Remarks

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

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

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,7536 %.

Legal basis

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), and in particular Article 2(1)(c) thereof.

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 21 03 and 22 02 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean third countries.

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

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

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

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1638/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 laying down general provisions establishing a European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (OJ L 310, 9.11.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

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

It is directly linked to the implementation by the recipient countries of macro-financial stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. As a rule, Union actions complement those of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

The existence of an independent national audit body in the recipient country is a condition for granting macro-financial assistance.

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

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover financial aid for the reconstruction in Georgia of the areas affected by the conflict with Russia. The actions should be primarily geared to the macro-financial stabilisation of the country. The total financial allocation for the aid was decided at an international donors’ conference in 2008.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover or temporarily pre-finance costs incurred by the Union in concluding and carrying out operations linked with macro-financial assistance borrowing and lending operations.

Remarks

Former Articles 01 04 04, 01 04 05 and 01 04 06

This appropriation is intended to cover payments in respect of commitments remaining to be settled from previous years.

Even though the end of the commitment period has been reached, the facilities have to be operated for several years during which time payments will be needed for investments and in order to honour guarantee obligations. Therefore reporting and monitoring requirements will continue until the end of the facility periods.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this case, Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1) applies.

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

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

Any revenue generated on Trust Accounts entered in Article 5 2 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this article, in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

New article

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

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

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

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

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 140(6) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released, and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6341 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 21(3)(i) of the Financial Regulation.

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

To achieve the general objectives of EaSI in terms of promoting a high level of employment, guaranteeing adequate social protection, combating social exclusion and poverty and improving working conditions the specific objectives of the Progress axis are to:

develop and disseminate high-quality comparative analytical knowledge in order to ensure that Union employment and social policy and working conditions legislation are based on sound evidence and are relevant to needs, challenges and conditions in the individual Member States and the other participating countries,

facilitate effective and inclusive information-sharing, mutual learning and dialogue on Union employment and social policy and working conditions legislation at Union, national and international level in order to assist the Member States and the other participating countries in developing their policies and in implementing Union law,

provide policymakers with financial support to promote social and labour market policy reforms, build up the main actors’ capacity to design and implement social experimentation, and make the relevant knowledge and expertise accessible,

monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the European Employment Guidelines and Recommendations and their impact, notably through the Joint Employment Report, and analysing the interaction between the EES and general economic and social policy areas,

provide Union and national organisations with financial support to develop, promote and support the implementation of Union employment and social policy and working conditions legislation,

raising awareness, exchanging good practice, disseminating information and promoting the debate on the key challenges and policy issues in relation to working conditions and the reconciliation of work and family life (e.g. family- and informal care-givers-friendly policies in the workplace, sufficient high quality and affordable childcare, supportive infrastructures for expectant- and working-mothers and those trying to re-enter the labour market, etc.) and the ageing society, including among social partners,

to encourage job creation, promote youth employment and fight poverty by promoting increased social convergence by means of Social Mark.

The aim of the Social Mark is to promote:

the application of minimum social standards throughout Europe through the regular monitoring and assessment of the businesses involved,

the improvement of social convergence at a European level,

a decline in insecure employment,

investments in socially responsible businesses.

This project will link in with works of the Expert group on social business, will complement the intermediate report on social business initiative expected for 2014, and will link in with other actions under EaSI and the European Strategy for Corporate Social Responsibility 2014-2020.

Social label is mentioned in 8 texts adopted by the European Parliament (of which, five are legislative texts).

A feasibility study and a high-level conference with stakeholders should explore the opportunities for the establishment of Social Mark - both with regard to political impact in different policy areas and at the level of enterprises. The study should in particular investigate:

the probable impact and benefits of the Social Mark in different policy areas,

what types of businesses wish to engage voluntarily in respecting minimum social criteria beyond the existing international, European and national social legislation,

a possibility of creating a charter of undertaking for businesses with good social values and establish progressive social criteria that must be respected in order for a business to benefit from this Social Mark,

to study how to assess and monitor the undertakings seeking this Social Mark,

how to put in place a communication plan (addressing businesses and citizens) with a website of Social Mark, with criteria for award, procedures, the list of companies awarded, etc.

