deep geological waste repositories to be available in the early 2030's. The rest of the Member States have no such concepts yet so that their possible future projects would still take decades to be operational. The French design plans however only take into account disposal capabilities for whatever French radioactive waste is in existence or planned as of today.
While nuclear energy plants are the most obvious, they are certainly not the only source of radioactive waste. Industry, hospitals and medical devises, research centres and universities, they all produce radioactive waste. All Member States, regardless of whether they have nuclear energy in their energy mix or not, produces and has to deal with some type of radioactive waste. The enormous financial and engineering efforts required, in addition to the extremely long construction periods, make the duplicity of various deep geological repositories scattered across the Union seem extremely inefficient.
Therefore, a pilot project will be launched, in cooperation with DG ENER, and, if successful, continued through a preparatory action (PA). That process could take the form of a feasibility study on a deep geological nuclear waste repository of common European use carried out by, for example but not limited to, the ‘Implementing Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste Technology Platform’: knowledge created by the (IGD-TP) will be of high relevance.
The aim of such a study would be to enable policymakers to assess, data in hand, whether technically, financially and in terms of overall efficiency, pooling European resources together to deal with radioactive waste makes sense and determine if a review of current legislation to enable such a joint European approach to radioactive waste management would be required.
The primary focus should lie on the required enabling actions, in particular a common radioactive waste classification system in the Union, followed by defining allocation of responsibilities, ownership/title and financial liabilities between the waste generators, waste management organisations (where relevant) and the Member States participating in a regional deep geological repository project. Nuclear safeguards should be considered early in the analysis along with the safety and security aspects.

Remarks
Cycling is a healthy, zero-emission and relatively inexpensive means of transport that can decrease the dependency on fossil fuel-dependent transports.
It increases the attractiveness of urban areas, creates a new local mobility structure and reduces traffic.
As a consequence of the price increase of fossil fuels since the start of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, cycling has recently become more popular.
The construction of new cross-border cycling lanes would facilitate the mobility of citizens affected by transport poverty while encouraging young people with a sedentary lifestyle to practice cycling.
Cycling lanes can be laid out on the site of disused railways or, if possible, they can be laid out in promenade areas along the water, and in areas inaccessible to cars so as not to hinder road traffic.
However, to fully unlock the potential of cycling and the aim of doubling the number of kilometres cycled in Europe by 2030, it is important to get as better overview of the current situation in Member States. Such an overview would enable an informed analysis of how much more cycling infrastructure is needed.
Therefore, this pilot project will serve to:
—
define the methodology for the collection of relevant cycling data, and
—
collect data on the number of kilometres of existing cycling infrastructure in Member States, the quality of the infrastructure as well as on the modal share of cycling.
The main aim will be to provide a solid basis for ensuing assessments on how much of the existing cycling infrastructure in the Union would need to be extended.

The tourism ecosystem is 99,9% represented by SMEs and other small stakeholders. The proportion of micro and small companies is particularly high in hotels, bars and restaurants, with many owners operating independently or under franchise from large groups. A common challenge raised by the tourism community during different Tourism Task Force meetings in the TRAN Committee is accessing to Union funding. The majority of tourism stakeholders believe in the importance of creating a proper tourism budget line, but until this becomes a reality, the tourism ecosystem has to learn how to accessing 14 different programmes currently under way in the multiannual framework.
The recently released Guide on Union funding for tourism has aims to support the tourism ecosystem to find opportunities. The question is: how can the Union build capacity for the tourism community and other parts of the tourism ecosystem to access those different calls? This is the last step to empower micro and SMEs, and the Tourism Ecosystem to be aware and access the available Union funding, finding partnerships and consortia, best practices and other tools.
According to findings in the EU special report entitled EU Support to Tourism - Need for a fresh strategic orientation and a better funding approach, from the Court of Auditors, during the last multiannual financial framework the Commission’s actions in supporting the Union tourism ecosystem were partially effective.
The transition pathway for tourism also highlighted the need to facilitate access to Union funding, the need to build up capacity, support through technical assistance and funding to meet these demands.
Bearing that in mind, this pilot project intends to:
—
ease the access to Union funding for tourism enterprises and the tourism community in general by mapping the difficulties and creating the appropriate tools to increase the share of tourism and travel ecosystem on total using of funds, complementing the existent database of Union-funded projects;
—
analyse which programmes of the guide are suitable for implementing targets of the tourism transition pathways depending on profile of stakeholders and maturity of project ideas;
—
highlight good practices of tourism projects funded by Union funding;
—
capitalise successful and unsuccessful projects: stimulate transferring and avoid duplication;
—
connect enterprises and the tourism community for strengthening existing networks and them with contact points that can help them;
—
develop guidelines for companies and other parts of the tourism ecosystem in how to apply successfully to Union funding programmes, connecting with existing structures;
—
monitor with the programme managing authorities which projects were awarded and how implementation goes.
The objectives of this pilot project are in line with the SME Strategy, the update Industrial Strategy and the report on establishing a Union strategy for sustainable tourism. They intend to represent more help to SMEs and other actors in the tourism ecosystem to access Union funds, clarifying some complex aspects.
The information provided by this pilot project will be a significant added value to be used by institutional information amplifiers to maximise the outreach across the entire Union.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.
The Commission should establish a European network of gender-conscious investors. Such network should raise awareness and prevent the gender investment gap by inviting European public as well as private investors and financial institutions to commit to certain diversity goals voluntary such as implementing gender equality, diversity and inclusion policies as well as measuring and tracking gender representation and publish the data annually.
A gender-conscious investor network at Union level can at the same time focus on and be able to help break down the many barriers that exist between industries with either a very high percentage or a very low percentage of women. This is particularly the case with regard to investor and finance positions where women are underrepresented, which is a challenge for the entrepreneurial ecosystem because several studies show that investment managers tend to provide capital and to hire those who are similar to themselves.
The network shall inspire, increase knowledge of facts and enable the sharing of best practices regarding preventing and closing the gender investment gap as well as provide women-led companies with relevant connections, networks and funding opportunities in collaboration with other networks such as WEgate.
Through raising awareness and promoting increased participation of women in the investment decision-making, it will also contribute to achieving the gender diversity target set up under InvestEU (at least 25% of funds supported by InvestEU should have women in decision making).
Moreover, it can contribute to make it easier for women entrepreneurs to find the right investors who target women's and diverse teams' business ideas, which would create additional value through cross-border and cross-industry relations and initiatives.

Restrictive measures (sanctions) are an essential tool for the promotion of the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Their objectives include safeguarding the Union’s values, maintaining international peace and security, consolidating and supporting democracy, the rule of law and human rights. The sanctions remain the main instrument in the Union’s toolbox to deter, prevent and condemn aggressive and illiberal behaviour of the third countries. While having their diplomatic and economic impact on the targeted regimes, they also represent an extra effort for the national Member States’ administrations, which do not all have the same capacities to address the challenges of sanction enforcement. Considering that the lack of sanction implementation, as well as inconsistencies across different jurisdictions of the Union, also represent a risk to Union financial interests and to the national financial systems, it is important to make sure that the Union sanctions are implemented equally across the Union. This is particularly relevant for the implementation of the Union sanctions against Russia, which have been subsequently adopted starting from 2014. The Seize and Freeze Task Force, established with the cooperation of various Directorates General of the Commission is an important configuration to oversee sanction implementation. However, the challenge lies in the fact that sanctions need to be uniformly implemented in 27 Member States’ configurations of multiple national competent authorities.
In order to curb circumvention of Union sanctions and assist the Member States in their sanction implementation tasks, this pilot project concerns a study on the best practices and synergies that would benefit the Union’s sanction policy, taking stock of the examples of the United States’ Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the United Kingdom sanctions enforcement authority (OFSI). Being centralised bodies which oversee and facilitate sanction implementation in the entirety of their respective jurisdictions, the examples of OFAC and OFSI could be instrumental for better sanction enforcement throughout the Union. In addition, the study should concentrate on the function of the existing configurations of sanction enforcement bodies within each Member State. This would help to identify similarities, disparities, best practices and missing elements across all the jurisdictions of the Union.
Considering that each Member State nominates a very different set and number of national authorities for the enforcement of Union sanctions (currently at least 160 officially designated), it would be useful to see to what extent having a centralised sanction implementation body would benefit Union sanction implementation, as compared to a network of scattered national bodies. Such a study would help to identify a way for reducing ‘avoidable’ sanction evasion, namely in terms of asset freeze and confiscation and visa and travel bans.
Another necessary contribution of the study would lie in comparison between the budgetary resources dedicated to sanction enforcement in the existing Union sanction framework and the resources available in OFAC and OFSI. This comparative analysis would help to estimate necessary increases in the budgetary lines related to the enforcement of Union sanctions.
Based on these findings the study could outline the added value of having a centralised approach to sanction enforcement with the help of a dedicated institution. The results of the study could hence serve as a basis for the possible creation and functioning of a future Union’s sanction implementation body. The study should also outline the modalities of cooperation with OFAC and OFSI in the current conditions and in the perspective of the establishment of a sanction implementation body.
The study would also identify the ways to optimise and reduce the administrative and financial costs of sanction implementation.
In the current context, where it is estimated that Russian resources would allow Russia to wage the war for several more years, it is a matter of urgency to make the adopted Union sanctions be applied to their maximum extent and prevent any sanction evasion attempt. This urgency applies to a various extent also to other thematic and country-based sanctions adopted by the Union.

The development of ESRSs should take into account the objective of facilitating their implementation from the outset. The pilot project aims to enhance the due process of developing sustainability reporting standards with this objective in mind.
This requires the active contribution of experts and stakeholders from the ground, including companies’ customers, suppliers, investors, civil society, social partners, and trade unions, in the development of ESRSs. The pilot project should test innovative actions to first mobilise them through awareness raising, support them through information and education, and then involve them in the preparation of draft ESRSs. The aim is to achieve a balanced representation of different sources of expertise and a broad geographical balance. Particular challenges that companies have in applying ESRSs should be identified and addressed. New engagement possibilities in the ongoing development of ESRSs should already be provided as part of the pilot project.

Enabling the effective and efficient substitution of hazardous substances with safer alternatives is an integral part of the Union’s regulations on chemical substances and key to achieving Union’s ambitious goals to prevent pollution, protect biodiversity, and safeguard the climate, including the objectives of the Commission communication of 14 October 2020 entitled 'Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability' (COM(2020) 667 final) to better protect health and the environment by moving towards chemicals that are safe and sustainable by design, phasing-out the use of substances of very high concern (SVHCs) and supporting the Commission communication of 3 February 2021 entitled 'Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan' (COM (2021) 44 final) by minimising exposure to carcinogens.
While tremendously inspiring and influential, Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC and 2000/21/EC (
OJ L 396, 30.12.2006, p. 1
) and other Union regulations have not yet enabled the broad, systematic substitution of hazardous substances with safer chemicals and non-chemical alternatives. There is a need to help all businesses and value chains in their substitution journey to ensure Union legislation can achieve intended objectives.
Enabling substitution by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a particularly acute need, given their more limited access to technical and financial resources for substitution in comparison with larger entities. Without access to the right technical assistance, companies struggle with substitution, leading to frustrating cases of ‘regrettable substitution,’ where a chemical user substitutes one hazard for the same or a different hazardous property, such as replacing a neurotoxin with a carcinogen. In addition to better supporting SMEs with substitution, there is a glaring need to assist businesses located in toxic pollution hot-spots and countries with less access to technical and financial resources if we are to advance principles of equity and equality, and to create a level-playing field.
Despite an unimpressive record of chemical regulation at national level, in the United States a handful of states have successfully supported substitution. Massachusetts provides arguably the most compelling model for enabling the substitution of hazardous chemicals. In 1989 the Massachusetts legislature created a ground-breaking institution to help enable the substitution of toxic chemicals with safer alternatives – the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI). Based at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, TURI’s staff have successfully helped companies, particularly SMEs, to substitute hazardous chemicals with safer alternatives through collaboration and innovation, including research, direct technical and financial assistance, and a focus on finding alternatives that meet a user’s performance and fiscal constraints.
The results from Massachusetts are noteworthy. From 2000 to 2020, Massachusetts companies reduced toxic chemical use by 75 %, waste by 67 % and releases by 91 %. Reductions in the use of specific toxic chemicals have been even more remarkable. For example, from 1990 to 2020, the use and release of a known carcinogen (trichloroethylene or TCE) was reduced by 95 % and 97 %, respectively.
This pilot project would demonstrate the feasibility of a European substitution centre modelled after TURI to accelerate the substitution of toxic chemicals with safer alternatives. One or more SVHCs should be identified for which safer alternatives could be adopted by businesses in the Union, in particular SMEs. TURI has a long-track record supporting substitution of solvents and surfactants by various industries. In addition, there is the experience of the Substitution Support Portal (SUBSPORT) and various national substitution centres in the Union. We propose to draw on this experience to help enable a transition away from known and suspected hazardous substances to less-toxic alternatives in key industries and sectors, such as the textile and dry-cleaning industries.
This proof of concept would provide useful data points for the ongoing deliberations surrounding key Union policy objectives and legislation, such as the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, the safe and sustainable by design policy and revision of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. It may foster the creation of a Union-wide substitution centre network to aid companies using SVHCs to find and adopt safer and more sustainable alternatives.

Handicraft products play an important role in the development of regional and local tourism. It is therefore necessary to have a pilot project that supports craftsmen from the entire Union, regardless of the Member State they are from, in the purchase of the necessary materials and in the process of creating traditional handicraft products. Such an industry will implicitly attract tourists to the areas concerned and will produce economic growth.
The promotion of handicraft products such as folk clothing, handmade fabrics items, pottery, porcelain, clay, ceramics, carved in wood and stone products, handmade products and various traditional jams contributes not only to the preservation of European values, but also to the creation of jobs, the development of societies and the attraction of investments. The pilot project will provide financial incentives to craftsmen to encourage them to carry on the tradition and continue to manufacture products with protected geographical indication.
In addition, the pilot project will determine young craftsmen, such as potters, stone and wood carvers, folk craftsmen, among others, to launch and start creating traditional products and will create new opportunities to collaborate with other craftsmen with whom they have similarities from other regions of the Union. The pilot project may also lead to increased social cohesion and the development of poorer areas in the Union.

The EU Space Programme components strengthens the capacity of the Union to act in all phases of disaster risk management. Within the disaster risk management cycle, applications utilising satellite data are not always considered by the end users. In particular during the phases of prevention and recovery, satellite applications have not been fully exploited. The approach on utilisation of Union space data for disaster management is scattered and varies significantly across the Union. The need of a Union Disaster Management Plan is evident in order to:
—
make society more resilient and to decrease its exposure to the consequences of both natural and man-made disasters;
—
increase the understanding of disasters, but also to better preparedness, and post-disaster response and recovery;
—
provide a coherent approach for disaster management across the Union, utilising space based applications.
The following main use cases within an EU Disaster Management Plan have been identified:
—
use of Galileo’s new authentication feature (OSNMA) which is a new, breakthrough feature of Europe’s positioning system that improves the trustworthiness of GNSS signals. This service provides an authentication mechanism to allow open service users to verify that the navigation data received come from Galileo and have not been modified in any way. This service mitigates current threats to GNSS service such as signal falsification (i.e. spoofing) or disruption (via jamming) which can have disastrous impacts on users or applications;
—
operation and deployment of Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service (EWSS), an on-demand broadcast of alert and associated guidance, which targets areas encoded in satellites message that can reach the affected population within minutes. This service is global, free-of-charge and unaffected by ground destruction. It is an independent of terrestrial mobile networks, resilient to ground destruction, complementary to existing systems and covers various types of hazards;
—
use of secure SATCOM (GOVSATCOM/IRIS2 services adoption), as civil protection has been identified as one of the main user communities, since terrestrial telecommunications are typically not available in disasters;
—
certification and use of Copernicus images acquired by sentinels and/or contributing missions for map production for geospatial intelligence and decision-making support;
—
exploitation and communication, when necessary, of the successful operations of Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS), leveraging its well-established procedures, as lessons learnt to underpin awareness and user uptake in all the Union Space Programme components.
Barriers for the uptake of space-based solutions for an EU disaster management plan
—
Regulatory and procedural challenges for the wide adoption of satellite-based solutions for disaster management are the main challenges as there is lack of coherence across the Union on a governance, policy, legislative and regulatory framework, as well as a lack of accredited space-based products and services.
—
Technical challenges in the adoption of satellite-based solutions, because of the difficulty in translating user needs into technical specifications and lack of appropriate infrastructure, and difficulty in understanding the technical use of the service.
—
The need for standards to guide industry (e.g. receiver manufacturers, platform integrators) in production and certification of user terminals that make use of the services mentioned above.
—
The need to develop best practices and training material that can assist in the integration of OSNMA and/or EWSS in the user equipment and in mass-market.
—
Economic challenges with reference to the costs of the data or solution.
—
Low level of involvement of the private sector in the provision of essential services to civil protection and public authorities, resulting in less uptake of satellite applications for disaster risk management.
—
Need for more awareness in the public sector on the potential for Galileo, Copernicus and GOVSATCOM services, as well as integrated space-based applications to support decision making and policy and regulatory development.
The pilot project shall be focused on:
—
the identification and analysis of the technical and regulatory barriers (e.g. lack of updated and new standards and regulatory framework), industry value chain and new business models that could emerge in supporting an EU disaster management plan;
—
definition of a roadmap at both at national and Union level to smoothen the integration path of satellite-based services – finding methods to improve accessibility to satellite-based services for disaster management;
—
training national civil protection authorities on the use of Union space components with the aim of promoting them and to integrate them into their local emergency procedures; promoting a mindset that would consider the use of the new space features for an EU disaster management plan and how private companies can provide essential services to civil protection and public authorities; supporting the governmental approach towards the digitalisation of services;
—
contribution to draft new standards as means of certification defining (1) minimum operational requirements for the use of new Galileo features such as OSNMA, EWSS and Copernicus EMS and (2) the necessary tests required to verify the performance compliance in support of future Union regulatory initiatives for an EU disaster management plan.

Antennas are a key element of satellites which enable them to collect and transmit data: they are of interest in all types of satellites, including military, civil, observation and telecommunications satellites, with possible deployment in sectors other than the space sector.
Major issues for deployable antennas are (i) the amount of materials needed including materials in respect of which Europe does not have an autonomous value chains, (ii) the energy-demanding manufacturing mode of their structure in a time of both high energy prices and environmental transition, and therefore (iii) their high production costs.
Therefore, this pilot project will focus research on the material reduction, use of recyclable materials and industrial prototyping, also considering the potential for on-orbit reusability and recycling at a later stage.

In order to provide guaranteed and on-demand access to space at any time for European usage, a Union system that can provide responsive access to space is required.
A small launch vehicle can offer this service ideally for defence and security reasons with mobile launch sites where necessary. This is of strategic interest and increases the market for companies for access to space. Satellite operators are constrained by launch opportunities and are using more and more United States’ offerings. To preserve and reinforce autonomous Union access to space, it is crucial to return European institutional and commercial customers to the Union launch service market. This can be realised with a responsive, flexible and dedicated offering. There are only a few developments in the Union with regard to the implementation of responsive access to space capability with disruptive technology. Those developments need to be supported in order to catch up with other nations.
The implementation of such a capability of Union responsive launch systems needs to be analysed and its impact on the market for access to space must be investigated.
This pilot project concerns a study that should identify the need for Union responsive space systems, including for security and defence purposes, in order to stimulate the launch service demand and better guide the offer. In addition, the study shall map the potential role of commercial and institutional stakeholders that would benefit from such a service and envisage future potential dedicated Union space initiative for security and defence, as well as associated objectives and deployment framework.

