Having regard to the resolution adopted by Parliament on 22 October 2009 on the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010, Section III — Commission, and Letter of amendment No 1/2010 to the draft general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2010,

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

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

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

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

Whereas:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DECLARES:

Sole Article

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

Done at Strasbourg, 17 December 2009.

A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 141452827822 in commitment appropriations and EUR 122937000000 in payment appropriations, representing a growth rate of 3,57 % and of 8,76 % respectively by comparison with the 2009 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 122937000000. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden for which the rate of call has been fixed at 0,225 %, 0,15 %, 0,10 % and 0,10 % respectively) whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,7894 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 11,55 % of the financing of the budget for 2010. The VAT resource accounts for 11,35 % and the GNI resource for 75,94 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1430296272.

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

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

New content for former Article 1 1 0 (joining of former Articles 1 1 0, 1 1 2, 1 1 5 and 1 1 6)

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

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

Figures are net of collection costs.

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

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2008 will be used for research in 2010. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2010 comes to EUR 53859500.

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

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

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2008 will be used for research in 2010. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2010 comes to EUR 53859500.

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

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

Remarks

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

It is directly linked to the implementation by the recipient countries of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. Community/EU action generally complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

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

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover financial aid for the reconstruction in Georgia of the areas affected by the conflict with Russia. The actions should be primarily geared to the macroeconomic stabilisation of the country. The total financial allocation for the aid was decided at an international donors conference.

Release of the reserve:

- share-out of funds by country,

- as regards the Balkan States: for each country funded, the Commission should report on how each country spent the macro-financial assistance (targets, actions, projects),

- list of internal and external audits of the Commission and its services on fraud, corruption and irregularities in macro-financial assistance,

- information on how the national parliaments are involved in programme planning.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

The total subscribed share capital shall increase from EUR 2000000000 to EUR 3000000000 and, maintaining the current paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400000000 to EUR 600000000. The capital increase of the EIF was endorsed within the framework of the EIB Group’s contribution to growth and jobs, which was welcomed by the Council meeting (Ecofin) of 14 March 2006 and the European Council meeting of 23 and 24 March 2006.

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

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

Remarks

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

The implemented measures shall be, in particular:

- networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

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

- policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

- information sharing, dissemination and awareness raising,

- support to joint actions of Member States or regions,

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

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

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

The aim of this initiative is to draw attention to the value, diversity and shared characteristics of European tourist destinations and to promote both within Europe and in third countries the European destinations where the economic growth objective is pursued in such a way as to ensure the social, cultural and environmental sustainability of tourism. The measure will also help European citizens to become better acquainted with one another.

The project’s aims are to:

- enhance visibility of the emerging European tourist destinations of excellence, especially the lesser known,

- create awareness of Europe’s tourist diversity and quality,

- promote all European countries and regions both within Europe and in the main third country markets,

- help decongestion, combat seasonality, and rebalance the tourist flows towards the non-traditional destinations,

- present awards for sustainable forms of tourism,

- create a platform for the exchange of good practices at European level,

- promote networking between awarded-winning destinations which could persuade other destinations to adopt sustainable tourism development models.

Each year, destinations in the Member States will be designated European Destinations of Excellence according to the selected theme. Candidate countries will also be invited to participate in the process.

The project "European Destinations of Excellence" aims to enhance visibility of the emerging European tourist destinations of excellence, especially the lesser known; to create awareness of Europe's tourist diversity and quality; to promote all European countries and regions; to help decongestion, combat seasonality and rebalance the tourist flows towards the non-traditional destinations; to present awards for sustainable forms of tourism; to create a platform for the exchange of good practices at European level; and to promote networking between award-winning destinations which could persuade other destinations to adopt sustainable tourism development models.

Remarks

Former Article 04 03 08

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The measures could involve:

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

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

The Calypso 2010 programme objectives are based on the measures identified within the 2009 study (through a call for tender), that is to:

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

- identify the existing measures at European and national level allowing the exchanges of persons from the following target groups: senior citizens, young people, citizens with disabilities and families facing difficult social circumstances,

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

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

Remarks

The development of energy-saving techniques and renewable energy use is an issue of major importance to the building industry. With 2,5 million firms, a turnover of more than EUR 1200 billion and a workforce of 12 million people, 9,7 million of whom are waged employees, the building industry generates 10 % of the Union’s GDP. 99 % of building firms are SMEs (with fewer than 250 employees), which generate 78 % of the industry’s turnover. Increased use of eco-technologies and eco-innovations in the building trade is, however, dependent on a combination of factors, such as additional cost, product availability, consumer demand and skill levels within firms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

- local markets are smaller in scope,

- national markets stagnate at certain times,

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

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

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restrictive practices (Article 81 of the EC Treaty/Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the EC Treaty/Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), aids granted by States (Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty/Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

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

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

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

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

This appropriation may also cover the funding of measures involving representatives of the social partners in the candidate countries with the specific purpose of promoting social dialogue at Union level. It is also intended to promote equal participation of women and men in the decision-making bodies of both trade unions and employers’ organisations. These last two components are cross-cutting.

On the basis of these objectives, two subprogrammes have been established:

- support for European social dialogue,

- improvement of expertise in industrial relations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended, for completion of the internal market and implementation of the European employment strategy, to cover the implementation and operation of the EURES network.

This network is aimed at developing cooperation between the Commission and the Member States, and in particular their employment services, with a view to:

- the provision of placement, advice and information services for workers as regards employment in another Member State and for employers wishing to recruit in another Member State,

- the exchange of job vacancies and applications at Union level and across borders,

- the exchange of information between Member States concerning labour-market trends and living and working conditions.

The EURES network may include special cooperation and service structures at the initiative of border regions.

The EURES network has close operational links with the relevant activities in the Commission Directorates-General for Education and Culture and Justice, Freedom and Security, such as Europass and Leonardo.

Further studies will be conducted to explore the feasibility of a European approach to the certification of non-formal qualifications.

The network will ensure that the principle of freedom of movement is respected and that it operates in a transparent and non-discriminatory fashion, with particular regard to access to employment for Union nationals in a country other than that of their origin.

This appropriation covers measures that are essential to the smooth running of the EURES network, in particular the following support measures:

- subsidies for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners,

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

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

- promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,

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

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

- participation in the maintenance, enhancement and continuous development of computerised systems linking the EURES network and its stakeholders. This includes a one-stop web portal, also accessible for disabled people, providing multilingual access to information on job vacancies, CVs of potential candidates, living and working conditions, labour market trends, education and training opportunities as well as other job mobility related contents. This portal should also address the information needs of nationals of third countries, in particular from countries coming under the European Neighbourhood Policy.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives to promote active ageing, including access to the labour market in accordance with the goals of:

- the Lisbon European Council of 23 and 24 March 2000, which set up the strategic goal for the next decade of becoming the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion,

- the Barcelona European Council of 15 and 16 March 2002, which called for a progressive increase in the effective average age at which people stop working in the European Union,

- the Stockholm European Council of 23 and 24 March 2001, which called upon the Council and the Commission to report jointly on how to increase labour force participation and promote active ageing,

- Article 2 of the Treaty, which calls for a high level of employment, the raising of the standard of living and quality of life as well as economic and social cohesion and solidarity among Member States,

- Council Decision 2003/578/EC of 22 July 2003 on guidelines for the employment policies of the Member States (OJ L 197, 5.8.2003, p. 13), which recalls the Lisbon and Stockholm targets and the demographic challenge for the employment rate for older women and men. Guideline 5 specifically refers to increasing the labour supply and promoting active ageing,

- Council Recommendation 2003/579/EC of 22 July 2003 on the implementation of Member States’ employment policies (OJ L 197, 5.8.2003, p. 22), which identifies certain actions to be taken with regard to the labour supply and active ageing.

It is also intended to finance measures to encourage the establishment of exchange programmes for the elderly through specialised organisations tasked with developing, inter alia, resources for mobility and adapting infrastructures, including within travel, in accordance with the contents of the:

- European Parliament resolution of 11 April 2002 on the second United Nations World Assembly on Ageing (Madrid, 8 to 12 April 2002) (OJ C 127 E, 29.5.2003, p. 675), which stressed the importance of promoting programmes encouraging mobility for the elderly, and in particular paragraphs 13 and 14 thereof,

- European Parliament resolution of 15 December 2000 on the Commission communication "Towards a Europe for all ages — Promoting prosperity and intergenerational solidarity" (OJ C 232, 17.8.2001, p. 381).

High-quality health services and increased longevity in EU countries are shifting focus in economic policy from social protection issues to the involvement of elderly people in different activities. Preparatory actions are needed to find the most efficient policy tools for solving this problem.

