A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed necessary for the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

—The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all revenue and expenditure of the Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.

—The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.

—The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year; borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.

—In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euros and the accounts shall be presented in euros.

—The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. Revenue and expenditure are entered in full in the budget without any adjustment against each other.

—The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to prevent any confusion between appropriations.

—The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

—The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts.

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 168 688 122 110 in commitment appropriations and EUR 153 566 205 917 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of + 1,50 % and of + 3,42 % respectively by comparison with the 2019 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 153 566 205 917. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Germany, Netherlands and Sweden for which the rate of call for the period 2014-2020 has been fixed at 0,15 %) whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6507 %. Traditional own resources account for 14,43 % of the financing of the budget for 2020. The VAT resource accounts for 12,34 % and the GNI resource for 71,98 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 928 450 061.

The own resources needed to finance the 2020 budget account for 0,89 % of the total GNI.

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2020 budget.

Remarks

The common organisation of the market in the sugar sector provided that sugar, isoglucose and inulin syrup producers had to pay basic and B production levies. These levies were intended to cover market support expenditure. At present amounts entered under this article are a consequence of the revision of past established levies. Levies for the marketing year 2007/2008 till the marketing year 2016/2017 are entered under Article 1 1 7 of this chapter as a ‘production charge’.

Figures are net of collection costs.

Legal basis

Remarks

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

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

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for financial 2020 year is 0,6507 %.

They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 608/2014.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget that must be presented by the Commission within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts.

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

Remarks

Under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Member States are to send the Commission a statement of the total amount of the VAT resources base for the previous calendar year before 31 July.

Each Member State is debited with an amount calculated on the basis of that statement in accordance with Union rules and credited with the 12 payments actually made during the previous financial year.

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.

The Commission shall inform the Member States of the amounts resulting from this calculation before 1 February of the year following that in which the data for the adjustments was supplied.

Remarks

Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark and Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), grant full exemption to these Member States from supporting the financial consequences of some specific policies in the area of freedom, security and justice, with the exception of the related administrative costs. They can therefore obtain an adjustment to the own resources paid for each year in which they do not participate.

Each Member State’s contribution to the adjustment mechanism is calculated by applying to the budget expenditure resulting from this operation or policy the scale of the aggregate gross national income and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003 of 15 July 2003 on the harmonisation of gross national income at market prices (OJ L 181, 19.7.2003, p. 1).

The Commission works out each Member State’s balance and informs it in time for that Member State to enter its balance in the account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 on the first working day of December, in accordance with Article 11 of that Regulation.

p.m.p.m.45 593 122,53

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel. Unused revenue and appropriations deriving from this revenue still available on 31 December in any given year, as well as amounts recovered, shall be carried over automatically to the following year. Those appropriations may not be transferred to other budget items.

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 Research Fund for Coal and Steel. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2018 will be used for research in 2020. 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 2020 is EUR 40 400 000.

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

In accordance with point (b) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 05 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

New article

This article is intended to record the Innovation Fund (IF) revenues generated by the auctioning of the allowances in accordance with Articles 10 and 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC for all implementation tasks carried out by the Commission in direct management subject to the final decision on the delegation of the Innovation Fund.

For budget year 2020, it is provisionally estimated that an amount between EUR 2,5 and 3,0 million will be needed in order to finance the contribution to the expenditure of INEA’s staff and administration incurred as a result of the Agency’s role in the management of the Innovation Fund financed from budget item 34 01 06 01.

This will allow the preparation of a first call for proposals in 2020, expected to be launched at the beginning of the second half of 2020, in the range of EUR 1,0-1,5 billion.

The necessary appropriations for this call would be generated by the revenue arising from the auctioning as of January 2020 of the first tranche of the 50 million emission allowances allocated to the Innovation Fund from the market stability reserve and by unspent amounts from the previous NER300 fund. Payments for selected projects from the first call are expected to be made from 2021 onwards.

Capital repayments and interest in respect of special loans and risk capital granted in the framework of financial cooperation with Mediterranean third countries

Financial year 2020Financial year 2019Financial year 2018
p.m.p.m.35 948 290,12

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean third countries.

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

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

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

Legal basis

p.m.p.m.45 593 122,53

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel. Unused revenue and appropriations deriving from this revenue still available on 31 December in any given year, as well as amounts recovered, shall be carried over automatically to the following year. Those appropriations may not be transferred to other budget items.

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 Research Fund for Coal and Steel. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2018 will be used for research in 2020. 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 2020 is EUR 40 400 000.

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

In accordance with point (b) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 05 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

This article is intended to record the Innovation Fund (IF) revenues generated by the auctioning of the allowances in accordance with Article 10 and Article 10a(8) of Directive 2003/87/EC for all implementation tasks carried out by the Commission in direct management subject to the final decision on the delegation of the Innovation Fund.

For budget year 2020, it is provisionally estimated that an amount between EUR 2,5 and 3,0 million will be needed in order to finance the contribution to the expenditure of Innovation and Networks Executive Agency’s staff and administration incurred as a result of the Agency’s role in the management of the Innovation Fund financed from budget item 34 01 06 01.

This will allow the preparation of a first call for proposals in 2020, expected to be launched at the beginning of the second half of 2020, in the range of EUR 1,0-1,5 billion.

The necessary appropriations would be generated by the revenue arising from the auctioning as of January 2020 of the first tranche of the 50 million emission allowances allocated to the Innovation Fund from the market stability reserve and by unspent amounts from the previous NER300 fund. Payments for selected projects from the first call are expected to be made from 2021 onwards.

Capital repayments and interest in respect of special loans and risk capital granted in the framework of financial cooperation with Mediterranean third countries

Financial year 2020Financial year 2019Financial year 2018
p.m.p.m.35 948 290,12

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

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

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

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

Legal basis

For the legal basis, see remarks for Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of carrying out the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys in the Member States and candidate countries. The programme was initiated by a Commission decision in November 1961 and was modified by subsequent Council and Commission decisions. It was last approved by Commission Decision C(97) 2241 of 15 July 1997 and presented in the Commission communication on 12 July 2006 (COM(2006) 379 final, OJ C 245, 12.10.2006, p. 5).

This appropriation is also intended to cover the cost of studies, workshops, conferences, analyses, evaluations, publications, technical assistance, the purchase and maintenance of databases; software; equipment and the part-financing and support of measures relating to:

—fiscal policy including monitoring of fiscal positions,

—assessment of transposition and application by the Member States of the Union fiscal governance framework supporting the functioning of the economic and monetary union (EMU),

—economic monitoring, macro and micro-based analysis of the combination of measures and coordination of economic policies,

—the external aspects of the EMU,

—macroeconomic developments in the euro area,

—monitoring structural reforms and improving the operation of markets in the EMU and in the Union,

—coordination with financial institutions and analysis and development of financial markets, and borrowing and lending operations involving Member States,

—the facility providing financial assistance for Member States’ balance of payments and the European financial stabilisation mechanism,

—cooperation with economic operators and decision-makers in the abovementioned fields,

—deepening and expanding the EMU,

—purchase of equipment, software development, maintenance and related training for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Union policies on all aspects of the rules and functioning of EMU, as well as on the benefits of closer policy coordination and structural reforms, and to address information needs of key stakeholders and citizens in relation to the EMU.

This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the citizens of the Union and the Union institutions, and to take account of specific national and regional characteristics, where appropriate in cooperation with Member States’ authorities. Emphasis will also be placed on preparing citizens for the introduction of the euro in Member States planning for its introduction.

It includes:

—the development of communication activities at central level (brochures, leaflets, newsletters, website design, development and maintenance, social media, exhibitions, stands, conferences, seminars, audiovisual products, opinion polls, surveys, studies, promotional material, coin design competitions, twinning programmes, training etc.), and similar activities at the national and regional level implemented in cooperation with the Commission’s Representations,

—partnership agreements with Member States that wish to provide information about the euro or the EMU,

—cooperation and networking with Member States in the appropriate forums,

—communication initiatives in third countries, in particular to point out the international role of the euro and the value of financial integration.

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

The implementation of the Commission’s communication strategy takes place in close coordination with the Member States and the European Parliament.

The Commission adopts a strategy and an annual work plan drawing on the orientations set out in its Communication of 11 August 2004 (COM(2004) 552 final) and it reports regularly to the relevant committee of the European Parliament on the implementation of the programme and on planning for the coming year.

This appropriation is also intended to cover or to temporarily pre-finance costs incurred by the Union in concluding and carrying out operations linked with the borrowing and lending operations for macro-financial assistance, Euratom, balance of payment and European financial stabilisation mechanism.

Any revenue entered in Article 5 5 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with point (a) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 1 660 000.

Remarks

Article 122(2) TFEU provides for the possibility of granting Union financial assistance to a Member State in difficulties or seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused by exceptional occurrences beyond its control.

The guarantee provided by the Union is for borrowings raised on the capital markets or from financial institutions.

This article constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the Union. It will enable the Commission to service the debt should debtors default.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally.

Remarks

Macro-financial assistance (MFA) is a form of financial aid extended by the Union to partner countries experiencing a balance of payments crisis. MFA is designed for countries geographically, economically and politically close to the Union. These include candidate and potential candidate countries, countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy and, in certain circumstances, other third countries. In principle, MFA is only available to countries benefiting from an International Monetary Fund programme.

MFA is exceptional in nature and is mobilised on a case-by-case basis to help countries dealing with serious balance-of-payments difficulties. Its objective is to restore a sustainable external financial situation, while encouraging economic adjustments and structural reforms.

While MFA can take the form of medium/long-term loans or grants, or a combination of these, this article only covers the grant element of MFA operations.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover costs incurred in relation to MFA operations, and in particular: (i) costs incurred to conduct operational assessments in the beneficiary countries to obtain reasonable assurances on the functioning of administrative procedures and financial circuits, (ii) costs related to the implementation of the ‘Better Regulation’ guidelines, in particular for ex-post evaluations of MFA operations, and (iii) costs to cover comitology requirements.

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

Any revenue entered in Article 5 5 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with point (a) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

The European Parliament and the Council were to decide in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure on the activation in whole or in part of the optional mandate. The Union guarantee covers EIB financing operations signed during the period beginning on 25 July 2014 and ending on 31 December 2020 with an extension of six months if the European Parliament and the Council have not adopted a new decision granting the Union guarantee to the EIB against losses under its financing operations outside the Union before the end of 2020. Following a mid-term review, Decision No 466/2014/EU was amended by Decision (EU) 2018/412. The optional mandate of EUR 3 000 000 000 was activated and an additional private-sector lending mandate of EUR 2 300 000 000 was established for projects directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration. Consequently the maximum ceiling increased to EUR 32 300 000 000. A new guarantee agreement in accordance with the amended Decision was signed between the Commission and the EIB on 3 October 2018.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In that case, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 of 26 May 2014 on the methods and procedure for making available the traditional, VAT and GNI-based own resources and on the measures to meet cash requirements (OJ L 168, 7.6.2014, p. 39) applies.

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

Remarks

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

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

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

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (e), (f) and (g) of Article 21(2) 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 of the Union.

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

Any revenues and repayments generated on Trust Accounts entered in Article 5 2 3 of the statement of revenue will be returned to the general budget of the Union or transferred to the succeeding financial instruments under the Union equity instruments for research and innovation under Horizon 2020 or the Equity Facility for Growth under COSME, as the case may be, in accordance with the Financial Regulation and Regulations (EU) No 1287/2013 and (EU) No 1290/2013.

Pilot project — Model social impact approaches to social housing and empowerment of Roma: testing the use of innovative financial instruments for better social outcomes

Remarks

For concentrated groups of European citizens, housing deprivation has been a constant for decades. Roma are one of the minority groups in Europe with the highest rates of poverty and social exclusion. Despite long-standing efforts, including the EU framework for national Roma integration strategies (NRIS) for 2020, introduced as long ago as in 2011, tackling the socio-economic exclusion of and discrimination against Roma remains an objective.

The implementation of NRIS has hitherto largely relied on grant funding from European structural and investment funds (ESIF). The use of ESIF funds has unfortunately been limited by the lack of political commitment and capacity of national and regional authorities in charge of managing the funds. Scarce use has been made of financial instruments to date, such as loans and guarantees, to promote the socio-economic inclusion of marginalised Roma communities.

This pilot project is part of the Union’s efforts to:

—Support social innovation and new, holistic approaches to social service provision, the empowerment of disadvantaged groups and delivering transformative solutions for key social challenges, in particular Roma inclusion;

—Stimulate cross-sectoral collaborations and social impact partnerships (public-private and civic engagement) as a new avenue for public value creation;

—Pioneer the use of new financial instruments and blended support (financial instruments, grant and capacity building) for projects with high social externalities;

—In the longer term, support the development of the social investment market and social impact interventions through testing/refinement of a model which could be scaled up across Europe under, for example, the future single Union investment programme (InvestEU).

The InvestEU programme could be a game changer, with financial allocation to support social infrastructure (namely housing, health and education facilities), social innovation and social impact schemes. The next integrated investment programme of the Union could offer a significant opportunity to make progress in achieving the inclusion of Roma.

Scope of the pilot project:

This project will develop a housing model solution and improved life opportunities for a selected group of marginalised Roma communities. The target beneficiaries will typically reside in unregulated/illegal outskirt settlements and face adversity as regards access to income/gainful employment opportunities and to other inclusion opportunities.

In essence, this is a multiphase model which involves the preparation (in terms of financial literacy, motivation, job assistance and life skills, and construction assistance) of Roma families on the path to home ownership and empowerment.

Activities will therefore include:

—The provision of financial education, job assistance and life skills training for selected participants from a disadvantaged background who are enrolled in the programme;

—Support for savings schemes for each family, for about one year, to enable loan payments to be made for construction materials for new homes;

—Engagement with public authorities for the allocation of land for the intervention, and providing training to public authorities so that they can implement and manage inclusion/desegregation programmes and further provide social services to the local community.

This multiphase model will trial innovative approaches combining financial instruments (loans, guarantees, etc.), grants and capacity building assistance.

The pilot may be carried out in partnership with an implementing organisation. Under a single grant contract with the Commission, the selected implementing partner would channel the support via:

—A guarantee for de-risking portfolios of social housing loans to targeted beneficiaries, accounting for some 25 % of the budget; and

—Capacity building grants for NGOs providing coaching/mentoring services to municipalities, enabling the purchase of apartments/houses, constructions (provision of land and necessary infrastructure) and local Roma communities for financial literacy and construction training, employment and civic education, accounting for some 75 % of the budget.

Activities will be closely aligned with and complement current pilot projects for Roma inclusion (ROMACT), cohesion policy funding tools which could be mobilised as a result, as well as relevant desegregation guidance and holistic approaches to local development principles.

The pilot project will test and develop integrated social finance models as part of a multicountry, pan-European approach, possibly as a pilot for a combined financial/advisory product under the InvestEU Programme post-2020. This should complement cohesion funding support and reinforce the objectives of social inclusion, desegregation, access to education, employment support and regional development. It could also provide models for replication under social outcome contracting mechanisms.

After being tested at multiple sites with substantial Roma communities, it will expand to different locations within the countries with substantial Roma communities (e.g. East Slovakia, East Czechia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary) and be replicated in an urban context.

Activities will be closely aligned with and complement current pilot projects for Roma inclusion (ROMACT) and additional Cohesion policy funding tools which could be mobilised. The pilot project will also contribute to policy development in the area of homelessness and housing exclusion and support preparation of the post-2020 EU framework for NRIS.

Target groups:

—Marginalised Roma families, as one of the most excluded groups in Europe, whose fate embodies one of the most acute social challenges in central and eastern European countries and, indeed, the Union;

—Public authorities, financial intermediaries and social impact actors (foundations, service providers).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises, in particular that of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to encourage entrepreneurship and foster the creation and growth of SMEs.

The implemented measures will include:

—networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

—market replication projects,

—policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

—policies to foster entrepreneurship,

—information sharing, dissemination, awareness raising and advisory services to increase SME’s competitiveness and help them participate in the single market and beyond,

—support to joint actions of Member States or regions, as well as other measures under the programme for the competitiveness of enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME).

The Union will provide support to activities such as the Enterprise Europe Network and entrepreneurship promotion. It will also support projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of techniques, practices or products (e.g. new business concepts for consumer goods) of Union relevance that have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. Those projects will be designed to promote wider use within the participating countries and facilitate market uptake.

Projects will also seek to improve the framework conditions including through capacity building in clusters and other business networks notably with regard to support SME internationalisation in order to ensure that Union enterprises are competitive and sustainable, including in the tourism sector, by supporting coherence and consistency in implementation, as well as informed policy-making at Union level. In addition, projects will be put in place to support the implementation of the Single Market Strategy and the Start-up Initiative. Support actions, directly linked to the achievement of these objectives are also considered for funding: meetings (including workshops), studies, information and publications and participation in study groups.

Sustainable tourism activities will receive a special focus with initial priority given to soft mobility, cycling networks, eco-tourism and nature protection. Accessibility for all, particularly for people with reduced mobility and for socially disadvantaged people is also of high importance in this context.

The Union will coordinate, promote and support actions for sustainable tourism, such as:

—preservation of long-term sustainable tourism resources through protection of natural, cultural, historical and industrial heritage,

—coordination and support for access to sustainable tourism information and services for less-advantaged citizens living in poverty, as well as for persons with reduced mobility,

—cross-border coordination of European cycling networks, together with rail and long-distance bus information and services.

The ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ programme aims to encourage European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best practices, and the creation of valuable networks, partnerships, companies and jobs.

Due to the currently difficult economic situation it is indispensable to support European enterprises, in particular young innovative start-ups and female entrepreneurs, and to foster entrepreneurship by assigning enough funds to programmes like the COSME programme. It is particularly important to provide support and incentives for the most modern and innovative sectors, such as the sharing economy and the digital economy. The Union will provide support for young entrepreneurs in these sectors and develop and introduce instruments that will allow innovative start-ups to compete with rivals from third countries on world markets. Support will also be provided to increase SMEs’ participation in public procurement.

In particular the programme ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ has been very successful, efficient and effective in contributing successfully to fighting unemployment and supporting robust start-ups across Europe.

The financial means for the ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ programme are maintained in particular due to the following reasons:

—the programme helps fostering European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best-practices as well as creating valuable networks and partnerships,

—the programme is very successful and has shown an increasing number of participants over the last years which is expected to increase further,

—the programme effectively tackles the problem of unemployment as it helps people without work to become self-employed and existing SME to create jobs and increase their turnover by expanding or internationalising their business,

—the number of applications exceeds by far the possibilities the Commission can fulfil with the financial means currently available.

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, those 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 points (b) (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 4 815 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is to be used to improve access to finance small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including companies of female entrepreneurs, in the form of equity and debt, in their start-up, growth and transfer phase.

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

An equity facility for growth (EFG) allows investments in risk capital funds which invest in SMEs in the expansion and growth stage, whilst taking a gender-sensitive and non-discriminatory approach, and in particular in those operating cross-borders. It will be possible to invest in early stage funds in conjunction with the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. In cases of joint investments in multi-stage funds, investments will be provided on a pro-rata basis from the EFG of the COSME programme and the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. Support from the EFG will be (a) either directly by the European Investment Fund (EIF) or other entities entrusted with the implementation on behalf of the Commission or (b) by funds-of-funds or investment vehicles investing across borders.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, those 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 points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 209(3) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6 4 1 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 21(3) and Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount of assigned revenue is estimated at EUR 27 300 000.

Capitalising on the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, this action will showcase and promote the diversity and richness of European heritage and cultural manifestations (UNESCO World Heritage sites, music and food festivals, folklore and spirituality) as a reason to visit Europe, the continent of culture and creativity.

The activities carried out under this preparatory action could be linked to the theme of ‘Culture Europe - Promoting Europe’s treasures’, with individual countries, regions or macro-regions presenting their distinct heritage and cultural assets to a broad international audience.

The preparatory action builds on and continues the Destination Brand Europe pilot project, but it proposes an enlarged scope and an increased budget. The action will also include promoting less well-known but equally interesting locations and tourism sites, with the ultimate aim of diversifying the range of European destinations, creating new tourism products and supporting less developed regions.

VisitEurope.com, a portal developed with Union support, could be a suitable platform for promotional and marketing activities. Additionally, the ‘360° European Wonders’ app presented by the Commission in 2017 could be integrated into the promotional and marketing strategy.

Ultimately, the action will raise awareness around responsible and sustainable development as regards cultural heritage and the protection of resources for future generations.

The main objectives and actions include:

—preserving Europe’s lead position among world tourist destination by promoting European cultural heritage;

—developing and endorsing promotional and marketing channels (online and offline) that will enable destinations to maximise the reach of their tourism offer;

—diversifying the range of European destinations by promoting less visible secondary destinations (so-called ‘hidden gems’) as new tourism products;

—researching and identifying a number of well-developed and accessible alternative tourist destinations with high potential demand and appeal both internally and in overseas markets;

—engaging with various stakeholders across Member States to raise the visibility of cultural heritage sites;

—providing support to industry partners, especially SMEs in the hospitality and transport sectors, to develop tourism products that incorporate these alternative destinations into their travel packages.

The World Bridge Tourism pilot project was initiated in the 2015 budget. The main aim of the project was to ensure that Europe should benefit from world bridge tourism by increasing the GDP of the tourism sector. At the same time, it was to bring about significant economic growth, including the creation of sustainable employment opportunities.

The preparatory action focuses on China as the fastest-growing tourism source market in the world. As stated in the pilot project, Chinese tourists’ propensity to travel abroad is expected to continue rising in the coming decades. Beyond Asia and the Pacific, Europe is the largest destination region for Chinese travellers. As Europe has a prominent place on the Chinese ‘wish list’, it is necessary to think about how Member States could host Chinese tourists more effectively. This will involve mutual understanding and continuous and sustainable training of employees throughout Europe in the tourism sector.

The preparatory action will increase flows of Chinese visitors by facilitating business between European tourism providers and Chinese buyers.

2018 was EU-China Tourism Year, during the preparatory period for which the World Bridge Tourism project had a crucial role.

The main objectives and actions include:

—identifying best practices and analysing the results of the pilot project;

—continuing the awareness campaign among tour operators and agencies;

—active involvement in the EU-China Tourism Year 2018;

—enlarging the scope of the project by involving Chinese cultural institutes (e.g. the Confucius Institute) and other public outreach stakeholders;

—increasing involvement of social networks and focusing on digitisation, and providing incentives for bringing tourist products and services into line with the needs of Chinese tourists, including the use of marketing tools (websites and flyers in Chinese) and promoting them on Chinese social networks (e.g. Weibo).

Knowledge and skills are crucial not only for the personal welfare of each citizen, but also for sustainable development and economic growth. It is therefore important to offer a perspective to people coming from countries in economic and social crisis, especially young people, so that they have an opportunity to create added value not only for themselves, but also for the general public.

It is therefore important to empower young migrants and refugees to gain access to knowledge and to develop skills they are able to use and leverage when they are back in their home countries.

This will make it possible for them not only to establish a livelihood, but also potentially to become entrepreneurs, build up their own businesses and create employment.

The core of this initiative will be targeted mentoring programmes from different organisations, such as civil protection and community services, as well as companies (including local suppliers). Elements of a dual-training system would help beneficiaries to identify the specific needs of organisations or companies on the ground.

The legal situation regarding the waiting period for taking up an economic activity differs considerably from Member State to Member State. To make the preparatory action a success, it will therefore also be necessary to conduct a review of current national legal frameworks and to identify best practices which could be promoted in order to speed up procedures, so that young migrants can take advantage of the proposed programmes as soon as possible upon arrival.

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

Industrial modernisation is critical to improving the Union’s competitiveness and is therefore an absolute cornerstone of its policy. In this regard, the ability of industrial companies not only to develop but also to absorb and successfully implement new technologies is crucial. However, this remains a big challenge for many companies.

Different stages can be identified in the process of developing and deploying new technologies. There is mounting evidence that market failure occurs at the demonstration stage (TRL 6-8) of the innovation process: between applied research, prototyping and market entry. Testing and validation of prototypes in an industrial environment and certifying new applications remain both very costly and highly uncertain. In many cases this prevents, or at least substantially delays, market uptake of very promising innovations from research and industry, including those previously financed by the Union. On the one hand, industrial companies very often do not have all the necessary equipment and skills to carry out further prototyping activities, validation tests, certification procedures, cost comparisons and other post-prototyping activities needed before full production and market launch. These activities are usually categorised as so-called ‘non-recurrent costs’ and contribute to what is commonly known as the ‘Valley of Death’. On the other hand, very few regions have all the demonstration capabilities in place to help companies carry out the full spectrum of post-prototyping activities in a specific technology domain.

There is a strong need and rationale to establish an inter-regional innovation structure with pan-European shared demonstration facilities (industry commons) accessible by industry and able to speed up technology deployment in and by industrial companies. Shared demonstration facilities can be established by connecting and upgrading the complementary facilities which already exist in the regions, or by creating new shared facilities if needed.

In the past, and in ongoing activities under Vanguard Initiative (VI) pilot projects (www.s3vanguardinitiative.eu), various regions have found that setting up ‘shared demonstration facilities’ usually involves a non-profitable component. This funding gap occurs when setting up shared facilities and meeting initial operating costs. Once this funding gap is closed, industrial demonstration activities can take place. If they are successful, companies can then upscale their production, generate revenues in the marketplace and hence generate growth and jobs. In order to speed up technology deployment and industrial modernisation, stronger public intervention is therefore needed to unlock innovation and growth potential. At the moment, there is no suitable cross-regional, pan-European instrument to support very much needed investments in innovation infrastructure.

In this context, this preparatory action will complement and further expand the ongoing activities under the VI and the Thematic Smart Specialisation Platform for Industrial Modernisation (TSSP IM). While the TSSP IM and its inter-regional partnerships, such as VI, are instrumental in detecting and initiating inter-regional collaboration for technology uptake, this action will support the development of investments, operations and services, and defray coordination costs for shared demonstration facilities serving a customer base of industrial organisations throughout Europe.

This preparatory action will be particularly important in generating input for the (re)designing of various Union policies, including innovation (Ninth Framework Programme), investment (European Fund for Strategic Investments) and cohesion policy. The action will identify the scope and limitations of existing funds and financial instruments for ultimately stimulating the uptake of market-creating technologies and the promotion of follow-up investments by the private sector, including through close or closer cooperation with industry associations, thereby providing useful input for policy makers.

This preparatory action will focus on the specific VI pilot project for shared demonstration facilities for ‘High Performance Production through 3D Printing’ (3DP). The 3DP pilot project is among the most advanced, but it faces a huge investment challenge for several of its industrial applications. 3D printing has also been identified as a disruptive technology significantly impacting a broad range of industrial sectors.

Specifically, the preparatory action will focus on the following activities:

(1)setting up an operational platform of connected demonstration facilities between regions by, inter alia:

—connecting demonstration facilities to form a virtual support platform;

—monitoring the provision of know-how, equipment and services to industry, ensuring broad sectoral coverage;

—if needed, expanding the network of connected facilities to improve industrial and/or geographical coverage;

—setting up a network of accredited service providers throughout Europe (for support, training, certification, etc. within the networked demonstration facilities);

(2)attracting industrial demonstration projects via the platform by, inter alia:

—interacting with key stakeholders;

—promoting the platform and identifying opportunities;

—further developing 3DP demonstration cases and use cases, creating new value chains;

—identifying the specific coordination costs and investment support needs;

—communicating and working with a wider audience, including making use of the TSSP IM;

—working on synergies between the relevant pilot project and related initiatives;

—gaining specific knowledge on funding issues to address specific investment needs;

(3)providing an overview of specific proposals for changes to Union policies, in consultation with the Commission.

For proper implementation and evaluation, a timeframe of three years (2018-2020) is needed, including an annual update of the roadmap by a strategy board that will also include Members of the European Parliament.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action will create a business-enabling network for SMEs to seize circular economy business opportunities. It will advance a new type of environmentally friendly industry, where the worthless is turned into valuable by making full use of all materials, including side flows and waste.

The major chemical-using industries, businesses and associated supply chains in different parts of Europe (notably in Finland, France, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom) attempt to create new business out of side flows and wastes. Side flows can be recovered and used as raw materials in new industries. By refining raw materials in the Union, most added value is created in the single market, thus benefitting European economies. This will create jobs and benefit the environment.

The Cir©Lean target group is export-orientated industrial service SMEs which are willing and able and have an international outlook. Cir©Lean will build a systematic, long-term business-enabling network for Union-based SMEs by utilising cross-border, cross-sector and cross-industry knowledge and by developing innovative circular economy business models. The action will help SMEs find ways to increase the value of (currently unidentified) waste and residues by turning them into valuable products to be sold in both the domestic and international markets. The action will enhance industrial symbiosis by increasing the degree of processing of residual waste and landfill and generate new residual waste business.

New business models will be created in cross-border, cross-sector and cross-industry Open Innovation Business workshops where SMEs, primary industries, business developers, educators, researchers, authorities and financiers pool their skills. The Sustainability Assessment Tool developed in Finland will be applied in this work. The workshops will contribute to the development of new knowledge for all participants, creating new commercial products and services that span national borders.

Approximately 20 SMEs will participate in the Cir©Lean preparatory action. As a milestone for the action, 100 SMEs will participate in professional development activities, and, as part of the action, they will gain new contacts and establish cross-border cooperation. When the action is completed, exports will increase and the number of SMEs with new business models will grow. New long-term and sustainable contacts and partnerships with permanent cooperation structures will be established as a result.

Cir©Lean will set up a circular economy business-enabling network that will continue after the preparatory action ends.

Youth unemployment remains a significant challenge for Member States. As of February 2018 it stood at 15,9 % in the EU28 and 17,7 % in the euro area. The aim of the initial pilot project was to contribute to reducing youth unemployment through the provision of worker co-operatives by establishing entrepreneurship and sustainable job opportunities for young people to both work in and own part of the company simultaneously, as well as establishing best practice in the area for the Union as a whole.

The pilot project was launched in the three Member States with the most experience in this field, and included objectives such as improving knowledge of the co-operative business concept, guiding students in implementing their own ideas and helping them start up businesses in the form of a co-operative, providing training and internships/apprenticeships in co-operatives and examining how to create synergies with related Union programmes.

The preparatory action continues to build on the impact of the pilot project in these three Member States and extends actions to other Member States still struggling with high youth unemployment, such as Greece and Spain.

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

Tourism is a key sector for economic development and job creation in Europe. Tourism bodies are in a never-ending dispute over a unified classification system for hotels, restaurants and other facilities. As the needs and expectations of consumers evolved, consequently stimulating supply in the hotel sector, it became essential to regulate this area of activity by adopting measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers.

However, consumers’ perceptions often do not match what they receive owing to insufficient and ineffective communication.

This project will draw up:

—a framework for comprehensively mapping the existing public and private initiatives (star systems, certification schemes, etc.) for tourism that will harmonise the classification system in terms of accuracy and how up-to-date the information is, and will bring transparency and consistency to service quality evaluation and performance;

—a framework for the content of information provided by travel agencies, tour operators, online booking sites and review sites; the information provided to consumers should be examined, compared and compatible with Union level criteria for the initiatives in question;

—a framework for trans-national cooperation between public authorities and industries to improve the content of ‘terms and conditions’ and ensure a fair ‘agreement’ between the service provider and the tourist; the agreement should specify, among other things, the payment conditions and the rights of the tourist, especially in cases where the contracted services are not adequately performed;

—the feasibility of establishing principles at Union level for tourism service quality, including Union competence, added value and technical viability.

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

One major objective of the Union institutions is to improve coordination of policy at Union and Member State level as regards promoting the use of ICT in education, training and learning systems. One condition for integrating ICT is to increase the availability and quality of connectivity to broadband internet services for schools and classrooms, especially in rural and low population density areas, by adopting dedicated policies.

The Commission has allocated resources for enhancing school connectivity to the internet, promoting policy coordination through various initiatives. One such initiative was set out in the Commission communication of 25 September 2013 entitled ‘Opening up Education: Innovative teaching and learning for all through new Technologies and Open Educational Resources’ (COM(2013) 654 final), which clearly stated that ‘Enhancing local ICT infrastructure (broadband, content, tools) is still needed in some parts of Europe...’ and that ‘Member States are investing in upgrading their national educational infrastructure (ICT, digital educational resources, broadband) but fragmentation and incoherence among Member States persists. On average, 93 % of EU students access the internet at home, but only 72 % have access to it at a place of education, sometimes not in the classroom.’

Innovation in the education sector remains a key priority for the Commission as is clearly stated in the Commission communication of 14 September 2016 entitled ‘Connectivity for a Competitive Digital Single Market — Towards a European Gigabit Society’ (COM(2016) 587 final). The European Parliament, in its resolution of 1 June 2017 on internet connectivity for growth, competitiveness and cohesion: European gigabit society and 5G (OJ C 307, 30.8.2018, p. 144), welcomed the ambitious plan to provide ultra-fast internet in primary and secondary schools, universities and libraries by 2025, in line with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. It also stressed that faster and better connectivity provides huge opportunities to enhance teaching methods, to foster research and to develop high quality educational services online as well as to create better opportunities for distance learning.

The European Parliament also emphasised that, in order for the gigabit target to have its full impact on Union economy and not to miss opportunities, it is important to close the digital divide and prevent the opening of new divides, and to this end funding opportunities should be explored by Member States and the Commission in support of the achievement for the main socio-economic drivers (schools, universities, public administrations).

In 2016, many schools in the Union still lacked broadband access (especially primary schools, 25 % of which had no broadband access or even no internet access at all). The main reasons for this are:

—poor awareness among schools and local authorities of the technical options available to access broadband internet;

—a limited number of dedicated, large national institutional support programmes;

—lack of knowledge about possible funding options, including voucher schemes, and how to implement them.

In 2015, the Commission published a call for tenders for a feasibility study on the provision of satellite broadband for schools located in rural areas and not covered by any fixed wired or wireless broadband.

That study, called ‘Satellite broadband for schools: Feasibility study’ (SMART 2015/0061), was published in September 2017. It confirmed that the use of satellite-based access and distribution is an efficient solution to make broadband internet and educational multimedia content immediately available to schools that are now unconnected or poorly connected and would otherwise remain so for some time to come.

Objective of the pilot project

The objective of the pilot project was to build on the results of the feasibility study with field trials in Union regions containing schools in digital divide areas. In particular, it helped assess the benefits of immediate connectivity via satellite broadband for schools affected by the digital divide, with the support of regional or national authorities, in advance of the even greater benefits that the European Gigabit Society will subsequently make widely available.

Accordingly, the two-year pilot project:

(i)identified Union regions that have a large number of schools (particularly primary schools) affected by long-term digital divide;

(ii)applied simple, efficient and cost-effective voucher schemes to subsidise procurement of satellite broadband for access to and distribution of educational multimedia content, for example through the creation of digital libraries, as recommended in the feasibility study; and

(iii)fostered outreach and communication, for example through workshops.

In this process the pilot project involved relevant European stakeholders in the ICT supply chain and ensured coordination with educational stakeholders (education ministries, Commission, etc.).

The pilot project could be carried out by means of a grant awarded without a call for proposals to the Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies (NEREUS), which is a dynamic platform for all European regions wishing to use space technologies to improve their public policies for the benefit of their citizens. The pilot project ran for two years (2018 and 2019) on the basis of that grant.

The preparatory action will build on the success of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs Global (EYE Global)/Achieve Leadership in Entrepreneurship and Cooperation Opportunities (ALECO) pilot project. It will contribute towards achieving objectives of the Union in the field of entrepreneurship and economic growth by supporting the creation of start-ups across the Union.

The action is a one-way mobility scheme for new entrepreneurs of the Union providing for a stay of up to three months in the US, Canada, Singapore or South Korea. The destination countries have been selected on the basis of the progress made by the current pilot, trade relevance (including the existence of Free-Trade Agreements) and the existence of advanced start-up support ecosystems.

Up to 350 candidates from Member States will be selected from the target group and given the opportunity to gain experience from successful and experienced host entrepreneurs and to interact with the host’s start-up ecosystem.

The target group of participants includes profiles with the following eligibility criteria: (a) future entrepreneurs with ready-to-implement business plans and giving a binding commitment to start up a firm; (b) entrepreneurs who have started a business in the last three years, either alone or in partnership.

The Union budget will support the participating entrepreneurs by covering travel costs and subsistence costs in the chosen destinations for the duration of their stay and by funding the necessary measures to identify host entrepreneurs and promote the programme in the destination countries.

Arrangements for implementation of the action will build on existing arrangements for the EYE Global pilot project, including delegation to the relevant executive agency where applicable, with provision being made for resources to be adjusted where necessary.

