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 Community 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 133 845 980 000 in commitment appropriations and EUR 116 096 060 000 in payment appropriations, representing a growth rate of 2,51 % and of 0,28 % respectively by comparison with the 2008 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 116 096 060 000. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,3278 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,5847 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties, agricultural duties and sugar levies) account for 16,54 % of the financing of the budget for 2009. The VAT resource accounts for 16,90 % and the GNI resource for 65,39 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 359 720 000.

The own resources needed to finance the 2009 budget account for 0,88 % 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 2000/597/EC, Euratom of 29 September 2000 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 253, 7.10.2000, p. 42).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2009 budget.

Calculation of the uniform call rate for VAT own resources (Article 2(4) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

Uniform rate (%) = maximum call rate – frozen rate

 

A. The maximum call rate is set at 0,50 % for 2009

B. Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom):

 

(1) calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden:

 

In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution.

 

Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany:

 

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = (Germany’s capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)) × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction

 

Example: Germany

Germany’s theoretical VAT contribution = 11 027 669 000 / (59 849 511 500 -9 617 309 000 ) × 1/4 × 6 279 852 489 = 344 660 055

 

(2) calculation of the frozen rate:

 

Frozen rate = (UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)) / (EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL + A + S))

Frozen rate = (6 279 852 489 – (344 660 055 + 93 505 504 + 40 278 555 + 47 438 124 )) / (59 849 511 500 – (9 617 309 000 + 11 027 669 000 + 2 991 782 000 + 1 288 744 000 + 1 517 820 000 ))

Frozen rate = 0,172242649704235 %

Uniform rate

0,5 % – 0,172242649704235 % = 0,327757350295765 %

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.

Article 15 of the Financial Regulation states that the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 34 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget.

A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure of Section III ‘Commission’.

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty expires.

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 2007 will be used for research in 2009. 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 2009 comes to EUR 51 719 000.

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, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 23 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Remarks

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.

As part of its audit work, the Court of Auditors has to call on outside experts for technical studies and analyses (chemical, physical and statistical). The need for appropriations to cover the cost of studies contracted out to experts is justified by the specialised and sometimes unforeseeable nature of the studies in question. 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).


(1)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2008 budget (OJ L 71, 14.3.2008, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2008 to No 10/2008.

(2)  The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

(3)  The figures in this column correspond to those in the 2008 budget (OJ L 71, 14.3.2008, p. 1) plus Amending Budgets No 1/2008 to No 10/2008.

(4)  The own resources for the 2009 budget are determined on the basis of the budget forecasts adopted at the 142nd meeting of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources on 7 May 2008.

(5)  The third paragraph of Article 268 of the Treaty establishing the European Community reads: ‘The revenue and expenditure shown in the budget shall be in balance’.

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

(7)  Calculation of rate: (75 914 122 532) / (129 843 731 000) = 0,584657587607607 %.

(8)  Rounded percentages.

(9)  The amount of pre-accession expenditure (PAE) corresponds to the sum, as adjusted by applying the EU-27 GDP deflator for 2007, of payments made under 2003 appropriations to the 10 new Member States which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 (as adjusted by applying the EU-25 GDP deflator for 2004, 2005 and 2006) as well as of payments made under 2006 appropriations to Bulgaria and Romania. This amount is deducted from total allocated expenditure to ensure that expenditure which is unabated before enlargement remains so after enlargement.

(10)  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.

(11)  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).

(12)  p.m. (own resources + other revenue = total revenue = total expenditure); (114 736 339 840 + 1 359 722 489 = 116 096 062 329 = 116 096 062 329).

(13)  Total own resources as percentage of GNI: (114 736 339 840) / (12 984 373 100 000) = 0,88 %; own resources ceiling as percentage of GNI: 1,24 %.

(14)  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.

Remarks

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22) stipulates that the Commission shall be entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress when the ECSC Treaty expires.

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 2007 will be used for research in 2009. 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 2009 comes to EUR 51 719 000.

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.

This Article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 03, 19 08 and 19 01 of the statement of expenditure in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

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.

the cost of any adjustments to remuneration approved by the Council during the financial year.

The amounts in the reserve will be released in the following manner:

In line with the concluding remarks of the study ordered by the policy department on budgetary affairs of the European Parliament on ‘Decentralisation following the reform of the European Commission: evaluation and perception’, this exercise has to take into consideration the specific features of each task and function in order to reprioritise in the long term the resources allocated to administrative support and coordination functions between central services and operational directorates-general,

These guidelines, agreed between DG Communication and the other directorates-general, should aim to guarantee an adequate level of harmonisation in presentation of communication policy and be respected by all actors within the Commission with the aim of developing a recognisable EU mark to be used in all communication measures,

EUR 6 295 320 of the appropriations in the reserve will be released when the Commission has fulfilled the conditions originally tabled to Item 19 01 01 01, namely: to create in all services concerned specific units for the follow-up of European Union contributions in international trust funds,

EUR 1 416 000 of the appropriations in the reserve will be released when the Commission has fulfilled the conditions originally tabled to Article 06 01 01, namely:

(b)

formal withdrawal of the proposal for a Council Regulation on the Financial Regulation applicable to the Euratom Supply Agency (COM(2007) 108 final).

A general description of the officials’ salaries and other benefits is given on the ‘Working at the Commission’ page of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Personnel and Administration website.

The Council Regulation updating the salary scales of officials and other servants of all the European Union institutions, including increments and allowances, is published every year in the Official Journal (latest adjustment in OJ L 345, 23.12.2008, p. 10).

The new posts for 2009 are part of the overall increase of 850 new staff over a transitional period from 2006 to 2009 for the enlargement to include Bulgaria and Romania.

an assessment of IT solutions for the management of Structural Funds in the Commission and the Member States, aiming at analysing existing IT solutions (a) in the Member States for the implementation of projects and (b) in the Commission for supervising the implementation of Structural Funds. Tangible recommendations to improve evaluation, auditing and reporting of Structural Funds are deducted.

According to Eurobserver, energy-wood production in the Member States stood at 47,3 million tonnes of oil equivalent in 2000. Most (85 %) was used for heating; some was used for electricity production (29,6 TWh). Energy wood has a 6,3 % share of European Union primary energy production but accounts for no more than 2 % of total energy consumption in the EU. Energy wood is the main renewable energy source in the European Union and accounts for 54 % of primary energy production from renewable sources. Added to that, only two-thirds of the annual growth of the forests in the European Union is utilised today.

At present, however, there is no regular supply of comprehensive, reliable statistics on the production and/or sale of wood, particularly heating wood, in Europe. The main repositories of statistics on wood resources are the government departments in charge of agricultural matters in each Member State. However, there are major disparities in calculation and data collection methods and the way in which the statistics are used. Owing to these disparities, some estimates of European wood resources are twice as high as others.

Lastly, it is extremely difficult to estimate the wood stocks held by retailers and private individuals. It is thus customary to assume that energy-wood production is equal to its consumption, which is the same thing as deeming stock variations and the import-export balance to be negligible.

The European Union views energy wood and wood offcuts from tree felling, as well as third-generation renewable energy products, as a priority for future energy supply purposes, with a view to enhancing its energy independence and pursuing its sustainable development strategy. The indicative target set for 2010 is to cover 12 % of gross domestic energy production from renewable sources. This corresponds to approximately one million homes heated using wood (in private, collective or district heating systems).

A reliable statistical tool is therefore needed that will enable an accurate estimate to be made of energy wood resources as against overall wood resources, with a view to meeting the sustainable development objectives the European Union has set itself.

Remarks

This exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macro-economic 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 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 is to be 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

Pursuant to the Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans made by the European Investment Bank (EIB) in the context of the European Union's financial commitments in respect of the Mediterranean countries.

This decision was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Economic Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 30 October 1978 and in Luxembourg on 10 November 1978 setting up a comprehensive guarantee, equal to 75 % of all the funds available for loan operations in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, former Yugoslavia and Lebanon.

Decision 90/62/EEC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Economic Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 24 April 1990 and in Luxembourg on 14 May 1990 as regards Hungary and Poland and for the extension of that contract to cover Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, signed in Brussels and in Luxembourg on 31 July 1991.

Decision 93/696/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 22 July 1994 and in Luxembourg on 12 August 1994.

Pursuant to Decisions 93/115/EEC and 96/723/EC, the European Union guarantees loans which may be made individually by the EIB in countries of Latin America and Asia with which the European Community has concluded cooperation agreements. Decision 93/115/EEC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 4 November 1993 and in Luxembourg on 17 November 1993. Decision 96/723/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 18 March 1997 and in Luxembourg on 26 March 1997.

Pursuant to Decision 95/207/EC, the European Union guarantees loans which may be made individually by the EIB in South Africa. Decision 95/207/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB signed in Brussels on 4 October 1995 and in Luxembourg on 16 October 1995.

Concerning Decision 97/256/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB was signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997, setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations opened is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000.

Concerning Decision 2000/24/EC as amended, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB was signed in Brussels on 24 January 2000 and in Luxembourg on 17 January 2000, last restated in 2005, setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The EIB 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.

Concerning Decision 2001/777/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB was signed in Brussels on 6 May 2002 and in Luxembourg on 7 May 2002, setting up a guarantee at 100 % against losses under a special lending action for selected environment projects in the Baltic Sea basin of Russia under the Northern Dimension. The overall ceiling is EUR 100 000 000.

Concerning Decision 2005/48/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB was signed in Luxembourg on 9 December 2005 and in Brussels on 21 December 2005, setting up a guarantee at 100 % against losses under loans for certain types of projects in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. The overall ceiling is EUR 500 000 000. It covers a period ending on 31 January 2007. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the EIB have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically extended by six months.

Concerning Decision 2006/1016/EC, a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the EIB was 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 sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under the Decision is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months.

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 2000/597/EC, Euratom on the system of the Communities’ own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1) shall apply.

This Item constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European Union. It will enable the Commission, if necessary, to service the debt (repayment of principal, interest and other costs) should a debtor default on the loans granted by the EIB.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on 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.

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 will address 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 European Investment Fund (EIF), the Community'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 will therefore be continued and adapted in the new programme.

The Community Financial Instruments for SMEs will ease the supply of seed and early stage 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 will 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.

The SME Guarantee Facility will continue to provide counter or co-guarantees to guarantee schemes operating in eligible countries, and direct guarantees to financial intermediaries. It will concentrate 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 will mobilise additional debt financing for SMEs under appropriate risk-sharing arrangements with the targeted institutions.

