CHAPTER 6 1 — REPAYMENT OF MISCELLANEOUS EXPENDITURE

6 1 1 Repayment of expenditure incurred on behalf of one or more States

6 1 1 3 Revenue from the investments provided for in Article 4 of 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 — Assigned revenue

Financial year 2006 | Financial year 2005 | Financial year 2004 |

p.m. | p.m. | 49696280,— |

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 the above decision, 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 takes effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2004 will be used for research in 2006. 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 2006 comes to EUR 54750000.

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

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 13 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

Remarks

With the exception of staff serving in third countries, this appropriation is intended to cover, in respect of officials and temporary staff holding posts on the establishment plan:

- salaries, allowances and other payments related to salaries,

- accident and sickness insurance and other social security charges,

- unemployment insurance for temporary staff and payments to be made by the Commission to temporary staff to constitute or maintain pension rights for them in their country of origin,

- miscellaneous allowances and grants,

- in respect of officials and temporary staff, allowances for shift work or standby duty at the official's place of work or at home,

- compensatory allowances granted to officials of the European Coal and Steel Community who suffered a reduction in their net salary,

- allowances in the event of dismissal of a probationary official for obvious inadequacy,

- allowances in the event of cancellation by the institution of the contract of a temporary staff member,

- reimbursement of expenditure on security measures at the homes of officials working in offices and delegations in the Community,

- flat-rate allowances and payments at hourly rates for overtime worked by officials and auxiliary staff in categories C and D which cannot be compensated for, under the arrangements laid down, by free time,

- the cost of weightings applied to the remuneration of officials and temporary staff and the cost of weightings applied to the part of emoluments transferred to a country other than the country of employment,

- travel expenses due to officials and temporary staff (including their families) on taking up duty, leaving the institution or transfer to another place of employment,

- installation and resettlement allowances due to officials and temporary staff obliged to change their place of residence on taking up duty, on transfer to a new place of employment and on finally leaving the institution and resettling elsewhere,

- removal expenses due to officials and temporary staff obliged to change their place of residence on taking up duty, on transfer to a new place of employment and on finally leaving the institution and resettling elsewhere,

- daily subsistence allowance for officials and temporary staff who furnish evidence that they must change their place of residence on taking up duty or transferring to a new place of employment,

- transitional costs for officials assigned to posts in the new Member States prior to accession who are requested to remain in service in these Member States following the accession date, and who will be entitled, exceptionally, to the same financial and material conditions applied by the Commission before accession, in accordance with Annex X to the Staff Regulations of officials and the Conditions of employment of other servants of the European Communities laid down by Regulation (EEC, Euratom, ECSC) No 259/68,

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

In the interests of transparency, the salary scales of officials and other servants of all the EU institutions, including increments and allowances, must be published in an easily comprehensible form on a Commission website readily accessible to the public.

The request for 700 new posts for 2005 is part of the overall increase of 3900 posts over a transitional period from 2003 to 2008 in line with a Commission estimate made in 2002. That estimate also covers enlargement-related needs.

Over the last few years, the European Parliament has endorsed in principle the Commission's requests, subject to improved implementation and better management, full implementation of the reform of the Commission, compliance with the European Parliament's priorities and improved interinstitutional dialogue.

At the start of the sixth parliamentary term and the term of office of the Commission appointed in 2004, the European Parliament, as the legislative and budgetary authority, and the new Commission have an opportunity to renew and improve their interinstitutional relationship. To make that possible, Parliament has decided to make provision for all the posts requested.

For 2005, the appropriations corresponding to 50 posts were placed in the reserve.

The appropriations would be released from the reserve once the Commission committed itself clearly to submitting, at the latest by 31 March 2005, a proposal for a limited revision of the Financial Regulation and its implementing rules in order to remove all obstacles to decision-taking and smooth budget execution.

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 35400000.

The latest Commission proposal amending the existing comitology regulation (COM(2002) 719) has been under consideration for several years. The Commission modified its proposal in April 2004 (COM(2004) 324), but the Council has still not taken a decision on the matter. In several legislative procedures (proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council re-casting Directive 2000/12/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (COM(2004) 486), proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council recasting Council Directive 93/6/EEC of 15 March 1993 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit institutions (COM(2004) 486), etc.) comitology issues have caused serious problems for the European Parliament. The European Parliament and the Council should have an equal role in supervising the implementing powers of the Commission, in order to reflect the Parliament's legislative powers under Article 251 of the EC Treaty. For that purpose, the European Parliament calls for the amendment of Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (OJ L 184, 17.7.1999, p. 23).

In order to preserve its legislative prerogatives, it is important for the European Parliament to be able to decide to revoke the delegation of powers granted to the Commission as well as to prevent the entry into force of implementing measures. The European Parliament will therefore release the reserve once:

- it has been given a three-month period in which to examine and, if appropriate, deliver its opinion, in full knowledge of the facts, on any implementing measure forwarded by the Commission;

- provision has been made for application of the provisions of the Directive stipulating the adoption of technical rules and decisions being suspended after a fixed period following its entry into force. On a proposal from the Commission, the European Parliament and the Council will renew the provisions concerned in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the EC Treaty and, to that end, they will review them prior to the expiry of the period referred to above.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 2 264 400.

TITLE 01

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Overall objectives

Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) both inside and outside the European Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community institutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the EIB, EIF and EBRD and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial assistance to third countries).

The main objective for 2006 is to strengthen economic governance in the Union aimed at raising the contribution of public finances and other economic policies to growth and employment in line with the Lisbon strategy, in addition to securing the core budgetary objectives of sound and stable public finances, by implementing the revised Stability and Growth Pact. Integration of the new Member States in EMU will continue in 2006, in the expectation that some of them will participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) and, subsequently, in the euro zone. Furthermore, the full integration of Bulgaria and Romania into the Community economic policy coordination framework is to be prepared in view of their accession in 2007. Also, in 2006, new financial instruments will be implemented, notably for TEN-transport and RTD projects and SMEs, in order to support the Lisbon Strategy and the European Initiative for Growth.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Community policies on all aspects of the rules and functioning of EMU, of the benefits of closer policy coordination and structural reforms and to address the residual information needs of citizens, local authorities and enterprises in relation to the euro.

This measure is 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.

It includes:

- partnerships with Member States, in particular the new Member States,

- transnational partnerships with businesses and civil society,

- information work in non-member countries,

- the development of information media (publications, Internet site, exhibitions, audiovisual products, televised information, opinion polls, etc.),

- systematic participation of Members of the European Parliament in the information campaigns,

- initiatives to point out the international role of the euro and the value of internationally coordinated financial markets.

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 supplied by the Commission.

In addition, the Commission will report regularly to the European Parliament's relevant committee on the implementation of the programme and on planning for the coming year.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission's prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) 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 exceptional assistance aims to ease financial constraints on certain third countries experiencing macroeconomic difficulties characterised by serious budgetary imbalances and/or balance of payment deficits. 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 and political situations of the beneficiary countries and reports extensively on the implementation of this assistance on a yearly basis.

Remarks

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

It is directly linked to the implementation by the recipient countries of macroeconomic stabilisation and structural adjustment measures. Community 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on the implementation of Community policy in support of enterprises, and particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, whatever their legal form, including those engaged in the commercial and distributive trades and the craft sector, tourism, cooperatives, mutual societies and associations, with a view to enabling them to develop their full potential for employment, growth and competitiveness.

Objectives for accelerating the average speed of payment to beneficiaries shall be set and assessed periodically so as to ensure an ever-increasing performance exceeding the requirements of Directive 2000/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on combating late payment in commercial transactions (OJ L 200, 8.8.2000, p. 35).

Particular attention will be paid to microenterprises and small businesses, which represent some 99 % of undertakings in the EU and are the main creators of jobs.

The concept of corporate social responsibility is intended to serve as a basis for firms to integrate social and environmental concerns voluntarily into their business operations. In this process, projects are intended to support microenterprises and SMEs in applying the concept developed by and for large firms, tailoring it to their circumstances. The Commission set out the concept in its communications [COM(2002) 347] "Corporate social responsibility: a business contribution to sustainable development" and [COM(2001) 366] "Promoting a European framework for corporate social responsibility".

This appropriation may cover analyses of best practice concerning the social accountability of businesses in the Member States and in the candidate countries, the development and provision of aid instruments in this area and activities such as analyse of the competitive aspects and raising the awareness of businesses. It can also cover the exchange of "best practice" linked to the open coordination methods (in the field of the improvement of the entrepreneurial environment for the SMEs) in all its forms, in particular studies, meetings of Working Parties, seminars, publications, databases.

Remarks

Appropriations in the Community budget may be used in this preparatory activity to cover technical assistance, particularly including institution-building and training. Special attention must be paid to cross-border cooperation between financial establishments and SMEs in the Member States, the candidate countries and the countries that will have borders with the enlarged Union. Coordination with projects financed under the Phare, Tacis, CARDS and MEDA programmes is encouraged.

With coordination by the Commission, the specific activities may be managed by the following international financial institutions (hereinafter referred to as the IFIs), in accordance with Article 54 of the Financial Regulation: the EIB, the EIF, the EBRD and the Council of Europe Development Bank in cooperation with the "Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau". The activities financed by the Community may be linked only to loans and guarantees issued by these IFIs. The appropriations eligible for technical assistance under this preparatory action, and management expenditure amounting to 1,25 % of the total, and audit cost must accompany loans to SMEs; preference must be given to microcredits for new or existing SMEs.

The Community contribution will be distributed following negotiations with the IFIs listed above and will not be the subject of an invitation to tender or call for proposals.

When the listed IFIs managing the actions choose the partner financial institutions in Member States, preference should be given to regionally based financial institutions with close business links to SMEs. Priority should be given to actions in the new Member States.

Remarks

The objectives of this pilot action are:

- to lay down principles for an expanded mentoring scheme involving the transmission of the knowledge and core competences that are essential for the successful transfer of business ownership. To do so, a closer cooperation between the Member States will be established,

- based on the results of a feasibility study, to finance or co-finance mentoring services to new entrepreneurs that have taken over a business.

Pilot project to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs/VSEs. The aim is to secure closer cooperation between Member States with a view to laying down principles for an expanded mentoring scheme involving the transfer of the knowledge and core competences that are essential for the successful transfer of business ownership. The pilot project will also seek to ensure that experience is pooled at European level among young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) by means of traineeships and training courses within SMEs in key or complementary sectors. The relevant representative bodies (chambers of commerce and industry and craft associations) will be responsible for supporting and promoting this programme. The beneficiaries will be young entrepreneurs (owners or managers of SMEs, VSEs and craft undertakings) who are in the process of setting up in business or are planning to transfer their business in the short to medium term.

The economic justification for this pilot project is that 1/3 of transferred businesses fail and that more jobs are lost (on average five jobs) than for new business creations that fail in the course of the first three years. Mentoring services will contribute to increasing substantially the survival rate of transferred businesses.

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, will contribute to the eEurope initiatives (in the context of the Lisbon objectives) and the related action plans. It will also contribute to eliminating or reducing the obstacles to the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital, support the creation of a European area of security, justice and freedom, and facilitate the 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 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 disabled citizens.

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.

Revenue is estimated at EUR 200000.

Appropriations 2006 | Appropriations 2005 | Outturn 2004 |

Remarks

The aim of this initiative is to draw attention to the value, diversity and shared characteristics of European tourist destinations and to promote 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.

Each year, five destinations in five Member States will be designated European Destinations of Excellence on the basis of a rota system.