Access to space is an essential enabler and indispensable element of the space ecosystem, without which there is no space policy. As recalled in the Commission communication of 10 March 2023 entitled ‘European Union Space Strategy for Security and Defence’ (JOIN(2023) 9 final), it is essential to ensure the deployment and resilience of Europe’s sovereign space infrastructure, including for the launch of futures satellites and constellations, replenishment, replacement and upgrade of space components.
The Union is currently lacking autonomous launch capacity it needs to implement the Union Space Programmes and other initiatives. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has exacerbated the current situation in Europe and reinforced the need to stimulate the resilience, responsiveness and versatility of European access to space.
To address this challenge and in line with the action proposed in the European Union Space Strategy for Security and Defence, this pilot project concerns a study that would bring its contribution to a common vision beyond 2030, with a view to increasing the resilience of Union space infrastructures through autonomous Union access to space. Such a vision should support the Union level of ambition in access to space and prepare for new actions in the next MFF.
The pilot project will be implemented through a two-step approach:
1. Parallel industrial concept studies (up to three):
—
each study shall present a concept for autonomous, responsive and versatile Union access to space which responds to accessible market (institutional and commercial), including for European security and defence;
—
the outcome for each proposed concept shall be a high-level technology roadmap for both the ground and space segments.
2. Master report for a shared concept:
—
a new study shall analyse the initial industrial concepts and make a single synthesis to identify common needs and to provide recommendations towards a consensual vision (beyond 2030) with an associated technology roadmap for autonomous, responsive and versatile of Union access to space.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.
About 20 rivers and streams flow through the City of Łódź (Poland), but they are mostly hidden in underground channels. For several years, the city authorities have been taking steps to restore and bring them to the surface, and one of these ambitious projects concerns the Lamus River, which flows through historic parks established in the 19th century as palace gardens of Łódź factory owners, founders of the Łódź "Promised Land".
The pilot project will consist of restoring the Lamus River, removing it from the sewage system and exposing it in space as well as using rainwater and snowmelt from nearby properties and roofs to supply the Lamus River. In addition, it is planned to irrigate the greenery in the parks and directing rainwater to the valley of the Jasień River in order to fill the retention pond with it. Furthermore, the project will include elements of rainwater treatment (e.g. with the use of a sequential sedimentation and biofiltration system) and monitoring of the level of soil moisture and groundwater level (through specialised soil moisture sensors). The pilot project will use prototypes of PARO bollards, which are an innovative solution in the field of water microretention.
The pilot project will be very comprehensive and will take into account the problems of small retention, groundwater level, the presence of water in the city landscape. The aim of the pilot project will be to properly channel rainwater and snowmelt to solve current problems related to water shortage and periodic excess, resulting in flash floods and drying up of trees in the parks (caused by the lowering of groundwater levels due to the construction of an underground station and railway track), the need to artificially fill the river reservoirs existing in the valleys, once fully supplied with water from Łódź rivers.
Along with the restoration of river body, recreational and educational boulevards will be created. The concept of revalorisation of the parks along with the river will be developed with the participation of citizens and for citizens, while maintaining the historical heritage of parks that are historical monuments. As part of the work, retention basin with stagnant water and aquatic vegetation will be created. The pilot project will make full use of the possibilities of using unsealed surfaces, allowing for infiltration of rainwater.
The area of parks along the Lamus River will be the centre of ecological workshops and of the promotion of the green transformation. There will be an opportunity to experience the activities of the European Green Deal and the activity of the European Parliament. The riverbed and the adjacent green areas will be converted into an educational trail that will be the focal point of future educational projects.
Restoration of the river, which had a direct impact on the creation of the Łódź "Promised Land", would be an excellent element of strengthening historical awareness and local identity, and at the same time fits in with the goals of the climate policy of European Green Deal. Since Łódź is poor in naturally flowing watercourses, the restoration of the river may have a positive effect on the city ecosystem, and contribute to the creation of a new unique tourist attraction. The implementation of the project will create European added value in terms of actions to solve a significant environmental problem and innovation.
Łódź, as a participant in the Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, sets one of its main goals to exchange thoughts, experiences and successes in the field of green transition. The experience of many European cities is already being shared as part of innovative projects from the Horizon Programme. The problem of restoration of the river is present in many European cities where rivers have been channelled or concreted. The innovative system of water retention and drainage of excess water offer a solution to the problems of all cities with problems with periodic flooding and droughts, which is characteristic especially for the highly variable climate of central and eastern Europe, where there are heat waves, heavy snowfall and heavy rains. The results of the analyses carried out on the implemented innovative solutions in the field of monitoring of soil moisture or microretention will serve as a tool for designing similar solutions in other parts of the city. Furthermore, by implementing the assumptions of the Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, an innovative and comprehensive concept of urban biodiversity development will be made available to all local governments in Europe.
The area of the investment implementation covers 60 hectares of land in the city centre, partially includes historical areas located in the area of the City Centre Revitalisation Project. The innovative nature of the planned solutions and the historic character of a large part of the area covered by the project mean that the costs cannot be significantly reduced.
The pilot project is being developed with the participation of scientists from the European Regional Centre for Ecohydrology which under the auspices of UNESCO has grown out of the International Center for Ecology (ICE). The cost estimate was based on analyses by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Chapman Taylor Architects.

A functioning public sphere is essential for every democracy. Currently, however, a few powerful corporations based outside Europe dominate the digital public sphere in Europe.
The pilot project ‘Citizen-facing European TV and Video News Portal’ aims to contribute to a functioning public sphere, which uniquely equips citizens with a Europe-wide accessible video streaming platform and single access point for high-quality news and documentaries - in line with European values and necessary to participate in European democracy, across borders and in their own Member State.
For this purpose, it will create a single streaming platform for TV and video news content, directly accessible to European audiences and citizens, allowing them to search all content provided by public and private registered media in Member States and providing translated subtitles in all Union languages of that news and those documentaries. The Citizen-facing European TV and Video News Portal will not be a TV station, but a neutral platform in the fundamental sense of the word. Therefore, it will not provide editorial services and will be purely infrastructure and technology oriented, as the content to be streamed on the Portal will be provided by the rich and varied own productions of news and documentaries from the many registered media in the Member States. For this purpose, it will seek to establish a technology alliance and a content alliance among interested media actors in Member States. While there is a number of Union actions aimed at enhancing editorial capacities and content-creation, this pilot project seeks to address another angle. The Portal will face citizens and be neutral in the sense that it will not take any editorial decisions on content provided by Member State public and private accredited media. User-generated and independent producers’ content will be available on the platform from the outset, insofar as such content has previously been transmitted by public or private accredited media in the Union. As a second stage, procedures and rules should be designed and tested to enable content from independent creators and user-generated content (UGC) to be directly added to the Portal, while maintaining the principle that no editorial control is carried out by the Portal. This principle is key to ensuring the Portal’s quality, reliability and independence, as well as its neutrality. Accredited Content will only be excluded from transmission over the Portal if it does not comply with the principles relating to Union values and the necessary mechanisms to safeguard content independence will be put in place.
The Portal should only provide the infrastructure and technology necessary for content aggregation, discovery and search with a recommendation system functioning in line with democratic and European values of the Treaties, a system for automatic translation and a streaming service, thereby providing a pluralistic view of content. The recommendation system will therefore not aim to maximise viewing time using ever-increasing scandalisation, or base its recommendations entirely on prior interest and behavioural profiles of viewers, as in advertisement-financed streaming services. It will play out content strictly based on search words used by citizens and related word meanings, and this across all languages, thus in all cases providing a diverse picture of the news.
All the necessary technologies for the realisation of this project are available and merely need to be brought together and integrated into one system. It is thus feasible to realise this important additional step towards this vital element of European integration and democracy. There will only be a sustainable European democracy in the age of digitalisation if a European public sphere can be established, which offers verified information and different perspectives on current events to all citizens across language and cultural borders. In a real and sustainable European public sphere citizens of smaller countries and language groups or living in Member States with less variety or less independence of media must also have full access to the diversity of TV and video news information and documentation that has been produced in Europe by accredited media, often financed from public funds.
This pilot project will address the need to be eventually organised in the form of a legal person, not controlled by Member States or Union institutions or by profit objectives, but providing an independent public service with public financing.
The Citizen-facing European TV and Video News Portal is an unprecedented idea, as there is currently no digital streaming platform in the form of a single point of access to the vast diversity of European cultural goods in the form of TV and video news and political documentaries based on a fair recommender system and standards designed in line with European rights and values. The Portal will make the rich cultural and democratic mix of public and private television and video news and documentary production by accredited media in all Member States accessible to all Union citizens. It will be an infrastructure-based building block on the path to creating a functioning European digital public sphere and add to other existing projects, address the lack of a public sphere where common European issues are contested and be a chance to drive forward European integration and democracy.
This project is congruent with existing plans of the Commission, yet the does not seek to enhance contributors’ editorial capabilities. The Portal will stand in synergy to other Union projects which enhance the ability of European news producers to create content such as the European media platforms and the data space for media.
However, this proposal will exclusively focus on infrastructure and technology allowing direct access of citizens to a variety of existing content, not on producing new content.
This pilot project will explore potential synergies in terms of data sharing and exchange with the media data space.
The Portal needs to provide a high bandwidth and low latency HQ video and can be implemented in several phases. For the first year, identifying, including by means of a feasibility study, the necessary technological and infrastructure requirements and specifications that would be needed, the design of the recommended blueprint and the future financing needs, will have to be a priority. It will also be necessary to design the legal structure to govern the future platform and to start building an alliance of private and public accredited media in Member States willing to contribute their content. In the second year, a first demonstrator shall be designed on that basis and further contributors shall be invited to join the Portal.

Can the 4-day work week address some of the most urgent problems in the 21st-century world of work?’ This was the question raised during a panel discussion in Davos on 19 January 2023. Among other advantages put forward, the Dutch Minister of Labour, Karien van Gennip, explained that rather than most women working three days and most men five days [in the Netherlands], a 4-day week would likely provide a better balance. Bloomberg emphasised the panel's conclusion under the terms ‘the 4-Day Week may be the recipe to avoid burnout and boost productivity’. In 2021, the Spanish government decided to launch an experiment with volunteer companies to test the effect on job creation, quality of life and productivity when switching to a 4-day work week. Spain is not an exception: the debate is rising in several countries that are facing both recruitment difficulties in many sectors and the persistence of mass unemployment.
The aim of this pilot project is thus to collect data on concrete experiences of working time reduction and reorganisation in order to evaluate their advantages as well as disadvantages and make this data available to social partners.
There should be an adequate balance between the funding of research activities under the pilot project and the funding of communication activities.
The research funding should allow for a detailed literature review on the economic, social and environmental impacts of working time reduction. The funding for communication activities and events will not be higher than for research activities and allocating sufficient means for quality research is a priority. The top up will allow for substantial additional budget for research activities and possibly for additional research deliverables, if the findings identify a need for additional deliverables.
As the ‘4-day week’ can mean substantially different policies and practices, the pilot project will look at different models of practices and policies, clearly differentiating different models such as the following: (1) a 4-day week with substantial reduction of working hours (for instance, 32 hours per week where the average is 38 hours as was done in France with the ‘loi Robien’ in 1997), with jobs creation and reduction of individual output targets, (2) a 4-day week with substantial reduction of working hours but no reduction of individual output targets and no purpose of job creation (as has been done in most of the 4-day week trials conducted in Ireland and Spain in recent years), and (3) to a lesser extent, as these do not really constitute ‘working time reduction’ policies per se, a 4-day week without a substantial reduction of working hours (for instance government policies and trials recently conducted in Belgium and France).
The communication activities under the pilot project will adequately represent the research findings, such as the expected magnitude of the impacts of working time reduction on economic and social outcomes. They will be focused on the advantages and potential disadvantages of the different types of policies of working time reduction and 4-day week, based on the findings of the research under the pilot project.
Moreover, the panorama of the different practices and the in-depth mapping of government policies that influence the working time reduction practices of companies and the different legal frameworks in each Member State will lead to the formulation of advice for the implementation of innovative working time organisations, both for social partners and policy makers.
The objectives pursued by the companies that have experimented a new working time organisation are very varied:
—
a better work/life balance,
—
facilitating recruitment in sectors that experience difficulties to recruit,
—
improving working conditions,
—
improving the health of employees and diminishing their stress,
—
facilitating longer careers,
—
creating new jobs,
—
rejuvenating the age pyramid in the company,
—
implementing qualifying organisations and increasing the responsibilities of all workers (given that managers them too would generally work less, it gives the opportunity to all workers to increase their responsibilities),
—
improving access to lifelong learning (particularly in SMEs),
—
increasing the use of the most expensive machines as well as increasing the hourly amplitude of opening times for customers.
The first year of the pilot project, in 2023, should have produced the results for 12 to 15 case studies. For the next steps of the pilot project, the number of case studies should be increased. This would allow for an adequate number of additional case studies to be implemented in order to ensure the representativeness of the research. The representativeness of the research could be ensured by including company case studies across different Member States, sectors and firm sizes, providing substance for social partners that could be useful to nurture social dialogue, if they wish to include it in future negotiations.
What is the outcome of these experiences? What were their successes? What were their failures?
This pilot project will lead to the creation of a comprehensive assessment of experiments concerning new working time organisations as well as to the mapping of the different practices and the different existing legal frameworks of working time organisation in all Member States. In some countries, this subject can sometimes give rise to social tensions. This assessment, based on concrete experiences in a wide range of sectors (SMEs and large companies, public and private, social economy, etc.), could if appropriate nurture a pragmatic and soothing dialogue between employers, employees and other stakeholders. Indeed, a particular attention should be paid to the effects of new working time organisations in a context of challenging global competitiveness for European economies. Analysing the results of 4-day work week experiments will also help the Union strengthen the Eighth principle of the European Pillar of Social Rights: Social dialogue and involvement of workers, depending of course if social partners would want to include those findings in their priorities.
The evaluation will be presented to social partners as well as decision-makers in order to be made available for social dialogue in different educational materials: the report and its summary, infographics and leaflets as well as videos, podcasts, etc. The communication activities should rely on the research undertaken within the framework of the pilot project. The interim findings of the pilot project, based on the ongoing work, will already be published during 2024 and the final outputs also benefiting from the substantial requested top-up funding and the additional case study research will be concluded in 2025 or 2026.
The impact of this pilot project will be measured by the quality of the research findings, e.g. the quality of the case study evidence, the further research activities feeding into the final research report, the quality of the final report, and the quality of the communication materials informed by this research, and sufficient means will be dedicated to ensuring a that a wide audience will be reached by these various research findings and the educational materials produced based on the findings. In order to make findings available for social partners, policymakers and the public debate all over Europe, it is crucial that the budget devoted to communicating the results of the report in the most accessible way to the wider public, and to these specific targets, is adequately funded.
The budget of the top-up should of course also be devoted to fund the costs of publishing of the research outcomes in the form of a final research report.
In order to feed in the final report and confront the results of the research to the experience of a variety of stakeholders, discussions of the draft research findings based on the case study evidence will be organised with different stakeholders (e.g. employers, workers, trade unionists, decision-makers, academics). Different discussions with different thematic focuses should take place in different Member States, so that as many local/national specific contexts as possible can be covered. Distinct aspects of the topic can be the focus of these distinct events in different Member States, for instance the impacts on gender equality, on lifelong learning, on workers (mental) health, sick leaves, resignation rates etc.
In 2021, a European Platform on Combatting Homelessness was initiated by the Commission and the Portuguese Presidency in order to support permanent exchanges between policy makers and social actors to disseminate and promote good practice, to raise awareness of Union funding opportunities and to publicise progress made. Similarly, in 2025 or 2026, this pilot project should make it possible to reflect on the potential benefits of creating (or not) a European platform dedicated to new working time organisations that aim to foster the movement towards full employment, the fight against precariousness and permanent access to training and well-being of workers. A concrete deliverable for this first step towards a potential new European platform could be an ‘options note’ exploring the possible scope and types of activities that a hypothetical platform could conduct.
This will be complementary to possible additional deliverables coming out of the research activities.

The aim of this pilot project is to create a sport emergency programmes in the context of humanitarian crisis such as war in order to facilitate overcoming traumas, adapting to new environments and creating bonds with the temporary hosting communities.
Through sport activities and interventions, this pilot project will focus on encouraging community integration of children and youth. By improving their mental well-being by attending sport sessions, individuals will eventually become ready to adjust to their new environment. Sport with its power of bringing people together will help with interaction with the host community, easier integration into the education system or entering the labour market.
To achieve the best results those programmes should be organised at the local, grassroots level, mainly through grassroots sports clubs. Activities, games and sports must be designed in order to meet specific social and psychosocial goals. They need to be age appropriate, culturally appropriate and be considered in respect to the gender roles in the community. Building on the existing physical capacities of participants experienced coaches will help them to feel comfortable by encouraging to perform skills that they already know. Therefore, cooperation between grassroots sports clubs and centres that could offer social, psychological or pedagogical support would be important and required. This project would also involve, mainly as facilitators, sport federations. In addition, the purpose of this proposal is to inspire other sport clubs to set up support programmes by publishing and promoting experiences and good practices.
The main focus group are children and young people affected by humanitarian crises and mass migration processes in the context of war. This pilot project would also generate inclusion in the public space and promote the exchange of cultures and traditions of different ethnic groups.

Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war in Ukraine, the following eradication of independent media inside Russia, and the wider geopolitical situation at our boarders, including Belarus' total dismantling of independent media in the last few years, provide a unique opportunity and responsibility for the Union to take leadership for safeguarding media plurality and independence in the wider regional context.
Despite external and internal challenges in the area of press freedom, the Union remains the safest place in the world for media and journalists to do their work. Given that freedom of expression is one of the fundamental values of the Union, the Union has the chance to become a major hub for those striving for freedom of expression and democracy.
Independent journalists and entire editorial newsrooms from Russia and Belarus have already fled or are relocating to European Union countries. They are hoping to continue their work in the fight for democracy of their home countries, but from a safe area within the Union, where they are not at risk of brutal repressions, reprisals and imminent imprisonment for telling the truth. At the same time, we need to support Ukrainian media and their staff who have come to the Union together with the growing number of war refugees from Ukraine.
These media organisations face an immediate lack of resources to continue their activities, but also the challenges of establishing viable business models in the face of increasing closure and constraints in the Russian-Belarusian information and physical space, as well as a general decline in people's purchasing power as a result of the war. Unlike emergency solutions, where like-minded partners play a major role in solving acute financial and resource problems of media relocating to the Union in a matter of first months, this pilot project aims to offer a predictable support mechanism that provides core support, opportunities for innovation and development in the longer term.
The goal of the pilot project is to promote the preservation of a pluralistic media environment of the countries affected, also whilst journalists and media are working from an exile. The broader aim is to make Europe a safer place by helping the peoples of these countries in their democratic aspirations, where independent media play an indispensable role.
The pilot project aims to explore precise support needs and subsequently provide appropriate support for independent media and journalists from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus that have relocated and are working from the Member States by:
—
researching and mapping the needs and challenges of independent newsrooms and professional journalists who have relocated their operations;
—
establishing support networks in several Member States, in order to provide tailored and adjusted support to the exile newsrooms and journalists. Overall, the support would focus on helping to introduce viable business models and innovative technical and content format solutions in order to reach audiences (including those with possibly limited access to the internet and other resources), as well as seek for synergies and promote sharing of best practice and networking (in particularly among exile media) while ensuring media independence and fostering plurality.

This feasibility study paves the way to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the Union financial sanctions adopted against persons and entities linked to the Kremlin. The study will deliver a legal analysis of national and Union legislative frameworks to explore at what degree the legislation of the Union and Member States is coherent and fit for implementing the policy cycle of sanction-related asset recovery. The study will cover such aspects as sanction adoption, asset freeze, assets confiscation, reintroduction of the confiscated assets into national economy for social use, as well as into the Union budget for public spending in Ukraine. In the context of this research, assets means any monetisable ownership of sanctioned Russian oligarchs and business elites, such as bank accounts, cryptocurrencies, real estate, luxury property including yachts, works of art, diamonds, gold. The study will also look into Russian sovereign assets. By ‘social use’ is to mean financing by Member States of all actions related to the protection of Ukrainian refugees they host, such as administrative procedures, social housing, transport, schooling, medical insurance, as well as any possible re-use to finance Union humanitarian and development aid in Ukraine or, more generally, Ukraine’s rebuilding and reconstruction.
The study will analyse the design, scope, and challenges for such a Union-wide action aiming at reintroducing confiscated assets into the public use. For this purpose, it will suggest legal ways to establish the connection between the property owned by sanctioned individuals and entities on one side and the crime they have committed on the other side. The relation established between the crime and the property placed in the Union’s internal market shall serve as a legal basis for new legislative mechanism, based on the findings of the study.
The results of the study shall inform national law-making and may afterwards feed into a future Union policy initiative. Such link between the illegally-gained asset and the crime of Russia's attack on Ukraine can also serve as a basis for the implementation of other sanctions adopted in relation to other third-country individuals and entities.
The recovery and reuse of the assets that have been frozen as a result of Union sanctions adopted following Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine will serve multiple goals and objectives of the Union. Firstly, it will allow efficient implementation of the Union’s sanctions regime, going beyond symbolic adoption. Secondly, it will boost public resources of the Member States hosting large communities of Ukrainian refugees. Thirdly, it could allow to direct a portion of the recovered assets into the Union budget for the financing of Ukraine’s reconstruction, serving de facto as a resource for Rebuild Ukraine Fund. Such Fund can also include, apart from recovered assets, also Union's budgetary resources, Russia's reparations and various donations. Fourth, it will ease the burden of financing the expenditures resulting from Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the burden currently shared by the Union and the Member States. Fifth, this will enhance the geopolitical potential of Union sanctions and serve as a dissuasive measure for other third-country asset owners, who are not on the sanction list, but who might be subject to sanctions should they engage in activities violating human rights and democracy principles.
As a result, this study will indicate legal pathways within the existing Union legal framework for effective asset recovery in a defined number of cases, such as unprovoked military aggression. Ultimately, the policy actions based on this study will contribute to strengthening of Union values, reinforcing the rule of law and end of impunity.

