Remarks

Any delay by a MemberState in making the entry in the account opened in the name of the Commission referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 gives rise to the payment of interest by the MemberState concerned.

In the case of Member States whose currency is the euro, the interest rate shall be equal to the rate as published in the Official Journal of the European Union, C series, which the European Central Bank applied to its refinancing operations, on the first day of the month in which the due date fell, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

In the case of Member States whose currency is not the euro, the rate shall be equal to the rate applied on the first day of the month in question by the Central Banks for their main refinancing operations, increased by two percentage points, or, for the Member States for which the Central Bank rate is not available, the most equivalent rate applied on the first day of the month in question on the Member State's money market, increased by two percentage points. This rate shall be increased by 0,25 of a percentage point for each month of delay. The increased rate shall be applied to the entire period of delay.

The interest rate applies to all entries of own resources enumerated under Article 10 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

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. Union action generally complements that of the International Monetary Fund, coordinated with other bilateral donors.

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

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

Remarks

The action taken by the Union pursuant to Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union shall be designed to strengthen the economic and social cohesion of the enlarged Union in order to promote the harmonious, balanced and sustainable development of the Union. This action shall be taken with the aid of the cohesion policy funds, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and other existing financial instruments. It shall aim to reduce the economic, social and territorial disparities which have arisen, particularly in countries and regions whose development is lagging behind, in connection with the speeding-up of economic and social restructuring and population ageing.

The action taken under the cohesion policy funds shall incorporate, at national and regional level, the Union's priorities for sustainable development by strengthening growth, competitiveness, employment and social inclusion, as well as protecting and improving the quality of the environment.

The ‘Convergence’ objective shall be geared to speeding up the convergence of the least-developed Member States and regions by improving conditions for growth and employment through increasing and improving the quality of investment in physical and human capital, the development of innovation and of the knowledge society, adaptability to economic and social changes, protection and improvement of the environment, as well as administrative efficiency. This objective shall constitute the cohesion policy funds’ priority. The actions taken under the cohesion policy funds will respect equal opportunities for women and men.

Part of this appropriation is intended to support improvements in child care to enable children to live in a family-type setting. This support includes:

—	cooperation between and technical assistance to non-governmental organisations and local authorities, including assisting them in finding out which projects are eligible for Union funding,

—	identification and exchange of best practices as well as the broader application of these practices, including thorough monitoring at child level.

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

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used to address the problem of intra-regional disparities and provide specific assistance to people who live in disadvantaged territorial units that constitute pockets of poverty in European regions. This assistance should focus mainly on:

—	integrating communities living in pockets of poverty into the mainstream regional population via civic education, promoting tolerance and cultural understanding,

—	strengthening local authorities with regard to needs assessment, project planning and project implementation,

—	reducing intra-regional economic and social disparities via a temporary set of affirmative actions, focusing on employment and education.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to provide temporary and targeted support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation where these redundancies have a significant adverse impact on the regional or local economy. For applications submitted before 31 December 2011, it may also be used to provide support to workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.

The maximum amount of expenditure from the Fund shall be EUR 500 000 000 per year.

The aim of this reserve, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006, is to provide additional temporary support for workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

The actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund, without creating double structures.

The rules for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the Fund are laid down in point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 and in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover technical assistance measures as provided for by Article 66(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 and in particular the European Network for Rural Development.

Part of this appropriation is intended to steadily expand the European Rural Solidarity Network, which has been in operation for two years now.

Aim: to create a European area of solidarity, prevention and research

—	Phase 1: consolidating the current solidarity network.

—

Phase 2: expanding the network to offer other European countries the benefits of its expertise in taking preventive action to safeguard agricultural employment and maintain the economic vitality of rural areas. There is an urgent need to share and standardise the comprehensive support schemes already in use and to exchange views on exactly what being ‘in difficulty’ means, with a view to detecting people who are in this situation, using common criteria referred to as ‘alarm signals’. These prevention tools will help newly established support groups to address the problems faced in rural areas more effectively.

Action to be taken: dissemination of prevention tools

The following tools need to be disseminated as widely as possible among European farmers:

—

‘alarm signals’: the basic preventive self-assessment tool to be used by farmers to assess the difficulties they face. This tool will enable farmers to determine exactly how bad their situation is, so that they can seek the assistance of agencies able to help them out of their difficulties at the earliest possible stage,

—

‘simplified management tool’: this financial self-assessment tool will enable farmers to assess the financial situation of their farms and to anticipate difficulties, determine how much scope they have for investment or diversification and keep to a pre-established recovery plan. Training in the use of the simplified management tool will be provided by the individual support groups at national level. The training will be targeted at people looking after and supporting farmers in difficulty.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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 Union's strategy on research, technological development and demonstration (RTD).