The project's aims are to:

- enable each destination to derive economic benefit from its tourism resources while showing proper respect for its social and environmental fabric;

- monitor tourism development and measure the initiative's impact on each destination's economy (the use of local satellite accounts for at least two years before and three years after designation will be considered favourably by the group when making the assessment);

- mainstream the concept of sustainable tourism in other tourism-related policies such as culture, transport, craft trades and agriculture;

- foster networking with other tourist destinations, which will preferably be candidate destinations for other Member States in the same year, so as to ensure joint promotion on a lasting basis;

- promote events that involve tourism operators in other destinations in the Member States and foster their movement within the Union;

- promote visits by EU citizens and foster the widest possible publicity for planned events, making use of all available multimedia tools;

- involve local inhabitants and businesses in planning the events to be held during the year;

- ensure that a broad section of the local population takes an interest and becomes involved in the project, so that the measure has an impact on local society that will last beyond the year's events;

- draw attention to the value of the destinations' historical and cultural heritages and quality of life.

Remarks

Former Article 02 03 05

The aim of the actions carried out in this area is twofold:

- to consolidate, by integrating its research efforts, the position of the European space industry vis-à-vis increasingly strong world competition, and

- to help exploit the potential of this sector with a view to improving safety and environmental protection.

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by this appropriation, more specific action is needed. Projects qualifying under the SME-specific actions for which insufficient funding is available should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme if those projects fulfill the thematic requirements.

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.

- establish a consultation and consensus-building platform with the relevant stakeholders, in order to develop a long-term vision and a strategic agenda in the concerning area,

- launch a series of precursory activities:

- call for ideas,

- networking of stakeholders and existing activities,

- definition of a working programme,

- the setting-up of conditions for stimulating the exploitation of results,

- the development of interoperable pre-standards and systems,

- accompanying measures,

- a limited number of test cases in carefully selected domains.

As far as the internal security of the EU is concerned, the work must be consistent with its priorities as outlined in the "Justice and Home Affairs" multiannual programme against terrorism and serious crime. The work must also be conducted with due regard for fundamental rights and democratic accountability at EU and at national level.

COMPETITION

Overall objectives

The objective of the Commission in this area is to enforce the competition rules of the Community Treaties in order to ensure that competition in the European Union market is not distorted, thereby contributing to the welfare of consumers and the competitiveness of the European economy.

Competition policy aims at protecting consumer welfare and at ensuring a level playing field for companies competing in the market, in particular by combating obstacles to parallel trade which distort the functioning of the internal market. Undistorted competition is also a key dimension of the enlargement process and a factor in Europe’s global competitiveness. The common currency calls for an even greater role for competition policy in order to further dynamically integrate markets. Hence, competition policy, including merger control, cartel dismantling, enforcement of the antitrust rules, market liberalisation, State aid control and international cooperation between competition authorities is one of the Commission’s key tasks under the Treaty.

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 give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, according to the same ratio as between the amount authorised for expenditure on administrative management and the total appropriations entered for the programme, pursuant to Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier being cancelled or reduced.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repayment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decisions of the Berlin European Council, to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover ESF Objective 1 measures for commitments relating to the programming period 2000 to 2006.

Pursuant to Article 3 of the EC Treaty, in defining and implementing other Community policies the Community is to aim to eliminate inequalities, and to promote equality, between men and women.

Structural Fund appropriations can therefore be used only if the measures which they finance accord with the provisions of the Treaties and with the legal acts adopted pursuant to the Treaties, particularly those concerning environmental protection and equality between men and women, the combating of all forms of discrimination, and the social inclusion of disadvantaged persons, including disabled persons.

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 DGs 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 the EURES advisers and cooperation between government employment services, including those of candidate countries,

- promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,

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

- development of multilingual computerised systems consisting of the two databases ("job vacancies and applications" and "living and working conditions"), as well as maintenance and expansion of an Internet site,

- development of special structures for cooperation and services in border areas, pursuant to Article 17(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2434/92,

- participation in the creation of a single site containing information on mobility in Europe, providing access to job vacancies and information on job offers (with links to public and private employment services), jobseekers, living and working conditions, education and training, and student and teacher mobility. This portal should also address the needs of nationals from third countries, in particular from countries coming under the EU's Neighbourhood Policy.

This appropriation is also to be used to set up and run specific cooperation and service structures for border areas.

- identifying best practices and promoting exchanges and transfers of information and experience between Member States (including peer review),

- monitoring Europe's employment strategy (European Employment Observatory),

- developing quantitative and qualitative employment statistics and indicators broken down by gender and age, if possible, including benchmarking,

- forward studies on developing the European employment strategy (new area of research, impact of other Community policies),

- developing an active information policy that is geared to the needs of the public, and of disadvantaged persons in particular, and measures to support presidency initiatives and other events of international significance,

- measures to promote cooperation, improve knowledge, develop an exchange of information, promote best practices and innovative approaches and to evaluate experience in implementing national action plans for employment at local and regional level in the context of the European employment strategy.

In keeping with the conclusions of the Lisbon European Council on Employment of 23 and 24 March 2000, these aims serve an integrated approach to a European employment strategy which can only be managed at Community level. The proposed activities underpin the coordinated approach of the EES, keeping in mind the balance between the three overarching objectives of full employment, quality and productivity at work, cohesion and an inclusive labour market as reflected in the new Employment guidelines.

In line with actions undertaken earlier, the analysis of employment trends and related labour market issues will receive major importance. It includes, in particular, analysis on labour market dynamics, immigration and the integration of immigrants into the workforce and undeclared work in an enlarged Union, including the measurement of its size.

The promotion of exchanges of information and transfers of good practices between Member States, social partners and relevant stakeholders through a mutual learning programme consisting of thematic review seminars, peer review meetings and national and joint follow-up activities was started in 2004 (on the theme of adaptability and on active ageing) to come to its full implementation in 2005.

Based on the EIM programme, the local employment development activities will ensure that the good practices identified and experiences gained in the development of local employment strategies, are disseminated both in the MS and the new MS as well as integrated into the EES and the mainstream programmes of the ESF. Local actors should be fully informed of the EU and national policies in the framework of the EES and, taking these fully into account, be encouraged whenever possible to develop comprehensive employment strategies as opposed to isolated initiatives and projects.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the costs of coordinating activities in the field of cross-border labour mobility and skills.

Remarks

In its communication of 7 April 2000 (COM(2000) 196 final), the Commission refers to the need to motivate regional and local players to take part in the European employment strategy. The projects financed serve to encourage cooperation, improve knowledge, develop exchanges of information, promote best practices and innovative approaches at local and regional level as part of the European employment strategy.

The purpose of these activities is to make local and regional authorities and other key local partners, including representatives of the mutual and non-profit sector, aware of the scope for measures conducive to implementing the employment guidelines at local and regional level and the interlinking thereof at regional and local levels.

They include in particular:

- promoting publicity work for the European employment strategy and its implementation at local and regional levels, studies on how mutual and non-profit institutions can be supported at local and regional levels, studies on how to improve transnational cooperation and the dissemination of proven practices in implementing local employment initiatives and studies on what measures can be taken to create incentives for local and regional partners to contribute towards implementing the European employment strategy,

- enhancing the employment potential of the "third system"‚ and financing innovative preparatory actions, not least at local level, in the areas of social and neighbourhood services, the environment and the arts.

Particular focus is to be on the gender aspects of employment policy.

In connection with calls for proposals under this article, no restrictions on access to funding which require cross-border partnerships to comprise partners from more than three Member States are permitted.

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 the 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 will include measures relating to the Commission Green Paper "Promoting a European framework for Corporate Social Responsibility" [COM(2001) 366 final], the Commission communication "Corporate Social Responsibility: A business contribution to Sustainable Development" [COM(2002) 347 final], the Commission communication "…" [COM(2005)… final] and follow-up action.

It also covers measures to promote the actions set out in the Commission Communication on a framework for the promotion of employee financial participation (COM(2002) 364 final).

Pilot projects intended to develop codes of conduct and social labels in order to guarantee respect for fundamental social and employment rights, with the participation of companies, trade unions and NGOs that defend fundamental social rights will also be eligible.

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 of a horizontal nature.

On the basis of these objectives, four subprogrammes have been defined:

- support for European social dialogue,

- encouragement of the financial participation of workers,

- improvement of expertise in industrial relations,

- corporate social responsibility, codes of conduct and fundamental social rights.

Part of this appropriation also covers the setting-up of information and observation points on the premises of European social partners possessing the necessary expertise in the field of action covered by this item. The aim of such information points is 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.

It may also be used to finance training actions for negotiators and representatives working with the transnational information, consultation and participation bodies, whereby female representatives must be given priority in order to increase women's representation in decision-making bodies.

This appropriation may also be used to finance actions involving representatives of the social partners in the candidate countries.

Part of this appropriation is intended for the establishment of a European Monitoring Centre for Change, decided upon at the Nice European Council with a view to identifying, anticipating and managing technological, social and economic trends.

Remarks

Pursuant to Article 145 of the EC Treaty, the European Parliament can ask the Commission to draw up reports on problems concerning the social situation. The Commission is called on to produce each year a report on the social situation, including specific chapters on demographic trends (especially their interaction with the labour market and social protection).

In particular, the following aims will be pursued:

- analysis of the impact of population ageing in the framework 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 level 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 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 an annual report on social security 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

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community action programme to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion. This multiannual programme lasting five years was adopted on 7 December 2001 and came into force on 12 January 2002.

Article 137 of the Treaty establishing the European Community includes provisions permitting the Community to adopt measures designed to encourage cooperation between Member States in order to combat social exclusion. The Lisbon European Council concluded that "policies for combating social exclusion should be based on an open method of coordination combining national action plans and an initiative for cooperation in this field". Reinforcing the commitments made at the Lisbon European Council, the Nice European Council adopted appropriate objectives to combat social exclusion and eliminate poverty. These objectives reflect the following four themes:

- promoting participation in employment and access for all to resources, rights, goods and services,

- preventing exclusion,

- helping the most vulnerable,

- mobilising all those involved.

The Member States are called upon to use these objectives as a basis for formulating their priorities and submitting national action plans spanning a two-year period.

As adopted, the programme comprises three strands:

- A first strand will concentrate on analysing the characteristics, the processes, the reasons for and the evolution of social exclusion. This strand will help Member States develop a common methodology and statistical indicators. It will also provide thematic studies which will help to better understand social exclusion and to address issues of common interest stemming from policy trends in the Member States.

- A second strand will focus more directly on promoting cooperation and the exchange of information and good practices at transnational level and on promoting innovative projects with European added value. This strand also supports the mutual learning process between Member States, in the context of their national action plans, in particular via the peer review method. Under the open coordination method on social inclusion, special attention will be paid in 2006 to the process of examining the implementation of the national action plans against poverty and exclusion and to the drafting of a joint report,

- A third strand will promote the participation of the various stakeholders and support networking at EU level. This strand includes support to networks of NGOs, of regional and local authorities, and of voluntary associations committed to the fight against social exclusion and poverty. The organisation of an annual round table on social exclusion and other events organised by the Presidency of the European Union in this field should be funded under this strand.

The candidate countries may make use of the Phare pre-accession instrument to cover the expenditure resulting from their participation in the programme. Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in the Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

- analysis and evaluation of the dominant trends in the supplementary social security systems in Member States,

- analysis and evaluation of the major trends in legislation in the Member States with regard to the free movement of people,

- highlighting the main features of social protection systems (as regards contributions and benefits in cash and in kind) in the publication, "Social protection in the Community Member States" (Missoc — mutual information system on social protection) and the gradual extension of the categories of worker covered by the publication to include the self-employed and the most atypical forms of work (see White Paper),

- the financing of actions aimed at providing a better service to the public, including measures aimed at identifying migrant workers' social security problems and measures speeding up and simplifying administrative procedures, including their adaptation to new information processing techniques, in order to improve the system for acquiring rights and the calculation and payment of benefits pursuant to Regulations (EEC) No 1408/71 and (EEC) No 574/72 (including the cost of translating documents),

- the development of information and campaigns to make public opinion aware of the supplementary pension system for migrant workers moving within the European Union. This will contribute to resolving the technical difficulties involved in applying Directive 98/49/EC and to preparing pertinent new Community legislation to fill the gaps in this field.

