The context The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (hereinafter “the Agency”) was set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 168/2007[1] (hereinafter, “the Regulation”). According to Article 2 of the Regulation, the Agency's objective is to provide the relevant institutions, bodies and offices and agencies of the Union and its Member States when implementing Union law with assistance and expertise relating to fundamental rights in order to support them when they take measures or formulate courses of action within their respective spheres of competence to fully respect fundamental rights. Pursuant to Article 28(1) of the Council Regulation 168/2007/EC, the Agency shall be open to the participation of candidate countries as observers. The participation and the respective modalities should be determined by a decision of the relevant Association Council, whereby the particular nature, extent and manner of participation will be defined. Upon adoption of this decision, the Agency will be able to deal with fundamental rights issues in the candidate country in question within the scope of Article 3(1) of the Regulation, to the extent necessary for the gradual alignment of the country to Union law. 2. The proposed Decision The Commission proposes to the Council the adoption of a decision on a Union position in the EU-the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Stabilisation and Association Council on the issue of the participation of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the Agency. The proposed decision includes a draft decision of the Stabilisation and Association Council, which complies with the requirements of Article 28. In conformity with one of the basic principles underpinning the Regulation (i.e., the Agency works on the basis of a thematic, as opposed to country-specific, approach) the draft Decision enables the Agency to carry out in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia the tasks laid down in Article 4 and 5 of the Regulation. The draft Decision also lays down that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia shall appoint an observer and alternate observer to the Management Board of the Agency. These persons should comply with the criteria laid down in Article 12(1) of the Regulation. They shall participate in the works of the Management Board on equal footing with the members and alternate members appointed by Member States, but without a right to vote. The Decision for participation in the Agency's work includes also provisions relating to the the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's s financial contribution and to staff. The proposed Decision makes provisions for a financial contribution based on a participation starting in 2011 (first year of participation in annex I, point 5). The draft decision is also in line with the Staff Regulations of Officials of the European Communities and the Conditions of Employment of Other Servants of the European Communities. The ratio between administrative and operational costs of the Agency’s budget for the EU Member States is also applicable, on average on the candidate countries estimates. The draft decision is accompanied by a financial statement. 2010/0350 (NLE) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on a Union position in the EU-the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia Stabilisation and Association Council on the participation of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as an observer in the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights' work and the respective modalities , within the framework set in Articles 4 and 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 168/2007, including provisions relating to participation in initiatives undertaken by the Agency, to the financial contribution and to staff THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 352 in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: 1.

Specific objective(s) and ABM/ABB activity(ies) concerned Specific objective: The decision will allow the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to participate as an observer in the Agency's work and the Agency to cover fundamental rights issues in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. ABM/ABB activity concerned: 18 04 "Fundamental rights and citizenship". Expected result(s) and impact This decision will contribute to the successful preparation of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia for fully-fledged membership in the European Union. Indicators of results and impact Specify the indicators for monitoring implementation of the proposal/initiative The decision enables the Agency to carry out in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia the tasks laid down in Article 4 and 5 of the Regulation. The FRA Performance Measurement Framework will be in place on 2011 and is supplemented by the performance measures which serve to determine the extent to which the Agency will deliver the expected results. The FRA logic model, which is common to all the 9 different but interlinked thematic areas, sets out a pre-defined types of outputs to be delivered within the different projects, which are expected to lead to the immediate outcomes and eventually contribute to the intermediate outcomes and to the final, overarching impact of the Agency ( ultimate outcome ) At output level , the ability to benchmark the type of outputs (for example number of institutional reports, surveys, thematic reports, good practices identified, development of statistical tools and methods, training and mutual learning etc.) and the definition of more precise quantitative and qualitative information to be collected throughout the year (standard reporting templates, surveys of participants based on a standardised questionnaire, standard checklist for quality assessment of the delivered outputs) will generate continuously monitoring data throughout that will be summarised, analysed and interpreted twice a year (for interim and annual performance monitoring reports). Likewise, in order to allow more specific information to be collected at outcome level the Monitoring Framework foresees running some annual surveys (for each thematic area); these will be based on largely uniform questionnaires, which will be adjusted to reflect the specific issues pertaining to a particular thematic area. Similarly, more in-depth qualitative desk research will be needed at the intermediate outcome level to enable the analysis and interpretation of achievements across thematic areas to be tracked and reported on. Additionally, focus group meetings will help to interpret the collected monitoring information by contextualising and synthesising (in order to assess e.g. how and to what extent does FRA contribute to (1) effective information-sharing/learning and a greater shared understanding of FR among policy/decision-makers and stakeholders in the Member States (2) evidence-based EU policies and legislation within its area and relevant to needs, challenges and conditions in Member States (3) better incorporation of cross-cutting FR issues and greater consistency in related EU policies and legislation etc). Grounds for the proposal/initiative Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term The decision should allow the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to participate in the Agency's work as an observer and the Agency to cover fundamental rights issues in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Added value of EU involvement By dealing with fundamental rights issues in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia the Agency will be of help to the necessary gradual alignment to Union law of the country. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past The proposal for the Regulation (EC) No 168/2007 contained an impact assessment dealing with the issue of the geographical scope of the Agency's activities. The European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), the pre-cursor of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights carried out PHARE projects in different candidate countries (i.e. RO, BG, TR and HR) which proved very positive for both candidate countries and the EUMC. Coherence and possible synergy with other relevant instruments Part of the cost of the participation of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia will be borne by IPA. Duration and financial impact Proposal/initiative of limited duration - Proposal/initiative in effect, from 2011 to the date of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's accession to the EU - Financial impact from 2011 to 2013 Management mode(s) envisaged[3] ( Centralised indirect management with the delegation of implementation tasks to: - ( bodies set up by the Communities[4] MANAGEMENT MEASURES Monitoring and reporting rules Specify frequency and conditions.