Legal basis

- analysis of the impact of demographic change on EU and Member State policies, measures and programmes, and formulation of recommendations for adjustments to economic and other policies, measures and programmes at European and national levels in order to prevent the ageing of society from having a negative impact,

- analysis of the links between the family unit and demographic trends, identification of the existing relations between technological development (impact on communication technologies, geographical and occupational mobility) and the consequences for households and society in general,

- analysis of the links between disability and demographic trends, analysis of the social situation of people with disabilities and their families and the needs of children with disabilities within their families and communities,

- analysis of trends in social objectives (in terms of safeguarding acquired rights or extending them) regarding both goods and services, taking account of demographic trends and redefinition of the relationships between generations,

- development of appropriate methodological tools (sets of social indicators, simulation techniques, etc.), so as to underpin the annual joint report on social protection and social inclusion with a solid quantitative and scientific foundation,

- the taking account of family life and childhood in the implementation of relevant Union policies, such as the free movement of persons and equality between men and women.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives which help exploring the real working and living conditions of posted workers and how the Member States, social partners and labour inspectorates work in practice. The pilot project focuses on few specific sectors with a high number of posted workers e.g. construction, agriculture and healthcare sectors.

The purpose of the pilot project is to:

- promote the exchange of relevant information, establish best practices and publish an overview of the state of play in the Member States,

- examine any questions and difficulties which might arise in the practical application of the posting of workers legislation, as well as in its enforcement in practice.

Measures covered will include the exchange of information on posted workers with a focus on:

- discrepancies between their wages and the remuneration of those workers who are in a similar occupation in the host country,

- discrepancies between their working time spent at work and the working time defined in the contract,

- their real remunerated leave,

- their living conditions, including occupational health and safety conditions,

- their contractual arrangements and the duration of their posting,

- their trade union representation in the host country,

- how inspectorates work and the frequency of their control.

Remarks

The appropriation is intended to finance initiatives to examine to what extent jobs which have been put at risk by the financial crisis can be preserved through short-time working and in-service training. The purpose of the pilot project is to:

- promote the exchange of relevant information and establish and publicise best practices,

- examine issues and problems potentially arising when such practices are applied.

Measures are to be financed to:

- examine to what extent the introduction of temporary short-time working, with government financial support, is a suitable means, in such a financial and economic situation, of preserving jobs without distorting competition,

- establish what prospects of success there are from sending workers at risk of being laid off to skills agencies,

- assess what tangible labour market measures ought to be taken, and at what level, in order to avoid rising youth unemployment in particular,

- examine how such labour policy measures change the living and working conditions of the individuals concerned.

Remarks

This appropriation is aimed at initiating an "EU mobility and integration scheme" in order to assist migrant workers and thus foster the positive effects of labour mobility within the Union. Particular attention will be paid to facilitating the mobility of vulnerable sections of the population, as called for by Parliament in its resolution of 18 December 2008 on the European Job Mobility Action Plan (2007-2010). Such a scheme will help overcome the unfavourable conditions for mobile workers to integrate into the host country, including various social difficulties which they encounter, and help them, possibly, to return to their country of origin. Two lines of action will be tested to that end:

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

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

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

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The purpose of the pilot project is to:

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

- create networks linking public institutions, commercial firms and not-for-profit enterprises capable of taking an innovative approach to governance and the formulation of welfare indicators which can be used to quantify the impact on the target groups.

The project includes:

- making the business world aware of social responsibilities through support for firms involved in integrating people into the labour market,

- proposals for efficient, effective solutions to the socio-economic problems suffered by each specific area and target group, stemming from cooperation between public authorities, commercial firms and not-for-profit enterprises,

- production of qualitative and quantitative results measured in terms of higher employment rates and more stable jobs, employment of women and integration of vulnerable groups into employment.

- assessing what tangible labour market measures ought to be taken in order to prevent unemployment and raise the employment levels of people suffering from autism (according to some sources, 62 % of adults with autism do not have any work at all, while others show that only 6 % of adults on the autistic spectrum have full-time paid employment),

- identifying existing policy approaches in the Member States, and mapping the types of measures aimed at developing employment opportunities for people with autism and helping them access and sustain employment,

- assessing the effectiveness of the measures undertaken,

- promoting exchange of best practices.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Of the total commitment appropriations in this item, an amount of EUR 1865900000 results from the compulsory modulation in conformity with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. In addition an amount of EUR 429800000 results from the voluntary modulation in conformity with Regulation (EC) No 378/2007. Rural development measures under all axes will be measured against more refined performance indicators for farming systems and production methods so as to respond to the challenges related to climate change, water protection, biodiversity and renewable energies. Member States shall report on action taken on the new challenges in rural development measures, including the milk sector.

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

This legislation concerns inter alia the 18 regulations and directives underpinning the cross-compliance system, as well as the standards defined as Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) which is also part of the cross-compliance requirements.

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

Legal basis

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

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

In connection with Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91 (OJ L 46, 17.2.2004, p. 1), the Commission needs to develop additional measures to make enforcement of the Regulation more efficient.

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the establishment and development of the trans-European transport network (TEN), which is held to be a key policy for the proper functioning of the internal market and for economic and social cohesion (Articles 170 to 172 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). This contribution takes the form of co-financing of projects of common interest identified in the Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (Decision No 1692/96/EC).

The aim is:

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

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

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

- to encourage the participation of private capital in project funding, as well as public/private partnerships,

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

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

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

Special attention must be paid to cross-border rail projects that contribute to better connections between old and new Member States and the reunification of Europe.

Legal basis

Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (OJ L 228, 9.9.1996, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of economic and technical feasibility studies, preparatory and evaluation studies and interest-rate subsidies, loan guarantees or direct subsidies, in duly justified cases, for projects of common interest identified under the guidelines laid down in Decision No 1364/2006/EC.

The objective of this measure is to contribute towards the competitive operation of the internal energy market and greater security of energy supply through the establishment of the network infrastructure required, and in particular through the establishment and development of trans-European energy networks, promoting the interconnection and interoperability of the national networks and access to such networks and extending them beyond the Union.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a subsidy to the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen. The mission of the Agency is to provide the Union and the Member States with objective, reliable and comparable information on the environment at European level, thus enabling them to take the requisite measures to protect the environment, to assess the results of such measures and to inform the public.

The EEA Strategy for the period 2009-2013 adopted by the Management Board on 26 November 2008 is built on three main activities:

- continuing to support the information needs set down in EU and international environmental legislation and especially the 6th EU Environment Action Programme,

- providing more timely assessments on how and why the environment is changing and whether environmental policies, including the 6th EU Environment Action Programme, the EU Sustainable Development Strategy and those in related areas have been effective,

- improving the coordination and dissemination of environmental data and knowledge across Europe.

These activities are addressed through four project areas:

- environmental themes,

- cross-cutting themes,

- integrated environmental assessment,

- information services and communications.

Each of the thematic areas being addressed is influenced by a range of societal and sectoral processes in areas such as agriculture, chemicals, energy, transport or land-use development and planning, and needs to be seen in a wider international context.

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

Commitments | Payments | Commitments | Payments | Commitments | Payments |

Remarks

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

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

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

Moreover, desertification results not only in agricultural losses, but also in loss of biodiversity, reduction in soil fertility and reduction in the capacity of soil to retain water, increased erosion and reduced carbon capture. Furthermore, floods and droughts linked to climate change are becoming more frequent and more drastic in their effects, increasing to an even greater extent the risk and negative economic and social consequences of desertification (see paragraph 17 of the European Parliament resolution of 9 October 2008 on addressing the challenge of water scarcity and droughts in the European Union (Texts adopted, P6_TA(2008)0473)).

The pilot project will involve:

- best practice exchange,

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

The climate of the Carpathians and the Carpathian basin is fundamental input information for weather and climate forecasting. The Carpathians Environment Outlook project (under the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) umbrella), Danube (seventh European corridor) and the Carpathian basin cover a large part of the watershed area. What will be produced will be common maps and comparable national climate and meteorological maps, and there will be a possibility of enlarging the scope of the project, plus a database of gridded maps for other future large projects.

Project starting date: 1 January 2009.

Project end date: 31 December 2010.

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to step up action to protect the environment and manage environmental risks in coastal areas.

The aim is to foster best practice in the sustainable management of coastal areas by stepping up existing non-traditional measures in the sector and exploring the scope for new measures, raising awareness of the needs of coastal areas and ensuring better stakeholder behaviour.

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of measures put forward by Member States and local authorities with a view to:

- establishing an inventory of non-fishing vessels by analysing the life cycle of such vessels, the materials used to build them and what happens to them once they are taken out of service,

- looking into the feasibility of introducing rules governing the scrapping of obsolete vessels and/or the procedures for the disposal of such vessels,

- recycling vessels and the materials used therein — in particular resins and glass fibre — which are either wasted when disposed of in landfills or pollute the surrounding area when vessels are abandoned,

- the possible reuse of recyclable materials,

- proper management of hazardous waste, in particular fuel, oil and heavy metals, which need to be decontaminated,

- conducting public information and awareness campaigns fostering public debate and the pooling of ideas on environmental and social issues with a bearing on sustainable development and involving both maritime firms and private individuals.