In light of Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, countless war crimes and the deadly attacks on Ukrainian hospitals, maternity wards, nuclear facilities, women and children, one fact is clear to many: if only Russians could see the truth about what is happening, then things might be different.
Russian independent media have shown great resilience since relocating to the Union and neighbouring countries. The figures highlight their ability to continuously reach audiences. Internet transmissions can sometimes penetrate the Kremlin's firewall, but can also easily be blocked, as is usually the case when they attain a level of success. Since the beginning of the war, Russia's communications watchdog Roskomnadzor has blocked or deleted more than 138 000 websites, including BBC's World Service. YouTube and Telegram are now widely used to communicate alternative news in Russia, but these channels can be easily blocked by the government. Thus, it is important to have alternative forms of communications outside of internet-based options.
Television represents the most effective means of Russian propaganda. Many of the broadcasts promote criminal ideas such as genocide of the Ukrainian people, the assassination of Western politicians, the normalisation of nuclear war, the murder of Ukrainian children, and more. Polls indicate that 69 % of Russians prefer to get their news via traditional broadcast channels, and tend to watch television constantly. There is currently no meaningful broadcast platform for pluralistic voices to be heard in Russia. 41% of Russian households use satellite as their main form of television reception. That number is expected to grow to 48 % by 2025 (Omdia 2021).
Satellite television distribution is the weak point in the Kremlin's media lockdown, and it has yet to be effectively exploited for alternative messaging. As evidenced by research by the Denis Diderot Committee, many satellites over Russia are owned by Western companies, including some of the most popular satellite positions. This capacity has created a captive audience for the video transmissions with the appropriate technical parameters and can be used to bring alternative messaging and opposition media to the Russian population.
This pilot project aims at providing access to a currently unavailable technical platform, television, which is the way most Russians prefer to watch news programmes. This can be done in two ways:
(i) bringing independent journalism content into traditional television channel format;
(ii) providing satellite broadcast of up to 25 new and existing channels (radio and television), into the Russian market.
Reporters sans frontières and its partner the Denis Diderot Committee have engaged in an extensive feasibility study, which led to confirming the technical possibility of dissemination of such content to Russian households. There is great interest from leading Russian independent journalism platforms including Meduza, Echo Moscow and Holod Media to bring their material to Russians. Furthermore, the German national broadcaster Deutsche Welle has confirmed their interest in creating a TV channel specifically using Russian language content. Other channels will follow. Satellite companies have indicated their interest in a broadcasting project and are ready to provide capacity.
This pilot project will help to ensure that these independent journalists working in exile will have the technical means to bring their work to the Russian audience via satellite television. It will create the technical means that these journalists can use to broadcast their content effectively into Russia. With the help of this pilot project, the content created not only by independent journalists but also international channels will be repackaged and delivered to Russian people, who live in a complete lack of access to pluralist information. This pilot project does not aim to create any content or financially support journalists.
There is a great potential of working together with the already ongoing pilot project PP 07 23 04 ‘The European Union – the media freedom hub’ that focuses on strengthening the financial and management capacities of independent Russian media. This pilot project is complementary thereto as it focuses on enabling technical capacities for dissemination of not only the content produced via media hubs, but also international news analysis in Russia.
Russia has weaponised its television distribution apparatus while the West has so far largely refrained from significant attempts to bring the access to free information to the Russian Federation. The project can provide hope and truth to millions of Russian people.

Food issues are at the heart of the transition to a more sustainable Union. Under the umbrella of the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork strategy emphasises that the transition to a healthy, sustainable and resilient food system will not happen without a change in the diets of citizens, who are increasingly concerned about environmental, sanitary, social and ethical issues and the value of their food. In this context, the promotion of organic food is an important tool. At national level, several Member States have set targets for the percentage of organic products in canteens, with the aim of encouraging local stakeholders to act.
Those initiatives lead to a transformation of practices in public canteens, especially at local level, and often have positive implications for the territories. However, they are characterised by great disparities between Member States due to differences in the functioning of structures, the distribution of competences, and the different levels of ambition of the experiments undertaken.
To date, there is no data that would allow us to measure these transitions in the field of collective catering, although this information would be useful for developing a common language and exchanging good practices between European territorial actors on these issues. This would allow not only the identification of the current blockages but also the levers, the tools and the possible roads towards a successful food transition.
For this purpose, the pilot project proposes a practical tool based on three axes:
(1) the establishment of a European observatory, as light as possible in order to quickly collect practices and emerging projects in the field of collective catering throughout the Union. That collection should identify blockages and facilitate the reading of the changes that are taking place in the territories that have chosen to integrate organic products in their canteens. It should allow for:
—

The decline of the number of farms can be observed particularly for small farms (below 2 ha). At the same time the number of larger farms (100 ha or more) increased, although the absolute number remains limited. Structural and organisational changes raise a number of questions about the design and implementation of the common agricultural policy (CAP) that need to be studied in the context of the CAP post 2027:
—
Which trends are observed in the different Member States and sectors in terms of farms structures, including peasant farms, type of agricultural employment, farms’ organisations taking also into account the age, gender and education, the level of capitalisation on the farms, in particular on mechanisation, digitalisation and the legal forms available in the Member States?
—
What influence had the CAP, through its different tools and measures, on the development of agricultural structures and organisations in Europe?
—
How can new ways of organising work and distributing capital help to meet (or fail to meet) the challenge of renewing the generations of farmers?
—
What adaptation/limitation in existing tools or new tools and what measures need to be put in place to support the identified ways to council farm’s economic objectives, generational renewal and protection of the family farming model and small-scale farming ("peasants")?
This pilot project aims to feed the overall reflection over the CAP, both in the context of its current implementation and in views of its revision after 2027.

Context
Climate change is forcing every economic sector to adapt and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The fishing sector must also make efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Moreover, the volatility and the increase of fossil fuel prices due to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine creates uncertainty and reduces the profitability of fishing companies. Fishing vessel fuel can no longer be based solely on fossil fuels. The Commission communication of 21 February 2023 on the energy transition of the EU fisheries and aquaculture sector (COM(2023) 100 final) states that it is ‘essential to promote the testing and scientific validation of new and existing technologies for their application in fisheries’ and also states that ‘the Commission will conduct an EU-wide study on the available technologies for the energy transition in the fisheries and aquaculture sector and their respective costs and benefits’. In this context, this pilot project developing a demonstrator fishing vessel which would test innovative propulsion technologies is relevant.
The European fishing fleet is aging; the energy performance of fishing vessels is not satisfactory. The financing of a demonstrator fishing vessel would allow the development of innovative propulsions technologies adapted to fishing. The aim is to test different hull design, propulsion technologies and energy used on board that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases compared to the means of propulsion used by fishers today and broaden the possibilities offered to fishers to save energy and initiate the energy transition of fishing vessels.
I. A demonstrator fishing vessel testing innovative propulsion technologies
The objective of this pilot project would be to finance the refit of a demonstrator fishing vessel based on an assessment of the feasibility and scope of the test and the allocated budget dedicated to this pilot project.
II. An assessment of the feasibility and scope of the test
An assessment of the feasibility and scope of the test will identify the characteristics of the fishing vessel (hull design, propulsion technologies and energy used on board).
That assessment will also identify the different type of tests needed on a retrofitted vessel.
Based on the feasibility assessment, tests will be carried out to determine the vessel’s energy savings, safety and environmental performance with different fishing gears and weather conditions.
III. Additional information
The aim of this pilot project is to test the compatibility of one or more means of propulsion that can significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption of the vessel with different types of fishing gears. It is up to the project manager (public or private entity) to propose the most appropriate combinations.
The pilot project should enable fishers to take part at all its stages and provide feedback. The Commission will also be able to follow the various stages of the tests. The project manager must propose a ‘raison d'être’ for the vessel once the objectives of the pilot project have been achieved, for example a travelling promotion of the results of the pilot project across European fishing ports or becoming a training vessel for young fishers across the Union.
Under no circumstances should this vessel be the means to increase fishing effort but only used for experiments. The legal status of the vessel may under no circumstances allow the landing of professional fishing products or its future transformation into a fishing vessel. When implementing this pilot project, the Commission will specify the requirements to avoid any possibility of the vessel being converted into a commercial fishing vessel.

Remarks
Unexploded munition dumped on the seabed poses an increasing concern in Europe and beyond, in particular in the inland and shelf seas. Tonnes of dangerous conventional munitions were dumped into Europe’s seas following the end of the world wars in the previous century, and today they pose a risk to marine life and seafarers. The dumped munition pose a threat to human life and the marine environment that endangers not only fishing and navigation but also the development of offshore energy, aquaculture, shipping, tourism and other sectors of the blue economy and deep-sea economic activities.
In the past year, the need to develop appropriate and most effective technologies has become even more urgent in light of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Aggressive actions carried out in the Black and Azov Seas will leave these waters filled with remains of sunken ships and missiles, dumped munitions and other hazards that will damage the underwater environment and will pose a threat to the coastal communities.
The Union has extensive experience in mine clearance across the world, with operations spanning the Balkans, Africa and Asia. For the European seas, the Union must draw on that experience and adapt accordingly, especially in the light of the current threats in the European seas and Ukraine's accession to the Union.
Given all of the above, there is an urgent need for technology development and support for the specific activities in the field of the disposal of dumped munitions and conventional weapons from the seas.
The aim of this pilot project is to develop technology and specific tools:
—
to advance, develop and test in the sea, in the safe conditions (non-wartime basins) environmentally friendly, the most comprehensive and efficient methods and concrete tools for the disposal and destruction of conventional munition dumped in the past; this technology and developed tools should be available on demand, within a short time of mobilisation;
—
to assess whether this technology and specific tools can be further used to eradicate the consequences of the Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine in the Black and Azov seas;
—
to further strengthen coordination and stakeholders’ engagement, raise awareness and share best practices.

The Union is a hub, transit point and destination for wild live animals, which are often illegally caught and smuggled out of their country of origin to be sold as exotic pets. Keeping exotic animals as pets is a growing trend stimulated by social media. The Union is one of the largest reptile and amphibian owner markets in the world and it is home to some of the world’s largest reptile and amphibian fairs. Reptiles and amphibians are high on the list of seized illegally traded wildlife in the Union and this trade contributes to the extinction of species in range states. Some exotic animal species may become invasive in Europe when released in the wild or when they escape, to the detrimental of the conservation of native fauna.
Demand reduction interventions are increasingly recognised as a key long-term approach to tackling wildlife trafficking. While demand reduction was among the priorities of the EU Action Plan against Wildlife Trafficking and some information campaigns have been launched, these have not resulted in a decrease in the demand for exotic pets. The EU progress report of the Action Plan acknowledges that more needs to be done. As highlighted in a report by the United Nations Environmental Programme, activities to reduce consumers’ demand should be based on tested frameworks from behavioural sciences.
Research suggests that owners of exotic pets have different personality traits than traditional pet owners. Many awareness campaigns based on general biases and assumptions are merely information activities which do not target behavioural change and are therefore ineffective. The pilot project addresses the need for effective evidence-based interventions to decrease demand for exotic pets. It focuses on creating the scientific basis for such activities and will provide the Commission and Member States with the tools and good practices to implement effective demand reduction campaigns in cooperation with NGOs and other stakeholders.
As the precise extent of the reptile, amphibian, bird and mammal trade in Member States remains unknown, particularly in terms of the species involved, and largely due to the unreported nature of the trade in unregulated species, the project will implement an in-depth research of the overall trade flows in and to the Union in reptiles, birds, mammals and amphibians and focus on the Member States that are the main consumer destinations in the legal and illegal trade, both globally and within Europe, namely France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Special consideration will be given to potential invasive alien species threatening Union’s biodiversity, based on the EU Horizon Scan and other published sources. With the collaboration of experts on consumer behaviour, the project will then research the profile of exotic pet consumers in those Member States. A reframing process, fed by the research on consumer behaviour and discussion of possible interventions with relevant stakeholders, will lead to the identification of options for effective demand reduction activities to achieve the needed long-term behavioural change of the European exotic pet owners, based on initial testing of interventions.
More specifically, this project will result in:
1. A research report presenting the results of the study on consumer profiles, values and motivation of exotic pet keepers in the target countries.
2. A report presenting insight into the exotic pet trade in and to the Union, with a focus on France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
3. A report providing an overview of possible activities aimed at changing consumer behaviour in order to reduce the illegal and unsustainable demand for exotic pets, based on stakeholder discussions and initial testing of interventions addressing reptiles and amphibians’ consumers.

Actions to reverse the alarming decline of wild pollinators are an essential part of the European Green Deal. Our food security and wellbeing depend on the success of these efforts. Failure to address the problem will most dramatically affect future generations. Therefore, it is critical to engage today’s youth in development and implementation of the solutions. A mere call for engagement will not do. Empowering younger generations to act on the problem and shape the future will require dedicated tools and resources.
In its resolutions on the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030: Bringing nature back into our lives and on the EU Pollinators Initiative, the European Parliament has called on the Commission and Member States to better support citizen engagement, including in youth programmes. While a number of ad hoc projects to mobilise (young) citizens on pollinator conservation have been launched at Union level, their scope and scale need to be substantially increased. In particular, funding opportunities adjusted to youth conditions and needs currently lack, as well as a dedicated platform through which youth can engage in Union decision-making processes. In the European Year of Youth, it is essential to undertake first steps to address these shortcomings and support youth in voicing their views on policies that will affect their future as well as in taking actions on the ground.
Actions could be based on:
—
building capacity in youth engagement and participatory governance with regard to the conservation of wild pollinators and relevant Union policies across Member States;
—
the creation of a permanent European Youth Assembly on Pollinators as the platform for sharing knowledge and experience, discussing and making recommendations for policy development and implementation to halt the decline of wild pollinators. The assembly shall consist of young participants from all Member States;
—
the training and education of young actors on the conservation of wild pollinators and biodiversity, embedding this in school curricula;
—
facilitating access to Union funds via a Small Grants Scheme. The scheme shall support youth-led actions in all Member States with an aim to unlock local potential for the conservation of wild pollinators, strengthen local capacities for action, and increase visibility of and translate the Union biodiversity policy and objectives into local context. By focussing on the skills and ideas of young volunteers and jobseekers, the scheme shall also improve local youth employment opportunities and contribute to the sustainable territorial development. The actions shall involve local authorities and stakeholders with a view to ensure long-term impacts of the actions.
The activities could focus, among others, on:
—
improving the status of threatened pollinator species and their habitats through targeted local action;
—
field monitoring (citizen science) with a view to supporting local, regional, national or Union efforts to monitor pollinator species and the threats they face;
—
mapping pollinator habitats for supporting tangible activities on the ground for their protection and/or restoration;
—
improving protected area management and/or governance effectiveness with regard to pollinator conservation;
—
supporting local stakeholders’ initiatives (e.g., local communities and authorities) to help protect, conserve and/or restore pollinator populations or their habitats;
—
analyses to better understand and/or quantify the threats to pollinators in order to support tangible activities on the ground during the lifetime of the project;
—
addressing drivers of pollinator decline through targeted local action;
—
promotion and development of opportunities for local socioeconomic development linked to pollinator and/or biodiversity conservation (e.g. local sustainable production of food or medicinal herbs, ecotourism);
—
local and participatory circular economy solutions for preserving pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide, including by reducing pressures on them;
—
promotion and introduction of agroecological and agro-forestry practices;
—
promotion of pollinator-friendly management on private property (e.g. gardens);
—
support to local stakeholders’ enhanced participation in activities and processes on biodiversity and sustainable development;
—
public awareness, education campaigns, socio-cultural activities, training and capacity building.

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) activity is likely to increase dramatically in the Union over the coming decades and must be deployed with caution for optimal climate impact.
This pilot project would test the format of an EU CCUS Observatory that will monitor, report and verify the captured, transported and stored CO2 from specific industrial installations.
Since this pilot project has the role of testing on a small scale the functioning of such an observatory, for the beginning we propose that the monitoring, reporting and verification activities consider only cement plants and waste incineration plants with carbon capture installations.
If successful, the pilot project could serve as a primary structure of knowledge, data and best practices for a permanent EU CCUS Observatory for all carbon management value chain.
Outputs of the pilot project could include:
—
proposing a framework for assessing the impact of CCUS projects and their contribution to Union climate neutrality;
—
reporting on the CCUS project pipeline in the Union and the estimated impact of those projects on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, economy, and society (two annual stocktake reports during the duration of the pilot project);
—
proposing a knowledge and best practice sharing platform easily accessible to all CCUS projects;
—
events, including closed-door dialogues with decision-makers and public events to promote the CCUS technologies;
—
a proposal for the creation of a permanent EU CCUS Observatory.

Using taxation to change consumer behaviour is key to combatting climate change and reducing our impact on the environment. The objective of the feasibility study is to determine a model that calculates the financial cost of the environmental harm caused by products and services and thereby help to establish the appropriate tax rate to be applied to them. This model should go much beyond the current energy taxation directive that has a narrow focus on energy products.
The model should combine existing methodologies recognised in the Union generating the estimated financial cost of offsetting the environmental harm that is caused by creating, using and disposing of specified products or services. This ensures that the ultimate user of the product or service will be subject to the ‘polluter pays’ principle.
The model could, amongst others, be based on the Product Environmental Footprint method and Organisation Environmental Footprint method (Environmental Footprint methods) which measure and codify the environmental performance of products and organisations across their whole lifecycle. Those methods are scientifically sound assessment methods that are agreed at international level. They cover 16 environmental impacts, including climate change, and impacts related to water, air, resources, land use and toxicity. They are universally applicable and there are separate models for products and organisations respectively. They have been endorsed by the Union in Commission Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279 of 15 December 2021 on the use of the Environmental Footprint methods to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations (
OJ L 471, 30.12.2021, p. 1
). For example, the European Environment Agency has undertaken work to quantify the financial cost of various pollutants.
That feasibility study should take into account the findings of the ongoing ‘Study on the Polluter Pays Principle and Environmentally Harmful Subsidies’. Its findings could be informative in view of the development of benchmarks or the establishment of minimum tax rates for environmentally harmful products and services.
Finally, the feasibility study should not cover energy taxation in view of the ongoing negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council of the proposal to revise Council Directive 2003/96/EC of 27 October 2003 restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity (

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include specific goals on water, in particular SDG 6 – ‘Ensure access to water and sanitation for all’ and SDG 14 ‘Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development’. Other goals like SDG 11 – ‘Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable’ emphasise the need for a system approach to tackle the issues raised by SDGs holistically beyond resource efficiency.
Following a first pilot project, this preparatory action will emphasise links with other resources (including in particular energy) and position sustainable water management in a broader context. The world economic forum has issued a reflection on ‘water and the 4th industrial revolution’, that points to a convergence of the digital, physical and biological domains. It mentions digital technologies like ‘The Internet of Things’, virtual and augmented reality and artificial intelligence that are inducing process changes in businesses and society, but more importantly also social changes on values, behaviour and identities. Indeed, many of the goals identified in the UN SDG address raising of problem awareness and to ‘promote responsible behaviour, educate about the importance of efficiency of use of resources’.
The main premise of this call is that a joint approach of the digital with the arts will help induce changes in our mind-sets, on a business, on a societal and on an individual level. Art and its capacity to present data and induce novel experiences (not the least with novel digital technologies like AR/VR) might be a game changer in the way information can induce changes of values and behaviour. Another important aspect is community involvement where digital and the arts can play jointly an equally important role in enabling participatory collective data gathering. Art can ultimately drive creative solutions to SDG goals by questioning established patterns and pushing technology to limits. Among others, the action will build on S+T+ARTS programme - innovation at the nexus of Science, Technology, and the ARTS. With STARTS, DG CONNECT - has promoted art as a fruitful element in helping digital technologies making a difference for humans and environment.
Applicants targeted: organisations working at the interface of art with technology and ecology, technology institutions and end-users willing to team up with artists, art institutions and foundations.
Description of the activities: residencies of artists in industry and technology institutions and concrete small-scale activities that point to new pathways for policy and society (via third part funding), exhibitions, dissemination, awareness raising actions, educational activities.

The platform supports data-driven policymaking - at regional, national and European levels - by providing macro-level trusted insights into the growth potential of various startup ecosystems. It has already informed and will be an important tool to monitor progress towards, for example, the targets set out in the recent Commission communication of 9 March 2021 entitled ‘2030 Digital Compass: the European way for the Digital Decade’ and the impact of the EU Startup Nations Standard adopted by 25 Member States to date. A follow-up ‘European Startups 2.0’ project would support the consolidation of the platform and its transition to becoming a self-sustaining resource available to policymakers and other private and public technology ecosystem holders in the medium- and longer-term.
Startups and scaleups are key to Europe's future economy and society. They have become a significant contributor of new, quality jobs and are by far the fastest and most resilient growing job engine with 10% year-on-year growth. Two million people are now employed in tech startups across Europe and this is expected to rise to 3,2 million by 2025. Startups and scaleups have a proven capacity to develop breakthrough innovations in response to real world needs, create new jobs and build synergies with Europe’s strong traditional industries. The role startups can play in the recovery from the ongoing crisis - and in accelerating the green and digital transformation - cannot be understated.

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative, announced by President von der Leyen in her 2020 State of the Union address, is an environmental, economic, social and cultural project, aiming to combine sustainability, investment, affordability, accessibility and design in order to help deliver the European Green Deal and its overarching goal for the Union to become the world’s first ‘climate-neutral bloc’ by 2050.
Values and idea. The core values of the NEB are sustainability, aesthetics and inclusiveness. Its ambition is to develop an interdisciplinary framework to support, facilitate and accelerate the green transformation by combining sustainability, innovation, circularity and quality of experience, including aesthetics. This framework will embrace industrial, educational, artistic and cultural spheres creating bridges between science, research, technology and enterprises, on one hand, and culture, architecture, art and design, on the other hand. It will also help to promote social inclusion, including affordability and accessibility. To sum up, the NEB is about finding innovative, creative and suitable solutions to complex societal problems (in buildings and beyond) through co-creation.
Timeline: the NEB will unfold in three phases: co-design (from October 2020 to summer 2021), delivery (from September 2021 onward) and dissemination (from January 2023 onward). The phases will overlap, as individuals and communities interested in the first ideas are likely to become partners to deliver and scale up the initiative.
Management: the NEB is managed by the core project team in the Joint Research Centre under the steering of the President‘s cabinet. The work is coordinated with the two Lead Commissioners: Mariya Gabriel and Elisa Ferreira and supported by the Steering network with core DGs and cabinets (EAC, RTD, ENER, CLIMA, ENV, GROW, CNNECT, REGIO, EMPL, SecGen, Com). In addition, the External High-level Roundtable of Experts provides an informal advice on the initiative.
Given an interdisciplinary and horizontal nature of the NEB initiative coupled with a complexity of interlinkages between existing structures, frameworks, regulations and financial instruments it is important to streamline the standards and guidance in one platform and make them available to potential NEB partners and project beneficiaries.
In light of the above, a preparatory action New European Bauhaus Knowledge Management Platform will be launched. The aim of this preparatory action will be to streamline the standards and guidance around the three dimensions of the NEB (sustainability, aesthetics, inclusiveness) and information about NEB projects funding opportunities. This will allow potential partners and beneficiaries to align with the NEB standards while designing and implementing their transformation projects and well as help them to match project ideas with available funding.
The following steps will be taken in order to reach the aim of the preparatory action:
1. to identify and classify the requirements and standards, guidelines, codes of practices related to the three dimensions of the NEB (sustainability, aesthetics, inclusiveness) and the existing funding opportunities in order to find synergies, gaps and define further needs; identify and reach out to potential partners in order to establish the NEB stakeholders fora;
2. to establish the NEB Knowledge Management Platform designed in a user-centric manner which - on the one hand - will disseminate the collected information about standards, guidance and project funding opportunities among the identified NEB partners and a broader public and - on the other hand - will serve as a depository of ideas and platform for discussion, exchange of best practices for the interested parties;
3. to develop a methodology for project self-assessment and design a dedicated practical toolkit to guide the preparation and implementation of individual local transformation projects. For each requirement to be aligned to the NEB principles (from the integration of inclusion, sustainability and quality of experience values to the multidisciplinary and collaborative approach) a number of indicators and their related assessment criteria will be established to assist a proper identification and assessment of NEB projects.