Remarks

A smart destination is the result of several factors, including information and communication technologies that promote an innovative territory, cooperation and co-creation, mainly by visitors. On the basis of an understanding of this aspect, accessibility is one of the features of an intelligent tourist destination, both physically and virtual. Smartness enhances the quality of the experience at the destination for both visitors and residents.

A smart city can be seen as an urban space that takes advantage of information and communication technologies and data science to answer today’s challenges, namely to become more efficient in services and infrastructure management and to deliver enhanced quality of life to the people who live or work in the city or visit the city, including support for combating climate change.

In this context, city authorities are under pressure and are going through a digital transformation process that is reflected in the proliferation of smart-cities initiatives around the world. This is part of the strategic response to the challenges and opportunities of growing urbanisation and climate change, together with the emergence of cities as a space for social and economic development framed by an urgent need for global sustainability.

A study on smart cities will cover a concept of urban intelligence and its building blocks that result from the city digital transformation process, which will lead to a paradigm shift turning the city into a platform where urban planning and management for sustainability is supported by urban analytics and real-time data.

With that in mind, a study will be carried out on the basis of an implementation plan in a specific city/region with a view to ensuring:

—quantitative and qualitative data on tourism and smart destinations;

—better knowledge of the impact of tourism;

—the development and creation of a European methodology of tourism analysis based on big data applied at Union level for smart destinations;

—better research and development for solutions designed at Union level;

—scope for local testing and future applicability (implementation plan in a specific city).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of the functioning and activities of European non-governmental and non-profit organisations representing the interests of small and medium-sized enterprises and consumers, as well as environmental and social interests, in standardisation activities.

Such representation in the standardisation process at European level forms part of the statutory objectives of such organisations, and they have been mandated by national non-profit organisations in at least two thirds of the Member States to represent those interests.

Contributions to such European organisations have previously been covered by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the consumer policy and the Financial Instrument for the environment, LIFE+. In Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 the actions in the field of standardisation financed by specific programmes have been brought together in a single legal act.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2), and operational expenditure in connection with the work programme (Title 3).

The Agency must inform the European Parliament and the Council about transfers of appropriations between operational and administrative expenditure.

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, those 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 points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 17 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/715 of 18 December 2018 on the framework financial regulation for the bodies set up under the TFEU and Euratom Treaty and referred to in Article 70 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 122, 10.5.2019, p. 1) constitute assigned revenue in accordance with point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation, to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue.

In 2020, the Agency’s revenue from fees and charges and the surplus carried over from previous year will not be sufficient to cover for the expected expenditure, which implies the need of a balancing subsidy from the Commission. The Union contribution for 2020 amounts to a total of EUR 61 879 520. An amount of EUR 3 051 863, coming from the surplus, is added to the amount of EUR 58 827 657 entered in the budget.

Remarks

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

In recent decades, Europe has made substantial improvements in fire safety by continuously enhancing regulations and the implementation of national fire safety measures. The rate of fire fatalities in Member States fell by 65 % between 1979 and 2007, although with significant disparities across Member States. A better understanding of these differences will help identify best practices. According to statistics, fire fatalities represent about 2 % of accidental deaths in the Union (Commission study regarding Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 on the toxicity of smoke produced by construction products in fires).

The Commission’s study revealed an important data gap in the coverage of statistical information on fire safety and fire casualties in buildings across Europe. In addition, the nature and format of data collected varies greatly across Member States, which hinders data comparison and thereby to effectively assessing potential best practices and successful safety approaches.

Furthermore, recent tragic events have rightly triggered renewed attention on how to improve fire safety in buildings in Europe. One example is the Directive (EU) 2018/844 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 amending Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 75), in which the Council and the European Parliament emphasise the importance of fire safety, in particular the renovation of existing buildings in Europe.

The planned enhanced efforts to renovate the building stock in Europe present an added opportunity to further improve fire safety, while recognising that the issue of fire safety and prevention remains relevant in a context going beyond renovations. Electrical safety is another key aspect and might be influenced by the increased deployment of infrastructure for electric vehicles in buildings as well as enhanced interactions between buildings and the grid.

This pilot project addresses the data gap in Europe in the area of fire casualties, fire safety measures and fire prevention measures.

The pilot project takes into account and make use of any initiatives by the new Fire Information Exchange Platform (FIEP), recently established by the Commission. The results of this project will also support the work of the FIEP.

The pilot project funds a Union-wide analysis and assessment of available fire safety data, identify data gaps and draw up recommendations for:

(a)Union-level actions to support enhanced data collection and data streamlining in statistics regarding fire casualties, fire safety and fire prevention (closing data gaps)

(b)Union-level actions to support the domestic fire safety and fire prevention efforts of Member States, including in relation to the renovation of buildings (Union-wide fire safety awareness campaign)

The pilot project could lead to subsequent preparatory action to launch Union-level actions and initiatives in support of Member States’ fire safety and fire prevention efforts, including their building renovation efforts, thereby supporting safety for Europeans as well as sustainable growth and job creation in Europe.

The pilot project is implemented by the Commission with possible assistance by external contractors, research facilities and relevant stakeholders.

Remarks

As a follow-up to the existing pilot project under Item 02 03 77 07, and having regard to paragraph 40 of the European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (OJ C 298, 23.8.2018, p. 140), this preparatory action will continue to fund measures relating to third-party testing of RDE in relation to transposition of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

In the past, qualified third parties provided authorities at Union and national level with reliable information on the emission behaviour of vehicles. That information was rarely made available by the authorities responsible. Funding should be made available to allow them to provide reliable data from on-road emissions testing of passenger cars which is independent of the data provided by manufacturers and regulatory authorities in order to promote transparency and improve market surveillance.

Third parties will use validated test procedures as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, including the four RDE packages and the guidelines outlined in the Commission notice of 26 January 2017. They will publish the results of their measurements in order to support the development of best practice procedures and the provision of broader information to the authorities responsible and the public.

The focus of the work will be on lifetime compliance that can be assessed by testing vehicles which are outside the parameters currently regulated by either in-service conformity or market surveillance, i.e. vehicles more than five years old or which have been driven for more than 100 000 km. Such testing will provide extremely useful information on the quality of current emission control systems and will help in providing necessary information for the development of the new legislative proposal on emissions. The testing should include RDE tests and laboratory tests on older vehicles, as well as measurement of all possible pollutants, including those not currently regulated.

Independent third parties will thus contribute to better oversight of how exhaust standards are performing in practice and the extent to which the Union’s objectives in terms of air quality and climate policy are being achieved. They will contribute to a broader understanding of exhaust reduction strategies with regard to acceleration, high speed, ambient temperature and other criteria. Their specific test procedure will be documented transparently and should take into account current rules on RDE and the latest research.

Remarks

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

Vehicle emissions tests using PEMS or remote sensing show that some EURO 5 and EURO 6 vehicles still emit significantly more NOx under real-world conditions compared to laboratory test results. Only since the introduction of the real driving emission (RDE) test with EURO 6d (from 1 September 2017 onwards) have discrepancies between type- approved and real-world emissions been reduced.

In order to improve the real-world environmental performance of type-approved EURO 5 and EURO 6 vehicles (before the introduction of RDE), retrofitting of vehicles is required.

On 16 April 2018, the Commission awarded the Horizon Prize on Engine Retrofit for Clean Air. The prize demonstrated the effectiveness of retrofits and the relatively low costs, and spurred the development of new technologies that can be applied to recent EURO 5 and EURO 6 diesel engines.

Further work to assess the effectiveness of retrofit options, building on the Horizon Prize on Engine Retrofit for Clean Air, is required. A broad range of technologies should be assessed on a variety of engine technologies of various EURO classes, including Gasoline Particle Filters retrofit options. Moreover, possible certification schemes for retrofit solutions should be assessed, in order to provide clear information to consumers and enhance trust in the effectiveness of retrofit options.

The pilot project has the following goals:

—to carry out a broad testing exercise, testing the effectiveness of various retrofit options to determine which technologies under which conditions are able to meet the EURO 6 emission limit values (ELV) and the relevant access requirements for low-emission zones (LEZ), using laboratory tests and the RDE test, and covering a broad range of driving conditions, engine technologies and EURO classes;

—to assess a variety of possible certification schemes for retrofit solutions.

The project builds on the work already carried out by the Commission in the context of the Horizon Prize.

Remarks

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

Europe is increasingly reliant on space technologies, with the satellite sector providing new applications in both the civilian and military spheres. The risk of interference between space actors and space objects is increasing. There is a clear need for space traffic management (STM) in order to ensure that space activities (exploration and utilisation of space, space applications and services) are carried out safely and to shape the development of the legal and regulatory framework for space activities. The legal foundation is provided by international space law treaties. The Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme could be a basis for STM.

STM could comprise the following actions:

(1)interdisciplinary research;

(2)opinion building;

(3)advancing technical prerequisites and international cooperation;

(4)preparation in United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and inter-governmental forums;

(5)raising public awareness.

Objectives of STM:

(1)guaranteeing the prosperity and advancement of future generations by keeping spaceflight safe and space exploration and use sustainable;

(2)dealing with the problems and promises of spaceflight by addressing all phases of traffic entering, operating in and returning from outer space;

(3)tackling the ongoing decline in safety and sustainability by tying together existing technologies, infrastructures and legal instruments.

Remarks

Sudden cardiac arrests account for 20% of deaths in the Union. This figure could be significantly lower if early chest compression and early defibrillation were performed on all victims. Indeed, research shows that a first defibrillation less than three minutes after cardiac arrest results in a survival rate of 74%. Yet less than 5% of cardiac arrest victims are treated with early chest compression and defibrillation.

Nowadays, more and more information campaigns are being carried out to encourage people to learn how to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and to encourage individuals, private organisations and public authorities to acquire automated external defibrillators (AEDs). However, the location of these devices is in many cases unknown to others, including the emergency services. This results in a situation where heart attack victims cannot be resuscitated in time. Hence, it is essential to develop and promote measures to map publicly accessible AEDs.

At the same time, the added value of the European global navigation satellite systems EGNOS and Galileo as regards location-based services has already been demonstrated. Those systems should also be used to save lives by locating AEDs.

A registry of all accessible AEDs should be made available to emergency call-takers, who could advise persons calling emergency services as to where the nearest defibrillator is located. Where possible, the registry should also be made directly available to members of the public.

It should however be taken into consideration that:

—some defibrillators are not accessible on a round-the-clock basis, since they might be located in places that are closed at specific times (offices, shops, schools, etc.);

—in some instances, such as in large buildings, the address of the defibrillator might not be sufficient to find it quickly. Location information should therefore also include important details such as the floor level;

—information that defibrillators are in proper working order is also very important. For instance, modern defibrillators are now able to communicate battery power status.

Information provided in the registry should be made available in two ways:

—by fitting AEDs with Galileo chipsets so that their exact position can be accurately tracked, and

—by manually adding details for AEDs that are not equipped with chipsets.

The project will demonstrate the added value of Galileo in saving lives. Due to its performance in terms of accuracy and signal availability, Galileo will help reduce intervention time for victims of heart attacks, bearing in mind that every minute lost before chest compression or defibrillation lowers survival rate by 10%.

The central objective of the pilot project is therefore to:

—analyse the best possible way of developing, organising and managing a registry of publicly accessible AEDs, taking advantage of the location information provided by Galileo;

—find an alternative solution to a registry, based on Galileo.

Remarks

The objective of the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) is to support the development of actions and technologies in the field of defence. Union support will be granted only for cooperative projects involving at least three undertakings from at least two Member States. The projects will be selected in accordance with the comitology procedure and will be fully consistent with the Union capability priorities defined by Member States. As regards the development of prototypes, the Union financing will only support a proportion of total costs, whilst remaining costs will normally be covered by Member States. For other actions or technologies, the Union financing can cover up to total costs. The definitive proportion of costs covered by the Union budget was decided in the work programme adopted by the Commission on 19 March 2019. The EDIDP applies only for two years: 2019 and 2020, as regards commitment appropriations.

Remarks

In order to ensure that the rules on competition concerning agreements, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices (Article 101 TFEU), abuses of a dominant position (Article 102 TFEU), aids granted by States (Articles 107 and 108 TFEU) and concentrations between undertakings (Regulation (EC) No 139/2004) are enforced, the Commission is empowered to take decisions, to conduct investigations and to impose penalties or order recovery.

The Commission’s decisions are subject to review by the Court of Justice of the European Union in accordance with the TFEU.

As a prudential measure, it is appropriate to take into account the possibility of budgetary implications stemming from rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

This appropriation is intended to cover any expenditure arising from damages awarded by the Court of Justice of the European Union to claimants and resulting from legal proceedings against the Commission’s decisions in the field of competition.

Since a reasonable estimate of the financial impact on the general budget cannot be established beforehand, a token entry (‘p.m.’) appears in this article. If necessary, the Commission will propose to make available the appropriations related to actual needs by means of transfers or through a draft amending budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in less developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. The catching-up process for these economically and socially lagging regions requires long-term sustained efforts. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is less than 75 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Promotion of equality between women and men horizontally and through specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in the 2014-2020 programming period in a new category of region (‘transition regions’) that replaces the 2007-2013 phasing-out and phasing-in system. This category of regions includes all regions with a GDP per capita between 75 and 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market. Special attention should be paid to non-discrimination in the labour market, combating the feminisation of poverty, access to education and affordable childcare services.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Social Fund (ESF) support under the Investment for growth and jobs goal in more developed regions in the 2014-2020 programming period. While interventions in the less developed regions will remain the priority for cohesion policy, this appropriation is thus intended to cover important challenges that concern all Member States such as global competition in the knowledge-based economy, the shift towards the low-carbon economy and social polarisation exacerbated by the current economic climate. This category of regions concerns those regions whose GDP per capita is above 90 % of the average GDP of the EU-27.

Gender mainstreaming and gender equality specific actions should be part of the support provided by the ESF, in order to improve the employability of women and their participation in the labour market.

To achieve the general objectives of EaSI, in particular to promote workers’ geographical mobility and boost employment opportunities by developing Union labour markets that are open and accessible to all, the specific objectives of the EURES axis are to:

—ensure that job vacancies and applications, and any related information as well as working conditions and rights are transparent for the potential applicants and the employers; this shall be achieved through their exchange and dissemination at transnational, interregional and cross-border level using standard interoperability forms,

—help ensure that European-level job vacancies and mobility options are advertised in parallel to national job vacancies and applications and not only after local or national options are exhausted,

—develop services for the recruitment and placing of workers in employment through the clearance of job vacancies and applications at European level; this shall cover all phases of placement, ranging from pre-recruitment preparation to post-placement assistance, including language skill development options, with a view to the applicant’s successful integration into the labour market; such services shall include targeted mobility schemes to fill job vacancies where labour market shortcomings have been identified or help particular groups of workers such as young people,

—provide assistance for national and cross-border support activities organised by EURES partners,

—initial and further training of EURES advisers in the Member States,

—contacts between EURES advisers and cooperation between government employment services, including those of candidate countries,

—promotion of EURES among firms and the general public,

—development of special structures for cooperation and services in border regions pursuant to point (b) of Article 17(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68,

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

This programme should also facilitate the matching and placement of apprentices and trainees as a critical element in helping the transition of young people from school to work, as already begun under the preparatory action ‘Your first EURES job’ and complemented by the Youth Employment Initiative. Companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will be encouraged to recruit more young people, including by financial support.

Target groups are:

—young people up to 30 years of age, regardless of their qualifications and work experience, as the scheme is not exclusively tailored for labour market entrants,

—all legally established businesses, particularly SMEs, to assist with reducing the costs of international hiring that affect mostly smaller companies.

Eligible jobs under this part of the programme will offer young people apprenticeships, a first work experience or specialised jobs. The scheme will not support situations of job substitution or precarious employment, or in any circumstances be contrary to national labour law.

To be eligible for funding, jobs have also to comply with the following criteria:

—be located in a EURES member country other than the country of origin of the young job-seeker (transnational vacancies),

—ensure a work placement for a minimum contractual period of 6 months.

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 points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

In addition support could be provided to actions related to the implementation of the common provisions of EaSI such as monitoring, evaluation, dissemination of results and communication. Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013 describes the types of actions which may be financed.

Remarks

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

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

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

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

—build up the institutional capacity of microcredit providers,

—support the development of social enterprises.

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.

Remarks

The report ‘Working for a Brighter Future - Global Commission on the Future of Work’ (ILO, 2019) [1] calls for the creation of a Universal Labour Guarantee to uphold the fundamental rights of all workers, regardless of the nature of their employment relationship, including a ‘living wage’, an upper limit on working hours and guaranteed safety and health at work.

The existence of a national minimum wage, established through collective bargaining and agreements, is central to the establishment of the Universal Labour Guarantee, helping to improve workers' conditions, promote societal development and overturn policies that, in recent years, have been leading to precariousness, lower wages and increased inequality.

In order to promote national minimum wage schemes more effectively as a tool for economic and social development, Eurofound should examine the different realities in the Member States, as well as the impact of this instrument on employment rates, workers' qualifications, precariousness levels, the development of Member States and other factors considered relevant.

The pilot project will be implemented in such a way that it does not overlap with the existing or ongoing studies that will be used for preparation of the impact assessment for the forthcoming initiative on minimum wages. On the basis of the information available, the pilot project will bring added value and will complement existing work under the initiative by, for example, mapping developments in the minimum wage setting institutions.

[1] The recommendations are intended to strengthen and revitalise labour institutions. From employment regulations and contracts to collective bargaining and labour inspection systems, these institutions are the cornerstone of just societies, paving the way towards formalisation, reducing labour poverty and guaranteeing a future of work with dignity, economic security and equality. Under a Universal Labour Guarantee, the fundamental rights of all workers, regardless of their contractual agreement or employment status, must be respected, ensuring them ‘an adequate living wage’ (ILO Constitution, 1919), limits on their working hours and safe and healthy workplaces. Collective agreements or laws and regulations may raise the basic level of protection. This proposal also allows for the recognition of occupational safety and health as fundamental principles and rights at the workplace.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to demonstrate solidarity towards, and to support workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world patterns due to globalisation, as a result of the continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to provide financial support for their rapid reintegration into sustainable employment.

The actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund and there must be no double funding from these instruments. EGF-supported actions or measures should aim to ensure that the largest possible number of beneficiaries participating in these actions find sustainable employment as soon as possible before the final report is due.

The rules for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the EGF are laid down in point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (OJ C 373, 20.12.2013, p. 1).

Assigned revenue received under Item 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 11 800 000.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to provide time-limited 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. It is applicable to all applications submitted up to 31 December 2013. For applications submitted between 1 May 2009 and 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 actions undertaken by the EGF should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund. There must be no double funding from these instruments.

Remarks

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

To ensure continuity between the two programmes, expenditure shall be eligible for a support from a FEAD operational programme if it is incurred by a beneficiary and paid between 1 December 2013 and 31 December 2023.

The FEAD shall promote social cohesion, enhance social inclusion and therefore ultimately contribute to the objective of eradicating poverty in the Union by contributing to achieving the poverty reduction target of at least 20 million of the number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion in accordance with the Europe 2020 strategy, whilst complementing the Structural Funds. Since the proportion of women at risk of poverty or social exclusion is higher than is the case for men, FEAD will take a gender-sensitive approach by adapting measures to the groups actually at risk, including women and the elderly, migrants, and minorities (including marginalised communities such as the Roma). FEAD shall contribute to achieving the specific objective of alleviating and eradicating the worst forms of poverty, by providing non-financial assistance to the most deprived persons by food and/or basic material assistance, and social inclusion activities aiming at the social integration of the most deprived persons.

This objective and the results of the implementation of the FEAD shall be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed.

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

The resources for the FEAD available for budgetary commitment for the 2014-2020 period shall be EUR 3 395 684 880 in 2011 prices.

Poverty is a multidimensional problem and tackling it should become a primary goal. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on poverty in all strategies, as poverty is a complex problem with many causes. Most importantly, it also has a great impact not only on the present but also on the future. People who experience poverty, especially children, are at greater risk of not succeeding in later life and of being excluded from society.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action prepares implementation of the common agricultural policy (CAP) post-2020 and complements the previous Smart Eco Social Villages pilot project (2016) and the preparatory action ‘Smart rural areas in the 21st century’ (2018). It helps inform and improve the development and implementation of CAP strategic plans for which the notion of ‘Smart Villages’ is included in a result indicator. Complementing the pilot project on Smart Eco-Social Villages and the preparatory action ‘Smart rural areas in the 21st century’, this preparatory action provides knowledge, know-how and a framework methodology for developing support schemes for Smart Villages in a wider range of socio-economic contexts. It uses the lessons learned and knowledge obtained from initiatives provided for in the EU Action for Smart Villages (https://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/sites/agriculture/files/rural-development-2014-2020/looking-ahead/rur-dev-small-villages_en.pdf). As the new CAP is meant to increase subsidiarity, such work is a fundamental prerequisite for ensuring appropriate implementation of this aspect of rural development. The goal of the preparatory action is to implement successful practices in a number of Member States, including in the field of ICT and online methods such as the setting up of digital hubs and other good examples. It also sets up a network of sample villages (and people dealing with smart villages) in order to create a coherent methodological framework for Union support for Smart Villages. This concept is closely linked to the Digital Single Market, digital platforms, urban-rural links, the sharing and collaborative economy and the bioeconomy (innovation, precision farming, environmental management, renewable energies, supply chain, services, local food), improving quality of life, education and employment, as well as taking account of the importance of women and young people. It could also help inform implementation of other European Structural and Investment Funds, in particular under the policy objective for local initiatives.

These goals are fully in line with the Cork Declaration 2.0, as well as the Bled declaration, which recognize the importance of enabling access to appropriate technologies and solutions in order to deliver economic, social and environmental benefits.

The action focuses on developing a method to promote growth and jobs in rural areas through concrete actions on the basis of selected villages with common features — infrastructure, various resources, services, and access to markets. It develops methods for offering solutions in the fields of:

—the Digital Single Market,

—urban-rural links,

—the bioeconomy and circular economy (innovation, precision farming, environmental management, local renewable energies, supply chain, services, local food),

—sharing and collaborative economy (e.g. new rural mobility solutions such as car sharing and ride sharing; new paradigms in tourism; sharing and exchange of agricultural machinery and services),

—technology (e.g. the Internet of Things, big data collection, drones, electric vehicles, and next-generation mobile broadband connections),

—social aspects,

—new full-time and part-time jobs, which will expand in the types of economy referred to.

This preparatory action is well documented through online platforms in order to disseminate the results. As an important outcome, it provides lighthouse examples that will ensure better and more effective programming of Union funds in rural areas.

Remarks

While Union legislation has been developed over the years to ensure sustainable use of pesticides, there are still many gaps in its implementation at Member State level and farmers say that replacing pesticides is difficult and costly or that alternatives do not exist.

Building on the findings of the recent Commission evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides (OJ L 309, 24.11.2009, p. 71) (COM(2017) 587 final), the study will assess integrated pest management (IPM) measures taken in each of the Member States, including farmland managed under IPM, and possibly classify them by type of crops. It will collect evidence of pesticide use reduction and gather information on the practices applied. The project will develop a toolbox to enable farmers and farmers’ advisers to achieve the policy aim of significantly reducing pesticide dependency. The toolbox should describe, for a large number of crops, the protocols to be applied for IPM, including the alternatives to chemical pesticides. The study will identify and propose effective approaches, beginning with the modification of farming practices, using rotation wherever possible, followed by the introduction, where appropriate, of resilient and resistant crop varieties and the use of beneficial insects and alternative pesticides, etc. Alternatives should be tailored to local conditions.

The project, costing an estimated EUR 1 500 000 over two years, will take into account inter alia the experiences gained from work done by the International Organisation for Biological Control (IOBC), the International Biocontrol Manufacturer Association (IBMA) and organisations working with farmers on different agronomic approaches and IPM.

The study will contain an analysis of how well common agricultural policy (CAP) tools are promoting IPM among farmers. It will also propose how to scale up practices throughout Europe, with the help of the post-2020 CAP instruments (e.g. farm advisory services informing farmers how to apply IPM) and the CAP green architecture to encourage farmers to apply the principles of IPM. IPM.

The study will also investigate the obstacles (real or perceived) seen by farmers and experts that limit dissemination and uptake of IPM in the field.

In accordance with Article 14 of Directive 2009/128/EC, Member States are to take all necessary measures to promote low pesticide-input pest management, giving wherever possible priority to non-chemical methods, so that professional users of pesticides switch to practices and products with the lowest risk to human health and the environment among those available for the same pest problem.

The Commission’s evaluation of Directive 2009/128/EC states that Integrated Pest Management is a cornerstone of the Directive, and it is therefore of particular concern that Member States have not yet set clear targets and ensured their implementation, including for the more widespread use of land management techniques such as crop rotation.

It also notes that Member States need to develop clearly defined criteria so that they can assess systematically whether the eight principles of IPM are implemented, and take appropriate enforcement measures if this is not the case. Such tools could confirm that the intended outcome of IPM as specified in the Directive, a reduction of the dependency on pesticide use, is being achieved.

Both the Agriculture Council (on 6 November 2017) and the European Parliament (on 13 November 2017) have discussed the findings in the Commission’s report and confirmed their commitment to ensuring deeper and meaningful implementation in the future.

This project will help farmers and Member States to begin applying IPM consistently, and reduce farmers’ dependence on pesticides.

As stated by the Commission, a budget of at least EUR 1 500 000 is necessary in order to implement the project successfully. The pilot project will generate results that can be incorporated into the research project ‘Stepping up integrated pest management’ and can contribute to gathering information on how IPM is currently applied on the ground, and will be useful for Member States in designing their CAP plans.

This ongoing pilot project, with a view to becoming a preparatory action, has been successfully reassessed and its budget increased. The budget increase was requested by the Commission and stakeholders in order to ensure optimum implementation. The increase makes up for the budget cuts made in connection with the compromise package in 2018 on pilot projects and preparatory actions

Remarks

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

This pilot project will establish an operational programme that will create added value and be adapted to livestock sectors, particularly the milk and beef sectors, in order to deal with issues concerning local and family agriculture.

As with existing operational programmes in the fruit and vegetable sector, it aims to improve the structuring, competitiveness and resilience of these sectors by guaranteeing farmers a fair, stable income irrespective of the distribution of production, rising production costs and price fluctuations.

The pilot project is needed in order to counter the alarming reduction in the number of farms being handed on, which is putting local and family agriculture in jeopardy. Such small-scale farms have low profitability, which makes banks unwilling to support projects for handing on farms because of a lack of financial viability.

The pilot project has three main objectives:

Objective 1 — Structuring of the sector:

—increasing producers’ level of organisation and strengthening their position in the interprofessional chain by financing projects to improve production planning,

—improving the quality, commercial exploitation and promotion of products through structured dialogue with those downstream of the sector,

—supporting the modernisation of businesses, fast product adaptation, innovation in production methods and crisis prevention,

—supporting environmental protection measures and environmentally-friendly production methods (organic farming).

Objective 2 — Income stabilisation

Establishing a creative sectoral approach through the introduction of two tools available under the common agricultural policy:

—a contractual mechanism for sharing added value, and

—the development of a financial stabilisation instrument for producer income.

The aim is to enable producers to overcome price volatility and be assured a fair, stable income which will boost the sustainability of their undertakings.

Objective 3 — Creation of a fund for future financing

Some of the added value created at sector level can be reinvested — alongside the public support received — in establishing an innovative fund to guarantee the long-term financing necessary for setting up or handing on farms.

—The approach adopted

The approach taken by the pilot project is to improve coherence between various European measures by establishing a sectoral operational programme. It follows the approach of more result-orientated public policies.

The project will strengthen the cohesion between the upstream and downstream parts of the sector and promote new synergies through structured dialogue between all components of the sector by enhancing production value by means of a list of specifications for optimising added value when products are placed on the market, the management of price volatility and guaranteeing supplies through generational renewal.

The sustainability of farms will no longer rely only on individual producers but on a common approach that will help create positive market momentum. The pilot project will therefore generate momentum, beyond the milk and meat sectors, which can be transferred to other local sectors as part of a region’s collective economic development strategy.

It will act as a driver for regional development and for meeting challenges relating to the economy (breeder revenues and increased value of local products), society (job creation, making family farms sustainable), the environment (production conditions), land-use planning (handing on farms, territorial development) and tourism (short supply chains).

—Assessment

An assessment will be carried out after two years to determine:

(1)the added value and effectiveness of the sectoral operational programme in terms of the objectives;

(2)the interprofessional dynamics at work and their possible extension to other agri-food sectors in the area;

(3)the benefit of experience gained in coordinating CAP tools within an operational programme and the added value derived by small family farms from land facing similar problems;

(4)the relevance of sustaining the pilot project by means of a preparatory action with the aim of adopting a similar tool under the CAP.

Remarks

This objective of ‘Creating an environment more conducive to private investment for transport infrastructure projects’ aims to implement the projects of common interest through financial instruments, based on an ex ante assessment as required by Article 224 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1268/2012 of 29 October 2012 on the rules of application of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (OJ L 362, 31.12.2012, p. 1). In accordance with Article 21(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013, from 10 % to 20 % of the financial envelope for CEF transport will be available for innovative financing instruments such as the Project Bonds Instrument, the Loan Guarantee Instrument and other instruments such as joint ventures and the equity instruments to combine public and private financial resources to accelerate infrastructure investments in Europe. The financial instruments are intended to facilitate access to private financing and thus to accelerate or to make possible financing of the TEN-T projects eligible under the TEN-T guidelines and Regulation (EU) No 1316/2013. The financial instruments are intended to be established as ‘debt’ or ‘equity’ frameworks and they should address specific market failures and provide appropriate financing solutions. They are intended to be implemented as direct management by the entrusted entities, within the meaning of the Financial Regulation or jointly with the entrusted entities. The entrusted entities must be accredited to provide guarantees to the Commission on the protection of the Union financial interests in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Regulation.

Any repayment from financial instruments pursuant to Article 209(3) of the Financial Regulation, including capital repayments, guarantees released and repayment of the principal of loans, paid back to the Commission and entered in Item 6 4 1 1 of the statement of revenues may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with point (f) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the development of a reference framework on carbon footprint measurement, certification and reduction, modal shift policy including the outstanding actions under the former Marco Polo programme, Motorways of the Sea, multimodal and combined transport, digitalisation of the transport and logistics sector and supporting standardisation and harmonisation of equipment.

Maritime safety

This appropriation is intended to cover monitoring, evaluation and revision (impact assessment) of Union legislation on maritime safety, protecting the maritime environment and promoting qualifications and working conditions for seafarers.

Passenger rights

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on monitoring, evaluation, revision and raising awareness actions of Union legislation on passenger rights.

In connection with Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, the Commission needs to develop additional measures to make enforcement of that Regulation more efficient. The implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 and Council Regulation (EC) No 2027/97 of 9 October 1997 on air carrier liability in the event of accidents (OJ L 285, 17.10.1997, p. 1) needs also to be ensured.

The implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 requires specific implementation action to ensure its correct application and enforcement in the Member States due to the complex interaction of regional, national and international (COTIF) administrative structures involved in the implementation.

The implementation of Regulation (EU) No 1177/2010 requires specific implementation actions to ensure its correct application and enforcement in the Member States and the compliance by Member States with their legal reporting obligations towards the Commission.

The implementation of Regulation (EU) No 181/2011 requires specific implementation actions in order to ensure its correct application and enforcement in the Member States and the compliance by Member States with their legal reporting obligations towards the Commission.

As an important implementation support measure the Commission conducts targeted actions covering some or all Member States to raise public awareness on passenger rights. Nearly one third of Union citizens are aware of their rights and obligations when buying a ticket to travel (31 %), although 59 % are said to be unaware of them (Eurobarometer on passenger rights 2014).

These actions and objectives could be supported at different levels (local, regional, national, European and international), for all transport modes and sectors and related to transport, as well as in technical, technological, regulatory, informative, environmental, climatic and political fields and for sustainable development.

Air transport has long been one of the sectors in which the consumer authorities receive most complaints in the Union. The increase in the number of commercial transactions performed electronically (using the internet or a mobile telephone) has merely resulted in more breaches of Union consumer legislation.

One of the main complaints by Union consumers is that there are no effective means of redress at airports themselves, particularly when disputes arise as a result of failure on the part of airlines and other service providers to meet their obligations. Union consumers and air transport authorities therefore need to work together to secure an immediate improvement in passenger support and information facilities at airports and, at the same time, step up co-regulation in the sector.

Road safety

The Commission communication of 20 July 2010 entitled ‘Towards a European road safety area: policy orientations on road safety 2011-2020’ (COM(2010) 389 final) presents seven objectives: road user education, enforcement of traffic rules, safe infrastructure, safe vehicles, use of modern technology, post-injury emergency responses and a special focus on vulnerable road users. Work continues on the Commission’s proposal, on the regular update of the Union law on driving licences, and on the revision of the rules on qualification and training for professional drivers, on the follow-up to the Directives 2014/45/EU, 2014/46/EU and 2014/47/EU, as well as towards a strategy on serious road traffic injuries. The Commission’s road safety work also includes the management of the European Road Safety Charter, the management of rules relating to the transport of dangerous goods, the maintenance of a European database on road accidents — Community Road Accident Database (CARE), the follow-up on the infrastructure management and tunnel safety directives and on various aspects of vulnerable road user safety. The implementation of the policy orientations 2011-2020 also requires specific implementation action for the exchange of good practices, road safety campaigns, calls for proposals and development of the road safety observatory; as well as the evaluations of options for making the road safety in the Union work more effectively and efficiently in the future.

This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure on communication activities and on public events such as the annual European Road Safety Day and similar awareness-raising and citizen interaction initiatives.

It is also intended to establish efficient cross-border cooperation between Member States concerning the enforcement of road safety related traffic offences.

Land transport

The main activities in the land transport area concern the implementation and review of existing policies, enhancing sectoral cooperation and the planning of new initiatives. Among others, this includes activities in areas such as infrastructure charging, market access, social rules (including their enforcement), technical rules, safety rules and international aspects (land transport relations with third countries and international organisations dealing with land transport issues). All these activities require close cooperation with stakeholders.

Rail market

The full implementation of the Directive 2012/34/EU and Regulation (EU) No 913/2010 are key priorities to encourage competitiveness of railways. The legislation aims to open rail markets, improve the interoperability and safety of rail services and thus encourage the development of integrated rail system leading to a Single European Rail Area. In addition, the Commission services are reinforcing international transport cooperation on railway policy.

Encouraging sectoral cooperation is essential for effective implementation of Union rail legislation. Directive 2012/34/EU provides for the creation of the European Network of Rail Regulatory Bodies (ENRRB) and of the European Network of Infrastructure Managers (Platform of Rail Infrastructure Managers in Europe, PRIME). Informal cooperation frameworks have been established for railway undertakings (RUs) to share experience at Union level (RU Dialogue) and Ministries (Rail Directors Meetings). Equally, cooperation with third countries (the Gulf countries, China, Iran, Japan, Brazil, etc.) is important part of promoting Union’s rail industry worldwide.

In this context, this appropriation is intended to cover the initiatives and the work of cooperation platforms that contribute to timely implementation of Single European Rail Area and addressing its future developments and international cooperation.

Ports and inland navigation

This appropriation is intended to cover development, monitoring, evaluation and revision (impact assessment) of Union legislation and policy on ports and inland navigation.

Single European Sky

The full implementation of the Single European Sky (four basic Regulations (EC) No 549/2004, (EC) No 550/2004, (EC) No 551/2004 and (EC) No 552/2004, and more than 20 implementing rules) is a key priority to improve the performance of the air navigation services in terms of safety, cost efficiency of the air navigation service provision, reduction of air traffic flow delays and environmental performance, and hence of air transport in Europe.

Implementing the Single European Sky and Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research (SESAR) project, its technological pillar with the assistance of the SESAR Joint Undertaking, the SESAR Deployment Manager and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) are also priorities in the Union’s Aviation Strategy adopted in 2015.

The implementation of the performance scheme of the Single European Sky with the assistance of the Performance Review Body (PRB) is pursued under this article, with the assistance of EASA and Eurocontrol.

In this context, promoting the Single European Sky and the initiatives that contribute to its timely implementation, including through the involvement and consultation of stakeholders (Industry Consultation Body, National Supervisory Authorities Coordinating Platform and European Group on the Human Dimension), as well as addressing its future development are also important activities for the Commission and are pursued under this article.

Aviation safety, environment and cooperation with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)

The use of several legislative tools are important to ensure the safety of European Aviation to ensure the achievement of an environmentally sustainable growth and protect Union citizens when travelling outside of the Union.