Remarks

The aim of the pilot project is to develop a certification scheme for low-carbon farming practices in the EU. The scheme should target the whole farming sector and should aim to take into account all the main factors contributing to carbon emissions from farming, including the utilisation of fertilisers and other inputs, the handling of waste products, the production of renewable energy, the development of carbon sinks and the use of other climate mitigating practices and technologies. In order to ensure its relevance throughout the territory of the EU, the certification scheme to be developed in the pilot project should be tested through practical trials on a number of farming regions appropriately situated in various parts of the Union.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The aim of the project is to create the most effective method of controlling the spread of ragweed, as well as preventing and treating pollen allergies based on international scientific research, data collection and evaluation.

The objectives of the project are for the countries involved:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Project starting date: 1 January 2010.

Project end date: 31 December 2011.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

7500000 | 7000000 | 7500000 | 7000000 | 3076575,— | 0,— |

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a preparatory action on an EU rapid response capability designed to respond immediately to critical needs arising from major disasters, including forest fires. It may consist of dedicated civil protection modules that Member States make available for European civil protection intervention and/or additional complementary capacities made available by the Monitoring and Information Centre (MIC) through standing arrangements with other parties.

The aim of the preparatory action is also to improve the mobilisation of additional operational resources and emergency support from Member States to assist other Member States or third countries in coping with forest fires too numerous and too intense to be handled within the constraints of national logistical capacity and manpower. It is designed to test innovative arrangements for making assistance available to Member States or third countries facing major forest fires. It covers in particular the setting-up by the Member States of a reserve of fire fighting capacities that may be made available in situations where Member States are unable to provide the assistance because they have engaged all their national fire fighting capacities to respond to forest fires or due to high risk of forest fires on their territory.

By ensuring that key resources and essential equipment are on standby during relevant periods, in line with scenarios for responding to major disasters, this preparatory action is intended to enhance Europe’s collective preparedness for major disasters and paves the way for the EU Civil Protection Force.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Three pillars support this approach: (1) sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments; (2) farm to fork: food, health and well being, and (3) life sciences and biotechnology for sustainable non-food products and processes. This way new and emerging research opportunities can be exploited that address social and economic challenges, such as the growing demand for environmentally and animal friendly systems of production and distribution of safer, healthier and higher quality food in line with consumer requirements and control of food-related risks, relying in particular on biotechnology tools, as well as health risks associated with environmental changes.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

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

The specific objectives are:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

- pilot projects and best practice actions; ad-hoc projects in areas relevant to the programme, including projects demonstrating best practice or involving innovative uses of existing technology,

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

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

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

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

- technical assessment of technologies such as filtering designed to promote safer use of the internet and new online technologies,

- studies in support of the programme and its actions,

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

- dissemination, information and communication activities.

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

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

Part of the appropriation under this budget item will be used to support projects for analysing and spreading good practices throughout the Union and reflecting on a framework for the assessment of media literacy levels and activities. Particular attention may be given to projects which analyse media representations and media values, encourage the production and distribution of media literacy related content, stimulate the use of media in order to improve participation in social and community life and concentrate on the implementation of media literacy initiatives bridging the media industry and the education world. Beneficiaries may be organisations from the public and private sectors which have expertise and European experience in media literacy issues.

Remarks

The ICT PSP is one of the three specific programmes under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). It is a new legal instrument in the context of the 2007 to 2013 financial framework.

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

As indicated in the legal basis, the ICT Policy Support programme shall provide for the following actions:

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

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

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

This will be done in particular by supporting the development of ICT-based services and the development and use of digital content in areas of public interest, including in the areas of ICT for Health and Inclusion; ICT for Government and governance; ICT for energy efficiency, smart mobility and environment; digital libraries, better exploitation of public sector information, education and learning.

Part of ICT PSP appropriations in the CIP may be used to ensure testing, and support deployment across the EU, of the next-generation 112, innovative services for interoperable emergency services and 112 for all citizens, enabling quicker, more efficient reactions and life-saving, inter alia through remodelling the traditional technical architecture for emergency calling and lowering its cost and complexity, with the ultimate aim of providing an optimum response to 112 calls made by all citizens, including users with disabilities.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

Activities cover collaboration, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. Also entered in this article are the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

Remarks

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

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

Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Union to investigate new areas of research suitable for EU action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a MEDIA International preparatory action. It will finance activities not covered by other programmes and will intent to strengthen cooperation between the audiovisual industries of third countries and those of the Member States. It may constitute for the Commission a starting point for a new programme on audiovisual cooperation between the European Union and third countries.

The preparatory action MEDIA International follows three objectives:

- to strengthen information exchange and professionals’ level of knowledge of foreign audiovisual markets,

- to improve the competitiveness and the distribution of cinematographic/audiovisual works from third counties in European markets; and reciprocally of European cinematographic/audiovisual works in third countries,

- to improve the audience for non-European cinematographic/audiovisual works in European markets; and reciprocally for European cinematographic/audiovisual works in third countries.

To achieve these objectives, the preparatory action will support five categories of action:

- training actions aimed mainly at furnishing a deeper understanding of how audiovisual markets operate at the international level,

- promotion actions which, through intervention upstream or at production segment level facilitate access to international markets for cinematographic/audiovisual works,

- distribution actions aimed at improving the range and breadth of promotion (advertising campaigns, marketing tools) of exclusive premieres of cinematographic works from third countries in cinemas in the European Union, and reciprocally of exclusive premieres of European films in the cinemas of these third countries,

- initiatives aimed at improving the scheduling and screening conditions of exclusive first releases of films from third countries in European cinemas, and reciprocally of European films in the cinemas of these third countries,

- actions, particularly in the area of film and audiovisual literacy, liable to increase and consolidate public demand (and in particular amongst young people) for culturally diverse cinematographic/audiovisual contents.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

However, Solvit like many other public assistance services relating to EU issues is still not widely known among potential users of the system. At the same time citizens and businesses are often very confused about the right address for their requests for information, assistance or problem solving. To remedy this, the Commission has announced, as part of the single market review, that it will endeavour to create a single web-based access point guiding citizens and business to the right service. This single access point should be implemented by the end of 2010. The European Commission shall inform the competent committee of the European Parliament in a yearly report about the frequency of use of the contact point and possible measures to further improve it.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The European Parliament has been a pioneer in promoting Roma rights; its first resolution on the issue goes back to 1984. During the previous term, the European Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions on the specific situation of Roma in Europe. In particular, in its resolution of 31 January 2008 on a European strategy on the Roma, the European Parliament urged "the Commission to develop a European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion aimed at providing policy coherence at EU level as regards the social inclusion of Roma and urges the Commission at the same time to comprehensively shape a Community Action Plan on Roma Inclusion with the task of providing financial support for realising the objective of the European Framework Strategy on Roma Inclusion". Also, in its resolution of 10 July 2008 on the census of the Roma on the basis of ethnicity in Italy, the European Parliament reiterated those requests and again called on the Commission and the Member States, within the framework of an EU Roma Strategy and in the context of the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, to enact legislation and policies to support Roma communities while promoting their integration in all fields, to launch anti-racism and anti-discrimination programmes in schools, employment and the media and to enhance the exchange of expertise and best practices.

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

Goals are:

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

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

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

- to promote the exchange of best practices.

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

The aim of this preparatory action is to foster the development of micro-credit in Europe, in line with the new Lisbon Agenda growth and employment targets and the recommendations set out in the European Parliament resolution of 11 July 2007 on financial services policy (2005 to 2010) — White Paper, with particular reference to the need for a micro-credit action plan.

The purpose of the preparatory action is to:

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

These actions and programmes should strive to strengthen intercultural dialogue.

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

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

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

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

EUR 1800000 is intended for various cross-border measures organised by the Government of the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain) as part of the "Xacobeo 2010" programme.

EUR 2000000 is to be allocated for organising the 10th biannual European Youth Olympic Winter Festival (EYOWF), which is to be held from 12 to 19 February 2011 in Liberec in the Czech Republic. The Liberec will host what is an event of European importance and welcome Europe's best 1300 young sportsmen and sportswomen from more than 45 countries, making it the largest youth sport event in the history of the Czech Republic.

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

EUR 6000000 is to be allocated to co-finance the organisation of the European Special Olympics Summer Games in Warsaw, Poland ( 18- 24 September 2010) and to undertake the essential preparations for the World Special Olympics Summer Games in Athens, Greece ( 20 June- 4 July 2011). This funding will also allow participating athletes from all 27 Member States to train and prepare for and attend the games in both Poland and Greece. A further allocation should be made in the financial year 2011.