This project should make it possible to simplify marks as a whole by creating a single European mark for consumers and investors for better information and increased transparency.

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

The general objective of the EaSI is to contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy and the related headline targets for employment, education and poverty by providing financial support for the Union’s objectives.

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

To achieve the general objectives of EaSI in particular to promote employment and social inclusion by increasing the availability and accessibility of microfinance for vulnerable groups and micro-enterprises, and by increasing access to finance for social enterprises, the specific objectives of the Microfinance and Social Entrepreneurship axis are to:

increase access to, and the availability of, microfinance for persons who have lost or are at risk of losing their jobs, or who have difficulty in entering or re-entering the labour market, persons at risk of social exclusion and vulnerable persons who are in a disadvantaged position with regard to access to the conventional credit market and who wish to start up or develop their own micro-enterprises; and for micro-enterprises, especially those which employ these persons as referred to,

build up the institutional capacity of microcredit providers,

support the development of social enterprises, in particular by facilitating access to finance.

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

In addition support could be provided to actions related to the implementation of the common provisions of EaSI such as monitoring, evaluation, dissemination of results and communication. Article 16 of the Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013 describes the types of actions which may be financed.

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

Article 174 TFEU sets out the Union’s objective of economic, social and territorial cohesion while Article 175 specifies the role of the Structural Funds in achieving this objective and makes provisions for the adoption of specific actions outside the Structural Funds.

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

Articles 53 and 54 of the proposal for a Regulation on the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (COM(2012) 617 final) (FEAD) on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the FEAD.

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

New article

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

FEAD shall promote social cohesion, enhance social inclusion and combat poverty in the Union by contributing to achieving the poverty reduction target of at least 20 million of the number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion in accordance with the Europe 2020 Strategy, whilst complementing the ESF. FEAD shall contribute to achieving the specific objective of alleviating and eradicating the worst forms of poverty, in particular food poverty, by providing non-financial assistance to the most deprived persons.

FEAD shall contribute to the sustainable eradication of food poverty, offering most deprived persons the prospect of a decent life. That objective and the structural impact of the FEAD shall be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed.

FEAD shall complement and shall not replace or reduce sustainable national poverty eradication and social inclusion programmes, which remain the responsibility of Member States.

Following the political agreement on the Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 884), it was agreed that provision shall be made for an additional increase of up to EUR 1 billion (on top of the EUR 2,5 billion already agreed) for the whole 2014-2020 period for this program for those Member States wishing to use this increase.

This political agreement was reflected in the budget appropriations entered in Budget 2014. Figures agreed are in 2011 prices.

The Commission and the Member States shall ensure via transitional provisions that activities eligible for support can start as of 1 January 2014, even if operational programmes have not yet been submitted.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used for operations carried out by the Confederation of European Senior Expert Services (CESES) and its Member Associations, including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public and private sector enterprises and institutions. For that to be achieved, Union authorizing officers are encouraged to make full use of the possibilities offered by the Financial Regulation, in particular taking into account in-kind financing by CESES as contribution to Union projects.

Remarks

Former Item 05 04 03 01

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

Building upon the preparatory work of the European Commission in 2013, the preparatory action shall provide support for Europe wide interlinking projects and activities in conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources in the framework of upcoming rural development programmes. It shall contribute to delivering the elements for a third Union genetic resources programme, specifically on the following questions:

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

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

how to improve the exchange of knowledge and research in enhancing genetic diversity within agricultural systems,

how to adapt breeding methods and legislation to the need for the conservation of genetic diversity and sustainable use of genetic resources,

how to contribute to the successful implementation of rural development measures through actions in the field of genetic diversity in agriculture,

how to reduce the administrative burden so as to improve access to actions.