Remarks

Under the multiannual action programme, this appropriation is intended to finance measures to promote information exchange and cooperation, improve knowledge of best practices and innovative approaches and assess the experience gained in combating and/or preventing discrimination based on the grounds referred to in Article 13 of the Treaty.

In the interests of a coherent framework for, and a mainstreaming approach to combating discrimination, the measures should usually focus on more than one of the factors involved in discrimination as referred to in Article 13 of the EC Treaty. However, where insufficient common ground between these factors exists, it will be possible to fund projects which concentrate on one form of discrimination as referred to in Article 13. The programme supports measures to prevent and combat discrimination on grounds of racial and ethnic origin, religion and belief, disability, age and sexual orientation. In accordance with the Council Decision, this appropriation is intended to finance actions under three strands:

- analysis of factors related to discrimination, including through studies and the development of qualitative and quantitative indicators and benchmarks, in accordance with national law and practices, and the evaluation of anti-discrimination legislation and practice, with a view to assessing its effectiveness and impact, with effective dissemination of the results,

- transnational cooperation and the promotion of networking at European level between partners active in the prevention of, and the fight against, discrimination, including non-governmental organisations,

- awareness-raising, in particular to emphasise the European dimension of the fight against discrimination and to publicise the results of the programme, in particular through communications, publications, campaigns and events.

Part of this appropriation is intended to support core funding for NGOs and representative European networks working to combat and prevent discrimination in the Community and Member States and to foster civil dialogue in this area. Specialised disability organisations which fulfil the necessary criteria will be considered for core funding in this area.

It is also intended to be used to provide funding for the European day of disabled persons event, with the support and participation of representative European disability NGOs.

Remarks

New Article

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the European year for Equal Opportunities for All in 2007, for which preparations will be carried out in 2006.

Building and learning on the achievements of previous Years, notably the 1997 European year Against Racism and most recently the European Year of People with Disabilities in 2003, the European Year of Equal Opportunities will provide an unique opportunity and platform to raise awareness on a more cohesive society that celebrates differences and respect the substantial EU acquis in equality and non-discrimination. It will also stimulate debate and dialogue on questions which are central to achieving a just and inclusive society.

In order to secure the full involvement of all actors concerned, to prepare the public and achieve the greatest impact, certain activities must be set up in 2006, in preparation to the 2007 European Year.

The actions to be carried out in 2006 will comprise, inter alia,

- a European conference to launch the year,

- an information campaign for the development, production and dissemination of awareness-raising tools to ensure broad publicity of the upcoming year,

- a Union-wide survey to allow measuring the impact,

- an evaluation of the activities developed in the framework of the year.

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance the programme relating to the Community strategy on gender equality (2001 to 2005). The objective is to support actions intended to promote equal opportunities and treatment, including the legal aspects, by:

- training and disseminating good practices in the area of equality,

- improving understanding and knowledge of direct and indirect gender-based discrimination,

- supporting actions intended to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing policies and practices,

- supporting and developing the skills of the key players in this area.

It is also intended for measures:

- to raise citizens' awareness of equal opportunities and equal treatment between men and women and to ensure that they are better taken into account (support for transnational initiatives, publications, conferences, information events),

- for analysis and evaluation (development, as far as possible, of indicators and statistics broken down by gender and age, analysing the application of the legislation and the labour–market situation, thematic studies),

- for the exchange and development of information and experiences on good practices (calls for proposals).

TITLE 05

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Overall objectives

The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.

The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the reform from June 2003/April 2004. The key aim of these reforms, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.

2006 will be a year of consolidation following the CAP reforms and the accession of 10 new Member States, of implementation of the expected Council decisions on the rural development framework 2007-2013 and the new CAP financial regulation as well as of preparation of the enlargement with Romania and Bulgaria.

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reductions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances, which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation is continued, in accordance with the decision of the Berlin European Council to provide EUR 500 million for the new period of validity of the programme. Additionality is to be fully observed as a condition for continuing this programme. The Commission is to submit an annual report to the European Parliament on this measure.

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

The payment appropriations are also intended to cover the settlement of commitments entered into up to 31 December 2002 in respect of measures against atmospheric pollution and fires.

This appropriation may be used to finance a study:

- to look in detail at the main causes of the dying back of forests in the European Union, with particular reference to fires and atmospheric pollution, and at possible ways of reducing their occurrence,

- to analyse the impact of the fire-prevention measures introduced as part of rural development policy in the Member States and consider how to make the best possible use of available resources, mainly by improving coordination between Member States and between regions,

- to examine the possibility of setting up a Community strategy to combat the dying back of forests which will make it possible to update existing national and/or regional programmes;

- to examine how coordination can be improved between the various Community forest protection mechanisms,

- to consider the possible creation of a specialist forest protection agency.

It may also be used to cover technical and/or administrative assistance connected with preparation, management, monitoring, auditing and control of the project, and expenditure on the dissemination of the results of the study.

Remarks

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

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on implementation of a programme to promote alternatives to international road haulage, designated "Marco Polo". The alternatives considered are short-sea shipping, rail and inland waterway.

The main objective of the programme is to help shift an amount of cargo corresponding to the anticipated growth of international road haulage to other modes.

Three types of action which complement each other are proposed:

- start-up support for new non-road freight transport services, which should be viable in the mid-term (modal shift actions),

- support for launching freight services or facilities of strategic European interest (catalyst actions),

- stimulating cooperative behaviour in the freight logistics market (common learning actions).

The Marco Polo programme will also be able to fund actions involving countries which are candidates for accession to the European Union.

This appropriation also covers dissemination activities and accompanying measures.

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

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.

Since 2001, the bulk of Community funding has been covered by a multiannual indicative programme (MIP) established by the Commission. The purpose of the programme is the sound and rational establishment of the level of expenditure from the trans-European network budget over the period 2001 to 2006. The MIP is giving project promoters an assurance of Community support during the period in question, particularly where projects are undertaken in the form of public/private partnerships.

The programme divides into three specific actions.

First specific action

Annex III to Decision No 1692/96/EC lists the 14 projects approved by the Essen European Council in 1994. Most of these projects are now reaching the construction phase. In a small number of cases, technical studies are to be pursued before a decision is taken on construction.

Second specific action: programme for the Galileo satellite navigation system

The Galileo satellite radio-navigation system has entered its second (development and validation) phase covering the period 2001 to 2005. It comprises the development of the satellites and ground-control stations and the validation of the system "in orbit".

Third specific action

Other projects identified in the context of the guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, such as the elimination of bottlenecks in the rail network, the maintenance of cross-border rail links and cross-border projects, as well as other traffic management projects, including "intelligent" transport systems (ITS) in the road and air sectors, receive Community support.

By concentrating on the priority projects and attaching priority to the elimination of bottlenecks in the rail network, the IMP provides particular support to the rail sector (63,5 % of the overall amount included in the programme). Full account is thus being taken of the provision in Regulation (EC) No 1655/1999 that rail projects, including combined transport, should receive at least 55 % of the TEN budget.

Priority should be given to projects involving crossborder connections, contributing to a modal shift, i.e. towards sustainable modes (rail and waterways) and with a guarantee that most of the financing will be provided by the Member States concerned (see the report by the high level group on the trans-European transport network of 27 June 2003, chaired by Mr van Miert). Rail projects contributing to the east-west unification of Europe should be prioritised.

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 adopted by the Council.

The objective of this measure is to contribute towards the competitive operation of the internal energy market and the strengthening of the 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance actions or measures concerning:

- implementation of medium and long-term strategies in the energy field to promote sustainable development, security of supply, competitiveness and environmental protection on the basis of shared analyses, including the development of standards and labelling and certification systems, long-term voluntary commitments to be agreed with industry, as well as forward studies, strategic studies, and regular monitoring of the development of the markets and energy trends,

- creation or enlargement of structures and instruments for sustainable energy development, including local and regional energy planning and management and the development of adequate financial products and market instruments,

- promotion of sustainable energy systems and equipment in order to accelerate their market penetration and stimulate investment to ease the transition from demonstration to marketing of the best technologies,

- development of information, education and training structures; the utilisation of results, the promotion and dissemination of know-how and best practices involving all consumers, and cooperation with the Member States through operational networks at Community and international level,

- monitoring of the implementation and impact of Community policy in the field of sustainable energy,

- evaluation of the impact of actions and projects funded under the programme.

The actions and measures are structured in three specific fields:

- improvement of energy efficiency and demand management, in particular in the construction sector and industry, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (SAVE),

- promotion of new and renewable energy sources for centralised and decentralised production and their integration into the urban environment, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (Altener),

- support for initiatives relating to the energy aspects of transport, the diversification of fuels and the promotion of renewable fuels and energy efficiency in transport, including the preparation and application of legislative measures (STEER).

As a general rule, the funding may not exceed 50 % of the total cost of the action or measure, the rest being covered either by public or private funds or a combination of the two.

The funding may, however, cover all the cost of some actions, such as studies and other actions to prepare, supplement, implement and evaluate the impact of Community strategy and policy measures and any measures proposed by the Commission to encourage exchanges of experience and know-how to improve the coordination between Community, national, international and other initiatives.

All costs relating to actions and measures undertaken solely on the Commission's initiative will be borne by the Community.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the implementation of the environmental action programmes, to promote measures and influence international responses to deal with global and transboundary environmental problems and the full and proper integration of environmental concerns into all aspects of the Community’s external relations. It will serve to support measures and initiatives which enhance the Community's leading role in international environmental fora.

It is used to pursue those objectives through:

- obligatory and voluntary contributions to a growing number of international conventions, protocols and agreements to which the Community is party and preparatory work for future international agreements involving the Community,

- financial assistance to developing countries and NGOs to participate in work on existing agreements, and preparatory work on future agreements,

- follow-up actions to the ratification and implementation of the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols (climate change and protection of the ozone layer,

- follow-up actions to the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (Rio + 10), in particular in relation to the Johannesburg Renewable Energy Coalition (notably the JREC Patient capital initiative), the Water Initiative designed to help bringing clean water and sanitation as basic goods to billions in the development countries and to the good management of water resources as an overall issue and the 10-year framework programme on sustainable consumption and production contained in the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation,

- participation in work on trade and environment in the WTO and other international forums including cooperation with international organisations, notably UNEP, UN/CSD, OECD,

- establishment of a strong environmental pillar in the Euro-Med partnership,

- support to the candidate countries and the Balkans for actions that aim at improving the level of transposition, compliance and enforcement of the EU environmental acquis. The support in this field will be channelled through contractors, consultants and international organisations, with full coverage and representation in the candidate countries,

- support to EU neighbouring countries for actions that aim at driving them closer to EU environmental norms, standards and procedures, in the context of the EU Neighbourhood Policy. The support in this field will be channelled through contractors, consultants and international organisations with coverage and representation in the EU neighbouring countries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on grants and service contracts awarded under the Community action programme promoting non-governmental organisations (NGOs) primarily active in the field of environmental protection. The multiannual (2002 to 2006) programme includes NGOs in the Balkan and candidate countries and acknowledges the importance attached to the role and input of these organisations in coordinating and channelling information and views on new and emerging environmental issues. The part of the programme relating to NGOs in the Community is detailed under Article 07 03 02.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover financial contributions to technical assistance projects in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1655/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 July 2000 concerning the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE) (OJ L 192, 28.7.2000, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1682/2004 of 15 September 2004 (OJ L 308, 5.10.2004, p. 1) pertaining to the third thematic component of LIFE III, "LIFE-third countries". Actions covered will support the establishment of capacities and administrative structures needed in the environmental sector in third countries. The financial framework for the implementation of the extension in the period 2005 to 2006 is set at EUR 317200000. The allocation of available appropriations for accompanying measures is limited to 6 % for the period 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2006. The countries eligible to participate in the LIFE-third countries programme are Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the Baltic shoreline of Russia (Kaliningrad and St Petersburg regions). The European Union and bordering countries acting together to address environmental problems will be far more effective than individual national actions; many such issues being of a transnational nature. The activities undertaken aim at contributing to the development and strengthening of national environmental policies and action programmes with the objective of increasing environmental protection in countries bordering on the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea, other than candidate central and east European countries who have signed association agreements with the European Union.