The European Special Olympics Summer Games in Poland will enable over 1800 people with intellectual disabilities to compete in 11 Olympic-type sports. The athletes will be supported by more than 600 coaches, 3000 volunteers and 2000 family members. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will conduct a public awareness campaign on intellectual disability, organise a summit for disabled and non-disabled people to become better informed and share their experiences, and organise a European university symposium which will bring together leading academics to discuss issues surrounding intellectual disability.

The World Special Olympics Summer Games in Greece will bring together over 7500 people with intellectual disabilities from more than 180 countries. These athletes will be supported by 2500 coaches, 3000 officials, 25000 volunteers and over 30000 family members. Athletes will compete to the best of their abilities in 22 Olympic-type sports. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will host a global policy summit to discuss the challenges and opportunities for better social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. A family forum will also take place, enabling athletes’ family members to learn and share experiences about raising a person with an intellectual disability.

Remarks

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

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

It covers in particular activities such as:

- Debate Europe, the new step of the "Plan-D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate",

- communication operations linked to other specific annual or multi-annual communication priorities,

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

The main types of tool concerned are:

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

- the Europe Direct contact centre (00800-67891011),

- the Internet sites and multimedia products of the Representations in the Member States,

- online summaries of legislation (SCADPlus),

- online press releases, speeches, memos, etc. (RAPID).

This appropriation is intended to fund the restructuring of the Europa site in a more coherent way. It is also intended to cover information campaigns for facilitating access to these sources of information, especially for the Europe Direct telephone number.

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

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5000.

Remarks

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

- Objective 2: to ensure effective application of consumer protection rules notably through enforcement cooperation, information, education and redress.

The consumer programme consolidates and expands the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programmes. It considerably expands Union activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, market surveillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

Remarks

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

The main objectives of the second public health programme are:

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

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

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

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

(1) Health information

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

(2) Health security

The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats.

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

(3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This appropriation is intended to fund initiatives which help deal with the new employment situation in the health sector, particularly in relation to professional qualifications and duties carried out by healthcare workers, healthcare assistants and lower-skilled nurses and which help examine the effects of cross-border mobility both in the host country and the country of origin. Measures covered will include:

- analysing factors and policies with a view to better meeting the need for measures to increase the supply and improve the qualifications of health care staff in the long run,

- promoting exchanges on policies and best practices with a view to coping with the increase in care consumption due to demographic change,

- funding initiatives which help examine cross-border effects on health services,

- paying attention to the effects of different levels of remuneration, which may come to light in this context,

- studies, meetings with experts and information campaigns; a solution should also be found to maintain the level of care in national healthcare systems,

- analysing the relationship between healthcare and social care and work on producing comparable data. A solid database, which also includes gender and diversity aspects, will be crucial to enhance the Open Method of Coordination when it has been extended to healthcare.

Remarks

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

Remarks

Former Article 18 03 12

This appropriation is intended to cover earlier commitments.

The purpose of the action is to test hypotheses in the field of migration management. On the basis of its evaluation, it could lead to the development of a global approach, an objective set by the European Union. The action will be based on three related components.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

- facilitating access to employment, including vocational training,

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

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

- support for persons in particular need of protection, such as unaccompanied minors and torture and rape victims,

- integration into local structures and activities,

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

- analysis of the situation of refugees in the European Union,

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

- separate accommodation for single women and girls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

- reception and accommodation,

- provision of subsistence funds,

- medical, psychological and other assistance, aimed in particular at minors and including specialised assistance to women and girls who have fallen victim to harassment in any form or to criminal acts (rape or violence) or have suffered because of poor conditions as refugees,

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

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

- logistical and transport costs.

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover earlier commitments.

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

The general aim of the DCI is to make the EU/Community’s external assistance more effective. Under this programme, the objective of the thematic programme on cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum is to support third countries in their efforts to ensure better management of migratory flows in all their dimensions. Appropriations are used to provide, in a specific and complementary way, technical and financial assistance for third countries to support them in these efforts.

The EU/Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit has the objective of fostering the links between migration and development, as well as to mitigate the brain drain from south to north in the process, to promote well-managed labour migration, to fight illegal migration, to fight smuggling and the trafficking of human beings and facilitate re-admission, to protect migrants and to help third countries to improve their capacities to fulfil their international obligations in the field of asylum and migration.

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

This thematic programme must fully take into account new forced migrations due to climate change.

The respect of democratic principles and the rule of law, as well as of human rights and of fundamental freedoms, will constitute an essential element for the application of this instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be associated with measures aimed at strengthening democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international instruments in this field, including the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agencies (in particular, United Nations agencies), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) or other non-State actors, federal, national, provincial and local governments of third countries, their departments and agencies, institutes, associations and public and private operators.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Appropriations under this article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Remarks

The general objective will be to contribute to the development and consolidation of democracy and respect for human rights, in accordance with European Union policies and guidelines and in close cooperation with civil society.

Key areas of activity will include:

- enhancing respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in countries and regions where they are most at risk, as well as promoting the rule of law,

- strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights and democratic reform, while ensuring the protection of human rights defenders and defenders of freedom of speech and freedom of the press, in supporting the peaceful conciliation of group interests and in consolidating political participation and representation,

- supporting actions on human rights and democracy issues in areas covered by EU Guidelines, including on human rights dialogues, on human rights defenders, on the death penalty, on torture, and on childhood and armed conflicts,

- strengthening the international framework for the protection of human rights, the rule of law and the promotion of democracy, in particular international criminal justice mechanisms and core legal instruments, with part of this support being provided to give legal advice and clear up murders of human rights defenders and defenders of freedom of speech.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when entering into joint management with international organisations, will — upon request — undertake to make available to its Internal Auditor as well as to the European Court of Auditors all internal and external audits which concern the use of Union funds.

Part of this appropriation will be devoted to the European Inter-University Centre for Human Rights and Democratisation, providing a European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation and an EU-UN Fellowship Programme, beyond the expiry by end 2006 of Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 (OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31).

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

This appropriation is also intended to finance support for NGOs and human rights defenders working in North Caucasus.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide (OJ L 386, 29.12.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

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

The following actions are envisaged:

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

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

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

Bodies responsible for providing immediate defence (ad-hoc assignments in countries where human rights are under threat, either acting alone or together with local lawyers in sensitive cases in criminal courts) could be beneficiaries. Were this to be the case, the urgent protection provisions set out in Article 13(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1889/2006 establishing a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy and human rights worldwide would remain unchanged.

Legal basis

Remarks

Cooperation with industrialised and other high-income countries and territories is aimed at engaging with partners which share similar political, economic and institutional structures and values to the Union and which are important bilateral partners and players in multilateral fora and in global governance. The cooperation also covers newly industrialised or high-income countries and territories with whom the Union has a strategic interest in promoting links.

Specific attention shall be paid to measures, which may include a regional dimension, in the following areas of cooperation:

- the promotion of cooperation, partnerships and joint undertakings between economic, academic and scientific actors in the Union and partner countries,

- the stimulation of bilateral trade, investment flows and economic partnerships,

- the promotion of dialogue between political, economic and social actors and other non-governmental organisations in relevant sectors in the Union and partner countries,

- the promotion of people-to-people links, education and training programmes and intellectual exchanges and the enhancement of mutual understanding between cultures and civilisations,

- the promotion of cooperative projects in areas such as research, science and technology, energy, transport and environmental matters — including climate change, customs and financial issues and any other matter of mutual interest between the Union and the partner countries,

- the enhancement of awareness about and understanding of the European Union and of its visibility in partner countries,

- support for specific initiatives, including research work, studies, pilot schemes or joint projects destined to respond in an effective and flexible manner to cooperation objectives arising from developments in the Union’s bilateral relationship with the partner countries or aiming to provide impetus to the further deepening and broadening of bilateral relationships with them.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Remarks

The quick release of financing through the Instrument for Stability is designed to address situations of urgency, crisis or emerging crisis, a situation posing a threat to democracy, law and order, to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, to the security and safety of individuals, situations threatening to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country concerned and where such situations are likely to jeopardise the beneficial effects of assistance and cooperation policies and programmes, their effectiveness and/or conditions for their proper implementation.

This appropriation is intended to cover an integrated programme of response measures designed to re-establish the minimum conditions necessary for the conduct of assistance under the Union’s long-term assistance instruments. Such programmes will ensure a smooth link between relief, rehabilitation and development. They shall also provide complementary measures falling under Community competence relating to measures adopted under the CFSP, as part of a comprehensive EU approach to crisis.