A Capacity Building Scheme will 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 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 31 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 45 47 48 51 52 53 57 58 59 60 64 65 66 67 68 74 75 76 77 82 83 84 85 86 92 94 95 96 97 98 104 106 107 108 109 110 116 117 120 121 122 123 128 129 132 133 134 135 140 141 144 145 146 147 148 154 155 158 159 162 163 164 165 166 172 173 174 178 179 182 183 184 185 186 187 190 191 192 193 194 195 200 201 202 205 206 207 211 213 214 215 216 217 222 223 226 227 230 231 234 236 238 239 240 244 245 248 249 252 253 254 255 256 262 263 266 267 270 271 272 276 277 280 281 284 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320) pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto.

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 are 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 2 000 000 000 to EUR 3 000 000 000 and, maintaining the current paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 000 000 to EUR 600 000 000. 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.

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 Community will provide support to projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of innovative or eco-innovative techniques, products or practices of Community 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.

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 V 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 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.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item, in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

The Commission is requested to provide information on the actions undertaken or planned to be taken to overcome implementation difficulties. This information should be presented at forthcoming trialogue meetings. This is in line with the Joint Statement of the European Parliament and the Commission to ensure proper budget implementation (OJ C 317 E, 23.12.2006, p. 597).

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the progressive operational implementation of Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) services, starting by organising and setting up an operational service of ‘rapid mapping’ for risks linked to the security of citizens. This will allow research efforts to come to operational fruition in the specific case of a rapid mapping service in support of civil protection bodies and humanitarian aid in the emergency response phase.

The service is conceived as a support for intervention, in Europe and outside Europe, by civil protection bodies, humanitarian aid actors and other potential users. They will have access to reference and rapid assessment mapping on crisis areas within respectively six and 24 hours after the disaster or crisis occurs. Services provided by this preparatory action will be available to Commission services based on a governance structure to be developed.

This action is expected to have a unifying role with a view to gradually moving all GMES services from purely research activities towards market innovation.

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 1 200 billion and a workforce of 12 million people, 9,7 million of whom are waged employees, the building industry generates 10 % of the EU'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 EU's targets for the use of renewable energy (20 % of gross internal consumption by 2020).

The aim of this project is therefore to bring to bear a 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 Community schemes to foster the development of SMEs and innovation (risk capital/loan guarantees).

Small firms would not, of course, receive Community 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 R&D support programmes and transnational research, SMEs should be involved in transnational projects subcontracting their expertise. The approach might lead to potential enhancing of the skills and innovative strategies giving a competitive edge to 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, which could be implemented at EU level.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the payments in respect of commitments relating to previous 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 V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Legal basis

Decision No 791/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 establishing a Community action programme to promote bodies active at European level and support specific activities in the field of education and training (OJ L 138, 30.4.2004, p. 31).

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions of associations of undertakings and restrictive practices (Article 81 of the Treaty), abuses of a dominant position (Article 82 of the Treaty), aids granted by States (Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty) 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 in accordance with the Treaty.

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 Court of First Instance.

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 EU 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.

Legal basis

Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and derived legislation, notably:

Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 of 16 December 2002 on the implementation of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty (OJ L 1, 4.1.2003, p. 1).

Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (the EC Merger Regulation) (OJ L 24, 29.1.2004, p. 1).

Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty establishing the European Community and derived legislation, notably:

Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty (OJ L 83, 27.3.1999, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the social partners’ participation in the European employment strategy and the implementation of the Lisbon Strategy. It is intended to cover grants for promoting social dialogue at cross-industry and sectoral level in accordance with Articles 138 and 139 of the Treaty. The appropriations will therefore be used to finance consultations, meetings, negotiations and other operations designed to achieve these objectives.

In addition, as the heading suggests, this appropriation can cover support for industrial relations measures, in particular those designed to develop expertise and exchange of information on a European basis.

This appropriation may also cover funding of measures involving representatives of the social partners in the candidate countries. It is also intended to promote equal participation of women 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, three subprogrammes have been established:

support for European social dialogue,

improvement of expertise in industrial relations,

corporate social responsibility, inter alia by supporting projects of NGOs and NGO platforms aiming to promote innovation, transparency and convergence of corporate social responsibility (‘CSR’) practices and instruments.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on information and training measures for workers’ organisations, including representatives of workers’ organisations in the candidate countries, deriving from the implementation of Community action on the social dimension of the internal market, including gender equality issues, and monetary union. These measures should help workers’ organisations to contribute to the goals of the Lisbon Strategy.

In addition, this appropriation covers support for the work programmes of the two specific trade union institutes, ETUI-REHS (European Trade Union Institute — Research, Education, Health and Safety) and EZA (European Centre for Workers’ Questions), which have been established to facilitate capacity building through training and research at European level, as well as to improve the degree of involvement of workers’ representatives in European governance.

Part of this appropriation is intended to finance measures involving representatives of workers’ organisations in the candidate countries, a large proportion of which should go to women representatives.

This appropriation is intended to cover funding operations in order to ensure the conditions for fostering the development of employee involvement in undertakings by promoting Directives 94/45/EC and 97/74/EC on European works councils, Directives 2001/86/EC and 2003/72/EC on employee involvement in the European Company and European Cooperative Society, respectively, Directive 2002/14/EC establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Community and Article 16 of Directive 2005/56/EC on cross-border mergers of limited liability companies.

This appropriation covers, in particular, the funding of measures aimed at strengthening transnational cooperation between workers’ and employers’ representatives in respect of information, consultation and participation within undertakings operating in more than one Member State.

In this context part of this appropriation also covers the setting-up of information and observation points to inform and help the social partners and undertakings to set up transnational consultation, participation and information structures, and to foster relations with the European institutions.

This appropriation may also be used to finance short training actions for negotiators and representatives working with the transnational information, consultation and participation bodies as well as actions involving representatives of social partners in candidate countries.

It may also be used to finance measures aiming to enable the social partners to exercise their rights and their duties as regards information, consultation and participation in Community scale undertakings, especially within the framework of their European work councils and to familiarise the actors represented at company level with Transnational company agreements and strengthen their cooperation within the Community framework.

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 Community 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 Community 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.

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 V 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 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,

Remarks

Pursuant to Article 145 of the Treaty, the European Parliament can ask the Commission to draw up reports on problems concerning the social situation. The Commission presents each year a report on the social situation and every two years a report on demographic change and its implications.

In particular, the following aims will be pursued:

analysis of the impact of population ageing in the context of a society for all ages, in terms of trends in needs, behaviour and flanking policies, including research on elderly minorities/migrants, as well as on ageing and ethnicity,

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 Community policies, such as the free movement of persons and equality between men and women.

Remarks

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 Community 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 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, in particular, the synergy this would create 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 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 31 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 45 47 48 51 52 53 57 58 59 60 64 65 66 67 68 74 75 76 77 82 83 84 85 86 92 94 95 96 97 98 104 106 107 108 109 110 116 117 120 121 122 123 128 129 132 133 134 135 140 141 144 145 146 147 148 154 155 158 159 162 163 164 165 166 172 173 174 178 179 182 183 184 185 186 187 190 191 192 193 194 195 200 201 202 205 206 207 211 213 214 215 216 217 222 223 226 227 230 231 234 236 238 239 240 244 245 248 249 252 253 254 255 256 262 263 266 267 270 271 272 276 277 280 281 284 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320). The figures, which date from 2006, show large variations between Member States, which should be reduced.

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.

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 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 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

The aim of the proposed Convention is to offer — at the time of the mid-term reviews of EU programmes in 2008 to 2009 — recommendations on policy frameworks and measures which will foster a sustainable approach to the future of urban and rural areas in Europe, achieved through effective partnership between governments and civil society.

The Convention is designed to bring together rural and urban interests, mainly through a series of thematic seminars based in different European regions, to focus together on the means by which European and national programmes can be used so as to maximise the mutual benefit of urban and rural areas in a truly sustainable way.

It is envisaged that each seminar will focus on one or more of a series of major themes or issues within the broad context of sustainability: either general issues, 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, 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. Particular focus will be on the interdependence of cities and rural areas and on overarching regional 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 achieving 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 2008 to 2009.

These events, and these outputs, will be aimed at decision-makers in all sectors and at European, national and regional level. The challenge will be to turn these many groups into not merely target audiences, but active participants in the Convention process. The proposed Convention will be jointly initiated by a group of partner organisations, which represent different sides of this major urban/rural issue and which share a commitment to focus on how cities and rural regions can work together to achieve a sustainable future for both sides.

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 1 305 700 000 results from the compulsory modulation in conformity with Article 10 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (OJ L 270, 21.10.2003, p. 1). In addition an amount of EUR 424 000 000 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.

This appropriation also aims to finance climate change adaptation measures, such as the construction of flood walls and raising the level of dykes against sea level rise, development of drought tolerant crops, selection of forestry species and practices less vulnerable to storms and fires and the development of spatial plans and corridors to help species migrate.

In accordance with the EU's commitments under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the establishment of a European open data and pooling bank for traditional plant varieties should be encouraged which will enable non-governmental organisations and private and public-sector bodies to set up, alongside Member States’ national gene banks, a seed pool for traditional varieties which are particularly valuable for preserving biodiversity in agriculture and for producing quality foodstuffs.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to set up a pilot project for assessing the actual costs to farmers of complying with EU legislation in the fields of the environment, animal welfare and food safety which goes beyond the standards to which import products are subject. 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.

This appropriation 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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended for 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 154 to 156 of the Treaty establishing the European Community). 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,

to speed up the Member States’ implementation of trans-European transport network projects of common interest,

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.

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

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.

Part of the appropriation should facilitate the establishment of the NG3 gas corridor (Middle East-Caspian-EU route) by establishing a coordinator's office that actively proposes legal, financial and political solutions to issues faced in this strategic area. Allocation of the funds will be at the discretion of the EU coordinator, within the limits of the applicable legal basis. The coordinator will use this office to approach producer states.

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 Community.

All proposals will be subject to environmental impact assessment and local consultation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial support for measures and projects contributing to the implementation, updating and development of Community environmental policy and legislation, including the integration of the environment into other policies, thereby contributing to sustainable development. In particular, LIFE+ shall support the implementation of the ‘Sixth Community Environment Action Programme’, including the thematic strategies, and finance measures and projects with European added value in three priority areas: nature and biodiversity, environment policy and governance, and information and communication.

At least 78 % of appropriations shall be used for action grants to projects, of which at least 50 % for projects supporting the conservation of nature and biodiversity. Projects to be supported shall be selected following a call for proposals. Projects supported shall be of Community interest, technically and financially coherent, and feasible and shall provide value for money.

The projects supported through action grants shall meet one of the following criteria to ensure European added value and avoid financing recurring activities:

best practice or demonstration projects for the implementation of Directive 79/409/EEC or Directive 92/43/EEC, or

innovative or demonstration projects relating to Community environmental objectives, including the development or dissemination of best practice techniques, know-how or technologies, or

awareness-raising campaigns and special training for staff involved in fire prevention operations, or

projects for the development and implementation of Community objectives relating to the broad-based, harmonised, comprehensive and long-term monitoring of forests and environmental interactions.