Support to actions promoting cooperation and coordination between several countries (European Union and bordering countries) is particularly targeted by the multiannual programme.

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

Remarks

The recent natural disasters which affected several Member states and accession countries through forest fires, floods or drought have clearly shown the deficits in cooperation between countries but also between border regions. This pilot project is aimed at raising awareness of the need for cooperation and should provide a framework to develop closer cooperation on civil protection measures with a view to preventing or at least minimising the consequences of such disasters by developing cross-border early warning, coordination and logistical tools (European Parliament resolution of 8 September 2005).

TITLE 08

RESEARCH

Overall objectives

The Commission’s policy initiatives to achieve the European Research Area are devised, developed and followed up within this policy area.

European research contributes to attaining the objectives of the other Community policies and, in return, promotes the incorporation of research policy needs in these policies.

Community actions required to achieve the European Research Area are devised and implemented within this policy area, in particular the research and technological development framework programmes.

This domain contributes to implementing the Lisbon strategy for employment, international competitiveness, economic reform and social cohesion in the European Union, in particular in connection with the establishment of an area of education, training, research and innovation.

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this title (with the exception of Chapters 08 13 and 08 14).

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2321/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in, and for the dissemination of research results for, the implementation of the European Community sixth framework programme (2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 23) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 2322/2002 of 5 November 2002 concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in the implementation of the sixth framework programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (2002 to 2006) (OJ L 355, 30.12.2002, p. 35).

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 will be applicable. 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 sixth framework programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 3 of Decision No 1513/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, 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.

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.

The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is possible in the case of some of these projects (particularly COST). Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 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).

Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

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.

Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 12 03.

Remarks

The emphasis will be put on research aimed at bringing basic knowledge through to application, to enable real and consistent progress in medicine and improve quality of life.

The research activities will cover the following aspects:

- application-oriented genomic approaches to medical knowledge and technologies: the strategic objective of this line of action is to develop improved strategies for the prevention and management, using also advanced technologies for health, of human disease (cardiovascular, rare and nervous system diseases, diabetes, resistance to antibiotics, and rheumatism) and for living and ageing healthily. It will concentrate exclusively on integrating a genomic approach through all relevant organisms into more established medical approaches for investigating disease and health determinants. The emphasis will be on transnational research aimed at bringing basic knowledge through to clinical application,

- combating cancer: the objective is to combat cancer by developing improved patient-oriented strategies, from prevention to more effective and earlier diagnosis and better treatment with minimal side effects. The research will therefore concentrate on translating the knowledge being created by genomics and other fields of basic research into applications that improve clinical practice and public health,

- confronting the major communicable diseases linked to poverty: the strategic objective of this line of action is to confront the global emergency caused by the three major communicable diseases, HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, through the development of effective disease interventions, particularly for use in developing countries. It is envisaged that developing countries will be significant partners in the implementation of this line of action and, as appropriate, participate directly in specific activities within it, in particular through the clinical trials programme and other international initiatives, in particular those related to HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis research. In addition, pursuant to Article 169 of the EC Treaty, this item also provides for financial participation by the Community in programmes undertaken by several Member States. This action on Community participation in a research and development programme aimed at developing new clinical interventions to combat the global crisis caused by HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis through a long-term partnership between Europe and the developing countries, undertaken by Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, comes under the heading "Combating major diseases".

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.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the Modinis multiannual programme, which provides financial support to the eEurope 2005 action plan adopted by the European Council Seville in 2002. The overall objective of the eEurope 2005 action plan is to provide a favourable environment for private investment and for the creation of new jobs, to boost productivity, to modernise public services, and to give everyone the opportunity to participate in the global information society. eEurope 2005 therefore aims to stimulate secure services, applications and content based on a widely available broadband infrastructure.

The measures carried out under this programme must take the gender dimension into account and must help ensure greater involvement of women in the information society.

The Community intervention is to finance the monitoring and the comparison of the efforts of the Member States on the basis of the open method of performance coordination adopted under the Lisbon strategy.

The general objectives of the action are:

- monitoring of the performances of the countries of the European Union against the most advanced countries by constituting a database of uniform and comparable information between the Member States,

- analysis of best eEurope practices and development of mechanisms for the exchange of experience with a view to converting the best practices into political measures,

- analysis of the impact of the "information society" on society,

- support and promotion of network security by means of studies, surveys and exchanges of experience.

The measures described above will be the subject of contracts covering the following: analysis, expert reports, evaluation, specific studies, technical operations, coordination, grants, participation in international cooperation projects, participation in expenditure on equipment and on accompanying and support measures (studies, seminars, workshops, publications, creation of Internet sites for the dissemination of information and launching of electronic discussions on the Internet).

Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Article 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

The overall objective of this programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable in areas of public interest — such as public sector information, education and culture — facilitating the creation and diffusion of information and knowledge at the Union level. The programme will support the development of multilingual content for innovative, online services across the EU. Such content should help to drive demand for broadband access and bring wider benefits for businesses, citizens and the economy. The programme seeks to support the combination of information from different systems — irrespective of format, language or location — and to ensure that content works on different platforms, and is better tailored to the specific needs of the user.

The operational focus will be on:

- facilitating access to, use and exploitation of digital content,

- improving quality and facilitating best practice for digital content,

- reinforcing cooperation and awareness.

The measures described above will be the subject of shared-cost actions covering: projects designed to augment knowledge to improve existing products, processes and/or services and/or to meet the needs of Community policies; best practice actions to spread knowledge and thematic networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders around a given technological and organisational objective. There will also be parts that are fully financed by the Community, such as the accompanying measures that will contribute to the implementation of the programme or the preparation of future activities (studies in support of the programme; exchange of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered activities; dissemination, information and communication activities, evaluation and monitoring of the measure and projects).

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 new online technologies, particularly for children, and to fight against illegal content and content unwanted by the end-user. In line with this, the programme will focus on the end-user, particularly parents, educators and children.

The specific objectives are:

- fighting against illegal content by allowing users to report illegal content, with a network of hotlines,

- tackling unwanted and harmful content: benchmarking of filtering software, coordination of exchanges of information and best practices on effective enforcement against spam, development of effective filtering technology; adaptation of existing content rating systems to take account of convergence,

- promoting a safer environment by supporting a self-regulatory approach (design and implementation of European codes of conduct for industry) and ensuring cooperation at Community level,

- increasing awareness about safer use of the Internet, by supporting a European network of awareness activities.

Content providers, Internet service providers and mobile network operators, regulators, standards bodies, industry self-regulatory bodies, national, regional and local authorities responsible for industry, education, consumer protection, families, children's rights and child welfare and non-governmental organisations active in consumer protection, families, children's rights and child welfare will all be called on to contribute to putting this programme into action.

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

- 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 bringing together a variety of stakeholders to ensure action throughout the European Union and to facilitate coordination activities and transfer of knowledge. They may be linked to best-practice actions,

- applied Europe-wide research carried out on a comparable basis into the way people, especially children, use new media.

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 the Internet and new online technologies for all Member States collected through a comparable methodology,

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

- studies in support of the programme and its actions, including self-regulation and the work of the Safer Internet Forum, and the preparation of future activities,

- prize competitions for best practice; exchange of information, conferences, seminars, workshops or other meetings and the management of clustered activities plus dissemination, information and communication activities.

Remarks

The priority thematic area of information society technologies (IST) will contribute directly to the formulation of policies for the knowledge-based society in line with the revised Lisbon agenda. It will ensure European leadership in the generic and applied technologies at the heart of the knowledge-based economy. It aims to increase innovation and competitiveness in European businesses and industry and to contribute to greater benefits for all European citizens.

The 2005 to 2006 work programme will focus research efforts on a limited number of strategic objectives which are essential to achieve the aims of the IST priority under the sixth research and technological development framework programme. These strategic objectives will also be defined so as to:

- consolidate forces in the fields in which Europe is the industrial and technological leader,

- overcome weaknesses in critical areas to ensure European competitiveness and to rise to the challenges facing society,

- exploit new opportunities and react to emerging needs, and

- ensure the joint development of technologies and applications so that technological advances can be exploited in new products and services.

Finally, this new work programme will start to pave the way for certain solutions and tools under the seventh framework programme, such as technology platforms.

Remarks

These comments apply to all the budget headings in the Direct research policy area (with the exception of Chapter 10 05).

The appropriations cover not only expenditure on operations and staff covered by the Staff Regulations, but also other expenditure on staff, contracting, infrastructure, information and publications and any other administrative expenditure arising from research and technological development operations, including exploratory research.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Items 6 2 2 4 and 6 2 2 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Miscellaneous revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be used in Chapter 10 02, 10 03 or 10 04 or Article 10 01 05, depending on their purpose.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 1 and 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The additional appropriations will be provided under Articles 10 02 05 and 10 03 04.

The appropriations in this title cover approximately 16 % of the cost of the staff working in the financial and administrative departments of the Joint Research Centre and of the support which they need.

ACTIVITIES WITHOUT BUDGET LINES

- ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR THE JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE

- POLICY STRATEGY AND COORDINATION FOR THE JOINT RESEARCH CENTRE

TITLE 11

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 five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP (including conservation of fisheries resources, control and dialogue with fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the Financial Instrument for Fisheries Guidance (FIFG).

Sixty percent of appropriations is devoted to the FIFG. However, the FIFG operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of decentralised 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 European trade bodies for the organisation of internal coordination meetings in preparation for meetings of the Advisory Committee on Fisheries,

- 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.

In the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will set up regional advisory councils and contribute to ensuring their operation with a view to improving the involvement of stakeholders in the CFP.

This appropriation is intended to strengthen the participation of people working in fisheries and other interest groups in the CFP process, providing support for a form of a more decentralised fisheries resource management that takes greater account of specific regional characteristics.

Part of the appropriation is earmarked also for information activities linked to the common fisheries policy and maritime affairs as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Particular effort will be devoted to explaining the rules of the common fisheries policy to the new Member States and to establishing direct contact with the fisheries industry and the local and regional press.

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

Remarks

These remarks apply to all the budget headings in this chapter.

All research activities conducted pursuant to the sixth framework programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 3 of Decision 1513/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 232, 29.8.2002, 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.

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 measures necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's research and technological development strategy.

The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

The additional appropriations will be provided under Article 11 05 02.

Remarks

The aim is to develop research activities in support of other Community policies, on the one hand, and, on the other, to be able to launch research activities rapidly as unforeseeable scientific and technological needs appear. They will complement the research within the priority thematic areas.

Part of this appropriation is intended to provide scientific support for:

- the common agricultural policy (CAP) and the common fisheries policy (CFP),

- sustainable development, in particular the Community's policy goals for the environment, transport and energy,

- other Community policies, namely health (in particular public health), regional development, trade, development aid, the internal market and competitiveness, social policy and employment, education and training, culture, equality, consumer protection, the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice and external relations, including policies to support enlargement together with the necessary statistical tools and methods,

- the objectives of Community policies arising from the guidelines set by the European Council in the fields of economic policy, the information society together with eEurope and enterprise.

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.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Remarks

This appropriation covers:

- the Community contribution to expenditure incurred by the Member States in connection with the Community framework for the collection and management of basic fisheries data,

- studies and pilot projects carried out by the Commission, where appropriate in cooperation with the Member States, to provide methodological support for programmes to collect basic data and the information necessary for the implementation of the common fisheries policy.

In the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy, the Commission will implement adequate measures in order to improve scientific advice on fisheries issues.