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

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

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

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

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

In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in Decision No 1982/2006/EC, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME specific programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Remarks

The actions carried out in the area of health are intended to improve the health of the European public and boost the competitiveness of industries and companies linked to the health sector in Europe, while at the same time addressing world health problems, including new epidemics. The emphasis will be on translational research (transposing basic findings into clinical applications), developing and validating new treatments, identifying ways of promoting health and preventing illness, diagnostic tools and technologies for making diagnoses, as well as sustainable and effective healthcare systems. Special attention will be given to communicating research findings and to the initiation of a dialogue with civil society, in particular patient groups, at as early a stage as possible in new developments produced by biomedical and genetics research.

Funding may be given to clinical research on many diseases, for instance HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, diabetes and other chronic diseases (e.g. arthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculo-skeletal diseases, as well as respiratory diseases), or rare diseases.

An increased share of funding should go to research on diseases related to ageing.

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

The actions carried out in this area are intended to help reach the critical mass of capacities needed to develop and exploit, in particular with a view to eco-efficiency and reducing the discharge of dangerous substances into the environment, state-of-the-art technologies which are the basis for products, services and manufacturing procedures in years to come, based mainly on knowledge and intelligence.

Sufficient appropriations must be provided for nano research in connection with environmental and health risk assessment, since only 5 to 10 % of global nano research is devoted to this today.

Sufficient budgetary appropriations must be provided for activities promoting research and the emergence of resource-efficiency processes and practices including eco-design, reusability, recyclability and research into substitution of hazardous or critical substances.

Expenditure on meetings, conferences, workshops and high-level scientific or technological seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of studies, grants, monitoring and assessment of specific programmes, funding the IMS secretariat, high-level scientific or technological assessments and evaluations, as well as actions carried out under the previous framework programmes will also be charged.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

Remarks

The objective of the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) and the ‘Information and Communication Technologies’ theme of the specific ‘Cooperation’ programme is to improve the competitiveness of European industry and to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments in ICTs in accordance with a long-term European ICT strategy so that the demands of its society and economy are met and European standards help shape the global ICT developments rather than being overtaken by other growing global markets.

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

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

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

Activities cover collaboration and exchange of best practices with a view to setting common standards for the Union that are compatible with, or set, a global standard, networking actions and national programme coordination initiatives. This appropriation is also intended to cover the costs of independent experts assisting in proposal evaluations and project reviews, the costs of events, meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, analyses and evaluations, the costs of monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes and the costs of measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes.

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

Part of these appropriations is intended to foster common approaches to key global challenges, such as an ICT strategy that is not only able to compete with rapidly emerging ICT markets (e.g. in Asia), but that can also set standards for global ICT policy-making in the interest of European values, by pooling resources and fostering the exchange of best practices for the advancement of research, development and innovation in the field of ICT. Measures will aim at improving the efficacy of actions by the international community and will be complementary to existing mechanisms and successful working relationships. The appropriations will be used to fund innovative ventures between European and third countries. The scope of such ventures will go beyond what could be undertaken by a single country and will benefit both the Union and its partners in preparing their leading role for setting future ICT standards. In implementing this action, the Commission will ensure a balanced distribution of subsidies. It will help actors at a global level to engage in research partnerships in order to foster innovation in the field of ICT.

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with Article 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 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.

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

Remarks

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

—	Comenius: for general education activities concerning schools up to and including upper-secondary level,

—	Erasmus: for education and advanced training activities at higher education level, increase in the number of scholarships and funding for them under the Erasmus programmes,

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

—	Grundtvig: for adult education,

—	Jean Monnet: projects stimulating teaching, research and debate on the European integration process at higher education institutions and operating grants to certain key institutions and associations,

—	a cross-cutting programme: incorporating four key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language learning and activity related to information and communication technologies where these fall outside the specific programmes, and to provide a better dissemination service.

Special education needs for persons suffering from disabilities or ‘dys’ conditions can be addressed in all the abovementioned sectoral programmes.