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

Operations covered will include:

- technical and logistical support for the efforts of international and regional organisations, state and non-state actors in promoting confidence-building, mediation, dialogue and reconciliation,

- the relaunch of basic public services and economic activity,

- the initial physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance,

- social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised combatants,

- the restoration of the institutional capacities needed for good governance and ensuring the rule of law and democracy,

- assisting with the special needs of women and children affected by armed conflict, particularly rehabilitation of children affected by war, including child soldiers,

- preparedness measures aimed at strengthening the capacity of international, regional and sub-regional organisations, state and non-state actors in relation to their efforts in promoting early warning, confidence-building, mediation and reconciliation and addressing emerging inter-community tensions, and in improving post-conflict and post-disaster recovery. In this regard, the Commission will also enhance the capacity of civil society organisations, building upon previous support under the conflict prevention network preparatory action,

- support for international criminal tribunals and ad hoc national tribunals, truth and reconciliation commissions, and mechanisms for the legal settlement of human rights claims,

- support for measures to address, in the context of Union cooperation policies and their objectives, the impact on the civilian population of the illicit use of and access to firearms,

- support for measures to promote and defend respect for human rights,

- support for measures to support the development and organisation of civil society.

Implementing partners may include authorities of the Member States or of beneficiary countries and their agencies, regional and international organisations and their agencies, NGOs, public and private operators and individual organisations or operators (including staff seconded from Member State administrations) with appropriate specialised expertise and experience.

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Remarks

This appropriation, which is complementary to the capacity building activities as provided for by the Peacebuilding Partnership under the Instrument for Stability, is intended to finance a programme of NGO-led peacebuilding activities in order to support the EU’s commitments to prevent conflict and build peace outside its borders.

Activities to be financed under this pilot project will include: research on and analysis of specific conflicts; support for peace processes, mediation and dialogue; support to disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) processes and broader post-conflict economic development; support to local actor participation in peace settlements; civil society involvement in security sector reform (SSR), justice sector reform and transitional justice processes; promotion of conflict-sensitive development practices; international and national-level advocacy work to encourage peacebuilding and the prevention of violent conflict; the development and management of early warning systems; the promotion of the role of women in peacebuilding; unarmed civilian peacekeeping; and the deployment of professionals to sustain local actors by reducing and preventing violence, and by supporting dialogue, sustainable peace and a conflict-resilient society.

The pilot project could also serve as a test case for Union support for NGO-led peacebuilding activities and could thus lead to the eventual establishment of a permanent mechanism for short-, medium- and long-term financing in this area.

Remarks

The European Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving its Member States and the neighbouring partner countries [0]. To that effect the EU has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation. The EU has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common interests and shared values and based on the creation of four "common spaces". The appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on EU policy objectives.

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

Remarks

Cross-border cooperation on the EU’s external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the EU’s Strategic Partnership with Russia, as well as within the Black Sea Synergy. The adoption of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) has considerably enhanced the scope for cross-border cooperation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Under the new approach, CBC programmes established on the EU’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the EU budget and be implemented according to a single set of rules, the one established under the ENPI Regulation. The global amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget Items presented under this article.

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

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

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

- ensuring efficient and secure borders,

- promoting local, cross-border "people-to-people" actions,

- fostering the development of civil society, inter alia, to promote social inclusion.

Appropriations under this article will also be used for actions aimed at informing the general public and the potential beneficiaries of assistance and at increasing the visibility of Union assistance.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to support the promotion of democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of law, and fostering a sustainable development and economic integration, as well as to achieving the millennium development (MDGs) goals.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by the end of 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved.

Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Union’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

- present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and basic health, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment,

- present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives,

- summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

- provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation schemes in developing countries in Latin America in order to:

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

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

- promote an SME-friendly business climate through legal property rights, cutting red tape and improved access to credit as well as improving SME associations,

- support regional integration,

- improve the standard of education and health,

- promote the increased use of information and communications technologies,

- support capacity-building, in particular in the least-developed countries, to help them to integrate better into the multilateral trading system, including improving their ability to participate in the WTO,

- encourage the transfer of know-how and promote contact and collaboration between business players on both sides,

- promote a more favourable climate for economic expansion and hence development in the countries concerned,

- promote the sustainable use of natural resources, sustainable energy and the combating of climate change,

- support disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-related hazards,

- support trade unions, NGOs and local initiatives to monitor the impact of European investments on the national economy, particularly codes of conduct and sector agreements incorporating respect for labour, environmental, social and human rights standards,

- foster the development of civil society, encourage less well represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society and the political system, combat all forms of discrimination, and strengthen the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities and older persons.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible for clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

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

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

Possible income, coming from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations. These amounts arise from the contributions according to Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue, which constitutes assigned revenue according to Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

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

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.

Appropriations under this article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

With the exception of humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs or by the United Nations’ agencies or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible for clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation measures for middle income countries and other developing countries in Latin America.

This appropriation is intended to finance cooperation measures which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) as established by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) and which therefore fall outside the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (Article 2(4)), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Latin American countries.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

19 10 01 Cooperation with developing countries in Asia

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them, aimed at improving human and social development as well as tackling macroeconomic and sectoral problems. Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation and institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, including operations concerning democratisation, education, vocational training, lifelong learning, academic and cultural exchange, scientific and technological exchange, the environment, tropical forests, anti-drugs campaigns, regional cooperation, disaster prevention and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable energy and information and communications technology.

The Commission produces an annual report covering all its external aid activities.

Also charged to this article is expenditure on operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or increase awareness of European Union cooperation with Asian developing countries.

It is also intended to cover support for the development of civil society and, in particular, support for the activities of non-governmental organisations promoting and defending the rights of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation measures, in middle income countries and other developing countries in Asia, which do not fulfil the criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA) as established by the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) and which therefore fall outside the scope of Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41), in particular measures for cooperation in sectors capable of developing independently, the result being that EU budget investment makes no contribution towards combating poverty in Asian countries.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

- the organisation of visits for groups of representatives of civil society.

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

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to contribute:

- to poverty and food insecurity reduction in chronic food insecure developing countries,

- to mitigate the effects of crisis on the most vulnerable population.

As a bridging instrument between the short-term (crisis situations) and the long-term (development), the scope of this Article includes protracted crises, rehabilitation and tackling structural food insecurity as a first step towards long-term poverty reduction.

More specifically, this appropriation is intended to contribute to the strategic priorities of the food security thematic programme:

- supporting the delivery of international public goods contributing to food security: research and technology,

- linking information and decision making to improve food security response strategies,

- exploiting the potential of continental and regional approaches to improve food security,

- addressing food security in exceptional situations of transition, and in fragile and failed states,

- promoting innovation to combat food insecurity,

- fostering advocacy and the advancement of the food security agenda, harmonisation and alignment with development partners and donors.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 3,7 % of this programme is foreseen for such countries.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make every effort to commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Community Funds.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support a rapid and direct response to the increased food prices in developing countries, addressing the period between emergency aid and medium- to long-term development cooperation. The primary objectives of the assistance and cooperation shall be to encourage a positive supply response of the agricultural sector in targeted countries and regions, to support activities to respond rapidly and directly to mitigate the negative effects of high food prices in line with global food security objectives and to strengthen the productive capacities and the governance of the agricultural sector to enhance the sustainability of interventions.

Taking into account the specific country-level conditions, the eligible support measures are:

- measures to improve access to agricultural inputs and services, including fertilisers and seeds, paying special attention to local facilities and availability,

- safety net measures aiming at maintaining or improving the agricultural productive capacity, and at addressing the basic food needs of the most vulnerable populations, including children,

- other small-scale measures aiming at increasing production based on country needs: microcredit, investment, equipment, infrastructure and storage; as well as vocational training and support to professional groups in the agricultural sector.

The assistance shall benefit developing countries and their populations. Resources are concentrated on a limited list of high-priority countries.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1337/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a facility for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries (OJ L 354, 31.12.2008, p. 62).

Remarks

This pilot project is intended to facilitate access to smallholder farmers to financial resources which should be used to stimulate agricultural production in developing countries. These appropriations should be channelled through organisations specialised in microfinance, including local banks and associations, which conform to recognised international standards of transparency, accountability and financial probity.

Taking into account the worldwide economic crisis, microfinance is needed more than ever before. The European Union should take responsibility and attach importance to facilitating microfinance in developing countries.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to promote and implement the policy on the environment and on the sustainable management of natural resources, including energy, as it applies to the EU’s relations with developing countries and with Europe’s neighbours.

Financial support is provided to actions in five priority areas: (1) working upstream on MDG7: promoting environmental sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of EU initiatives and helping developing countries to meet internationally agreed commitments; (3) improving expertise for integration and coherence; (4) strengthening environmental governance and EU leadership; and (5) supporting sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction, based on ownership and national strategies of disaster-prone countries.

Support for sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions also includes appropriations to cover the EU contribution to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF). The objective of GEEREF is to mobilise public and private finance to help solve the financing gridlock for economic renewable energy projects and businesses, in developing countries and in (non-EU) economies in transition.