Part of the appropriation is intended for:

- improving scientific advice on the management of fishery resources, taking account not only of the impact of fishing industry activities but also of other factors (maritime transport, pollution, etc.) which have an impact on fishery resources,

- developing a sound statistical basis which will enable scientific advice to be improved and increased. This will reinforce the aspects relating to the common fisheries policy, the introduction of multiannual plans and the use of more selective fishing gear, in order to maintain the balance of fishery resources.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure relating to the implementation of the action programme for Community customs, and in particular the financing of measures for monitoring licence management systems, working parties, pilot projects or schemes and seminars with officials from Member States' administrations and from non-member countries associated with customs policy and representatives of outside bodies, as well as the coordinated development of the use of computerised customs procedures, taking account of the current state of computerisation of national administrations and the interests of economic operators in the European Union, and of developments in the international environment in this area.

This support will take the form of the financing of expenditure on studies, the development, implementation and operation of common systems and the definition of common guidelines for training and technical assistance for implementation. The operating expenditure also covers financial contributions to the functioning of systems, in particular decentralised data input; the financing of information and training measures for system users; the acquisition and maintenance of shared equipment; the financing of technical assistance.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure incurred by the implementation of the activities, particularly exchanges of officials and the organisation of joint training courses, provided for in the abovementioned Decisions for Community customs and indirect-taxation officials responsible for applying Community law in connection with the internal market and at the external borders of the Community.

These exchanges may also involve certain non-member countries if it is thought that this will be useful for achieving the objectives of the programme.

This appropriation also covers the financing of customs-related analyses and strategic studies, the development of harmonised working methods and measures to provide Member States with assistance and technical support.

Particular attention needs to be given to programmes for training and exchange of information to improve knowledge and control of the illegal trade in animal and plant species in the context of implementing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

This appropriation may also cover the involvement of non-member countries where cooperation with these countries, and particularly the adoption of common procedures, will facilitate trade and improve fraud prevention, and consequently make for more efficient administration of the internal market.

Any revenue from the participation of non-member countries in customs cooperation agreements entered in Item 6 0 3 2 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this article, in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

Such programmes could consist of maintenance work, educational history projects and exchanges with other schools in the European Union.

The increase in appropriations above the level proposed in the preliminary draft budget will be used to raise the level of the Erasmus student mobility grant.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to fund general information work on the European Union, with the aim of providing all Europeans with general information on the work of the Community institutions, on decisions taken and on the different stages of European integration, a task which falls within the public service remit. The information concerned covers all the Community institutions.

The Commission has adopted communications to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on a framework for cooperation in activities concerning the information and communication policy of the European Union (COM(2001) 354 final, COM(2002) 350 final and COM(2004) 196 final). These communications propose an interinstitutional framework for cooperation between the institutions and with the Member States for the development of an information and communication strategy for the European Union.

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

With regard to the decentralised measures, the Commission representations and the European Parliament's external offices must 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 production of information for citizens is provided via actions through the media.

The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 18(1)(e) to (j) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 10000.

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

Remarks

Decision No 20/2004/EC establishes a general framework for financing Community actions in support of consumer policy as defined in the multiannual strategy. The decision and the strategy entail three strategic objectives in the medium term:

- a high, harmonised level of consumer protection throughout the EU,

- effective implementation of consumer protection rules,

- involvement of consumer organisations in Community policies.

These three aims are supported by the legal basis mentioned below, applicable for 2004 to 2007.

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.

Memoranda of understanding were signed with Romania on 22 October 2004 and with Bulgaria on 29 October 2004. They will enter into force after ratification at national level.

Remarks

The aim of the new programme of Community action in the field of public health (2003 to 2008) is 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 are:

- 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.

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

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.

Remarks

The Community's financial assistance will make it possible to accelerate eradication or control by providing funds to supplement national financial resources and will contribute to harmonising measures at Community level. A major part of these diseases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.) and combating them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union; the persistence of these diseases hampers smooth operation of the internal market.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Community contribution to measures to eliminate obstacles to the free movement of goods in these sectors and to veterinary support and back-up measures.

One important measure is providing financial assistance for the work of the Community reference laboratories designated in Community legislation. The work they do helps improve control over animal diseases and prevent them and reduce the risks as far as possible.

This appropriation also covers expenditure on the monitoring of compliance with animal-protection provisions during the transport of animals for slaughter.

It is also intended to finance the development of marker vaccines or tests which can distinguish between sick and vaccinated animals.

Credits of this line can also be used for the establishment and the maintenance of a rapid alert system for the notification of a direct or indirect risk to human health deriving from food or feed

Technical and scientific measures necessary to develop Community veterinary legislation, for example the surveillance of Campylobacter in broilers in Sweden, are also covered by this appropriation.

The appearance of certain 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. Against that backdrop, the Community should make a financial contribution towards the eradication, as quickly as possible, of any outbreak of a serious infectious disease when Member States deploy Community means to combat epizootic diseases.

This will involve in particular an assessment of the implementation of each of the rights laid down notably in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, taking account of developments in national laws, the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and the European Court of Human Rights, the conclusions of treaty monitoring committees concerning implementation of UN conventions by Member States, reports by other relevant monitoring bodies, such as the Committee against Torture, and any notable case-law of the Member States' national and constitutional courts.

This appropriation is also intended to fund the development of information tools (databases, helplines, legal aid), in agreement with relevant institutions in the Member States and NGOs operating in the field of fundamental rights, enabling all persons to gain access to the information they require.

EUR 250000 of this appropriation is also intended to fund initiatives involving the Member States' constitutional courts and European-level courts with a view to establishing a European centre for the monitoring of constitutional courts' case-law on fundamental rights as laid down in the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. It is also intended to cover translation of that case-law into at least English and French.

It will also make direct contacts between judges of different Member States necessary. At the same time the framework decision illustrates the fact that enormous challenges still need to be overcome. The pace of decision-making at European level has increased in an unprecedented way. This needs now to be followed up by increased training efforts to ensure proper implementation. Legal practitioners in the EU need to acquire sufficient knowledge not only about the different judicial systems in the Member States, but also, in particular, about relevant EU law. In addition a common understanding within the profession needs to be developed. Most importantly, the overall quality of the judicial system needs to be improved in order to ensure citizens' support for the common European judicial area. Permanent efforts will be needed to ensure that the mutual trust between Member States is maintained. In this context, reference should be made to the Green Paper on procedural safeguards in criminal proceedings.

These are all not only Member State tasks, but also European-level tasks since judges are now considered also to be judges of the EU.

The preparatory action should contribute to the efforts already undertaken to improve the quality of the judicial systems in the EU Member States, notably by means of training for members of the judiciary. These needs are cross-cutting and the pilot project should address them with no distinction between criminal and civil law cooperation, thus overcoming this artificial separation between the first and third pillars.

The preparatory action should comprise two main elements: firstly, improved training for members of the judiciary, mainly through the exchange programme but also through the development of learning and teaching materials, and, secondly, increased cooperation between all the actors involved (academic lawyers, training institutions and the judiciary), to ensure better mutual understanding and exchange of best practices.

As regards the first element, members of the judiciary should have the possibility of participating in a programme comprising several modules:

I. Exchange programme: the cornerstone of the pilot project should be the setting-up of an exchange programme for members of the judiciary. It should be a non-bureaucratic and sustainable scheme. In each Member State a contact point should be set up. It would be up to each Member State to determine its contact point, which should be an institution responsible for the training of members of the judiciary.

II. eLearning: in order to reach as many persons as possible in the target group, by way of a first step appropriate eLearning material should be developed and disseminated widely (for example learning material or courses provided by institutions or bodies responsible for training of members of the judiciary, including videos of typical court hearings, reports by participants to exchange programmes with hyperlinks to homepages of the Commission and Parliament websites and to relevant contact points (e.g. liaison magistrates, Eurojust and national members) and to cooperation tools set up by the European judicial network (such as a judicial atlas, etc.). Members of the judiciary should be able to consult this material if they need to acquire knowledge about problems concerning EU law or the current situation in a particular Member State.

III. Regular meeting of officials responsible for training institutions to exchange and discuss:

- the programme and content of initial and further vocational training,

- conditions for the reciprocal opening-up of permanent training sessions to practitioners from all Member States,

- best practices and assessment criteria.

Remarks

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

It covers information in the field of justice and home affairs in relation to the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice. This measure is 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.

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 and of the creation of an interinstitutional server giving on-line 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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover a subsidy to the budgets of the various centres, institutes or networks which are acknowledged specialists in the analysis and monitoring of relations between the European Union and other regions for the external relations policy. This subsidy will enable the existing centres to step up their activities (research, seminars, contacts and publications) and to incorporate themes marked out by the Commission as particularly relevant and topical in relations between the European Union and the regions concerned. A more intensive analysis is envisaged of certain relations between the European Union and the regions concerned, i.e. Asia, Latin America, the Mediterranean, the Balkans and the independent States of the former Soviet Union.

Remarks

This appropriation follows on from 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), which have paved the way for a legal basis.

The EU has approved a Community programme for the cooperation with non-EU countries and regions of origin and transit in the field of migration and asylum, which will provide a specific, additional response to the needs encountered by these countries in their efforts to better manage migratory flows, and to help them to improve their capacities to fulfil their international obligations in the field of asylum and migration, including readmission.

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 rule of law, as well as of human and minority 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 aiming to strengthen democracy and the rule of law and the compliance with international instruments in this field, including the Geneva Convention on Refugees.

Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agencies (in particular, UN 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. As regards cooperation with the authorities of the States involved, all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that the monies allocated are not used for purposes other than those for which they are intended.

Priority will be given to comprehensive programmes that shall be consistent with the Community efforts which contribute to addressing the root causes of migration.

In the implementation of the cooperation measures related to the improvement of the institutional, administrative and logistical capacities of non-EU countries to help them to fulfil their obligations in the areas of asylum, migration, including readmission, full attention will be given to the way the people (migrants, refugees or readmitted persons) are treated. This will be subject to strict controls.

Remarks

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".

Legal basis

Remarks

The quick-release of financing through the rapid reaction mechanism is designed for situations of crisis or emerging crisis, situations posing a threat to law and order, the security and safety of individuals, situations threatening to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country 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 in particular the financing of actions of civilian nature aimed at counteracting or resolving emerging crisis situations and serious threats or outbreaks of conflict.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation 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 EU 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.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and improvement of the budgetary procedure (OJ C 172, 18.6.1999, p. 1).

Remarks

Conflict prevention and crisis management activities, by their nature, require a possibility to react to relatively unforeseeable external developments. A "crisis situation" means a situation in a country outside the European Union which poses a threat to law and order and the safety of individuals, which threatens to escalate into armed conflict or to destabilise the country or countries and which might seriously jeopardise the common values, fundamental interests, independence and integrity of the Union, its security, the preservation of peace and international security, the promotion of international cooperation or the development and consolidation of democracy and the rule of law, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms as defined in Article 11 of the Treaty on European Union. Action financed under this heading by the common foreign and security policy (CFSP) budget must be of a civilian nature, have a limited duration and keep within the budget allocated.

In view of the diversity and scale of these activities, a substantial capacity to respond to situations of imminent conflict or crisis is required in the CFSP framework — notably in the area of Petersberg tasks, without military implications, or in the defence field — which justifies keeping the article at a high level.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance measures which contribute to the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical and biological). Since the adoption of the EU strategy against the proliferation of WMD in December 2003, joint actions can be identified more quickly. Under item 19 01 04 14, a maximum of two experts are intended to be financed to help the Commission to implement projects under this budget line.

It is also intended to finance operations to combat the destabilising accumulation and trafficking of small arms and light weapons, provided that they are not already covered by the provisions of the Cotonou Agreement concerning similar action in the ACP States. New actions are foreseen in new geographic areas, in particular in eastern Europe.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover conflict resolution activities undertaken or supported by the European Union. ESDP (civil component) crisis management operations, in particular in the fields of police and rule of law, fall under this article. These actions are generally involving considerable running costs and logistical needs. In 2006, follow-up and new joint actions are foreseen in the Middle East, Iraq and Africa. New possible projects in the area of counterterrorism could be launched.