Measures supported by the LIFE+ programme shall cover, inter alia:

support for independent and non-profit-making non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which contribute to the development and implementation of Community environmental policy and legislation,

support for the Commission's role in initiating environment policy development and implementation, through studies and evaluations, seminars and workshops with experts and stakeholders, networks and computer systems, information, publication and dissemination activities, including events, exhibitions and similar awareness-raising measures.

The projects and measures financed by LIFE+ may be implemented through grants or procurement procedures and may consist of:

studies, surveys, modelling and scenario building,

monitoring, including the monitoring of forests,

capacity-building assistance,

training, workshops and meetings, including the training of agents participating in forest fire prevention initiatives,

networking and best practice platforms,

information and communication actions, including awareness raising campaigns and, in particular, public-awareness campaigns on forest fires,

demonstration of innovative policy approaches, technologies, methods and instruments,

support for operational activities of NGOs that are primarily active in protecting and enhancing the environment at European level and involved in the development and implementation of Community policy and legislation,

developing and maintaining networks, databases and information and computer systems directly linked to the implementation of Community environmental policy and legislation, in particular when improving public access to environmental information. The expenditure covered will include the costs of development, maintenance, operation and support (hardware, software and services) of information and communication systems. It will also cover the cost of project management, quality control, security, documentation and training linked to the implementation of these systems,

specifically for the nature and biodiversity component: site and species management and site planning, including the improvement of the ecological coherence of the Natura 2000 network, the monitoring of conservation status, including — but not limited to — setting up procedures and structures for such monitoring, the development and implementation of species and habitats conservation action plans, the extension of the Natura 2000 network in marine areas and, in limited cases, the purchase of land.

The increase in funding aims to finance climate change adaptation measures, such as those related to the construction of flood walls and raising the level of dykes against sea level rise, development of drought tolerant crops, selection of forestry species and forestry practices less vulnerable to storms and fires and the development of spatial plans and corridors to help species migrate.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in 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 a project which will develop and establish (1) a complementary participatory coastal communication system and (2) a cooperative coastal risk protection and management system for Member States in the Baltic Sea region and in particular the Baltic States themselves, whose 50 years under occupation excluded them from normal development processes, as a result of which there is a disparity in terms of development with older Member States. Sustainable coastal development (including integrated applications) is to be actively re-enhanced and non-traditional innovations explored and fleshed out, tested and disseminated not only in relation to established implementation methods, i.e. not only vertically and horizontally across management levels, but also with particular attention being paid to developing new methodologies for participatory communication and cooperation, thus increasing coastal awareness and behaviour development among all stakeholders.

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) 473).

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.

The aim of the pilot project is to improve mobilisation of operational resources and emergency support from Member States to assist a Member State in coping with forest fires too numerous and too intense to be handled by that State using its own logistical capacity and manpower.

The pilot project’s objectives are, in particular, to:

draw up a schedule of Member State emergency teams and logistical resources which can be mobilised in a contingency situation,

develop standardised communication and information mechanisms in order to make assistance more effective and exchange information on best practices and best equipment and on drawing up operation plans for using both technical and human contingency resources.

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).

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this Title (with the exception of Chapter 08 22).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1; corrected by OJ L 54, 22.2.2007, p. 4).

For all appropriations under this Title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme shall apply. That definition reads as follows: ‘An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm’. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research.

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 Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community 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.

These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure Items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's RTD strategy.

Revenue resulting from cooperation agreements between the European Atomic Energy Community and Switzerland or the multilateral European Fusion Development Agreement (EFDA) will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 2 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The possibility of third countries or institutes from third countries taking part in European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Revenue from States taking part in the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research will be entered in Item 6 0 1 6 of the of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the western Balkan potential candidate countries for participating in 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.

Any revenue from the contribution by outside bodies to Community activities will be entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 22 04.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help establish the integrated scientific and technological bases needed to develop a European ‘knowledge-based bioeconomy’ by bringing together science, industry and other stakeholders. 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 V 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

Europe needs to become more attractive to researchers, in order to increase Europe’s capacity and performance in research and technological development and to consolidate and further develop the European Research Area. Against the background of growing competition at world level, the development of an open and competitive European labour market for researchers with diversified, attractive career prospects is needed.

The value added of the support provided in the specific programme ‘People’ is the promotion of mobility, both trans-national and intersectoral, the structuring effect throughout the EU on the organisation, performance and quality of research training, on the active career development of researchers, and on knowledge sharing through researchers between sectors and research organisations, and on a strong participation of women.

Fusion offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress towards this ultimate goal. The realisation of the ITER project therefore lies at the heart of the present EU strategy. It must be accompanied by a strong and focused European R & D programme to prepare for the exploitation of ITER and to develop the technologies and knowledge base that will be needed during ITER operation and beyond.

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 V 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 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 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).

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 and use of digital content and the development of ICT-based services in areas of public interest, including in the areas of eHealth, eGovernment, eInclusion, eParticipation, ICT for energy efficiency, education and learning and environment. Part of ICT PSP appropriations in the CIP may be used to ensure the deployment, across the EU, of interoperable emergency services and 112 call facilities for all citizens, permitting quicker and more efficient responses and life saving, inter alia through remodelling of the traditional technical emergency calling architecture 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 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 base (Decision No 1639/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 2006 establishing a Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (2007-2013)), 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 preparatory action eParticipation, which has thus far proved very successful, will be continued as part of the regular Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programmes in order to involve members of the public, businesses, NGOs and socio-economic and political interest groups in legislative and decision-making processes.

The main part of the support will go to a limited number of high-impact pilot projects per year. Accompanying measures, such as best practice actions to spread knowledge and 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 V 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 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.

Any revenue from contributions from third parties, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Former Article 09 04 01

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 and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives 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.

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 under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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 Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community 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 V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

TITLE 11

MARITIME AFFAIRS AND FISHERIES

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

60 % of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of shared management.

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 RACs 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.

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 EU 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. Moreover, in its May 2008 action plan on Single Market Assistance Services a range of actions is 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, preferably in autumn 2009, 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.

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, sectorial 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 present 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 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

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).

The selection of trainees is based on objective, transparent criteria and reflects a geographical balance.

This appropriation is intended to cover the Erasmus Mundus II programme (2009-2013), as well as remaining payments of actions during the previous Erasmus Mundus programme 2004-2008. The objectives of the Erasmus Mundus II programme are:

to foster structured cooperation between higher education institutions and academic staff in Europe and third countries with a view to creating poles of excellence and providing highly trained human resources,

to contribute to the mutual enrichment of societies by developing a pool of well-qualified, open-minded and internationally experienced women/men through promoting mobility in order for the most talented students and academics from third countries to obtain qualifications and/or experience in the European Union and for the most talented European students and academics to do the same in third countries,

to contribute to the development of human resources and the international cooperation capacity of higher education institutions in third countries through increased mobility streams between the European Union and third countries,

to improve accessibility and enhance the profile and visibility of European higher education in the world as well as its attractiveness for third-country nationals.

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 under Annex V 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 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.

In accordance with the decision for an integrated programme in the field of lifelong learning, this appropriation is intended to cover the following specific programmes and horizontal actions:

Erasmus: for education and advanced training activities at higher education level,

Leonardo da Vinci: for all other aspects of vocational education and training,

Grundtvig: for adult education, including education for persons suffering from disabilities or ‘dys’ conditions,

Jean Monnet: to support European institutions and associations active in the field of European integration.

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 V 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 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.

Any revenue from the contribution from the Swiss Confederation for participating in Community programmes, entered under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may be used for additional expenditure, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is also intended for mobility grants to make it possible for literary translators to spend some time in an author's country in order to improve their linguistic proficiency and their familiarity with the country, inter alia, by vocational training.

These actions and programmes should strive to strengthen intercultural dialogue.

The integrated programme should comprise measures to promote learning of the languages of neighbouring countries and the setting-up of an Internet platform, open to all interested persons, to coordinate the language learning process and offer aids, including self-study aids. It should support cooperation and best-practice exchange. These measures should be geared in particular to young people (school pupils and students) and local authorities.

The actions and programmes should also have the objective of encouraging vocational training at European level and improving the multilingual skills of teaching staff.

Part of the appropriation under this budget Article will be used to support projects for analysing and spreading good practices throughout the EU 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

New Article

On 11 July 2007, the Commission adopted the White Paper on Sport (COM(2007) 391 final), 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 paves the way towards the implementation of the provisions on sport in the Treaty of Lisbon if ratified (Article 149 of the EC Treaty, as amended by the Treaty of Lisbon).

The objective of the preparatory action in the field of sport for 2009 is 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 as approved by the Commission. This objective can be attained by:

providing support for the identification of future policy actions in the area of sport; policy support can take the form of studies, conferences and seminars to consult stakeholders and develop better knowledge of the field of sport,

testing the establishment and functioning of suitable networks and good practices (for instance in the fields of physical activity, sports training and volunteering in sport) which can serve as a basis for future actions in the area of sport.

The appropriation is intended to serve three purposes:

coordination at European level of measures by national anti-doping organisations and measures to encourage cooperation between them so as to ensure more effective action to prevent and respond to cases of doping,

creation of a European network to actively combat doping,

formulation of conclusions and recommendations regarding the contribution of the European Union to combating doping, given the alarming proportions it has assumed, with the resulting texts being translated into the official EU languages.

Under the Pierre de Coubertin Action Plan (actions 4 and 5), part of the appropriation may be used for the organisation of a three-day European convention of the 27 national anti-doping organisations, also involving the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Olympic Committee. The convention would be hosted by a different European city each year.

Part of the budget available is intended as a contribution to the financing of the Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy, in June 2009. These games, held under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, are organised every four years and are the greatest sporting event in the Mediterranean region, attracting the participation of 23 countries and bringing Europe, Asia and Africa together.

Part of the budget available is intended to provide a contribution to the ‘Unified Sports Programme’ and to support the Special Olympics. This programme will integrate young people with and without disabilities across Europe. The money will guarantee those young people access to training, competitions, social activities and events. The Special Olympics programme has been fully costed, and matching funding has been secured for any monies provided for in the budget.