The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum aims to mobilise blockchain stakeholders involving private companies, public bodies, academia, civil society and individuals in technical and policy discussions about the future development of blockchain. It is also a trustworthy knowledge base about Union blockchain ecosystem including (i) publication of deep dive analysis of thematic issues, the technological and policy trends; (ii) mapping blockchain projects across the Union and the world; and (iii) workshops around topics where acting at Union level would be required or would have an impact.
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) as a ‘trust technology’ can provide responses to various challenges identified in the course of integration of different digital services, securing cyber and social security, and improving the efficiency of economy and society, ranging from identity and document exchange management to self-executing contracts, processing information flows and ensuring the maintenance of repositories and registries. Europe is well placed to lead the development of new trusted public, commercial and industrial services and applications based on blockchain and DLTs. Europe has academics, innovative entrepreneurs, start-ups and large firms eager to use such technologies in their sectors.
While blockchain and DLTs are increasingly adopted in different domains, it has been increasingly highlighted that a sound and healthy scaling up of technology is hampered by fragmented information and knowledge as well as chasm between policy-making and expert knowledge on technology. In order to unlock advantages that the technology brings, a coherent and balanced approach is necessary to scale up blockchain ecosystem across the public and private sector by dissolving the information and knowledge disparity, linking the existing projects in Europe, and mobilising the stakeholders.
The EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum has built a community with strong credibility around its events and thematic reports and has become a recognised player in Europe and on the international scene since its launch in February 2018 under the previous pilot project (2017/2018).

The provisions on consumer empowerment in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (
OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82
) and Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU (
OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 125
) are among the most innovative in the Clean Energy Package (CEP). They oblige Member States to enable demand response through aggregation or dynamic pricing contracts, create local flexibility markets, as well as adopt enabling frameworks for (jointly acting) self-consumers or active customers and renewable and citizen energy communities. Those provisions seek to empower consumers to become active at local level on relevant energy markets by enabling them to engage in a series of innovative activities such as (collective) self-consumption, storage, energy sharing, peer-to-peer exchange and flexibility service provision. Such activities inform new business models and have the potential to accelerate the transition towards renewable energy in a cost-effective and efficient way, whilst ensuring secure access to affordable energy at the local level, provided they are enabled in a way that avoids locking in consumers in isolated self-consumption due to lack of a wider set of options, such as implicit (price signalling through time-differentiated grid tariffs and dynamic price contracts) or explicit (bid-based flexibility markets) incentives, that allow them to interact with the local system and implement energy efficiency measures. At the same time, the decentralised nature of renewable energy installations provides an opportunity to democratise Europe’s energy system by allowing Union citizens to become active and take ownership of the energy transition.
A considerable number of Member States are still lagging behind the full transposition of the above mentioned provisions with negative consequences in terms of an incoherent application of Union law as well as in terms of granting access to the same consumer rights across the Union. At the same time, in some Member States, new schemes for individual or collective self-consumption beyond building and community level have started to develop and are currently not covered by the CEP. Those other types of collective action initiatives could help alleviate energy poverty, provide Union citizens more options to take energy action, and increased investments in renewable energy, as well as help to bring the necessary flexibility to accommodate a cost-effective transition to more electrification and a renewable based energy system.
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the increased need to ensure the Union’s energy independence as well as the Commission’s communication of 18 May 2022 entitled 'REPowerEU Plan' with its accelerated roll out of solar and heat-pumps, and call to enhance demand response and flexibility, a proper and sped up transposition of those provisions and support for new and emerging business models become ever more important in order to tap into the full flexibility potential of local renewable energy production, with close involvement of citizens. The war in Ukraine also has highlighted the need for territory resilience of European communities, encouraging several municipalities and regions to developed localised resources, in the hands of their inhabitants.
The Energy Prosumer Repository should fulfil the following basic functions:
—
monitoring and mapping of individual and collective prosumer schemes, paying particular attention to levels of citizen participation, and enabling frameworks for self-consumption 
(
61
)
 and implicit and explicit demand side response in the Union;
—
collecting and analysing data on level playing field with regards to participation of citizens in implicit and explicit demand response, including related to metering requirements, asset types included/accepted, and asset availability;
—
identifying emerging ownership and business models (including peer to peer exchange, local flexibility services, energy sharing, community storage) and offers related to grid-integrated 
(
62
)
 prosumer schemes, and monitoring the guarantees of benefits to citizens, the system, and wider society;
—
identifying best practices regarding and barriers to the set-up, development of and support for grid-integrated and energy efficient prosumer schemes with high levels of citizen participation and benefits (including those not covered by current Union legislation) 
(
63
)
;
—
providing guidance to local authorities, citizens, businesses and communities regarding the set-up of grid-integrated and energy efficient prosumer schemes by providing them with models for technological, financial and administrative solutions.
The data collected through the repository would constitute a very important source of information for the European institutions, policy-makers, national, regional and local governments. Such data would fit into existing and future policy streams; they would support the development of grid-integrated individual and collective prosumer actions in a way that optimises the use of renewables, reduces the overall cost of the energy transition and thus consumer energy bills. This is line with the System Integration Strategy and Commission communication of 18 May 2022 entitled ' Short-Term Energy Market Interventions and Long Term Improvements to the Electricity Market Design – a course for action'. In addition, it could help inform Member States that still struggle to adequately implement the above cited provisions by 2025, and contribute to the revision or improvement of the regulatory framework at Union and national level for schemes currently not covered.
On the other hand, the repository could be a great source of know-how for SMEs, local authorities, citizens and their associations that wish to set up an individual or collective actions and participate in flexibility markets, in particular in the Member States that do not have a developed regulatory framework or have little experience with best practices so far.
The repository could become a great source of information to track the progress of citizen-driven flexibility services and the progress of private investment in the renewable transition, as well as for recognising other types of collective action initiatives engaging in grid-friendly self-consumption beyond energy communities which would lower the incentive for commercial and industrial actors to ‘capture’ renewable and citizen energy communities for the purpose of engaging in innovative activities.

This preparatory action will develop a European Fellowship Scheme to support Researchers at Risk. In particular, the preparatory action will develop the procedures for the selection of grantees (assessing their risk and awarding them the fellowship) and for matching grantees with host institutions in the Union. It should also be considered to what extend the procedures should be differentiated based on the geographical origin of the request. Under this action requests from all countries outside the Union will be considered. Experiences of comparable national and NGO programmes as well as experiences of the MSCA4Ukraine action should be considered.
Furthermore, to validate the established procedures this preparatory action will award fellowships to researchers at risk in two tracks with 15 fully-funded placements in each track:
Track 1: Urgent placements for researchers at risk outside the refugee process
Track 2: Refugee researchers and follow-up placements for candidates at risk outside the refugee process
To ensure further Union added value as well as synergies of the efforts of Team Europe, the preparatory action will develop an approach to stimulate Member States to set up their own programmes as well as an approach for maximising the impact of national and Union funding by coordinating the efforts of different programmes.
This preparatory action is inspired by policy recommendations developed by the Horizon 2020 MSCA project ‘Inspireurope’.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.
This preparatory action intends to promote a European approach to innovation rooted in arts/culture and values by linking, digital innovation and use and the arts in local ecosystems in selected regions outside Europe. A concreted approach of artistic experimentation with digital will be used to promote uptake of digital technologies in the economies of the selected regions and to promote a ‘human compatible’ and ecologically conscious use of digital worldwide. The preparatory action follows a pilot project where the idea has been validated and the policy dimension to promote a European approach to innovation as an alternative to US and Chinese approaches adjusted.
The international activities shall comprise events (i.e. fairs, exhibitions, festivals, workshops, hackathons) and artistic residencies where local and European businesses/start-ups meet with local and European artists, respectively. It is proposed to limit the activities to two selected regions - Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East – with emerging economies where we expect that innovation rooted in culture and the arts will resonate most strongly with local thinking. It is suggested to collaborate in these selected regions also with dominant digital players that show an increasing awareness to the worldwide social and environmental impact of digital progress. One lesson learned from the pilot phase is that it is better to have two separate projects covering the two selected regions. Given the importance of artificial intelligence, the preparatory action will emphasise artificial intelligence, but does not exclude activities in other digitally pertinent topics relevant in the selected regions. The preparatory action builds among others on the S+T+ARTS programme in DG CONNECT that promotes synergies between the arts and digital technology.

This preparatory action is a continuation of pilot project PP 01 21 02 which has been approved for two consecutive years and aims to overcome financial, legal and technical barriers to citizen-led renovation projects. It involves the creation of a specific Union support service for Citizens Energy Communities (CECs) and Renewable Energy Communities (REC) new actors enshrined in the Union legislation able to catalyse citizen engagement in various aspects of the ecological transition, including renovation projects. The creation of such a service could build upon the experience of cooperatives that are successfully bundling projects at a neighbourhood scale. The support service would aim to strengthen community building, to scale up and replicate successful programmes. It should include:
1. A platform for sharing experience and models, in order to build strong community dynamics to mobilise Union citizens around integrated building renovation and renewable deployment (through the tool of energy communities).
2. Support for the development of investment plans, as identifying financing options is a key element for the creation of project pipelines. (Looking for commonalities in order to scale the development of citizen-led projects. Investigating the development of models supporting renovation in conjunction with renewable deployment.)
3. Providing evidence and indicators in order to raise awareness among existing energy communities about the value of energy renovations.
4. Providing technical assistance and coaching to citizens groups, existing community organisations as well as local authorities to set up citizen and renewable energy communities dealing with building renovation, access to home ownership and energy poverty.
5. Monitoring and supporting a strong transposition of Clean Energy Package provisions concerning CECs and RECs which should be an opportunity for Member States to strengthen the role of citizens in the energy transition.
The goal of the preparatory action will be to coach renewable and citizen energy communities through the process of creating and implementing a territory transition.

The current pilot project PP 01 24 ‘Europe-wide solutions for free and open source software use by public services in the Union (FOSSEPS)’ not only significantly advanced the idea of Europe-wide cooperation on open source, but has done so via three concrete actions, (i) building a first Europe-wide Open Source Solutions Catalogue for public administrations (ii) identifying critical software used by European public services, and (iii) forming a European public services user group on open source.
Our Europe-wide capacity to strategically use and operationally deploy free and open source software (FOSS) is a cornerstone of strategies to achieve digital sovereignty, increased competitiveness of digital markets, innovation, and cybersecurity. The initial pilot project has been a resounding success. There is unfinished work and further interest in each of the three project pillars. The three actions listed below build on earlier achievements and propose key actions that the preparatory action would take to centrally and simultaneously meet the demand from European public services.
(i) European Applications Catalogue
Already proven benefits of savings in time and costs caused by re-using open source applications listed in national catalogues point to massive savings from having a fully functioning European Open Source Solutions Catalogue. The initial European Applications Catalogue minimal viable product created by the pilot project will need to be greatly expanded by the preparatory action to allow for more Member States’ data to be ingested, whilst still being reflected in their own national catalogues (a federated data-collection approach). In fact, many Member States do not yet have catalogues of open source software solutions, and those who do have technical difficulties federating their work. More work is needed to accommodate different data standards used by Member States, also to help Member States to create more mature entries to their national catalogues, and in turn the European Applications Catalogue. This preparatory action will aim to get open source solution information from at least 14 Member States (50 %) via standards work, canvassing, better communication, and by demonstrating the massive savings to be achieved. Data content for each listed application needs harmonisation so that user searches return meaningful results and provide useful comparative content. In addition, the initial minimal viable product created under the pilot project also needs ongoing maintenance funds to meet the evolving European Applications Catalogue. In addition to the improvement of the catalogue resulting from the pilot project, we need to allocate part of the funding to improve national catalogues and their compatibility with the European one.
(ii) Critical Software Inventory
Aside from gaining praise for tackling this pressing issue (e.g. the recent Log4J issue), the pilot project illustrated the huge lack of awareness of critical software within European public services. The pilot project provided that awareness, but awareness is not sufficient as European Public Services lack the tools to identify critical software. It is clear therefore that European public services cannot handle this issue alone. At the very least they need tools to create a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for every software they use. That is why for the Union institutions and European public services should pool their resources to a project that would keep identifying and fixing critical software. There is a need for engagement and cooperation with other industry actors in order to sustain that effort. The scope of the inventory should be extended to fit the increased use of FOSS in public administrations, as well as by vendors providing software solutions to the public sector. As part of the development of the inventory, the FOSSEPS team should develop a Union-wide maintenance strategy for the identified software in collaboration with the FOSS actors that are currently maintaining them. This mitigation strategy and its financing will be elaborated on in collaboration with the Member States. The goal of this preparatory action is ultimately that Member States increase collaboratively and autonomously their capacity to identify critical software and mitigate any potential cybersecurity risks. Special attention should be given to identifying a mechanism for the sustainability of solutions for critical software. This will strengthen and extend the current activities of public service open source expertise centres in Member States and the Commission, using funding from the preparatory action.
(iii) European cooperation on open source
The preparatory action will build on the nascent work started by the pilot project to encourage European public services to form an open source network or user group. The preparatory action will actively involve European public services across the Member States to strengthen the expertise in this network, allowing it to expand, and bring in new members. One of the possible practical outcomes of this increased capacity, to be prepared in the preparatory action, is to find ways for public service open source expertise centres in the Member States to pool their resources to allow them to collectively improve the sustainability and governance of essential open source components. This initiative will allow European public services to manage their own open source issues and collectively provide solutions, thus enabling them to become digitally sovereign in this area, while nurturing the European open source ecosystem of small open source actors.
(iv) Open source cybersecurity and sustainability
There is a need to conduct security and sustainability analyses on commonly used open source software within European public services. The preparatory action will conduct a series of bug bounties and hackathons to identify and fix criticalities and help to make critical software more sustainable by enhancing or strengthening the base software. Such activities will also help to promote the use of open source within the Union.
(v) Defining strategies to promote the re-use of software developed by or for public services
In particular, this preparatory action will promote software re-use by using a series of incentives (awards) via competitions, to provide, apart from financial prizes, practical support (e.g., consultancy, development, testing support) and help these public services to address software issues that prevent their solutions from being used by other public administrations in other Member States (e.g., internationalisation and localisation, integration and customisation).

While some progress has been made towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many challenges remain in monitoring and implementing them effectively in Europe, as disparities are evident both among Member States and Union regions.
This is of particular importance when taking into account the need to localise the SDGs at different sub-national levels in order to ensure their implementation in light of local challenges and objectives.
One of the key challenges in monitoring and implementing the SDGs is the design and development of integrated and coherent policies that take into account the interlinkages among the SDGs and their targets. Other challenges include inadequate financing, insufficient data and monitoring mechanisms, and differing institutional capacities in European regions.
This preparatory action aims to inform the Union, national and regional policy-making with concrete recommendations on aspects related to SDG monitoring and implementation at the regional level, building on the outcome of the pilot project PP 01 22 06 ‘Monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals in the Union - Filling the data gaps’ including the co-developed set of indicators and data.
The preparatory action aims at establishing a mechanism for the regular regional monitoring of the progress towards the achievement of the SDGs. The mechanism will work on the data collection, analysis and interpretation of indicators produced at regional level (NUTS2).
This preparatory action is to be implemented over two years.
The steps to take for the implementation of the preparatory action are:
—
expanding the regional indicator set to address all SDG targets (from 55 to 169) created under PP 01 22 06;
—
validating the regional indicator set via a large scale survey targeting European regions;
—
establishing and disseminating the European regional indicator set for monitoring the SDGs with most updated data;
—
cooperating with national statistical systems on the systematic collection and dissemination of regional SDG data;
—
inferring associations in the form of complementary and trade-off interlinkages for policy actions addressing the SDGs at subnational level;
—
testing the complementarity of a series of current European policies (European Green Deal, cohesion policy, the common agricultural policy) in relation to the achievement of certain SDGs at regional level;
—
developing policy recommendations for the Commission on how European regions monitor the SDGs, and what SDG interlinkages imply for policy-making actions.

1. Partnerships for Regional Innovation: policy relevance and next steps
Innovation is an essential enabler for achieving the Union’s policy objectives, in particular the green transition and digital transformation and achieving open strategic autonomy, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. Innovation is also essential to drive Europe’s competitiveness and to build resilience in strategic areas and reduce the dependencies and vulnerabilities that recent crises have brought to the surface.
The deep transformations of production and consumption systems brought about by the transition to a new green energy system, by the pervasive role of digital technologies, and by the challenges that the COVID-19 crisis and the consequences of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine demand for ambitious investments in innovation. However, truly transformative outcomes are unlikely to be generated by more funds in a business-as-usual approach.
New innovation policies must address two important prerequisites: meaningful involvement of local and regional stakeholders including citizens, enterprises, knowledge institutions and local authorities; and transformative, system-level innovation influencing and inspiring industrial, climate, employment and social policies, among others. They also have to take into account recent Joint Research Centre (JRC) modelling work on regional economic diversification achieved by introducing new technologies that concludes that related diversification has a greater potential for more peripheral and less developed regions than for the more developed regions that should rather pursue more path-breaking ways to innovate.
The Commission and the Committee of the Regions launched in 2022 the Partnerships for Regional Innovation (PRI). The PRI approach was endorsed by the Commission in its communication of 5 July 2020 entitled ‘New European Innovation Agenda’.
PRI come as a response to the urgent call of the European Green Deal to address the unprecedented challenge posed by climate change, to the pressing need to achieve open strategic autonomy and to ensure that Europe thrives in the green and digital economy of the future, while strengthening social and territorial cohesion in an era of global polycrisis.
PRI have been developed at the JRC. They build on positive experiences with smart specialisation strategies and seek to address the fragmentation of funding instruments and policies in territories, and misalignments between regional, national and Union initiatives, while exploring novel approaches designed to join up efforts across governments and stakeholders, develop partnerships and amplify impact.
A first PRI Playbook has been developed and offered to the territories participating in the pilot, with a view to guiding the implementation of the pilot project.
The year-long PRI pilot project started on the 17 May 2022, it involves 74 territories and has two main objectives. The first is to thoroughly test and further develop the PRI Playbook, and through it the whole PRI concept. The second key objective is to start giving further visibility to, and co-develop, opportunities for pilot territories to connect and initiate interregional collaboration on topics in support of future regional innovation valleys under the New European Innovation Agenda, the joint local articulation of Union missions, inter-regional cooperation in new sustainable value chains, collaborative skills development, or further areas that matter most to the territories.
2. Preparatory action on PRI: objectives, scope, and activities
Based on the above, this preparatory action would:
—
open the experimentation of the PRI to a larger set of territories than the one involved in the initial action,
—
test the PRI as a bridge between local smart specialisation strategies and the deployment of the Union climate adaptation mission in regions and communities,
—
support the participation of the territories in new Union value chains linked to the deployment of the twin green and digital transitions,
—
test PRI long-term viability,
—
foster its policy traction,
—
support the deployment and implementation of the PRI concept in support of Union industrial, cohesion and research and innovation policies,
—
link the PRI to the New European Bauhaus approach where appropriate,
—
address the challenges and needs of smaller or less innovative communities and territories to mitigate the risks of an increased in innovation divide in the Union,
—
create a community of PRI practitioners.

This preparatory action has the following objectives:
—
analysis of case studies of startup villages;
—
formulation of a final report with policy recommendations to be launched in a public event.
There is no legal basis for an in-depth collection of indicators and metrics concerning innovation deployment and specifically innovative entrepreneurship in rural areas, and there is little availability of appropriate data and statistics, as well as scarce evidence of how startups can emerge and successfully grow in rural areas. Therefore, the knowledge base needs to be enhanced and broadened in order to underpin policy action with scientific support.
Moreover, there is no specific action matching innovation, startups and entrepreneurship in the current broad framework of Union policy programmes targeting rural areas. The different policies that impact on rural areas (rural development policies, regional policy, research and innovation policy) deploy a number of relevant actions, but a synthesis is missing and there is therefore a need to join the dots and extract relevant recommendations to fill this gap in future action.

EU Road Safety Exchange + (EURSE) (II) will consolidate the work on exchange of knowledge and best practice of the pilot project and expand the scope to a larger number of Member States. A longstanding programme ensures continuous peer support, essential to achieving both national and European targets for reducing road deaths and serious injuries, as well as high-level visibility and ownership for road safety in the Member States. It provides new tools and solutions based on international good practice and establishes consistent partnership between countries. Targeted action on key topics will help close the significant road safety performance gap between Member States.
The preparatory action will expand the number of participants of the EU Road Safety Exchange project and identify participating countries based on their potential for achieving significant road safety improvements. Twinning experts would be selected based on their proven record of implementing effective road safety measures on the subjects of interest. The preparatory action will set up a new mechanism for exchange and systematic follow-up to ensure that professionals in participating Members States have the necessary knowhow and tools to introduce long-term reforms in road safety, in line with national resilience and recovery plans. The activities envisaged include online thematic workshops, study visits on the ground, as well as systematic follow-up and a final conference to share knowledge and experience with a wider audience.