Pursuant to Articles 3 to 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission may impose total bans or partial restrictions on air carriers from third countries coming to the Union. In that context and in accordance with Article 3(4) of Regulation (EC) No 473/2006, the Commission, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and experts from the Member States may carry out assessment missions to conduct on-the-spot checks and to identify safety deficiencies of the air carriers and the authorities responsible for their oversight. The cost of on-site assessment visits for national experts needs to be reimbursed by the Union.

There is a clear need to complement these missions with more positive and preventive actions as well as with ex post technical cooperation to assist the countries concerned by the ban or restrictions to correct the deficiencies. In addition, the Commission and EASA have as their objective the promotion of the highest standards of aviation safety across the world.

In this context, the large-scale Union projects in the area of civil aviation cooperation managed by other Directorates-General (NEAR, DEVCO and FPI), which can only be implemented on a long-term basis, do not provide an immediate answer to short-term needs.

The objective of this initiative is therefore to complement the existing instruments by establishing a flexible tool to implement ad hoc preventive and assistance (corrective) actions in favour of the national authorities responsible for the oversight of air carriers affected by the Union ban within the Union. The actions envisaged are small-scale and short-term activities.

Since the framework service contract concluded between EASA and MOVE in 2009 proved to be an effective and efficient tool to carry out technical assistance, the contract with EASA was renewed for the period 2013-2016 and a new framework contract is under preparation for the period 2017-2020.

In addition, Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 provides for the establishment of a European Network of Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authorities (Encasia). Encasia is required to develop actions in order to further improve the quality of investigations conducted by safety investigation authorities and to enhance accident prevention in the Union. Pursuant to that Regulation, the Commission is associated with Encasia’s work and needs to provide Encasia with the necessary support.

Finally, the Memorandum of Cooperation between the Union and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) covers areas of aviation for which both the Commission and the ICAO have responsibilities (i.e. safety, environment, air traffic management and aviation security). This strengthened cooperation will ensure the indispensable participation in and contribution to ICAO initiatives in several key aviation policy areas which are being pursued at the global level. This includes the initiative to strengthen the safety of international aviation on a worldwide basis, or the development and implementation of measures with regard to the environmental impact of aviation which are acceptable worldwide. It aims to ensure that Union interests (including of an industrial nature, for example in the area of the definition of worldwide technical standards) are better taken into consideration by ICAO. Through the agreement, ICAO will also be brought to accept, support and enhance the increasingly important role which regional organisations play in the current and future development of international aviation.

Sustainable and intelligent transport, including in urban areas

This appropriation is intended to support policy and strategy development and implementation, as well as the implementation of Directives and the related delegated and implementing acts.

Social issues

This appropriation is intended to cover horizontal social issues. To reduce the risk of labour shortages, it will support actions aiming at attracting more workers to the transport sector, bearing in mind the effects of automation (a third of transport workers are over 50 years old). It will also support actions bringing more gender balance to the sector (transport remains male dominated with only 22 % of female workers and less than 3 % in technical positions).

Youth mobility

This appropriation is intended to implement actions related to the mobility of young people in order to reinforce their knowledge and appreciation of other Union cultures by encouraging them to travel in a multi-modal, sustainable way. To this end, the Commission will, among other actions, promote travelling schemes and related campaigning actions and web portals.

Remarks

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

The tachograph, which has been mandatory since 1985, is the cornerstone of road transport legislation, in particular for monitoring vehicle speed, distance travelled and driver work and rest times. Over the years, as the technology has progressed, successive generations of tachograph have incorporated new features which have gradually made the controls and fraud prevention more effective. The latest ‘smart tachograph’ is expected to provide real-time information by connecting satellite navigation systems and enforcement authorities.

According to a study commissioned by the European Parliament in 2018, retrofitting smart tachographs in all heavy-duty vehicles by 2020 is estimated to cost between EUR 6 400 000 000 and EUR 15 900 000 000 just for the purchase of the device and the labour associated with the retrofit.

Given the widespread use of smartphones and the continuous expansion of their functions, as well as the deployment of Galileo and the opportunities it offers in terms of real-time localisation, which many mobiles already use, the pilot project explores the possibility of developing and certifying a mobile application offering the same benefits as the smart tachograph, and the associated costs.

The feasibility study will be structured as follows:

(1)identifying, in accordance with the revised Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 February 2014 on tachographs in road transport, repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and amending Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport (OJ L 60, 28.2.2014, p. 1), which data the application should collect so as to function as a smart tachograph;

(2)assessing the technical feasibility of an application to collect this data, possibly using Galileo or by means of a direct connection with the vehicle, and the technical requirements for real-time transmission of the data to the authorities;

(3)assessing the risk of fraud and the potential cybersecurity threat connected with the application;

(4)assessing the hardware and software security measures to be implemented in the smartphone in order to mitigate the risks identified in point 3;

(5)providing an estimate of the cost of developing and certifying such an application;

Remarks

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

This preparatory action will develop a user-friendly tool (online/app) enabling motorists (i.e. both professional and non-professional drivers) to be fully informed about urban and regional access regulation schemes.

The information will include: geographical scope, access conditions (vehicle type, time (including temporary restrictions with links to real-time information sources, etc.), tariffs (prices and validity), payment options, enforcement policies, penalties and appeal procedures etc., both for a country’s own nationals and foreign nationals, with the possibility of information pushes at users' request

Consideration may also be given to including accompanying measures such as park-and-ride facilities and freight consolidation.

The tool will primarily be targeted at private users (in parallel with existing platforms with information on passengers’ rights), but it could also include specific information for professional users (e.g. road haulage companies) and links to navigation and routing platforms.

The second year of implementation of the preparatory action will focus on extending it to enable road users to be fully informed about urban and regional access schemes by working on the enablers needed, i.e. standardisation and data provision for the integration of information into navigation tools.

The preparatory action will consist of three stages:

1.Work on an Urban Vehicle Access Regulations template in the context of the Digital Single Gateway Regulation.

2.Work on data by working with DATEX experts, etc.

3.Development of demonstrators.

Remarks

This project will provide easily accessible information on environmental performance in aviation, ideally from a neutral and independent source, to the travelling public and people living near airports.

In the same way that European citizens are informed about organic products, passengers will be informed about the green record of aircraft and airlines. The project will look into the green record of individual aircraft (noise and emissions) and carriers (greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter emissions, offsetting, sustainable (‘bio’) fuels and aircraft noise) as well as operational measures.

The main activities will focus on developing governance, metrics, communication design and the eco-portal, which is an existing IT platform that will be expanded to include emissions, fleet and operational data to support the label scheme.

The scheme will also allow airports to rank airlines by environmental performance so as to provide local incentives.

Remarks

This pilot project will be implemented in the form of a study; it will be designed to ensure the best interconnection between city centres and airports. While some airports are located at the close periphery of some big cities, some smaller airports are sometimes far away. Urban mobility should be investigated as a possible solution for shortage of infrastructure capacity while taking into account the environmental dimension, such as local air quality and noise. Traffic management as well as other technological options will also be assessed.

The study will also address the issue of long distance high speed railway connections to/between airports and urban areas.

Pilot project — Capacity for the greening of European sea ports

CommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPayments

Remarks

One approach taken by port authorities that has recently been gaining momentum has been to determine a set of development activities and investments which would both create the appropriate technical and organisational set-up for future port operations and take into account various social and environmental requirements to maintain or improve the level of quality delivered in those two areas. The project will present the research that has been conducted into the level of awareness and behaviour of European ports in the field of sustainable development, and as regards the Green Port Concept (GPC) in particular. A hypothesis has been formulated that incorporation of the GPC into the development strategy for European sea ports will improve their environmental relationship and make them more competitive. The survey results will make it possible to identify the approach to be taken for the development of green ports and undertake research into assembling a package of instruments that will support those activities. It will therefore be possible to target the development strategies of European sea ports in line with the GPC.

Outcome/possible evolution of the project

Due to the wide range of potential uses of the research results, the authors have plans for a series of activities to publicise them, including a report on the quantitative survey, a series of scientific articles and a monograph.

Innovative/experimental nature of the project

The authors of the project will conduct a survey - the first of its kind in Europe - of the perception of Union port authorities’ activities in the area of sustainable development of the GPC. The interdependence of actions undertaken and economic performance of sea port will then be studied. The new knowledge gained under the project will establish a new, complex and interdisciplinary approach to the organisation and operation of a sea port for business implementation. Moreover, any port will be able to be assessed as to the extent to which it is already implementing the green port concept and, subsequently, as to what type of actions should be taken to take the right approach and proceed with greening of the port. This should be the basis for further development of Green Port assessments, with appropriate measurements and values according to the GPC goals.

The maritime sector is witnessing heightened activity focusing on the sustainable development of sea ports. This activity covers the two main areas of their external operations, i.e. reducing the negative environmental impact of port investment and operational activity, and the relationship of ports with their surroundings. The social responsibility of sea ports is a factor which can make a difference, especially in the latter area. At the same time, port management bodies and municipal authorities are increasingly showing interest in both of these areas. The ‘greenness’ of ports and their community relations are verified each year in competitions and ranking tables (e.g. Green Port Awards).

Societal challenges

Remarks

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

Funding will be focused on the following challenges:

—smart, green and integrated transport,

—innovation and research, particularly in the areas of behavioural change, modal shift, accessibility for all, integration (interconnectivity, intermodality, interoperability) and sustainability (climate change, gas and noise emission reduction), which are of crucial importance for the transport and tourism sectors.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover research and innovation actions that should substantially contribute to shifting transport into a new era of smart mobility. Actions under this item should support the development and take-up of the necessary solutions for all transport modes, drastically reducing transport emissions that are harmful to the environment, lowering the dependence of transport on fossil fuels, and hence reducing transport impact on biodiversity and preserve natural resources. This is expected to be achieved by investing in specific activities, particularly in the form of large public-private partnerships, such as making aircraft, trains, vehicles and vessels cleaner and quieter, developing smart equipment, infrastructure and services and improving transport and mobility in urban areas.

Research and innovation carried under this item is expected to make important contributions to optimise performance and efficiency in the face of growing demands for mobility. Actions under this item will also focus on substantially reducing traffic congestion, substantially improving the mobility of people and freight, developing and applying new concepts of freight transport and logistics and reducing accident rates and fatal casualties and improving security. Actions under this item are indeed intended to contribute to making Europe the safest region for aviation and to move towards the target of zero fatalities in road transport by 2050.

Research and innovation is expected to play a significant role in achieving global leadership for the European transport industry and contributing to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, staying ahead in new technologies and reducing the costs of existing manufacturing processes, therefore contributing to economic growth and highly skilled jobs in the European transport industry. In this context, actions to develop the next generation of transport means and explore entirely new transport concepts are expected to be developed and covered by this appropriation.

Socioeconomic research and forward-looking activities for policymaking will also be covered by this appropriation: actions to support policy analysis and development including on socioeconomic aspects of transport are necessary to promote innovation and meet the challenges raised by transport.

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

In recent years, more and more Union cities and regions have introduced low-emission zone (LEZ) policies for vehicles. Many LEZ policies are based on the Euro classification or the year of vehicle type-approval. LEZ policies generally have three implementation problems:

Firstly, LEZ policies based solely on Euro classification or type-approval date have questionable environmental effectiveness. Testing by independent parties shows that the most polluting Euro 6 diesels have higher NOx emission levels than some Euro 4 or 5 vehicles.

Vehicle emissions tests using PEMS (emission analytics) or remote sensing (CONOX programme) show that Euro 5 and pre-RDE Euro 6 vehicles are still emitting significantly more NOx under normal conditions than indicated by the laboratory tests. Only since Euro 6d (from 1 September 2017 onwards) has the RDE test been used for type-approval of new vehicles. This is expected to significantly reduce the discrepancy between type-approved and real-world emissions.

Secondly, for European motorists driving in different cities or Member States the various LEZ restrictions and urban access policies create an increasingly confusing and possibly costly situation, with motorists having to comply with different rules and needing to acquire different stickers or permits for each zone.

Thirdly, depending on how the LEZ policies are designed and implemented, cities find it difficult to ensure compliance of vehicles registered in other Member States.

A possible solution to these problems is the development of an ultra-low polluting vehicle (ULPV) scheme which identifies vehicles having good performance in terms of NOx emissions (and possibly other pollutants). Such a scheme would allow Member States, regions and cities to develop and fine-tune LEZ restrictions beyond the Euro classifications and type-approval date. The ULPV scheme could provide Member States, regions and cities with access to a harmonised system.

The pilot project has the following goals:

(1)to assess options for a ULPV scheme (including the possibility of a label) for cars that meet Euro 6 ELV requirements under normal use, tested with PEMS in an RDE test, and also including those tested during type-approval (Euro 6d-TEMP or later) or certified to that level after retrofit;

(2)to assess options for the certification and monitoring of such vehicles;

(3)to assess options for the establishment of a European information exchange system (e.g. linked to the Eucaris exchange platform) including a database with all registered ULPVs. The information exchange system would be accessible by cities, regions and Member States for implementation of LEZ policies or incentives.

Possible partners:

(1)research institutes in the field of vehicle emissions (e.g. TNO, JRC);

(2)motoring organisations (e.g. ADAC, ANWB);

(3)retrofit industry associations (e.g. CLEPA, ERECA);

(4)vehicle inspection centres (e.g. CITA);

(5)cities and urban regions or city networks (e.g. Eurocities).

The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) provide independent scientific advice to decision makers to regulate chemical and food safety in Europe. Through their respective mandates, they collect large volumes of scientific data on substances and their hazardous properties. At the same time, industry and the academic research community are creating a wealth of information on such topics as well.

However, due to legal, technical, resource-related or other constraints, these vast scientific data collections are not always fully shared or made accessible to a wider audience and have thus not yet achieved their full potential. Therefore, ECHA and EFSA are looking to increase and simplify access to the vast scientific data collections they hold, enriched with other public data and data fed by external sources.

That could be achieved through a portal including both structured and unstructured data provided by regulatory agencies, industry, academia and other parties with an interest in chemical safety. The portal should uniquely identify studies and support critical appraisal of studies, text mining, data visualisation, analysis and knowledge sharing.

The goal is to facilitate seamless sharing of data between authorities and provide public access to researchers, regulators, industry and the public at large. This will promote: (a) transparency and trust in Union decision making, (b) research and data analytics, (c) innovation, (d) less animal testing and more predictive toxicology, and (e) better regulatory decision making and informed consumer choices.

A common portal could provide:

—a registry of toxicological studies for chemical substances and regulated products. Industry-sponsored studies are available for regulatory assessment by the respective authority, but they are currently not always available to other authorities, industrial actors, the research community or the public at large,

—a repository for research and scientific data. Peer-reviewed studies are not always used to the extent that they could be in regulatory assessments, since searching for, and gaining access to, studies is resource-demanding. Scientists as well as publishers of their studies lack the fundamental interest to share data with a view to addressing regulatory questions,

—a platform for data analytics, predictive toxicology (i.e. avoidance of animal testing), better environmental monitoring, better study design, development of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications,

The pilot project takes the form of a feasibility study exploring the opportunities for such a common platform to deliver valuable benefits to the four identified key stakeholder groups (regulators, academia, industry and the public at large).

The first phase of the study focuses on feasibility analysis and the development of use cases. The following research questions will have to be tackled:

—Regulators, academia, industry and citizens are identified as the key stakeholders but what will be their roles and how will they benefit from the common portal?

—Can we learn from existing systems, e.g. EU Clinical Trials Register, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Master Record Identifiers system, the EU Open Data Portal, IPCheM, OECD eChemPortal, a potential future OECD global chemicals knowledge base, ECHA Dissemination Portal, OpenAire, and the European Open Science Cloud? Could any of these systems provide some or all of the portal functionalities?

—How can data owners share information but maintain their intellectual property rights and protection of confidential business information/trade secrets?

—How can participants be persuaded to use a common international structured data format for information exchange?

—Can information exchange be automated with laboratory systems sharing information via web services?

—How can quality control processes and critical appraisal tools be integrated within the platform?

—What could be the incentives for participation in the portal?

—How could a common platform stimulate new or improved studies and methods for chemical safety assessment?

—How could a common platform inform the Union research agenda?

The second phase of the study will develop recommendations for the Union legislative authority and for Union policy development in this area on the basis of the opportunities and threats identified.

—What basic provisions will be needed to govern a central Union platform across regulations and Union institutions?

—What are the legal barriers and can legislation act as a driver for participation and imposing a common format for delivering results?

—What would be the resource requirements for adaptation/development and maintenance of a common portal?

—What are the funding options for the adaptation/development and maintenance of a common portal?

If judged appropriate, implementation of the pilot project can be delegated to the agencies.

Bringing nature into cities and greening our neighbourhoods is one of the most underexploited ways of increasing European citizens’ quality of life. Today, 72 % of Europeans live in cities, towns and suburbs, and the urban share of the population continues to grow. As cities face an array of challenges, ranging from their impact on residents’ health to environmental concerns, green infrastructure has huge potential to offer solutions to many of these problems.

The goal is to present greening as a way of solving problems and to make the value of greening better understood. It is increasingly important to look ahead and develop a vision of the cities of tomorrow where green infrastructure plays a crucial role.

A further goal is to increase scientific knowledge and improve knowledge sharing, tools, methods and innovative approaches to enhance biodiversity and the planning and implementing of green infrastructure (including green roofs and walls and sustainable urban agriculture) in cities and improve civil society participation in decision-making. This also extends to building a vision of the green city of tomorrow together.

A truly participatory approach involves policymakers, citizens and civil society, including the elderly and children. Each of those stakeholders has different needs (recreation, mitigation of urban heat island impacts, improvement of air quality, improved human health, sustainable soft mobility, improved social cohesion, etc.). Therefore, the scientific component of the project could help to develop the scientific solutions needed to support local initiatives which enhance urban green infrastructure, benefiting those people who live in cities and improving their quality of life.

This pilot project will create and collect material, best practices and guidelines and distribute the material created to the cities, municipalities and administrators so as to help mayors start projects to improve and expand green infrastructure in cities and urban areas.

The aims of this pilot project are:

(1)to raise awareness of the benefits of green spaces in the built environment;

(2)to increase the quantity and quality of research and development for new innovations;

(3)to encourage citizens to take action to improve their own neighbourhoods;

(4)to foster a culture of appreciation of the green spaces;

(5)to increase the number of green infrastructure projects;

(6)to connect up existing initiatives and share best practices across the Member States;

(7)to create a roadmap for greening European cities by 2030;

(8)to prepare for the European Year of Greener Cities 2020.

Remarks

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

This pilot project concerns novel methods to prevent the establishment and spread of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Union in support of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (OJ L 317, 4.11.2014, p. 35) and Target 5 of the Union’s 2020 Biodiversity Strategy.

It is widely recognised that preventing invasive alien species from becoming established (i.e. effective IAS biosecurity measures) is far more cost-effective than managing and eradicating IAS once they become established. However, two significant barriers have been identified which prevent effective IAS biosecurity measures from being implemented: i) a lack of understanding by stakeholders of the importance of IAS biosecurity, and ii) a lack of understanding among natural resource managers and regulators of how to communicate the need for effective IAS biosecurity measures across various stakeholder groups.

This pilot project will introduce a series of activities which seek to: i) improve understanding among stakeholders of the importance of effective IAS biosecurity measures, and ii) improve communication among managers, regulators and stakeholders with regard to developing and implementing effective IAS biosecurity measures.

With a view to becoming a preparatory action, the pilot project will provide funding to raise awareness of the need for effective biosecurity measures across the following stakeholder groups: farmers, landowners and land managers, environmental NGOs, the horticulture industry, the exotic pet trade, recreational freshwater users (anglers and boaters), marine users (recreational boating and industrial shipping), transport infrastructure authorities (canals, railway sidings, motorway verges) and local authorities. These stakeholder groups have been identified as representing the most significant pathways for IAS in Europe.

IAS biosecurity is an issue which stakeholders generally poorly understand, but at the same time is a source of great anxiety owing to the perceived negative impact on their interests. The pilot project will build a platform to facilitate constructive communication within and between sectors on the need for, and benefits of, effective IAS biosecurity measures, as well as to share best practice for the communication, development and implementation of such measures.

Specifically, under the pilot project officers will be appointed to begin and lead a dialogue within each of the identified stakeholder groups. As the existing level of understanding among many stakeholder groups about IAS biosecurity issues is low, officers will initially determine the level of understanding and concern within each stakeholder group. Once the perception of each stakeholder group has been determined, officers will then launch a series of events, workshops and conferences, and produce accessible sector-specific material, to promote understanding and the exchange of knowledge about the issue within each sector. A secretariat will manage and oversee the work of the officers, as well as collate and develop sector-specific dialogues to identify common problems and common solutions across sectors.

As a result of these activities, the level of concern, conflict and misunderstanding around IAS biosecurity is expected to fall. What is new about this project is that it is proactive, as there have been no previous attempts to constructively engage specific sectors at pan-European level on IAS biosecurity, and collaborative, as it simultaneously addresses IAS biosecurity across related but different European sectors.

The preparatory action will support the implementation of a Union-wide monitoring scheme for wild insect pollinators in Member States and construction of associated indicators.

Pollinators are an integral part of healthy ecosystems and their dramatic decline is a serious cause for concern. In Europe, animal pollination is primarily delivered by insects: around 2 000 bee species, 900 hoverfly species, 500 butterfly species and 8 000 moth species. Other fly species, wasps and beetles also play an important pollination role. Without them, many plant species would decline and eventually disappear, with far-reaching consequences for nature and human wellbeing. In the Union, four out of five crop and wild flowering plant species depend, at least in part, on animal pollination. Up to EUR 15 billion of the Union’s annual agricultural output is directly attributed to insect pollinators; they are widely regarded as one of the most important indicators of a healthy environment.

On 1 June 2018, the Commission adopted the EU Pollinators Initiative, following calls from the European Parliament and the Council for action to tackle the widely acknowledged dramatic decline of pollinators. The initiative lays down a number of actions to address known causes of the decline, but also focuses on strengthening the knowledge base. It emphasises the importance of a systemic approach to collection of data and information on pollinators, in order to evaluate policy actions and improve their effectiveness. While in some areas there is a reasonable level of knowledge (decline of butterflies, the poor state of their habitats and the drivers of declines), knowledge gaps remain overall with regard to the status of and trends for most pollinator populations, as well as the causes and consequences of their decline. A coordinated monitoring process at Union level, powered by a standardised field data collection, will make it possible to close the critical gaps and develop robust indicators to underpin impactful Union policies for pollinators.

Pollinator indicators will in particular be essential for a new EU post-2020 biodiversity framework and the new common agricultural policy (CAP). Pollinators are a high-profile topic in the work of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, which sets a global framework of actions on biodiversity, and to which the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation actively contributes. This culminated in the first global report on pollinators issued by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in 2016. It is expected that pollinators will feature in targets for the future global biodiversity framework. Apart from the fact that pollinators represent a target on their own merit, pollinator indicators will also help measure progress towards a number of other biodiversity targets, including those relating to the EU Habitats Directive, the Natura 2000 network, agriculture and forestry.

As stipulated under Action 5C of the EU Pollinators Initiative, the Commission will include a pollinator indicator in the performance and monitoring framework of the CAP once it has been finalised and is operational. Such an indicator would be an invaluable addition to the indicator framework in the Commission proposals for the CAP 2021-2027: insect pollinators are a good proxy for wider biodiversity and an essential factor in agricultural production. Because of this dual role, pollinator indicators would be also an excellent addition to the monitoring framework for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Union, in particular Goals 15 (‘Life on land’) and 2 (‘Zero hunger’). The grassland butterfly indicator is already included in that framework and this action will help underpin the sustainability of butterfly monitoring and indicator reporting across the Union.

While the monitoring and indicators developed under the EU Pollinators Initiative address wild pollinator species, they will also greatly benefit honeybee health and the beekeeping sector. Managed and wild species share food/forage resources as well as the main pressures on their populations. Monitoring of wild species will provide not only good information about the quality of the environment for all pollinators, but also essential data for research into various pressures and their interplay. This is crucial for devising effective mitigation actions and supporting effective recovery.

Beyond this fundamental contribution to policy-making, data and information generated by the monitoring scheme would enable development of tools for land managers, in particular farmers. Data on the status of pollinator species, paired with good crop data (for example as per outputs of Action 3B of the EU Pollinators Initiative), would enable development of an atlas of pollinators and pollination or an early warning system for pollination deficit. These would help farmers, whose yields and profits essentially depend on pollinators, to make informed decisions on how to secure this agricultural input and mitigate risks relating to the decline of insect pollinators.

Furthermore, it would also enable tools for actors higher up the biomass chain, such as risk assessment and management tools for food and drink manufacturers, suppliers or retailers whose products and services depend on pollinator-dependent agricultural produce. In this way, good data and information on pollinators would support the bioeconomy agenda more broadly. The 2018 update of the Bioeconomy Strategy includes an action that would support the development of such tools, with a view to facilitating integration of pollinators into supply value chains (Action 3.3.4).

The scope of an EU pollinator monitoring scheme is expected to cover at least the main taxonomic groups: bees, hoverflies, butterflies and moths. At the moment, the only systemic Union-level monitoring of any pollinator group is conducted for butterflies in half the Member States. In 2018, the European Parliament funded the pilot project on EU butterfly monitoring and indicators (ABLE) to expand that monitoring scheme. This preparatory action will build on that pilot project to ensure full Union coverage with regard to monitoring butterflies, and will help establish the first-ever Union-level monitoring processes for other pollinator groups.

The Commission expects to launch a technical expert group in May 2019, mandated to devise an Union-wide pollinator monitoring scheme and pollinator indicators by May 2020. With a view to implementing the monitoring scheme and enabling the flow of data to build indicators as early as in 2021, it will be crucial to kick off the necessary preparations in Member States in 2020. Many Member States are expected to face challenges as regards administrative and academic capacities, meaning that successful implementation will help by focusing efforts early on.

Activities of the preparatory action:

The preparatory action will fund activities that help address challenges to Member State capacities with a view to facilitating harmonised implementation of a Union-wide monitoring scheme for insect pollinators.

Specifically, the preparatory action will support the following activities:

—Pooling of expertise at Union level, expert networking and training;

—Coordination of implementation of the scheme across Member States;

—Assistance with the preparation of administrative, financial and academic capacities in Member States;

—Assistance with initial implementation of the scheme in Member States with inadequate capacities;

—Building on and complementing the European Parliament pilot project ABLE with regard to the existing butterfly monitoring scheme.

This preparatory action will run for three years and will have a budget of EUR 5 000 000.

The objective of this preparatory action is to put in place a tool for collecting environmental data with the help of honey bees and bee products. This will enable evaluation of pollution exposure and diffusion in the environment at landscape level. It will also enable evaluation of plant diversity across landscapes.

Despite the considerable impact of various environmental pollutants, in particular pesticides, on human wellbeing and nature, there are still major data and information gaps regarding exposure. Honey bees come into contact with diverse matrices due to their biological needs and behaviour. During their wide-ranging foraging activity (up to 15 km radius) they are exposed to pollutants present in the atmosphere, soil, vegetation and water. Numerous plants are visited every day to collect nectar, secretions from sap-feeding insects, pollen and/or water, while plant gums are collected for propolis production. While flying they also come into contact with airborne particles, which stick to their body hairs or are inhaled via spiracles. Contaminants are brought back to the beehives and may be found in bee products, such as honey, wax, propolis, pollen and bee bread. Honey bees and their products could also be an excellent tool for monitoring other environmental pollutants besides pesticides, such as heavy metals, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds and sulphur dioxide.

Honey bees are already used as bioindicators of the level of environmental contamination. Studies have been performed using bees and bee products as biological monitoring instruments to measure environmental quality. Various levels of environmental monitoring with honey bees have already been described, with varying degrees of complexity and sensitivity. Prompted by concern for honey bee colony losses, beekeepers, beekeeper technicians and scientists in parts of Europe began analysing the contaminant content of bees and bee products. The results are often the same: bees are exposed to a wide variety of contaminants simultaneously and consecutively.

Furthermore, there are considerable knowledge gaps as regards plant species richness and abundance across various landscapes in the Union. Such knowledge is essential for evaluation of habitat quality as well as evaluation of pressures that different land uses may exert on habitats. Collection and analysis of pollen from beehives offers a promising avenue to gather invaluable data and information that can help to close those knowledge gaps.

Environmental data and information generated through monitoring using honey bees would support Union policies in the following areas:

—Public health and food safety;

—Plant and animal health, including bee health;

—Agriculture rural development, including beekeeping;

—Agricultural production and food security;

—Environmental protection (nature, air, water, soil);

—Biodiversity.

It would in particular support effective actions under:

—Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides;

—Regulation(EC) 1107/2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market;

—the common agricultural policy;

—EU biodiversity policy, including the EU Pollinators Initiative;

—Directive (EU) 2016/2284 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants;

—Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions.

In this way, environmental monitoring through honey bees would contribute towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Union, in particular Goals 2 (‘Zero hunger’), 3 (‘Good health and wellbeing’), 12 (‘Responsible consumption and production’), 14 (‘Life below water’) and 15 (‘Life on land’).

In 2018, the European Parliament funded the pilot project ‘Environmental monitoring of pesticide use through honey bees’. This preparatory action will build on that pilot project. It will further expand the scope to other environmental pollutants as well as monitoring of plant diversity. The preparatory action will be a citizen science project in which beekeepers will play a key role by collecting samples from beehives.

Activities of the preparatory action:

—The preparatory action will fund Union-wide implementation of the monitoring methodology currently being developed and tested by the pilot project. Furthermore, the action will look to expand the monitoring to include other environmental pollutants and plant diversity.

Specifically, activities under this preparatory action will:

—explore how to expand the monitoring protocol to include environmental pollutants besides pesticides, and develop relevant modules;

—emplement the monitoring protocol by sampling beehives across various land uses in all Member States;

—carry out chemical and pollen analysis of samples;

—develop IT infrastructure to create, store, manage, process and share data;

This preparatory action will run for three years and will have a budget of EUR 4 000 000.

Remarks

This preparatory action will evaluate the changes in biodiversity status in Europe, and at Union and pan-European levels, address clustered drivers of decline and monitor the impact of conservation measures and policy action. It will be an important contribution to the final evaluation of the EU Biodiversity Strategy and the post-2020 biodiversity frameworks. The proposed approach combines the mobilisation of dedicated knowledge networks and data with the use of an established metric, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI), so as to update existing European Red Lists (ERL) and assess status changes in species, with the aim of informing sectoral and land use policies, which is critical for refining the scope of their action.

In Europe, the risk of extinction of species has increased dramatically over the last 20 years. While the drivers of these declines are largely known for some groups of organisms, and conservation measures and policies have been implemented to prevent the continuation of these downward trends, data and knowledge on species trends and threats are either non-existent or not easily accessible, species status indicators have not been systematically produced, and the geographical scope of conservation and policy action has been uneven. This makes it more difficult to understand the impact of specific recovery measures and poses a challenge to measuring EU progress against regionally and internationally agreed targets to halt biodiversity loss.

The IUCN RLI is a widely accepted metric for measuring changes in extinction risk globally and has been adopted as an official indicator of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals and the global Aichi Biodiversity Targets. As such, it was recently used to assess regional trends in mammals, birds and amphibians for Europe and Central Asia in the regional assessment report of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and is proposed to be used in the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. The RLI uses data from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, which in Europe has assessed over 11 000 species since 2006 at two regional levels: for geographic Europe, and for the Union. For marine species, the area covered by the assessments includes the Mediterranean, the Black, Baltic and North Seas, and the European part of the Atlantic Ocean (i.e. territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), including the EEZs of the Macaronesian Islands belonging to Portugal and Spain). However, IUCN Red List assessments become officially outdated after 10 years and no taxonomic group has ever been reassessed at the Union and pan-European levels. Therefore, it is vital that species be regularly reassessed to obtain a reliable and meaningful indicator of European biodiversity trends and threat abatement over time for more widespread evidence-informed policy-making.

The preparatory action will use the IUCN RLI to estimate the aggregate extinction risk for almost all taxa assessed to date by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species at the Union and pan-European levels. These include vertebrates (mammals, amphibians, reptiles and freshwater fish), invertebrates (non-marine molluscs, butterflies, saproxylic beetles, dragonflies and bees) and plants (vascular and medicinal). The IUCN RLI can measure whether the rate of biodiversity loss has been reduced in Europe, helping to improve the effectiveness of conservation measures applied on the ground while assessing progress in implementing EU policies and legislation, such as the current EU Biodiversity Strategy – particularly Target 1, which aims to increase the protection of species and their habitats by fully implementing the EU Nature Directives – as well as informing policy targets in the post-2020 agenda. These reassessments should be aligned with the policy cycle (e.g. 2010 Biodiversity Action Plan, EU biodiversity policy to 2020, 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, etc.).

The overall methodology for species reassessments will be based on the existing Red List assessments. Some preliminary work will be needed to collect the necessary information and update the assessments. Assessment workshops will take place only to review the Red List status of the most endangered species, and so they are expected to be fewer in number than for a typical assessment exercise, and, consequently, cheaper. The duration of these workshops will vary from one to four days, depending on the number of species to be assessed. Taxonomic knowledge, expertise and data will be mobilised through engagement with the relevant Specialist Groups of the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC), and with IUCN staff leading the global assessment by these groups. Additional consultation with and engagement of local and international experts will be key to the success of the activities, and so this action has a huge potential for galvanising local knowledge hubs and for capacity building (through workshops). The IUCN Red List typically makes species assessments and distribution maps freely available on its website, and all the newly collected information will be uploaded to the European Environment Agency (EEA) Biodiversity Data Centre. Any additional detailed time series data on population abundance and distribution for the proposed groups of species collected under this action will be made available, subject to the terms established in legal data sharing agreements with existing monitoring schemes to clarify intellectual property rights and rights of access to data, in an integrated database that can directly contribute to an integrated monitoring system for biodiversity and ecosystems to be developed by the Commission and the EEA.

DELIVERABLES

The reassessments will provide four main deliverables:

1)An ERL publication for each group of species (Union and pan-European levels), providing an overview of the analyses undertaken and the results of the reassessment process, including examples of species with positive, stable and negative trends as shown by the RLI, a compilation of conservation successes and failures, with key messages and recommendations tailored to the main sectors responsible for actions taking place across Europe that continue to support and/or threaten species conservation. These will be critical to improving biodiversity mainstreaming across non-state actors and informing the general public as to which actions and behaviours will benefit European biodiversity and promote ecosystem services and, hence, human wellbeing. The final reassessments for each species will also be presented in updated factsheets on the IUCN website. The advantages of uploading the factsheets to the Red List website are: access to all ERL data in one place; access to the most up-to-date assessments beyond the scope of this action which benefit from new information being incorporated by the SSC Expert Network; and a comparison with global and other regional assessments for the same species. In line with previous ERL publications, the updated assessments will be in full colour with figures and photos throughout, and the publications will also be designed to minimise download times for the PDF version. The publications will be delivered in print (300 copies) as well as in electronic formats (Word and PDF).

2)Integration of updated Red List databases into the EEA Biodiversity Data Centre and its hosting infrastructure. All the information collected to estimate the RLI (population size, distribution, demographic trends, habitats, threats) will be used to update the current species assessments in the Species Information Service, and exported to Microsoft Access databases (per taxonomic group), which will then be formatted in accordance with the requirements of the EEA Biodiversity Data Centre, where they will be made available.

3)Preparation of text for the Europa website. A new tab under the current index available for each ERL assessment on the Europa website showing the results of the RLI for each taxonomic group will be created and the respective text will be prepared in parallel with the ERL publications. The current structure (i.e. titles and subtitles) as developed for previous ERL projects might require revision to better encapsulate and profile the efforts for, and results of, systematic monitoring and of the RLI.

4)‘The pulse of European biodiversity’ brochure summarising the findings of the reassessments and the RLI, highlighting the importance of biodiversity monitoring and long-term trends, clustering drivers of threat to provide key messages to the societal sectors with the greatest impacts, and celebrating cases of conservation success. It is important that positive messages be included to help create the optimistic social movement that will enable change. The brochure will be produced in line with the Commission’s visual identity guidelines. It will have broad appeal and will be used to communicate with policymakers and the interested public. It will also be an important communication tool for the media and will provide DG Environment with a very useful tool that can be widely distributed to other DGs and stakeholders, and used in awareness-raising campaigns. The brochures will be delivered in print (1 500 copies) as well as in electronic formats (Word and PDF).

This three-year preparatory action will have a total budget of EUR 2 400 000.