In accordance with the ‘Youth in Action programme 2007-2013’, this appropriation is intended to cover the following measures:

Youth for Europe: the aim of this action is to support exchanges between young people in order to increase their mobility and youth initiatives, projects and activities concerning participation in democratic life, in order to develop young people's citizenship and mutual understanding,

European Voluntary Service: the aim of this action is to boost young people's participation in various forms of voluntary activities, both within and outside the European Union, including the operations undertaken within Amicus (Association of Member States Implementing a Community Universal Service), which defines a common framework for national civic services across the European Union, relying on the existing national civic service infrastructures and leading to a truly universal European civic service, i.e. civil or military. Each Member State is able to choose the form of civic service. It is open to young people, male and female, between 16 and 28 years old,

Youth of the World: the aim of this action is to support projects with the partner countries, in particular exchanges of young people and youth workers, and to support initiatives that reinforce young people's mutual understanding, sense of solidarity and the development of cooperation in the field of youth and civil society in these countries,

Youth workers and support systems: the aim of this action is to support bodies active at European level in the field of youth, in particular the operation of youth NGOs, their networking, the exchange, training and networking of youth workers, encouraging innovation and quality in the action undertaken, providing young people with information and developing the structures and activities needed for the programme to meet these goals,

support for policy cooperation: the aim of this action is to organise dialogue between the various actors in the field of youth, in particular the young people themselves, youth workers and policymakers, to contribute to the development of policy cooperation in the youth field and to take the necessary steps and establish the networks necessary to better understand youth.

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 V 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 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.

Any revenue from the contribution from the Swiss Confederation for participating in Community programmes, entered under Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may be used for additional expenditure, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Part of the appropriation under this budget Article will be used to support projects for analysing and spreading good practices throughout the European 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.

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

Part of this appropriation will be allocated for the organisation of the 10th summer biannual European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), to be held between 18 and 25 July 2009 in Tampere in Finland. Forty-nine European National Olympic Committees and over 3 300 team members will participate in this week-long festival celebrating European youth, culture and sport. In addition to official team members over 2 000 European volunteers will contribute to the event. EYOF Tampere 2009 will be the largest EYOF to date and the second largest international multiple sports event organised in Finland since the 1952 Summer Olympic Games in Helsinki.

The European Union has recognised the important role sport plays in education, culture, social inclusion and public health within European society. Furthermore, the Treaty of Lisbon would give Europe a legal basis to support Member States with the social, educational and cultural aspects of sport. EYOF Tampere 2009 is an excellent opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers and non-profit sports organisations as regards educating and bringing up European youth. The key messages of EYOF Tampere 2009 for the young European athletes include tolerance, multiculturalism and volunteering.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund general information operations concerning the European Union, for the purpose of making more visible the work of the Community institutions, the decisions taken and the stages in the building of Europe. It concerns essentially the funding or co-funding of the production and/or dissemination of multimedia (radio, TV, Internet, etc.) information products, including networks, as well as the tools necessary to develop such a policy.

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.

With regard to decentralised work, the Commission’s representations and the European Parliament’s information offices jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies, with the exception of issues concerning each institution's specific institutional role.

These activities are carried out:

by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States,

by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 30 000.

Irrespective of the beneficiary, 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).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Union's expenditure on decentralised communication. The aim of local communication activities is in particular to provide target groups with the tools to gain a better understanding of burning topical issues.

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.

These activities are implemented mainly via the Representations in the Member States through:

seminars and conferences,

organisation of or participation in European events, exhibitions and public-relations activities, organisation of individual visits, etc.,

direct communication measures targeted at the general public (e.g. citizens’ advice services),

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 European citizens,

the opening and management of information centres and spaces for the general public, in particular the opening and management of ‘European Public Spaces’ (EPS) in the Europe Houses that are formally hosting them. The Commission will manage the logistical arrangements for the EPS for the benefit of both institutions (Parliament and Commission), including operational costs such as the organisation of contracted services. The EPS must be run jointly by the two institutions on the basis of an assessment report on the management and the functioning of the EPS, as well as of a working programme for the year to come. Both these documents, which will be drafted jointly by the two institutions and constitute the fundamental elements for allocation of funds for the following year, are to be presented to the budgetary authorities in time to be taken into account in the budgetary procedure.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5 000.

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,

management partnership or communication operations organised in partnership with the Member States in order to create synergies between the means of action employed by the Member States and the Commission and coordinate their information and communication activities on the European Union.

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

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 Community 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 Community institutions. These tools must be made accessible to people with disabilities, in accordance with WAI guidelines.

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.

With regard to decentralised activities, the Commission’s Representations and the European Parliament’s external offices jointly devise and carry out information and communication activities relating to European Union policies, with the exception of issues concerning each institution's specific institutional role.

The measures are carried out:

by the Commission’s Representations in the Member States,

by the Commission’s departments at its headquarters.

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 telephone centre (00800-67891011),

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

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.

Remarks

Decision No 1926/2006/EC establishes a general framework for financing Community 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 1: to ensure a high level of consumer protection, notably through an improved evidence basis, better consultation and better representation of consumers’ interests,

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 Community activities on developing the knowledge and evidence base, enforcement cooperation, market surveillance and product safety, consumer education and capacity building for consumer organisations.

For this purpose the Commission should conduct a survey of a basket of products in all 27 Member States, with the aim of assessing actual conformity with CE marketing.

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 V 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 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.

The Commission is requested to provide information on the actions undertaken or planned to be taken to overcome implementation difficulties. This information should be presented at forthcoming trialogue meetings. This is in line with the declaration on ensuring proper budget implementation adopted at the November 2006 budget conciliation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments made in previous years in the context of the preceding programme of Community action in the field of public health.

The aim of this programme was to contribute to attaining a high level of health protection by directing action towards improving public health, preventing human illness and diseases, and obviating sources of danger to health.

Its three main priorities were:

to improve information and knowledge for the development of public health and the strengthening and maintenance of effective health interventions and efficient health systems, by developing and operating a well-structured and comprehensive system for collecting, analysing, evaluating and imparting health information and knowledge to competent authorities, health professionals and the public, and by undertaking assessments of and reporting on the health situation and health-related policies, systems and measures,

to enhance the ability to respond rapidly and in a coordinated way to threats to health by developing, strengthening and assisting the operation and interlinking of surveillance, early warning and rapid reaction mechanisms covering health hazards,

to address health determinants through health promotion and disease-prevention measures, by supporting and developing broad health-promotion activities and disease-prevention actions and specific risk-reduction and elimination instruments.

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 V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

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.

For 2008 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme will focus 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 policy making 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 Community framework for safe, high-quality and efficient health services.

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 V 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 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 cover the Authority’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2).

The Authority must inform the budgetary authority about transfers of appropriations between operating and administrative expenditure.

The Commission, if requested by the Authority, undertakes to notify the budgetary authority of transfers made between operating and administrative appropriations.

During the budgetary procedure and even during the financial year, when a letter of amendment or an amending budget is submitted, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority beforehand of any changes in the budget of the agencies, in particular concerning the establishment plans published in the budget. Such a procedure is in accordance with the provisions on transparency set out in the Interinstitutional Declaration of 17 November 1995 and implemented in the form of a code of conduct agreed by Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.

The Authority’s establishment plan is shown in Part C ‘Staff’ of the general statement of revenue (Volume 1).

The European Parliament is concerned about increasing staff fluctuation and therefore requests the Authority to inform it about the results of the ‘Staff satisfaction survey’ carried out in 2007 and, more important, about the implementation of measures relating to the results of that survey.

The amounts in the reserve will be released when the abovementioned information has been received by Parliament and the Authority can prove to the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety of the European Parliament full operability and efficient working methods taking into account the conclusions of the survey.

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 V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 16 of the Framework Financial Regulation for the bodies referred to in Article 185 of the Financial Regulation constitute assigned revenue (Article 18(1)(f) of the Financial Regulation) to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the general statement of revenue.

Remarks

Former Article 04 04 11

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.

Legal basis

Remarks

The Community'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 Community 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.

The outbreak of some animal diseases in the Community could possibly have a major impact on operation of the internal market and on the Community's commercial relations with third countries. Thus, it is important for the Community to make a financial contribution in order to allow the fastest eradication possible of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease in Member States by deploying Community resources to fight these diseases.

In 2008, this preparatory action was launched to cover the costs of developing improved control posts (resting points) for animals during long journeys. In the interests of animal health and welfare, it has been necessary to introduce specific measures to avoid stress, for example, when animals are unloaded and reloaded, and to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

No new appropriations as from 2009, the actions launched in 2008 will be pursued till their completion and paid in 2009.

This appropriation will provide support for Member States measures in the following areas:

efficient organisation of control covering both checks and surveillance tasks relating to external borders,

efficient management by the Member States of the flows of persons at the external borders, in order to ensure both a high level of border protection and smooth crossing of external borders in accordance with the Schengen acquis, including the principle of respectful treatment and dignity,

uniform application by the border guards of Community law on the crossing of external borders,

improvement of the management of activities organised by the consular and other services of the Member States in third countries as regards the flow of third country nationals into the territory of the Member States and cooperation between Member States in this regard.

In particular, this appropriation is intended to support the following actions in the Member States:

border crossing infrastructures and related buildings, such as border stations, helicopter landing places or lanes or booths for the queuing of vehicles and persons at border crossing points,

infrastructure, buildings and systems required for surveillance between border crossing points and for protection against illegal crossing of the external border,

operating equipment,

means of transport for the surveillance of external borders, such as vehicles, vessels, helicopters, and light aircraft, specially equipped with electronic equipment for the surveillance of the border and the detection of persons in means of transport,

equipment for real time exchange of information between relevant authorities,

ICT systems,

programmes for the detachment and exchange between Member States of staff such as border guards, immigration officers and consular officers,

training and education of staff in relevant authorities, including language training,

investments in the development, testing and instalment of state of the art technology,

studies and pilot projects implementing recommendations, operational standards and best practices resulting from operational cooperation between Member States in the field of border control,

studies and pilot projects designed to stimulate innovation, facilitate exchanges of experience and good practice and improve the quality of the management of activities organised by the consular and other services of the Member States in third countries as regards the flow of third country nationals in the territory of the Member States and cooperation between Member States in this regard.

In the framework of the Kaliningrad Transit Scheme, this appropriation is intended to cover foregone fees from transit visas and additional costs (investment in infrastructures, training of border guards and rail staff, additional operational cost) incurred in implementing the Facilitated Transit Document and Facilitated Rail Transit Document scheme in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 693/2003 (OJ L 99, 17.4.2003, p. 8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 694/2003 (OJ L 99, 17.4.2003, p. 15).

These actions can also be used to provide supporting services to Member States in duly substantiated emergency situations requiring urgent action at the external borders of the Member States.

Moreover, each year the Commission will draw up a list of specific actions to be implemented by the Member States and, where appropriate, in cooperation with the Agency, that contribute to the development of the common integrated border management system by addressing weaknesses at strategic border points identified in risk analyses carried out by the Agency.

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 Community 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 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 Community as a whole (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 a 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.

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 Community 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.

Legal basis

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.).

Legal basis

Remarks

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.