The inland waterways transport is changing, benefitting from emerging technologies that lead to a safer, digital and more sustainable sector. Autonomous vessel operations will open new business opportunities, as well as new challenges, supporting the digitalisation and sustainability challenges of the Union. EU Space Data from Galileo, EGNOS and Copernicus will be key enablers of this transformation, by facilitating reliable and robust positioning information and harmonised images of the fairways and environment, needed for safe and green autonomous operations.
The need for highly accurate, resilient positioning is agreed for operations like: navigation in narrow fairways, bridge passing, waterways locks, auto-mooring and simultaneous berthing operations. Further automation (with no human in the loop) would welcome additional features that will be provided by Galileo differentiators, not leveraged yet, such as authentication and integrity in the position.
The definition of autonomous operation may rely on robust images of the area to be navigated. Today, operators and manufacturers rely on diverse sources of such data that lead to a non-harmonised approach. However, Copernicus images will ensure a homogeneous Union approach, supporting the safe integration of simultaneous autonomous operations as well as integration with manned traffic. The preparatory action shall be focused on:
—
attendance to existing working groups addressing solutions for autonomous vessels, including different public/private platforms and interviewing key industrial stakeholders, such as shipping associations, port operators, relevant maritime and inland waterways authorities;
—
contribution to standardisation work within the Comité Européen pour l’Élaboration de Standards dans le Domaine de Navigation Intérieure (CESNI);
—
identification of the user requirements for the safe navigation in inland waterways where autonomous, remotely piloted and manually piloted vessels will co-exist;
—
definition of concept of operations and positioning performance needs for different operations of autonomous vessels;
—
identification of main challenges to be overcome to ensure safe operation and resilient positioning;
—
identification and analysis of the technical and regulatory barriers (e.g. lack of standards and regulation), industry value chain and new business models that could emerge in inland waterways navigation taking advantage of the three-dimensional synergies between satellite-based navigation, imagery and telecom;
—
identification of the possible actions at national, regional and local level to boost business development, and support SMEs/start-ups to deliver Union space-based solutions to realize the future Union autonomous vessels capability for inland waterways;
—
prototyping of onboard equipment that uses Galileo differentiators to address the main needs not covered so far by existing equipment, with focus on the use of Galileo authentication to prevent spoofing or use of fake signals, preventing accidents. Equipment prototypes developed within this preparatory action should be based, when available, on existing commercial off-the-shelf components;
—
design of a safety case with Copernicus images to define the waterways to be tested;
—
analysis of how much information is needed to be transmitted to have updated inland electronic navigational charts and the minimum speed of communication to guarantee a safe operation, including whether the vessel needs to download the information of the fairway in the port or can do while navigating;
—
implementation of several demonstrations along selected inland waterways where it is expected that in the future autonomous vessels will coexist with manually piloted vessels. The aim is to demonstrate feasibility and added value in line with the Commission guidelines on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
The vessels in the demonstration shall be equipped at least with:
—
high-end GNSS receivers that include Galileo authentication and EGNOS;
—
high-bandwidth communication means to:
—
download the information from Copernicus related to the fairway;
—
download the information of the hull contour of all the vessels navigating in the same inland waterway;
—
send to the monitoring centre all the sensors information;
—
receive from the monitoring centre control inputs in case that there is the need to remotely operate the vessel;
—
contribution to draft a new standard for minimum requirements for EU Space Data to guarantee safe autonomous vessel navigation in inland waterways in support of future regulatory initiatives.

The Commission has implemented the pilot project PP 02 20 02 Eco labelling for aviation / Demonstration project for the introduction of a voluntary Green Label system in aviation. That pilot project also became part of the Commission's communication of 5 December 2020 entitled ‘Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy - putting European transport on track for the future’ (COM(2020) 789 final) under Flagship 5 ‘Pricing Carbon and provide better incentives for users’. Part of the deliverables is a label demonstrator finalised in the fourth quarter of2022 accompanied by a proof of concept report which was to be delivered in the first quarter of 2023. The work performed under the pilot project clearly demonstrated the technical and operational feasibility of the labelling system for aviation.
The main objective of the environmental labelling system for aviation is to reduce aviation’s environmental footprint by facilitating more sustainable choices for consumers based on trusted, harmonised and accessible information. A holistic approach is being considered by looking at the key components of the aviation system, such as flight performance and complementary information on aircraft technology. Such an approach would incentivise the aviation industry to reduce its environmental impact by considering both readily available solutions and future technologies.
The pilot project developed the methodologies and the relevant digital distribution frameworks identifying the technical criteria to assess airline operations and the aircraft technology used, and did so in line with the applicable policies, initiatives and methodologies developed by the Commission.
In addition, the pilot project includes broad stakeholder participation with key players from the aviation industry (25+ airlines, engine and aircraft manufacturers, airports) and travel industry (Amadeus, Google, Skyscanner, Travalyst), Member States as well as NGOs (UECNA, BEUC, T+E).
Based on the positive outcomes of the pilot project a follow-up preparatory action would allow the further development of the project for the direct benefit of Union citizens by providing a potential legal basis. In this regard, further work is anticipated to explore the inclusion of non-CO2 climate impacts from aviation into the label assessment method. Such work might include lifecycle assessment work that will enable mode of transport comparison, as well as scientific work needed to align methodological discrepancies. Considering that the label aims to provide a total assessment of the environmental impact of aviation a thorough assessment should be made with regards to developing additional use cases covering environmental transparency methods for air navigation service providers (ANSP), airlines and aircraft manufacturers.

This preparatory action shall aim to establish a book and claim system for the aviation sector in the Union in order to facilitate the cost-effective distribution and broader use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in the Union market by separating the purchase of SAF from its physical delivery and use. Creating transparent supply/demand signals within the book and claim system for different types of SAF as established under Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 October 2023 on ensuring a level playing field for sustainable air transport (ReFuelEU Aviation) (
OJ L, 2023/2405, 31.10.2023, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2405/oj
), would boost the SAF production market in a cost-effective way, with maximum environmental benefits, while preserving competitiveness of the European aviation sector and a level playing field for fuel suppliers and aircraft operators. The preparatory action has to focus on developing a system that combines environmental benefits with economic needs.
The preparatory action shall be carried out in the following phases:
1. Analysis of the existing legislative framework, including the relevant provisions of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (
OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82
), Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (
OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32
), Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 as well as any other relevant legislation. Such analysis should provide the basis of a well-functioning book and claim system at the Union level that:
—
ensures compliance with Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 as well as facilitates claiming under EU ETS due to a proper circulation of certificates issued for the parties involved on the basis of the proof of sustainability pursuant to Directive (EU) 2018/2001;
—
follows a specific timeframe in line with the obligations under Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 compliance cycle of fuel suppliers pursuant to Directive (EU) 2018/2001 and the compliance cycle for the aircraft operators pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC.
2. Design of the IT architecture of the book and claim system, with due regard to the existing Union Database under Directive 2009/28/EC. The system design should propose effective solutions to prevent irregularities and fraud as well as to address a potential risk of double counting.
3. Implementation of the developed book and claim system in selected Union airports, based on air traffic, potential SAF supply and demand, and with due regard to geographical balance in the Union, possibly including but not limited to Frankfurt am Main International Airport, Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Henri Coandă International Airport, Humberto Delgado Airport, Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, Warsaw Chopin Airport, Palma de Mallorca Airport and Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Such a trial implementation should best take effect along the first target set under Regulation (EU) 2023/2405.

As illustrated by the recent overflight of a Chinese balloon in the United States and Canadian airspace, operations in the higher airspace, i.e. above 20km altitude, are already taking place and trigger critical challenges. The Commission has delivered a "Roadmap on Higher Airspace Operations (HAO)" exploring the regulatory issues around the development of these operations in the Union and recommending a number of follow-up actions. These actions aim at better understanding these future higher airspace operations and the associated challenges in order to prepare an adequate Union regulatory framework, and consist of:
—
studies and research,
—
safety, environmental and cyber-security assessments,
—
development of the 'regulatory sandbox' concept to accelerate industry tests and demonstrations.
The overall objective in this field would be to enable a safe, secure, efficient and sustainable implementation of higher airspace operations in Europe and to contribute building a global approach through the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) by establishing a strong European position.
This preparatory action should allow building enhanced knowledge of these future operations and their environment, to prepare for future regulatory initiatives and build a useful ecosystem supporting industrial developments. Thanks to its recognised experience and excellence in aviation and space domains, Europe could have a leading role in this future industry. It will also be important to ensure that security and defence aspects are duly taken into account to protect sovereignty in the European airspace.
The key objectives of this preparatory action would be to support the following lines of action:
—
launching scientific studies on the conditions at high altitude affecting the flights and the persons on board (weather, medical requirements, spectrum, surveillance, communications, propulsion, etc.);
—
supporting industrial development, for instance through special certification conditions and regulatory sandboxes;
—
performing legal and regulatory assessments (including safety and environmental impact assessments), as well as gap analysis ;
—
exploiting synergies with other Union policies (space, defence, security, connectivity, etc.);
—
ensuring regional and global interoperability, mainly through ICAO;
—
building European know-how and raise awareness.
The implementation of this preparatory action will continue in 2024 -2025. The results from its actions as well as from the first tests and demonstrations in Europe are aimed to support the development of a regulatory framework as of 2026.

The Commission has implemented the pilot project PP 02 22 02 ‘Comprehensive handbook for building local Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ecosystem in Europe: Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) Hub’.
That pilot project is flagship action 7 under the Commission's communication of 29 November 2022 entitled ‘A Drone Strategy 2.0 for a Smart and Sustainable Unmanned Aircraft Eco-System in Europe’ (COM(2022) 652 final). The implementation started in the same month with the objective to provide a first version of the platform by end of 2023 for testing.
The overall objective is to enable a safe, secure, efficient and sustainable IAM implementation in Europe as foreseen in the Drones Strategy 2.0 by providing an interactive online platform (‘IAM Hub’) for IAM ecosystems.
In particular, the pilot project is currently:
—
capturing the user needs from the IAM ecosystem,
—
defining the functional and technical requirements,
—
defining the data structure,
—
defining the initial content of the system as regards safety, privacy, noise and sustainability.
In addition the pilot project includes a comprehensive stakeholder governance ("IAM Hub Task Force") with key players from the IAM ecosystem (operators, manufacturers, airports, vertiport operators, NAAs and municipalities).
Based on the positive outcomes of the implementation of the pilot project and initial feedback from the Stakeholder Task Force a follow-up preparatory action would allow to further develop the project for the direct benefit of Union citizens and the emerging IAM industry. The Union has a leading role in this future industry. The IAM Hub can help to maintain this lead by allowing for smooth implementation across all levels of the ecosystem.
The key objectives of the preparatory action would be:
—
widening the accessibility and functionalities of the system to further municipalities and other uses;
—
increasing the synergies between the European Authority for Aviation Safety (EASA) and National Aviation Authorities;
—
increasing the synergies with other Union initiatives e.g. CIVITAS (City-Vitality-Sustainability i.e. City Network-Urban Mobility Transport Programme by the Commission within the Union and beyond), SESAR projects;
—
defining the legal hook of the IAM Hub as a means for collaboration in the ecosystem facilitating compliance with the Drones/eVTOL regulations as well as safety, environmental, cyber and noise issues.
The preparatory action should benefit from high visibility events (e.g. Milan Winter Olympics 2026) and integrate the learnings into the system.

Green digital twin transition has been identified as priority policy area to reach the objectives of both the European Green Deal and the European Digital Strategy as expressed in Commission communication of 19 February 2020 entitled ‘the Shaping Europe’s digital future’ (COM(2020) 67 final), the European Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles for the Digital Decade (COM(2022) 28 final) and in Decision (EU) 2022/2481 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme (2030 (
OJ L 323, 19.12.2022, p. 4
).
The potential of digital solutions is to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases by 20 %, if properly designed, used and governed. Steps needed to realise this potential include:
(i) metrics to quantify the net digitalisation impact and guidelines to maximise the digital enablement, that is, science-based metrics to measure the environmental impact of digitalisation. Such metrics are essential to further develop guidelines for consistent development, implementation and governance of ‘green digital solutions’ that maximise the sustainability benefits and minimise negative (rebound) effects;
(ii) adoption and use of these metrics and guidelines by all sectors of Union economy. Major sectors of our economy in their digitalisation efforts will be supported by the tailored guidelines to their sector on how to deploy green digital solutions. The metrics will be used to quantify the benefits (e.g. avoided emissions) so that these sectors can be supported in their intended net zero trajectories and report progress accordingly. Dedicated Union-wide programmes such as Digital Decade Policy Programme (DDPP) will also help to deploy at scale sustainable digital solutions and infrastructures in Member States and support these efforts with proper upskilling of the workforce;
(iii) based on the large scale evidence of such benefits, to support financial sector and public procurers need to develop clear and consistent key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for sustainable financing of such green digital solutions as well a criteria for green public procurements, respectively. Major Union programmes and initiatives such as the NextGenerationEU and Digital Decade Policy Programme will also benefit from these metrics.
To address point (i), the European Parliament took the initiative in 2021, following Council conclusions of 17 December 2020 entitled ‘Digitalisation for the benefits of the environment’, to request a pilot project. The Commission accepted that proposal and launched a two-year pilot project ‘European Green Digital Coalition (EGDC)’ that started in mid-December 2021. The goal of that pilot project was to support the Members of the European Green Digital Coalition that has been launched by Commissioner Breton in March 2021. Namely, to develop science based assessment methodologies (metrics, KPIs) to quantify the net environmental impact of digital solutions, and to develop guidelines for stakeholders in major economic sectors to use these methods consistently. The methodology will be based on international and European standards, and the guidelines were expected to be developed by the end of 2023 or early 2024. The membership of the EGDC comprises 37 large ICT companies, 45 SMEs and numerous supporting partners.
This preparatory action addresses points (ii) and (iii) by extending the European Green Digital Coalition to include sectoral players from energy, transport, construction, agriculture, and other major sectors that will deploy digital solutions with the guidance developed in the EGDC and monitor the benefits with the standardised methods developed by the EGDC.
In particular, this preparatory action will:
1. Engage with at least 30 major sectoral players such as major economic actors in the Union in the abovementioned sectors to deploy proven digital solutions at scale with the support of the specific sectoral guidelines and consistently monitor the net environmental impact of such digitalisation. As a goal this preparatory action will set to achieve at least 1 Gigaton of digitally enabled CO2 reductions, ideally by the end of this preparatory action;
2. Engage with at least financial institutions and international, national, regional and local level to adopt simple KPIs that will allow sustainable finance of digitalisation that proves to have a positive impact on environment and climate;
3. Develop clear and simple technical criteria and verification methods as a proposal for the Union taxonomy when Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation and for determining whether that economic activity causes no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives (
OJ L 442, 9.12.2021, p. 1
) will be subject to revision, and to support the development of Union-wide green public procurement criteria;
4. Engage with similar and complementary initiatives such as Digital with Purpose and CODES to ensure future continuation, sustainability and global impact of this preparatory action;
5. Engage with local communities and authorities for them to implement the metrics and methodology at a local level.
This preparatory action will comprise not only of ICT and vertical industry stakeholders, but also SMEs, policymakers from local and regional representatives, professional organisations and environmental NGOs. A trusted cooperative environment will be built to assess and monitor the commitments and their implementation, to share good practices and to be able to scale to other sectors and other regions of the world. Building upon the pilot project, the appropriations for the preparatory action will finance a secretariat dedicated to its implementation. Continuity with the current Secretariat would be ideal, especially if the contract of the call for tender can be extended to cover the period of the preparatory action.
High-level events will be organised under the preparatory action under the auspices of the European Parliament and the Commission, in cooperation with local partners. These can take place in different Member States, focusing on key policy areas linking the European Green Deal and the new Union’s digital and industrial strategies. The events should be web-streamed to ensure a broad public coverage and accessibility to as many Union citizens as possible. The outcomes of the events would contribute to policy development and evaluation at Union level and beyond.

Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of Union energy consumption and 36% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because of their energy consumption. However, over their whole life-cycle they consume more energy than this. It is estimated that the life-cycle GHG emissions of buildings currently add up to something closer to 50% of the Union total, but there is no precise figure at Union level.
Therefore, the concept of the ‘whole life-cycle carbon’ of a building should be used to fully consider the total amount of operational and embodied carbon emissions throughout its life-cycle. It comprises four main phases: production, construction process, operation and end of life.
There is data available on emissions from industries related to construction (e.g. manufacture of steel and glass), however, this is only one part of the picture and other approaches are also relevant to fully comprehend the GHG emissions of buildings. Examples include urban mining and reuse of construction products, more efficient use of built spaces, action to lengthen the service life of buildings, and optimal use of low carbon materials. Without understanding the precise scale of the issue across the whole construction ecosystem, it is difficult to formulate effective policy responses, which would achieve maximum GHG reductions in a cost-effective manner.
There are various sources of potential data that could enable a study to calculate an estimate of embodied emissions of buildings at Union level. Typically, such a calculation would require estimates of the volume of construction work carried out, which materials have been manufactured and used in construction, which building types have been constructed/renovated, floor areas and heights/volumes built, how far the materials have been transported to the site. But the sources of such data are disparate, and nobody has carried out such calculations at Union level or in the vast majority of Member States. The use of reference building typologies would greatly aid such calculations, and also enable modelling of scenarios that are based on typical buildings.
This preparatory action aims to devise and put into practice a methodology to gather new and existing data on the embodied emissions of the Union building stock.
The preparatory action will make use of reference building typologies to model:
—
a complete picture of the current embodied GHG emissions of the Union building stock; and
—
the impact of scenarios of increased activity, such as accelerated rates of renovation and uptake of more circular approaches in construction.
The preparatory action will make use of various sources of data available from existing national initiatives, and assess the usefulness of other data sources. Examples of such sources include the EU Building Stock Observatory, the European Construction Sector Observatory, Eurostat, national data (for example on housing and construction output), information contained in Energy Performance Certificates (e.g. construction characteristics, dates of construction/renovation, building floor area/dimensions), and research work including new surveys where necessary.
Expected outcome:
—
The data gathered on the embodied emissions of the Union building stock will provide a basis for future interventions, including legislation, in the fields of resource efficiency, energy and climate policies, as well as creating a valuable resource for further research.
—
The preparatory action will develop a methodology to integrate and make use of existing data sources on buildings embodied carbon, identify gaps and collect new data sources, enabling much needed comparability and interoperability of data.
—
It will thus provide new data on the GHG emissions embodied in the various life-cycle phases of buildings, for each Member State across the Union’s building stock.
Contribution to the Union legislation:
—
The preparatory action will greatly contribute to the European Green Deal and its objectives of reducing GHG emissions in the building sector.
—
This preparatory action will feed into the Renovation Wave action ‘Developing a 2050 whole life-cycle performance roadmap to reduce carbon emissions from buildings and advancing national benchmarking with Member States’, which is due by 2023.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.
In spite of the substantial efforts of the Commission and of the European Parliament to disseminate information and best practice on keeping pigs with intact tails, routine tail docking is still practised in most Member States, in violation of Council Directive 2008/120/EC of 18 December 2008 laying down minimum standards for the protection of pigs (
OJ L 47, 18.2.2009, p. 5
). To make progress towards compliance with the provisions of that Directive, it is of uttermost importance to reliably and cost-efficiently monitor the levels of tail docking and tail lesions in all pig farms. Such data will be extremely useful for advisory, benchmarking and potentially enforcement purposes. The automatic detection of pig tail length and lesions at the slaughterhouse provides the most promising tool for uniform and fair monitoring of tail condition across slaughterhouses and Member States. Several slaughterhouses and Member States are interested in adopting automated systems to score pig tail length and damage at slaughter, but return on investment has so far not been perceived as high enough, especially as there is no system ready for commercial application.
This preparatory action will consist of a joint effort between researchers, governments, industry partners and NGOs across Member States to achieve a validated, harmonised and fair system of tail length and lesion assessment by automatically measuring lesions at the slaughterhouse. It will consist of the following work packages: (a) developing, calibrating and testing an automated system based on the analysis of camera footage in slaughterhouses characterised by different conditions and docking levels; (b) developing the software to connect the system to the ICT system of the participating slaughterhouses, and converting the data automatically into reports; (c) validating the system and comparing the outcomes to other data sources, such as visual assessments by trained assessors; (d) assessing the functionality and impact of the system (including the costs) by discussing the outcomes with relevant stakeholders and (e) piloting the system in practise, in the first instance as an aid for farmers to further refine their farm management so as to prevent tail biting and avoid routine tail docking.

The objective of the preparatory action is to support the leverage of new technologies to improve market surveillance activities, also with the view to overcome the challenges posed by new technologies and e-commerce. Building on the pilot project "Assessing the challenges and opportunities for market surveillance activities in relation to new technologies and digital supply chain" and its final study, the aim of this preparatory action is to help developing technologies, including artificial intelligence, that have the highest potential to support market surveillance authorities in their daily tasks. One example is the developing of a product tracking compliance control tool, allowing market surveillance authorities to digitally obtain the product information needed to perform their inspections by using a scanning system reading the product ID. The preparatory action can also help financing the development of e-commerce surveillance systems.