Support for climate change adaptation in partner countries and regions includes a contribution to further strengthen the implementation of the EU’s Action Plan on Climate Change and Development through the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA). The GCCA is instrumental to enhance the cooperation between the European Union and developing countries on climate change, particularly in the area of adaptation towards the impacts of climate change, which is most acute for many poor developing countries.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope of EUR 63000000 is foreseen for such countries. This appropriation is also intended to cover the completion of payments for actions funded under the former Article 21 02 05 "Environment in Developing Countries".

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make all efforts that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission regarding the use of Community Funds.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and other donor countries, including in both cases their public and parastatal agencies, or from international organisations to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the EU and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. These contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitutes assigned revenue under Article 18(1)(aa) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each Chapter.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Remarks

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

In the context of climate change, the European Union needs to take the lead as regards measures to reduce the effects and causes of climate change. The exchange of good practices between the Member States in the area of energy efficiency will enable the European Union to act in a coordinated fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions. The European Union should consider promoting energy efficiency as an instrument to combat the consequences of climate change and also stimulate the use of renewable energy resources in developing countries so as to make them less energy-dependent.

Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation.

Health

This appropriation is intended to finance actions to improve reproductive and sexual health in developing countries and to secure respect for the rights related thereto.

Financial assistance shall be provided with a view to promoting the recognition of reproductive and sexual rights, safe motherhood and universal access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual health services.

In the allocation of such funding and expertise, priority shall be given to the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population within developing countries and to action that complements and reinforces both the policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other instruments of development cooperation.

The purposes of the activities carried out shall be to:

- secure the right of women, men and adolescents to good reproductive and sexual health,

- enable women, men and adolescents to have access to a comprehensive range of safe and reliable reproductive and sexual healthcare services and products,

- reduce maternal mortality rates, with particular reference to the countries and populations where these are highest,

- combat female genital mutilation.

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

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

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

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

Under that programme, the Community/EU shall provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise with a view to promoting investment in health, poverty reduction and equitable economic growth in developing countries.

In the allocation of such funding and expertise, priority shall be given to the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population, especially women and girls, within developing countries, and also to action that complements and reinforces both the policies and capacities of developing countries and the assistance provided through other instruments of development cooperation. These activities ought to contribute to innovative solutions which will improve the performance of current practices related to the fight against poverty-related diseases.

The purpose of all the activities carried out shall be to:

- optimise the impact of existing interventions, services, commodities and information targeted at the major communicable diseases affecting the poorest populations,

- increase the affordability of key pharmaceuticals,

- increase research and development, including vaccines and clinical trials, microbiocides and innovative treatments,

- increase activities in the area of disease prevention, including VCCT testing, targeted information campaigns and counselling among high-risk groups,

- promote awareness-raising campaigns, education, information and communication efforts aimed at reducing risk-taking behaviour,

- integrate gender sensitivity in HIV/AIDS programming and the development of female-initiated and female-controlled prevention methods as well as to integrate men into programmes focusing on the impact on women and girls,

- promote leadership awareness training.

This appropriation is also intended to fund malaria vaccination programmes.

Community/EU financial support shall be given to specific projects designed to further the objectives described above, including support for global initiatives targeting the major communicable diseases in the context of poverty reduction, notably the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria which came into operation on 29 January 2002.

Basic education

This appropriation is intended as a pilot project to support national programmes of aid for basic education in developing countries through relevant action and analyses.

Cultural cooperation

It is intended to promote cultural diversity by supporting cooperation in the field of culture, including:

- activities supporting mutual understanding between different cultures within partner countries,

- exchanges allowing for greater cultural understanding between developing countries and the European Union.

Additional contribution for the UN Millennium Development Goals

This appropriation is intended to finance sectoral budget support targeted at ending school and uniform fees in primary education, especially for girls. The limited number of beneficiary countries will be chosen from the list of countries identified by the UN Millennium Project as potential candidates for MDG fast-tracking and in accordance with the rules applied by the Commission for the countries benefiting from budget support, with particular reference to their ability to fulfil criteria of good governance and sound financial management.

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

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

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

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

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

Decentralised cooperation

This appropriation is intended to increase the capacity of civil society players and local authorities to act, mobilise and organise, to promote dialogue between government and non-governmental players. It is intended to cover the financing of social and economic development operations to benefit the poorest sections of the population in developing countries, in particular vulnerable groups. It supports sustainable development initiatives taken by the local public authorities, community-based organisations and associations or groupings in developing countries, possibly in association with their European Union counterparts.

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

Information and communication technologies and sustainable energy

This appropriation will fund information and communication technologies that can assist with the process of decentralised cooperation.

This appropriation was intended to enable the Commission to establish in 2002 a mechanism to support capacity-building in developing countries for information and communication technologies (ICT) and sustainable energy. The programme should be well coordinated with other donor initiatives on ICT and sustainable energy.

The sustainable energy component is addressed through Article 06 04 02, whereas the ICT component is addressed through national/regional programmes whenever relevant.

The Commission should also use this appropriation to work with the United Nations Development programme on joint pilot projects and ensure that the full benefits of ICT and sustainable energy technologies are explored and properly highlighted.

Gender equality

This appropriation is intended:

- to implement a catalyst role in promoting gender equality in Community/EU development cooperation,

- to provide financial assistance and appropriate expertise, while at the same time reinforcing the gender mainstreaming strategy by supporting specific actions for the empowerment of women.

Remarks

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

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

Before July each year, the Commission will provide the European Parliament and the Council with an annual report on the EU’s development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission’s regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

- present the strategic objectives of the Union’s development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, in the context of the geographical cooperation under the DCI, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union’s strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment,

- present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives,

- summarise the key features and events of cooperation in each geographical region, and

- provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

The report should also contain information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the report.

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

Remarks

Action A: coordination

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

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

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

This appropriation covers various forms of action:

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

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

- monitoring of operations in the course of implementation,

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

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

- the preparation of common positions, statements and initiatives,

- the organisation of events relating to coordination,

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

Action B: raising awareness

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Tasks resulting from specific powers directly conferred on the Commission pursuant to Article 210 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Remarks

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

- expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts for the mutual benefit of the beneficiaries and the Commission,

- expenditure on external staff at headquarters (contract agents, seconded national experts or agency staff) intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance offices; expenditure on external staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1800000. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members,

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

- expenditure on external staff at headquarters (contract agents, seconded national experts or agency staff) working on tasks directly related to the completion of the accession programmes; expenditure on external staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1100000. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man/year, of which 95 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 5 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members.

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

- the promotion and the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and enhanced respect for minority rights, the promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination,

- public administration reform, including the establishment of a system enabling decentralisation of assistance management to the beneficiary country in accordance with the rules set down in the Financial Regulation,

- economic reform,

- the development of civil society and social inclusion, encouraging less well represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society, combating all forms of discrimination, and strengthening the rights of women and children and other particularly vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities and older persons,

- reconciliation, confidence-building measures and reconstruction.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot Community. The assistance will focus particularly on the economic integration of the island and on improving contacts between the two communities and with the European Union in order to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus. The assistance may be used to support:

- the promotion of social and economic development, in particular concerning rural development, human resources development and regional development,

- the development and restructuring of infrastructure, in particular in the areas of energy and transport, the environment, telecommunications and water supply,

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

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

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

Part of this appropriation is also intended to cover the support administrative expenditure necessary for implementation of the programme such as:

- expenditure on technical and administrative assistance which the Commission may delegate to an implementing agency governed by Union law,

- expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts for the mutual benefit of the beneficiaries and the Commission,

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

Part of this appropriation is also intended to support the work of the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) in Cyprus in accordance with the relevant European Parliament resolution on missing persons in Cyprus, which was adopted on 18 June 2008 (OJ C 286 E, 27.11.2009, p. 13), in which Parliament supported the allocation of further financial support to the CMP as from 2009 onwards and EUR 2000000 specifically for 2009. This would follow on from the actions already undertaken by the Commission to grant EUR 1500000 to the CMP, covering the period until the end of 2008, in line with the European Parliament resolution on missing persons in Cyprus adopted on 15 March 2007 (OJ C 301 E, 13.12.2007, p. 243).

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

This appropriation is intended to further financially support and accelerate the work of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP), in addition to the EUR 3500000 granted from the EU budget to the CMP in 2008 and 2009 (EUR 1500000 and EUR 2000000 respectively) and in line with the relevant abovementioned European Parliament resolutions of 18 June 2008 on missing persons in Cyprus and of 15 March 2007 on the same subject.

As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is useful to note that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of remains of missing persons has been running since August 2006 and, to date, 539 sets of remains have been exhumed, 349 of which have been analysed at the CMP anthropological laboratory in an attempt to make presumptive identifications. The first positive identifications were made at the end of June 2007 and, to date, 172 sets of remains of individuals exhumed as part of the CMP project have been identified through this process and returned to their families. There are still 1500 missing persons (Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and others) and, given that these persons have been considered missing for 35-45 years, there is an urgent need to speed up the work of the CMP, as the number of living relatives of the missing persons and the number of persons who could testify about secret mass graves, etc., is gradually decreasing.