Part of this appropriation is intended to cover, inter alia, supplementary expenditures relating to the activities of the European University Institute (EUI) in accordance with Article 36(2)(b) of Decision No 1720/2006/EC. A complementary contribution should be allocated to the Global Governance programme. This increase will improve and broaden the PhD training with respect to global governance and world affairs at the EUI; further develop the European Academy of Global Governance devoted to top-level training, discussion and debates; enlarge the community of junior and senior post-doctoral fellows specialised in these areas; attract a significant number of senior scholars to the EUI from the faculties of other Member States’ universities and research centres, and from international institutions; continue development of the different strands of basic and applied research on issues of global governance; promote and support a variety of events, conferences and seminars on issues of global governance, and create a European network of Global Governance. This represents an extension and enhancement of an action already covered in the general budget for the year 2010.

In addition, part of this appropriation is intended to finance a Young Innovators Mobility (YIM) action. It is generally recognised that professional mobility is essential to the development of a versatile workforce, to a sense of European citizenship, and to reinforcing Europe's competitiveness. Innovative ideas should not stop at national borders, they should grow through cross-fertilisation, testing and validation within the widest European pool of talent, facilities, infrastructure and financing. Just as European students benefit from the mobility experience of the Erasmus programme, young researchers from the Marie Curie actions, and young entrepreneurs from Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, young innovators too deserve the opportunity for cross-border mobility to the benefit of innovation in Europe. Existing mobility programmes do not match the scope covered by the YIM, which focuses on the Innovation process of developing new early-stage ideas into demonstrators. For instance, this project differentiates itself from Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs which is mainly a business exchange programme focussed on the post-innovation stage, enabling new entrepreneurs to learn or improve their business-related skills. By combining the benefits of mobility, the need to narrow the innovation gap and the need to change the mindset to promote innovation, the proposal for a YIM constitutes a concrete step towards the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth and jobs and the ‘Innovation Union’ as well as ‘Youth on the Move’ flagship initiatives in particular. The YIM action aims to support a minimum of 100 young innovators. YIM would operate as a borderless mobility and innovation residency programme, enabling young (25 to 36 years old) and potential innovators (18 to 24 years old) to work on their own early-stage idea as a ‘young innovator in residence’ at a host organisation which could be a large or small company, start-up, laboratory, university, institute, government agency or NGO.

Part of these appropriations should go to improved educational models for tackling early school leaving. The Europe 2020 Strategy aims to address the issue of early school leaving by setting it as one of the headline targets for Member States to follow so as to reduce the average rate of early school leavers to no more than 10 %. Within this framework, Member States are also encouraged to exchange best practices in order to solve this issue at national and European level. This matter links closely with another objective of the Europe 2020 Strategy which places improving the quality of education in all Member States at the heart of the Union's journey towards creating a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.

For this reason, European partnerships should be set up and best practices exchanged in the area of early school leaving with the main objectives of:

—	impacting directly upon the early school leaving rate by identifying and targeting children from disadvantaged social and economic backgrounds from a very early stage in their education,

—	by exchanging best practices and, using different educational models, offering children that are most likely to be affected by this phenomenon, the necessary incentives to stay in school,

—	providing a platform for teachers and school administrators to share ideas and experiences with the goal of developing improved policies and stimulating new innovative education practices,

—	supporting children from an ethnic minorities background (including Roma) throughout their early education years so as to prevent school drop-outs later on,

—	improving the educational outcomes and increase performance in both the less performing and better performing countries within the Union, since it is anticipated that all participants stand to gain considerably from this process of cooperation.

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

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

Remarks

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

The added value of the support provided by the specific ‘People’ programme is the promotion of the international and intersectoral mobility of researchers as a key driver for European Innovation. Marie Curie Actions also foster stronger cooperation between education, research and businesses from different countries in the training and career development of researchers to broaden their skills and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. A closer partnership between education and businesses should be further reinforced in order to increase knowledge transfers and enhance PhD training adapted to the needs of industry. By promoting employment conditions in line with the European researcher's charter and code, they contribute to making a career in research in Europe more attractive.

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

This appropriation will also cover expenditure corresponding to revenue giving rise to the making available of additional appropriations from (non-European Economic Area) third parties or third countries participating in projects in the field of research and technological development.

In addition, part of this appropriation is intended to finance a Young Innovators Mobility (YIM) action. It is generally recognised that professional mobility is essential to the development of a versatile workforce, to a sense of European citizenship, and to reinforcing Europe's competitiveness. Innovative ideas should not stop at national borders, they should grow through cross-fertilisation, testing and validation within the widest European pool of talent, facilities, infrastructure and financing. Just as European students benefit from the mobility experience of the Erasmus programme, young researchers from the Marie Curie actions, and young entrepreneurs from Erasmus for Entrepreneurs, young innovators too deserve the opportunity of cross-border mobility to the benefit of innovation in Europe.