The scope of this preparatory action is to prepare proposals with a view to the adoption of future actions for creating the basis for a future tourism common policy, building on the work being done in the context of the pilot project for quality of tourism accommodation.
A comprehensive European tourism policy must be developed supporting the creation of the European Tourism Union. This policy shall facilitate tourism to align with the Digital Agenda and the European Green Deal.
To create the basis for a tourism common policy the preparatory action will explore options to develop different instruments as the followings: data basis for policymakers, sharing good practices, technical and administrative support for tourism SMEs, diversification of the European tourism product such as cultural and sustainable tourism, agrotourism, wildlife tourism, ecotourism, common rules for overtourism a crisis management mechanism, harmonising the national rules and legislation for all tourism activities including skills and qualifications, an European travel guarantee scheme, promoting the European brand in third countries
The actions include:
—
development of a tourism agenda based on the lessons drawn from deficiencies uncovered by the COVID-19 pandemic;
—
establishment of a code of good practices relating to hotels star rating systems;
—
increasing the consumers awareness on the inconsistencies between the hotel star rating systems and between the star rating and the quality of the services;
—
a common framework for online accommodation platforms related to the volume and format of the information provided by the stake holders;
—
a common framework for online accommodation platforms in order to allow consumers to combine the ratings and reviews and to compare different hotels;
—
an online tool to combine customer reviews and star ratings;
—
the establishment of a shared framework of criteria and procedures for a hotel star rating system stars at Union level;
—
the creation of a multi-stakeholder platform to allow customers to evaluate the quality of the offered services based on consumers review and rating schemes.

The Tourism of Tomorrow Lab (To of To Lab) aims at creating the ‘European business intelligence Centre for Tourism’. It is a public and private European partnership of regions, destinations, tech travel providers, travel companies and other agents. A cooperation platform among destinations and for European tourism stakeholders with data providers (big data, intermediaries).
Since the outbreak, this project is even more necessary in the situation of managing the pandemic impacts and recovery of tourism as well as the design of the post-pandemic tourism regeneration. Having the correct tools to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism sector, will allow destinations to prepare possible scenarios to be expected. Once the destinations understand the different situations ahead, it is useful to test the evolution of the main tourism origin markets and quickly detect signs of reactivation at a global level, national, regional or even local level.
Decision making process already integrates traditional data, however, still in a very limited way (for initial diagnosis, for a specific policy action, for a final analysis). Moreover, big data, involves high cost of many of the solutions available, requires a technical infrastructure and a high skilled technical team, not only for aggregating the great amount of data to be readable, but also data analysts that are able to make sense of this data. Big data is fragmented and requires an important normative work of conceptualization and measurement.
Most destination marketing organisations are engaged into a (commercial) relationship with big data players. The Tourism of Tomorrow Lab will complement and enrich these relations. Many different big data solutions are being implemented, but due to their cost, they are just ‘one -time’ experience, and many times they are not used to solve a real problem or to ask a specific question.
This preparatory action will support aggregation of fragmented data to produce reliable information in a coherent manner, so this data can be used for evidence-based policymaking.
As such, the To of To Lab will deliver services as a common data department for any destination involved in a cooperative manner. It will offer space for cooperative competition. It will not be a data warehouse where destinations can obtain any kind of big or traditional data, but a place where traditional data and big data make sense together in order to solve real life problems, to adapt to the European Green Deal, European Climate Law, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to become climate neutral by 2050.
Furthermore, the report on establishing a Union strategy for sustainable tourism adopted in March 2021 by the European Parliament asked for a European Agency for Tourism in the long-term and a short-term solution – creation of a tourism department in one of the existing executive agencies. The aim, among others, is to provide the Union and its Member States with data to allow them to implement informed strategies. This preparatory action is a first phase for the implementation of this objective. It is also in line with the European Data Strategy and the call for the Commission to incorporate tourism in the governance framework for common data spaces.
Thus, the preparatory action will consist of making possible to launch To of To Lab operationally:
1. Recruiting the team;
2. Gathering the users – investors and other public private players across destination marketing organisations and travel-tech players;
3. Ensuring the systematic connection with official statistic bodies to insert To of To Lab methodology in the Sustainable Tourism Measurement principles and European Tourism Indicators System already well established;
4. Creating a common methodology searching coherence and supporting destinations monitor SDGs and European Green Deal;
5. Implementing the methodology through a pilot exercise involving destinations and using real data.

A significant amount of public investment is spent through public procurement, and e-procurement was beneficial in fighting fraud, resulting in savings for all parties, increased transparency, and simplified and shortened processes. In this context, the creation of a European framework for enhancing transparency in public procurement would be a crucial step forward. Such a framework could be implemented through the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) website, which already allows access to public procurement notices and could become a valuable tool to analyse and expose procurement data (e.g. values of contracts awarded per country, per company, by sector of activity, etc.; number of bids per procedure; information about subcontracting, namely towards third countries).
This preparatory action will focus on improving data normalization, accessibility and transparency:
—
retrieving, processing and appropriately storing data contained in the notices published, for improved search and generation of predefined and customised reporting;
—
implementing user-friendly, clear and self-explanatory visualisation of relevant data in TED, using graphics, dynamic tools and machine translation;
—
further automating exchange and validation of data between national authorities and TED in order to limit discrepancies and errors, reduce red tape and facilitate reuse;
—
privileging the use of normalised information, i.e. predefined lists of values rather than free text descriptions, and promote the use of key identifiers, e.g. buyer, seller;
—
collecting expertise to find patterns and define rules to be used in building automated expert systems for infringement/fraud detection based on TED data;
—
gathering best practices regarding automatised data exchange in the procurement workflow within and between Member States, in cooperation with Member States administrations;
—
promoting innovative projects to increase the completeness, accuracy, accessibility and readability of TED data.

The proposed preparatory action intends to develop a methodology to measure the climate and environmental impact of the consensus mechanisms used by crypto-assets and assess the feasibility of establishing environmental sustainability standards for crypto-assets with a view to the adoption of future legislative action in the area of crypto-asset financial regulation.
The preparatory action is expected to focus on the following objectives:
(a) developing a robust science-based methodology to measure the climate and environmental impact of the consensus mechanism protocols used by crypto-assets, including qualitative criteria and quantitative estimates of the total amount of carbon emissions produced, the consumption of energy and resources, and the electronic waste produced by the entire network of a particular crypto-asset and by the crypto-asset ecosystem of that crypto-asset as a whole, on a global level;
(b) conducting a comprehensive mapping of consensus mechanisms used by crypto-assets and their classification in relation to their climate and environmental impact, including an analysis of potential trade-offs;
(c) assessing the broader impact on ESG factors, in particular the relevant environmental, economic and social externalities generated by crypto-mining, including impact on high-demand chip supply, noise pollution, consumption of scarce electricity as well as the impact and financial risks posed on European public power utilities;
(d) identifying sustainable alternative to crypto-mining in the market and best practices for the development of consensus mechanism protocols that are less energy intensive and do not cause any significant harm to the Union climate and environmental objectives and energy targets;
(e) outlining different policy options to mitigate the environmental impact of certain crypto-assets and to accelerate the adoption of alternative green solutions;
(f) assessing the feasibility of developing sustainability standards for crypto-assets.
For the purpose of developing the methodology and sustainability standards, special emphasis should be placed on various factors concerning the entire network of a crypto-asset, in particular the energy consumption, the use of real resources, the carbon footprint, any electronic waste produced by the use of hardware, the incentive structure and design of the protocol, the market capitalisation and scale of operation of the crypto-assets concerned.
The Commission should ensure that the contractor has all the necessary expertise and skills to implement the preparatory action and in particular to develop a science-based methodology. The Commission should also ensure that any contractors with existing or potential professionally conflicting interests are excluded from the procurement process.

This preparatory action proposes the creation of a European Capital of Small Retail (ECSR), based on the model of the European Capital of Smart Tourism. The idea was put forward by a petition to the European Parliament and is supported by unanimity of the Committee on Petitions.
The aim of the preparatory action is to promote the value and appreciation of small retail and to contribute to a collective awareness of its economic importance for local communities, notably in terms of employment, as well as its key role as part of the social fabric of urban and rural areas. It aims also to highlight the role of small retail in preserving the European way of life and the model, form and essence of cities and rural communities in the Union, and to demonstrate how small retail is an important part of the European identity.
The focus of this preparatory action is to go beyond awareness-raising and take actions that would have a lasting impact. The preparatory action should encourage small retail to digitalise and allow it to embrace digital tools for their own operations, in their business-to-business relationships and in their relationships with customers. The action should also support the green transition of small retail. With regard to all of these aspects, the creation of a ECSR should complement the Commission's #RevitaliseRetail initiative. On a larger scale, ECSR addresses the growing need to accelerate the green and digital transition of the Union’s economy, increase its resilience and support its competitiveness.
The title of a European Capital of Small Retail would be awarded periodically to one European city or more. The modalities of the selection process will be further elaborated.

Fire fatalities represent about 2 % of accidental deaths in the Union (Commission study to evaluate the need to regulate within the framework of Regulation (EU) 305/2011 on the toxicity of smoke produced by construction products in fires). An important data gap on fire safety and fire casualties in buildings, and a lack of Union data collection methodology, were identified by that Commission’s study. A fair and safe built environment is one of the building blocks of the Transition pathway for Construction presented by the Commission on 15 March 2023. The pathway acknowledges new types of fire risks brought by new materials, products, and technologies used for the green and digital transition. Fire safety is also an important consideration for the renovation wave and has been addressed by Directive 2018/844/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 amending Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency (
OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 75
). The lack of data is an obstacle for successful policies and a first big milestone to address this issue has been achieved by ‘EU FireStat’, a pilot project concluded in 2022. This preparatory action is a follow-up of the successful ‘EU FireStat’ pilot project to implement a Union harmonised approach for fire statistics.
The implementation of the pilot project PP 03 19 03 ‘Closing data gaps and paving the way for pan-European fire safety efforts’ (EU FireStat) made it possible to achieve all the assumed and strongly desired goals:
—
mapping the terminology used and the data collected by the Member States regarding fire events;
—
proposing a common terminology and method to collect the necessary data in each Member State with a view to obtain meaningful datasets (based on standardised terms and definitions).
The developed proposal of a Union harmonised approach for collecting fire statistics is supported by all fire professionals in the Union and relevant authorities from at least 19 Member States who have expressed interest in its implementation.
This preparatory action aims to support these authorities in testing the practical implementation and do the groundwork for the complete roll-out of the method and effective data collection at Union level. It will allow to identify the best measures and policies to improve the fire safety of Union citizens in relation with the different Union and national policies (still approximately 5 000 deaths and a multitude of injuries are recorded each year in the Member States in building fires).
The preparatory action will also enable support of the work of the Fire Information Exchange Platform (FIEP) run by the Commission, by sharing experiences, knowledge and best practices with regard to improving safety of the built environment all over Europe, and of the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network run by the Commission to share knowledge between all Member States and third countries involved in the Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
The preparatory action will fund the technical support to a set of Member States piloting the implementation of the EU FireStat methodology, the analysis of learnings and possible improvements to the methods, and the development of tools for data collection and consolidation. It will conclude with recommendations for:
—
the final Union harmonised methodology,
—
the roll out of the methodology in all Member States,
—
the consolidation and management of data at Union level.

The report on establishing a Union strategy for sustainable tourism adopted on 24 March 2021 by the European Parliament asked for the implementation of a Union tourism data space, which was also mentioned in the Tourism Transition Pathways delivered by the Commission.
In line with the preparatory action, entitled ‘Tourism of Tomorrow Lab’ (PA 03 22 05), this preparatory action aims to support destination management organisations, SMEs and other tourism stakeholders in fully participating in the preparation of the tourism data space and the tourism knowledge hub by easing their access through the creation of multiple tools. This project also takes into consideration the Skills Partnership for the Tourism Ecosystem. This objective could be seen as a first phase for the future implementation of a European Agency for Tourism.
In light of the above, this preparatory action intends to develop guidelines on how to participate and use the Tourism Knowledge hub and the Tourism data space.

Remarks
This preparatory action intends to support the fast development of game-changing innovations that have the potential to revolutionise the future of access to space and improve the competitiveness of the European space industry. Access to space is an indispensable element of the space ecosystem, without which there is no Union space policy, which supports many political priorities.
The preparatory action will focus on the following objectives:
—
enabling the development of game-changing innovations for European launch solutions while adopting an innovative implementation method, by supporting the different development cycles of technology and showing willingness to concretely use those technologies on future launchers;
—
facilitating industry’s initiative to propose disruptive technologies. The industry should propose innovative solutions for the next generation of cheaper, more sustainable, agile and resilient access to space. They should do so by focusing on ambitious innovations which are not yet available, and go beyond the state of the art in the international pipelines for access to space.
The preparatory action should be implemented through a progressive approach for competitive calls starting with a proof-of-concept phase in 2024.
In this first phase, the Commission should launch an open call to identify and attribute grants to perform a proof-of-concept study for each of the five most disruptive and game-changing innovations.
As a follow-up, a subsequent preparatory action could be considered in 2025, to select the best three innovations identified in the previous phase, and attribute grants for their technology development.
Currently, no dedicated Union programme for access to space exists, nor is there any such programme in the pipeline. Some access to space activities supporting research and innovation are implemented through the Horizon Europe programme. However, those actions do not support the full technology development cycle for access to space.
Having several technologies compete with each other would have added value as it would accompany the development and maturation of the most disruptive technologies all along the development cycle up to flight model delivery. This is not possible through current Horizon Europe programme and the Union Space Programme. This would ultimately prepare the groundwork for a possible future dedicated access to space programme or a dedicated component in the framework of the future Union space programme, identifying access to space as a key priority of the Union, benefiting both Union institutional and commercial users.

Remarks
This preparatory action is intended to enable timely adoption of the space secure connectivity services provided by IRIS
2
 and GOVSATCOM, filling the gap in Union industrial capability to develop high-performance, cheap and secure satellite user terminals.
The Union is currently implementing measures to provide governments and citizens with secure connectivity via satellite, through the Union secure connectivity programme (IRIS
2
) and the GOVSATCOM component of the Union Space Programme. These services will be based on a new generation of state-of-the-art satellites, using orbits, frequencies and signal characteristics that have not been used yet by European industry players. The effective utilisation of such services relies therefore on the prompt availability of user terminals and receivers that are compatible with such characteristics. Such terminals and receivers are particularly important for emerging SatCom Service, seamlessly combining terrestrial and SatCom capabilities, for example in the automotive sector.
The objective of this preparatory action is therefore to create the conditions for a competitive industry to develop terminals that can be commercialised with minimal additional effort, enabling production and market penetration with the utilisation of open standards.
In particular, the preparatory action will support companies in reaching maturity and having a solid business plan to provide high-performance, cheap and secure satellite user terminals. Such terminals would be able to:
—
integrate multiple systems and orbits, including non-geostationary satellites in LEO and possibly MEO;
—
use the IRIS
2
 frequencies (including Ka-gov);
—
suit both commercial and governmental services provided by IRIS
2
;
—
integrate terrestrial networks, 5G standards and possibly Internet of Things applications;
—
provide for end-to-end solutions;
—
adopt all IRIS
2
 secure features.
If successful and depending on the outcome of the first year of the preparatory action, the follow-up could be considered:
—
2024: EUR 5 million on the proof-of-concept and business case development phase;
—
2025: EUR 10 million on technology development for the prototype and qualification phase;
—
2026: EUR 10 million on industrialisation and commercial prototyping.
The beneficiaries of the action would notably be the Union downstream industry, including New Space players like SMEs and start-ups.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.
The preparatory action will fill the existing gap in communicating with young Europeans about Europe, by creating a truly transnational public media sphere and better portraying the sense of togetherness which is at the heart of European identity, reflected in a common culture, similar lifestyle and shared values. Existing policy is predominantly aimed at the bolstering and digital transformation of a struggling media sector severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The stated aims of the upcoming European Media Freedom Act include strengthening media independence and diversity. Support for the growth of media spaces generating European public exchange however remains limited, despite its importance and lack of tested viable initiatives.
In order to attract younger Europeans to European ideas and values and in order to truly empower European citizens through digital platforms, the preparatory action will support curated online spaces that gather thought-provoking journalistic content around topics relevant to their daily lives, empowering them to compare perspectives from across Europe and discuss and discover how their interests link to interests of young Europeans in other Member States.
The content will deal with topics that are of proven interest or concern for young Europeans, such as education and skills, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, gender and diversity as well as sustainability and climate change, a European peace and security architecture, foreign policy, democracy, and will be put into context in order to make it compelling and appealing to the target group. The European perspective is created by comparing and contrasting regional experiences and points of view on matters of pan-European importance. The aim is to address relevant topics of pan-European importance and at the same time give a forum to local perspectives, allowing young users to identify strongly with the content. The preparatory action will pay particular attention to addressing non-cosmopolitan audiences and young Europeans with fewer opportunities in their mother tongue.
This ambitious pan-European and multilingual initiative will strengthen the existing preparatory action, which stimulates offline and online, open, true, deep and constructive debates about current and future life in Europe among young Europeans. By using innovative formats on digital platforms, with the ultimate goal of creating greater awareness about European visions and realities and greater engagement of Europeans towards European values and ideas, the action and subsequently contributes to a more active civil society. The action plan to support recovery and transformation of the media and audio-visual sectors aims not least to promote collaborative and cross-border journalism, relying on the sharing and networking of best practices in this domain. The preparatory action is of great benefit to that aim, as it supports such best practices relating to cross-border cooperation and to innovation in the media sector.
Aligning with a multitude of Union objectives as well as building on existing initiatives, this preparatory action will fill the gap of decisively supporting the European public sphere by driving innovation in the European media space to stimulate a lasting debate on a common future among European youth.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.
The objective of this preparatory action is to continue to provide European fact-checking organisations with a concrete package of resources that can help them identify and debunk disinformation campaigns on online platforms via new, emerging technologies. Such disinformation campaigns are an increasing problem for European democracies. The scope of this preparatory action is wide and focusses on all disinformation campaigns that have an effect on public opinion but especially those focusing on climate and environmental issues and disasters and other emerging crises. This preparatory action builds on the results of other initiatives that foster the cooperation among fact-checking organisations in Europe such as the new European Fact-checking Standards Network (EFCSN, part of the ongoing pilot project PP 07 20 04 ‘Integrity of social media’, the pilot project ‘European Narratives Observatory’ (CNECT/2022/5162608) and the work of the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO-Smart 2019/1087). The preparatory action primarily focuses on fact-checking in relation to current and future emerging crises facing the Union, such as disinformation about climate change and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Additionally, this preparatory action also has a special focus on investigating and researching how new emerging technologies, such as chat-bots and other generative artificial intelligence, including large language models (LLMs), can be used to spread disinformation. Furthermore, this preparatory action aims to deliver resources on how European fact-checkers can limit the potential negative effects of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models spreading disinformation.
The preparatory action goes beyond easy-to-debunk claims like "climate change doesn’t exist" that are increasingly residual. It will focus on more complex narratives that are on the rise, such as disinformation about the Union, key political figures on European and national levels, proposed solutions (especially those carried out by individuals that imply a change of habits) or that are supported by an unreliable science.
The preparatory action aims to focus on the medium to long-term needs of the European fact-checking community and includes lessons from the most recent national and European elections in its resources and toolkits.
The preparatory action:
—
continue to assess the challenges and needs of Union fact-checkers to achieve near real-time debunking of disinformation campaigns, general crisis response and collecting lessons from recent crises;
—
assess the current and future disinformation threat from generative AI, including the existing chat-bots on the market, with a focus on how large language models can be leveraged by individuals, organisations or foreign states etc.;
—
provide fact-checkers with additional toolkits - packages of resources - that can help them boost their abilities to act urgently and in near real-time on disinformation campaigns and to boost their crisis-readiness and response;
—
provide additional training materials and courses on effective crisis communication;
—
provide additional guidance on how to build rapidly a community of experts and practitioners on a disinformation and crisis topic;
—
build on the mapping of the available fact-checking networks in the Union and contribute to resources on how to leverage them effectively in a crisis;
—
build on existing visualisation and other technical tools, e.g. showing spread of disinformation on a map, that can act as ready-made building blocks for fact-checker websites and communication tools (with due consideration for existing tools and avoiding duplication);
—
continually test the package of resources with a group of European fact-checkers using debunked disinformation campaigns and previous crises as an example;
—
provide fact-checkers with resources on how to mitigate the disinformation threats from generative AI and large language models.

New technologies are changing the opinion-making dynamics and the media landscape dramatically and constantly. They allow easy distribution of information of public interest to wider audiences, thus fostering plurality. That said, the way information is created, searched and distributed online, may also accentuate polarisation as people are exposed to news, sources and ideas that adhere to their expressed preferences. This, in combination with the profit driven platforms, which share data for purely commercial reasons, can significantly undermine the potential to encounter and debate opposing viewpoints, and, as such, may pose a risk for ethical journalism, media pluralism and European democracy itself.
At the same time, in the Union, journalists and other media actors can face violence, severe threats, harassment or public shaming because of their investigative activities which seek to protect the public interest from the misuse of power, corruption, human rights violations or criminal activities. According to the Council of Europe Platform for the Protection of Journalism and Safety of Journalists, state actors commit more than half of the cases of abuses against media professionals.
We are witnessing a tidal wave of disinformation and propaganda rapidly disseminated through the internet and other media. Given the social and political consequences, it is more crucial than ever that our citizens be critical users of both media and social media and acknowledge the importance of journalism as a cornerstone of democracy. It is necessary to invest adequate financial resources in media and digital literacy and in developing common Union strategies, with journalists, academics, international and civil society organisations. This should be done in order to empower citizens and online users to recognise and be aware of dubious sources of information and to spot and expose deliberately false content and propaganda.
The ‘European Festival of Journalism and Media Freedom’ (‘the Festival’) aims to reinforce dialogue, cooperation and partnership in the Union, especially among journalists, media outlets, civil society organisations and media literacy professionals, focusing on the crucial questions of our time. The ‘Festival’ should become a powerful tool to facilitate exchanges between media professionals from across Europe, and an occasion to raise awareness on the valuable but ever more difficult work of journalists and press freedom violations in the Union. The Festival should dedicate special focus to the role and work of journalists and it should represent an opportunity to reflect on the conditions under which journalists carry out their daily work, with a focus on psychological and physical aspects, as well as regulatory conditions.
Stronger Union support is pivotal at this time, especially in light of the recently agreed European Media Freedom Act, to promote media pluralism and support the sector of news media in its challenging transition in the digital environment.
By the time the Festival will have taken place, the European Media Freedom Act should enter into force, therefore the Festival would be the first occasion to discuss the effects of this specific piece of legislation, together with a broad representation of different actors affected by the regulatory system in place. In light of the above, stable financial support to this preparatory action would allow it to reach its full potential and achieve the expected results for the benefit of the media sector, in particular journalists.