This appropriation is intended to fund a preparatory action embodying the efforts which the Union has been making to promote preventive measures to combat violence against children and adolescents of both sexes and against women, with a view to standardising national legislation in this area. The objectives will be to:

analyse the current national legislation on gender violence, with reference to all types of violence: domestic violence, sexual violence, prostitution and trafficking, female genital mutilation and crimes of honour,

analyse shortcomings in applying legislation on gender violence in each Member State,

implement the process of European-level harmonisation of legislation against gender violence by proposing provisions to combat and reduce gender violence within the European Union.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community 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 Community 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 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 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 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 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 Community cooperation programme will finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and regional 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 Community instruments in the field of cooperation and development.

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 Community 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 of the European Parliament and of the Council. 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.

This appropriation is for funding preparatory measures to establish the conditions for EU actions in the field of the CFSP and the adoption of the necessary legal instruments. It may cover evaluation and analysis measures (ex ante evaluation of means, specific studies, organisation of meetings, fact-finding on the ground). In the field of EU crisis management operations and for EU Special Representatives (EUSR), in particular, preparatory measures may inter alia serve to assess the operational requirements for an envisaged action, to provide for a rapid initial deployment of personnel and resources (e.g. mission expenses, purchase of equipment, pre-financing of running and insurance costs in the start-up phase), or to take the necessary measures on the ground to prepare for the launching of the operation. It may also cover experts supporting EU crisis management operations on specific technical issues (e.g. identification and assessment of procurement needs) or security training for staff to be deployed to an ESDP mission/EUSR team.

It also covers follow-up measures and audits of common foreign and security policy measures and the financing of any expenditure on the regularisation of previously closed measures.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measures coming under Articles 19 03 01, 19 03 02, 19 03 03, 19 03 06 and 19 03 07.

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,

strengthening the role of civil society in promoting human rights and democratic reform, 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 children and armed conflict,

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.

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.

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 Community 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.

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

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

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 Community 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 Community 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 Community 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 Community 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 Community 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 Community’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 Community 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 pilot project is intended to foster common transatlantic approaches to key international policy challenges, e.g. environmental issues, such as climate change, and financial assistance coordination in countries such as Afghanistan or Kosovo. Measures under this pilot project will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international community and be complementary to existing mechanisms. The pilot project will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and US policymakers that are beyond the scope of the current tools available under existing legal instruments. In implementing this action the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies.

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 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 Community’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 Community 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.

Part of the appropriation for crisis response measures will be managed through a facility fund for NGO-led activities at grassroots level to prevent violent escalations.

In 2009, the exceptional country-specific crisis response measures will take NGO proposals more into account and increase the share spent on those proposals.

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.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for crisis management in Georgia so as to mitigate the consequences of the conflict in summer 2008.

Appropriations under this Item will be used to provide financial assistance to address the effects of the crisis that occurred in Georgia after the recent conflict with Russia, to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms and to ensure safety and security for individuals. The total budget for the aid is to be decided at an international donors conference.

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 Community 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 intended to cover, in addition to the funding allocated to anti-personnel mine schemes under cooperation programmes with the beneficiary countries concerned, Community contribution to projects against anti-personnel landmines, in particular schemes relating to implementation of the Ottawa Treaty (Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-personnel Mines).

It is also intended to cover actions aimed at the rehabilitation of victims of anti-personnel mines.

It is intended to cover a whole range of actions such as mine clearance, stockpile destruction, mine risk education, survey of suspected areas and victim assistance.

It also includes financing of activities of non-governmental organisations to raise the issue of the landmine problem with non-State armed groups which are ‘part of the problem’ and therefore should also be ‘part of the solution’.

This Item is intended to cover a preparatory action to set up a voluntary technical assistance programme for countries in need. It will provide the structure to send volunteers from the Member States to third countries to help with the implementation of European Union instruments in order to assist to people in third countries. The structure must be able to provide the European volunteers with the necessary training, make other preparatory arrangements for them and cover the cost of the volunteers’ operation in a third country plus costs possibly arising after an operation but directly related to it.

It is also intended to finance a feasibility study on the establishment of a European Civil Peace Corps going beyond humanitarian aid in stricto sensu.

The preparatory action is intended to fund preparatory work by the Commission to develop the best way to create such a structure, possibly in cooperation with third parties engaged in the humanitarian and development aid sector, to set up all elements of the chosen structure on a small scale, and to recruit and deploy initial volunteers in a pilot scheme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover new actions aimed at furthering the cooperation between the EU and third countries in relation to global and regional trans-border challenges affecting the security and fundamental rights of the citizen.

Such measures will cover:

strengthening the capacity of law enforcement and judicial and civil authorities involved in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, including illicit trafficking of people, drugs, firearms and explosive materials, and in the effective control of illegal trade and transit,

support for measures to address threats to international transport, and critical infrastructure, including passenger and freight traffic,

ensuring an adequate response to major threats to public health, such as epidemics with a potential trans-national impact.

Such measures may be adopted under this instrument in the context of stable conditions, where they aim to address specific global and transregional threats having a destabilising effect, and only to the extent that an adequate and effective response cannot be provided under related Community instruments for external assistance. This appropriation is also intended to cover completion of payments for measures funded under former budget line 19 02 11 ‘North-south cooperation schemes in the campaign against drugs and drug addiction’.

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 Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation measures aimed primarily at supporting the implementation of the Multi Annual Indicative Programmes covering the period 2007-2010 and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the EU’s Mediterranean neighbours. It will also be used to support the implementation of the five-year Euro-Mediterranean Work Plan for 2006 to 2010 agreed at the EuroMed summit held in Barcelona in November 2005. This will cover inter alia the following areas of cooperation:

promoting political dialogue and reform,

promoting legislative and regulatory approximation and encouraging the progressive participation of partner countries in the internal market and the intensification of trade,

strengthening the national institutions responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas covered by the association agreements,

promoting respect for human rights, including women’s and children’s rights, and good governance,

promoting sustainable development and contributing to poverty reduction,

supporting the modernisation of the economy, promoting investments in the region and strengthening small- and medium-sized enterprises,

establishing better transport and energy interconnections between the EU and neighbouring countries and among neighbouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common environment,

promoting actions contributing to conflict resolution,

fostering the development of civil society inter alia to promote social conclusion,

promoting people-to-people contacts and exchanges in the field of education, research and culture,

supporting regional integration within the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation, the creation of networks and partnerships of public and private not-for-profit organisations with a view to exchanging knowledge and best practices in all the relevant fields,

supporting actions in the field of migration designed, inter alia to promote links between migration and development, to combat illegal immigration and to facilitate readmission. These actions will be supplemented by actions financed from the ENPI allocation from Article 19 02 01 01 ‘Cooperation with third countries in the areas of migration and asylum’.

Horizontal visibility of Community Assistance and information actions and measures directly linked to achievement of the objectives of EU action in Mediterranean third countries.

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country in the situation in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Community assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms.

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 Community 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 is intended to cover operations for the benefit of the Palestinian people and the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in the context of the Middle East peace process.

The operations are primarily aimed at:

supporting State building and institutional development,

promoting social and economic development,

mitigating the effects on the Palestinian population of the deteriorating economic, fiscal and humanitarian conditions through the provision of essential services and other support,

contributing to the financing of the operation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and in particular its health, education and social services programmes,

financing preparatory operations aimed at promoting cooperation between Israel and its neighbours in the context of the peace process, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and energy,

financing activities designed to create a public opinion favourable to the peace process,

financing information, including in Arabic and Hebrew, and disseminating information on Israeli-Palestinian cooperation,

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

The active involvement of the EU in, and its support for, the Middle East peace process will continue in 2009. It should, in particular, ensure the provision of aid to UNRWA, with a view to meeting Palestine refugees’ needs. Additional funding is required in order to meet the needs of the Palestinian population which have remained pressing ever since the elections in January 2006 and which have been further exacerbated by the de facto split between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in June 2007.

The contribution to the financing of the operations of UNRWA has to be calculated by taking into account not only inflation but also the growing needs of people in the Gaza Strip, so as to enable the agency to alleviate their increasing poverty.

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 Community 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.

establishing better transport and energy interconnections between the EU and neighbouring countries and among neighbouring countries themselves and addressing threats to our common environment,

promoting actions contributing to conflict resolution,

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

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, namely the Union for the Mediterranean and the Eastern Partnership, makes it necessary to prepare future EU contact points, i.e. personnel for EU-ENP-related jobs in the neighbourhood countries from Morocco to Belarus. They should be made fully acquainted in a professional manner with the substance and spirit of EU policies and institutions and the acquis communautaire. That necessitates a focused and sophisticated offering, which can be delivered only by a highly renowned and specialised academic institution such as the College of Europe. Two campuses of the College of Europe — one in Bruges, Belgium, close to the EU institutions and expertise, the other at Natolin in Warsaw, Poland, specialising in European neighbourhood and border policies (Frontex) — are best placed to offer a tailor-made programme.

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. 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 EC 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 Community assistance.

Remarks

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

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 Community’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:

improve basic health and basic education by endeavouring, in accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of the DCI, 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,

assist institutional support and help consolidate democracy, human rights and the rule of law,

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 microfinance programmes,

support regional integration,

improve the standard of education, health and transport infrastructures,

promote the increased use of information and communications technologies,

foster regional integration,

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, including through contributions to support the regional implementation of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA),

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.

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 enterprises.

This appropriation is also intended to cover measures to promote the self-sufficiency of refugees, displaced persons and other population groups who have left their country of origin or residence because of fighting, lack of security or other man-made crises, notably in Colombia. Measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international organisations.

The appropriation also covers measures to initiate the return to a normal life of people in developing countries in the aftermath of critical situations arising out of natural disasters, violent conflicts or other crises. In particular, operations may cover programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations and other civil society players which promote the participation of the beneficiary population at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.

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.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for actions to control and remove anti-personnel landmines (APL), explosive remnants of war (ERW) and illicit small arms and light weapons (SALW).

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This shall include full provision of information and submission of budget support agreements to parliamentary oversight entities and supreme audit institutions.

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 Community 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 will include aspects of input activities and the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations will be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Legal basis

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).

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

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) as well as the promotion of democracy, good governance, respect for human rights and for the rule of law, and fostering a sustainable development and economic integration. In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (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 a 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 Community’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.

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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the promotion of an SME-friendly business climate through legal property rights, cutting red tape and improved access to credit as well as improving SME associations.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on observance of the principles underpinning European Union action.