Legal basis

Remarks

The project is supposed to bring together and promote cross-border agribusiness expertise in rural areas and to form agribusiness competence regions — so-called Agropols, which will offer a sustainable economic perspective to those areas. The Germany-Netherlands cross border region (at least 4 661 German micro and small enterprises (SMEs) in agriculture and horticulture; enterprises in industry; service companies, education and science institutions; administrations; chambers of industry and commerce, chambers of agriculture and associations) as a pioneer for other European agrarian regions illustrates how the on-going challenges of structural change in agriculture and increasing competition in the agricultural sector through cross-sector development into an Agropol can be successfully addressed:

scientific adaptation of the approach of sectoral economic development for an Agropol,

composing a strategic plan for developing a common European Agrobusiness-Food-Region,

mobilization of the stakeholder, particularly administration and economy, for the common aim,

cooperation becomes successful by the common approach: Resource conservation and efficiency / developing a master-plan are main focal points of the project. The project thereby also contributes towards surmounting global challenges such as climate change, scarcity of raw materials and natural resources as well as food security. Ecologically and economically effective industry and agriculture is supported, balanced rural development is promoted,

presentation of the transferability to other European regions.

It is expected, that the project will support the European 2020 Strategy and the flagship initiatives Agenda for new Skills and Jobs, Resource efficient Europe, Industrial Competitiveness and ETP 2020.

Remarks

Former Article 07 02 05

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

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

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

Finally, this preparatory action is intended to advance the establishment of the EU Arctic Information Centre as expressed in the Commission’s Communication on the European Union and the Arctic region of 20 November 2008 (COM(2008) 763 final) and in the European Parliament’s resolution of 20 January 2011 on a sustainable EU policy for the High North (OJ C 136 E, 11.5.2012, p. 71).

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

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Access to risk finance activity will set up two financial facilities, namely a debt facility and an equity facility, in order to help remedy the current market deficiencies in accessing risk finance for research and innovation. The goal of the debt facility is to improve access to debt financing for public and private entities and public-private partnerships engaged in research and innovation activities requiring riskier investments. The goal of the equity facility is in particular to contribute to overcoming the deficiencies of the European venture capital market and provide equity and quasi-equity to cover the development and financing needs of innovating enterprises from the early stage (including seed stage and technology transfer), so that they can grow and expand. In addition to these financial facilities to be implemented in complementarity with Cosme’s facilities as far as support to SMEs is concerned, a set of accompanying measures, such as support to investment-readiness schemes, will be provided.

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

Former Article 33 02 10

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

The proposed European Centre for Press and Media Freedom would follow on from the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Charter for Freedom of the Press by acting as a European-level ‘drop-in centre’ for journalistic organisations or individuals and media actors alleging violations of those Charters. The Centre would monitor and document any such violations. It would also act as an alarm centre for acute cases, for instance by organising support from foreign colleagues for journalists who need help. The Centre would benefit from input from a wide range of sources, including academic centres, regional partners from all over Europe and various journalistic organisations.

The territorial coverage of the centres would be the Member States and the candidate countries.

This project would be complementary to existing actions supported by the Union budget. More specifically, it would constitute the practical hands-on counterpart of the academically oriented ‘Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom’ based at the European University Institute in Florence. It would furthermore benefit from the momentum created by the High Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism set up by the Commission, and the European Parliament resolution of 21 May 2013 on the EU Charter: standard settings for media freedom across the EU.

The pilot project would cover start-up costs for such a centre and co-financing of its annual running costs.

Freedom and pluralism of the media, including independent media governance, are key elements for enabling the exercise of freedom of expression, which constitutes one of the essential foundations of the Union. Media pluralism and freedom is vital for our democratic societies.

This pilot project aims to support journalistic organisations or individuals and media actors, in the Member States and candidate and potential candidate countries which allege violations of the European Charter for Freedom of the Press.

Legal basis

Pilot project within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Remarks

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

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, which covers the 2014-2020 period.

Horizon 2020 shall play a central role in the implementation of the Europe 2020 flagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other flagship initiatives, notably ‘Resource efficient Europe’, ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, and ‘A digital agenda for Europe’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area (ERA). Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding.

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

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

This appropriation will be used in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for the participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).

Societal challenges

Remarks

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

New item

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

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

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

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

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

The fourth challenge is to get the elderly (aged 65 and above), the unemployed and low educated, migrants, people in need of care, people living in remote or poorer areas, persons with disabilities, and homeless to fully participate in society. Activities focus on empowering them with the necessary digital skills and providing them with access to digital technologies.

Activities cover collaboration, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. Also entered in this item 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 programme 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

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 21 and 178 of the Financial Regulation.