Disinformation, distrust and polarisation are growing political and security challenges for the Union and this is set to worsen with new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools becoming readily available to a larger audience. The availability and quality of information is crucial for the effective functioning of society, especially in a time of crisis. A lot of false information is currently being spread in society, especially via social media. One of the main strategies for fighting fake news is debunking, which consists of confronting it with facts and accepted theories. Unfortunately, existing debunking strategies have proven very ineffective, especially because they do not work with individuals that have strong belief in false information.
Research shows that Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other influential social media provide a crucial boost for the international network of disinformation (Smith and Graham 2019). Feeding on fear and chaos, spreading fake news and misinterpreting the data, these agents are stronger than ever (Fernández-Luque and Bau 2015). However, social media provide not only a new set of tools for spreading disinformation but also a great weapon against it.
Recent research demonstrates the important role of narratives in framing facts and information in a package that can be easily transmitted across society and how studying narratives can be the key to better understanding how ideas spread across social media and why certain ideas take hold over others. As demonstrated by the pilot project European Narratives Observatory (CNECT/2022/5162608), the use of this methodology in understanding the flow of information and how narratives gain traction and spread, represents a valid scientific-based approach. This approach is to be integrated when elaborating policy actions around highly polarised matters and communications activity to inform society and therefore keep disinformation and misinformation at bay. Of particular note is the correlation between increased polarisation in a narrative community and the speed at which disinformation spreads within that community.
The preparatory action will support the European Narratives Observatory (‘the Observatory’) to monitor and analyse how new narratives are created and spread within European public discourse, decipher the emotional values that guide successful narratives, map sources and key actors active in the spreading of these narratives and develop recommendations for effective communication and policy.
The use of narrative understanding and analysis is nothing new – having been used very successfully by, for instance, Nelson Mandela in bridging the gap and creating understanding in apartheid South Africa – and the Observatory makes these analyses and understanding more broadly available by providing a value-free map of existing narrative communities and a key to better understanding why certain beliefs are held within certain communities. This makes it easier to communicate effectively and more difficult to spread disinformation.
The preparatory action will build on the networks of stakeholders and actors already established under the pilot project such as journalists, AI experts and the main fact-checker communities, such as the European Digital Media Observatory (EDMO), policy makers and policy actors in working sessions to identify ongoing narratives and develop new ones to combat fake news and disinformation, and so to expand areas of the research infrastructure. It will also keep building on the tools for policy-makers and key stakeholders on how insights from the Observatory can help reframe issues in a way that depolarises conversation and makes the narrative communities less receptive to disinformation.
Building on the work developed by the pilot project, the Observatory will strengthen the existing methodology to expand on the areas and languages analysed and be able to build stronger tools to support key stakeholders - including journalists, fact-checkers, policy-makers – in deploying the insights from the observatory in combatting disinformation and polarisation in public discourse. The current methodology first identifies the dominant narratives by combining natural language processing and more traditional methods of qualitative narratology. By using complex systems science, the Observatory then maps the dynamics of how narratives spread and develop and how the narrative communities interact. This illustrates in real time how narrative communities expand, which narratives grow and take root and how disinformation is deployed in this more complex environment. The third element of the methodology allows the assessment of the deeper correlations and patterns that can be observed with a view to understanding them in more detail.
Tools foreseen to be made fully available during the pilot project phase include: a rapid alert system, manuals to combat disinformation and polarisation and trainings for journalists, fact-checkers and stakeholders on how to better make use of insights from the narrative observatory. The preparatory action would expand on these tools and explore the possibilities offered by AI to further improve the suite of tools and analysis. Like the European Media Monitor, the Observatory provides daily analysis of how narratives and narratives communities spread and develop by monitoring hundreds of thousands of users and narratives across different languages, themes and platforms. It is intended to be a tool which bridges the misunderstandings between polarised communities and reduces the spread of disinformation. This might prove particularly relevant in a world where AI is rapidly expanding and threatening the health of our media ecosystem even more.
For instance, the work developed so far by the Observatory during its ongoing pilot project phase shows the impact of the global pandemic and the war in Ukraine on climate narratives. By working closely with a broad community of stakeholders (including journalists, fact-checkers and organisations working on climate change) the Observatory seeks to provide a number of tools and services to combat the spreading of disinformation on climate change by working with narratives. The Observatory is an additional very useful tool in the European toolbox to combat disinformation and polarisation.
Remembering the words of Ludwig Wittgenstein: ‘the world we see is defined and given meaning by the words we choose. In short, the world is what we make of it.’
Building on the work already developed during the pilot project phase – including the existing issue-specific areas of the observatory (including climate change, COVID-19 and migration), the tested methodology, the network of stakeholders, journalists and fact-checkers, and the suite of tools made available, the preparatory action would continue to coordinate with other existing European projects and infrastructures including the EDMO and SoBigData++ to ensure that there is no duplication of effort and that resources are devoted to supporting the investigative and research work and that the infrastructures and technical support available are used. The preparatory action will support action at national and multi-national level focused on detecting and analysing disinformation campaigns. The results of the preparatory action would be made available to other European and national projects and ensure sharing of best practices and recommendations for effective communication. The preparatory action will also continue to make available interactive databases where research findings on narratives and recommendations can be accessed by users and relevant stakeholders.

Natural and semi-natural grasslands are amongst the richest European ecosystems in terms of plant, insect and bird species diversity. Many Natura 2000 sites throughout the Union have been legally designated to maintain and restore this extraordinary grassland biodiversity and the ecosystem services that flow from them. Grasslands often depend on dedicated management regimes like mowing or grazing. Despite a high level of protection on paper and several successful conservation and restoration initiatives at local level, the biodiversity of Natura 2000 grasslands has suffered further declines over the last few decades. The key to turning this around is to maintain the necessary mowing and grazing practices, with low fertilizer input, at a landscape scale as part of sustainable and economically viable farming system.
The evolution of grassland cover in Natura 2000 is increasingly well monitored in certain parts of the Union. This information is still highly heterogeneous and often not easily accessible to the public. Moreover, data on relative effectiveness of Natura 2000 site management is largely lacking. The strengthened earth observation capacities of the Union through its COPERNICUS programme offer unprecedented observation potential to map and monitor land cover with high accuracy. The current Copernicus catalogue of land cover products for Natura 2000 is only updated once every six years and offers mostly generic land cover information that is predominately used by experts. As such, the potential to apply these observation capacities for grassland monitoring and management is not yet fully exploited.
First-phase: pilot project `Copernicus for Natura 2000`
In late 2019, the pilot project `Copernicus for Natura 2000` (COP4N2K) was launched to use Copernicus technology to better monitor Natura 2000 sites. This project created an automated model system for tracking the evolution of grassland cover in Europe’s Natura 2000 network on a yearly basis, producing detailed land cover maps since 1992 (when the Habitats Directive was adopted). Efforts are being made to ensure that a large audience, including Member States` administrations, protected area managers, land users and the general public, will be able to access and understand the provided grassland trends and its related indicators. All data are being made public through a dedicated online Viewer `EU Grassland Watch`.
Second-phase: preparatory action `EU Grassland Watch`
The first-phase pilot project was to come to an end in late-2021 with promising results. An interim evaluation made clear that a second-phase pilot support would be required to assure timely follow-up for full implementation and accessibility. The preparatory action will focus on four main items that need significant further development:
(1) The available resources in the first phase only covered half of all Natura 2000 sites with significant grassland occurrence. Scaling up will allow the completion of the (historical) picture of EU Natura 2000 grasslands.
(2) The quality of the available maps will benefit from recent improvements in identification of different grassland types and higher spatial resolutions.
(3) Information on the current grassland cover will also be further refined at site level by linking-up with existing administrative databases, such as national Land Parcel Identification Systems (LPIS). This will help inform appropriate site management.
(4) The preparatory action will help bring the geospatial information on grasslands closer to decision makers and other key stakeholders by (a) an interactive and regularly updated public website; and (b) a series of direct interactions (e.g. webinar training, site visits, etc.) with selected actors at national or regional levels. These initiatives could bridge technological gaps by helping stakeholders to understand the benefit of these tools and use the available information, and in turn share their practical needs to inform future developments.
The fully functional `EU Grassland Watch` can help the Union and its Member States to better monitor biodiversity, the pressures it faces and the sustainability of Natura 2000 protected grasslands. The increased transparency and accessibility will not only help to prevent future negative impacts, but also to reverse historical declines by identifying priority areas for grassland restoration.

The objective of this preparatory action is to support the development and deployment of a coordination centre for an EU Biodiversity Observation Network.
Biodiversity is fundamental to human well-being and a healthy planet yet it is declining faster than at any time in human history. The biosphere is being altered to an unparalleled degree, eroding the health of ecosystems and flow of ecosystem services, on which our very existence depends. The drivers behind this decline are anthropogenic, namely land and sea use, direct exploitation of organisms, climate change, pollution and invasion of alien species. Swift actions are needed to mitigate them and put biodiversity back on the path of recovery.
To bend the curve on global biodiversity loss, nearly 200 countries agreed in December 2022 on new biodiversity goals and targets, in the so-called Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The Union is firmly committed to leading by example. The global framework is well aligned with the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, and other key flagship initiatives of the European Green Deal.
The implementation of the biodiversity policy frameworks has to be well monitored, in order to ensure effective tracking of the progress towards the goals and targets. The robust policy monitoring will depend on the regular and frequent provision of high quality data and information, underpinned by a systematic field observation of biodiversity over a long time frame. This is not currently the case in the Union. Biodiversity data of good quality which is available at an adequate spatial and temporal scale is scarce, leading to significant knowledge gaps. While it clearly demonstrates the dire state of biodiversity in the Union, the existing data is insufficient to generate actionable knowledge – knowledge that enables development and deployment of well targeted actions to tackle the drivers of biodiversity loss, in a cost-effective manner and at different spatial scales.
Furthermore, biodiversity data collection is dispersed among a wide range of non-governmental organisations, public authorities, research networks and the private sector mainly for environmental impact assessments. Most biodiversity observation programmes do not have the necessary spatial and temporal resolution to assess the state and the trends of species and habitats and their dependence on the pressures exerted upon them. Moreover, there is no common objective or mandate across all the actors involved in the data collection, curation, modelling and use. The challenge is therefore also to harness scientific advances and bring together Member States, stakeholders, various institutions, and other organisations or initiatives to strengthen current efforts and devise a structured and cost-effective Union-level approach to biodiversity observation.
The EU Biodiversity Strategy put in place the Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD), with an aim to organise and mobilise existing knowledge in systematic monitoring of the policy implementation. However, no dedicated mechanism or instrument exists at Union level to coordinate and foster the generation and use of high quality data that underpins that biodiversity knowledge base and to provide guidance and trainings on the metrics to be used. This is a major bottleneck for an effective implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and Union commitments to the GBF, in particular for its mainstreaming goals.
More than ever, the Union needs to step up the efforts in raising the capacity for biodiversity observation. First steps have been taken through the Horizon 2020 project EuropaBON. This preparatory action proposes a design for a European Biodiversity Observation Network to monitor the status and trends of European biodiversity and ecosystems. It has identified (i) the key users’ needs, (ii) the major monitoring initiatives in place, (iii) the minimum list of essential biodiversity variables to be monitored, and (iv) the gaps and bottlenecks still hampering a fluid and functional biodiversity data collection and analysis flow in Europe. Besides data gaps, another major bottleneck is the use of existing data, which is not maximised. Integration of current biodiversity data flows across all variables and realms is insufficient. Relevant institutions often miss advanced statistical and modelling technical skills to coordinate such integration. Only half of the monitoring programmes evaluated by the EuropaBON project have partial automatisation and harmonisation of the data streams and, again, only half of them have sufficient data available to derive essential biodiversity variables. The EuropaBON project is also developing a blueprint for a so-called Union-level coordination centre that would help to address the identified shortcomings and underpin the implementation of the observation network,
The EuropaBON work is a welcome development in addressing deficiencies in securing high quality biodiversity data in the Union. However, no clear follow-up steps have been planned by the Commission to operationalise it by testing and piloting its outputs jointly with Member States, and to address options for a coordination centre or a virtual platform. The action is scheduled to finish in 2023, and it is essential to secure timely and ambitious follow-up in 2024 through this preparatory action, in order to put concrete solutions in place and secure adequate data for the assessment of implementation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy.
The preparatory action will address the urgent need for coordination, integration, harmonisation and strengthening of biodiversity data collection and analysis, in order to inform policymaking at local, national, European and international level. The preparatory action will focus on the operationalisation of a set of biodiversity variables with a direct application in policy and decision-making. This will include capacity building, including professional taxonomic expertise and citizen science.
The preparatory action will contribute to development of the entire data-to-knowledge chain based on direct observations and transparent scientific approaches, and it will prove the added value of investing in clear access and coordination of biodiversity data. It will serve a more robust implementation and impact assessment of public policies, and the elimination of certain barriers for investors and firms to identify nature positive capital flows.
The aim is to exploit the full potential of biodiversity-related data in Europe by (a) bringing together, augmenting, empowering and coordinating existing observation schemes, (b) assimilating and harmonising Union, national and local data, and (c) helping design new (standardised) observation schemes to fill data gaps.
Specifically, the preparatory action will support the following activities:
—
piloting and testing a Union biodiversity observation service, featuring key functions and services as proposed under the EuropaBON project, by building on, connecting and reinforcing existing institutions, and thereby contributing to the development of the Global Knowledge Support Service for Biodiversity (GKSSB) adopted at the Convention on Biological Diversity COP15;
—
implementing workflows that deliver harmonized Union-wide biodiversity data necessary to build policy-relevant indicators (see EU dashboard and global monitoring framework for the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework);
—
providing technical assistance to Member States regarding the implementation of the biodiversity observation network proposed by the EuropaBON project and contributing to the GKSSB;
—
building capacity for biodiversity observation by providing trainings for taxonomic experts and strengthening citizen science networks (to be shared with the GKSSB).
Besides EuropaBON, this preparatory action will also build on and contribute to other relevant Horizon projects as well as the pilot project ‘Assessing Butterflies in Europe’ and the preparatory action PA 09 20 01 ‘EU pollinator monitoring and indicators’. It will be implemented in close collaboration with the KCBD and the European Environment Agency.

OTHER ANNEXES
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
Under the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area, the EEA EFTA States take part in a wide range of Union policies covered by heading 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 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 EEA EFTA State by the gross domestic product at market prices of all the Member States plus that of the EEA EFTA State concerned.
For 2024 the proportionality factor is estimated at 3,58 % (on the basis of 2022 figures), i.e. 3,37 % for Norway, 0,17 % for Iceland and 0,04 % for Liechtenstein. For budget lines that only cover payments on commitments of the previous programming period, the factor is estimated at 3,04 % (on the basis of 2022 figures), i.e. 2,86 % for Norway, 0,14 % for Iceland and 0,04 % for Liechtenstein.
These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EEA 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 EEA EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2024 is estimated at about EUR 834 336 758 in commitment appropriations. The EEA EFTA States will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies.

EXTERNAL ASSIGNED REVENUE UNDER THE EUROPEAN UNION RECOVERY INSTRUMENT
NextGenerationEU is an exceptional and temporary recovery financing mechanism. The financing is enabled by Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053, which empowers the Commission to borrow up to EUR 807 billion (or EUR 750 billion in 2018 prices) on behalf of the Union, for recovery measures linked to commitments over the period 2021-2024. EUR 421,1 billion (EUR 390 billion in 2018 prices) will be made available to Member States under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) for non-repayable support, repayable support through financial instruments or for provisioning for budgetary guarantees and related expenditure. A further EUR 391,0 billion (EUR 360 billion in 2018 prices) will be made available in the form of loans of which EUR 225,6 billion in 2024. The necessary appropriations to cover the cost of the NextGenerationEU are provided in sub-heading 2b 
Resilience and Values
.
The implementation of the NextGenerationEU is now fully underway and many more disbursements are expected as we move towards the second half of the RRF’s lifetime. Overall amounts have been committed until the end of 2023 while payments shall be made until the end of 2026. One exception though, appropriations for technical and administrative assistance for the implementation of the measures under NextGenerationEU can be committed up to 2027.
Contributions from NextGenerationEU in 2024 are planned to provide an additional EUR 0,04 billion in commitment appropriations, whereas payments are estimated at EUR 97,1 billion. The majority of payments (EUR 75,6 billion, based on current information) reflect the estimated payments for the RRF. The overview of the planned commitment tranches over the full MFF period are included for information in the financial programming section. The total amounts available and the planned annual instalments are included in the budgetary remarks of the relevant budget lines, in line with Articles 21 and 22 of the Financial Regulation. This Annex includes a full overview of all budget lines and amounts concerned as laid down in point 41 of the Annex to the Interinstitutional Agreement.

BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS — BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE UNION BUDGET (BY WAY OF INDICATION)
A.   
INTRODUCTION
This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 52(1) and the reporting requirements laid down in Article 52(1), point (d)(iii), of the Financial Regulation.
This Annex provides an overview of the borrowing-and-lending activities focusing on the use of proceeds for loan disbursements. In terms of the impact to the Union budget these lending operations give rise to lending (loans), financial liabilities (borrowings) and contingent liabilities.
Budgetary guarantees, i.e. guarantees provided to different implementing partners under the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) and external lending mandates, are not presented in this Annex. Additional information on these instruments, their operations and effects on the Union budget are provided in the corresponding working document attached to the draft budget pursuant to Article 41(5) of the Financial Regulation. Additionally, an overarching overview and headroom assessment is provided in the specific annual report pursuant to Article 250 of the Financial Regulation.
In addition, financial liabilities borne by the Union budget as a result of borrowing operations financing non-repayable support under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) as well as the use of borrowing proceeds for the financing of other Union programmes under NextGenerationEU are covered in detail in this Annex.
This Annex provides in particular an overview of the amount and composition of borrowing activities and associated disbursements of loans as of 31 December 2022.
There are two main types of loans (lending) financed through borrowing-and-lending operations:
—
Loans to provide financial assistance to third countries
 (i.e. macro-financial assistance programme (MFA) loans and Euratom loans to third countries); and
—
Loans to provide financial assistance to Member States
 (i.e. Balance of Payments (BoP) loans, European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM) loans, Euratom loans, SURE loans, RRF loans).
As of 31 December 2022, all loans to third countries were financed through ‘back-to-back’ borrowing operations. The same funding approach applied to the financing of loans under BoP loans, EFSM loans, Euratom loans and SURE loans. Under back-to-back financing, each loan is funded with a corresponding EU bond that fully matches the Union loan in terms of its maturity, interest rate and repayment schedule. The liability for the Union is contingent, because the beneficiary country is contractually obliged to provide the revenue flow to repay the EU bonds. So, no outflow of Union resources is in principle required to settle the debt of the Union. Thus, the Union budget includes only the contingent liabilities associated to the guarantee on the EU bonds, while loans and financial liabilities are netted as fully matched in terms of size, maturity etc.
RRF loans are in contrast financed through a diversified funding strategy, which delinks the disbursement of loans to a Member State from the issuance of the EU bonds. In December 2022 and in accordance with Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2022/2434 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 December 2022 amending Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 as regards the establishment of a diversified funding strategy as a general borrowing method (
OJ L 319, 13.12.2022, p. 1
), this diversified funding approach was extended to also cover programmes of financial assistance for which the basic acts entered into force on or after 9 November 2022 (with back-to-back lending possible in duly justified cases). The MFA+ instrument for Ukraine (which came into force on 14 December 2022) was the first programme to which this diversified funding approach was extended. Similar to the ‘back-to-back approach’, the repayments by the beneficiaries are again used under this approach to service the debt of the Union, giving rise to contingent liabilities. However due to the delinking of the loan disbursements from the issuance of the EU bonds these types of operations also give rise to financial liabilities in the Union budget.
Whether or not these contingent liabilities result in actual losses, and the size of any such losses, will depend on future events which are difficult to predict.
For loans granted, the total outstanding nominal amount on 31 December 2022 was EUR 205 300 672 506, of which a total of EUR 190 037 672 506 referred to operations inside the Union and EUR 15 263 000 000 outside the Union. Consequently, the gross carrying amounts of outstanding operations covered by the Union budget totalled EUR 206 514 381 972 (nominal amounts including accrued interest and amortised costs) of which a total of EUR 191 284 609 206 referred to operations inside the Union and EUR 15 229 772 766 outside the Union. For those loans granted outside the Union, the expected credit loss recognised in the Union’s financial statements on 31 December 2022 amounts to EUR 2 411 241 792,66. The expected credit loss is not reflected in the gross carrying amount of the loans.
For borrowing operations, the total outstanding nominal amount on 31 December 2022 was 347 981 300 000 of which a total of EUR 160 144 300 000 was financed under back-to-back operations and EUR 187 837 000 000 was financed under the diversified funding approach used to finance loans and non-repayable support under NextGenerationEU 
(
71
)
. Consequently, the outstanding operations covered by the Union budget totalled EUR 344 302 743 201 (nominal amount including accrued interest and amortised costs), of which a total of EUR 329 072 970 436 referred to operations inside the Union and EUR 15 229 772 766 outside the Union.