Remarks

This pilot project will assess technical solutions for opening a migration route for sturgeon to pass the Iron Gate hydropower dams I and II on the Danube River on the border between Romania and Serbia. Considering the size of the dams (the largest on the River Danube), the size of the fish (up to 7 metres in length) and the surrounding rocky terrain, this is an extraordinary engineering challenge requiring a solution with a high degree of innovation, tailored to local circumstances.

Restoring sturgeon migration aids is highlighted as a flagship project under the Sturgeon Strategy of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) as well as in the Action Plan of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region with a view to improving the conservation status of the Danube sturgeon. The flagship project also contributes to the implementation of the pan-European Action Plan for the Conservation of the Sturgeon under the Bern Convention, to which the Union is a party.

This pilot project will prepare a sound and comprehensive technical feasibility study for facilitating sturgeon migration including:

1)concept/pre-design for potential technical options for upstream and downstream fish passage restoration, including comparison of advantages and disadvantages (restrictions), cost estimates, risks (technical, financial) and identification of the next steps required for an outline design, including structural design, technical components design and operational concept;

2)hydraulic modelling;

3)concept for an implementation strategy (the sequence of structure implementation, e.g. a step-by-step process following a learning-by-doing approach, i.e. an adaptive fishway design approach);

4)identification of feasible management alternatives, in particular for downstream fish protection (e.g. turbine management, trap and transport) – both short-term and long-term;

5)field surveys necessary to fill knowledge gaps not covered by ongoing studies (non-existing data or outdated data);

6)concept for fishway evaluation/monitoring;

7)update of funding concept;

8)review of technical concepts by peer reviewers/fishway experts.

These components of the technical Feasibility Study will cost some EUR 2 000 000. The ICPDR as well as the competent national authorities of Romania and Serbia will be closely involved in the implementation of the study.

The activities to be implemented could be redesigned to avoid possible overlaps with ongoing work.

Funding for this project is currently not provided for in any Union programme.

There is no ready-to-apply design for this kind of fish pass and the innovative solution funded under this project will thus be a paradigm for designing comparable fish passes on other, large European rivers. Similar challenges to that of making Iron Gate I and II passable for large fish (e.g. large scale, high discharge, variable water levels in the reservoir) are also encountered around the Baltic Sea, where large dams on the Vistula (Poland), the Neman (Lithuania) and the Daugava (Latvia) rivers hinder fish migration and sturgeon reintroduction programmes. Other examples are the Gabčíkovo dam as well as larger dams on the Tisza and Drava in the Danube basin, on the Evros in Bulgaria and Greece, and rivers on the Iberian Peninsula, for example on the Guadalquivir, a former sturgeon river. Finding fish migration solutions for all these rivers would be an important contribution to implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive.

Passages for sturgeon on large dams only exist in Russia on the Volga and Kuban rivers and in the United States on the Connecticut and Columbia rivers. Experience gathered with these facilities should be taken into account, but will not answer all questions. One of the best known and most successful examples of fish passes for sturgeon in Europe is at Geesthacht in Germany, but there the weir is only 4,5 m high, whereas Iron Gate I is 60 m high.

In addition, this pilot project will also involve Serbian water management stakeholders, thereby helping them learn how to comply with the environmental acquis.

Remarks

Landcare initiatives are characterised by close cooperation between conservationists, farmers and local communities. Their aim is to preserve the diversity of European landscapes and their biodiversity, and to provide support for the further sustainable development of rural economies. Cooperative nature conservation efforts on the basis of landcare principles currently exist in six Member States (France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Romania and Spain) and a start is currently being made on similar approaches in other Member States (e.g. Lithuania and Czechia).

Actively improving how Union nature directives are implemented provides the setting within which landcare initiatives are taking place. The project will promote the relevant CAP measures, including measures for farmland birds and Natura 2000 site management, and work to include all relevant measures/goals in the CAP strategic plans and the prioritised action frameworks. In addition, implementation of the Water Framework Directive is considered an important factor for the project and for implementation of Union nature legislation.

To achieve these goals in the regions on the ground, the participating organisations are carrying out a broad range of activities in support of various stakeholders in relevant rural areas in order to secure conservation measures from a structural perspective.

The main working areas for implementation of Union nature legislation involve:

—offering additional sources of income for land users through landcare measures, e.g. agri-environmental measures that preserve landscapes and biodiversity,

—marketing high quality regional products (e.g. from Natura 2000 sites),

—supporting rural tourism,

—creating jobs, and

—fostering regional identities.

Experience so far shows that the landcare approach improves implementation of Union nature directives by enhancing local biodiversity, preserving cultural landscapes and improving quality of life for people in rural areas. In line with the Action Plan for nature, people and the economy, these developments promote smarter participatory approaches and strengthen full involvement of landowners and users.

There should therefore be efforts to intensify contact and exchange of experiences within the European landcare initiatives and organisations. In recent years, a start has been made on pooling experience among various European landcare initiatives, which have benefited from those contacts. During mutual visits and workshops, new approaches for better implementation of Union environment/nature and farming policies have been developed; but today it is essential to strenthen this cooperation at European level so as to boost the long-term benefit for rural development and nature.

This project will involve both existing and new partners so that they learn from defined key factors and practical experience. They will be able to participate in workshops and at a European conference. The project will therefore ultimately help foster European partnerships and strengthen the Union. Accordingly, five workshops with successful partners will be run in order to define key factors for cooperative nature conservation. The key factors will be summarised in a multilingual publication and presented at a final European conference on ‘Landcare Europe – cooperative nature conservation to benefit man and nature’. New landcare movements can use this to improve their work on the ground.

The central goal of the project is to promote better implementation of Union directives, such as the Habitats Directive and the Water Framework Directive, and the impact of the common agricultural policy on cultural landscapes in various Member States. Feedback and suggestions will be summarised and delivered to the Commission as well as to the respective ministries in the Member States. This will also foster the transfer of knowledge and practical experiences from one country to another and the development of suitable programmes if necessary.

In addition to implementation of Union nature conservation directives, further topics will be discussed that are not directly related to everyday landcare work in Europe, with the aim of finding solutions and learning from tried-and-tested practices:

—questions of coexistence with large carnivores in rural areas;

—lessons learnt and conclusions for the restoration of habitats for farmland birds and participation in the new contract relating to farmland birds;

—on the basis of experience gained and suggestions emerging from landcare initiatives in Europe, the pilot project will contribute to updating guidance on Natura 2000 and farmland;

—conclusions will also feed in to action to promote several deliverables under the Action Plan for nature;

—experiences and lessons learnt can also feed in to biogeographical networking events, etc.

The special value of landcare initiative collaboration is that, in the process, a bridge is built between nature conservation, land users and local communities. Therefore, Union policy targets can be better achieved and a pro-European atmosphere can be promoted in rural areas.

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

The Commission invests in biomedical research and development through its Horizon 2020 Research Framework Programme under Societal Challenge 1 on health, demographic change and wellbeing, the primary objective of which is ‘improving the lifelong health and well-being of all’. However, the Commission’s biomedical research and development policy has been criticised for failing to ensure a fair public return on its investments: both the Council conclusions of 17 June 2016 on strengthening the balance in the pharmaceutical systems in the EU and its Member States and the European Parliament resolution of 2 March 2017 on EU options for improving access to medicines (Texts adopted, P8-TA(2017)0061)) have stressed the need to ensure that public investments in research and development yield a fair return to ensure that the medical innovations supported by public investment focus on public health interests and the unmet medical needs of patients.

In order to ensure that public biomedical investments in research and development deliver the above-mentioned objectives of Horizon 2020 and ensure a fair return, it is crucial that a corresponding monitoring mechanism to measure the socio-economic impact be put in place. However, it is widely acknowledged that there is a huge time lag (estimated 17 years) before health research evidence reaches clinical practice, let alone generates measurable health impacts. It is therefore of the utmost importance to define what the notion of a ‘fair return on public investment’ implies for Union biomedical investments, especially for Union-financed public-private partnerships, in terms of directly observable/measurable indicators. With such benchmarks and metrics to quantify ‘fair return’ developed, the social impact of medical research and development projects would be considered at the stage where the projects are being scoped out and decisions are being made on the allocation of resources, which in turn would help to ensure the desired social impact of Union medical research and development projects and guarantee a fair return on public investments.

This pilot project seeks to address the above-mentioned concerns of the European public and Union institutions by creating a ‘fair return’ benchmark. With actual health impacts decades away and adequate monitoring mechanisms not yet in place, a benchmark for a ‘fair return’ on the Union’s public investment is urgently needed. To that effect, this benchmark will define what a ‘fair’ public return for the Union’s public investments implies for:

—priority allocation of research and development funding,

—the design of projects, including the expected health and other socio-economic impacts.

The programme covers two thematic areas:

Fusion research, which includes activities that range from basic research to technology development, construction of major projects and training and education activities. It offers the prospect of an almost limitless supply of clean energy, with ITER being the crucial next step in the progress towards this ultimate goal. The realisation of the ITER project therefore lies at the heart of the present Union strategy. It must be accompanied by a strong and focused European research and development programme on fusion to prepare for the exploitation of ITER and to develop the technologies and knowledge base that will be needed during ITER operation and beyond.

Fission research, which aims to establish a sound scientific and technical basis in order to accelerate practical developments for the safer management of long-lived radioactive waste, to promote safer, more resource-efficient and cost-effective nuclear energy and to ensure a robust and socially acceptable system of protection of man and the environment against the effects of radiation.

Remarks

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

This pilot project provides financial support for Union research into the most promising and environmentally friendly steelmaking technology which could almost completely eliminate CO2 emissions by replacing carbon with hydrogen, and by capturing, storing and processing any remaining CO2 produced through more advanced and cost-efficient standard industrial techniques, and by deploying cutting-edge bio-industrial technologies, such as bio-sequestration and integrated CO2 bio-refineries. This holistic approach seeks to achieve zero CO2 emissions in steel production by maximising the complementarity of advanced versions of these technologies.

The first step – identifying technical barriers for upscaling carbon direct avoidance techniques (via hydrogen and electric steelmaking) and smart carbon usage (via process integration and carbon capture utilisation) – has been initiated under the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) as a feasibility study which may lead in 2020 to a wider European innovation initiative.

This pilot project will explore synergies between the RFCS, Horizon 2020, the innovation fund created by Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (OJ L 275, 25.10.2003, p. 32), the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2 JU) and the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), as well as other relevant Union funding instruments in order to promote the establishment of an industrial steelmaking pilot plant with zero CO2 emissions and its potential linkage to an integrated CO2 bio-refinery.

New technologies are dramatically and constantly changing the dynamics of opinion-making and the media landscape. While they allow easy distribution of information of public interest to wider audiences, fostering pluralism, the way in which information is created, searched for and distributed online may accentuate polarisation, exposing individuals to news, sources and ideas that match their stated preferences. This can significantly reduce the scope for encountering and debating opposing viewpoints and, as such, may pose a risk to media pluralism and democracy itself. As the impact of online information is growing, citizens are increasingly forming their opinions though information distributed online. This poses severe risks to effective pluralism when that information is false or is ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’. While some policy responses to proliferation of misinformation call on online intermediaries and social media platforms to adopt self-regulatory measures to limit the circulation of false and fake information, it is evident that entrusting those private companies with filtering information online may lead to a limiting of freedom of expression too.

This preparatory action supports the development of a study on a set of indicators to measure the risks to media pluralism in the online environment. The Union has already invested resources in devising a media pluralism monitor that can assess risks to media pluralism and freedom. This comprehensive tool has proved effective and useful for assessing risks to media pluralism at country level. It is of the utmost importance that the methodology of that tool should be reusable for a new monitor that fully takes into account the online dimension of pluralism. The preparatory action will map the threats to information pluralism online, create a tool to assess the risks to pluralism online and test it in the 28 Member States.

Remarks

With the deterioration of press and media freedom in Member States and candidate countries showing a worrying trend, this pan-European rapid response mechanism on violations of media freedom should provide tangible protection to journalists including fact-finding, advocacy, monitoring, informing the European public and awareness-raising.

The right to freedom of expression needs strong defence to protect democracy, strengthen public discourse and guarantee an enabling environment for investigative and independent journalists. Hence, it is crucial to set up a pan-European response mechanism on violations of press and media freedom.

This mechanism will make violations visible and provide practical help to journalists under threat, in collaboration with European, regional and local stakeholders in the field of media freedom. Practical help must encompass tools to protect journalists under threat: providing direct advice and legal support as well as offering shelter and assistance so they can continue their profession. Delegates will be sent to countries affected and advocacy will support fighting impunity. Monitoring of the situation provides reliable and comprehensive information for the public as well as European authorities. This promotes awareness-raising and allows early warnings. Instruments will be adjusted according to individual needs on a case-by-case basis. This unique toolkit contained in the rapid response mechanism will prevent further violations and will improve press and media freedom.

Remarks

This preparatory action builds on the ‘European research grants for journalistic investigations, #IJ4EU’ project. Maintaining quality journalism and especially investigative journalism, which is a particularly resource-intensive genre, has become more difficult in the changing media landscape. The preparatory action will strengthen the European public sphere and help create a European public discourse. In this context, the Commission issued an open call for proposals for an independent body to implement consecutive rounds of grants supporting journalistic investigations involving journalists from at least two Member States so as to ensure maximum independence and journalistic freedom. Results will be published in at least the Member States involved.

The murders of Daphne Caruana and Ján Kuciak show that the work of investigative journalists is becoming increasingly difficult and that in the current political context, and amid the changing media landscape, not only political and legal support, but also continued financial support from the Union is essential.

Remarks

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

While digital services have been increasingly developed and deployed by public administrations, their accessing and using them are still uneven both across and within countries in Europe. One reason for that is the limited scope of one-stop-shop platforms that are sufficiently user-friendly for citizens and business.

Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) can provide a response to this challenge by supporting the integration of different services, ranging from identity and document exchange management to processing information flows and ensuring maintenance of repositories and registries.

DLTs can do that without the need for a central validation function and in a secure mode, which shortens processing time, encourages process automation and reduces the scope for errors and fraud. In addition, information can be securely processed in compliance with the principles set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1) and on the basis of privacy-by-design computation processes.

While DLTs are being increasingly adopted in different domains, take-up of them in public administration is lagging behind because of the relative immaturity of the technology solutions and a lack of experimentation specifically addressing the need to offer service platforms to citizens.

This pilot project involves the creation of a small-scale digital public administration platform based on DLTs in order to provide integrated public services to users on the basis of key components such as digital identify management, notarised services and secure document exchange management. The platform will be based on the reuse of open source components supported by collaboration mechanisms with the blockchain community. The pilot project will assess the technical feasibility of such a service platform and its usability and performance. It will also assess its potential for reuse across different public administrations in Europe, with a view to creating the basis for a blockchain-based European public administration infrastructure.

Digitalisation is a major current and future challenge in Europe. However, it also represents an opportunity for the creation of new job types. These require in many cases programming skills which should be further promoted among young people, since they are often not part of school curricula. The Union should encourage young people to take an interest in technology and programming and help to develop their skills in order to prepare them for the future job market.

Organising a programming contest at Union level will have the following advantages:

—promoting an interest in programming and technologies and related skills,

—providing an incentive for young people to develop programming skills through game-based learning,

—promoting the European idea.

Framework of the programming contest:

—the contest should be implemented in the context of the EU Code Week 2019 and 2020, with the Union’s objective being to involve at least 50 % of schools in the Union and Western Balkans by 2020; EU Code Week provides an existing infrastructure and context,

—a special initiative should be set up (possibly called a ‘createathon’) for talented young people who could be given tasks such as developing an app,

—a basic course in programming should be provided in this context at Member State level,

—the contest should cooperate with industry with a view to gaining first-hand experience of programming activities.

Remarks

The pilot project will provide dedicated Union grants for small-scale online media wishing to develop fact-checking capabilities, fact-checkers and academics for the development and dissemination of innovative solutions, including fostering collaboration between fact-checking organisations, media and universities. The support provided will not affect the independence of the organisations which receive it.

The pilot project will support Commission efforts in tackling online disinformation and in promoting media innovation in the wider context of the digital single market. It will facilitate and complement the objectives and actions provided for in the communication on ‘Tackling online disinformation: a European Approach’ and in the action plan on disinformation. In particular, the pilot project will facilitate the creation of national multidisciplinary teams, to be made up of media practitioners, fact-checkers and academic researchers. This will complement the Connecting Europe Facility programme, which provides infrastructure (European Platform on Disinformation) to foster cooperation at European level between national multidisciplinary teams.

The pilot project will also complement Commission support for the development of a code of practice. This includes enabling fact-checkers and academics, while maintaining their independence, to develop traceability, accountability and reliable indicators for source transparency, and to continuously monitor the scale, techniques, tools, nature and impact of disinformation. Moreover, the pilot project will support the development and testing of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence to identify disinformation and technologies enabling customisable online experience, which could provide users with tools to identify and report disinformation.

The actions supported by the pilot project will build on the preparatory action on Media Literacy for All by complementing it and by focusing not on citizens but on media actors. The pilot project will support Commission initiatives to promote media freedom and pluralism and quality news media and journalism.

Remarks

Social media have revolutionised economies and societies. After only 15 years, the benefits of long-distance communication at close to zero costs are being enjoyed and a number of new business opportunities have emerged in many sectors, ranging from advertising and marketing to social sciences.

Over the last few years, the challenges that have also been posed have had to be dealt with: privacy concerns, an imbalance between digital and non-digital aspects of life, a lack of understanding of how social media work, dissemination of illegal or hateful content and, lastly, manipulation of citizen perception.

Manipulation of citizen perception has been the subject of a number of academic studies, which have shown that tinkering with a social media newsfeed can affect and influence the mood, choices and reactions of individuals. This was brought to light even more after the 2016 revelation that Cambridge Analytica used data collected from Facebook accounts to attempt to manipulate voters in the US elections and the Brexit referendum.

This pilot project will build on the work carried out by the Commission’s Platform Observatory and fake-news initiatives and the European Science and Media Hub of the European Parliament. It will monitor, identify, study and eventually tackle attempts to manipulate user perception.

This work will focus on negative messages and how to tackle them and could also develop a pan-European certification scheme for anti-hoax initiatives, which could facilitate the Commission’s efforts, as there are a number of fact-checker and anti-hoax websites operating across the Union but their reliability could sometimes be questioned. A checklist leading to certification could be a cost-effective solution for the Union and Member State authorities.

Remarks

For the medium and long term, cities across the Union should implement on a large scale the concept of autonomous/driverless electric cars, helping them to promote a better and green urban mobility policy for their citizens, tourists, other relevant stakeholders and the environment. This pilot project will involve a set of integrated actions in at least 10 cities (pilot cities), of various sizes, in different Member States, including congested urban centres and key neighbourhoods, tourist destinations, including fortresses, thematic amusement parks and resorts, airports, educational campuses, large hospitals, etc. The project will ensure a sound geographical balance between cities which are spread over Member States (north, south, east, west, centre), between wealthier and poorer cities, and between big or small to medium-sized cities. Drawing on strong political will and on competent administrative and technical capacity, action will be taken to test autonomous vehicles and customise a future initiative that turns the pilot phase into a communitarian one.

The project will combine, in an integrated manner, the acquisition of small driverless electric shuttle buses with a capacity of 15 people, including access for people with disabilities, which offer more, efficient and smart mobility for pilot cities and private sites.

The shuttles will draw on data from LIDAR sensors, cameras, GPS facilities, real-time kinetic positioning sources, IMU sensors and odometry, which will be merged and interpreted by in-depth learning programmes, using artificial intelligence and high-speed connectivity.

Acquisition will be complemented by intensive educational campaigns promoted through social media channels in city halls, schools, universities, tourist information centres, housing associations, unions etc. The goal is to develop a robust urban mentalitythat is geared to using this alternative transport model, enhance the importance of green mobility alternatives in the European urban environment, and to visibly promote the Commission’s financial support. At the end of the pilot project, a lessons-learnt guide will be produced and delivered publicly in all the official languages of the Union. It will be disseminated via relevant official channels (e.g. association of municipalities in every Member State, relevant umbrella networks for local government, tourist destinations, and transport unions). Public events (e.g. press conferences) and practical demonstrations will be held at the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions and the Commission and in every pilot city.

The shuttles will be fitted with smart facilities (e.g. digital displays) providing relevant information about journeys, destinations, carbon footprint and educational messages about the importance of living in a green urban environment; they will measure air quality in real time, using sensors, and communicate arrivals and departures at stations, using audio and digital displayed messages; they will provide passengers with free wi-fi. During the pilot project, use of shuttles will be free of charge. The operational costs necessary for optimum functioning will be covered by the projects and warranties offered by the company winning a public tender for delivering the shuttles.

Another fundamental argument is that, by delivering tangible results, this kind of pilot project will create a scalable model usable for different cities across the Union, with different and specific mobility needs. Its results will help municipalities and other relevant stakeholders (including private operators) to prepare their future mobility projects that could be funded by the Commission and national governments during the next allocation period (2021–2024) through regional operational programmes and other programmes supporting Union’s cohesion policy. They will become more aware of costs, safety and security requirements, logistics, maintenance costs, and affordability considerations. Cities could adapt and adopt new local decisions and policies for smart urban mobility, enhancing the importance of using integrated urban alternative modes, with mobility as a service facility and fleets of efficiently used green vehicles that are adapted in a proper urban environment.

Remarks

Digital technology has lowered the entry cost to mass media and opened up a tightly regulated market to a whole range of new players. As, however, the business model of traditional media is disintegrating in the process, a trend towards concentration of ownership can be observed. While the internet remains a technological tool for accessing an unlimited variety of offerings, market failures, regulatory shortcomings and the nature of algorithmic news distribution lead to significant limitations of media pluralism, which is an important precondition for the freedom of information and expression.

Transparency of media ownership is therefore considered a key prerequisite for safeguarding those freedoms. It elevates the general public’s level of media literacy and enables meaningful concentration control and regulatory action.

The pilot project will:

—create publicly available, searchable databases for up to six European countries in the relevant languages to provide profiles of the most relevant media outlets that shape public opinion, as well as of the corporate entities and individuals behind them. The methodology selecting the sample, and for data research, analysis and presentation, will be based on an existing methodology that is well documented, has already been tested and implemented elsewhere in the world and can thus be considered a widely accepted and legitimate instrument in this field;

—feature a narrative part to accompany the database and contextualise the county-specific environment in which media operate, including a detailed legal assessment based on a widely applied template to allow for comparative global analysis;

—include the measurement, computation and publication of up to 10 indicators of risks to media pluralism in the legal, economic and technical domains, based on a reliable and tested methodology that builds on the existing work of the Media Pluralism Monitor in this field;

—publish and promote findings and the use thereof by means of the online resource itself, but also through supporting actions, such as launch events and press conferences.

This pilot project will run for two years.

Remarks

The pilot project supporting media councils in the digital age so as to enhance trust in media and address disinformation issues has been turned into a preparatory action, given its crucial importance and benefits. This will enable these independent self-regulation mechanisms to be sustainable, which is a precondition for their success. In order to protect media freedom and pluralism and to promote professionalism as regards journalistic content, the preparatory action will bring about a better understanding of the consequences and challenges of digital developments through a press council forum and, in parallel, support the transition of media self-regulatory bodies into the online world, and engage them in discussions with internet intermediaries and internet media stakeholders.

Activities:

—conducting a survey with a view to an in-depth examination of the state of and models for media self-regulation in the digital environment and to creating clarity as to how to achieve, in a converged media environment, the traditional goals of media regulation (i.e. a pluralistic and diverse media landscape in which the media benefit from independence from political, commercial and other influences and are accountable to the public);

—developing the first online database on the current functioning of media self-regulatory bodies and promoting the work of press councils in Europe;

—developing a pan-EU working group on the digital challenges so as to apply the recommendations emerging from the survey;

—providing direct support to newly established press councils in Europe;

—including press and media councils in a global dialogue on media ethics in the digital age (participation at global internet conferences, etc.);

—organising regular meetings with internet intermediaries with the aim of achieving online recognition of media content already under the supervision of a press council.

Remarks

Paediatric cancers are a collection of diverse rare diseases that together represent individually life-threatening diseases and collectively a major public health issue. With 35 000 new cases and more than 6 000 children and young people dying each year in Europe, paediatric cancer remains the leading cause of death from disease for children and adolescents. Moreover, there are more than 300 000 European childhood cancer survivors (nearly half a million by 2020). Two thirds of survivors live with the long-term treatment-related side effects that can be severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.

The effective implementation of machine-learning and AI technologies can bring solutions for many societal challenges, including improved diagnostic and treatment pathways. Integrated healthcare and research data platforms that collate information on clinical phenotypes, diagnostic tests (including pathology, genomics and radiological imaging), treatment interventions and clinical outcomes will be powerful tools for early and accurate diagnoses, enable precision in stratification of patient cohorts according to therapeutic needs, and facilitate development of new therapeutic innovation.

The particularity of paediatric cancers being rare diseases necessitates a collaborative approach to collate and integrate the data collected in all Member States, including best practices and new technologies in order to further develop common solutions. The use of big data for better insights into cancer genesis, outcomes and the long-term side effects of treatments is currently underdeveloped. AI and machine learning are future tools to digest complex data sets and foster precision cancer medicine for all young people in Europe.

Further advances in the diagnosis and treatment of paediatric oncology will require multinational, multidisciplinary integrated healthcare and research data platforms allowing real-world data simulations of machine-learning algorithms and AI that can be exploited in data-driven clinical decision support applications directly benefiting patients.

The pilot project will support research in AI technologies with precise application for diagnosis and treatment of paediatric cancers.

The pilot project will follow a two-stage approach:

1.Development of multinational approaches to facilitate capture of data from multiple sources. Building on existing multidisciplinary platforms and datasets, developing integrated healthcare and research data platforms that collate clinical data, including, for example, clinical history, relevant diagnostic tests (pathology, genomics, radiological imaging), treatment interventions and clinical outcomes for childhood cancers, connecting all relevant stakeholders from paediatric oncology and technology developers.

2.Development of applications using AI technologies to improve disease diagnosis, management, and the development of effective therapies: utilising integrated healthcare and research data platforms to develop clinically relevant machine-learning and AI technology applications. The pilot project may focus on one or more applications, including in connection with radiological imaging, digital pathology, integrated genotyping and outcome prediction algorithms and clinical decision making.

Remarks

The Centre for Innovation and Civic Imagination (CICI) is an instrument for social innovation, communication, research and promotion, as well as a forum for discussion and information for citizens, the public and experts in various fields. The CICI also aims to become a permanent laboratory in which to develop and test different forms of collaboration between city actors in order to support participatory practice and promote discussions on urban innovation projects. It manages analysis processes, develops pilot projects for the community and seeks to solve the city's pressing problems and plan future projects, and identify complementary functions in relation to the current dynamics of the city. One of the particularities of the CICI is the effective organisation of open meetings and innovation methodologies recommended by the Commission, using the concept of the quadruple helix (addressing themes for analysis with the participation of experts in public administration location, academics, the business environment and the NGO sector), or even the quintuple helix model, by involving the citizen - a direct beneficiary of measures aimed at increasing the quality of life in the city. The CICI coordinates and guides complex networks of participatory governance.

This preparatory action will emphasise the proactivity of citizens vis-à-vis local government and stress the importance of their participation in the decision-making process.

Remarks

The preparatory action will establish a European platform of regions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data (BD) so as to enhance public administration efficiency and user-centred services. The rapid integration of digital technologies poses a number of challenges for national, regional and local governments. An important aspect of this transformation concerns the expectations of citizens and businesses about their interaction with governments. This requires the digital transformation of governments to rise to the challenge.

Public administrations need to change the way they work and organise themselves. They have to ensure the skills needed to use new digital tools; they need to work collaboratively and engage with citizens and businesses.

The Union’s vision is to make public administration open, interoperable, efficient, inclusive, borderless and user-friendly by providing a new digital environment for public services. In its Communication of 19 April 2016 entitled ‘EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020: Accelerating the digital transformation of government (COM(2016) 179 final) and Communication of 14 September 2016 entitled ‘Connectivity for a Competitive Digital Single Market – Towards a European Gigabit society (COM(2016 587 final), the Commission considers that digital transformation of public administration is the key to a successful Digital Single Market.

The Union’s common effort includes a consistent legal basis, policies and financing programmes for digital interoperability and innovative solutions for public administrations.

However, there is a need for a Union tool to support a platform of regions able to address digital transformation of public administration across Europe.

AI and BD are driving a new social and economic paradigm in Europe and beyond. Regions need to be part of the process as the level of government closest to citizens.

Use of AI and BD by public administrations has increased, demonstrating great potential in a broad range of sectors - from mobility to environmental monitoring and geophysical simulations, and from smart power grids to personalised healthcare. A European platform of regions will contribute to exchanging and developing common responses and solutions. European regions can provide significant input into making public administration systems more efficient and capable of generating public value and delivering better public services.

A move towards a European platform of regions for digital transformation has already started, proving that regional engagement represents added value for the digital single market objectives to modernise public administration and reduce the digital divide. To that end, two European high-level seminars have been organised in Brussels, on digital transformation of public administration, with the participation of European regions, businesses and the Commission - (DG DIGIT, DG CONNECT, DG ECOFIN and the Secretary-General). The meetings have been promoted by the Regional Government of Emilia-Romagna, with the involvement of Hessen, Catalonia, Flanders, Wallonia, Ile-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Trondheim and, from the business side, IT and AI providers. Emilia-Romagna hosts the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, has been selected to be a European HPC Supercomputing Centre and is establishing an international foundation on BD and AI for human development.

Objectives and activities

The digital transformation Platform of European Regions will:

—share knowledge on Union, national and regional legislation and regulatory frameworks so as to enhance the use of AI and BD,

—share models to enhance strategic drivers towards digitalisation, in particular infrastructures, data and services, digital skills and communities,

—improve sharing of data sets and knowledge on AI and BD applications for public services,

—enhance the AI and BD skills and capabilities of civil servants,

—develop and share new ways of working, including smart working.

Specifically, the preparatory action will focus on the following activities:

—establishment of the platform of regions for AI and BD, connecting regional governments, ICT agencies, suppliers and enterprises,

—development of pilot testing arrangements in connection with the cultural transformation stemming from the digital workplace and smart working,

—two European hackathons on the use of shared data, standards and interoperability for public administrations,

—two seminars for the co-creation of user-centred public services based on AI and BD,

—peer learning for managers in connection with AI and BD.

The platform will involve a dozen European regions from different Member States.

The preparatory action will complement the ISA2 programme. Specifically, the Join Up platform can contribute to the action.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action addresses the need to improve digital skills through education and professional training more actively and homogeneously throughout Europe. Despite the efforts made at European and national level, such as the Digital Skills for Jobs Coalition initiatives, there is still a huge digital skills gap to contend with in society. Existing initiatives are of great benefit in tackling Member States’ current challenges. Therefore, the action should not duplicate those initiatives; rather, it should complement them instead. The Academy will address the lack of a well-developed, transnational network in Europe that supports and facilitates exchanges between and coordination of all stakeholders in this area. It could showcase, scale and multiply European best practices in training and in developing the digital skills of different target groups.

The European Digital Academy should be considered a possible long-term solution to the current challenges resulting from the combined impact of increasing robotisation and digitisation of the workspace, on the one hand, and, on the other, the lack of digital skills in society.

The European Digital Academy will have the following remit:

—making the workforce fit for the new digital era by ensuring that employees can update their e-skills and knowledge on an ongoing basis. The Academy will offer regular workshops and consulting services on robotics and automation issues. For information and communication technology (ICT) beginners, the Academy could offer an opportunity to participate in occupational retraining and to become familiar with the advantages of robotics and automation technology in order to use them profitably within the workspace.

SMEs in particular could benefit from such an academy because they often do not have the financial and human resources to provide training internally;

—making schoolchildren and students fit for the new digital era by bringing robotics and automation technology into school life. The Academy should offer courses on e-skills which excite, inspire, and motivate young people about the importance and impact of robotics technologies in daily life. The Academy could provide a great opportunity to assist in equipping students with the necessary skills for the jobs of tomorrow. However, the courses offered by the Academy should have no implications for national education systems; rather, they should instead be considered an optional complement and support;

—creating a European environment that empowers and encourages girls and young women to consider careers in the growing ICT field, thereby enabling both girls and technology companies to reap the benefits of greater female participation in the ICT sector.

The Academy will be established in cooperation with ministries, industry, specialist ICT companies, national institutions or initiatives with responsibility for professional training and lifelong learning programmes, and social partners. They all have the necessary expertise to coordinate and devise content and programmes for workshops and courses. In order to guarantee that this can be offered at European level, the Academy will set up a network of regional and national professional training centres throughout Europe. The network could provide considerable added value for addressing the challenge of reducing the various imbalances between skills offered and skills needed in Europe.

This pilot project will empower girls to learn and become leaders in technology. It will promote and teach science, technology, engineering and maths subjects (STEM) to girls, thereby addressing the ongoing skills gap in the sector within the Union, and especially the lack of women in this area and the increasing STEM dropout rates for girls. The pilot project includes two-week summer camps and measures to engage girls in STEM subjects in schools by creating a network to promote best practices.

This network for the exchange of best practices in promoting STEM to girls will be a network of schools, universities, companies and civil society organisations to attract female STEM students and employees and to raise awareness among students and academic staff regarding the full spectrum of education and training options. The network will serve as a platform for exchanging experience and support for the advancement of girls in STEM education and careers.

The main goal of the Union STEM summer camps for girls is to foster new profiles and combat stereotypes for girls when choosing their secondary education and career paths. STEM summer camps can help young girls to gain an interest in science, technology, engineering and maths. The camps will feature experiments, field trips and lab-based activities to show what it is like to work in STEM careers. ICT companies, companies with technical departments and technical training facilities, universities, and research centres will be invited to cooperate and participate in the camps.

The no-cost two-week summer camps for girls aged 13 to 18 years will introduce middle and high school girls to software engineering principles and programming languages. The summer programme will involve all Member States, targeting over a thousand middle and high school girls, many of whom come from underrepresented backgrounds. The programme will include learning how to code, and it will contribute to strengthening abilities, boosting confidence and empowering each girl to create her own future and achieve success in STEM studies. The programme instructors will provide instruction in programming and teach the principles of software engineering and how to code. In doing so, they will address important social issues surrounding the gender gap in STEM and foster a sense of community. The summer curriculums focus on real-life tools (Ruby, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) to empower the girls on their educational journeys.

It is time to reconsider the concept of freedom in the digital sphere. The current state of the digital economy powerfully demonstrates the paradoxes of network freedom: internet giants benefit from an extraordinarily free, immensely profitable, dynamic market, yet their business models raise basic questions about precisely this freedom in the digital sphere. Even though some legislative actions to regulate digital companies are already under way – in this regard, reference should be made to the Commission proposal regarding a digital tax – these measures only partly tackle the problems with digital monopolies. The regulatory framework, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1) and Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC (OJ L 130, 17.5.2019, p. 92), shows that the Union is a leader in protecting the data of users and securing cultural diversity by allowing fair remuneration of artists.

However, there is no European competition oversight of the mainly US-located digital monopolies that far too often use their market power to influence public opinion or legislators. Furthermore, they are based on a dubious business model at best, as the scandal involving Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal shows.

The Commission came up with similar considerations in its communication entitled ‘Tackling online disinformation: a European approach’, issued in April 2018, stating the need for a more transparent, trustworthy and accountable online ecosystem. On the issue of fake news, it pointed out that ‘...mechanisms which enable the creation, amplification and dissemination of disinformation rely upon a lack of transparency and traceability in the existing platform ecosystem and on the impact of algorithms and online advertising models’, and that therefore ‘it is necessary to promote adequate changes in platforms’ conduct, a more accountable information ecosystem, enhanced fact-checking capabilities and collective knowledge on disinformation, and the use of new technologies to improve the way information is produced and disseminated online’.

Further on, the communication states the need to improve transparency as to the origin and production of information, encourage diversity of information, and checks on its credibility. In further remarks, it seeks ‘to fashion inclusive solutions. Effective long-term solutions require awareness-raising, more media literacy, broad stakeholder involvement and the cooperation of public authorities, online platforms, advertisers, trusted flaggers, journalists and media groups.’

In the same spirit, this pilot project will create a new European digital platform in accordance with a strong Union regulatory framework. The platform will work on a business model that is fundamentally different to the data trading model Facebook and Google use. The European alternative will aim to provide quality content without restricting freedom of linking. Instead, there must be a licensing regime that underpins high-quality journalism. A common European platform, therefore, could mean a joint action at European level against fake news and hate speech. The need to provide an alternative is not only highlighted by the recent scandals, but also by the fact that there are initiatives within the Union to launch alternative platforms, such as Verimi.