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

Articles 85, 144 and 145 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the EMFF.

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

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

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

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Former Article 11 04 01

This appropriation is intended to finance the following activities under the action plan for closer dialogue with the fishing industry and those affected by the Common Fisheries Policy and the Integrated Maritime Policy:

grants to (Regional) Advisory Councils (after the reformed CFP regulation is adopted, existing Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) will be transformed in Advisory Councils (ACs) and new ones will be created) to cover operational costs as well as interpretation and translation costs of (R)AC meetings,

the implementation of measures to provide documentation about and explain the Common Fisheries Policy aimed at the fishing industry and those affected by the Common Fisheries Policy , as well as the Integrated Maritime Policy.

The Commission will continue supporting the functioning of the ACs with a financial contribution. It will participate in meetings when appropriate and analyse the recommendations issued by the ACs which may provide an input when drafting legislation. Through the consultation of stakeholders in the (R)ACs, the involvement of people working in fisheries and other interest groups in the common fisheries policy process will be strengthened, so that greater account of specific regional characteristics is taken.

Part of the appropriation is earmarked also for information and communication activities linked to the Common Fisheries Policy and the Integrated Maritime Policy as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Efforts will continue to be made to inform the stakeholders and the specialised media in the new Member States as well as in the countries joining the Union in the forthcoming enlargement about the Common Fisheries Policy and the Integrated Maritime Policy.

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

Commercial designations fall within the remit of each Member State’s national authorities; a single instrument should be put in place to give European consumers guarantees that the various designations are transparent and coherent, and to make it easier to verify the information concerned.

The purpose of a pilot project would be to set up:

a database containing all information in connection with commercial designations (codes from FAO nomenclatures, combined nomenclatures, customs nomenclatures, health nomenclatures or INN); the scientific names of species according to the FishBase system; names of species in the official languages of the Member States and, possibly, accepted regional or local designations),

an expert system to analyse consistency between the various designations and nomenclatures,

a dedicated Internet site.

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

This appropriation is intended to be used to:

assess the feasibility for making the best possible use of active fishing vessels which need to be decommissioned from the Union fleet and of fishermen’s experience and practical know-how to benefit both of the fishermen themselves and society at large,

test under close to real-life conditions the technical and economic viability of redeploying — from fishing to maritime activities — individuals who have been active in the sector as crew members and who can no longer make their living from fishing and possess maritime experience and knowledge at risk of being lost in case alternative sources of income are sought in land-based activities,

test under close to real-life conditions the feasibility of converting fishing vessels into vessels operating as a platform for a number of environmental and maritime activities outside fishing, in particular collecting marine litter,

identify under close to real-life conditions the necessary operating costs of a vessel operating under such conditions and the potential sources of funding; however, any such funding should be limited to supporting the start-up of activities that are self-sustaining in the long term,

identify the appropriate training needed for fishermen in order to perform new duties and achieve useful results,

support reduction of fishing capacity in line with CFP reform objectives by providing positive incentives for vessel-owners and fishermen who leave the sector and encouraging them to find/develop alternative activities at sea and/or in coastal areas,

encourage activities complementing fishing for those fishermen staying in the sector,

identify the necessary administrative and legal framework for collaborating with the relevant authorities and/or relevant administrative bodies and for coordinating ‘Guardians of the Sea’ activities with them,

test under close to real-life conditions the implementation of the ‘Guardians of the Sea’ concept in the next programming period.

This appropriation is intended to finance support measures for small-scale fishing which will help coordinate actions and channel funds from other instruments, with a view to dealing with the specific problems in this part of the fisheries sector.

The pilot project will involve:

analysing the EU’s small-scale fishing sector;

identifying the EU instruments and funding sources that could be used by this sector;

establishing the uses to which the instruments, actions, measures and funding available are being put by the small-scale fishing sector;

analysing the extent to which existing instruments can meet the needs of the small-scale fishing sector and, on the basis of that analysis, proposing any adjustments that may be necessary;

supporting fishermen’s groups, professional organisations and NGOs associated with small-scale fishing, with a view to their coordination, preparation and participation in advisory councils.

The intention is to lay the foundations for an EU support programme for small-scale inshore fishing and artisanal fishing which will help coordinate actions and channel funds from other instruments, with a view to dealing with the specific problems in this sector of the fishing industry.