On the basis of the joint declarations on CFSP between the European Parliament and the Council of 25 November 2002 and 30 November 2005, progress in establishing a political information and consultation circle with the European Parliament has been achieved. This political dialogue must continue as agreed between both institutions and must be qualitatively improved.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover grant aid to projects undertaken in non-member countries and in the European Union with the following objectives:

(a) the promotion and defence of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including:

- the promotion and protection of the fundamental rights of those discriminated against or suffering from poverty or disadvantage,

- support for minorities, ethnic groups and indigenous peoples to enable them to secure better their fundamental rights, including support for their joint efforts for recognition of their rights at international level,

- support and assessment of needs for the fight against torture and impunity; EUR 8500000 of this appropriation is intended to support rehabilitation centres for torture victims, which must remain an overriding priority, and for organisations offering concrete help to victims of human rights abuses; support for organisations that help to improve the rights of people who are deprived of their liberty, in order to prevent torture or ill-treatment; support for torture-prevention measures,

- support for education, training and consciousness-raising in the area of human rights and support for human rights defenders and the rights of forcibly displaced persons,

- the promotion of equality of opportunity and non-discriminatory practices, including measures to combat racism and xenophobia,

- support for projects combating all types of violence against women (such as stoning, public castigation, genital mutilation, burning and rape), in particular by backing European Union or local NGO initiatives for the ratification, entry into force and implementation of the Maputo Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, on the Rights of Women in Africa, adopted by the African Union on 11 July 2003,

- support for projects promoting intercultural and interreligious dialogue.

This appropriation is also intended to investigate the possibility of setting up a radio network ultimately capable of constituting a "Voice of Europe", so as to produce daily information programmes for broadcast to all countries with totalitarian or authoritarian regimes. The network's programmes must be geared to the human rights and minorities situation, and to the Union's activities in those areas, and broadcast in the local language(s) concerned.

This appropriation is also intended to fund radio and television programme production and cross-border broadcasting to Belarus, from EU Member States, and to support the work of the European Humanities University in exile and its students.

(b) support for the democratisation process, strengthening of the rule of law and good governance, including:

- the promotion and strengthening of the rule of law, in particular support for the independence of the judiciary in order to strengthen it, and support for a humane police and prison system,

- support for actions related to the promotion of good governance, including the development of indicators to monitor good governance,

- support for constitutional and legislative reform in favour of the abolition of the death penalty,

- the promotion of pluralism both at political level and at the level of civil society by strengthening the institutions needed to maintain the pluralist nature of that society, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and by promoting independent and responsible media, with funding for specific radio stations or broadcasts, and supporting a free press and respect for the rights of freedom of association and assembly,

- support for capacity-building for parliamentary institutions and members, in particular for the development of the legislative, budgetary and control powers of the Pan-African Parliament and the newly elected democratic Parliaments of Indonesia, Afghanistan, Iraq and other new democratic countries, inter alia, by exchange programmes with the European Parliament,

- support for the African Leadership Council,

- support for electoral processes, in particular by supporting independent electoral commissions, granting material, technical and legal assistance in preparing for elections, including electoral censuses, taking measures to promote the participation of specific groups, particularly women, and to promote access for disabled people in the electoral process, and by training observers.

Part of this appropriation may be allocated, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, to providing support for the activities of organisations which are working to develop and strengthen democratisation processes and the promotion and defence of human rights, and in particular to promote freedom of assembly and political pluralism in territories in which repression is a particular threat and in places where jail sentences are imposed for such activities, without any judicial guarantees. Special attention should be given to this kind of situation in isolated states and to organisations and projects supported by the European Parliament.

- support for measures facilitating the peaceful conciliation of group interests, including support for confidence-building measures relating to human rights and democratisation, in order to prevent conflict and to restore civil peace,

- support for inter-ethnic and cross-national joint programmes with the purpose of building a strong basis for mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence between the parties in conflict, including for parliamentarians and other elected officials,

- support for international, regional or local organisations, including NGOs, involved in preventing, resolving and dealing with the consequences of conflict, together with support and assistance for victims of human rights violations;

(d) support for efforts to foster the establishment of groupings of democratic countries within United Nations bodies, specialised agencies and regional organisations:

- support for efforts to increase the number of countries belonging to the Community of Democracies,

- support for the efforts of NGOs working towards those objectives by mobilising civil society to consolidate democracy, the rule of law and human rights.

As regards geographical and thematic coverage, countries, regions and themes will be selected to maximise the added value of financing for the European initiative for democracy and human rights (EIDHR), with in particular certain target countries being chosen and special focus on the Arab region and the Middle Eastern countries.

Remarks

Japan

The planned activities are intended to improve market access of EU goods and cross-border services to Japan through:

- measures aimed at improving knowledge of the Japanese market; the executive training programme (ETP), designed to build up a pool of European executives able to communicate and operate in Japan's business environment, will be continued,

- measures aimed at improving the commercial presence of EU industry in Japan; the "Gateway to Japan" campaign,

- other measures facilitating access to the Japanese market.

Greater focus will be given to EU-Japan cooperation activities. Continuing efforts will have to be made in view of converting the EU-Japan action plan adopted at the summit of December 2001 into concrete action (e.g. conferences, seminars, development of Europe centres in Japan, etc.). An enhanced and better structured dialogue with Japan will be developed, along the lines of the objectives set out in the action plan in the four cooperation priority areas.

Any revenue from financial participation by outside parties in promotional activities, notably the ETP programme, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

United States of America

The planned activities will contribute to implement the new transatlantic agenda (NTA), which was signed in December 1995 and provides the framework under which the EU conducts its relations with the United States of America. The NTA is complemented by a joint action plan under which the EU and the United States of America jointly committed themselves to the achievement of a wide range of objectives not only concerning bilateral relations, but also cooperative actions towards non–member countries, in multilateral forums and on global challenges. The Commission intends to continue its support to the transatlantic dialogues between non-government actors and to step up its support to EU Centers in the US by adopting a multi-annual programme as recommended in the EU Centers evaluation carried out in 2003 to 2004.

The Commission also plans to develop targeted communication and information activities to pursue the objectives of the NTA.

Canada

The wide agenda of EU-Canada cooperation is reflected in the diversity of the planned activities, which fit into the overall programme for cooperation set up by the joint political declaration on EU-Canada relations and the joint EU-Canada action plan. The Commission will pursue the activities intended to enhance cooperation and to develop economic relations. Efforts to raise awareness of the benefits of EU-Canada relations will be continued, through targeted communication and information initiatives and education projects.

South Korea

The focus will be on enhancing knowledge of Korean language and business culture through the executive training programme for Korea which has been established on a recurrent basis. Other cooperation activities which might usefully accompany the implementation of the Framework Agreement and the study on industrial cooperation and contribute to achieving its objectives will also be considered, provided that funding can be made available.

Australia and New Zealand

The Commission will consider activities in line with the objectives laid down in particular by the Joint Declaration of June 1997, revised in 2003. As regards New Zealand, possible projects envisaged will be intended to reinforce cooperation in areas referred to in the Joint Declaration of May 1999, revised in 2004, in order to meet the common objectives on economic cooperation, political and security cooperation and various other areas of cooperation.

The focus will be on initiatives aimed at (i) reinforcing people-to-people links and education cooperation between the EU and AUS/NZ; (ii) at fostering a better understanding of the EU, its initiatives, its policies in AUS/NZ in particular through curriculum development, research and outreach activities and public diplomacy initiatives; (iii) other activities in pursuit of the objectives set out in the joint political declarations.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

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 35 % target for social infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs;

- 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.

The cooperation agreements with the countries of the Middle East and the southern Mediterranean lay down a human rights clause, failure to comply with which means that the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupulous in making sure that that clause is complied with by beneficiaries when any project is funded.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to cover the financing:

- of support for economic transition (by backing the processes of modernisation and economic reconstruction of the Mediterranean non-member countries, including support for microbusinesses and small- and medium-sized enterprises, with a view to the gradual creation of a free trade area and by promoting direct investment in the region (risk capital),

- of achievement of a better socioeconomic balance (inter alia, by dealing with the social impact of the macroeconomic reforms and the restructuring of economic sectors by contributing to the improvement of social services, in particular through poverty alleviation programmes, balanced and integrated rural development, the improvement of health and welfare systems, education systems and employment systems, including the upgrading of vocational training policies and structures, the promotion of cultural exchanges, the strengthening of democracy and human rights, promotion of independent press and media, protection of the environment, promoting civil society participation and promoting women's active participation in economic and social life),

- of support for regional integration and in particular the promotion of regional cooperation, including the environment field (regional projects, decentralised cooperation programmes, cross-border cooperation with the Mediterranean regions of the European Union), as well as to support the Middle East peace process,

- of support for cross-national and interethnic dialogue through joint educational programmes.

A significant percentage of this appropriation is to be used for the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, to include funding participation by members of the parliaments of the Mediterranean non-member countries and territories in the activities of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly and the costs incurred by these countries when organising such activities on their own territory.

This appropriation is also intended to cover civil society follow-up to relevant provisions of the final declaration of the Sana'a Intergovernmental Regional Conference on Democracy, Human Rights and the Role of the International Criminal Court held in January 2004 with the support of the European Union.

This appropriation covers, in particular, the protection and promotion of children's rights and the integration of children's rights into programming, including in country strategy papers (CSPs), national indicative programmes (NIPs) and mid-term reviews.

In implementing the appropriations, the Commission shall take account of the situation in each country regarding respect for the principles of democracy and the rule of law, respect for human rights and the rights of minorities, respect for international law and respect for the territorial integrity and external borders of the Member States and Mediterranean non-member countries (resolution of the European Parliament of 19 September 1996).

This appropriation also covers pilot schemes in the social development field, notably to promote the participation of civil society and its actors in the design and implementation of participative socioeconomic development programmes at local level.

A significant part of the support provided by this appropriation to local and regional business development is intended for transferring management skills and creating a positive financial environment that will enable small- and medium-sized enterprises to realise their full employment and growth potential.

The operations are intended to help the Palestinian population of the Territories, the central aim being the Territories' social and economic development, notably in respect of production (agriculture, fisheries and industry), urban and rural development, health, water supply, the environment, training and education and the establishment of Palestinian institutions.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover Community operations in the framework of the Iraqi reconstruction process. It may be supplemented by expenditure committed under other chapters and articles, notably Chapter 23 02 (Humanitarian aid), Chapter 21 02 (Development cooperation policy and sectoral strategies), Chapter 19 04 (European initiative for democracy and human rights (EIDHR)) and Article 19 02 05 (Rapid reaction mechanism).

The Commission will monitor compliance with the conditions for the Community contribution to this process, notably full implementation of the framework agreed at the Madrid Conference, the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament "The European Union and Iraq — A Framework for Engagement" of 6 June 2004 (COM(2004) 417) and Parliament's resolution of 6 July 2005 on that communication (OJ C …), in particular paragraphs 33 and 34 thereof.

The Commission will ensure that the Community contribution is delivered in the most effective manner while taking due account of the views of the European Parliament. In this regard, 2006 funding will only be channelled through the World Bank arm of the IRFFI where this mechanism has a clear advantage over alternative intermediaries (European or other). The Commission will furthermore provide complete, regular and transparent information on the actual disbursement and implementation of EU assistance.

This appropriation also covers actions by women’s rights organisations in Iraq and activities to improve the position of women in the economic, political and social life of the country and to support their active involvement in all fields and at all levels of decision-making.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Latin American developing countries, particularly the poorest of them, aimed mainly at the most disadvantaged sections of the population, in order to:

- 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 disabled people,

- support integrated approaches (linking economic progress to social development and environmental and consumer protection),

- support regional integration,

- improve the standard of education, health and transport infrastructures,

- promote the increased use of information and communications technologies.

Emphasis is placed on operations influencing the judicial structure and cooperation with the European Union in that connection, economic organisation and institutional development, operations concerning the environment, the education of women and children, addressing the situation of street children, promotion of consumer policy, democratisation, regional cooperation, disaster prevention, reconstruction measures and the promotion of the peace process in Colombia and the democratisation process in Cuba.