Remarks

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

Remarks

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

Remarks

This appropriation will provide support for MemberState measures to improve the management of return in all its dimensions while respecting fundamental rights through the use of the concept of integrated management, taking account of Union legislation in this field, in the following areas:

—	the introduction and improvement of the organisation and implementation of integrated return management by Member States,

—	the enhancement of the cooperation between Member States in the framework of integrated return management and its implementation,

—	the promotion of an effective and uniform application of common standards on return according to the policy development in the field, with priority for voluntary return schemes,

—	the organisation of information campaigns in countries of origin and of transit for prospective displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers. These campaigns can take place in the framework of better cooperation with third countries that combat irregular migration and promote legal migration.

At the Commission's initiative, this appropriation is also intended to cover transnational actions or actions of interest to the Union as a whole (Union actions) concerning return policy. Studies to determine the existence of and evaluate mechanisms to support reintegration in selected third countries and examine the patterns of social and professional reintegration in the most relevant countries of origin, specifically in immediate eastern and southern neighbourhoods, are also covered.

This appropriation is also intended to finance a Union action to compile data for collaboration and exchange of best practices among childcare workers in closed detention centres for asylum seekers and immigrants.

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

—

expenditure on external staff at headquarters (contract agents, seconded national experts or agency staff) intended to take over the tasks previously conferred on dismantled technical assistance offices. Expenditure on external staff at headquarters is limited to EUR 5 233 566. This estimate is based on a provisional annual unit cost per man-year, of which 93 % is accounted for by remuneration for the staff concerned and 7 % by the additional cost of training, meetings, missions, information technology (IT) and telecommunications relating to those staff members,

—

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

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

This appropriation covers administrative expenditure under Chapter 19 08.

Remarks

As part of the rationalisation and simplification of the instruments for external actions for the Financial Framework 2007-2013, the Aeneas programme, which provides for financial and technical assistance to third countries in the areas of migration and asylum, and was adopted on 10 March 2004 — and which followed the preparatory actions for 2001 to 2003 and the Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 3 December 2002 entitled ‘Integrating migration issues in the European Union's relations with third countries’ (COM(2002) 703 final) — was replaced by a thematic programme for cooperation with third countries in these fields under the financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI) (Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006).

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

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

This Union cooperation programme will finance appropriate actions which will join in a coherent way national and regional Union cooperation and development strategies regarding the third 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 Union instruments in the field of cooperation and development.

This thematic programme will, in the context of its new strategy, also take into account migration that results from climate change. The respect of democratic principles and the rule of law, as well as of human rights and of fundamental freedoms, will constitute an essential element for the application of this instrument. If necessary, and as far as possible, the actions financed will be associated with measures aimed at strengthening democracy and the rule of law and compliance with international instruments in this field, including the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the status of refugees.

Partners eligible for financial support under this appropriation may include regional and international organisations and agencies (in particular, United Nations agencies), non-governmental organisations 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.

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

Remarks

The Union aims to establish an area of prosperity and friendly neighbourliness involving MemberStates and the neighbouring partner countries (2). To that effect the Union has established agreements with most neighbouring countries as well as European Neighbourhood Policy Action Plans to implement such agreements. This negotiated framework is aimed at developing a stronger and deeper relation based on shared values and mutual interest and involving a significant degree of economic integration and political cooperation. The Union has also engaged with Russia in a genuine strategic partnership, founded on common interests and shared values and based on the creation of four ‘common spaces’. The appropriations under this chapter are intended to cover cooperation measures aimed at supporting the implementation of such agreements. Cooperation with those countries with whom such agreements are not yet signed or do not exist — such as for Belarus, Libya or Syria — will be based on Union policy objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended in particular to finance cooperation actions aimed primarily at supporting the implementation of the agreements and the ENP Action Plans concluded with the Union's eastern neighbours as well as bilateral and multilateral actions in the framework of the Eastern Partnership. It will also be used to support the Strategic Partnership between the Union and Russia through implementation of the four common spaces covering economic cooperation; freedom, security and justice; external security; and research and education, including culture. This will entail, inter alia, the following areas of cooperation:

—	promoting political dialogue and democratic reform,

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

—	strengthening the national institutions responsible for the elaboration and implementation of policies in the areas covered by the association agreements for instance by twinning and technical assistance mechanisms such as TAIEX,

—	promoting respect for human rights such as freedom of the media and freedom of expression,

—	promoting good governance and the fight against corruption,

—	promoting gender equality,

—	supporting the transition to a market economy and the modernisation of the economy, promoting investments in the region and strengthening small- and medium-sized enterprises,

—	promoting sustainable development and rural development and contributing to poverty reduction,

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

—	promoting actions contributing to conflict resolution and conflict prevention in areas of frozen conflict,

—	fostering the development of civil society, inter alia, to promote social inclusion and encourage under-represented groups to gain a voice and participate in civil society and the political system,

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

—	supporting regional cooperation, including within the contexts of the ‘Black Sea Synergy’ and the Eastern Partnership,

—

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

This appropriation is also intended to fund research on human health and the sustainable development of Ukraine and Belarus, especially as regards improving health conditions in the regions affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

This appropriation is also intended to finance confidence building measures in frozen conflict areas in Georgia, Transnistria, the breakaway territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as local confidence-building and local economic rehabilitation projects in Nagorno-Karabakh.

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

Should there be a serious deterioration in a given country in the field of liberty, democracy, respect for fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, Union assistance may be scaled down and used primarily to support non-state actors for measures aimed at promoting human rights and fundamental freedoms. With the exception of humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs, the United Nations’ agencies or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible for a clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.

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

Part of this appropriation will be allocated for additional support to Baltic Sea Strategy objectives. The support, committed in 2010 and 2011, is being implemented through support to the Northern Dimension in the framework of Regional East and Interregional Indicative Programmes. Other frameworks for implementing support to the Baltic Sea may include, where appropriate, the Baltic Sea Region Programme, the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan, the BONUS-169 Joint Baltic Sea Research Programme, amongst others.

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

Remarks

Union assistance should not be given to any authority, organisation or programme which supports or participates in the management of an action which involves such human rights abuses as coercive abortion, involuntary sterilisation or infanticide, especially where such actions apply their priorities though psychological, social, economic or legal pressure, thus finally implementing the specific Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) prohibition on coercion or compulsion in sexual and reproductive health matters. The Commission should present a report on the implementation of the Union's external assistance covering this programme.

Remarks

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

Financial support is provided to actions in five priority areas: (1) working upstream on Millennium Development Goal 7: promoting environmental sustainability; (2) promoting implementation of Union initiatives and helping developing countries to meet internationally agreed commitments; (3) improving expertise for integration and coherence; (4) strengthening environmental governance and Union leadership; and (5) supporting sustainable energy options in partner countries and regions.

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

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

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

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Financing instrument for development cooperation (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope of EUR 63 000 000 is foreseen for such countries. This appropriation is also intended to cover the completion of payments for actions funded under the former Article 21 02 05 ‘Environment in Developing Countries’.

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

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

Where assistance is delivered via budget support, the Commission shall support efforts of partner countries to develop parliamentary oversight, audit capacities and transparency in line with Article 25(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. Appropriations under this article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations shall be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Millions of refugees around the world rely on direct Union and Union-sponsored aid in order to survive and build up a sustainable future. It is the Union's policy to ensure that refugees become self-reliant and are eventually able to leave the camp and start their lives again. In practice this self-reliance aim encounters various problems, one of them being that refugees need to travel in order to make a living outside of the camp and once they leave, they need to build up a new existence elsewhere. Decent lighting is crucial to facilitate this process. Traditional lighting in unelectrified areas is usually done with kerosene lights. People breathe toxic air, there is severe risk of burning accidents and kerosene lighting fuels are expensive. It makes people less mobile and consumes productive time when supplies need to be replenished. Supporting refugees in their self reliance will prevent them from returning to the refugee camp and asking for additional (financial) aid. Solar LED lights have a direct impact on expenditures (saving up to 20 % of their income) and they provide light all night long without any operational costs allowing people to work longer, study longer and to travel safely, thus improving their livelihoods. Various research projects have already determined the impact on school results and costs savings are evident. Distributed in the refugee camps, solar LED lights will decrease the reliance on diesel generators for electricity. Since the lights are mobile, they are expected to drastically increase the actual safety level and perceived safety in the camps. Solar LED lights will enhance livelihood and allow for safe, non-toxic light at night for various activities. With the action ‘Refugee self-reliance through sustainable lighting’ budget will be invested in sustainable futures for refugees as well as refugee camp safety and livelihood. If results are satisfactory according to predetermined success variables, Union institutions should take measures to add sustainable lighting to the basic necessities in refugee camps. For this action, light weight, durable and low-cost solar lamps can be used. There is already an efficient solar lamp in the low-cost price category allowing for 16 hours of reading light, 80 hours of safety night light on a single charge and 8 hours of very bright light. It is mobile, compact and has a long battery life, exceeding two years. For this action it is proposed to start with two large refugee camps in different geographical locations. After a baseline study of monthly expenditures, refugee return ratios, camp livelihood and camp safety, solar LED lights will be distributed to facilitate the entire camp. Previously measured variables will be monitored and after a significant amount of time, conclusions will be drawn in order to support further Union policies in this field. With EUR 600 000 approximately 75 000 lights can be distributed, which will be shared by camp inhabitants. This budget includes monitoring and reporting.