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

This appropriation is also intended to cover setting up a central coordination body assisting the Member States with market surveillance cooperation, building on existing structures and experience. This coordination body would support the cooperation, pooling of know-how and sharing of best practices between Member States to ensure the same high level of market surveillance throughout the Union, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products (OJ L 218, 13.8.2008, p. 30).

Furthermore, exchanges of national officials and joint visit programmes will foster the exchange of experience between Member States. In addition, comparative data on the resources dedicated to market surveillance in the different Member States will be collected and discussed at the appropriate level with national authorities. The aim is to create awareness about the need to have adequate resources to guarantee efficient, comprehensive and consistent market surveillance throughout the internal market, and contribute to the upcoming revision of the Union product safety rules, particularly those concerning market surveillance, and the preparation of the follow-up to the Customs 2013 programme.

Former Article 12 02 05

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

Article 175 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides that the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion set out in Article 174 shall be supported by the action it takes through the Structural Funds, which includes the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). According to Article 176, the ERDF is intended to help redress the main regional imbalances in the Union. The tasks, priority objectives and the organisation of the Structural Funds are defined in accordance with Article 177.

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

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

Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of pre-financing applicable to the ERDF.

Former Article 13 03 32

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

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

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

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

Funding for the preparatory action serves to:

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

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

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

A subcontractor assists stakeholders in drafting the action plan. The subcontractor is in charge of implementing the preparatory action and works under the supervision of the Commission.

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

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

The preparatory action funding serves to:

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

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

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

prepare stakeholders to implement the action plan.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 54(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union and repealing Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 (OJ L 298, 26.10.2012, p. 1).

Under IPA II, this appropriation will address the specific objective of regional integration and territorial cooperation involving beneficiary countries, Member States and, where appropriate, third countries within the scope of the proposal for a Regulation establishing a European Neighbourhood Instrument.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Remarks

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

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) of the European Union.

The Programme shall play a central role in the implementation of the Europe 2020 flagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other flagship initiatives, notably ‘Resource efficient Europe’, ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’, and ‘A digital agenda for Europe’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area (ERA). Horizon 2020 shall contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding.

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

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

This appropriation will be used in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 laying down the rules for participation and dissemination in ‘Horizon 2020 — the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020)’ and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 81).

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

New item

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

direct communication measures targeted at opinion multipliers, in particular stepped-up measures involving the regional daily press, which is a major information outlet for a large number of Union citizens,

the management of information centres for the general public in the Commission Representations.

Communication operations can be 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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on studies, evaluations, meetings of experts and expert technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts as well as the repayment of travel and related expenses of persons invited to follow the work of the Commission.

Former Item 16 04 02 01

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

The main types of tool concerned are:

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

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

the Europe Direct contact centre (00800-67891011),

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

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

This appropriation is also intended to:

fund the restructuring of the Europa site in a more coherent way and to professionalise the use of other online channels like social media, blogs and web 2.0. This includes all types of training actions for various groups of stakeholders,

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

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

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

the Representations’ publications (paper newsletters and periodicals): each Representation produces one or more publications that are distributed among multipliers and cover various fields (social, economic and political),

the dissemination (also through a decentralised network) of specific basic information on the European Union (in all the official Union languages) for the general public, coordinated from headquarters, and promotion of the publications.

Publishing costs cover, among other things, preparation and drafting (including authors’ fees), freelance editing, use of documentation, reproduction of documents, data purchase or management, editing, translation, revision (including checking the concordance of texts), printing, posting on the internet or installation in any other electronic medium, distribution, storage, dissemination and promotion of the publications.

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

New article

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure for achieving the objectives established through the multiannual consumer programme for the years 2014-2020. The aim of the programme is to ensure a high level of consumer protection and to empower consumers in the heart of the internal market within the framework of an overall strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, by contributing to the protection of the health, safety, legal and economic interests of consumers, as well as to the promotion of their right to information, education and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests, supporting the integration of such consumer interests into other policy areas. The programme will complement, support and monitor the policies of Member States.