This appropriation is also intended to consolidate the important political signals given at EU-Latin America Summits and to provide the necessary regulatory backing for the bi-regional strategic partnership process and association agreements with the countries and regions of Latin America.

Investments on lands traditionally inhabited by indigenous peoples or by other local communities, and other projects significantly affecting their livelihood or social organisation, shall not be carried out without, as far as possible, their prior consultation and informed consent.

This appropriation is also intended to cover:

- operations and other measures of a horizontal nature to enhance the profile or increase awareness of European Union cooperation with Latin American developing countries,

- information and training-related activities in areas such as sexual equality, preventing discrimination against disabled people and protecting the environment and tropical forests,

This covers actions aimed at helping women and women's organisations to reduce gender inequalities in society and to combat discrimination against women in society,

- systematic monitoring and evaluation to assess the environmental impact of the development schemes funded by this article and the publication of an annual assessment report. At least 10 % of these funds is to be used for environmental policies resulting from the Agenda 21 programme agreed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro on 3 to 14 June 1992, including renewable energy projects to facilitate the transfer of EU renewable and zero-emissions energy and related technologies,

- the fight against corruption, drug trafficking and money laundering in the context of the related cooperation programmes.

A priority for this article will be to prevent and combat severe violence against women and lack of action against such violence will constitute a reason to suspend EU assistance.

Utilisation of this appropriation is dependent on compliance with the terms of the democracy clause in the cooperation agreements.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover development schemes in Asian developing countries, in particular the poorest of them, aimed at 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, universal access for children of both sexes and women to primary and secondary education, 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.

It is also intended to cover information and training-related activities in areas such as fighting discrimination against women and disabled people, and exploitation of children of both sexes, promoting consumer protection policy, campaigns against drugs and AIDS and population issues assisted by greater use of 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.

This appropriation also covers (micro, small and medium) loans and credits granted through the banking system that support, in particular, initiatives to promote employment for women and disabled people.

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 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). 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.

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

TITLE 20

TRADE

Overall objectives

This domain aims to contribute, in the general interest, to the harmonious development of world trade, the gradual removal of restrictions to international trade and the reduction of customs barriers.

An important pillar of the European Union’s economic relations with the rest of the world, it contributes to the Union’s broader goals of promoting sustainable development and assuming a larger role in multilateral governance. It covers all the main aspects of trade in goods and services (tariff and non-tariff barriers, trade protection measures, in particular in cases of dumping and subsidies, export credits) and the important issues of intellectual property, investment and competition.

This policy area comprises two operational activities: trade policy and anti-dumping strategy.

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:

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 Phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures,

- the establishment and running 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,

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to help developing countries to participate effectively in the multilateral trading system and regional trading arrangements and to improve their trade performance through the actions set out below.

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, to strengthen the institutions involved in trade policy, to participate effectively in international trade negotiations and to implement international trade agreements. This assistance is primarily targeted at the public sector. These actions may include:

- comprehensive and updated trade reviews of developing countries or regions, covering their main trade policy features, institutional environment, trade performance and the positioning of trade within their development strategy;

- assistance in developing trade-related legislation and carrying out regulatory reforms, including in the areas of services, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), customs and investment;

- support for the creation of effective trade-related domestic institutions with trained staff and an enforcement capacity;

- projects involving training and capacity-building actions aimed at developing country officials and operators, mainly in the field of customs administration and trade facilitation, including Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures.

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. These actions may include:

- trade promotion strategy design and implementation;

- market analysis and development;

- business support services and institutions;

- public-private sector networking;

- e-commerce;

- improved access to trade finance;

- running a help desk to provide developing countries' industry with information on access to EU markets and to facilitate efforts by such industry to take advantage of market-access opportunities offered by the international trading system.

Trade adjustment

Actions to enhance developing countries' ability to mitigate the adjustment costs of trade liberalisation, including trade-related macroeconomic and fiscal adjustment processes. These actions may include:

- compensation mechanisms to address preference erosion;

- reform of the tax system to help compensate governments for loss of tariff revenue.

Trade-related physical infrastructure

Actions to support the building of infrastructure which is directly related to the trade development of a country. These actions may include:

- port and airport development;

- roads linking export industries to harbours and airports.

In order to maintain support for domestic efforts to mainstream trade in national plans for economic development and strategies for poverty reduction, most of the actions covered by this line will be implemented within the framework of the EU Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) and Regional Strategy Papers (RSPs).

A small proportion of the actions covered by this heading will be implemented through multilateral initiatives. These involve a number of contributions to activities with a global scope such as the Integrated Framework on Trade Related Assistance and the WTO Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund. As from 2007, a specific thematic programme on trade should be established to meet the need for increased funding of activities that cannot be funded through CSPs and/or RSPs.

Legal basis

Trade-related assistance is currently based on external assistance regulations, in particular:

- Council Regulation (EEC) No 443/92 of 25 February 1992 on financial and technical assistance to, and economic cooperation with, the developing countries in Asia and Latin America (OJ L 52, 27.2.1992, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2112/2005 (OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 23);

TITLE 21

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

Overall objectives

The policy area covers a wide range of activities from political relations and policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation programmes. It includes both budgetary appropriations under Heading 4 of the financial perspective and funds under the various European Development Funds (EDF) for the African, Caribbean and Pacific States as well as the overseas countries and territories.

The amount of the EDF varies from year to year due to the five-year implementation cycle, and corresponds to a yearly average of approximately EUR 2950 million in commitment appropriations. This is equivalent to about 55 % of total appropriations under Heading 4.

This implies that significant human resources, which are employed to implement the EDF and the complex operations under the Cotonou Agreement, are to be taken into account in the overall human resources requirements in this policy area.

Remarks

In accordance with the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and South Africa, and with Regulation (EC) No 1726/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council, 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.

Programmes shall focus on the fight against poverty, take 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:

- support for policies, instruments and programmes aiming at the continued integration of the South African economy into the world economy and trade, for employment creation, development of the private sector, regional cooperation and integration. In this latter context, it may give rise to expenditure outside South Africa,

- the improvement of living conditions and delivery of basic social services,

- the support to democratisation, the protection of human rights, sound public management, the strengthening of local governments and involvement of civil society in the development process.

This appropriation also covers the protection and promotion of children’s rights and the integration of children’s rights into programming, including in the CSPs, NIPs and mid-term reviews in South Africa.

This appropriation is also intended to promote sustainable energy and information and communications technology.

Dialogue and partnership between public authorities and non-governmental development partners and actors will be promoted.

Any revenue from repayments in the context of cooperation with South Africa, entered in Item 6 1 7 0 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Action A: coordination

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

Coordination measures are essential in defining and shaping European development policy at a strategic and programming level. The specific nature of European development policy is directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 177 and 180 of the Amsterdam 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. It is inherent in the nature of coordination that an enlargement from 15 to 25 Member States should be reflected by a substantial increase in the funding allocated as of 2004.

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,

- the production of publications and dissemination of information.

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 to the Member States (EU-25) 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.

The appropriation also covers the introduction of a system which gives access to the public to follow via the Internet the progress of EU development aid from the decision on the budget to the implementation of the actual project in the developing country.

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

Legal basis

Tasks resulting from the Commission's prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) of the Financial Regulation.

Tasks resulting from specific powers directly conferred on the Commission pursuant to Article 180 of the Treaty establishing the European Community.

TITLE 22

ENLARGEMENT

Overall objectives

This policy area governs the actions, measures and initiatives necessary to ensure that candidate and potential countries stay on course to achieve the targets set with and for them by the European Council.

This will involve:

- bringing to a successful conclusion Bulgaria’s and Romania’s accession processes, monitoring their compliance with commitments taken upon closure of negotiations with a view to meeting the accession date of 2007,

- managing the increased financial support granted to Bulgaria and Romania under the Phare programme aimed at helping them meet the structural, institutional, administrative and judicial requirements of EU membership,

- implementing the three-pillar strategy adopted by the Council concerning the next stages of Turkey’s accession process, including successfully conducting accession negotiations,

- implementing the increase in pre-accession financial assistance for Turkey agreed by the Copenhagen European Council of December 2002,

- successfully conducting accession negotiations with Croatia with the ultimate goal of membership,

- following up on the Council decision on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia’s application for membership,

- anchoring the other Western Balkan countries on the European track, notably supporting their reforms and preparations or future membership and furthering the stabilisation and association process.

- supporting the reunification process of Cyprus, implementing and monitoring trade and financial support to that aim.

As far as the 10 new Member States are concerned, the Commission will still be phasing out major enlargement-related tasks and initiatives, and in particular managing the transition facility for institution-building in the new Member States.

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 the Act of Accession, all implementing agencies in the 10 new Member States that joined the EU in 2004 now operate under the extended decentralised implementation system (EDIS).

However a number of inalienable tasks relating to the completion of pre-accession programmes have been repatriated to headquarters from phased out delegations/representations. These concern notably project follow-up in the context of both monitoring of outcomes and financial management, including payment requests, as well as the follow-up to corrective actions taken upon recommendations from EDIS audits and the implementation and follow-up to post-accession transitional financial aid. Modifications to 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 pre-accession assistance programmes in the new Member States, namely:

- expenditure on temporary support staff (contract staff, auxiliaries, detached national experts, staff from employment agencies) at headquarters intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on delegations; expenditure on temporary support staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 1600000 and this estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which 97 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 3 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, IT and telecommunications relating to those staff members,

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

Remarks

The European Union pursues a policy of cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe which is part of a European Union pre-accession strategy towards these countries.

During the period 1990 to 1994, this appropriation was intended to assist the countries of central and eastern Europe in their transition to a market economy and democracy.

Following the Essen European Council ( 9 and 10 December 1994), the role of the Phare programme has gradually evolved into that of an instrument of support to the applicant countries in their bid for accession.

As a result of the stepping-up of the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Agenda 2000, Phare operations are now geared to two main priorities:

- institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of:

- the approximation of legislation,

- structural reforms and regional policies,

- promoting democracy, social dialogue, gender equality and equal opportunities, civil society and active cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs,

- opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,

- investment-financing, notably in order to help the candidate States comply with Community legislative standards and adopt the acquis communautaire in the area of economic and social cohesion.

With the accession of eight Phare countries to the Union in 2004, this appropriation is intended to cover Phare pre-accession assistance to the other countries still in negotiation.

Assistance under the programme focuses mainly on the priorities identified under the accession partnerships and will take account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquiscommunautaire.

Approximately 30 % of the Phare budget is thus earmarked for the first priority, institution-building, and some 70 % for infrastructure-financing. These figures are for indicative purposes only and may vary according to the particular circumstances of the beneficiary State concerned, in particular as regards its requirements and absorption capacity.

Part of this appropriation is intended for the financing of measures for developing and preparing partnerships, i.e. business contact fairs, between companies in the Member States and in the candidate countries.

Agenda 2000 and the conclusions of various European Councils have underlined the importance of a high level of nuclear safety in the candidate countries. The action taken under Phare is intended to support the candidate countries in their efforts to ensure the required high level, notably with regard to the recommendations of the Council's Atomic Questions Group. Measures taken in the area of nuclear security are also intended to cover the financing of technical and legal assistance necessary for the evaluation of the safety, environmental, economic and financial aspects of the projects for which financing in the form of a Euratom loan has been requested (including studies by the European Investment Bank); the measures are also intended to enable loan contracts to be finalised and carried out. The Commission will provide the budgetary authority with itemised information on the costs of this technical and legal assistance.

In accordance with the sole Article of Decision 94/179/Euratom, any proceeds from undertakings in receipt of a loan under that Decision, which are entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the involvement of associated countries in central and eastern Europe in Community programmes.

All the measures shall be subject to gender mainstreaming. Furthermore, an appropriate, yet nonetheless substantial, portion of the Phare budget, to be used exclusively for projects aimed at women, will be earmarked for this purpose.