Additionally, the pilot project covers a broad range of objectives and policies, taking stock of the work done by the Commission in the field. It is also part of its drive to create a digital single market. The Commission aims to make the Union’s rules more future-oriented and aligned with the rapid advance of technological development.

The pilot project is an additional tool to promote the digitisation of information published by listed companies in Europe, including the use of innovative technologies to interconnect national databases. Furthermore, the pilot project could link the existing platform of Europeana, which is already a Commission-run digital platform for cultural heritage. Through Europeana, citizens and the cultural and creative industries can access European culture for the widest possible variety of purposes. This new European platform could be merged with Europeana in the future. Public broadcasters such as ARTE, newspaper publishers and cultural institutions such as universities, theatres, museums and many others should participate.

The pilot project is divided into two phases:

Phase 1: Gaining an overview

The first phase will involve taking stock of initiatives connected to online platforms within the Union at a local, regional and (inter)national level, whether private or public. Stakeholders and experts need to be consulted and a study could be launched in order to gain an overview of initiatives on all levels. Finally, these initiatives will be analysed to assess to what extent and in which specific areas they are suitable to help build a European platform. Furthermore, an alternative business model to data trading needs to be found.

Phase 2: Constructing the platform

In the second phase, existing platforms have to be adjusted and linked together with the stakeholders in order to provide a European platform covering all kinds of content, including journalism, videos and pictures. It would fit in with the Commission’s plan to set up a platform on disinformation.

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

Reading disability is one of the most common neurological condition that affects European citizens. Dyslexia and other disorders are not related to intelligence or to a child’s desire to learn, but it is sometimes hard to find, develop and incorporate the right instruments in everyday life.

This is especially true for the public institutions that must be accessible and transparent for everyone, including the most vulnerable people.

This pilot project will develop a Europe-wide system for access to official documents for people with reading disabilities.

Steps:

(1)assessing the current technologies available, including typefaces (free fonts such as openDyslexia, for example) and supporting IT software;

(2)assessing which documents/websites/publications should be made available with the utmost priority and then defining a roadmap for a ‘reading disorder friendly’ environment for the European Institutions;

(3)converting at least the most recent official documents with an appropriate format and/or typeface;

(4)converting the complete Union archive of acts, publications, online presence and texts, using the predefined format.

Estimated costs

Depending on which technology the relevant departments decide to implement, the cost of the pilot project may vary, but, in general, many products and tools are distributed under GNU/open source licences. Where possible, the technology may be customised so as to better meet the needs of the institutions.

It may also be possible to launch a Europe-wide public procurement procedure in order to select a company or start-up that could build the technology from scratch.

Once is defined and well established, the solution could also be shared with national and local authorities in order to make even more documents and official acts available.

The pilot project will develop and trial:

(i)reliable online checks to identify and protect or block under-age children using sites or apps processing personal data, providing peer-to-peer or one-to-many communication services or providing goods and services that are potentially harmful to children;

(ii)reliable consent mechanisms for holders of parental responsibilities;

(iii)effective support mechanisms for children encountering difficult situations online;

(iv)a mechanism for defending children’s rights in the online domain;

(v)options for online access to Union content dedicated to children; and

(vi)mechanisms to involve children in the decision-making process for the infrastructure.

In carrying out the above tasks, the pilot project will involve relevant European and Member State stakeholders in the authentication and validation supply chain.

In particular, the Connecting Europe Facility supports the cross-border exchange of eID attributes so that they can be used to implement child protection mechanisms (e.g. age verification for access to online content based on the date of birth contained in the eID).

The pilot project will be implemented over two years (2020-2021).

Remarks

Europe's capacity to compete in the global market will depend on its capacity to convert scientific and technological knowledge into innovative products and services. Furthermore, the appeal of Europe will strongly depend on how its regions can conceive an inspiring, motivating and future-oriented environment for its citizens. The transformation of society by digital technologies is creating opportunities for Europe that a joint effort between the arts and technology could help fully exploit. In the digital world, Europe can stake a claim on leadership in ways of living and in those components of the digital revolution that most depend on creativity, i.e. broadly in ‘content’. A committed partnership between the arts and technology can make this claim a reality in areas as diverse as social inclusion, new digital media (augmented reality, new media such as social media, etc.), urban development (smart cities, Internet of Things, etc.) or the future of mobility.

Enhanced collaboration between the arts and technology would not only stimulate innovation and thereby enhance the competitiveness of Europe; it would also help unleash creativity in society and in European regions. Multiple presidency conclusions on ‘crossovers from culture to businesses’ have therefore invited the European institutions to consider enhancing collaboration between the arts and technology for a holistic exploration of opportunities that overcomes the traditional boundaries of sectors, disciplines or the culture-engineering divide.

The Commission has reacted by launching the STARTS initiative - innovation at the nexus of science, technology and the arts. This is a highly pertinent step focused on promoting innovation in industry, with the arts as the catalyst for unconventional thinking and exploration. The Commission is fostering innovation rooted in such collaboration by introducing lighthouse projects that will put forward the crucial role of the arts in tackling challenges in the context of the digital single market.

This preparatory action will build on the work carried out by the pilot projects preceding it and explore how to best introduce the programme across the board and have STARTS ideas extended from pure industrial settings to, for instance, areas of regional and urban development where the digital also plays a prominent role. It will develop a coherent horizontal framework for ‘art-technology’ thinking in Europe across sectors and disciplines as well as across pertinent activities of European institutions (including framework programmes structural funds and education programmes).

The preparatory action will create a network of key players from the art world (art institutions and artists engaging with technology), digital media relying on the arts for media content, industry that considers art as a means for exploration of possible applications, and regions and cities willing to create infrastructure to host collaborations of artists and technologists as a seed for urban development. It will support artistic explorations of technology, e.g. by supporting technologies for performances and installations, and will stimulate the most promising pathways by seed-funding ideas for art-technology collaborations. It will in particular foster practical mechanisms that help turn ideas emerging from such collaborative explorations into tangible assets for European society and industry.

Remarks

Sustainable water management is essential for Europe, given the global trend of ever-higher water consumption. Water scarcity and the role of water in a broader context of preservation of natural habitats must be tackled through methods for water reuse, reduction of waste and measures to conserve natural water habitats. The capacity of European regions to tackle the issue of water scarcity beyond resource efficiency is an important issue to address. It will in particular be important to enable multi-stakeholder governance of these scarce resources and to increase awareness of the fact that water is a valuable resource.

Opening up the traditional water sector to new technologies, in particular digital technologies, will help introduce efficiency and productivity in water management, but will also help raise awareness of the problems and position of sustainable water management in a broader context of sustainability and preservation. For example, data from sensors and robotics can help cope with water waste, virtual reality can introduce scenarios for future use of water resources, augmented reality can help evaluate different policies and help citizens better understand and react to water problems. An important aspect of the management of natural resources is community involvement (e.g. community-based measurements of pollution levels or water shortage), where digital technologies can play an important role.

Action must be taken to speak to the heart of innovators and to stimulate their minds to come up with creative solutions. The contention is that in this context new opportunities arise for joint efforts between digital technologies and artistic practices. Performance artworks and virtual or augmented reality can jointly address the need to raise awareness. Artists can come up with novel uses of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to help address water sustainability in new and unforeseen ways. Links between digital technologies and traditional crafts (such as, for example, boat building) can give rise to new forms of alliances for conserving water habitats by, for instance, linking cultural and ecological aspects for tourism.

The project will explore links between art and digital technologies for water management in given regional contexts and will mobilise the technological and cultural resources of European regions to help tackle the imminent challenge of water management.

Remarks

This pilot project will support actions in the area of independent and inclusive access to online content and services for people with cognitive disabilities. Building on the work of the W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative, under this project two specific actions will be taken. First, it will seek to create an overview of existing research/studies and identify gaps in web accessibility requirements for cognitive disabilities. The overview will then serve as guidance on practical measures to further accessibility. Second, it will seek to propose/promote tools drawing on artificial intelligence, machine learning or similar solutions to automate the transformation and/or adaptation of web content and services in a way that enables persons with cognitive disabilities to understand and use such content and services (content absorption). Equally, it will seek to propose the simplification or adaptation of web-authoring tools that persons with cognitive disabilities could use to create online content (content creation). The project may be implemented on the basis of a tender for the first action and a public grant for the second action(s); it may be implemented in a way that complements existing projects, but overlaps should be prevented.

The objective of the preparatory action is to continue the achievements of the previous pilot project, which, through specific actions, sought to increase critical thinking towards the media among citizens of all ages and to test the feasibility and usefulness of such actions. Critical thinking includes, among other skills, the ability to distinguish information from propaganda, to deconstruct media communication and information media policies and to interact with social media in a mindful way. Its implementation covered a wide range of Member States with the final goal of improving the technical, cognitive, social, civic and creative skills of citizens in order to stimulate their civic engagement and their awareness of the importance of taking action and directly participating in social and democratic life. Media is understood to mean all kinds of media outlets, such as radio, internet, broadcasting, newspapers and social media. The target group was composed of citizens of all ages, with a particular focus on minorities, low-skilled people and people at risk of being socially marginalised. The pilot project included social media campaigns, the creation of networks to share best practices, conferences, workshops and training programmes.

Cultural venues are evolving to combine film, music, live performances, exhibitions and events and offer learning opportunities such as workshops on, for example, new technologies. Therefore, the cinematic experience can be renewed, taking into account audiences’ needs and with a strong focus on attracting young audiences. The prototypes could be multifunctional venues for screenings, concerts and performances that also provide scope for virtual-reality experiences, gaming, debates, etc.

This preparatory action may complement funding from the Europa Cinemas network, which provides training and networking opportunities as well as financial support to theatres that screen an above-average number of non-national European films.

The preparatory action will test new cinema-going experiences, while taking into account local audiences’ needs, and will focus on:

(a)improving cinema infrastructure (e.g. improving cinema accessibility),

(b)audience development,

(c)building communities through learning experiences (offering a wide range of learning activities),

(d)testing new ways of rethinking the cinema experience and creating innovative cultural venues.

For more than 500 years the book industry has been a creative and innovative pioneer with a high impact on social and cultural development in Europe. Particularly the German book market, as the second-largest book market in the world, can be seen as a role model when it comes to cultural variety and technological standards.

Especially in times of fake news and information overload, media companies that provide orientation and reliable content are becoming more relevant. Such challenges as digitisation and monopolisation are forcing established players to demand a culture of collaboration and innovation. However, innovation programmes such as Horizon 2020 do not meet the needs of the creative and cultural industries. Hence, developing new approaches and products is difficult because of SME structures and for funding reasons.

Action required so as to ensure content variety in Europe and a leading role for European companies when it comes to innovative media:

—central meeting point: building an holistic platform for innovation in the content sector (virtual or otherwise);

—matchmaking: connecting different cultural and creative industries, tech companies, start-ups, research institutes and universities, and SMEs and corporations;

—the right mindset: engaging industry to develop new business models and technologies by creating a general framework for innovative thinking and working;

—technology transfer and collaboration: supporting the development of a digital infrastructure by European players in order to meet high demands and costs, which cannot be handled by individual companies.

The aim of this pilot project is to enable the European media sector to be ready and fit for the future. Overall, CONTENTshift will be a support network, where actors can find the right information, the right people and the right ideas for content innovation in Europe.

Pilot project — Supporting investigative journalism and media freedom in the EU

Remarks

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

This pilot project has two distinct objectives:

—providing financial support for investigative journalism,

—providing direct support for investigative journalism and protection of journalists exposed.

(1)As regards the first objective, the pilot project will create a permanent and dedicated fund for supporting independent investigative journalists. The goal is to provide financial resources to help journalists face potential legal proceedings, cooperate across borders and ensure their financial independence.

Quality investigative journalism requires proper tools and resources in order to continue to reveal wrongdoing throughout the Union and beyond its borders. That is why a Union financial instrument for supporting such projects is of utmost importance, its direct beneficiaries being European citizens. A dedicated Union financial instrument will be created that benefits legal entities (professional organisations and associations, consortiums, editors and publishers) without preventing individuals such as freelancers from applying for grants (provided that they meet certain criteria, which will have to be looked into as part of the project). This funding scheme will be managed by an independent intermediary organisation (with no national links). Applications for funding will be assessed by a team composed of members of the Commission, investigative journalists and other relevant experts.

Examples of projects that could be supported:

(a)documenting and investigating the use of European funds;

(b)mapping of organised crime entities in one or more Member States; eligible expenses could include training and tools such as software needed for aggregating data for public interest or experts’ input, or any other expenses contributing to the development of investigative capabilities;

(c)covering expenses for producing expensive documents required to support an investigation; in Romania, full release of land register documents costs up to EUR 800 (EUR 20 per page; in the United Kingdom, one page can cost up to GBP 9; in Malta, the cost is EUR 5 per sheet;

(d)subscriptions to software programmes correlating data and databases (costing up to EUR 10 000);

(e)television-related investigative projects; in some Central and Eastern European countries, television media freedom has been under constant threat, since most stations are owned or influenced media oligarchs; relevant studies in this field have been published by organisations such as the Centre for Media Transparency;

(f)Court costs relating to an earlier or ongoing investigation if there are clear links established with the investigation or work; in this specific instance, the fund could only be used to post bail or pay legal fees, but not fees relating to damages set in a judgment.

(2)As regards the second objective, the pilot project will set up a Europe-wide rapid response mechanism in direct support of investigative journalists with a view to strengthening press and media freedom in Member States and candidate countries. The purpose of the mechanism will be to make press freedom violations more visible as well as to protect journalists who are exposed. It will involve all stakeholders needed to counteract threats to press and media freedom. It will be flexible enough to adjust to rapidly changing needs. The scope of activities includes advocacy, fact-finding missions, and monitoring to inform the European public and to raise public awareness. It will provide direct support to journalists under threat in direct collaboration with European, regional and local stakeholders in the field of media freedom. This will include providing direct advice and legal support as well as offering shelter and assistance so that they can continue to pursue their profession. Representatives will be sent to countries affected and anti-impunity action will be supported through advocacy. Monitoring will provide reliable and comprehensive information for the public as well as European authorities while raising overall awareness and triggering early warnings. Instruments will be adjusted to accommodate individual needs on a case-by-case basis. This toolkit will prevent violations and will improve press and media freedom.

Pilot project — A European public sphere: a new online media offer for young Europeans

CommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPayments

Remarks

The project will address the failure to communicate Europe to younger generations of Europeans that is the result of a lack of a truly transnational public sphere for media, the fact that traditional media no longer attract young Europeans in the same way as the internet does and the fact that national media do not cover pan-European topics positively or in a way which unites people. Therefore, the project will more effectively portray the sense of togetherness which is at the heart of European identity and which is reflected in a common culture, similar lifestyles and shared values.

The younger generations of Europeans consume information and entertainment primarily online using new social media and content-sharing platforms. Therefore, it must be made clear that young Europeans get their information online. In order to enter into a dialogue about Europe via relevant themes and topics, attract younger European citizens to European ideas and values and empower truly European citizens through current and future information and dialogue platforms, the pilot project will take a radically new approach to providing news and information to young people.

The pilot project will be based on new concepts of editorial thinking, a new multiplatform strategy and a highly innovative and flexible technical infrastructure that allows fast adaptation, translation and conversion of content in many languages and formats across Europe, creating a highly innovative, digital product that intentionally stands out from traditional media.

The project is targeted at Europeans aged between 18 and 34 , i.e. at a time of life when many young people are developing their political views and laying the foundations for their professional and private lives. The focus is on informative, thought-provoking, entertaining and emotive content. All content will be bundled on one specific online service. Furthermore, it will be made accessible on all kinds of social media as well as other online gateways through which the target group can be reached.

The content will deal with topics that are of current interest for young Europeans in the Union and will be put into context in order to make it compelling and appealing to the target group. The European perspective will be created by comparing and contrasting regional experiences and points of view on matters of pan-European importance. Young Europeans share an interest in issues such as work, education, equality, love, culture and music. Nevertheless, there are significant differences between countries and between urban and rural areas. The aim is to address relevant topics of pan-European importance and at the same time provide a forum for local perspectives, allowing young users to identify strongly with the content.

Controversial opinions will provide an impetus for debate. On political issues, a personal approach makes it easier to understand the effects of institutional decisions. In this context, well-known influencers and local personalities from social networks will have their say in addition to actors from the political sphere in order to bridge the gap between European affairs and the everyday reality of users’ lives.

This ambitious pan-European and multilingual project will launch offline and online an open, true, deep and constructive debate about recent and future life in Europe among young Europeans, using innovative formats on digital platforms, with the ultimate goal of creating greater awareness about European visions and realities and enhancing Europeans’ commitment to European values and ideas so that they subsequently contribute to a more active civil society.

The project will build on a strong partnership of independent and innovative media across Europe, including the start-up and creative sector. The project will also benefit from substantial investment in research and innovation, e.g. in automated translation in the media sector.

Remarks

The Union has 24 official Member State languages. In addition, there are unofficial regional languages as well as minority languages and languages used by immigrants and important trading partners. Several studies have found a striking imbalance in terms of digital language technologies. Very few languages, such as English, French and Spanish, are well supported technologically, while more than 20 languages are in danger of digital extinction. The recent study ‘Language equality in the digital age’, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) panel, made 11 general recommendations on how to address this growing threat. It was followed up by a European Parliament resolution of 11 September 2018 on language equality in the digital age (on the basis of a joint CULT/ITRE report), making 45 general recommendations, several of which follow the STOA study.

Technology-enabled multilingualism is missing one crucial and mission-critical piece – a strategic research and implementation agenda. This pilot project will develop an agenda and a roadmap for achieving full digital language equality in Europe by 2030. In close collaboration with the European institutions, the project will bring together all stakeholders (including industry, research and innovation communities, national innovation organisations, national and international public administrations and associations), initiate a structured dialogue and public consultations, organise brainstorming sessions and conferences throughout Europe, and pull together all initiatives that are currently isolated and fragmented in order to produce a sustainable and interwoven strategy for human language technologies in Europe in all relevant sectors and areas of life, including trade, education, health, tourism, culture and governance. This will also extend to an investigation into the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on the linguistic landscape in Europe, including the ever-increasing brain drain of young talent to other continents.

Remarks

The pilot project involves proposing that grants be provided by the Commission to one or more NGOs in order to support initiatives for the swift removal of child sexual abuse material on the internet. It is important to help organisations already working proactively to build platforms and umbrella organisations so as to cooperate across all Member States. If stakeholders receive more funds, they will be able to cooperate more effectively to prevent the dissemination of such material. The pilot project will support cooperation between actors in the provision of training for staff, development of digital resources and exchange of information to detect and remove potential harmful material. As communication in this area needs to be safe and quick, such solutions should also be supported.

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

Differences between social groups on the basis of age, origin or income have been increasing in many European countries over the last few decades. Moreover, the economic crisis has accelerated certain macroeconomics trends and recovery has been uneven. Sluggish economic growth since the crisis has contributed to stagnant, or even falling, standards of living in many European households. Although inequality is predominately measured in terms of economic variables, such as earnings, income or wealth, there is a growing recognition that inequality is multidimensional and experienced across a number of life domains, such as health, physical security and participation. Oxfam Intermon and the London School of Economics, combining academic expertise with practitioner knowledge, have developed a systematic approach to conceptualising and measuring multidimensional inequality. Work shall be conducted with the advisor support of Eurofound and other possible partners. The Multidimensional Inequality Framework (MIF) developed through that collaboration is theoretically grounded in Amartya Sen’s capability approach and facilitates a systematic assessment of inequalities.

The MIF has been developed to allow for measurement of inequality between groups (age, gender, ethnicity, disability status, etc.), sometimes referred to as ‘horizontal inequality’ (e.g. inequality in the experience of physical violence or loneliness), and overall measures of inequality, sometimes referred to as ‘vertical inequality’ (e.g. inequality in educational attainment or wealth), which can also be expressed in terms of social gradients. Through the identification of drivers, the MIF also recognises the interconnections between dimensions; inequalities in one domain can be seen to drive inequalities in another.

The MIF offers European leaders a solid path not only to understand inequalities and their interconnections in seven life domains, but also to identify drivers and potential solutions to fight inequalities at Union level and in each Member State. The seven life domains around which the MIF is structured are:

(1)Life and health: Inequality in the capability to be alive and to live a healthy life;

(2)Personal safety and security: Inequality in the capability to live in physical safety and legal security;

(3)Education and learning: Inequality in the capability to be knowledgeable, to understand and reason, and to have the skills to participate in society;

(4)Financial security and dignified work: Inequality in the capability to achieve financial independence and security, enjoy dignified and fair work, and recognition of unpaid work and care;

(5)Comfortable, independent and secure living conditions: Inequality in the capability to enjoy comfortable, independent and secure living conditions;

(6)Participation, influence and voice: Inequality in the capability to participate in decision-making, have a voice and influence;

(7)Individual, family and social life: Inequality in the capability to enjoy individual, family and social life, to express yourself and to have self-respect.

The flexibility of the MIF means that it can be applied to a variety of situations: to assess current levels of inequalities, to make comparisons between countries, and to examine trends over time.

The pilot project should use this multidimensional approach to develop a rich understanding of inequalities and identify drivers and potential solutions for decision makers to take steps to reduce inequalities within the Union at three levels: (1) within the Union, treated as one population, (2) within each Member State, and (3) between Member States for a selected range of comparable inequality indicators. In the future it will be possible to examine trends over time and to assess the impact of macro-level shocks such as the financial crisis.

Former Item 13 03 77 26

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

In the Union there are about 25 billion square meters of built-up area, of which about 10 billion built before 1960 require substantial maintenance because of their structural condition, changes in environmental conditions and building sector regulations.

Particularly relevant is the seismic vulnerability that characterises the building heritage of Member States with medium and high seismic hazard such as Italy and Greece, where the seismic events of recent decades have claimed thousands of victims and caused extensive economic damage, but also in some areas of Member States at low rest, such as Germany, France and Spain. Likewise, the energy performance of European buildings is unsatisfactory: in fact, the energy consumed in buildings is one of the biggest sources of CO2 emissions in Europe. Therefore, an organic action plan is a primary objective for the Union in order to redevelop and modernise the existing building stock. In view of the huge number of constructions involved, the plan must be based on criteria of high efficiency and economic and environmental sustainability. That objective is comprehensively covered by Decision (EU) 2019/420 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 March 2019 amending Decision No 1313/2013/EU on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (OJ L 77I, 20.3.2019, p. 1). That Decision pays much more attention, with respect to the past, to prevention and to the role of the Union in this connection through increasingly effective integration between risk reduction policies and cohesion policies. This pilot project defines, including by examining specifically identified case studies, solutions that, at the same time and in the least invasive way, can both reduce seismic vulnerability and increase energy efficiency in such a way to produce a significant environmental impact (reduction of CO2 emissions, reduction of the waste that would be generated through widespread building replacement action, etc.) The measures to be developed should build on the experience already gained in the energy field on the basis of Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings (OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 13) and Directive 2012/27/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on energy efficiency, amending Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repealing Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/EC (OJ L 315, 14.11.2012, p. 1), albeit limited to building energy performance, and will be incorporated into a sustainable intervention process encompassing seismic reinforcement. The activities planned should be directly integrated into, and complementary with, those already under way within the Joint Research Centre, in particular under the SAFESUST project.

Remarks

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

This appropriation will be used for the Research and Training Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community (2019-2020) (‘Euratom Programme’) which is an integral part of Horizon 2020, the framework programme for research and innovation. The Euratom Programme will strengthen the research and innovation framework in the nuclear field and coordinate Member States’ research efforts, thereby avoiding duplication, retaining critical mass in key areas, and ensuring public funding is used in an optimal way.

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

The general objective of the Euratom Programme is to pursue nuclear research and training activities with an emphasis on continuous improvement of nuclear safety, security and radiation protection, in particular to potentially contribute to the long-term decarbonisation of the energy system in a safe, efficient and secure way. It will cover both RTD indirect actions on the fusion research and development, nuclear fission, safety and radiation protection research activities, as well as the Joint Research Centre (JRC) direct actions in nuclear security and safety. The JRC will provide independent customer-driven scientific and technological support for the implementation and monitoring of Community policies, in particular in the field of nuclear safety and security research and training. By achieving these objectives, the Euratom Programme will reinforce outcomes under the three priorities of the Horizon 2020: excellent science, industrial leadership and societal challenges. These objectives are clearly linked to those of the Europe 2020 and Energy 2020 strategies and the creation and operation of the European Research Area.

In accordance with Article 7 of the Euratom Treaty, the 2014-2018 Euratom Programme is bound by a five-year timeframe. The 2019-2020 Euratom Programme ensures the seamless continuation of the programme in 2019-2020. This approach ensures the continuity and coherence of action throughout the full seven-year period, 2014-2020, and therefore greater coherence with the Horizon 2020 timeline. This is all the more important in view of the fact that the Euratom Programmes and Horizon 2020 pursue mutually reinforcing objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to finance the following activities for closer dialogue with the fishing industry and those affected by the common fisheries policy and the integrated maritime policy:

—grants to Advisory Councils (ACs) (following the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the seven existing Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) were transformed into ACs and three new ones were created) to cover operational costs, as well as interpretation and translation costs of AC meetings,

—the implementation of measures to provide documentation about and explain the common fisheries policy aimed at the fishing industry and those affected by the common fisheries policy, as well as the integrated maritime policy.

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

Part of this appropriation is earmarked also for information and communication activities linked to the common fisheries policy and the integrated maritime policy, as well as for communication activities addressed to the interested parties. Efforts continue to be made to inform the stakeholders and the specialised media in the Member States, as well as in the candidate countries about the common fisheries policy and the integrated maritime policy.

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

Remarks

Europe is a key market for the global cruise industry. In 2015 the global cruise industry carried 25 300 000 passengers, accounting for 956 597 jobs and generating total spending of USD 117 000 000 000 worldwide. The demand for cruise travel increased by 62 % in the ten years from 2005 to 2015.

All of this translates into economic value and jobs for Europe. However, the coastal and maritime regions need to create conditions to better integrate the advantages of cruise tourism. With that in mind, the preparatory action will establish a Charter of Good Practices for Cruises on the basis of the existing pan-European dialogue between cruise operators, ports and coastal tourism stakeholders. The focus should be on the environmental impact of receiving cruiseships, but also on the social impact and the way in which reception facilities at ports and in the regions concerned are to be adapted. This charter will cover the following:

—a design for a process to integrate all the maritime stakeholders involved,

—environmental aspects and mitigation policies to reduce externalities,

—social and economic dimension of cruises in the regions concerned,

—need for coordination between cruise ports and cities,

—best practices already in place.

This charter will make it possible to reduce externalities resulting from cruise activities and trigger more economic and social benefits for cities and their inhabitants. One example is the exchange of best practices on managing congestion in peak season. The charter will also help enhance mutual understanding between cruise ports and city authorities. Moreover, the scope of the charter needs to extend to the possible environmental impact of cruise services, and it will help raise awareness of best practices already in place at various cruise ports in order to avoid duplication.

Environmental and climate risks involve challenges that are not appropriately taken into account by the financial sector. Between 60 and 80 % of the coal, oil and gas reserves of publicly listed companies are ‘unburnable’ if the world is to have a chance of keeping global warming well below 2 °C and as closely as possible to 1,5 °C as agreed at the COP21 in Paris. This means in practice that a very substantial source of global systemic risk is currently embedded within the Union and global financial markets due to such ‘carbon stranded assets’.

As the Commission points out in its action plan for financing sustainable growth, adopted in March 2018, ‘The increase in weather-related natural disasters means that insurance companies need to prepare for higher costs. Banks will also be exposed to greater losses due to the lower profitability of companies most exposed to climate change or highly dependent on dwindling natural resources (...) close to 50 % of the exposure of euro area banks to risk is directly or indirectly linked to risks stemming from climate change’.

As part of its action plan for financing sustainable growth, the Commission came up with a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (COM(2018)0353). The aim was to embed the future Union sustainability taxonomy in Union law and provide the basis for using such a classification system in different legal framework, such as that for banking prudential standards. The Commission also set up in July 2018 a technical expert group on sustainable finance. The group published, based on broad consultation of all relevant stakeholders, a report providing a first taxonomy with a particular focus on climate change mitigation activities.

In the same context, the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic Affairs adopted a report on sustainable finance that asked the Commission to adopt a regulatory strategy and a roadmap aimed inter alia at measuring sustainability risks within the Basel IV prudential framework for banks. The report includes a commitment to initiate a Union pilot project within the next annual budget so as to start developing a methodology with that purpose as well as a call for introducing European ‘carbon stress tests’ and a roadmap towards a mandatory reporting of ‘carbon stranded assets’.

This pilot project supports the activities of the Commission as well as of the expert group on sustainable finance by providing dedicated resources for exploring how to develop methodologies that could be used by supervisors for measuring the intensity of climate/environmental risks to which banks are exposed (including risks related to the depreciation of assets due to changes in regulatory treatment). Such dedicated resources also support capacity building for developing an underlying methodology for ‘carbon stress tests’.

Methodologies will have to be based on specific qualitative criteria and quantitative indicators and will be used by supervisors to assess (i) whether banks manage the abovementioned risks properly and (ii) whether the overall business strategy and investment policy of a bank is aligned with the Paris targets and Union-related environmental, social and governance goals. The pilot project is expected to build on the Union taxonomy to be laid down by the expert group and further developed by the platform to be set up by the Commission.

Preparatory action — Analysing the consequences of common ownership by institutional investors

Remarks

Currently, there is a massive shift of money away from actively managed funds and into index funds that passively track established benchmark indices. There are a number of reasons for this recent development. First, private pensions have become more important and investors are looking for low-cost products as offered by passively managed funds in order to maximise their profits. Second, Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (OJ L 173, 12.6.2014, p. 349) has entered into force and introduces stricter governance, accountability and transparency requirements that large investment firms can more easily meet.

Since the index funds industry is highly concentrated in three large investment firms located outside the Union, the high growth of index funds is leading to a concentration of ownership in European publicly listed corporations. Additionally, the shift to passively managed index funds increases the market power of the small group of virtually unstudied index providers setting the criteria for the inclusion of companies in key benchmark indices. This situation first and foremost gives cause for concern for the corporate governance of European firms, including but not limited to codetermination, long-term investments and location choice. Furthermore, ‘common ownership’ raises competition concerns. Moreover, the ongoing concentration process within the asset management industry may also have potentially negative consequences for financial stability in the Union.

This pilot project will conduct the first analysis of the consequences of common ownership in European publicly listed corporations by institutional investors. The analysis will be three-pronged, combining (1) the first truly comprehensive empirical mapping of common ownership in the Member States of the Union with (2) an analysis of the voting behaviour of the large index investment firms in European companies, (3) expert interviews with market participants and company executives about the influence of both index investment firms and index providers and (4) the impact on corporate governance, competition and financial stability in the Union.

Pilot project — Feasibility study for a European asset registry in the context of the fight against money laundering and tax evasion

Remarks

As demonstrated by recent media investigations into tax evasion and money laundering, such as the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers, the use of ‘offshore’ structures, such as companies, trusts, foundations and financial instruments held in or via other jurisdictions, allows not only the real ownership of wealth, but also its location and perhaps its very existence, to remain hidden. In the short to medium term, this secrecy allows wealth to escape taxation but also creates fertile ground for financial crimes such as corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and avoidance, and the funding of terrorism. In the longer term, this secrecy helps fuel inequality as approximately 50% of the wealth hidden offshore (wealth held offshore and not reported to authorities) belongs to the top 0.01% of the wealthiest people in the world. Offshore wealth is likely therefore to be a key factor responsible for exacerbating wealth inequality if it remains undertaxed.

Some progress have been made in the past to tackle secrecy, especially at Union level. Many Member States have land registries; they have adopted the directive on administrative cooperation to automatically exchange financial information among themselves (including bank accounts); and with the revision of the anti-money laundering directive, they will soon all have public registries of beneficial owners of companies and registries of trusts’ beneficial owners accessible to persons with a legitimate interest in obtaining that information .

However, there are still gaps in the availability of important information in order to properly be able to tax wealth in the Union and fight money laundering. Having a less fragmented approach across the Union would be beneficial. The Union should consider the feasibility of and arrangements for creating a Union-wide registry in which details of ownership of certain types of assets are recorded, in order to ensure the necessary linkages between existing transparency mechanisms and with a view to adding new key information necessary to fight tax evasion and money laundering.

The pilot project should be used by the Commission to explore how to better collect and link full beneficial ownership information (e.g. registries of land, companies, trusts and foundations; and central depositories of securities ownership) and analyse areas for further work (e.g. design, scope and capacity constraints) for such a Union registry. The Commission should pay special attention to the scope for including other assets in that registry (e.g. bitcoins, art, gold and properties) and to the IT requirements and take into consideration privacy issues.

By mapping existing information (in a public and non-public form) and through exchanges with experts in the relevant field (taxation, corruption, money laundering, financial markets, IT and law), this pilot project will provide recommendations for the possible creation of an asset registry which could be turned into policy action in the future if technical and political conditions were met.

Article 175 TFEU provides that the objectives of economic, social and territorial cohesion set out in Article 174 shall be supported by the action it takes through the Structural Funds, which includes the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

Assigned revenue received under Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations under this chapter, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Union urban development policy, and international cooperation on urban policy, is moving forward in areas such as smart cities, waste management and climate change adaptation. Other areas are much less tested. Accordingly, this pilot project will test international experience and examine best practice regarding four sustainable urban development themes which are relatively neglected and yet are crucially important for the quality of life in cities inside and outside the Union. These are areas in which cities across the world, including in less prosperous countries, have much experience to offer Union cities. For example, a fundamentally important field is the circular economy, where Union cities have much to learn from non-Union cities. Janez Potočnik, former European Commissioner and now Co-Chair of the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Resource Panel, has said that ‘transition to the circular economy is not only necessary, it is unavoidable’. This is therefore one of the four key areas where there is a need to test new practices on the basis of international experience, which in turn can point the way for future Union urban development programmes under cohesion policy. To ensure the success of this cooperation it is important that it involve the stakeholders inside and outside the Union, notably the research community and the private sector.

Remarks

This preparatory action follows up on the success of the pilot project entitled: European Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) – generation and preparation of initiatives and projects with a genuine added value for the region as a whole.

The Adriatic Ionian Network of Universities, Regions, Chambers of Commerce and Cities (AI-NURECC) initiative involving key stakeholders in the Adriatic and Ionian regions, who have joined forces to support implementation of the EUSAIR, will take more effective ownership of the EUSAIR’s main objectives and opportunities, at regional and local level, and foster the sound implementation of its action plan.

The AI-NURECC initiative is being coordinated by the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions with support from four partners in the area: the Adriatic Ionian Euroregion, the Forum of Adriatic and Ionian Cities, the Forum of the Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce, and UniAdrion.

The initial AI-NURECC initiative ran for 18 months (ending in autumn 2018) and feedback from stakeholders and participants showed the need for a second, extended initiative.

The AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will run for 36 months.

The AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will:

—Enhance regional and local authorities’ ownership of the EUSAIR’s main objectives and opportunities, promoting an efficient participatory and bottom-up approach;

—Promote the development of sustainable tourism, focusing on the eight priority activities for Thematic Steering Group (TSG) 4 as set out in the report in connection with the EUSAIR national tourism strategies on common priorities and actions in relation to the EUSAIR action plan – Pillar IV: ‘Sustainable Tourism’ – and support the implementation of the activities in cooperation with TSG 4 members;

—Encourage multi-actor networking and collaboration among representatives of the private and public sector and civil society so as to:

—foster coordination of Union, national, regional and local policies to develop a circular economy;

—work on territorial challenges in specific Adriatic and Ionian territories (mountains, islands and sparsely populated areas) by linking the EUSAIR to the new territorial agenda and supporting regions with specific territorial challenges (existing platforms, young people in areas with territorial challenges) with a view to establishing a dialogue;

—increase the skills and knowledge of young people, students and civil servants, including those in areas with territorial challenges;

—promote the EUSAIR cross-pillar topics ‘Research and Innovation’, ‘SME Development’ and ‘Capacity Building’, i.e. to support entrepreneurship, transnational clusters and digital innovation hub activities for the EUSAIR, and contribute to disseminating and strengthening the existing RIS3 platforms and working on new ones, where appropriate.

—Enable synergies with the EUSAIR TSGs;

—Promote synergies with other initiatives (WESTMED, BLUEMED) or other macroregional strategies (EUSDR, EUSBSR, EUSALP).