This general objective shall be pursued through the following four specific objectives:

safety: to consolidate and enhance product safety through effective market surveillance throughout the Union,

information and education and support to consumer organisations: to improve consumers' education, information and awareness of their rights, to develop the evidence base for consumer policy and to provide support to consumer organisations, also taking into account the specific needs of vulnerable consumers,

rights and redress: to develop and reinforce consumer rights, in particular through smart regulatory action, and to improve access to simple, efficient, expedient and low-cost redress including alternative dispute resolution,

enforcement: to support enforcement of consumer rights by strengthening cooperation between national enforcement bodies and by supporting consumers with advice.

The new programme also needs to take into account new societal challenges which have grown in importance in recent years. They include: the increased complexity of consumer decision-making, the need to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption, the opportunities and threats that digitalisation brings, an increase in social exclusion and the number of vulnerable consumers and an ageing population.

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

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the Western Balkan potential candidates for participating in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, in accordance with Article 21(2)(e) to (g) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Regulation (EU) No 254/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 26 February 2014 on a multiannual consumer programme for the years 2014-2020 and repealing Decision No 1926/2006/EC (OJ L 84, 20.3.2014, p.42).

Remarks

The primary objective of the Union’s development policy is poverty reduction, as laid down in the Treaty. The European Consensus on Development provides the general policy framework, guidance and the focus to direct implementation of the DCI regulation.

Appropriations in this chapter will be used for the pursuit of poverty reduction, sustainable development and establishment and enjoyment of human rights, including those reflected in the Millennium Development Goals and in the emerging post-2015 international development framework. In support of this, part of the appropriation will be used for the promotion and consolidation of democracy, the rule of law and good governance. Synergies with other Union external instruments shall be sought where appropriate, without any loss of focus on the above basic objectives.

100 % of expenditure in the geographic programmes and at least 95 % of expenditure in the thematic programmes must conform to the OECD/DAC criteria for Official Development Assistance (ODA).

As a general rule, at least 20 % of appropriations should be used for basic social services.

21 02 07
Global public goods and challenges and poverty reduction, sustainable development and democracy

Remarks

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population in countries covered by the DCI regulation.

This appropriation is intended to cover poverty reduction and fostering sustainable development as a component under the Global Public Goods and Challenges (GPGC) thematic programme. The objective of the programme is to support inclusive sustainable development by addressing the main global public goods and challenges in a flexible and cross-cutting manner. The main areas of action include environment and climate change, sustainable energy, human development (including health, education, gender, equality, identity, employment, skills, social protection, social inclusion, and economic-development-related aspects such as growth, jobs, trade and private-sector engagement), food and nutrition security, sustainable agriculture, and migration and asylum. This thematic programme will also enable a swift response to be made to unforeseen events and global crises affecting the poorest populations. By promoting synergies across the various sectors, the GPGC programme will reduce fragmentation of Union development cooperation and increase coherence and complementarity with other Union programmes and instruments.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions under the ‘Food security and sustainable agriculture subtheme’, of the ‘Global public goods and challenges’ thematic programme.

It shall be used for strengthening developing countries’ capacities in relation to the four pillars of food security: food availability (production), access (including land, infrastructure for food transport from surplus to deficit areas, markets, domestic food reserves, safety nets), utilisation (nutrition interventions in socially aware ways) and stability. In so doing, it shall give priority to smallholder agriculture and livestock-keeping, food processing to create added value, governance, regional integration and assistance mechanisms for vulnerable populations.

Remarks

Former Article 23 02 01 and 23 02 02

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

The aid is granted to victims without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation. That assistance is provided as long as it is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations give rise.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of humanitarian aid operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, particularly of infrastructure and facilities, the costs associated with external, expatriate or local staff, storage, international or national shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the aid.

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

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations and the cost of the measures that are essential for implementing food aid operations of a humanitarian nature within the requisite timescale and in a way which meets the needs of the recipients, satisfies the requirement to achieve the greatest possible degree of cost-effectiveness and provides greater transparency.