Remarks

The European Union pursues a policy of cooperation with the countries of central and eastern Europe which is part of a European Union pre-accession strategy towards these countries.

During the period 1990 to 1994, this appropriation was intended to assist the countries of central and eastern Europe in their transition to a market economy and democracy.

As a result of the stepping-up of the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Agenda 2000, Phare operations are now geared to two main priorities:

- institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of:

- the approximation of legislation,

- structural reforms and regional policies,

- promoting democracy, social dialogue, gender equality and equal opportunities, civil society and active cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs,

- opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,

- investment-financing, notably in order to help the candidate States comply with Community legislative standards and adopt the acquis communautaire in the area of economic and social cohesion.

With the accession of eight Phare countries to the Union in 2004, this appropriation is intended to cover Phare pre-accession assistance to the other countries still in negotiation.

Assistance under the programme focuses mainly on the priorities identified under the accession partnerships and will take account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquiscommunautaire.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the involvement of associated countries in central and eastern Europe in Community programmes.

Remarks

Phare cross-border cooperation (CBC) will continue to be implemented at the Romanian borders with Bulgaria and Hungary (combined with Interreg appropriations on the Hungarian side) and at the Bulgarian borders with Romania and Greece (combined with Interreg appropriations on the Greek side).

However, as a result of the geographical extension of Phare CBC to cover all external borders of Romania and Bulgaria, as of 2004, supplementary Phare CBC funds are allocated to the Romanian borders with Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia and Montenegro and to the Bulgarian borders with Serbia and Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. At those borders, the Neighbourhood Programme approach will be applied, as provided by the Commission’s communication, "Paving the way for a new Neighbourhood instrument" (COM(2003) 393 final, July 2003). In this framework, Phare CBC allocations shall be combined with Tacis and CARDS funds at relevant borders.

Supplementary Phare CBC funds, as of 2004, are also allocated to the Bulgarian border with Turkey where cross-border cooperation will be implemented in combination with Turkey pre-accession funds.

As of 2005, since Croatia has become a candidate country, Phare CBC will also be implemented at Croatian borders with Slovenia, Hungary and Italy (maritime border) and potentially also with other neighbouring countries.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of various operations under the specific pre-accession strategy decided for Turkey further to the conclusions of the Helsinki European Council of December 1999. Operations under the programme will be geared to two main priorities:

- institution-building to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of:

- the approximation of legislation,

- structural reforms and regional policies,

- promoting democracy, social dialogue and civil society and active cooperation in the fields of justice and home affairs,

- opening up Community programmes, including in the field of social inclusion,

- investment-financing, notably in order to help Turkey comply with Community legislative standards and adopt the "acquis communautaire" in the area of economic and social cohesion.

Assistance under the programme will focus mainly on the priorities identified under the Accession Partnership for Turkey and will take account of the progress achieved towards adoption of the acquis communautaire, and in particular:

- participation in certain targeted projects, in particular to boost administrative and judicial capacity and projects in the field of justice,

- participation in certain Community programmes and agencies,

- cross-border cooperation,

- use of technical assistance provided by TAIEX (Technical Assistance Information Exchange Office),

- training, information and education measures to promote civil society and enhance the human dimension in Turkey.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to improve the situation of women 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.

Approximately 30 % of the budget is thus earmarked for the first priority, institution-building, and some 70 % for infrastructure-financing. These figures are for indicative purposes only and may vary according to the particular circumstances of the sector concerned.

All the measures should be subject to gender mainstreaming.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover preparatory actions to support regions and economic sectors which are particularly affected by the social or economic costs likely to be generated by the enlargement process. Regions and economic sectors will be supported in preparing to cope with the social and economic changes which are to be expected in relation to enlargement. The preparatory actions are set up with a view to minimising the possible adverse effects and putting forward a programme for those economic sectors and geographical areas on which enlargement is likely to have the most impact, in particular, the most affected border regions.

These preparatory actions are intended, inter alia, to fund measures for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Community in order to improve their capacity to react to the opportunities and challenges resulting from the enlargement process to include the candidate countries. The appropriations will be directed to SMEs, associations of SMEs or regional and local bodies to support, inter alia, measures to improve contacts and prepare cooperation, joint ventures and collaborative links with SMEs of the candidate countries, measures to improve the competitiveness of SMEs in border regions, and measures to improve the trade relations between SMEs in the current Member States and those in the candidate countries and, subsequently, the new Member States, facilitating the flow of goods and services in both directions.

Measures to support will also concern:

- provision of information focusing on the economic and social aspects of enlargement to collaborative link-ups and SMEs,

- collaboration and pooling of experience between regional and local authority administrations.

These actions are intended to complement the measures financed under Council Decision 2000/819/EC of 20 December 2000 on a multiannual programme for enterprise and entrepreneurship, and in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (2001 to 2005) (OJ L 333, 29.12.2000, p. 84).

This appropriation is also intended to finance actions involving consumer organisations or entities (such as national administrations, judicial authorities, etc.) in the candidate countries with a view to promoting consumer health, safety and protection as generally provided in Decision No 283/1999/EC.

It is also intended to finance measures in favour of young people in the regions bordering the candidate countries, such as support for transnational mobility, information and communication technologies in the area of youth, development of cooperation networks, promotion of language skills and understanding of different cultures.

Other projects planned are to be carried out by various kinds of organisations and local and regional bodies, in order to facilitate the free movement of persons after the accession of new Member States. Projects will, inter alia, concentrate on:

- analysis of the quantitative aspects of expected migration and on the resulting challenges for local or regional economies and labour markets,

- measures to prepare for the administrative and economic effects of increased migration, which may include contacts between representatives of government departments and the business world in the Member States and candidate countries,

- information for specifically affected organisations and groups on the expected effects of EU enlargement for migration and, in particular, the positive effects of free movement of persons on the economy and culture.

This action is not directed towards the general public.

Preference will be given to funding projects which are situated in the land and sea border regions bordering the candidate countries or which include partners from the candidate countries. In connection with all the projects and measures funded under this article, disabled persons must be afforded unrestricted access. The measures take into account the Commission communication of 25 July 2001 on the impact of enlargement on regions bordering candidate countries — Community action for border regions (COM(2001) 437 final).

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of pre-accession multi-country and horizontal programmes for all candidate countries, audit and evaluation as well as information and communication programmes. It will allow Turkey to participate in common assistance activities as it becomes increasingly integrated into the pre-accession process. In particular, the appropriation is destined to fund common programmes such as the "IFI facilities", i. e. institution-building assistance targeting financial institutions in order to raise their capacity to lend to small and medium-sized enterprises or municipal authorities, programmes supporting civil society organisations; or programmes to improve the administrative capacity of national statistical offices.

Remarks

The Commission proposed, in its strategy paper of 9 October 2002 (COM(2002) 700 final), to create a transition facility for certain institution-building actions over the period 2004 to 2006. 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 orientation of 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 small adaptations.

Article 34 of Title I, part 4, of the Act of Accession provides the legal basis for the establishment of the transition facility. Paragraph 3 refers to the procedure under the Phare Regulation for seeking Member States’ opinions on programmes. Paragraph 4 refers to the Financial Regulation as applicable to internal policies for implementation.

The purpose of the transition facility is to continue to provide assistance to the new Member States in areas where their administrative and institutional capacity is still not able to deliver on a par with present 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 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 public administration according to needs identified in the Commission’s comprehensive monitoring report which are not covered by the Structural Funds.

The issues to be addressed by the transition facility will primarily be 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 is assigned to multi-beneficiary programmes, audit and evaluation actions being herein included. The remainder is distributed between the new Member States.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication measures on enlargement, audit and evaluation actions being herein included.

The amount of the proposed appropriations reflects the campaign’s priorities under the enlargement timetable. While 2004 was a transition year, with a focus on central communication policies, reflecting the transformation of Delegations to Representations in the 10 new Member States, since 2005 the aim of the policies is to raise public awareness across Europe about the enlargement of the Union, but especially in those target countries where the public opinion is more sensitive to the next steps of enlargement.

The credits allocated 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 EU and that of candidate and pre-accession countries through calls for proposals and framework contracts; informing journalists on the enlargement process; opinion polls; developing and updating dedicated websites; preparing written and audiovisual material; organising conferences and seminars; evaluating the information programme.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(2) 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).

TITLE 23

HUMANITARIAN AID

Overall objectives

The aim of this policy area is to provide relief to the victims of humanitarian disasters worldwide, and in doing so:

- grant assistance strictly in accordance with identified humanitarian needs,

- focus more directly on "forgotten" crises not covered by other donors,

- ensure a more balanced per-beneficiary allocation of funds that takes into account the different levels of complexity of operations, the objective needs that result from the geographic location, and the nature of specific crises,

- give specific attention to unstable post-crisis situations where other (national) donors may be reluctant to become involved,

- strive for maximum complementarity and coherence with other key players’ priorities,

- ensure that horizontal issues (gender, human rights and disability) will be systematically mainstreamed into operations.

Remarks

In respect of terminology and linguistic databases, translation tools and documentary and library expenditure for the Translation service, this appropriation is intended to cover:

- expenditure on the acquisition, development and adaptation of software, translation tools and other multilingual tools or aids to translation and the acquisition, consolidation and extension of the contents of linguistic and terminological databases, translation memories and automatic translation dictionaries, particularly with a view to the more efficient treatment of multilingualism and enhanced inter-institutional cooperation,

- documentation and library expenditure to meet the needs of translators, in particular:

- the purchase of works (studies, dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopaedias, yearbooks and series) and updates on paper and in electronic form,

- subscriptions in general (periodicals, journals, etc.) on paper and in electronic form,

- costs of preserving works (purchase of special files, binding costs, etc.).

It covers expenditure incurred within the territory of the Community, excluding Joint Research Centre sites (for which expenditure is entered in Article 01 05 of the titles concerned).

The amount of assigned revenue pursuant to Article 18(1)(e) and (g) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 350000.

As regards services performed by the Commission (medium and long-term translation) on behalf of the Publications Office, under the agreement that entered into force on 1 January 1973 the Commission undertook to place at the disposal of the Office the translation staff required to perform all work requested by the Office to meet its own requirements or those of the Community institutions. This work will be carried out by the translators employed in Luxembourg, as shown in the Commission's establishment plan. Where necessary, freelance translators may also be used on a temporary basis. The number of translation staff attached to the Publications Office in 2004 for purposes of performing medium- and long-term translation was 18 category LA staff and nine category C staff. (The corresponding appropriations are entered in Article 01).

As regards the Translation Centre for the bodies of the European Union, its budgetary resources consist of financial contributions from the agencies for which it works and the institutions and bodies with which it cooperates, without prejudice to other revenue.

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 agencies’ budget, 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 the European Parliament, the Commission and the agencies.

The part of this appropriation for the Translation Centre is intended to cover the costs of organising interinstitutional cooperation between the translation departments through the Centre, as stated in Council Regulation (EC) No 1645/2003 (OJ L 245, 29.9.2003, p. 13) amending Regulation (EC) No 2610/95 (OJ L 268, 10.11.1995, p. 1) and organisational duties with no direct connection with the translation services provided to the bodies of the European Union.

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 European 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 the tasks described in the Financial Regulation and, in line with the Financial Regulation, are carried out in conformity with the relevant international standards, i.e. the standards of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

Remarks

In the light of the conclusions of the Edinburgh European Council of 11 and 12 December 1992 and the Berlin European Council of 24 and 25 March 1999, the institutions have decided to enter an emergency aid reserve in the budget.

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with subparagraph 23(c) of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 is to provide a rapid response to ad hoc aid requirements in the light of events which could not have been foreseen when the budget was drawn up, with priority for humanitarian operations.

When the Commission sees a need to call on this reserve, it will initiate a trialogue procedure, if necessary in a simplified form, as soon as possible with a view to securing the agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need for recourse to the reserve and on the sum required. The appropriations will be transferred to the budget headings concerned.

Appropriations 2006 | Appropriations 2005 | Outturn 2004 |

450000 | | |

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.