The appropriation is also intended with a view to the mutual interest of the European Union and its partners, to cover various kinds of operation involving technical assistance, training, technology transfer and institutional back-up in the fields of trade promotion, energy (notably renewable energy), environment, management, etc., in order to:

improve the economic, social, cultural, legal and regulatory context and facilitate economic relations and trade between the European Union and Asia,

foster regional integration,

support capacity-building, in particular in the least developed countries, to help them to better integrate into the multilateral trading system, including their abilities 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 increased use of information and communications technologies.

This appropriation is also intended to cover future Community initiatives to support and promote a continuous dialogue and cooperation between the private sector and research communities in the EU and India in a wide range of fields, by strengthening and encouraging partnership and exchanges and supporting joint initiatives and by improving the information flow with regard to market access in trade and investment, most notably in the context of a future EU-India free-trade agreement.

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.

It also covers education for children affected by war or natural disasters.

These measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international organisations.

This appropriation is also intended to support disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-related hazards.

This appropriation is intended to also cover Community operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process.

The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full implementation of the letter and the spirit of the Bonn-Petersberg Agreement. It will keep the budgetary authority informed about its findings and conclusions.

This appropriation is also intended to support the Afghanistan national drug control strategy, including halting the production of opium in Afghanistan, and the disruption and destruction of the opium networks and illegal export routes to European countries.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation.

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 Community 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 of the European Parliament and of the Council. These evaluations will include aspects of input activities and the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations will be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Emphasis is placed on operations influencing economic organisation and institutional development, the strengthening of civil society, including operations concerning democratisation, universal access for children of both sexes and women as well as children with disabilities to primary and secondary education, the environment, and the sustainable management of natural resources, including tropical forests, regional cooperation, disaster prevention and risk reduction, including climate-change-related hazards, and reconstruction measures, as well as the promotion of sustainable energy, the fight against climate change and information and communications technology.

This appropriation is also specifically intended to support contributions to further strengthen the regional implementation of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA).

Also charged to this Item 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.

Support for microcredit schemes will be provided by this appropriation.

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.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on observance of the principles underpinning European Union action.

It also covers measures influencing economic organisation and institutional development.

This appropriation will also cover technical assistance, training, technology transfer and institutional back-up in the fields of trade promotion, energy (notably renewable energy), environment, management, etc., in order to:

foster regional integration,

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

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

promote the increased use of information and communications technologies,

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

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.

It also covers education for children affected by war or natural disasters.

These measures may be financed jointly with non-governmental organisations and international organisations.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation.

Part of this appropriation is to be used for actions to control and remove anti-personnel landmines (APL), explosive remnants of war (ERW) and illicit small arms and light weapons (SALW).

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council. This shall include full provision of information and submission of budget support agreements to parliamentary oversight entities and supreme audit institutions.

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 Community 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 intended to cover Community operations in the framework of the Afghanistan reconstruction process. It is supplemented by expenditure from other Chapters and Articles, to which different procedures apply.

The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full implementation of the post-Bonn process. It will keep the budgetary authority informed about its findings and conclusions.

This appropriation is intended to support basic social services and economic development in Afghanistan.

This appropriation is also intended to support the Afghanistan national drug control strategy, including halting the production of opium in Afghanistan, and the disruption and destruction of the opium networks and illegal export routes to European countries.

It is also intended to support the Community contribution to the processes for the return of Afghan refugees and displaced persons to their country and regions of origin in accordance with the commitments entered into by the Community at the Tokyo Conference in January 2002.

This appropriation will also finance activities of women's organisations which have worked for a long time for Afghan women's rights.

The European Union should increase its financial assistance for areas in Afghanistan such as health (construction and renovation of hospitals, prevention of child mortality) and education (construction of schools, vocational and literacy training) and small and medium-sized infrastructure projects (repairing of road network, embankments, etc.), as well as effectively implementing job security (‘cash for work’) and food security (‘food for work’) schemes.

This appropriation is also intended to support the 2009 presidential elections in Afghanistan.

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

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women, with priority for actions in the fields of health and education, and to support their active involvement in all areas and at all levels of decision-making, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation.

Particular attention will also be paid to the situation of women and girls in all other actions and projects supported by this appropriation.

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 Community and managed by the Commission on their behalf, pursuant to the relevant basic act, may give rise to provision of additional appropriations.

Remarks

This preparatory action is intended to support exchanges between European and Indian businesses and industries, as well as research institutions. This is important in the context of improving links between EU businesses and researchers in fast-growing economies such as India. The action is in line with paragraph 4 of the European Parliament resolution of 18 May 2006 on the 2007 budget: the Commission’s Annual Policy Strategy report (APS) (OJ C 297 E, 7.12.2006, p. 357), which noted that ‘insufficient attention has been given … to the vast and very rapid changes underway in the global economy, notably in emerging economies such as India and China’.

This initiative supports the third year of the preparatory action for promoting scientific and business exchanges with India, in particular the European Business and Technology Centre. In order to make the current action sustained and sustainable over the longer term, further funding is considered important. For an initiative of this kind, which involves the establishment of a permanent physical centre able to provide services to private operators and research institutions, funding sustainability is crucial for long-term viability. Furthermore, additional funding would be required with regard to expanding the centre's geographical outreach as well as its sectoral coverage. Over the longer term, however, the project should ensure funding from external sources and gradually become less dependent on EU funding.

Remarks

This preparatory action is intended to support exchanges between European and Chinese business executives and scientists in universities and research institutions. This is important in the context of improving links between EU businesses and researchers in fast-growing economies such as China. The action is in line with paragraph 4 of the European Parliament resolution of 18 May 2006 on the 2007 budget: the Commission's Annual Policy Strategy report (APS) (OJ C 297 E, 7.12.2006, p. 357), which noted that ‘insufficient attention has been given … to the vast and very rapid changes underway in the global economy, notably in emerging economies such as India and China’.

It needs to be ensured that existing and tried-and-tested structures for the representation of external trade interests in China are complemented by this measure and that duplicate structures are prevented. The objective is to improve access to information, in particular for SMEs, and to achieve new synergies.

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

The information activities to be carried out under this budget line fall into two broad categories: horizontal activities and logistical support from headquarters, and activities carried out by Commission delegations in non-member countries and vis-à-vis international organisations.

Measures carried out from headquarters:

the European Union visitors programme (EUVP), carried out jointly by the European Parliament and the Commission, provides some 170 participants a year, chosen by the delegations, with the opportunity of experiencing contact with the European Union by visiting the European Parliament and the Commission as part of a made-to-measure individual programme of visits based on a theme,

the production and distribution of publications on priority themes as part of an annual programme,

the production and dissemination of audiovisual material,

the development of information delivered via electronic media (the Internet and electronic message systems),

the organisation of visits for groups of journalists,

the bulk purchase of promotional material to be made available to delegations,

the support for the information activities of opinion leaders that are consistent with the European Union’s priorities,

support for the consolidation of a structured, ongoing dialogue between Chinese and European civil societies through the organisation of workshops within forums for the discussion of relevant issues by representatives of the various social and professional categories in China and Europe.

The Commission will continue to fund news broadcasts in Farsi to Iran, an initiative instigated by the European Parliament in 2008.

Decentralised measures carried out by delegations in non-member countries and vis-à-vis international organisations

In accordance with the communication goals laid down for each region and each country, the delegations propose an annual communication plan, which, once approved by headquarters, is assigned a budgetary allocation.

These measures fall into six categories:

newsletters,

websites,

relations with the media (press conferences, seminars, radio programmes, etc.),

information products (other publications, graphic material, etc.),

organisation of events, including cultural activities,

other activities. As of 2007, this will include the management of the network of information points currently known as ‘European Documentation Centres’.

This appropriation is also intended to finance the broadcasting of European news in Farsi.

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 support the following actions:

Initiatives connected with the conduct of new multilateral trade negotiations (in particular, the Doha Development Agenda)

Actions aiming to ensure that EU policy conception is based on comprehensive and up-to-date expert information, and is supported by a programme of information and coalition-building, so as to strengthen the Commission’s negotiating position in Doha Development Agenda negotiations and build coalitions for their successful completion, including:

expert studies and seminars in connection with the preparation of policy and negotiating positions,

trade sustainability impact assessments, designed to assess the impact of trade negotiations on sustainable development and, where necessary, propose flanking measures to combat any negative outcomes for specific countries or sectors,

development and implementation of a consistent and comprehensive communication and information strategy, promoting the Community’s trade policy and raising awareness on the detail and objectives of Community trade policy, both within and outside the Union.

Legal and other expert assistance required in implementation of existing trade agreements

Actions to ensure that the Community’s trading partners effectively adhere to and comply with obligations arising under the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other multilateral and bilateral agreements, including:

expert studies, including inspection visits, as well as specific investigations, and seminars on implementation by third countries of their obligations under international trade agreements,

legal expertise, especially on questions of foreign law, required to facilitate defence by the Community of its position in WTO dispute-settlement cases,

other expert studies necessary for the preparation, management and follow-up to WTO dispute settlement cases.

Trade-related technical assistance/training and other capacity-building actions

Actions aiming to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate in international trade negotiations, to implement international trade agreements and to participate in the world trading system, including:

projects involving training and capacity-building actions aimed at developing country officials and operators, mainly in the field of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures,

the management and further development of a help desk to provide to developing countries industry information on access to EU markets, to facilitate efforts by such industry to take advantage of market access opportunities offered by the international trading system,

trade-related technical assistance programmes arranged in the forum of the WTO and other multilateral organisations, in particular WTO Trust Funds,

reimbursement of the expenses of participants in forums and conferences designed to build awareness and expertise in trade affairs among developing country nationals,

expenditure incurred by Member State experts advising developing country officials and operators on compliance with SPS and other trade related measures.

Activities related to the Community's market access strategy

Actions in support of the Community’s market access strategy, which aims at removing or lowering barriers to trade, identifying trade restrictions in third countries and, where appropriate, removing obstacles to trade. These actions may include:

provision of a market access database, available to economic operators via the Internet, listing trade barriers and other basic information affecting EU exports and EU exporters; purchase of the necessary information, data and documentation for this database,

specific analysis of the various obstacles to trade in key markets, including analysis of the implementation by third countries of their obligations under international trade agreements in connection with the preparation of negotiations,

conferences, seminars and other information activities (e.g. production and distribution of studies, information packs, publications and leaflets) to inform business about trade barriers and trade policy instruments,

support to European industry for the organisation of activities specifically geared to market access issues.

Activities related to the management of the SIGL system (Système Intégré de Gestion de Licences)

Expenditure relating to the implementation of the action programme for administering quantitative restrictions and surveillance measures, and in particular the financing of measures for monitoring licence management systems and the coordinated development of the use of computerised procedures (SIGL system).

This support will take the form of the financing of expenditure on the implementation and operation of common systems and the definition of common guidelines for training and technical assistance for implementation. The operating expenditure also covers contributions to the functioning of systems (hardware, software, maintenance), the financing of information and training measures for system users and the financing of technical assistance.