22 02 08 Pilot project for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas

Remarks

The appropriation will be used for supporting non-profit organisations (such as civil society organisations at a local and international level and public institutions) in conducting sustainable preservation, restoration and development of sites concerning valuable cultural objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) in candidate and potential candidate countries.

Whenever possible, particular attention should be given to projects that support confidence-building processes by involving different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects, as well as competence building and awareness creation on a local and national level.

In the future, experience gained under this pilot project could also serve to develop a permanent legal basis and a wider approach for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas in other geographical regions.

The European Parliament resolution of 29 March 2007 on the future of Kosovo and the role of the EU (OJ C 27 E, 31.1.2008, p. 207) stated that a Kosovo settlement should cover "protection of all cultural and religious sites".

A huge number of damaged buildings in the Balkans stand as physical reminders of earlier conflicts, creating mistrust. Different ethnic groups and local authorities are today engaged by NGOs in joint restoration projects, thereby promoting respect for the cultural values of others, but no EU funding is available. The Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) broadly covers "reconstruction" and "cooperation between communities" but does not make specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

The appropriation will be used for supporting preservation and restoration projects for valuable cultural and religious objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) damaged or destroyed by war or other political conflicts. Appropriations may be used to support public organisations as well as NGOs conducting projects in this field. In this context, however, it is important to recognise the key role that NGOs often play in these preservation and restoration projects.

Particular attention should be given to projects that support the confidence-building process by involving different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects and that support local education and development of restoration knowledge and skills of high cultural quality.

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

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

Remarks

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

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the information and communication priorities under the enlargement timetable. The aim of the information and communication strategy is to promote support for accession and to raise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where public opinion is more sensitive to future enlargement.

The appropriations will finance information and communication actions on priority EU policies such as: an effective dialogue on enlargement and pre-accession between the European citizens and the Union’s institutions, taking into account each country’s specificity and information needs; a dialogue between the civil society of the Union and that of candidate and potential candidate countries; informing journalists and other multipliers on the enlargement process; commissioning of studies and opinion polls; developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising of public events as well as conferences and seminars; and evaluating the information programme.

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

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

Remarks

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

The bulk of this appropriation will be allocated to cover information and communication activities in a deconcentrated manner to delegations in candidate and potential candidate countries.

Information and communication actions will be directed at the general public, relevant specific audiences, especially youth, media and civil society organisations, and will seek to enhance support among opinion leaders for enlargement as well as the association and stabilisation process. The aim is also to strengthen the Union’s profile and political leverage in those countries and generate public support for the reform process during the accession and pre-accession periods.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of humanitarian assistance to help people in countries outside the European Union who are the victims of conflicts or disasters, both natural and man-made (wars, outbreaks of fighting, etc.), or comparable emergencies, for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs that such situations give rise to.

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations.

It covers, inter alia:

- the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, promotion and development of initiatives intended to increase coordination and cooperation so as to make aid more effective and improve the monitoring of projects and plans,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover food aid operations of a humanitarian nature and will be carried out in accordance with the rules on humanitarian aid under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

The Union’s humanitarian aid provides assistance and relief on a non-discriminatory basis to help people outside the European Union, particularly the most vulnerable among them, and as a priority those in developing countries who are the victims of natural disasters, man-made crises, such as wars and outbreaks of fighting, or exceptional circumstances/circumstances comparable to natural or man-made disasters. It does so for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations give rise.

This appropriation may be used to finance the purchase and delivery of food, seeds, livestock or any product or equipment needed for the implementation of the humanitarian food aid operations.

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the measures that are essential for implementing food aid of a humanitarian nature within the requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisfies the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency. This includes:

- transport and distribution of aid, including any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading, coordination, etc.,

- back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid, the cost of which is not covered by other appropriations, e.g. exceptional transport and storage operations, processing or preparation of foodstuffs on the spot, disinfection, consultants’ services, technical assistance and equipment directly involved in providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

- supervision and coordination of food aid operations, notably the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of the products involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

- pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport, packaging or storage, studies of food aid operations, visibility operations linked to the humanitarian operations, and information campaigns to increase public awareness,

- storage of food (including administrative costs, future operations, with or without options, training of technicians, purchase of packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and repairing stores, etc.),

- the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian food aid projects, in particular expenditure incurred covering the cost of contracts of individual experts in the field and the infrastructure and logistics costs, covered by imprest accounts and expenditure authorisations, of DG Humanitarian Aid units deployed throughout the world.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 53 to 56 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make all efforts so that they commit to sending all their internal and external audits regarding the use of Union funds to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this budget heading, plus any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts, as technical assistance offices’ contracts expire during subsequent years.

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

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in Community/EU programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

On 29 September 2008 the Commission proposed a programme on "Interoperability Solutions for European Public Administrations" (ISA) as a successor to the IDABC programme, which came to an end in December 2009.

The ISA programme aims at facilitating the efficient and effective electronic cross-border and cross-sector interaction between European public administrations in support of the delivery of electronic public services.

In order to do so, the ISA programme must contribute to establishing the related organisational, financial and operational framework by ensuring the availability of common frameworks, common services and generic tools and by increasing the awareness of ICT aspects of Union legislation.

The ISA programme will thus contribute to the reinforcement and implementation of Union policies and legislation.

The programme is implemented in close cooperation and coordination with Member States and sectors, via studies, projects and accompanying measures.

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

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

Decision No 922/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 on interoperability solutions for European public administrations (ISA) (OJ L 260, 3.10.2009, p. 20).

Remarks

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with Point 25 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, is to allow a rapid response to the specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection where circumstances so require. The annual amount of the Reserve is fixed at EUR 221000000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices. This amount is exceptionally increased to EUR 479218000 for the year 2008 in current prices.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

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

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

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA countries take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an Annex to the EU budget. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2010 is estimated at about EUR 262400000 in commitment appropriations. The EFTA countries will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies. The figures and budget headings concerning the contributions by the EFTA countries are still to be discussed with them and must therefore be regarded as provisional.

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

A. INTRODUCTION

This annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 30(1) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).

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

At 31 December 2008, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 20541000000; of that total EUR 6494000000 was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 14047000000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate applicable at 31 December 2008).

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

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

1. Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1).

Council Regulation (EC) No 1360/2008 of 2 December 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (OJ L 352, 31.12.2008, p. 11).

Council Decision 2009/102/EC of 4 November 2008 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Hungary (OJ L 37, 6.2.2009, p. 5).

Council Decision 2009/290/EC of 20 January 2009 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia (OJ L 79, 20.1.2009, p. 39).

Council Decision 2009/459/EC of 6 May 2009 providing Community medium-term financial assistance for Romania (OJ L 150, 13.6.2009, p. 8).

Council Regulation (EC) No 431/2009 of 18 May 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (OJ L 128, 27.5.2009, p. 1)

2. Description

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member States which have not adopted the euro may benefit from this Community facility. The outstanding amount of loans is limited to EUR 12000000000 in principal.

On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 25000000000.

On 4 November 2008, the Council decided to provide a Community medium-term financial assistance for Hungary in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 6500000000 for a maximum average maturity of 5 years.

On 20 January 2009, the Council decided to provide a Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 3100000000 for a maximum average maturity of 7 years.

On 6 May 2009, the Council decided to provide a community medium-term financial assistance for Romania in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 5000000000 for a maximum average maturity of 5 years.

On 18 May 2009, The Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 50000000000.

3. Effect on the budget

Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated in case of default. As at 31 December 2009 the outstanding amount under this instrument was EUR 9200000000.

II. EURATOM BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS

Please refer to Point VII.

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

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 2007/860/EC of 10 December 2007 providing macro-financial assistance to Lebanon (OJ L 337, 21.12.2007, p. 111).

2. Description

A macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 50000000 for Lebanon was authorised by the Council on 10 December 2007.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

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

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 97/472/EC of 22 July 1997 providing macro-financial assistance for Bulgaria (OJ L 200, 29.7.1997, p. 61).

Council Decision 1999/731/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Bulgaria (OJ L 294, 16.11.1999, p. 27).

Council Decision 1999/732/EC of 8 November 1999 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance to Romania (OJ L 294, 16.11.1999, p. 29).

2. Description

On 22 July 1997 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria long-term, macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 250000000, to be paid in two tranches (BULGARIA III). The first tranche of EUR 125000000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February 1998. The second tranche of EUR 125000000 was paid on 22 December 1998.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria additional macro-financial assistance of a maximum of EUR 100000000 (BULGARIA IV). The loan was paid in two tranches. The first tranche of EUR 40000000 was paid to Bulgaria on 21 December 1999. The second tranche of EUR 60000000 was paid on 29 September 2000.