The target groups of the AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will be:

—regional and local government practitioners;

—universities, vocational education and training institutions, students and student associations;

—young people, including unemployed young people;

—regional or local development agencies;

—chambers of Commerce;

—small and medium-sized enterprises;

—creative and cultural industries;

—private investors;

—island, rural and mountainous communities and networks.

The activities undertaken by the AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will be to:

—Organise AI-NURECC training seminars focused on different thematic areas and cross-cutting issues (sustainable tourism, blue growth, SME development, R&I, etc.);

—Deal with RIS3, innovation and SME development issues within the strategy;

—Create the AI-NURECC scholarship fund (a six-month free internship in an innovative Adriatic-Ionian enterprise);

—Develop specific studies (e.g. on how to tackle challenges affecting the development of sustainable AI cruise tourism, maritime western silk roads, indicators and data collections for EUSAIR islands, etc.).

The territorial scope of the AI-NURECC initiative spin-off will be the EUSAIR macroregion.

Activities, where possible, should target or be implemented in AI territories with specific challenges (e.g. mountains, islands and sparsely populated areas).

Given the activities that the AI-NURECC initiative spin-off aims to deliver, implementation of specific actions will also involve associated partners.

Pilot project — BEST Culture: programme to support cultural diversity in Union outermost regions and overseas countries and territories

Remarks

The outermost regions (ORs) and overseas countries and territories (OCTs) are a source of immeasurable cultural wealth for the Union. That is demonstrated in particular by the fact that UNESCO classifies two ancestral cultural practices from those regions –‘maloya’ from Réunion and ‘gwoka’ from Guadeloupe – as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

The Union’s specific approach to ORs and OCTs should also be the basis for establishing an initiative to safeguard the identity and cultural diversity of those regions that primarily benefits European indigenous peoples such as Guyana’s Amerindians.

Along the lines of the BEST programme for promoting and supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services, the BEST Culture pilot project will set up a dedicated mechanism for ORs and OCTs in order to safeguard and promote local and indigenous culture and provide a vehicle for local knowledge and popular arts and practices, which act as a unifying factor for overseas communities. It will set up a financing mechanism specifically given over to safeguarding, supporting and fostering the indigenous cultural richness of ORs and OCTs, as well as to promoting the territories and peoples concerned, and providing for cultural exchanges, among themselves and across the Union.

The pilot project will address all living traditions and expressions inherited from ancestors and passed on to descendants, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals and festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe, and the knowledge and know-how necessary for traditional craftsmanship. The pilot project will extend to the entire geographical area of the ORs and OCTs. Any persons or organisations located in that geographical area will be eligible to take part in the pilot project, provided that the main purpose of their actions is to safeguard and promote the traditional culture of ORs and OCTs.

Other Union programmes, such as Creative Europe, could complement the pilot project’s objective of safeguarding traditional culture and be used, for example, to disseminate cultural knowledge and practices throughout the Union via Union communication networks and media.

By bringing greater prominence to ORs’ and OCTs’ identity and history, which also tie in with those of continental Europe, the pilot project will help continue the process of making ORs and OCTs better known. Promoting the local cultures of continental Europe’s remote territories would therefore fully reflect the Union’s motto ‘United in diversity’ and would also combat certain prejudices.

Remarks

The second paragraph of Article 177 TFEU provides that a Cohesion Fund is to be set up to support projects in the fields of the environment and trans-European networks in the area of transport infrastructure.

Article H of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1164/94, Articles 100 and 102 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, and Articles 85, 144 and 145 of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 on criteria for financial corrections by the Commission provide for specific rules on financial corrections applicable to the Cohesion Fund.

Article 101 of the Financial Regulation provides for financial corrections in the event of expenditure incurred in breach of applicable law. Any revenue from the financial corrections carried out on that basis is entered in Article 6 5 1, 6 5 2, 6 5 3 or 6 5 4 of the statement of revenue and constitutes assigned revenue in accordance with point (c) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Point (b) of Article 12(4) of the Financial Regulation lays down the conditions for the repayment in full, or in part, of prefinancing payments in respect of a given operation.

Article 82 of Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for specific rules on repayment of prefinancing applicable to the Cohesion Fund.

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

Assigned revenue received under Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this chapter, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 1 051 597 000.

Anti-fraud operations will be financed under Article 24 02 01.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the continuation of aid under Regulation (EC) No 389/2006 to facilitate the reunification of Cyprus by encouraging the economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community with particular emphasis on economic integration of the island, on improving contacts between the two communities and with the Union and on preparation for the application of the acquis communautaire. Assistance is delivered in the areas specified in that Regulation, and includes notably the promotion of social and economic development, the development and restructuring of infrastructure, reconciliation, confidence building measures and support to civil society, bringing the Turkish Cypriot community closer to the Union, including scholarships for Turkish Cypriot students. Also, the TAIEX instrument is used for the preparation of legal texts for the purpose of these being applicable upon the entry into force of a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem, as well as for the preparation of the Union acquis immediately following a political settlement for reunification.

The appropriations will, in particular, allow for the continuation of Union financial support to facilitate the intensification of the work of the Committee on Missing Persons in order to meet the goals of its strategic plan on the faster identification of missing persons, as well as the implementation of the decisions of the bi-communal Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, which should include projects of minorities.

This appropriation is to be used, inter alia, to sustain the outcome of works, supplies and grants being funded under earlier allocations. In addition, grant schemes addressed to a large variety of economic and civil society beneficiaries (non-governmental organisations, students and teachers, schools, farmers, small villages, and the private sector) may continue. These activities aim at socio-economic development and are driven by the prospect of reunification. Priority should be given, where possible, to reconciliation projects that create bridges between the two communities and build confidence. These measures underline the strong desire and commitment of the Union to the Cyprus problem settlement and reunification.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Assigned revenue received under Articles 5 2 2, 6 6 0 and 9 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under these Articles, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenses for the implementation of the Structural Reform Support Programme in order to contribute to institutional, administrative and growth-sustaining structural reforms in the Member States by providing support to national authorities for measures aimed at reforming and strengthening institutions, governance, public administration, and economic and social sectors in response to economic and social challenges, with a view to enhancing cohesion, competitiveness, productivity, sustainable growth, job creation; investment and social inclusion and to contributing to real convergence in the Union.

Remarks

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

New tax standards have been recently agreed and implemented to increase automatic exchange of tax information among tax authorities. Whether they are national (but with international effect, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act in the US) or international (such as the OECD Common Reporting Standards, implemented in the Union through Council Directive 2011/16/EU of 15 February 2011 on administrative cooperation in the field of taxation and repealing Directive 77/799/EEC (OJ L 64, 11.3.2011, p. 1)), the standards aim to curb tax evasion by individuals by ensuring greater access to information by tax authorities. This pilot project measures to what extent these measures are effective in curbing international tax evasion, since tax evaders might find new loopholes or shift their wealth to less compliant jurisdictions. On the basis of an analysis of data from multiple sources, including but not limited to the IMF, the Bank for International Settlements, the Commission and academics, this pilot project will present a study on cross-border transactions involving personal wealth (and therefore potentially relevant for tax evasion by individuals) such as portfolio investments, loans and deposits or foreign direct investments. The study will also look at potential new loopholes to be exploited in order to circumvent these standards (e.g. citizenship/residency programmes or other aggressive tax competition measures for high-net-worth individuals). The project builds on ongoing studies by the Commission (on the evaluation of Directive 2011/16/EU on administrative cooperation and on tax evasion by individuals) which were due in early 2019. With a timeframe of two years (2019-2020) and in a spirit of complementarity, this research will provide additional geographical and statistical information on offshore financial centres and their impact for the fight against tax evasion in the Union.

Remarks

The abundance of money laundering, tax evasion and tax avoidance revelations over the last few years has significantly shaken the confidence of European citizens, businesses and trade unions in the robustness and fairness of EU rules against money laundering, tax evasion and tax avoidance. When three out of four citizens expect the European Union to do more on taxation, it is essential to ensure that public interests and interests of all stakeholders are taken into account in designing initiatives to strengthen European rules against financial crimes, tax evasion and tax avoidance

This preparatory action will create a specialised and independent observatory on EU tax and financial crime matters, its main functions being to:

—create a publicly-accessible repository of data on tax evasion and tax avoidance in the EU and the effects of policy reform in these domains;

—disseminate the available data in a user-friendly manner and inform the wider public of issues relating to tax fairness, including related issues such as anti-money-laundering rules, for business and individual taxpayers and the wider public;

—provide secretarial and management functions for a future multi-stakeholder expert forum, which inter alia would be a consultative body in charge of methodological guidance in the area of taxation and financial crime;

—produce evidence and recommendations relating to combating tax evasion, tax avoidance and financial crime on the basis of the work of the forum;

—liaise with different international organisations and national administrations on issues relating to EU tax and anti-money-laundering policymaking (i.e. anti-money-laundering legislation is necessary to counter tax evasion).

Given the role of this observatory, implementation of this preparatory action should be led by the Commission’s DG TAXUD, in close collaboration with other relevant DGs.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 58(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

Remarks

This preparatory action serves as a follow-up to the first trial conducted in 2018 prior to setting up a fully-fledged programme providing every European turning 18 with a free travel pass. The objective is not only to give them an opportunity to explore Europe’s cultural diversity, but also, more importantly, to better connect young people with European identity and raise awareness of the Union’s core values.

Because of low purchasing power, cultural obstacles and a lack of inclusive and targeted projects, a substantial number of very young Europeans have never or rarely travelled within Europe. This is particularly true for particular regions of Europe and for low-income families. Although educational exchange programmes exist and have benefited many Europeans, the Union has still not managed to set up an easy and inclusive tool providing any European, regardless of social or educational background, with a travel experience that would foster a European identity, familiarise them with a sustainable and clean mode of transport, and connect them with other cultures.

The European Parliament has repeatedly welcomed the DiscoverEU initiative and stressed that, if it were socially and geographically inclusive and at all times tied in with educational and cultural objectives, it could offer younger generations a chance to take advantage of freedom of movement and travel in an environment-friendly way.

The first steps under the initial project were taken in 2018 and have made it possible to explore the conditions needed for the operational aspects to be successful. Insight from the initial trial could be fine-tuned to ensure that more youngsters benefit from the project and correct shortcomings found during the first year of implementation by meeting the following key requirements and objectives:

Principal requirements:

The Commission must build on the first year of implementation of the preparatory action; however, the preparatory action must be seen as unique and independent, in particular with a view to targeting young people who are currently not covered by any programme of the Union.

Accordingly, programmes such as Erasmus+ must not be affected by the preparatory action.

The preparatory action will cover young people from all Member States regardless of whether they are part of the Interrail network (the five Member States currently not covered being Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Cyprus)

Action points:

—pursuing contact with and involving the relevant stakeholders regarding the product offered to young people turning 18;

—determining the number of young people who could be given the pass;

—purchasing passes;

—distributing passes to beneficiaries;

—defining precisely what the DiscoverEU pass is to cover so as to match young people’s travel patterns (duration, validity, seasonal requirements, time and budgetary constraints, load factors);

—making the system more user-friendly for 18-year-olds applying for passes;

—improving the process for selecting the users who will benefit from the preparatory action, including defining criteria allowing inter alia all Member States to be covered, including the five that are currently not covered by the Interrail network, i.e. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Cyprus, and better targeting young people who are not already benefiting from a European programme;

—improving the voucher scheme for distributing and personalising passes in close cooperation with relevant stakeholders;

—investigating together with the relevant stakeholders, mechanisms to encourage specific itineraries for young people to really experience Europe (to include less ‘popular’ destinations);

—improving the arrangements for publicising the programme, so as to ensure visibility, with a particular focus on linking the initiative to a campaign on European identity and values;

—developing a creative and participative way for users to share and follow-up their experience (e.g. a photo competition and exhibition in the European Parliament and social media contributions).

The preparatory action should be implemented in 2020.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action is aimed to provide an opportunity for sport support team staff (sportsmen’s and sportswomen’s entourages) to improve their qualifications and acquire new skills through spending a period abroad (inside and outside the Union). Opportunities for learning mobility in this context are provided for:

—coaching staff — volunteers — professional sport,

—coaching staff — volunteers in not-for-profit sports organisations.

In a second phase, the preparatory action is aimed to support sportsmen and sportswomen in pursuing dual careers through exchanges (with Member States as well as third countries), with a focus on education without jeopardising their sporting careers. This will enhance their future employability as well as their personal development.

The initiative is based on the following:

—exchanges,

—placements,

—periods of study,

—job-shadowing.

The action could have an impact in three major fields:

—improving the knowledge and know-how of sport support team staff,

—allowing students who play sport to have access to training sessions (including facilities) on the same conditions as nationals,

—developing international cooperation in the field of mobility and education in sport.

The expected outcomes include:

(1)a regular exchange scheme for sport support team staff;

(2)establishment of European networks of coaches and sport support team staff and, during the second phase, of dual-career service providers.

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

Organisations that encourage and support European cities to excel in sport have greatly contributed to the promotion of physical activities. Moreover, they have helped municipalities throughout Europe to score major achievements such as increasing the percentage of people who practice sport, integrating communities and social sectors, attracting investment to the community, generating new opportunities, increasing focus on sport policies involving other areas such as education, health, social affairs and tourism. All this has been done under the Union brand, with a common sense of belonging, and European pride at the same time. Increased support for organisations promoting sport and physical activity at municipal level, in particular in the context of the European Capital, City, Community and Town of Sport, will certainly have a great impact, and furthermore increase the associated benefits of sport and physical activity for all citizens. There is a clear need to support organisations that work all year round in this field in terms of capacity building, networking and ability to develop specific projects at local level.

This preparatory action is aimed to support organisations that promote sport initiatives at local level with the goal of disseminating the positive values of sport.

The main goals of this action are to:

—make it possible for the relevant organisations to develop a European approach to promoting sport at local level, helping them to become financially sustainable promoters of sport activities among the European public, on the basis of the principles of good governance, as promoted by international organisations and the Commission,

—create or develop a network of cities and towns so that they can exchange best practices in the field,

—raise awareness about strategies as to how local authorities, through their decisions and activities, can positively influence the well-being of the people who live there through sport and physical activity,

—work with European sports policymakers to achieve the same objectives in line with possible changes in sports policy.

Remarks

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

This appropriation covers support for sport-related projects, organised by local actors and civil society, targeting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds — especially those who are considered at risk of radicalisation— with the aim of preventing marginalisation and radicalisation, tackling inequalities and helping these youngsters to find an identity and a sense of belonging.

Sports activities are extremely well-suited for community-building and strengthen social inclusion by respecting diversity and multicultural communities. Therefore, projects under this preparatory action will intend to offer sports, education and job coaching to teach essential skills, such as social and communicative competences, critical thinking and problem-solving.

Projects will ideally be organised in partnership with local authorities and be embedded in a wider anti-radicalisation action plan. Involvement of local organisations, well-acquainted with the local social fabric, will contribute to well-targeted actions and to a more structural approach to the challenges concerned.

Pilot project — A first step towards a European framework for mobility for makers

Remarks

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

The proliferation of makerspaces - 600 set up in Europe in 17 years - has not been paralleled by full interconnection between the centres concerned. That has already been established and demonstrated in various projects funded via Erasmus+ (Key Action: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices) such as ARTFIX, A Knowledge Alliance between HEIs, Makers and Manufacturers to Boost Open Design & Manufacturing in Europe, Fostering use of technical spaces in higher education, Makersspace for Inclusion.

Unfortunately, initiatives in this area do not cite mobility as one way of strengthening existing networks and encouraging innovation within them. The pilot project is part of an approach intended to address that shortcoming: mobility will make it possible to step up expansion of makerspaces and to interconnect these innovation centres more effectively. That will promote the exchange of good practices, knowledge and know-how, fostering the creation of a knowledge-based economy within a network already established in Europe. Through innovation, exchanges between maker communities would highlight different cultures and languages and would develop in each a strong sense of belonging to the Union.

Although there are provisions promoting learner mobility between the various training centres under the current Erasmus+ programme and in the Commission proposal for the next MFF, the opportunities for mobility for learners and teachers in makerspaces are not being sufficiently exploited.

To address these shortcomings, the pilot project will transpose best practices that have already been consolidated in the other mobility schemes under the Erasmus + programme, such as mobility for apprentices (Erasmus Pro) and for students (Erasmus).

Objectives

The preliminary objective is to enable the Union to identify and understand the maker network and to target its support by 2027, and to formally recognise the maker movement and validate the outcomes of innovation in fab labs.

The pilot project was to initially focus on ‘official’ fab labs, since they are recognised by the Fab Lab Foundation at MIT, because they comply with the Fab Lab Charter, and they already have an identified global network. The project will strengthen this sound basis by facilitating and encouraging mobility.

In addition, the mobility arrangements available are intended for learners and teachers in makerspaces in all Member States, thus going beyond existing restrictive collaborative frameworks that cover only a limited number of countries.

This first stage will lead on to the ultimate objective of the project, which is to establish a European framework for mobility for makers. This calls for obstacles to mobility to be eliminated and for soft skills to be recognised, which would enhance the employability and creativity of the young people involved. This framework should be backed up by a structured organisational set-up (e.g. services, including transport, accommodation, language courses, practical information and insurance agreements). Lastly, the approach taken must be coherent so that the benefits of mobility can be validated. The pilot project is supposed to be accessible to all categories of learners and teachers working in fab labs, in particular young people from disadvantaged social groups.

Mobility will make it easier to give all makers access to the various items of equipment available in the various fab labs, ultimately ensuring that the same expensive equipment is not duplicated across the network. Resource pooling is expected to result in specialisation by the various centres that have equipment and specific knowledge enabling them to become attractive centres of excellence.

Establishing this European framework will symbolise what could be the first building block in an intergenerational European programme embedded in a network that already exists, and is being expanded, in all Member States.

Actions proposed

In order to realise these objectives, the following non-exhaustive list of actions is proposed:

(1)contact seminar;

(2)benchmarking;

(3)survey OUT, fab labs (public institutions, Member States);

(4)survey IN, fab labs (within existing networks);

(5)assessment of opportunities and obstacles;

(6)mobilisation of partners.

Remarks

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

This appropriation is for a preparatory action with the same name as an earlier pilot project.

In recent years, the European project has been seemingly weakened from within and from without. Citizens’ trust needs to be restored, while knowledge of the European integration process and awareness of European culture and values need to be disseminated as widely as possible.

The pilot project was launched symbolically on the 30th anniversary of the death of Altiero Spinelli, one of the founding fathers of the European Union. Now, building on the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, concrete efforts must be undertaken to address a certain ‘disenchantment’ with the Union.

The aim of the Altiero Spinelli Prize for Outreach is to encourage, reward and provide European level recognition of and visibility for high-quality contributions dedicated to:

(1)promoting knowledge of the Union and critical reflection on the past, present and future of the Union among non-specialist audiences and the general public. The role of citizens and civil society organisations in the European integration process, the intellectual history of European integration and the life and works of Altiero Spinelli fall under this category;

(2)enhancing citizens’ understanding of the values, objectives and benefits of the European integration process, of the enormous accomplishments of the Union but also of failures, contradictions and dilemmas. Improving the general public’s understanding of the theory of models of integration (e.g. trade agreements, international organisations, federations) and comparative studies of existing integration models (e.g. the Union, African Union, Mercosur, United States of America, Canada) falls under this category;

(3)proposing, testing and assessing innovative approaches and materials that European and national policy-makers, practitioners, civil society organisations and institutions in various fields can use to better inform, educate, inspire and empower citizens to develop positive and positively critical European identities and a European sense of belonging;

(4)exposing anti-Union populist myths about various aspects of the European integration process, including extremist rhetoric based on intolerance and misinformation about the legitimacy, competences and actual work of the Union.

The prize is not intended to reward research as such; rather, it will be awarded for outstanding work that draws upon and best exploits, popularises, effectively communicates and spreads to wider society and to ordinary citizens the findings, knowledge and insights emerging from research into European integration processes, for example through publications, the media, newspapers, films and documentaries, as well as through institutional initiatives.

The prize was to be awarded to attractive, appealing, user-friendly, evidence-based/informed, scientifically rigorous, myth-busting and inspiring work that has a strong potential to achieve the objectives outlined above and that is suitable for outreach to a variety of lay, non-academic and non-specialist audiences.

There should be cooperation with existing programmes, e.g. Jean Monnet Actions, and also existing bodies, e.g. the Historical Archives of the European Union at the European University Institute.

Remarks

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

The Jan Amos Prize will be a Union-wide prize for the best secondary school teacher teaching about the Union; it is intended to strengthen the European dimension in school education. The name is taken from the first names of Comenius, the ‘teacher of nations’. The prize will reward the most attractive, innovative and informative methods used when teaching about the Union to secondary school pupils (15-19). Pupils in participating schools throughout the Union will elect their candidates. A selection board will choose three finalists and a winner (who will receive a cash prize at an award ceremony in the European Parliament).

Pupils will have to provide a video of their teacher teaching about the Union; videos will be available to all participants and – in case of the finalists – for the ceremony. The process could be coordinated by the European Parliament and Commission Representations in Member States. Involvement of youth organisations (e.g. the European Youth Parliament) is sought.

The selection process will be based on a set of criteria known to participants in advance. The aspects to be assessed include originality and innovations, implementation, quality of learning content, and pupils’ factual knowledge. In addition, the teachers will be nominated and introduced by their pupils.

The proposed budget will cover the necessary costs: the prize for winners, the cost of media campaigns, travel expenses and additional costs.

In Member States, calls for proposals will be issued in order to reach out to participating schools. The prize is inspired by the Czech national award for teachers: the Golden Amos.

—existing well-performing recognition systems;

—the results of the public consultation conducted in January 2018 by the Commission and the European Federation for Intercultural Learning study ‘Recognition of school study periods abroad in Europe – an overview and policy recommendations’;

—the work carried out in connection with the EU Key Competences Framework and by relevant associations and institutions;

—the ‘Comenius individual pupil mobility’ pilot project carried out in 2007-2008, which laid the foundations for launching the Commission funding programme in 2009.

The specific activities are:

(1)analysing how the key principles of the Council Recommendation can be applied to national education systems and contexts in Member States, and proposing potential ways forward for the adoption of national-level policies;

(2)testing the recognition frameworks developed on a significant sample of exchange students;

(3)creating an online platform that will allow users to navigate across different systems and understand procedures and requirements, linking in with the School Education Gateway;

(4)developing a conceptual model for training relevant education stakeholders in competence-based assessment after a school study period abroad; this will be done in cooperation with relevant associations, networks and institutions;

(5)disseminating the results of the preparatory action.

Remarks

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

Sports initiatives to integrate refugees and promote social inclusion have proven to be successful in the European context as well as in conflict zones and neighbouring areas. However, existing programmes, even if open to social inclusion, do not provide sufficient support for sports organisations, in particular in terms of capacity building and the possibility of working with non-EU partners, in order to help effectively integrate refugees through sport. These practices can be adapted and scaled to effectively engage refugee, host and conflict communities and multiply the impact of efforts to mitigate the refugee crisis in the Member States.

Remarks

Grassroots sports is a traditional and slowly evolving area. Society in general and individuals’ needs and preferences regarding sports, however, change more rapidly. Indeed, participation figures highlight a growing mismatch between the provision of opportunities for sports via traditional sports organisations and the demand for sports from individuals. The way in which sports associations and clubs are organised and their lack of innovation prevents them from bridging this gap. This project will challenge parties outside the traditional sports structure to propose innovative solutions to bring sports supply into line with individuals’ demand at all levels, and provide a sports innovation ecosystem to make it possible for new ways of playing sports to be offered to the general public faster.

In order to produce a working innovative ecosystem for grassroots sports organisations, two things are needed: new, soft programmes offering sports in new ways, and a flexible sports infrastructure able to host different sports at a single location.

This preparatory action will identify and test multiple promising innovations in both categories. To achieve this, innovation challenges will be organised that select and reward promising innovations by any interested party (institution, company, start-up, individual(s) or other parties), which can be introduced and tested over a substantial period (minimum six months). The funding will be invested in soft programmes and new (small) sports infrastructure.

The final aim of the preparatory action is to include tested innovations in the ecosystem of existing sports clubs and infrastructure. Examples of soft programmes might be three-a-side football, cross-overs between different sports (e.g. fitness and football) or recurring local mini-tournaments. Examples of new small infrastructure innovations might be flexible pitch line marking systems or sensors to indicate what pitches are available and which is in current use. Successfully tested examples will be shared with European stakeholders via an online platform, with the cooperation of European governing bodies such as UEFA.

The action will:

—unlock innovative solutions for non-traditional sports by organising open innovation challenges;

—increase the number of people practising sports by offering new concepts;

—increase the use of existing sports infrastructure.

The expected outcomes include:

—a number of tested innovative soft programmes that can be integrated into grassroots sports clubs;

—a number of tested innovative small infrastructure elements that can be incorporated into existing sports infrastructure;

—new methods to increase sports participation through innovation, which will have beneficial effects on public health and social integration;

—learning how to include non-traditional stakeholders in bringing innovation to the sports landscape, to be shared through European association structures.

Since the expected outcomes of this action include changes to the existing sports infrastructure, it is not eligible under the Erasmus+ programme.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) staff and administrative expenditure, and operational expenditure relating to the work programme, including the knowledge and innovation communities (KICs) designated by the EIT.

In the framework of the EIT’s Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA) and Regulation (EU) No 1292/2013, the EIT contributes to the general objective and priorities of ‘Horizon 2020 — The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation’, with the specific objective of integrating the knowledge triangle of higher education, research and innovation. The EIT aims to give Europe’s innovation capacity a much needed boost and its overall goal is to create a new European way of delivering essential economic growth and societal benefits through innovation by helping transform innovative ideas into products and services that create sustainable growth and jobs.

KICs are the operational base of the EIT. They are excellence-driven partnerships, which bring together the whole innovation web in order to offer new opportunities for innovation in Europe and generate real impact in terms of new business creation and societal benefits. They address focused innovation topics and integrate public and private research organisations, innovative industries, higher education institutions, investors, start-ups and spin-offs. The first three KICs were designated in December 2009 and address the following societal challenges: climate change mitigation and adaptation (through Climate-KIC), sustainable energy (through KIC InnoEnergy) and future information and communication society (through EITDigital). Two additional KICs were designated in 2014 in the themes of Raw Materials and Innovation for Healthy Living and Active Ageing. The EIT expanded its portfolio of KICs to up to three additional ones addressing the topics: Food for the Future (in 2016), Added Value Manufacturing and Urban Mobility(the last two selected by the end of 2018 have 1 year to complete their set-up and should become fully operational in 2020).

The EIT aims to generate tangible impact in the following areas:

—addressing key societal challenges: the KICs combine expertise from across disciplines to ensure innovative and global responses to complex societal challenges,

—setting a clear business-friendly framework: turning new ideas into tangible new products, services or business opportunities will be the main benchmark of the EIT’s and the KICs’ success,

—enhancing the free flow of knowledge through co-location: the KICs are organised around co-location centres — geographical locations where most or the whole innovation chain is in close proximity. The emphasis is on people from diverse backgrounds (industry, SMEs, academia, nationality, gender, discipline, etc.) working together with face-to-face contact, thus leading to great mobility of knowledge,

—creating a new generation of entrepreneurs: people with an entrepreneurial mindset are the drivers of innovation, thereby keeping our economies and societies moving. The EIT promotes entrepreneurship education as a key feature of KICs’ Masters and doctoral programmes by shifting the emphasis from ‘learning about’ to ‘learning by doing’. The Master and PhD programmes will provide students with the entrepreneurial skills they need to succeed in the knowledge economy, focusing on learning outcomes and the use of innovative teaching methods.

The EIT’s strategic objectives for this period are to consolidate and synergise its operations and to prepare for achieving the priorities set out in the Strategic Innovation Agenda (2014-2020): firstly, by incentivising growth, impact and sustainability by continuing to strengthen its partnership with the existing KICs whilst creating new KICs, leading up to a total portfolio of eight KICs in the period 2014-2020 (equalling the set-up of 40-50 co-location centres across the Union); secondly, by enhancing the EIT’s impact by fostering entrepreneurship-driven innovation across the Union through wide dissemination of novel innovation models attracting and developing talent from across Europe; and thirdly, by introducing new means of achieving impact, alongside results-oriented monitoring.

The establishment plan of the EIT is set out in Annex ‘Staff’ to this section.

The Union contribution for 2020 amounts to a total of EUR 496 793 764. An amount of EUR 115 416 coming from the recovery of surplus is added to the amount of EUR 496 678 348 entered in the budget.

The corresponding amount intended to cover expenditure corresponding to revenue giving rise to the provision of additional appropriations from (non-European Economic Area) third parties or third countries participating in projects in the field of research and technological development is estimated at EUR 30 000 000 for 2020.

This appropriation is intended to cover the following measures relating to Cross-sectoral Strand of the Creative Europe Programme.

The cultural and creative sector facility targets the cultural and creative sectors and has the following priorities: facilitate access to finance for small- and medium-sized enterprises and organisations in the European cultural and creative sectors; improve the capacity of financial institutions to assess cultural and creative projects, including technical assistance and networking measures.

This is achieved through:

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the following measures relating to the Culture Sub-programme of the Creative Europe Programme:

—supporting actions providing operators with skills and know-how encouraging the adaption to digital technologies, including testing new approaches to audience building and business models,

—supporting actions enabling operators to internationalise their careers in Europe and beyond,

—providing support to strengthen European operators and international cultural networks in order to facilitate access to professional opportunities.

The priorities in the field of promoting transnational circulation shall be the following:

—supporting international touring, events and exhibitions,

—supporting the circulation of European literature,

—supporting audience building as a means of stimulating interest in European cultural works.

Support measures of the Culture Sub-programme

The Culture Sub-programme provides support for the following measures:

—transnational cooperation measures bringing together operators from different countries to undertake sectoral or cross-sectoral activities,

—activities by European networks of operators from different countries,

—activities by organisations providing a promotional European platform for the development of emerging talent and stimulating the circulation of artists and works, with a systemic and large scale effect,

—support for literary translation,

—special actions aiming to achieve greater visibility for the richness and diversity of European cultures, and stimulate intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, including European cultural prizes, the European Heritage Label, and the European Capitals of Culture,

—support scheme to the mobility of artists and professionals of the cultural and creative sectors,

—supporting, where possible, the setting up of an European Museum Pass by contributing to the start-up costs of such a pass. This could include a feasibility study, the setting up of the necessary infrastructure and the promotion of the pass. Museums across Europe should as far as possible be consulted throughout the process and can opt-in on a voluntary basis. The system should subsequently become self-sustainable with a sharing of profits based on a key taking into account the number of visits and entry price.

This appropriation is also intended to cover payments in respect of commitments remaining to be settled from the 2018 European Year for Cultural Heritage. In line with the Joint Statement by the European Parliament and the Council attached to Decision (EU) 2017/864 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 on a European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 (OJ L 131, 20.5.2017, p. 1), EUR 7 000 000 of the appropriation against this article was specifically earmarked for this purpose.

This appropriation also covers the remaining payments of the projects selected under the special call for proposals for refugee integration in 2016.

Remarks

As specified in the Service Level Agreement between the European Parliament and the Commission, this appropriation is intended to cover the financial contribution of the Commission to the House of European History for the operational costs incurred by the European Parliament in respect of exhibitions, events and workshops organised which will increase knowledge, awaken curiosity and create opportunities to reflect on European history by means of a modern exhibition and documentation centre.

For the House of European History communication is a priority in order to make the institution known to citizens. Furthermore, the House’s cultural diplomacy role should be enhanced vis-à-vis interested citizens from outside the Union. Additionally, the Union should be based on historical, cultural and linguistic exchanges between its diverse communities. This appropriation will enable this new institution to incorporate that diversity and promote Union heritage.

Remarks

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

The concept of European Houses of Culture is referred to in Joint Communication to the European Parliament and the Council of 8 June 2016 entitled ‘Towards an EU strategy for international cultural relations’ (JOIN(2016) 29 final) as one of the tools for enhanced Union cooperation in the area of cultural external relations. They are described as institutions that ‘would enable cultural institutes and other stakeholders to come together and provide services to the local population, engage in joint projects and offer scholarships, cultural and educational exchanges’. This also ties in with a recommendation made in the study ‘European Cultural Institutes abroad’ produced for the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education in 2016.

This preparatory action tests initial experience with European Houses of Culture in a limited number of priority countries/regions and examines their potential in a number of partner countries in different formats, including permanent structures, pop-up formats, festival pavilions or purely digital tools. It can be developed over two years in order to have the time needed to launch the various projects, deliver them and check outcomes with a view to further recommendations.

Remarks

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

Europe is home to some of the leading music songwriters, performers, concert venues, festivals, record labels, publishers, distributors, start-ups and digital services in the world. In recent years, the creation, production, distribution and consumption of music have fundamentally changed: new distribution channels, powerful digital players, innovative start-ups, business models and consumption patterns have emerged. Digitalisation, for example in the case of music streaming, has brought opportunities, but also many challenges for the sector.

This preparatory action addresses some of the sector’s main challenges, taking into account the outcome of the recent Union-level dialogue with music stakeholders and focusing on the following fields:

(a)offline and online distribution (e.g. increasing citizens’ access to music in all its diversity);

(b)artist and repertoire development (including boosting mobility of artists and cross-border circulation of European repertoire);

(c)professionalisation and education (e.g. skills development and capacity building for creators and SMEs to succeed in a highly competitive and global market);

(d)exporting European music outside Europe.

The preparatory action should be implemented mainly by means of calls for proposals and calls for tenders, also building on and complementing the activities developed to implement the preparatory action in the first year (2018). It is designed to ensure that a large variety of relevant music operators, organisations and stakeholders across the value chain in Europe can benefit from the activities.

The preparatory action builds on and develops further the existing, albeit very limited, support for music under the Creative Europe Programme (notably cooperation projects, platforms and prizes), which is necessary, but fails to fully meet the needs of the sector. It tests suitable action with a view to a possible future fully fledged funding scheme for music within the next generation of Union programmes, which could support European diversity and talent as well as the competitiveness of the sector in a more targeted way.

In this regard, the preparatory action includes in particular measures for surveying and mapping the funding needs of relevant branches of the music ecosystem in the Member States in order to serve as an additional element when defining relevant future fields of action with clear Union added value (post-2020).

Provenance research is of significant importance in the context of protecting cultural heritage and the fight against illegal trafficking of artworks and other cultural objects looted in armed conflicts and wars. It is the process of documenting the chronology of the ownership, location and chain of custody of an object from its creation to the present day. In order to facilitate, thorough provenance research, the exchange of expertise, knowledge and research results, data must be enhanced.

Digitisation resources are important tools to achieve those goals. As such, databases that collect and provide an overview of existing data are able to support and facilitate research, including cross-border research. However, there is as yet no comprehensive database combining the results of existing projects and making them accessible at object level.

The Commission for Art Recovery (CAR) and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) are working to form a consortium of archives (with partners including the German Federal Archive, the French National Archives and the Belgian State Archives), art history organisations and other relevant institutions. The goal of the Jewish Digital Cultural Recovery Project (JDCRP) is to begin to construct a comprehensive object-level database of Jewish-owned cultural assets plundered by the Nazis and their allies and collaborators, beginning with France, Belgium and the Netherlands. This network of governmental and heritage institutions will cooperate closely on developing the project, disseminating best practices and promoting further research.

JDCRP will include a web portal consisting of a database that permits – through the use of various archival sources – the comprehensive and precise documentation of cultural objects plundered during the Nazi era from the time of their expropriation to the present. The project’s eventual goal is to aggregate, cross-reference and relate information regarding the fate of looted art. It will do so not only by including historical and art historical information retrieved from relevant documentation, but also by connecting and integrating existing databases of the participating institutions. The information accumulated and presented by JDCRP will be supported by digital surrogates for the documentation, thus creating an immense, cross-border virtual archive. The database will be embedded in visual, narrative and educational components helping to disseminate the content to academic and lay audiences.

As Nazi looting of Jewish artworks is one of the most extensive and well-documented cultural robberies in European history, JDCRP is perfectly positioned to create best practices regarding the creation of large-scale, comprehensive, pan-European, object-level databases on plundered pieces of European cultural heritage in general. A pilot project digitising specific archival collections, creating the basic structures of the database as well as accumulating, presenting and connecting relevant historical information would greatly contribute to the success of JDCRP as the project’s methodology and workflow could be tested on a smaller scale.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to launch the preparatory action.

Cultural diversity and identification of the proper cultural mix are of strategic importance for creativity and innovation. The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in Europe employ more than 12 million people, or 7.5% of the European workforce, and create about EUR 509 000 000 000 in added value as a result, in particular, of the contribution made by small and micro enterprises. CCIs are a driving force generating a competitive advantage for Europe, especially since they provide products and services that promote evolution of the production paradigms of Industry 4.0.