Remarks

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

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

This appropriation may not be made available to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Part of the appropriation will be provided for technical aid in recipient countries. This allocation will complement the financing role of the GFATM by ensuring that a coordinated and effective technical support mechanism is in place, resulting in effective implementation of Global Fund appropriations.

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the countries covered by the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI). However, in line with Article 38 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 allocating an amount to finance activities that benefit European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) countries under the thematic programmes, an envelope equivalent to 6 % of this programme over the period 2007-2013 is foreseen for such countries.

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

Appropriations under this title and within the second priority (improving reproductive and sexual health in developing countries) should specifically finance interventions in countries with critical indicators in maternal and reproductive health to reduce bottlenecks and promote good practices for the achievement of Millennium Development Goal 5 (‘Improve maternal health’) by 2015 and the advancement of the full implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action, notably by supporting capacity-building for the design and implementation of national maternal, reproductive health and family planning strategies within health systems strengthening.

Remarks

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

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

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

—

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remarks

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

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

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

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

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

—

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

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

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

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

—

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

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

Also charged to this article is expenditure on the purchase of data and access for Commission departments to outside databanks. In addition, funding should be used to develop new, modular techniques.

It is also intended to cover the provision of the necessary statistical information, at the request of the Commission or of the other institutions of the Union, for the assessment, monitoring and evaluation of the Union's expenditure. This will improve the implementation of financial and budgetary policy (drawing-up of the budget and periodic review of the financial perspective) and make it possible to compile medium and long-term data for the financing of the Union.

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

Any revenue from the Swiss Confederation's contribution for participation in Union programmes entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of gas and electricity infrastructure projects having the highest Union added value.

It should serve to adapt and develop energy networks of particular importance to the Union in support of the operation of the internal energy market and, in particular, to increase interconnection capacity, security and diversification of supply and to overcome environmental, technical and financial obstacles. Special Union support is necessary to develop energy networks more intensively and to accelerate their construction, notably where the diversity of routes and sources of supply is low.

This appropriation should also serve to promote connection and integration of renewable energy resources and to strengthen economic and social cohesion with less-favoured and island regions of the Union.

It is intended to cover the financing of the second step of the economic recovery plan as agreed between the two arms of the budgetary authority on 2 April 2009. Its financing is conditional on an agreement by the budgetary authority and should be made available as provided for in points 21, 22 and 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (OJ C 139, 14.6.2006, p. 1), without prejudice to the financial envelopes of the codecision programmes and the European Parliament’s priorities.

If the Commission's annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of the economic recovery plan identifies serious risks for implementing the priority projects, the Commission shall recommend measures to offset those risks, and shall where appropriate and consistent with the economic recovery plan, make additional proposals for the projects already referred to in Regulation (EC) No 663/2009.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 663/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a programme to aid economic recovery by granting Community financial assistance to projects in the field of energy (OJ L 200, 31.7.2009, p. 31).

Remarks

The assignment of customs duties as own resources to the financing of common expenditure is the logical consequence of the free movement of goods within the Union. This article may comprise levies, premiums, additional or compensatory amounts, additional amounts or factors, Common Customs Tariff duties and other duties established or to be established by the institutions of the European Union in respect of trade with third countries and customs duties on products under the expired Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

Figures are net of collection costs.

Remarks

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

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

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,7554 %.

Any corrections to the abovementioned statements resulting from Commission controls in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 or/and any changes to the GNI of previous financial years that have an effect on the capping of the ‘VAT’ base will lead to adjustments of the ‘VAT’ balances.