Activities with a view to promoting the Community’s external trade policy through a process of structured dialogue with key opinion formers

The Community’s trade policy will also be supported by the organisation of specific forums and meetings with a view to promoting dialogue with opinion formers on issues of external trade. The Commission support for these actions may involve conference or event-related services, as well as the reimbursement of the travel expenses incurred by individuals taking part in these actions.

Activities with a view to promoting fair trade

In developing countries, including measures to develop new fair trade products, provide technical assistance and capacity building (for instance to meet the European SPS standards, rules of origin, as well as the growing number of corporate standards), encourage moves into manufacturing (value-adding), support capacity building and empowerment programmes, support pre-financing for fair trade producers, assist in the distribution of fair trade products on local markets, with special emphasis on projects implemented by women;

(b)

Within the EU, including measures to support fair trade awareness raising programmes, public campaigns and advocacy activities, research on impact, best practice, supply chain analyses, traceability and accountability assessments, and fair trade marketing support;

This appropriation is intended to fund multilateral programmes and initiatives in the field of trade-related assistance to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in the multilateral trading system and regional trading arrangements and to improve their trade performance.

Multilateral initiatives and programmes to be funded under this appropriation will support the following actions:

Assistance for trade policy, participation in negotiations and implementation of trade agreements

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to formulate their trade policy and to strengthen the institutions involved in trade policy, including comprehensive and updated trade reviews and assistance in integrating trade into their respective policies for economic growth and development.

Actions to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to participate effectively in international trade negotiations and to implement international trade agreements.

This assistance is primarily targeted at the public sector.

Trade development

Actions to reduce supply-side constraints which impact directly on the ability of developing countries to exploit their international trading potential, including, in particular, private-sector development.

This appropriation complement the EC’s geographical programmes and should only cover multilateral initiatives and programmes that offer real added value to the EC’s geographical programmes, in particular the Integrated Framework for Least Developed Countries (LDC).

The Commission will provide a bi-annual report on implementation and results obtained and on the main outcomes and effects of aid for trade assistance. The Commission will provide information on a total figure for all aid for trade finance coming from within the EU budget, and a total figure for aid for trade from within all ‘trade-related assistance’ provided.

DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONS WITH AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN AND PACIFIC (ACP) STATES

Overall objectives

Development cooperation under this heading is centred on the objective of poverty reduction and achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs) consistent with the objectives of sustainable development and the gradual integration of developing countries into the world economy:

promote democracy and the rule of law, and the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms,

contribute to peace and stability, and to conflict prevention.

In this context the European Community will continue to develop its role as a centre of excellence for European Union thinking on development policies and to strengthen the European Union's impact on the international development agenda. The EC will also continue to work towards the full implementation of the international aid effectiveness agenda, in particular through enhanced coordination with Member States and with international donors, and through division of labour.

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council 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 the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

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.

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 in the context of their sustainable development and to support activities to respond rapidly and directly to mitigate the negative effects of high food prices in line with food security objectives.

The eligible support measures include:

measures to improve access to agricultural inputs and services, including fertilisers and seeds,

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

The assistance channelled through regional and international organisations shall benefit the most affected developing countries and their populations, taking into account the specific country-level conditions.

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 Community’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 Community 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. Part of the increase in funding will be used to start action and build up confidence in the run up to ‘Copenhagen’, in line with the Bali action plan, to help avoid deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.

Part of the increase in funding aims to finance climate change adaptation measures, in particular measures to avoid deforestation and forest degradation.

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 of the European Parliament and of the Council allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the ENPI countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 8 % of this programme is foreseen for such countries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the completion of payments for actions funded under the former budget 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 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 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 the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

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.

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions in developing countries and in Europe’s neighbouring countries under the ‘Good health for all’ component of the thematic programme ‘Investing in people’.

Financial support is provided to actions in four priority areas: (1) combating poverty and neglected diseases, targeting communicable diseases and diseases that can be prevented by vaccination; (2) improving reproductive and sexual health in developing countries; (3) improving equitable access to health providers, commodities and health services; and (4) keeping a balanced approach between prevention, treatment and care, with prevention as a key priority.

This appropriation will be made available for measures carried out by the Commission. It may not be made available to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM).

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 6 % of this programme over the period 2007-2013 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 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.

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions in developing countries and in Europe’s neighbouring countries under the ‘Education, knowledge and skills’ component of the thematic programme ‘Investing in people’.

Financial support is provided to actions in seven priority areas: (1) the MDG of achieving universal primary education by 2015 and the Dakar Framework for Action on Education for All; (2) basic, secondary and higher education plus vocational education and training, to improve access to education for all children and, increasingly, for women and men of all ages; (3) promotion of high-quality basic education, with particular focus on access for girls, children in conflict-affected areas and children from marginalised and more vulnerable social groups including children with disabilities; (4) developing ways to measure learning outcomes in order to better assess the quality of education; (5) promoting donor harmonisation and alignment to promote universal, compulsory, free and high quality education through international or multi-country initiatives; (6) supporting an inclusive knowledge-based society and contributing to bridging the digital divide, and knowledge and information gaps; and (7) improving knowledge and innovation through science and technology together with the development of, and access to, electronic communication networks.

The measures should take into consideration the fact that migration is reduced as a result of improved education and hence life prospects in countries of origin.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover completion of former cooperation under a number of programmes including health, basic education, cultural cooperation, additional contribution for the UN Millennium Development Goals, decentralised cooperation, information and communication technologies and sustainable energy, gender equality.

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 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 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 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 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 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 Community’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

This appropriation is in accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) between the European Union and South Africa and Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation.

Development cooperation is implemented through CSP/MIPs under the TDCA and is financed from the Community budget. For the period 2007 to 2013, the programme will be implemented under a new Country Strategy Paper and Multiannual Programme.

This appropriation is intended primarily to cover the financing of development cooperation projects and programmes with South Africa, which contribute:

to South Africa’s harmonious and sustainable economic and social development through programmes and measures designed to reduce poverty and encourage economic growth which benefits the poor,

to its continued integration into the world economy,

to consolidate the foundations laid for a democratic society and a State governed by the rule of law in which human rights and fundamental freedoms are fully respected,

to improving social services and helping to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals, taking into account the needs of the previously disadvantaged communities and integrate gender and environmental dimensions of development. Special attention shall be paid to the strengthening of institutional capacities.

Development cooperation will focus mainly on:

strengthening capacity for and support to service delivery to the poor at provincial and municipal level (health, HIV/AIDS, education, housing, infrastructures such as water and sanitation, sustainable energy, communication),

support to South Africa’s second economy, with a specific view to employment generation (addressing both labour demand and supply issues, such as skills development),

support to governance (both in the public and non-public domains).

Development cooperation may also cover areas such as management of natural resources and environmental protection, disaster prevention and risk reduction, sustainable energy and climate-change-related measures.

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 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.

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.

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. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and the chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

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. This shall include full provision of information and submission of budget support agreements to parliamentary oversight entities and supreme audit institutions. 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 Community 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 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.

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 177 and 180 of the EC Treaty). Community aid is complementary to the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development cooperation and complementarity cannot work without coordination. Article 180 of the Treaty 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 Community 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 Community’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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover administrative costs directly linked to the implementation of the Instrument for Pre-Accession (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 support staff in delegations (contract staff, detached national experts, individual experts, local staff and local technical assistance staff) for the purposes of devolved programme management in the Commission's delegations 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 temporary staff remunerated from the appropriations in this Item,

expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance offices; expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 800 000 and 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 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.

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.

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 temporary support staff (contract staff, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters working on tasks directly related to the completion of the accession programmes; expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1 100 000 and 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.

Remarks

Under the IPA, this appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and institution building’ for candidate countries. The main objective is to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis, in particular by means of:

strengthening democratic institutions, as well as the rule of law, including its enforcement,

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.

Part of this appropriation is intended in particular to support networks and partnerships of public and private not-for-profit organisations with a view to exchanging knowledge and best practices in the field of sustainable local development, micro-credit, environmental protection and the fight against poverty.

This appropriation may cover any eligible cooperation measures that are not expressly covered by other components of the IPA Regulation and for cooperation between the components.

Remarks

Under the IPA, pre-accession financial assistance is available not only for candidate countries but is also extended to potential candidate countries. This appropriation is intended to cover the component ‘transition and institution building’ for potential candidate countries. The main objective is to support the participation of the potential candidates in the stabilisation and association process and their progression towards candidate status given their enhanced European perspective following the Thessaloniki European Council (19 to 20 June 2003). This will involve supporting the gradual introduction of the acquis for all countries and the implementation of obligations under the Interim Agreement/Stabilisation and Association Agreements, in particular by means of:

strengthening democratic institutions, as well as the rule of law, including its enforcement,

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.

Part of the appropriations should be used to finance reconciliation and ethnic tolerance programmes in potential Member States.

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 Community 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,

expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters limited to EUR 3 000 000 on an annual basis corresponding to an estimated 28 man/years. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man/year, of which 75 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 25 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT, telecommunications and, if necessary, rent of premises on the ground.

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 (P6_TA(2008)0292), in which Parliament supported the allocation of further financial support to the CMP as from 2009 onwards and EUR 2 000 000 specifically for 2009. This would follow on from the actions already undertaken by the Commission to grant EUR 1 500 000 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.

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 Preaccession (IPA) broadly covers ‘reconstruction’ and ‘cooperation between communities’ but does not make specific reference to restoring cultural heritage.

Remarks

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to assist the new Member States in their efforts to strengthen their administrative capacity to implement Community legislation and to foster the exchange of best practice.

The transition facility for the 10 new Member States which joined the Union on 1 May 2004 ran from 2004 to 2006. Implementation will continue until at least 2009. Another transition facility for Bulgaria and Romania is provided for in the Act of Accession (2005), lasting one year following their accession to the EU. Implementation is expected to continue until 2010.

The transition facility is to continue institution-building activities according to the same principles as funded by Phare during the pre-accession period. Therefore, the structures and methods established under Phare for programming and decision-making will continue to apply for the transition facility, with some minor adjustments.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to new Member States in areas where their administrative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with the other Member States. The transition facility should provide the tools to enable them to react rapidly and precisely to weaknesses identified, primarily where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked.

The assistance shall address the continued need for strengthening institutional capacity in certain areas through actions which cannot be financed by the Structural Funds, in particular in the following areas:

justice and home affairs (strengthening of the judicial system, external border controls, anti-corruption strategy, strengthening of law enforcement capacities),

financial control,

protection of the Communities’ financial interests and the fight against fraud,

the internal market, including the customs union,

the environment,

veterinary services and administrative capacity-building related to food safety,

administrative and control structures for agriculture and rural development, including the integrated administration and control system (IACS),

nuclear safety (strengthening the effectiveness and competence of nuclear safety authorities and their technical support organisations as well as public radioactive waste management agencies),

statistics,

the strengthening of public administration according to needs identified in the Commission's comprehensive monitoring report which are not covered by the Structural Funds.