This preparatory action will define and test the policies and actions necessary to sustain and develop these enterprises, which, with appropriate support, can generate cross-benefits and spill-overs in all the areas and sectors with which these companies interface in achieving their business objectives.

The thrust of the preparatory action involves four areas:

1.A new model for analysing skills

The model for recognising skills normally used in European training systems needs to be reviewed and updated to properly include the organisational model of those enterprises, which often have little hierarchy, a broader tolerance for risk, a different time-management approach and strong disciplinary interchange, and which are therefore not compatible with the traditional manufacturing paradigm. This new model for analysing and identifying skills compatible with the Science, Technology, Engineering/Environment, Arts, Manufacturing (STEAM) areas seeks to create a privileged relationship among virtuous companies, the most significant best practices, and success stories, in order to identify and define both the skills and the characteristics of the professionals who work in these areas. In other words, the genesis and evolution of those skills must be traced back, moving beyond the more widespread paradigm in which professionals are codified within analytical-descriptive work processes (typical of manufacturing organisations), in order to obtain job descriptions consistent with the distinctive organisational characteristics of those companies.

More specifically, the preparatory action will be divided into the following phases:

— selecting ‘best practice’ CCIs to be involved in the investigation to formulate a skill classification model that recognises the special nature of the various sectors (historical and artistic heritage, content industry, ICT industries, and materials culture, including the macro-sectors of fashion, design and the taste industry) and the regional dimensions of the Union,

— developing a model for recognising skills,

— testing the model with a broader panel of enterprises,

— releasing the model for codifying skills and associating them with professionals in the light of the European framework on skills.

2.Indications for the education system

Nowadays, the development of creative and cultural skills is the result of a process that is neither fully structured, nor entirely aligned with the needs for medium/long-term management of CCIs. The output generated by the skill recognition model would pave the way for the identification of aspects and issues in the education system with respect to the characteristics of training programmes aimed at developing skills. In fact, the development of strategic skills for CCIs is often left to chance and individual initiative and inventiveness, or to informal processes, without a structural approach derived from a vision that fosters a precise training policy and targeted programmes.

The key goal of this phase of the action is to perpetuate these skills through the training system, so as to prepare more European citizens for operating effectively in the various business areas in which CCIs are involved.

The guidelines should be structured in such a way that observing the specific nature of the national and regional education systems will guide their training programmes, from primary training to tertiary education. Efforts should be made to improve the capability of the education system to communicate with CCIs and promote innovative training models (learning laboratories, creative hubs, etc.). This should accompany the formulation of guidelines to empower teachers to promote skill-based learning, going beyond a rigid system of disciplines and favouring a holistic and multi-disciplinary approach. Centuries of craftsmen’s traditions across Europe show the value of spending time gaining experience from different workshops as an important part of the cultural and practical training of an aspirant master in creative artisanship. While the German ‘Wandergeselle’ or the French ‘compagnon’ of the past were self-organised forms of learning, they highlight the need for a structured and common European approach to identify and transfer the elusive skills of CCIs.

3.A new financial classification for CCIs

Access to finance is a major obstacle to growth for many CCIs, which are generally small and often undercapitalised. The banking and financial system is slow to classify those enterprises within traditional systems, as most of them are founded on one prototype or single project and are heavily dependent on their products and services, on individual talent, and on assumption of risks. Unlike companies operating in the technological sectors, CCIs find it hard to obtain recognition of the value of their intangible assets on their balance sheets, and their investments in the development of new talent and creative ideas do not correspond to the usual concept of R&D.

The action will define guidelines to improve CCIs’ capability to better communicate financial values associated with intangible assets so as to give them fair access to lending. This would make it easier for CCIs to access guarantee systems (e.g. Creative Europe Programme and the European Fund for Strategic Investments) and other financing mechanisms. The guidelines will be defined on the basis of a comparison of existing instruments in European countries (e.g. Bancopass in Italy) that those enterprises are already using to communicate proactively with banks.

4.Valuing and defending intellectual property produced by CCIs

Companies that protect their intellectual activities are 22 % more productive (for the same territory, sector and size), with revenue growth 2 % higher than the sample average. Specifically, companies that filed a patent in 2011-2013 have a 6,5 % higher percentage of exports to total revenue, for the same territory, size and sector.

Because of the often under-structured organisation of CCIs, the registration or patenting of innovations they are able to produce is not always a priority, thus diminishing the value of the results produced by that innovation. It is therefore essential to study how to make those industries — especially the small and medium-sized ones — more aware of the benefits in terms of stronger impact deriving from the registration or patenting of their innovative products and services, and foster access to those opportunities, as these enterprises are often undercapitalised. Through a close tie-in with outputs emerging from a comparison of best practices and instruments described in point 3, the preparatory action will take forward existing instruments in European countries, which enterprises use to communicate with banks, financial bodies and institutions, involving specific items that can enhance the values of innovation registration or patenting.

Framework development of the action

The initiative will be developed through the creation of European partnerships that enhance qualified organisations’ expertise in the various phases and activities that make up the action. The organisations that carry out the action should represent the main reference regions for CCIs and be equipped with the necessary resources to maximise the action’s impact.

Remarks

The existing pilot project has made it possible to map Jewish cemeteries across Europe – itself an urgent task due to the increasing threat of erosion, neglect and vandalism. The resulting database is unique in its accuracy, thoroughness and scope, but it is only partially finished. The preparatory action would make most sense if the survey were completed in every Member State as well as in Neighbourhood Policy states. Maintenance of the database would be crucial for it to function appropriately and continue to serve as a reference point.

Jewish cemeteries in Europe are a ubiquitous form of cultural heritage; they testify to the multicultural history of the continent and often serve as the sole such heritage in remote, rural areas. Protecting that heritage inevitably brings together state actors, NGOs, local communities, Jewish communities and descendants, offering a unique opportunity to develop strong, cross-sectoral collaborative ties, strengthening and enriching local identity.

Developing and implementing a bottom-up, decentralised form of protection therefore serves as an entry point for many such localities into the broader infrastructure of conservation, heritage management and heritage-oriented education. This being so, protecting Jewish cemeteries is a key element for capacity building in the cultural sector, a more active and tolerant civil society, and a multi-scalar European heritage infrastructure.

It is therefore of utmost importance to take the pilot project forward as a preparatory action for another two year-period.

Remarks

In 2018, the Union adopted the New European Agenda for Culture, further developing the scope of the ‘European Agenda for Culture in a Globalised World’ (2007). The New Agenda reaffirms that the cultural and creative sectors strengthen European identity, have the power to improve lives, transform communities, generate jobs and growth, and create spillover effects in other sectors. More precisely, one of the three strategic objectives of the New Agenda is to harness the power of culture and cultural diversity for social cohesion and well-being by promoting cultural participation, mobility of artists and protection of heritage.

The document calls for research into cultural crossovers to assess impacts in different fields, including health and well-being.

Access to culture and participation in cultural life promote individual empowerment, democratic consciousness and social cohesion through exchanges with other people and civic engagement. Changing user behaviour because of digitalisation, ageing and culturally diverse societies calls for a better understanding of different audiences. A stronger orientation towards the interests and needs of specific groups, such as young people, older people, people with disabilities, people with a migrant background and people living in poverty or material deprivation, is necessary. Digital technologies are an asset for audience development and innovative methods of participation. Cross-sectoral cooperation with other areas, such as education, social care, healthcare, science and technology, and regional and urban development, has a significant effect on cohesion and well-being. Special attention should be paid to the role of culture at local level, to the quality of architecture and the living environment and to culture-led social innovations contributing to the development of cities and regions across the Union.

Target outputs: The exchange of experience and success stories will help identify best practices. Synergies could be established with the Structural Funds, the Urban Agenda for the EU and its new Partnership on Culture and Cultural Heritage as well as with the UN Agenda 2030 and the OECD project on culture-led regional productivity and well-being.

The preparatory action will support

1.research into culture and well-being;

2.trans-sectoral and trans-European cooperation with the aim of generating knowledge, pilot projects and policy guidelines on how to enhance well-being through culture – the European Culture and Well-being Think Tank;

3.experimental work on the ground in pilot cities across Europe on methods, actions and measures to enhance the well-being of individuals and communities (quality of built environments, quality of spaces for social interaction, quality of services for specific groups such as school pupils, children, the elderly and special needs groups);

4.development of action and policy guidelines for cities, institutions and cultural actors on the effective use of culture for well-being;

5.sharing of knowledge, increasing awareness and capacity of key players to use culture for well-being – local workshops in various cities in Europe and a large scale Culture and Well-Being Forum.

These activities are implemented in the Member States through:

—communication actions linked to specific annual or multiannual communication priorities as per State of the Union Address of the Commission President, the Commission's Work Programme and the Joint Declaration (in the context of implementing the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on Better Law-Making (OJ L 123, 12.5.2016, p. 1)),

—management of information centres and multimedia installations for the general public in the European Commission Representations.

Communication actions can be organised in partnership with the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee, the European Committee of the Regions and the Member States in order to create synergies between the means of each partner and to coordinate their information and communication activities on the Union.

This appropriation could also serve to fund awareness-raising and information activities on European citizens’ initiatives in cooperation with the Commission Representations and Europe Direct information centres in the Member States.

This appropriation is further intended to cover expenditure on studies, logistical services, technical assistance, in particular for IT including web maintenance and social media services, meetings of experts and expert technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts as well as the repayment of travel and related expenses of persons invited to follow the work of the Commission.

The project is strongly linked to work in the field of health literacy, patient education, adherence and concordance, patient safety and quality of care, and accessible health systems for all. If patients are better protected against infectious diseases, it is easier to manage underlying conditions. In addition, having access to evidence-based information enables patients to have a meaningful dialogue with health professionals and make appropriate choices in the healthcare environment, including actions for prevention and health promotion.

Two strategic pillars

The project has two core strategic pillars to be delivered utilising the capacity-building potential of patient groups: (1) an advanced toolkit for national advocacy groups to use, building on existing work, and (2) three workshops rolled out in geographically and socio-economically diverse countries in 2019, targeting patients with chronic diseases.

(1)An advanced toolkit for national advocacy groups to use

The first pillar entails the development of a tailored, objective, evidence-based, state-of-the-art toolkit about vaccines and their vital importance for chronic disease patients.

The advanced toolkit should build on previous targeted material for the patient community on the basis of peer-reviewed, evidence-based, state-of-the-art publications in the field. The project draws on knowledge and expertise regarding ensuring that the toolkit is accessible, taking on board specific needs of certain populations and applying health literacy principles. The materials and resources shall be layered to suit different audiences and thoroughly tested by a relevant segment of a patient population. The advanced toolkit shall be produced in English and translated into the languages of the three Union languages where the workshops take place

A dissemination strategy using a ‘network of networks’ should be devised. In addition, various conferences and events throughout the year (e.g. World Diabetes Day, World Immunisation Week) will promote the toolkit.

(2)Three national workshops targeting patients with chronic diseases

The second pillar should focus on three national workshops, reaching out to chronic disease patients together with experts on each of the diseases targeted, and disseminating the toolkit through their ecosystem.

The workshops should be one-day events for about 40 patient leaders from throughout the countries selected (not only the capital) in various relevant disease areas. The workshops should be highly interactive and be facilitated by an expert in the country in the local language.

The format of the workshop should be designed to enable leaders to disseminate knowledge afterwards to their communities through effective use of the advanced toolkit at their events and via their social media networks.

The workshops should be evaluated with a view to scaling up to include further countries in the future, building on lessons learned.

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.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the Union’s contribution to measures for eliminating obstacles to the free movement of goods in these sectors, for veterinary support and as back-up action.

It consists in providing financial assistance:

—for the purchase, storage and formulation of foot-and-mouth antigens and of different vaccines,

—for the development of marker vaccines or tests that can distinguish between sick and vaccinated animals.

Remarks

Outbreaks of some animal diseases within the Union could significantly affect the operation of the internal market and the Union’s trading relations with third countries. It is therefore essential for the Union to make a financial contribution to enable serious infectious diseases — should any outbreak occur in Member States — to be eradicated as quickly as possible by deploying Union resources for disease control.

This appropriation is intended to cover curative actions to combat pests and diseases threatening agricultural and horticultural crops, forests, and landscape, including the spread of invasive alien species and diseases (for example the pine wood nematode), which are becoming more frequent and are spreading, causing a severe and prolonged impact, especially on Member States most exposed to risk, and with less economic capacity, and on the Union's outermost regions.

Pilot project — Welfare of dairy cattle, including measures to protect unweaned dairy calves and end-of-career animals

Remarks

The expansion of the dairy sector, the increase in the average productivity of dairy cows, and the surplus of male dairy calves have not been accompanied by updated animal welfare policies. A recent Commission’s report indicates that insufficient attention is being paid to parameters such as mastitis, lameness, cubicle design and lying comfort, which are known to influence not only welfare but also health and on-farm longevity of dairy cows. Member States have different regulatory regimes, thus disrupting the level-playing field for producers. Additionally, the increase in the size of dairy herds in some countries is causing a chronic surplus of male dairy calves, which have to be transported unweaned over very long distances to specialised fattening farms. The challenges encountered during the long-distance transport of unweaned dairy calves have not been resolved, and there is evidence from several non-governmental organisations that these vulnerable animals cannot be protected during such transport. Another overlooked aspect is the treatment of end-of-career animals. There is evidence that ‘downer’ cows (i.e. unfit for transport) may be transported to complacent abattoirs for slaughter. This is not only a violation of Union rules on animal transport and slaughter, but it also represents a threat to food safety.

This pilot project has four main aims: (1) to produce a clear set of good and best practice guidelines for the welfare of dairy heifers, cows and calves on the basis of robust animal-based indicators, as well as guidance on the correct treatment of end-of-career dairy cows; (2) to carry out a socio-economic impact assessment of shifting from transport of unweaned male dairy calves over long distances to local rearing and fattening; (3) to propose economic models to prevent the transport of end-of-career dairy cows; (4) to disseminate the outcomes in dairy-producing Member States and in those affected by the intra-Union trade of live unweaned calves. The project should bring together from the onset relevant stakeholders, including scientists, veterinarians and non-governmental organisations. The outcomes should strongly draw on the scientific and practical expertise available, including from best practices already implemented.

Pilot project — Best practices for transitioning to higher welfare cage-free egg production systems

Figures (Differentiated appropriations)

Appropriations 2020Appropriations 2019Outturn 2018
CommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPaymentsCommitmentsPayments
750 000187 500

Remarks

Public acceptance of the use of ‘enriched’ cages for laying hens is decreasing, in particular in the light of scientific evidence showing that such cages severely restrict the ability of laying hens to engage in many normal behaviours. The pilot project will help egg producers meet market demand by providing practical guidance on how to transition to alternative higher-welfare cage-free systems. Major food businesses have already committed to sourcing only cage-free eggs by 2025 or earlier. In order to equip Union producers for such a transition and guarantee that they stay in business, support should be provided to them to convert conventional systems to higher-welfare alternative systems that are not only fit for purpose but also fit for the future. The pilot project will look into the different systems for laying hens and identify those that are optimal for animal health and welfare. The recommendations, which should include economic aspects, will be supported by robust indicators to measure animal welfare outcomes. The first phase of the pilot project will collect information on best available practices for facilitating the transition towards higher-welfare rearing and keeping of laying hens in barn, free-range and organic systems. The second phase will consist of information events in at least four countries where alternative rearing systems are still not predominant (e.g. Spain, Poland, Portugal and Belgium) and a final event at Union level with major industry and political stakeholders as well as representatives from all Member States. The resulting guidance document should be as practice-oriented as possible, and should be illustrated, for example, with case studies (including economic data) on relevant systems from at least four Member States with the highest proportion of cage-free egg production (e.g. Germany, the Netherlands, France and Italy).

Remarks

In view of the alarming data contained in reports such as the European Drug Report 2019, there is an urgent need for stronger Union-wide coordinated action on monitoring the Darknet to counter rising threats from criminal activities such as trafficking and distribution of drugs and other illegal substances, illegal arms trading and human trafficking. Hard-to-track communication on the Darknet has become a key element of such illegal operations, especially cross border, and its effective monitoring remains a challenge for Member State law enforcement authorities. Not all Member State law enforcement authorities possess adequate means to systematically monitor the Darknet or effectively coordinate joint Union actions and cooperation in this area, but examples of good practices and results do exist, albeit fragmented and uneven across the Union.

The action will develop software and hardware for efficient Darknet monitoring at Union level, which will be made available to the Union and Member State law enforcement authorities, together with training and assistance in coordination and capacity building for joint European Darknet monitoring.

These appropriations will be used for the Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which covers the 2014 to 2020 period, and for the completion of the previous research programmes (Seventh Framework Programme).

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

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

In Horizon 2020, gender equality is addressed as a cross-cutting issue in order to rectify imbalances between women and men and to integrate a gender dimension in research and innovation content. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation at all levels, including decision making, of women in research and innovation.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of emergency support operations to respond to the urgent and exceptional needs in Member States as a result of a natural or man-made disaster, such as the sudden and massive influx of third-country nationals (refugees and migrants) into their territory.

Emergency support will provide a needs-based emergency response, complementing the response of the affected Member States, aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering and maintaining human dignity. Emergency response may encompass assistance, relief and, where need be, protection operations to save and preserve life in disasters or their immediate aftermath. This appropriation is also intended to cover the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of emergency support operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, particularly of facilities, storage, shipment, logistic support and distribution of relief and any other action aimed at facilitating freedom of access to the recipients of the aid.

This appropriation may be used to finance the purchase and delivery of food or any product or equipment needed for the implementation of the emergency support operations.

This appropriation may also cover any other costs directly linked to the implementation of emergency support operations and the cost of the measures that are essential for it 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.

Any income from financial contributions from public and private donors entered in Item 6 0 2 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to swiftly contribute to stability by providing an effective response to help preserve, establish or re-establish the conditions essential to the proper implementation of the Union’s external policies and actions in accordance with Article 21 of the TEU. The technical and financial assistance may be undertaken in response to a situation of urgency, crisis or emerging crisis, a situation posing a threat to democracy, law and order, the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, or the security and safety of individuals, including women, children and LGBTQI people in particular those exposed to sexual and gender-based violence in situations of instability, or a situation threatening to escalate into armed conflict, including conflict-related sexual violence used as a weapon of war or severely destabilise the third country or countries concerned. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security should be used as a central tool in this context.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid projects or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Other assigned revenue received under Articles 5 7 0 and 6 6 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Accountability is a key priority in Union interventions in crisis and emerging crisis. The instrument will continue to support national, regional and international initiatives in this regard when and where necessary.

In order to enhance interinstitutional CFSP coherence and provide up-to-date expert advice to all institutions as a means of developing a more coherent and effective CFSP, expert policy-relevant research will be provided, when appropriate, by the European Union Institute for Security Studies and others.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on information outreach on the Union’s external relations. The information activities to be carried out under this article fall into two broad categories: horizontal activities and logistical support from headquarters, and activities carried out by Union delegations in third countries and vis-à-vis international organisations.

Measures carried out from headquarters:

—the European Union visitors programme (EUVP), carried out jointly by the European Parliament and the Commission, provides approximately 150 participants a year, chosen by the Union delegations, with the opportunity of experiencing contact with the Union by visiting the European Parliament and the Commission as part of a made-to-measure individual programme of visits based on a theme,

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

—the production and dissemination of audiovisual material,

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

—the organisation of visits for groups of journalists,

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

—strategic communications including on disinformation, in particular in the Union neighbourhood and the Western Balkans; this includes systematic tracking and exposing of disinformation spread by foreign powers.

This includes the activities in the future Union delegation in the United Kingdom relating to information on citizens’ rights after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union.

The Commission will continue to fund news broadcasts in Farsi.

Decentralised measures carried out by Union delegations in third countries and vis-à-vis international organisations

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

—websites,

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

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

—organisation of events, including cultural activities,

—newsletters,

—information campaigns,

—strategic communications, in particular in the Union neighbourhood and the Western Balkans.

Assigned revenue received under Article 6 6 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Task resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 58(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

Remarks

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

This preparatory action tests how to counter disinformation more systematically, effectively and efficiently. An important objective is to build Union capacity on fact-checking disinformation by upgrading the skills base of staff through training and coaching by appointed strategic communication experts, who will then report on their monitoring activities to headquarters, including the East StratCom task force.

Therefore, the preparatory action finances: (a) training to raise awareness of disinformation campaigns among Union staff; (b) monitoring of disinformation campaigns both within and outside the Union; (c) data-based analysis of the challenge and ways forward throughout Europe; (d) better output for the product of that analysis, i.e. translation and dissemination in local languages. As disinformation campaigns target the Union and its partner countries alike, these activities can benefit staff, according to priorities to be set, in: (1) Commission Permanent Representations in Member States; (2) Union delegations in Eastern Partnership countries; and (3) Union delegations in Western Balkans countries.

The preparatory action is jointly implemented by the Commission (Service for Foreign Policy Instruments) and the European External Action Service.

This preparatory action allows the Union to raise awareness, to increase capacity to anticipate, analyse and respond, to be more efficient, to better reach out to Member States and to promote its policy objectives vis-à-vis its citizens as well as the Eastern Neighbourhood and the Western Balkans, including in their languages.

Building on its first two years of implementation, the preparatory action should continue to be adequately financed in 2020. As tackling fake news has become a priority for the Union, including through adoption of a communication on this issue, ensuring adequate funding to tackle the phenomenon at Union level is essential.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 58(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

Remarks

The primary objective of the Union’s development cooperation policy is the reduction of poverty, as laid down in the TFEU. The European Consensus on Development provides the general policy framework, guidance and the focus to direct implementation of Regulation (EU) No 233/2014.

These appropriations are intended to cover activities concerning the pursuit of poverty reduction, sustainable economic, social and environmental development and consolidating and supporting democracy, the rule of law, good governance, human rights and the relevant principles of international law, including those reflected in the Millennium Development Goals and in the emerging post-2015 international development framework. Synergies with other Union external instruments will be sought where appropriate, without any loss of focus on the above basic objectives.

In principle, 100 % of expenditure in the geographic programmes and at least 95 % of expenditure in the thematic programmes and 90 % of expenditure in the pan-African programme must conform to the OECD/DAC criteria for Official Development Assistance.

As a general rule, at least 20 % of appropriations should be used for basic social services and secondary education. Moreover, the Development Cooperation Instrument should contribute to the objective of addressing at least 20 % of the Union budget to a low carbon and climate-resilient society.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this article is primarily its contribution to support the promotion of democracy, good governance, equality, respect for human rights and for the rule of law, and fostering sustainable development and economic integration, as well as to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Commission must continue to report annually on the benchmark used in the past for the assistance to developing countries that is to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the Union contribution must be seen as part of overall donor support for the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its assistance under the Development Cooperation Instrument is dedicated to basic social services, with a focus on health and education, and to secondary education, this being an average across all geographical areas, and recognising that here too a degree of flexibility must be the norm, for example where exceptional assistance is involved. This appropriation is intended to cover cooperation schemes in developing countries, territories and regions in Latin America in order to:

—contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the region,

—support trade unions, non-governmental organisations and local initiatives to monitor the impact to the investments on the national economy, particularly respect for labour, environmental, social and human rights standards,

—support gender equality, through supporting actions to combat harmful traditional practices such as child marriage, and women empowerment,

—promote and invest in civil society organisations, in particular women's rights organisations, with the aim of supporting women's and girls’ rights to sexual and reproductive health,

—foster the development of civil society,

—combat poverty and social exclusion and promote social cohesion,

—contribute to improve social standards with focus on education, including education and vocational training for employment, and health, and to the improvement of social protection schemes,

—promote a more favourable climate for economic expansion and enhanced productive sector, encourage the transfer of know-how, promote contact and collaboration between business players bi-regionally,

—promote private sector development, including a SME-friendly business climate via i.e. legal property rights, reducing unnecessary administrative burden, improving access to credit and improving associations of small and medium-sized enterprises,

—support efforts towards food security and combat malnutrition,

—support regional integration; in Central America, foster the region’s development via enhanced benefits derived from the Agreement establishing an Association between the European Union and its Member States, on the one hand, and Central America on the other (OJ L 346, 15.12.2012, p. 3),

—promote the sustainable use of natural resources, including water, and the combating of climate change (mitigation and adaptation),

—support efforts for improving good governance and help consolidate democracy, human rights and the rule of law,

—promote policy reform particularly in the area of justice and security and support related actions to enhance development of countries and regions,

—contribute to projects focusing on support for refugees from Venezuela who have fled to neighbouring countries.

Where assistance is delivered through budget support, the Commission will support efforts of partner countries to develop parliamentary oversight and audit capacities and transparency.

Appropriations under this article are subject to evaluations that will include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact). The findings of the evaluations will be used in the formulation of subsequent measures financed with these appropriations.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter and may be complemented by contributions for Union trust funds.

Other assigned revenue received under Article 5 2 0, 5 2 1, 5 2 2, 5 7 0, 6 4 1 and 9 0 0 and Item 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover help to eradicate poverty and contribute to the creation of conditions for sustainable and inclusive economic and social development, social cohesion, democratisation and the improvement of people's lives. Appropriate consideration will be given to the areas described below, reflecting jointly-agreed strategies, partnerships, cooperation and trade agreements. Priorities will be established in accordance with the Commission's policy priorities, the Sustainable Development Goals, building on the European Consensus on Development, the Global Strategy for the European Union’s Foreign and Security Policy and the subsequent conclusions of the Council.

The bilateral programmes will focus on promoting sustainable growth, integrated rural development, income-generating opportunities and jobs creation in rural areas, and fostering food security; reforms in the area of rule of law, promoting democratisation and human rights, transparency and anti-corruption measures, and supporting public finance management; the establishment of an effective system of education focused on quality secondary and vocational education matching job market needs; support to the health sector through improved access to equitable and quality health services and support to economic investments.

Regional programmes aim at supporting a broad-based process of dialogue and collaboration between Central Asian countries, notably in areas sensitive for overall security and stability.

The programmes will be implemented with a steady focus on those most in need. Cross-cutting issues, such as environment and climate change, disaster risk reduction, local governance, anti-corruption, human rights, including freedom of religion and belief, gender equality, and youth will be mainstreamed in all Union programmes.

When and where governance reform efforts of a meaningful nature and genuine democratisation processes exist, providing support for them will be a priority. Similarly, allocations to border management and anti-drugs programmes will depend on the outlook for achieving significant results. Cooperation with civil society will be a major element of cooperation. Increasingly, collaboration with Member States’ agencies to implement these programmes will be considered as well as blending with resources from international financing institutions.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

Global public goods and challenges and poverty reduction, sustainable development and democracy

Remarks

This programme is intended to benefit primarily the poorest and least developed countries and the most disadvantaged sections of the population in countries covered by Regulation (EU) No 233/2014.

This appropriation is intended to cover poverty reduction and fostering sustainable development as a component under the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme. The objective of the programme is to support inclusive sustainable development by addressing the main global public goods and challenges in a flexible and cross-cutting manner. The main areas of action include environment and climate change, sustainable energy, human development (including health, education, gender, equality, identity, employment, skills, social protection, social inclusion, and economic-development-related aspects such as growth, jobs, trade and private-sector engagement), food and nutrition security, sustainable agriculture, and migration and asylum. This thematic programme will also enable a swift response to be made to unforeseen events and global crises affecting the poorest populations. By promoting synergies across the various sectors, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme will reduce fragmentation of Union development cooperation and increase coherence and complementarity with other Union programmes and instruments. At least 50 % of the funds, prior to the use of the markers based on OECD methodology (Rio markers), should serve for climate action and environment-related objectives.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to provide financial support to actions under the ‘food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture’ action area, of the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme.

In the area of food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture, the overall objective is to improve food security for the poorest and more vulnerable, to help eradicate poverty and hunger for current and future generations and to better address under-nutrition, thereby reducing child mortality. This objective will be pursued in line with the Union policy which focuses on enhancing the incomes of smallholder farmers, the resilience of vulnerable communities and on helping partner countries ensure availability and access to nutritious foods during pregnancy and early childhood, and access to basic nutrition services and a safe and healthy environment so as to reduce the number of stunted children by 7 million by 2025. As food security is a global challenge, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme will focus on activities and approaches to address global public goods and challenges that provide strong multiplier to the agricultural, livestock and fisheries sector, the food and nutrition security situation of households, the quality of diets of children and women, the rural economy and food systems, and the resilience of the most vulnerable households to shocks and stresses. This will complement and add value to the support provided through geographical programmes.

The following three components are included in the theme:

—Component 1: Generating and exchanging knowledge and fostering innovation that will generate and apply new knowledge to the challenges of food and nutrition security mainly at international and continental levels. This component will work with existing global and regional initiatives, but also envisages new partnerships that are needed to ensure that knowledge generated by research is used by beneficiaries to improve their income and livelihoods, and quality of diets,

—Component 2: Strengthening and promoting governance and capacity at the global, continental, regional and national levels, for all relevant stakeholders. This component will support international initiatives addressing food and nutrition security, including land and sustainable fisheries, and improve the effectiveness of dialogue on food and nutrition security issues. It will also foster a coordinated international effort to generate reliable, accessible and timely information and analytical capacity to support evidence-based policymaking and to strengthen or set up sustainable regional and national information systems for food security (ISFS) institutions. This component may also support capacity development initiatives of stakeholders such as civil society organisations, farmers’ organisations and other inter-professional groups along the value chain,

—Component 3: Supporting the poor and nutrition-insecure to react to crises and strengthen resilience. This component will provide support to countries where there will not be bilateral programmes under geographical programming, to countries which suffer from the consequences from a major unforeseen crisis or shock, including natural and man-made disasters, epidemics and major food and nutrition crises in fragile and food crisis prone countries. This component will also support innovative approaches to identify and manage risks, strengthen prevention of undernutrition and to build resilience. Where relevant, interventions will be also designed in order to enhance synergies and complementarities between humanitarian and development interventions. Joint analysis of the situation performed by humanitarian and development stakeholders will be encouraged.

Other assigned revenue received under Articles 5 2 0, 5 2 1, 5 2 2, 5 7 0, 6 4 1 and 9 0 0 and Item 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this item, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover implementation of initiatives under the ‘migration and asylum’ action area of the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme with the aim of enhancing the governance and maximising the development impact of migration and mobility.

In particular, the ‘Global Public Goods and Challenges’ programme in the area of migration and asylum aims to enhance the governance of migration in and by developing countries, placing particular attention on maximising the positive impact and minimising the negative impact of migration and mobility on development in low- and middle-income countries of origin and destination. In this sense, the programme will support the implementation of the migration related Sustainable Development Goals, including in particular target 10.7 on facilitating orderly, safe regular and responsible migration and mobility. Initiatives launched will contribute to the implementation of Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 13 May 2015 entitled ‘A European Agenda on Migration’ (COM(2015) 240 final), including notably the priorities set out in Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council and the European Investment Bank of 7 June 2016 on establishing a new Partnership Framework with third countries under the European Agenda on Migration (COM(2016) 385 final). Protection and promotion of the human rights of migrants, including access to services such as health, and support for the Union commitments to ensure policy coherence for development on migration will be pursued as cross-cutting objectives. Activities funded under this budget line must be in line with the primary objective of the Union’s development policy, which is poverty reduction.

The programme will focus on initiatives at global level as well as multi-regional level (e.g. to support cooperation along south-south or south-north migratory routes). A limited number of national projects to support new cooperation activities with priority countries for the Union’s external migration policy may also be launched.

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

The Union, faced with mass migration, must commit to stopping such population movements at source in addition to strengthening control of its external borders.

This development is likely to be accentuated: demographers estimate that Africa could have 800 million more inhabitants within 30 years.

The European Fund for Sustainable Development, established by Regulation (EU) 2017/1601 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 September 2017 establishing the European Fund for Sustainable Development (EFSD), the EFSD Guarantee and the EFSD Guarantee Fund (OJ L 249, 27.9.2017, p. 1), is one of the financial instruments for a pro-active development aid policy. It remains essential to make support manpower available to provide services in priority areas, in particular schooling, health care and technical assistance.

Accordingly, the Union could encourage young Europeans to become volunteers for periods of 6 months to a year; they would be hosted by public-sector development aid bodies, NGOs and approved civic-service structures. The Union budget contribution would take the form of grants to cover travel and accommodation expenses. The EU Aid Volunteers scheme can serve as a model, the two differences being that assignments will focus on development and the target audience age range is 18 to 26.

To best cater for funding needs for this preparatory action, the focus should be on Heading 4, which is the heading most suited to the Development Cooperation Instrument reaching its objectives.

Remarks

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

In its Health Sector Development Programme (2017-2020), the Mauritanian Government proposed introducing universal health cover. The country’s only pilot is an innovative trial being conducted by the NGO Memisa Belgium in partnership with the Dar Naïm Health Association (APSDN), with scientific support from the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp. It focuses on the Dar Naïm district of Nouakchott. The current trial offers integrated health care and mutual health insurance complemented by inclusive social protection actions. This service package significantly improves the living conditions of the most disadvantaged and poorest sections of the population.

The pilot project, running for 36 months on the basis of direct grants, will scale up and adapt this Mauritanian model for rural areas with a view to rolling out universal health cover.

The project has three components:

The first component involves consolidating the various trials developed under the APSDN health programme, i.e.: 1. a quality care offer (integrated patient-centred care) at the level of front-line patient care; 2. developing community-based mutual health insurance for people in the informal sector in addition to action by the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM) targeting the formal sector; and 3. developing a non-contributory health and social protection scheme (‘equity fund’) for poorer sections of the population.

The second component involves a participatory and global analysis of the conditions determining the success of these trials and the pitfalls to be avoided during their implementation, followed by exhaustive sharing of this knowledge with the various actors in the Mauritanian health system.

The third component involves planning and preparing in close collaboration with all relevant actors (public and private, in the health and social sub-sectors) an extension of these trials to other regions of the country.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the assistance in addressing global and trans-regional threats and emerging threats, defined in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 230/2014 establishing an instrument contributing to stability and peace.

It is intended to cover actions aiming to help safeguard countries and populations against risks either of an intentional, accidental or natural origin. This may, inter alia, include:

—strengthening the capacity of the competent civilian authorities involved in the development and enforcement of effective control of the trafficking in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials or agents (including the equipment for their production, or delivery or effective border controls), including through the installation of modern logistical evaluation and control equipment. The actions relate to natural and industrial disasters as well as criminal activities,

—the development of the legal framework and institutional capacities for the establishment and enforcement of effective export controls on dual-use goods, including measures of regional cooperation,

—the development of effective civilian disaster preparedness, emergency planning, crisis response, and capabilities for clean-up measures in relation to possible major environmental incidents in this field,

—the promotion of civilian research activities as an alternative to defence-related research, and support for the retraining and alternative employment of scientists and engineers having formerly been employed in weapons-related areas,

—support for measures to enhance safety practice related to civilian facilities where sensitive chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials or agents are stored, or are handled in the context of civilian research programmes,

—support, within the framework of Union cooperation policies and their objectives, for the establishment of civil infrastructure and relevant civilian studies necessary for the dismantlement, remediation or conversion of weapons-related facilities and sites where these are declared as no longer belonging to a defence programme.

Other measures in the field of global and trans-regional threats will cover:

—strengthening the capacity of law enforcement and judicial and civil authorities involved in the fight against terrorism,

—countering radicalisation, violent extremism and organised crime, including illicit trafficking in human beings, drugs, firearms and explosive materials, cybercrime, falsified medicine and in the effective control of illegal trade and transit; exchanging expertise and best practices on countering radicalisation and violent extremism with partner countries in regions where extremism is on the rise, such as South Asia; also addressing global and trans-regional effects of climate change with a potentially destabilising impact, and including the promotion of biosafety and biosecurity of facilities handling dangerous microbes,

—support for measures to address threats to international transport, and critical infrastructure, including passenger and freight traffic, energy operations and energy distribution, electronic information and communication networks,

—ensuring an adequate response to major threats to public health, such as pandemics with a potential transnational impact.

Such measures may be adopted under this instrument in the context of stable conditions, where they aim to address specific global and trans-regional threats having a destabilising effect, and only to the extent that an adequate and effective response cannot be provided under related Union instruments for external assistance.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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 consistency, complementarity and aid and development effectiveness.

Coordination measures are essential in defining and shaping the Union development policy at a strategic and programming level. The specific nature of the Union development policy is directly enshrined in the Treaties (Articles 208 and 210 TFEU). Union aid and the national policies of the Member States in the sphere of development cooperation need to complement and reinforce each other, and this cannot work without coordination. Article 210 TFEU calls on the Commission to act as coordinator of the Member States’ and the Union’s development policies and of action in development cooperation.