On 8 November 1999 the Council decided to grant Romania macro-financial assistance in the form of a long-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 200000000 for a maximum period of 10 years (ROMANIA IV). The first tranche of EUR 100000000 was paid on 29 June 2000. A second tranche of EUR 50000000 was paid on 17 July 2003.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

V. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR THE BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE COUNTRIES OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES AND MONGOLIA

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 95/442/EC of 23 October 1995 providing further macro-financial assistance for Ukraine (OJ L 258, 28.10.1995, p. 63).

Council Decision 96/242/EC of 25 March 1996 providing further macro-financial assistance for Moldova (OJ L 80, 30.3.1996, p. 60).

Council Decision 97/787/EC of 17 November 1997 providing exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia (OJ L 322, 25.11.1997, p. 37).

Council Decision 98/592/EC of 15 October 1998 providing supplementary macro-financial assistance for Ukraine (OJ L 284, 22.10.1998, p. 45).

Council Decision 2000/244/EC of 20 March 2000 amending Decision 97/787/EC providing exceptional financial assistance for Armenia and Georgia in order to extend it to Tajikistan (OJ L 77, 28.3.2000, p. 11).

2. Description

On 23 October 1995 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a second borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine.

The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 200000000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years, and will be disbursed in two tranches.

Half of the first tranche, i.e. EUR 50000000 of the EUR 100000000 planned, was paid in August 1996 and fully reimbursed on 29 August 2006. The second half of the first tranche was paid in December 1996 and fully reimbursed on 30 October 2006. The second tranche of EUR 100000000 was paid on 25 September 1997, and fully reimbursed on 25 September 2007.

On 17 November 1997 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for an exceptional borrowing-and-lending operation for Georgia and Armenia (a loan to Georgia for a maximum amount of EUR 142000000 in principal and a loan to Armenia for EUR 28000000), with a maximum duration of 15 years.

The loan was initially for a maximum amount of EUR 150000000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years. The first tranche of EUR 58000000 was paid on 30 July 1999. Disbursement of the balance, under Decision 2002/639/EC, of EUR 110000000 is no longer planned.

On 20 March 2000 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending operation for Tajikistan. The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 75000000 principal with a maximum duration of 15 years. A loan of EUR 60000000 was paid in 2001. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

3. Effect on the budget

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

The first tranche of EUR 25000000, for a maximum duration of 15 years, was paid to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on 30 September 1997. It will be repaid in five equal annual instalments from the 11th year.

The second tranche of EUR 15000000 was paid on 13 February 1998. It will be repaid in five equal annual payments from the 11th year.

On 10 May 1999 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending operation for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the form of a long-term loan for a maximum amount of EUR 20000000 in principal for a maximum duration of 15 years (Bosnia I).

The first tranche of EUR 10000000, for a maximum duration of 15 years, was paid to Bosnia and Herzegovina on 21 December 1999. The second tranche of EUR 10000000 was paid in 2001.

On 8 November 1999 the Council again decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing-and-lending operation for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the form of a long-term loan for a maximum amount of EUR 50000000 in principal for a maximum duration of 15 years (FYROM II).

The loan to Albania IV of EUR 9000000, for a maximum duration of 15 years, was fully disbursed in 2006.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

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

1. Legal basis

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

2. Description

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

The maximum amount of Euratom borrowings for the Member States and non-member countries remains fixed at EUR 4000000000.

In 2000 the Commission decided on a loan for Kozloduy in Bulgaria (EUR 212500000) and the last instalment was in 2006. In 2000 the Commission granted a loan to K2R4 in Ukraine but reduced the loan amount to the EUR equivalent of USD 83000000 in 2004. In 2007 K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39000000 (first tranche) in 2007 under the 2004 Commission Decision. In 2004 the Commission decided on a loan for Cernavod? in Romania (EUR 223500000). A first instalment of EUR 100000000 and a second one of EUR 90000000 were disbursed in 2005 and the last one of EUR 33500000 in 2006.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

2. General budget guarantee

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

This decision was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed by the European Economic Community and the European Investment Bank on 30 October 1978 in Brussels and 10 November 1978 in Luxembourg introducing a global guarantee of 75 % of all appropriations made available for loans in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Greece, former Yugoslavia and Lebanon.

The contract of guarantee is extended for each new Financial Protocol.

Decision 2006/1016/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Luxembourg on 1 August 2007 and in Brussels on 29 August 2007 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided in respect of EIB Financing Operations less amounts reimbursed, plus all related sum. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1).

3. Description

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7105000000, of which EUR 2310000000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible 6-month extension).

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

The Council decided on 29 November 1999 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600000000 and covered a period of 3 years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible 6-month extension).

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

On 22 December 1999, on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided once again to grant the European Investment Bank the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19460000000. The guarantee is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of 7 years from 1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not reached the abovementioned total values, the period has automatically been extended by 6 months.

On 4 December 2000 the Council decided to establish a European Investment Bank special action programme in support of the consolidation and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union. The value of those loans is limited to an overall ceiling of EUR 450000000.

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya (eligibility to be decided by the Council), Morocco, Syria, Tunisia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27800000000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of 6 months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

Decision 2006/1016/EC has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1).

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default,

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

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

In response to a call made by the Council on 9 October 1989, the Board of Governors of the European Investment Bank decided on 29 November 1989 to authorise the Bank to provide loans from its own resources to finance investment projects in Hungary and Poland for a total amount not exceeding EUR 1000000000. These loans are granted to finance investment projects which satisfy the Bank’s usual requirements for loans from its own resources.

On 14 May 1991 and 15 March 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of 2 years up to a maximum of EUR 700000000.

On 13 December 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided to renew for 3 years the European Union guarantee for EUR 3000000000 in European Investment Bank loans for projects in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Albania.

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7105000000, of which EUR 3520000000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 1997. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

The Council decided on 19 May 1998 to grant a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 150000000 for a period of 2 years beginning on 1 January 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

The Council decided on 14 December 1998 to amend Decision 97/256/EC in order to extend the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank to loans for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is EUR 100000000 for a period of 2 years beginning on 22 December 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

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

Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 22 December 1999 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19460000000. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of 7 years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by 6 months.

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

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

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

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

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following candidate countries: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27800000000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of 6 months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 190, 22.7.2009, p. 1).

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

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

- activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the general budget and no longer by the Guarantee Fund.

Technical notes on Tables

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

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

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

Column 4 "Amount outstanding at 31 December 2009": these are net figures, with no duplication as a result of refinancing operations. They are obtained by subtracting from the column 3 figure the cumulative total of repayments made up to 31 December 2008, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.

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

Without such appropriations, the Court of Auditors could be seriously hampered in performing its duties and its independence could be jeopardised. This appropriation also includes the cost of the audit of the Court of Auditors’ accounts by independent auditors whose report is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure resulting from budgetary decisions taken in the course of the financial year (expenditure that cannot be estimated).

[2188] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2009 budget (OJ L 69, 13.3.2009, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2009 to No 10/2009.

[2189] The third paragraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (former Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community) reads: "The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance".

[2190] The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2009 budget (OJ L 69, 13.3.2009, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2009 to No 10/2009.

[2191] The own resources for the 2010 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 145th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 12 May 2009.

[2192] The third paragraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (former Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community) reads: "The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance".

[2193] The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

[2194] For the period 2007-2013 only, the rate of call of the VAT resource for Austria shall be fixed at 0,225 %, for Germany at 0,15 % and for the Netherlands and Sweden at 0,10 %.

[2195] Calculation of rate: (93352686353) / (118255626000) = 0,789414334950965.

[2196] Rounded percentages.

[2197] The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to: (i) payments made to the 10 new Member States (which joined the EU on 1 May 2004) under 2003 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2004-2008, as well as payments made to Bulgaria and Romania under 2006 appropriations, as adjusted by applying the EU GDP deflator for years 2007-2008; and (ii) total allocated expenditure in those Member States, except for agricultural direct payments and market-related expenditure as well as that part of rural development expenditure originating from the EAGGF, Guarantee Section. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

[2198] The "UK advantage" corresponds to the effects arising for the United Kingdom from the changeover to capped VAT and the introduction of the GNP/GNI-based own resource.

[2199] These windfall gains correspond to the net gains of the United Kingdom resulting from the increase — from 10 to 25 % as of 1 January 2001 — in the percentage of traditional own resources retained by Member States to cover the collection costs of traditional own resources (TOR).

[2200] p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (121506703728 + 1430296272 = 122937000000 = 122937000000).

[2201] Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (121506703728) / (11825562600000) = 1,03 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.

[2202] Of which nine ad personam promotions (two AD 14 to AD 15, one AD 13 to AD 14, one AST 10 to AST 11, and five AST 4 to AST 5) granted in exceptional cases to deserving officials.