The issues addressed by the transition facility have been identified in the comprehensive monitoring report. Priority should be given to areas where safeguard clauses have been, or risk being, invoked to secure rapid remedial action.

Part of each allocation may be assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, including audit and evaluation actions. The remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the specific powers assigned directly to the Commission by Article 34 of the Act of Accession of 16 April 2003 and Article 31 of Title III of the Act of Accession of 25 April 2005 (part of the Treaty concerning the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union).

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.

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).

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.

HUMANITARIAN AID

Overall objectives

In the Treaty on European Union, as amended by the Treaty of Lisbon, setting out the EU’s general objectives in the framework of external relations, humanitarian aid aims at assisting populations, countries and regions confronting natural or man-made disasters.

At DG Humanitarian Aid level, this objective is translated in the following strategic objectives, defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96 which regulates humanitarian assistance:

save and preserve life during emergencies and their immediate aftermath and natural disasters that have entailed major loss of life, physical, psychological or social suffering or material damage,

provide the necessary assistance and relief to people affected by longer-lasting crises arising, in particular, from outbreaks of fighting or wars,

help finance the transport of aid and efforts to ensure that it is accessible to those for whom it is intended, by all logistical means available, and by protecting humanitarian goods and personnel,

carry out short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work especially on infrastructure and equipment,

cope with the consequences of population movements (refugees, displaced people and returnees) caused by natural and man-made disasters and to carry out repatriation schemes,

ensure readiness for risks of natural disasters or comparable exceptional circumstances and to develop suitable early-warning and intervention systems,

support civil operations to protect the victims of fighting or comparable emergencies.

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.

The aid is granted to victims without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation.

Also charged to this Article are the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of such operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, notably 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 also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of humanitarian aid operations.

It covers, inter alia:

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

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,

the supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the aid concerned,

measures to strengthen Community 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 technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian 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,

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

studies and training linked to the achievement of the objectives of the 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 Council 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.

Appropriations under this Article will also be used for humanitarian assistance to Georgia following the conflict with Russia. The actions should primarily aim to cover the financing of humanitarian assistance operations to the victims as well as for the purchase of equipment or products required in the short-term reconstruction work. The total financial envelope of the aid is due to be decided in an international donors’ conference.

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.

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 Community'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 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.

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 V 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 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.

1 967 431,—

Remarks

It is necessary to monitor new and assess old legislation. This pilot project should involve setting up a multiannual project with the aim of establishing a small organisation that is apolitical and independent, and does not target the policy objectives of the proposed legislation but focuses solely on the administrative burden brought about by a particular legislative proposal.

Furthermore, this organisation should review how the Commission handles its responsibility to keep the administrative burden as low as possible in the context of, and with due regard for, the aim of the planned legislation.

Moreover, this organisation should focus on considering the degree to which in the explanatory memorandum for the planned legislation the consequences in terms of administrative burdens have been examined and whether the Commission has shown itself to have sought the least burdensome option to realise the policy objectives of the proposed legislation.

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

On 21 April 2004, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Decision 2004/387/EC laying down a programme on interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDABC). This programme, which is aimed at promoting the establishment of pan-European eGovernment services and the telecommunications networks on which they are based, contributes to the eEurope initiatives (in the context of the Lisbon objectives) and the related action plans. It contributes to eliminating or reducing the obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, supports the creation of a European area of security, justice and freedom, and facilitates application of the Community acquis following enlargement.

IDABC falls into two sections: projects of common interest and horizontal measures.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must implement projects of common interest in support of sectoral policies, interinstitutional cooperation and the operation of the European Agencies. The projects cover the preparation, feasibility, development and implementation of pan-European eGovernment services; these information and interactive services must be provided by public administrations to public administrations, businesses and the general public.

In cooperation with the Member States, the Community must also implement horizontal measures to support interoperability. These will include:

horizontal (trans-sectoral) pan-European services,

infrastructure services, identified in response to the general requirements of the projects of common interest aimed at facilitating interoperability, this being the essential condition in both technical and economic terms,

strategic activities and support for the evaluation and promotion of eGovernment services and the promotion of good practice and cost/benefit analyses,

greater promotion of the use of open source software by public administrations for citizens,

services accessible to citizens with disabilities.

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 V 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 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.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 200 000.

Legal basis

Decision 2004/387/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 on the interoperable delivery of pan-European eGovernment services to public administrations, businesses and citizens (IDABC) (OJ L 181, 18.5.2004, p. 25).

AUDIT

Overall objectives

The aims of this policy area are to contribute to the efficient and effective performance of all Commission activities by providing independent, effective and objective assurance and consultancy. This will include auditing the internal control systems that exist within the Commission in order to assess their effectiveness and, more generally, the performance of Commission departments in implementing policies, programmes and actions with a view to bringing about continuous improvement. It will also seek to help the Commission and its departments, by means of its opinions, advice and recommendations with regard to the control of risks, the safeguarding of assets, compliance with rules, accurate and reliable accounting and management information, the quality of internal control and, finally, the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. These objectives build on relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), and are carried out in accordance with the tasks described in the Financial Regulation.

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 221 000 000 for the duration of the financial framework, in constant prices. This amount is exceptionally increased to EUR 479 218 000 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 Community 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.

Legal basis

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 Community 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 2009 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,40 % (on the basis of 2007 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 Community budget. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2009 is estimated at about EUR 203,6 million 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

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 2007, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled EUR 17 051 000 000; of that total EUR 4 748 000 000 was inside the European Union (including Bulgaria and Romania) and EUR 12 303 000 000 outside (rounded figures and exchange euro rate applicable at 31 December 2007).

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).

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 12 000 000 000 in principal.

On 2 December 2008, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 25 000 000 000.

3. Effect on the budget

Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated in case of default. As at 31 December 2007 the outstanding amount under this instrument was zero.

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 50 000 000 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 250 000 000, to be paid in two tranches (BULGARIA III). The first tranche of EUR 125 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February 1998. The second tranche of EUR 125 000 000 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 100 000 000 (BULGARIA IV). The loan was paid in two tranches. The first tranche of EUR 40 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 21 December 1999. The second tranche of EUR 60 000 000 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 200 000 000 for a maximum period of 10 years (ROMANIA IV). The first tranche of EUR 100 000 000 was paid on 29 June 2000. A second tranche of EUR 50 000 000 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 200 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years, and will be disbursed in two tranches.

Half of the first tranche, i.e. EUR 50 000 000 of the EUR 100 000 000 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 100 000 000 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 142 000 000 in principal and a loan to Armenia for EUR 28 000 000), with a maximum duration of 15 years.

The first tranche of EUR 110 000 000 was paid to Georgia on 24 July 1998. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

The loan of EUR 28 000 000 to Armenia was paid on 30 December 1998 and completely reimbursed by December 2005.

On 15 October 1998 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a third borrowing-and-lending operation for Ukraine (UKRAINE III). The loan was initially for a maximum amount of EUR 150 000 000 in principal with a maximum duration of 10 years. The first tranche of EUR 58 000 000 was paid on 30 July 1999. Disbursement of the balance, under Decision 2002/639/EC, of EUR 110 000 000 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 75 000 000 principal with a maximum duration of 15 years. A loan of EUR 60 000 000 was paid in 2001. The second tranche is no longer to be made.

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.

VI. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR THE BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE COUNTRIES OF THE WESTERN BALKANS

1. Legal basis

The loan is for a maximum amount of EUR 40 000 000 in principal for a duration of 15 years.

The first tranche of EUR 25 000 000, 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.

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 4 000 000 000.

In 2000 the Commission decided on a loan for Kozloduy in Bulgaria (EUR 212 500 000) 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 83 000 000 in 2004. In 2007 K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39 000 000 (first tranche) in 2007 under the 2004 Commission Decision. In 2004 the Commission decided on a loan for Cernavodă in Romania (EUR 223 500 000). A first instalment of EUR 100 000 000 and a second one of EUR 90 000 000 were disbursed in 2005 and the last one of EUR 33 500 000 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.

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 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible six-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 600 000 000 and covered a period of three years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible six-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 19 460 000 000. 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 seven 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 six 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 450 000 000.

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 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

It should be noted that, following an action undertaken by the Parliament, on 6 November 2008 the Court of Justice of the European Communities annulled Decision 2006/1016/EC since it was not adopted under the correct legal basis (Case C-155/07, Parliament v Council). The Court of Justice, while annulling that Decision, ordered ‘that its effects be maintained for EIB financing arrangements entered into before the entry into force, within a period of 12 months from the date of delivery of this judgment, of a new decision adopted on the appropriate legal basis, namely Articles 179EC and 181a EC together’. The Commission has already presented a proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council to this effect (COM(2008) 910 final).

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.

3. Description

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 1 000 000 000. 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 two years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993 the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, decided to renew for three years the European Union guarantee for EUR 3 000 000 000 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 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of three 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 six 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 150 000 000 for a period of two 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 six 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 100 000 000 for a period of two 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 six 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 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of seven 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 six 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 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

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, Euratorm) 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.

3. Description

Pursuant to Decision 93/115/EEC the European Union guarantees, on a case-by-case basis, loans made by the European Investment Bank in third countries with which the European Union has concluded cooperation agreements.

Decision 93/115/EEC set an overall limit of EUR 250 000 000 a year for a period of three years.

On 12 December 1996 the Council granted the EIB a 100 % Community guarantee for loans for projects of mutual interest in certain third countries (Asian and Latin American developing countries) with which the Community has concluded cooperation agreements. This guarantee was restricted to an overall ceiling of EUR 275 000 000 to be granted in 1996 (with a possible six-month extension).

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 countries of Asia and Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. 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 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 900 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of Asia and Latin America. It covered a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible six-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 22 December 1999 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the following countries of Asia and Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Yemen. 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 for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. It covers a period of seven 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 six 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.

Decision 2005/47/EC was the basis for a restated and amended contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 30 August 2005 and in Luxembourg on 2 September 2005 setting up a guarantee restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums.

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 Latin America countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela and in the following Asia countries: Afghanistan*, Bangladesh, Bhutan*, Brunei, Cambodia*, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq*, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan*, Thailand, Vietnam, Yemen and Central Asia countries: Kazakhstan*, Kyrgyzstan*, Turkmenistan*, Uzbekistan* (*: eligibility to be decided by the Council). The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

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.

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 2008.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 2008 ’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2008 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2008 ’: 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.