The interest payments and redemptions for debt related to loans under MFA+ to Ukraine will in principle be covered by the loan beneficiary (Ukraine). However, Ukraine may request an interest rate subsidy and the coverage of related administrative costs each year. This request must be made by end of February of the preceding year. If the request is made, the interest rate subsidy will be covered by contributions from Member States through external assigned revenues, and the administrative costs will be covered by the Union budget. In the event that Ukraine does not meet its scheduled payment obligations, the payments for the Union’s debt securities related to MFA+ will be covered by the available headroom under the permanent own resources ceiling of the Union budget

Technical notes on tables
Exchange rate: the amounts in column 2 ‘Equivalent at date of disbursement’ 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 on 31 December 2022.
Column 3 ‘Initial amount paid up to 31 December 2022
                           ’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2021 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).
Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding on 31 December 2022
                           ’: 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 2022, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).
Column 15 = column 4 – column 5.
Column 16 = column 4 – column 5 – column 6.
MFA 2011: following the loan agreement signed by Montenegro on 9 February 2010 pursuant to Council Decision 2008/784/EC of 2 October 2008 establishing a separate liability of Montenegro, and reducing proportionally the liability of Serbia with regard to the long-term loans granted by the Community to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) pursuant to Decisions 2001/549/EC and 2002/882/EC (
OJ L 269, 10.10.2008, p. 8
), the loans initially granted to Serbia and Montenegro in 2001, 2003 and 2005 have been re-initiated with a virtual starting date in 2011 in order to implement the splitting of the countries.

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
), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (
OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10
) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (
OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1
), any defaults are covered by that fund within the limit of the amount available. Pursuant to Article 32(9) of Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2021 establishing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe, amending and repealing Decision No 466/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EU) 2017/1601 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (
OJ L 209, 14.6.2021, p. 1
). the net assets on 31 July 2021 of the Guarantee fund for external actions were to be transferred into the common provisioning fund. That transfer took place on 1 August 2021.
The effect on the budget is thus limited to one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Guarantee Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations.
In the event of defaults by loan beneficiaries, the payments for Union debt related to MFA are covered up to a level of 9 % of the total amount due by the common provisioning fund. In the event that the common provisioning fund is fully used up, the Union budget must replenish the provisioning fund to the minimum provisioning rate of 9 %.

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
), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (
OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10
) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (
OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1
), any defaults are covered by that fund within the limit of the amount available. Pursuant to Article 32(9) of Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2021 establishing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe, amending and repealing Decision No 466/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EU) 2017/1601 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (
OJ L 209, 14.6.2021, p. 1
). the net assets on 31 July 2021 of the Guarantee fund for external actions were to be transferred into the common provisioning fund. That transfer took place on 1 August 2021.
Pursuant to Article 212(1) of the Financial Regulation the provisions made to cover the financial liabilities arising from financial instruments, budgetary guarantees or financial assistance shall be held in a common provisioning fund (CPF).
The effect on the budget is thus limited to one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from each relevant compartment of the CPF to maintain its target amount.
In the event of defaults by loan beneficiaries, the payments for Union debt related to MFA are covered up to a level of 9 % of the total amount due by the common provisioning fund. In the event that the common provisioning fund is fully used up, the Union budget must replenish the provisioning fund to the minimum provisioning rate of 9 %.
The macro-financial assistance of up to EUR 1 billion under Decision (EU) 2022/1201 and of up to 5 billion under Decision (EU) 2022/1628 constitutes a financial liability for the Union within the overall volume of the External Action Guarantee under Regulation (EU) 2021/947.
The total amount of up to EUR 6 billion of Union’s exceptional macro-financial assistance loans to Ukraine under Decisions (EU) 2022/1201 and (EU) 2022/1628 benefits from 9 % of paid-in provisioning available for macro- financial assistance loans under the External Action Guarantee and from guarantees from Member States (up to 61 %). The amount of provisioning shall be financed from the financial envelope programmed for macro-financial assistance under Regulation (EU) 2021/947 for a total amount of EUR 540 million. That amount shall be committed and paid into the common provisioning fund under the multiannual financial framework 2021–2027, laid down in Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 of 17 December 2020 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 (
OJ L 433 I, 22.12.2020, p. 11
). In addition, during the period from 2021 to 2027, following request by Ukraine, the interest rate subsidy for the loans under these Decisions shall be borne by the financial envelope referred to in Article 6(2), point (a), first indent, of Regulation (EU) 2021/947.
As regards the coverage of the financial liability arising from the EUR 18 billion of support in the form of loans to Ukraine for 2023 through the MFA + instrument, Regulation (EU Euratom) 2020/2093 has been amended to allow, as a guarantee, the mobilisation of budgetary resources over and above the multiannual financial framework ceilings and up to the limits of the ceilings referred to in Article 3(1) and (2) of Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 of 14 December 2020 on the system of own resources of the European Union and repealing Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom (
OJ L 424, 15.12.2020, p. 1
). In addition, for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2027, that Regulation provides for an interest rate subsidy by the Union for the loans under that Regulation. Member States may provide contributions to the interest rate subsidy. These contributions shall constitute external assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21(2), point (a)(ii), of the Financial Regulation.

Pursuant to Article 32(9) of Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2021 establishing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe, amending and repealing Decision No 466/2014/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EU) 2017/1601 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (
OJ L 209, 14.6.2021, p. 1
) which replaced Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009, the net assets on 31 July 2021 of the Guarantee fund for external actions were to be transferred into the common provisioning fund. That transfer took place on 1 August 2021.
The effect on the budget is thus limited to one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Guarantee Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations.
In the event of defaults by loan beneficiaries, the payments for Union debt related to MFA are covered up to a level of 9 % of the total amount due by the common provisioning fund. In the event that the common provisioning fund is fully used up, the Union budget must replenish the provisioning fund to the minimum provisioning rate of 9 %.
From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Article 1, third paragraph, of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94) and are therefore covered directly by the Union budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

SINGLE FACILITY PROVIDING MEDIUM-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBER STATES’ BALANCES OF PAYMENTS
1.   
Legal basis
Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (
OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1
).
Council Decision 2009/290/EC of 20 January 2009 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia (
OJ L 79, 25.3.2009, p. 39

OJ L 150, 13.6.2009, p. 8
).
2.   
Description
In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member States which have not adopted the euro may benefit from this facility. The outstanding amount of loans was limited to EUR 12 000 000 000 in principal.
On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 25 000 000 000.
On 20 January 2009, the Council decided to provide Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 3 100 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 7 years.
On 6 May 2009, the Council decided to provide Community medium-term financial assistance for Romania in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 5 000 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 5 years.
On 18 May 2009, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 50 000 000 000.
3.   
Effect on the budget
Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the Union budget only in the highly unlikely event that a Member State does not meet its scheduled payment obligations, whereby the payments for the Union’s debt securities related to BoP will be covered by the available headroom under the permanent own resources ceiling. As of 31 December 2022, the outstanding capital amount under this instrument is EUR 200 000 000.

2.   
Description
Article 122(2) TFEU 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 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 ceiling for payment appropriations.
This item constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the Union. It will enable the Commission to service the debt should debtors default.
In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources (
OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1
) shall apply.
On 7 December 2010, the Union decided to make available to Ireland a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 22 500 000 000, with a maximum average maturity of 7,5 years (
OJ L 30, 4.2.2011, p. 34
).
On 30 May 2011, the Union decided to make available to Portugal a loan amounting to a maximum of EUR 26 000 000 000 (
OJ L 159, 17.6.2011, p. 88
).
On 11 October 2011, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decisions 2011/77/EU and 2011/344/EU by extending the maturities and applying the reduction of the interest rate margin to all the tranches that have already been disbursed (Implementing Decisions 2011/682/EU and 2011/683/EU).
On 21 June 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the average loan maturity and providing the possibility to extend instalment maturities at the request of Ireland (Implementing Decision 2013/313/EU).
On 21 June 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the average loan maturity and providing the possibility to extend instalment maturities at the request of Portugal. In addition, measures to be adopted by the country in line with specification in the Memorandum of Understanding were specified (Implementing Decision 2013/323/EU).
On 22 October 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the availability of the financial assistance granted to Ireland (Implementing Decision 2013/525/EU).

Effect on the budget
Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only in the highly unlikely event that a Member State does not meet its scheduled payment obligations, whereby the payments for the Union’s debt securities related to EFSM will be covered by the available headroom under the permanent own resources ceiling. On 31 December 2022, the outstanding capital amount under this instrument is EUR 46 300 000 000.

OJ L 314, 29.9.2020, p. 63
).
2.   
Description
Article 122(1) TFEU allows the Council to decide, on a proposal from the Commission and in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, upon the measures appropriate to respond to the socio-economic situation following the COVID-19 outbreak.
Article 122(2) TFEU enables the Council to grant Union financial assistance to a Member State that is in difficulties or is seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused by exceptional occurrences beyond its control.
The creation of a European instrument for temporary support to mitigate unemployment risks in an emergency (SURE) following the COVID-19 outbreak should enable the Union to respond to the crisis in the labour market in a coordinated, rapid and effective manner and in a spirit of solidarity among Member States, thereby alleviating the impact on employment for individuals and the most affected economic sectors and mitigating the direct effects of this exceptional situation on public expenditure by the Member States.
Article 220(1) of the Financial Regulation states that financial assistance by the Union to Member States can take the form of a loan. Such loans should be granted to Member States where the COVID-19 outbreak has led to a sudden and severe increase, as from 1 February 2020, in actual and possibly also planned public expenditure due to national measures. That date ensures equal treatment for all Member States and allows for coverage of their actual and possibly also planned increases in spending relating to the effects on the labour markets of the Member States, irrespective of when the COVID-19 outbreak occurred in each specific Member State. The national measures, which are understood to be in line with the relevant fundamental rights principles, should be directly related to the creation or extension of short-time work schemes and to similar measures, including measures for self-employed persons, or to some health-related measures. Short-time work schemes are public programmes that in certain circumstances allow businesses experiencing economic difficulties to temporarily reduce the hours worked by their employees, who are provided with public income support for the hours not worked.
Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2020/672 states that the maximum amount of financial assistance shall not exceed EUR 100 000 000 000 for all Member States.
3.   
Effect on the budget
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a massive and disruptive impact on the economic system of each Member State. It therefore calls for collective contributions by Member States in the form of guarantees supporting the loans from the Union budget. Such guarantees are necessary to enable the Union to grant loans of a sufficient order of magnitude to Member States in order to support labour market policies which are under the greatest strain. To ensure that the contingent liability arising from such loans is compatible with the applicable multiannual financial framework and own-resources ceilings, the guarantees provided by the Member States are irrevocable, unconditional and on demand, while additional safeguards should enhance the robustness of the system. In line with the complementary role of such guarantees, and without prejudice to their irrevocable, unconditional and on-demand nature, the Commission is expected, before calling on the guarantees provided by Member States, to draw on the margin available under the own-resources ceiling for payment appropriations to the extent that it is deemed sustainable by the Commission, having regard, inter alia, to the total contingent liabilities of the Union, including under the balance of payments facility established by Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (
OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1
). In the relevant call on guarantees, the Commission should inform the Member States about the extent to which the available margin has been drawn. The need for guarantees provided by Member States may be reviewed if an agreement on a revised own-resources ceiling is reached.
Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only in the highly unlikely event that Member States default, whereby the payments for Union debt related to SURE will be covered by the available headroom under the permanent own resources ceiling of the Union budget, as well as the 25% guarantee provided by all Member States. As of 31 December 2022, the outstanding capital amount under this instrument is EUR 98 355 000 000.

2.   
Description
The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a widespread and severe public health crisis. It severely affects citizens, societies and economies worldwide. The extent of the health crisis and the policy responses taken to control it are unprecedented.
A comprehensive plan for European recovery has called for massive public and private investment at European level to set the Union firmly on the path to a sustainable and resilient recovery, creating high-quality jobs and repairing the immediate damage brought by the COVID-19 pandemic whilst supporting the Union’s green and digital priorities. To provide the financing for Regulation (EU) 2020/2094, the Commission proposed an amendment to Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 which has authorised the Union to borrow temporarily and exceptionally an amount of EUR 750 billion in 2018 prices, to increase the own resources ceiling to accommodate the liabilities and contingent liabilities for loans to the Member States. Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 determines the allocation of funds to different Union programmes in line with the strategy set out in the European Union Recovery Plan.
Up to EUR 384,4 billion in 2018 prices may be used for non-repayable support and repayable support through financial instruments.
Up to EUR 360 billion in 2018 prices may be used to provide loans to Member States 
(
76
)
. The Union will bear contingent liability in the form of a guarantee for those loans until they are repaid.
Up to EUR 5,6 billion in 2018 prices may be used for provisioning for budgetary guarantees and related expenditure.
The European Union Recovery Instrument provides funding for measures and actions to be carried out as outlined in the European Union Recovery Plan. The resources raised through the issuance are to finance the following measures: (a) measures to restore employment and job creation; (b) measures in the form of reforms and investments to reinvigorate the potential for sustainable growth and employment in order to strengthen cohesion among Member States and increase their resilience; (c) measures for businesses affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis, in particular measures that benefit small and medium-sized enterprises as well as support for investment in activities that are essential for strengthening sustainable growth in the Union, including direct financial investment in enterprises; (d) measures for research and innovation in response to the COVID-19 crisis; (e) measures for increasing the level of the Union’s crisis preparedness and enabling a quick and effective Union response in the event of major emergencies, including measures such as stockpiling of essential supplies and medical equipment and acquiring the necessary infrastructures for rapid crisis response; (f) measures to ensure that a just transition to a climate-neutral economy will not be undermined by the COVID-19 crisis; (g) measures to address the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on agriculture and rural development.
With respect to the allocation of the funds, up to EUR 384 400 million in 2018 prices in the form of non-repayable support and repayable support through financial instruments are to be allocated as follows: (i) up to EUR 47 500 million in 2018 prices for structural and cohesion programmes of the multiannual financial framework 2014-2020 as reinforced until 2022, including support through financial instruments; (ii) up to EUR 312 500 million in 2018 prices for a programme financing recovery and economic and social resilience via support to reforms and investments; (iii) up to EUR 1 900 million in 2018 prices for programmes related to civil protection; (iv) up to EUR 5 000 million in 2018 prices for programmes related to research and innovation, including support through financial instruments; (v) up to EUR 10 000 million in 2018 prices for programmes supporting territories in their transition towards a climate-neutral economy; (vi) up to EUR 7 500 million in 2018 prices for development in rural areas.
In addition, up to EUR 360 000 million in 2018 prices are to be allocated in loans to Member States for a programme financing recovery and economic and social resilience via support to reforms and investments and up to EUR 5 600 million in 2018 prices are to be allocated for provisioning for budgetary guarantees and related expenditure for programmes aiming at supporting investment operations in the field of Union internal policies.
The actions and measures will be carried out in accordance with the conditions laid down in the basic acts establishing the policy instruments. This is why the Commission presented in parallel the necessary legislative proposals ensuring that those policy instruments can receive external assigned revenues resulting from the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2020/2094.
3.   
Effect on the budget
Regulation (EU) 2020/2094 provides financial support from external assigned revenue from the Union’s borrowing authorised under Article 5 of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 for non-repayable support, repayable support through financial instruments and for provisioning for budgetary guarantees and related expenditure. This entails the need to foresee commitment and payment appropriations to cover amounts falling due for the borrowing (for coupon payments and redemptions at maturity). No new net borrowing will take place after 2026. The repayment of the funds has been scheduled in accordance with the principle of sound financial management, so as to ensure the steady and predictable reduction of liabilities. All liabilities are scheduled to be fully repaid at the latest by 31 December 2058. The necessary appropriations foreseen in the MFF financial programming to cover potential coupon payments over the period 2021-2027 are compatible with the Multiannual Financial Framework, and in particular Heading 2 ‘Cohesion, Resilience and Values’ (excluding ‘Economic, Social and Territorial Cohesion’). Future Multiannual Financial Frameworks will need to provide the necessary appropriations to cover coupon payments and redemptions at maturity. Loans will be repaid by the beneficiary Member States and the Union will bear only contingent liability compatible with the specific own resources ceiling.
For the borrowing, the Union counts on its high credit rating to get favourable financial terms. To protect this rating, the Union has used the Union budget headroom as a guarantee, in accordance with Article 6 of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053. The headroom is the difference between the maximum amount of revenue that the Union can raise for the Union budget and the actual spending from the Union budget. It therefore guarantees that the Union can always deliver on its commitments, no matter the circumstances. To guarantee the borrowing under NextGenerationEU, the Union has a headroom that is 0,6 percentage points higher than the standard one, for the period until 2058.
NOMENCLATURE CHANGES
Introduction to the nomenclature
The nomenclature for the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027, as decided following the adoption of the 2021 Union budget, allows for clearer, more informative and better aligned links between the MFF headings and programmes.
Since the 2021 Union budget and in line with the political agreement on the MFF 2021-2027, the budget nomenclature is structured by programme cluster (policy area) corresponding to the ‘purpose’ within the meaning of Article 47 of the Financial Regulation.
The first 15 titles correspond to the programme clusters within MFF headings 1 to 6 as presented in the MFF 2021-2027 proposals of May 2018 and 2020. Title 16 includes expenditure outside the annual ceilings set out in the MFF, mainly special instruments.
Within these first 16 titles, the structure in chapters has been harmonised as follows:
—
Chapter 01 groups the support expenditure financed from the envelopes of the programmes included in the title as requested by the Financial Regulation.
The support expenditure of each programme is classified in articles (and further broken down to item level where necessary) following the sequence of the operational chapters.
The operating subsidies of executive agencies charged to the envelopes of the programmes delegated to them are presented under standardised items allowing them to be easily identified across the whole nomenclature: XX 01 XX 7X.
—
Chapters 02 to 07 (number varying from one title to another) group the operational expenditure of the programmes included in the title, broken down in articles (and items) that correspond to the specific objectives defined in the sectoral legal bases;
—
Chapter 10 groups the Union contributions to the decentralised agencies included in the title;
—
Chapter 20 groups the following types of expenditure:
—
Article 01 includes the total expenditure of the pilot projects of the title;
—
Article 02 includes the total expenditure of the preparatory actions of the title;
—
Article 03 includes expenditure that is not part of a programme but for which a basic act exists;
—
Article 04 includes the expenditure relating to actions financed under the prerogatives of the Commission and specific powers conferred on the Commission.
Title 20 includes the administrative expenditure of the Commission and Title 21 the pensions (of former staff and members of all Union institutions) and the contributions to the European Schools. These two titles include the expenditure falling under the MFF heading 7 ‘European Public Administration’.
Finally, Title 30 constitutes the ‘provisions’ title foreseen in Article 49 of the Financial Regulation.
Two complementary nomenclatures
The main nomenclature of the Commission is complemented by two nomenclatures under Annexes 1 and 2 of this section:
—
in accordance with Article 65 of the Financial Regulation, Annex 1 sets out in further detail the expenditure of the six offices (O1 to O6). That annex follows a structure by office similar to Title 20 of the main nomenclature where the total expenditure of each office is entered into specific budget lines (under Chapter 3);
—
Annex 2 presents each individual ongoing pilot project and preparatory action with the following standardised structure:
—
a separate title is provided for the pilot projects ‘PP’ and for the preparatory actions ‘PA’;
—
within each of these two titles, chapters corresponding to the programme cluster from which pilot projects and preparatory actions are financed.

A programme involving local and regional politicians should be implemented by the European Committee of the Regions as the competent Union body.

  Under the diversified funding strategy in view of the delinking of disbursements from the issuance of EU bonds proceeds are allocated to a central funding pool before being allocated to relevant programmes including RRF loans, RRF grants, support to Union’s budget programmes and since January 2023 - MFA+ loans.

  The own resources ceiling is the maximum amount of resources that the Commission can ask Member States to contribute in a given year. Currently, this ceiling stands at 1,4 % of EU gross national income (GNI). The available headroom under the own resources ceiling is the difference between this ceiling and the funds that the Union actually needs to cover the expenses foreseen by the Union budget in a given year.
(
73
)
  The common provisioning fund holds safety buffers for several funding programmes, such as the MFA to third countries. The fund is financed from the Union budget, within the expenditure ceiling of the MFF. As a general rule, for any lending to a third country, the Union budget contributes 9 % of the amount lent to the common provisioning fund. This contribution serves as coverage. Further guarantees may be added on top of this contribution in case additional protection is needed.
(
74
)
  To ensure the Union’s ability to repay the funds borrowed on capital markets or from financial institutions, Member States may provide guarantees for loans to Member States and to third countries with an increased credit risk. Such additional layers of protection are provided for in the basic acts by which the legislator authorises Union’s financial assistance programmes.
(
75
)
  Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 provides for a temporary increase of the own resources ceiling by 0,6 percentage points of EU GNI. Those 0,6 percentage points of the Union’s GNI are available for a limited time, and will only be used in the context of the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. This increase in the own resources ceiling will expire when all funds have been repaid and all liabilities associated with NextGenerationEU have ceased to exist.