It covers, inter alia:

feasibility studies on humanitarian operations, evaluations of humanitarian aid projects and plans, visibility operations and information campaigns linked to humanitarian operations,

the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans, the 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,

the supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the humanitarian and food aid concerned, in particular the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of the products involved, including the use of counterpart funds,

measures to strengthen Union coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international organisations and institutions (in particular those forming part of the United Nations), non-governmental organisations and organisations representing the latter,

the financing of technical assistance contracts to facilitate the exchange of technical know-how and expertise between Union humanitarian organisations and agencies or between such bodies and those of third countries,

studies and training linked to the achievement of the objectives of the humanitarian and food aid policy area,

action grants and running cost grants in favour of humanitarian networks,

humanitarian mine-clearance operations including public awareness campaigns for local communities on anti-personnel mines,

expenditure incurred by the network on humanitarian assistance (NOHA), pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1257/96. This is a one-year multidisciplinary postgraduate diploma in the humanitarian field designed to promote greater professionalism amongst humanitarian workers and involving several participating universities,

the 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.),

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

the storage of food (including administrative costs, futures 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 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 the Directorate-General for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection units deployed throughout the world.

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 58 to 62 of the Financial Regulation, the Commission, when concluding or modifying agreements on the management and implementation of projects by international organisations, will make every effort to commit to sending all their internal and external audits regarding the use of Union funds to the European Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission.

Any income from financial contributions from Member States and third countries, including in both cases their public agencies, entities or natural persons to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission on their behalf, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations. Such contributions under Article 6 3 3 of the statement of revenue constitute assigned revenue under Article 21(2)(b) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 187(7) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Remarks

Decision No 922/2009/EC established a programme on ‘Interoperability solutions for European public administrations’ (ISA) as a successor to the IDABC programme, which came to an end in December 2009.

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

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

The ISA programme thus contributes 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.

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

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

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

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1293/2013, this appropriation may cover activities outside the Union and in overseas countries and territories in accordance with Decision 2001/822/EC (OJ L 314, 30.11.2001, p. 1) provided those activities are necessary to achieve Union environmental and climate objectives and to ensure the effectiveness of interventions carried out in Member State territories to which the Treaties apply. A legal person established outside the Union may be able to participate in the projects financed through action grants provided the beneficiary coordinating the project is based in the Union and the activity to be carried out outside the Union is necessary to achieve Union environmental and climate objectives and to ensure the effectiveness of interventions carried out in the Member States.

(1)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2014 budget (OJ L 51, 20.2.2014) plus Amending budgets No 1 and 2/2014.

(2)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2013 budget (OJ L 66, 8.3.2013, p. 1) plus amending budget No 1 to No 9/2013.

(3)  The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(4)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2014 budget (OJ L 51, 20.2.2014) plus Amending budgets No 1 and 2/2014.

(5)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2013 budget (OJ L 66, 8.3.2013, p. 1) plus amending budget No 1 to No 9/2013.

(6)  The own resources for the 2014 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 157th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 16 May 2013.

(7)  The third subparagraph of Article 310(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(8)  The base to be used does not exceed 50 % of GNI.

(9)  Calculation of rate: (101 728 925 788) / (134 994 014 000) = 0,753581012769944.

(10)  Rounded percentages.

(11)  The amount of enlargement-related expenditure corresponds to total allocated expenditure in the ten Member States which joined the Union on 1 May 2004 and the two Member States which joined the Union on 1 January 2007, 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.

(12)  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.

(13)  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).

(14)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (135 921 805 438 + 3 112 428 277 = 139 034 233 715 = 139 034 233 715).

(15)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (135 921 805 438) / (13 499 401 400 000) = 1,01 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,23 %.

(16)  The establishment plan includes, pursuant to Article 53 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, the following permanent posts for the Supply Agency: one ad personam AD 15 for the Director-General of the Agency, two AD 14 (of which one for the Deputy Director-General of the Agency), three AD 12, one AD 11, two AD 10, one AST 10, two AST 8, one AST 7, nine AST 6, one AST 5 and two AST 3.

(17)  The establishment plan accepts the following ad personam appointments: up to 25 AD 15 may become AD 16; up to 21 AD 14 may become AD 15; up to 13 AD 11 may become AD 14 and one AST 8 may become AST 10.

(18)  The establishment plan accepts the following ad personam appointments: two AD 15 become AD 16; one AD 14 becomes AD 15.