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 Union and the international community intersect. This appropriation covers various forms of action:

—effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, impact and viability studies in the area of coordination,

—support, analyses and coordination activities in the priority areas of development policy (including budget support, public finance management and domestic revenue mobilisation), aid and development effectiveness (including joint programming/joint implementation and transparency) and financing for development,

—meetings of experts and exchanges between the Commission, Member States and other international actors (United States of America, emerging donors, etc.) and preparation of and participation to international fora such as the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation or those under the policy stream financing for development, means of implementation, Agenda 2030 and new Consensus,

—technical assistance and methodological support (including monitoring, analysis and dissemination of good practices, and IT expertise); internal communication and e-training,

—research, communication and consultation, as well as evaluation services, including for technical assistance,

—monitoring of policies and operations in the course of implementation,

—support measures to improve the quality of the monitoring of ongoing operations, including expenditure necessary for the implementation of the European Fund for Sustainable Development (EFSD), and the preparation of future operations, including capacity-building and training,

—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 Commission’s membership fees and contributions to the international organisations and networks,

—the dissemination of information through the production of publications and the development of information systems,

—implementation of TAIEX activities: provision of services and public sector expertise in the framework of TAIEX.

Action B — Raising awareness

This appropriation covers the financing of activities designed to draw attention to action by the Union and Member States in the field of the international cooperation and development and the enlargement and neighbourhood policies, and to raise public awareness of related issues. Every activity financed pursuant to this action must include the following two components, which are complementary:

—an ‘information’ component, designed to promote the various activities which the Union undertakes in the field of international cooperation and development and the enlargement and neighbourhood policies, and the activities which it conducts in partnership with its Member States and other international institutions,

—an ‘awareness-raising’ component, covering public opinion in the Union and in partner countries.

These activities consist mainly, though not exclusively, of financial support for audio-visual and online publications, communication via social media, seminars, trainings and events, the production of information material, the development of information systems, networks of Member States and prizes for journalism in the field of development and the enlargement and neighbourhood policies.

These activities are directed at the general public and are implemented through public and private sector partners and stakeholders and through a network of Member States, the Commission Representations in the Member States and Union delegations in partner countries.

This appropriation is moreover intended to cover the funding of priority information and communication activities directed towards the citizens of the Union and dealing with the Union’s external policies as a whole.

The areas which will be covered by information activities include those below, but may include other aspects of the Union’s external relations, particularly in relation to the future of the Union’s external policies:

—addressing the public perception of external assistance, building on the results and the evaluation of the activities deployed by the Union institutions and Member States in the context of European Year for Development 2015, the Joint Declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the Legacy of the European Year for Development 2015, and on the adoption of the Agenda 2030 by the United Nations in September 2015. The objective is to make clear that external assistance is an integral part of what the Union does for the benefit both of the population of partner countries and of European taxpayers and to raise awareness of the fact that the Union is delivering tangible results on behalf of Union citizens to fight poverty and support sustainable growth worldwide,

—organising key events highlighting the Union’s leading role in international development, most notably the annual edition of the European Development Days (EDD). This major event has become one of the main events in the Commission agenda in terms of external relations. It brings together development advocates, decision-makers and practitioners. Each year, EDD serves as a platform for policy brainstorming and forward-looking recommendations ahead of key international summits. It highlights the importance of the Union’s role not only as the world’s largest development assistance provider, but also as a leader in the international development policy debates,

—the organisation of visits for groups of journalists and other target groups.

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 Union information and communication policy. It coordinates the central and decentralised public information activities on European topics. Each year the IGI gives its opinion on the priorities for the following years on the basis of information provided by the Commission.

This appropriation is also intended to cover:

—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 Commission and beneficiaries,

—the contracting of supplementary legal counsel services for the provision of specialised advice on the individual agreements to be signed for investment programmes, under the EFSD,

—communication and outreach activities linked to the implementation of the External Investment Plan (EIP), including activities establishing structured dialogue with the private sector and trainings on the EIP

—the contracting of independent consultants to audit the mapping of the individual rating scales of the financial institutions, as well as new private partners in preparation of the new MFF implementation, in order to integrate them into a common scale, in line with the risk assessment methodology to be used by the Guarantee Technical Assessment Group in the implementation of the EFSD Guarantee,

—the contracting of independent consultants to support the Commission in monitoring the functioning of the EFSD and assessing its results and impact, in line with the obligation under the Regulation (EU) 2017/1601 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 September 2017 establishing the European Fund for Sustainable Development (EFSD), the EFSD Guarantee and the EFSD Guarantee Fund (OJ L 249, 27.9.2017, p. 1),

—expenditure on printing, translation, studies, meetings of experts, information and the purchase of information material directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme.

It also covers the costs of publication, production, storage, distribution and dissemination of information material, in particular via the Publications Office of the European Union, and other administrative costs related to coordination.

Assigned revenue received under Articles 5 2 0, 5 2 1, 5 2 2, 5 7 0, 6 3 3 and 9 0 0 and Items 6 3 5 2, 6 3 5 3 and 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Under the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II), this appropriation will address the specific objective of regional integration and territorial cooperation involving the beneficiaries listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 231/2014, Member States and, where appropriate, third countries within the scope of Regulation (EU) No 232/2014.

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of pre-accession regional and multi-beneficiary programmes for the beneficiaries.

This appropriation is also intended to cover technical assistance for the beneficiaries in the field of approximation of legislation for the entire acquis of the Union, helping all bodies involved in the implementation and enforcement of the acquis, including non-governmental organisations, to achieve their objectives and to monitor their rate of achievement.

Part of this allocation should be used for cultural projects aiming at reconciliation between the countries and the peoples of Western Balkans, based on the values upon which the Union is founded.

In accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 236/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2014 laying down common rules and procedures for the implementation of the Union’s instruments for financing external action (OJ L 77, 15.3.2014, p. 95), this appropriation also covers expenditure directly necessary for the implementation of IPA II related to the preparation, follow-up, monitoring, audit and evaluation activities as well as to the provision of information and communication actions, including the development of communication strategies and corporate communication of the political priorities of the Union.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Other assigned revenue received under Items 5 2 2 0, 6 6 0 0, 6 4 1 0 and 6 4 1 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this item, in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action supports the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) Western Balkans Programme for 2018 and 2019 in assisting governments in the search for and identification of missing persons from the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia through enhanced regional cooperation.

Despite the progress achieved so far and the significant efforts and active commitment of the Union, resolving the fate of the missing from the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia remains a burning issue. Cooperation at regional level between the countries concerned has not been sufficiently explored.

This preparatory action helps authorities address the large number of NN (unidentified bodies) cases in countries in the region and the interrelated issue of misidentification, which occurred prior to the ICMP’s introduction of DNA identification in 2001.

Following the signing of cooperation agreements between the ICMP and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Montenegro respectively in 2016, and the conclusion of an agreement with Serbia in 2017, the preparatory action establishes a database of active missing person cases from the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and facilitates regular meetings with regional authorities to discuss them. This enables the transparent management of data on missing persons and a cooperative approach at regional level in order to reduce the number of unresolved missing person cases. Collection of additional genetic references from families of missing persons in the region, supported by outreach and campaigning efforts, helps the authorities to identify NN cases and take corrective action where misidentifications are demonstrated to have occurred. The action also strengthens regional cooperation among associations of families of the missing so they can be involved in the process and jointly ensure government accountability on this matter.

The main activities to be undertaken under this regional preparatory action are:

(1)establishing a database of active missing person cases from conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, and facilitating regular meetings with regional authorities to discuss cases;

(2)providing and managing a small grant to the body responsible for regional coordination of associations of families of missing persons from the former Yugoslavia for the purposes of lobbying to encourage regional governments and authorities to search for and identify the missing;

(3)providing assistance to national authorities in affected countries in the Western Balkans to excavate and examine mortal remains from clandestine graves;

(4)providing continued access to the ICMP’s DNA laboratory standing capacity (sampling and extraction of DNA profiles from excavated cases, and DNA matching of genetic reference profiles and post mortem profiles);

(5)engaging the national authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia that are responsible for searching for missing persons (government commissions on missing persons) in a regional policy dialogue that will develop sustainable and effective initiatives for resolving the related issues of NN cases and misidentifications resulting from the use of traditional visual recognition methods.

The added value of this preparatory action is in ensuring that the issue of missing persons remains a rule-of-law priority in the Western Balkan region. It is indeed important to remember the regional dimension of the wars in the former Yugoslavia, with tens of thousands of missing persons now living in neighbouring countries and with many of those who died during the conflicts having been buried in neighbouring countries.

ICMP activities financed at national level, at this point in time mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, include: technical support for locating and excavating clandestine graves; access to DNA testing and matching; support for local stakeholders to complete the review of unidentified remains in mortuaries through a systematic process involving additional blood collection from relatives of the missing in order to identify NN cases in mortuary facilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, increase the identification rate and significantly reduce the number of unidentified remains in storage.

Activities carried out under this regional preparatory action are separate from and complementary to the activities that are currently taking place at national level. It is essential to note that, while separate from each other, there are important synergies between the regional and national projects that will help ensure that goals are achieved under both actions.

In this process it is also important that investigations are done in a manner that respects the needs of families and the long-term societal need to provide a historically accurate accounting of atrocities that can counterbalance unsubstantiated and politically motivated narratives. To this end, the regional dimension will be very important in strengthening cooperation among associations of families in the countries concerned.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action builds on successful practices under the Union-funded preparatory action to support Arab Spring countries to implement asset recovery. That action focused on supporting Egypt, Libya and Tunisia in furthering asset recovery cases resulting from the 2011 revolutions that toppled their former leaders, in particular with respect to bilateral judicial cooperation with the Member States and other countries. This has resulted in, among other achievements, strengthened coordination between Arab Spring countries and the Member States on asset recovery, and in facilitating the recovery and return of over USD 300 million. In the light of the above, officials from the Member States and high-level officials of the original beneficiary states (including the Prime Minister of Libya, the Prosecutor-General of Egypt and the Minister for State Property for Tunisia) have indicated a strong interest in seeing a broader, more permanent Union programme to implement asset recovery which includes the activities referred to above:

(1)strengthening regional platforms for dialogue, exchange of best practices and operational cooperation (particularly with Union counterparts) on asset recovery;

(2)strengthening legislation on seizure and confiscation of assets linked to corruption;

(3)specialised case mentoring for asset recovery practitioners so as to produce better operational practices in tracing and recovering stolen assets;

(4)technical advice to ensure that recovered stolen assets are directed to high-priority development needs in national health and education sectors so as to help further stabilise Union neighbours;

(5)technical advice to ensure greater operational harmonisation with both the Union and Financial Action Task Force standards;

(6)dissemination of evidence-based research to enhance widespread knowledge of how assets are corruptly diverted and stolen, and to educate policymakers on how development is impeded by delays in the recovery of assets; and

(7)strengthening civil society’s role in prioritising the final destination of recovered assets.

It should be noted that the Global Project to Combat Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism (CRIS number: 038875) planned by the Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development (DG DEVCO) focuses principally on anti-money-laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, whereas this action focuses principally on asset recovery and on continuing the work of assisting beneficiary countries in actual high-level cases linked to acts of corruption and other forms of organised criminal activity. Accordingly, this preparatory action is distinct in nature, but will serve as a useful complement to the DG DEVCO project and strengthen its impact.

Given the value of asset recovery work in contributing to stabilisation among Union neighbours, the ownership taken up by national counterparts and the results achieved thus far through the expertise provided through the preliminary preparatory action, this preparatory action will be highly relevant to Tunisia and Libya, as well as to other European Neighbourhood Policy South partner countries (Jordan and Lebanon). Egypt will be involved in region-wide activities. The preparatory action, while distinct in scope from other pending or planned projects, will also serve to reinforce and complement such efforts to assist these countries in combating corruption, money laundering, the financing of terrorism and other forms of organised crime. This preparatory action will also directly support existing Union and United Nations sanctions regimes affecting countries in the Middle East and the North Africa region.

—expenditure on external personnel at headquarters (contract staff, seconded national experts or agency staff) limited to EUR 1 800 000. This personnel is intended to take over the tasks that were entrusted to external contractors handling the administration of individual experts and to manage programmes in third countries. That amount, based on an estimated annual cost per person/year, is intended to cover the remuneration of the external personnel in question and training, meetings, missions, information technology (IT) expenditure and telecommunications expenditure related to their tasks,

—expenditure on the development, maintenance, operation and support of information systems, intended for internal use or to improve the development and humanitarian nexus in key sectors such as food assistance and nutrition; coordination between the Commission and other institutions, national administrations, agencies, non-governmental organisations, other partners in humanitarian aid, and Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) experts in the field.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of humanitarian and food assistance operations of a humanitarian nature to help people in countries outside the Union who are the victims of conflicts or disasters, both natural and man-made (wars, outbreaks of fighting, etc.), or comparable emergencies, for as long as is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs that such situations give rise to. It will be carried out in accordance with the rules on humanitarian aid under Regulation (EC) No 1257/96.

The aid and assistance is granted to victims without discrimination or adverse distinction on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation. That aid and assistance is provided in accordance with international humanitarian law and should not be subject to restrictions imposed by other partner donors, as long as it is necessary to meet the humanitarian needs to which such situations give rise.

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

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

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

It covers, inter alia:

—measures to provide an enabling environment and access to quality education in humanitarian emergencies, including the basic rehabilitation and reconstruction of school buildings and facilities, psycho-social support, training of teachers and any product or equipment needed for the implementation of humanitarian aid operations related to access to education,

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

—the monitoring of humanitarian aid projects and plans and the promotion and development of initiatives intended to increase coordination and cooperation so as to make aid more effective and improve the monitoring of projects and plans,

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

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

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

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

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

—the transport and distribution of aid or assistance, including any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading and coordination,

—back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid or assistance, 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 or assistance (tools, utensils, fuel, etc.),

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

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

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

In order to ensure full financial transparency under Articles 62 and 154 to 156 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 Court of Auditors and to the Internal Auditor of the Commission.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The corresponding amount is estimated at EUR 133 000 000 in payment appropriations. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Other assigned revenue received under Items 4 0 1 1 and 6 6 0 0 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations under this article in accordance with Article 22(1) of the Financial Regulation.

—the management of an exercises programme including command post exercises, full-scale exercises and exercises for civil protection modules to test interoperability, train civil protection officials and create a common intervention culture,

—exchanges of experts to enhance understanding of Union civil protection and to share information and experience,

—information and communication (ICT) systems, in particular CECIS (common emergency communication and information system), facilitating the exchange of information with Member States during emergencies, to improve efficiency and to enable the exchange of ‘EU classified’ information. This covers the costs of development, maintenance, operation and support (hardware, software and services) of the systems. It also covers the cost of project management, quality control, security, documentation and training linked to the implementation of such systems,

—the study and development of civil protection modules within the meaning of Article 4 of Decision No 1313/2013/EU including support to improve their interoperability,

—the study and development of disaster detection and early warning systems,

—the study and development of scenario-building, asset mapping and plans for the deployment of response capacities,

Remarks

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

The creation of a network of European hubs, with existing infrastructures specialised in different components of civil protection and crisis management interventions, could help to prepare the Union, its Member States and various stakeholders (including the Directorate-General for European Civil protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations) for tackling new challenges in the field of civil protection and crisis management.

Emerging new risks can lead to global crises (for instance, population displacement or new types of terrorist attacks). Hence there is a need for:

(1)identifying existing gaps for which new scenarios should be designed to react to global crisis situations more quickly, more effectively and with deeper coordination between European actors. Experience sharing and promotion of best practices at European level will also make risk prevention more effective;

(2)existing infrastructure and projects to be used for enhanced capacity building and pooling for interventions in and outside Europe. This could involve geographical and technical specialisation of the hubs, depending on the type of risk, e.g. forest fires, health assistance, shelters and containers for humanitarian aid;

(3)designing new European standards for capacities (i.e. new types of crisis equipment) in order to strengthen European knowledge and make actions in the field more visible.

Legal basis

Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 58(2) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the implementation of the European Voluntary Humanitarian Aid Corps (‘EU Aid Volunteers initiative’).

The objective of the EU Aid Volunteers initiative is to contribute to strengthening the Union’s capacity to provide needs-based humanitarian aid aimed at preserving life, preventing and alleviating human suffering, and maintaining human dignity, and to strengthening the capacity and resilience of vulnerable or disaster-affected communities in third countries, particularly by means of disaster preparedness, disaster risk reduction and by enhancing the link between relief, rehabilitation and development.

—the identification and selection of candidate volunteers,

—the establishment of a training programme and support for training of candidate volunteers and apprenticeship placements,

—capacity building of hosting organisations,

—technical assistance for sending organisations,

—the establishment and management of a network for the EU Aid Volunteers initiative,

—communication and awareness raising,

—ancillary activity that furthers the accountability, transparency and effectiveness of the EU Aid Volunteers initiative.

Any income from additional financial contributions from Member States and contributions from third countries or from bodies other than those set up under the TFEU or the Euratom Treaty to certain external aid actions or programmes financed by the Union and managed by the Commission 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 points (a)(ii) and (e) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation. The amounts entered on the line for administrative support expenditure will be determined, without prejudice to Article 235(5) of the Financial Regulation, by the contribution agreement for each operational programme with an average not exceeding 4 % of the contributions for the corresponding programme for each chapter.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action will develop the potential and enhance the active and passive use of open data by linking data (linked open data) for European public administrations. The concept of open data is becoming a reference for the dissemination of data produced by public administrations. ‘Knowledge is open if anyone is free to access, use, modify and share it — subject, at most, to measures that preserve provenance and openness.’ Open data refers to data that is legally open (i.e. data published under an open licence with conditions for re-use limited to attribution) and technically open (i.e. machine-readable and non-proprietary where possible). In practice, this means that the data is free to access for everybody and that the file format and its content are not restricted to a particular non-open source software tool. In recent years, several initiatives to disseminate open data have been launched at national and European level, including the Open Data Portal of the Publications Office of the European Union.

Linked open data is a method of publishing structured open data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries. It builds upon standard web technologies, but, rather than using them to serve web pages for human readers, it extends them to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources and different policy areas to be connected and queried.

This preparatory action will boost linked open data in European public administrations by developing the implementation of linked open data techniques and infrastructure. The aim is to identify, assess and support the exploitation of the potential of linked open data for European public administrations and, consequently, facilitate the generation of new data, information and knowledge.

The preparatory action targets open data produced and released by European public administrations (notably the European data portal) and focuses on:

—enabling a core set of open data to be identified for linking according to ISA semantic guidelines. e.g. migration data,

—providing the technical solutions to generate targeted queries to be used by European public administrations, e.g. a search engine for linked open data on migration,

—providing the capability to define indicators and contextualise them, e.g. performance indicators for migration policies v statistics on migration,

—promoting the culture and potential of linked open data.

Open dissemination of public administration data is critical for ensuring transparency and accountability of policy actions and empowering citizens in democratic processes.

The preparatory action builds on the results of the ongoing activity financed for 2018, which aims to develop the technical and semantic standards for linked open data dissemination in European public administration.

The preparatory action will make progress in producing analysis services for users. Access to open data is not sufficient in itself to ensure data usability. While linking data provides a powerful tool to generate information, harnessing the power of data for knowledge should be based on user-friendly data analytics systems that put the citizen in control.

The preparatory action will tangibly demonstrate the power of data integration for information purposes and help public administrations in Europe move towards enabling the ‘web of data’ for knowledge generation.

The specific aim is to pilot the implementation of visualisation and data analytics services so as to exploit the public administration linked open data cloud with a user-centred focus. It will demonstrate scalable, user-friendly and tailored tools to manage, process and analyse the data and make sense of them through intuitive visual analytics tools.

The solution will ensure reuse of the services across public administrations and by national and European open data portals. Accordingly, the action will be based on a co-creation development platform that will crowdsource contributions from civil society organisations and experts and organise co-development initiatives involving the open data community, including collaborative workshops and hackathons.

Remarks

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

SMEs are a key engine for job creation and economic growth in Europe. They also include some of the most innovative start-up companies and are frequently linked to value creation and new product and service development. However, many SMEs have not yet fully benefited from the advantages of digital transformation.

In the context of the Digital Single Market, public administrations in Europe have promoted, with support from the Commission, the creation of generic digital public administration components enabling better services to be provided for citizens and business.

While these solutions have been adopted by public administrations in Europe as part of the digital transformation of government, in accordance with the principles set out in the Tallinn Declaration on eGoverment, their use for private-sector development has been limited so far. That reflects in part a lack of awareness about the technology potential of reusing these building blocks for market-based services.

Reusing generic open standards developed by public administrations for identity and access management, secure data exchange, digital trust services and eTranslation could help SMEs overcome the sunk cost of digital transformation and provide tools to create new services which can be offered in the market. This will create opportunities for growth and job creation and allow SMEs to benefit from digital transformation. At the same time SMEs could benefit from a one-stop-shop service portal to provide information and tools supporting compliance with Union data protection rules.

The pilot project will prepare ready-to-use implementations of open digital standards in the areas of digital identity and trust services and for secure data and documents exchange. The take-up of these solutions for the development and implementation of market services will be tested across different countries in Europe with the support of SME business associations. The prototype market services will demonstrate the use of eGovernment digital standards for private-sector development. The pilot project will also develop a service portal focused on SMEs’ compliance with Union data regulation rules and a set of tools to support data-enabled digital services.

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the programme or measures coming under this item, as well as any other expenditure on technical and administrative assistance not involving public authority tasks outsourced by the Commission under ad hoc service contracts, as the contracts of technical assistance offices expire during subsequent years.

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 points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Remarks

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

This preparatory action is aimed at identifying, developing, implementing and promoting the use of data analytics techniques in the Union and national policymaking process.

The use of data analytics (big data, data and text mining, business intelligence, data analytics) is becoming more and more instrumental in the Union decision-making process. Initiatives launched in recent years by the Commission, such as its Regulatory Fitness and Performance (REFIT) programme – which ensures that Union legislation delivers results for citizens and businesses effectively, efficiently and at minimum cost — and the better regulation agenda – on designing and evaluating Union policies and laws transparently, with evidence, and backed up by the views of citizens and stakeholders – openly promote interaction with citizens and call for the use of evidence in policymaking.

This preparatory action covers the development, implementation and promotion of data analytics solutions for evidence-based policymaking, with potential application at national and Union level. In particular:

—developing and implementing selected text mining solutions for analysing feedback from citizens on policies and initiatives (e.g. the Doris tool developed by the Commission),

—developing and implementing selected data mining solutions for assessing data in specific policy areas and adding intelligence,

—integrating those solutions in consultation processes (e.g. Doris for analysing the Better Regulation feedback; text mining solutions for Union Survey, the open-source survey solution developed by the Commission),

—developing and implementing data analytics tools for monitoring the performance of specific policies and contextualising them (e.g. key performance indicators for Union-funded programmes contextualised against the key social and economic indicators in that specific area).

The development of such data analytics (in the broad sense) solutions is in its early stage and requires dedicated actions to be embedded in the regular Union decision-making process. The potential benefits at Union level and the re-usability for Member States are expected to be relevant.

Legal basis

Remarks

Since expenditure on staff and buildings is included in the appropriations entered in Items XX 01 01 01 and XX 01 03 01 and Article 26 01 23, the Commission contribution, 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 that charge.

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

The recovery of the Union from the economic crisis and the effective implementation of its key goals of strong growth and global competitiveness, including through sustainable reindustrialisation and modernisation of the Union economy, must be founded on long-term environmental, economic and social sustainability. In the context of the ambitious climate commitments of the Union and its transition to a low-emission economy based on the circular model, its coal and carbon-intensive regions with a high proportion of workers in carbon-dependent sectors need targeted support to effectively contribute to this strategic transformation.

According to Eurostat figures, coal and lignite mining alone currently account for over 300 000 direct jobs in the Union. These are concentrated in a limited number of regions, where their impact on the local economy and social cohesion is the principal driver. In the face of the challenges of technological progress, global competition and demanding environmental and climate policies, the ability of those regions to contribute to and benefit from the Union’s transition to a low-emission circular economy has a crucial bearing on the overall success of the Union. This has been acknowledged by the Commission, which in Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 30 November 2016‘Clean Energy for All Europeans’ (COM(2016) 860 final) committed to ‘examine how to better support the transition in coal and carbon-intensive regions’.

This preparatory action will ensure the effectiveness of these support efforts, their long-term sustainability, and ultimately the success of the transformation of the Union as a whole and its global leadership, by establishing a platform which should enable the Commission to:

—identify the Union’s coal and carbon-intensive regions in transition and their smart specialisations,

—build a dedicated practical toolkit with (a) best practices, (b) existing support instruments identifying best synergies, and (c) information exchange with and between regions,

—establish stakeholder fora and provide tools for intra-regional exchanges, including on comprehensive roadmaps for low-emission reindustrialisation and reskilling needs,

—identify on-the-ground bottlenecks and streamline support to new technologies and clean-coal innovation development and uptake, including carbon capture and storage, carbon capture and utilisation and coal gasification,

—establish a compendium of best practices and operational guidelines, and eventually a practical toolkit for third country coal and carbon-intensive regions in transition, as part of the capacity-building measures under the Paris Agreement,

—set up a cross-DG team to (a) identify areas of possible Union policy/programme synergies with a view to ensuring the most effective financial and policy support post-2020; (b) assist regions (central and local authorities) in developing sustainable transition strategies by providing more targeted tools for intra-regional exchanges on best practices, including on comprehensive roadmaps for low-emission reindustrialisation,

—refocus existing stakeholder fora, including social dialogue and dialogue with civil society in general, on establishing just transition and economic strategies,

—provide additional financial support, on top of existing funding schemes without redeployment from other programmes, for the establishment of regional/local just transition roadmaps towards Union carbon neutrality by 2050 in the regions and communities most affected; extra funding should also support existing or future territorial/community projects that are based on the involvement of workers and communities affected through consultation and empowerment,

—strengthen the Platform for Coal Regions in Transition and its Secretariat (established by the preparatory action in 2018 and continued in 2019) in order to achieve the Union’s climate goals and fulfil its commitments under the Paris Agreement, while ensuring a just energy transition in which coal regions are not left behind, by providing an increased budget in 2020 and extending the scope of the action to:

—further technical assistance and capacity building in coal and carbon intensive regions in the Union in areas such as strategy preparation, project development, project financing and private investment facilitation (there were 20 pilot regions participating in the Union initiative as of March 2019, compared with four regions in 2017),

—engagement with Energy Community members and observers on coal regions in transition by organising regional outreach in cooperation with international financial institutions and international partners,

—development of a social dimension to the Platform for Coal Regions in Transition, applying best social innovation practices: reskilling and upskilling of workers and programmes for young people and retired miners.

Remarks

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

With its 2011 Low Carbon Economy Roadmap, the Commission developed a vision to largely decarbonise the European economy and set out specific steps to achieve that goal. The Union has confirmed that commitment, most prominently with the adoption of the Paris Agreement. While recognising that Member States have the sole prerogative to determine their national energy mix, this inevitably puts the focus on coal-mining regions, which have to deal with multiple challenges in connection with this transition, brought about by political decisions, economic realities and public aspirations. The Commission is therefore launching a dedicated dialogue in the form of a coal platform for regions facing this transition.

Activities: Produce a series of toolkits to integrate the results of coal platform meetings in order to support participants in developing local transition strategies in the following fields:

(a)establishing a governance process at local level: How to start an inclusive dialogue with a view to developing a common transition vision with local and social partners, civil society, industrial and economic actors and academia, including information on best practices and lessons learnt;

(b)access to funding: Guidance on existing Union funds and their possible combination and technical assistance for project aggregation to support the local transition strategies developed;

(c)employment and growth perspectives: How to support the labour market transition process (including reskilling and retraining as well as targeted support for vulnerable groups) with a regional concept for economic development to attract future-proof, local jobs;

(d)environmental rehabilitation: Guidance on converting former sites, including best practices on decommissioning, recultivation, remediation and re-establishment of ground water levels.

Remarks

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

This pilot project sets up a study to analyse the present and future potential demand for renewable energy in industrial sectors and processes, and make a comparative analysis of their ambitions, efficiency in reducing CO2 emissions, technology needs and investment needs so as to identify priorities in the direct and indirect electrification of industrial processes, which is essential for decarbonising Union industries.

The comparison examines the following issues:

(1)CO2 emissions saved in industrial processes through direct or indirect electrification;

(2)the value created through direct or indirect electrification (i.e. the added value of using decarbonised electricity or hydrogen in a specific sector or process compared to other means of decarbonisation);

(3)the impact of (direct or indirect) electrification on the energy system, in particular in terms of demand flexibility to contribute to the grid supply/demand balance, sector coupling and electricity storage (i.e. apart from the impact on electricity demand, whether the electrification of a sector or industrial process can contribute to making the energy system more flexible, stable and secure, for example via demand response or long-term storage or by reducing or reusing waste heat).

The pilot project focuses on as many industrial sectors as possible, in particular on the key industrial CO2 emitters, as well as on intermediate products that make it possible to create a more sustainable supply chain, and on industrial processes with high added value. The project will develop a methodology for prioritising sectors and industries.

The pilot project includes a number of case studies of industrial partners in order to test the analysis in practical business cases.

Remarks

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

This pilot project aims to reduce household energy consumption and guarantee universal access to energy. Energy poverty is a Europe-wide problem that requires a holistic approach underpinned by a joint, strong effort at all levels: local, regional, national and European. Towns, cities and regions are often best placed to identify at an early stage those households at risk of energy poverty and thus tackle it in the most effective way.

By the end of this pilot project, outcomes will include:

—providing vulnerable homes with technical support to reduce energy consumption and costs, together with support to improve their energy performance,

—action across a number of government departments involving public health, social services, housing and environmental services, in order to take coordinated action to tackle the various aspects of energy poverty, which causes public health problems and social vulnerability and is often is linked to buildings with poor energy performance; reducing energy consumption also has a positive effect in terms of combating climate change,

—actions to link energy savings in local public facilities with the creation of a fund to fight energy poverty in all municipalities,

—actions to empower consumers in their energy consumption patterns,

—assessments of how energy poverty projects can improve the local economy by creating opportunities for energy investments in private houses, and help create jobs,

—dissemination actions including Europe-wide exchange of good practices.

Objectives

The pilot project focuses both on measures to raise awareness and exchange good local and regional practices for tackling energy poverty and on concrete measures to reduce energy poverty in Europe.

According to the Buildings Performance Institute Europe (BPIE-2014) between 50 000 000 and 125 000 000 people in the Union are currently suffering from fuel poverty and cannot afford proper indoor thermal comfort. In addition, investments in energy efficiency can help to prevent fuel poverty and, as stated in Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, should be a priority for energy-poor households.

The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, which recently celebrated its 11th anniversary, is a unique bottom-up movement with 7 755 signatory cities, bringing together local and regional authorities voluntarily committing to implementing the Union’s climate and energy objectives, offering citizens a high quality of life in sustainable and climate-resilient cities.

On 25 September 2015, the United Nations adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new Sustainable Development Agenda. Each Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years. SDG 1 ‘End poverty’ and SDG 7 ‘Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all’ relate to this project. In parallel there is an ongoing initiative – Urban Agenda for the EU – to tackle various key aspects of the Union’s future policy in this area. The related process involves two specific partnerships: energy transition and urban poverty.

To sum up: energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity for Europe today; whether for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, universal access to energy is essential.

Preparatory action — Teaching island authorities and communities how to tender for renewable energy projects

Remarks

Under this preparatory action, island authorities and communities will be taught how to write open tenders themselves. The open tenders will then be for private clean-energy companies to competitively respond to with proposals, in particular in connection with solar, wind energy, storage (not only batteries) and district heating/cooling.

Rapidly falling renewable energy costs and increasing numbers of clean-energy providers mean that Union islands should now be transitioning to clean energy, provided that their authorities know how to write, evaluate and award tenders. For islands with low administrative budgets, this process is risky, as it makes highly technical, financial and legal demands. This preparatory action will provide islands with off-the-shelf templates for tendering and will be developed throughout its duration by taking island representatives to visit renewable energy experts for islands and sites around Europe, where profitable clean-energy projects are already being delivered, where possible involving renewable energy communities, in order to share first-hand experiences and learn about the latest project life-cycle budgeting for islands. These real-life training classes and site visits will then be distilled into free, open-access online training courses at the end of the preparatory action.

This preparatory action reverses the normal Union project process, in that, instead of providing a successful standalone proposal in response to a Commission open tender, it will teach island communities how to write tenders themselves, to which they will receive responses that they have been trained to process and manage.

In short, it follows the well-known mantra: ‘Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a person to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.’

Remarks

The preparatory action is unique in that it brings together, through the new framework of the Global Covenant of Mayors, villages and rural areas which are at the forefront of climate change action. Union villages and rural authorities around the world, having a closer knowledge of climate change challenges for rural territories and having pushed for an ambitious global climate agreement, will join forces to lead the efforts to achieve the climate objective of zero emissions by 2050.

Union villages will work closely together within and beyond the Union for overall capacity building and, specifically, to share experiences, transfer knowledge and know-how on sustainable energy and climate planning, share best examples on climate change mitigation and adaptation, and share knowledge about Union innovative financial instruments in support of sustainable energy investments.

The preparatory action will involve analysis of existing good practices for sustainable energy and climate planning implemented in villages and rural areas and the development of innovative integrated rural strategies to properly address access to energy and energy poverty, climate change mitigation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as adaptation of rural territories to climate change.

These strategies will be in line with the ‘Clean Planet for All’ strategy (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 28 November 2018‘A Clean Planet for all – A European strategic long-term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy’ (COM(2018) 773 final)) and the ‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ package (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 30 November 2016‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ (COM(2016) 860 final)), as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and ‘Sustainable Energy for All’ objectives.

Finally, provision will be made for the transparent monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions in line with the requirements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The provisions on consumer empowerment in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources (OJ L 328, 21.12.2018, p. 82) and Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU (OJ L 158, 14.6.2019, p. 125) are among the most innovative in the Clean Energy for all Europeans Package. They oblige Member States to adopt enabling frameworks for energy communities. Directive (EU) 2019/944 provides for a level playing field for ‘citizen energy communities’ on electricity markets, while Directive (EU) 2018/2001 requires adoption of a level playing field and incentives for ‘renewable energy communities’ active in all areas of renewable energy. While energy communities already exist in some Member States, they are a novelty in others.

The energy communities repository should fulfil two basic functions: (i) monitoring and collecting data on development of energy communities in the Union and (ii) providing communities with models for technological and administrative solutions.

The data collected through the repository would constitute a very important source of information for the European institutions and national and local governments. The data would feed in to existing and future policy streams. In other words, it would facilitate the implementation or, if need be, revision or improvement of the regulatory framework.

In addition, the repository could be a great source of know-how for citizens and citizen associations that wish to set up their energy communities, in particular in Member States that have not developed regulatory frameworks or best practices so far. Best practices may include technological solutions, e.g. for electricity sharing, the use of blockchain and distributed ledgers for transacting and providing information on the origin of electricity from sources belonging to the community, and documentation to set up a community, e.g. models for rules of associations and examples of agreements with distribution system operators.

Remarks

A European private-sector dimension will be developed to complement existing bottom-up energy/climate initiatives of cities local municipalities (e.g. the Covenant of Mayors). By engaging leading (industrial and commercial) companies to form a Union-wide (voluntary) movement, the scale, impact and synergies of actions taken by different levels of governance can be increased. Voluntary incentives for action are needed as the share of CO2 emissions from industry is expected to grow in relative terms compared to energy supply and road transport towards 2050.

Remarks

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

This appropriation will be used for Horizon 2020 — the framework programme for research and innovation, which covers the 2014 to 2020 period, and for the completion of the previous research programmes (seventh framework programme and preceding framework programmes) and the completion of the ‘Intelligent energy — Europe’ programmes (prior to 2014).

Horizon 2020 activities, in particular those addressed under the societal challenge ‘Secure, clean and efficient energy’, but also relevant parts of other sections of the programme, including ‘Access to finance’, implemented in line with the Union’s energy policy framework and in particular the Energy Union strategy (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 25 February 2015‘A Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking Climate Change Policy’ (COM(2015) 80 final)) as well as the European strategic energy technology plan (SET-Plan) and Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 2 May 2013. ‘Energy Technologies and Innovation’ (COM(2013) 253 final), will contribute primarily to the Europe 2020 flagship initiative ‘Innovation Union’ and other flagship initiatives, notably ‘Resource-efficient Europe’, ‘An industrial policy for the globalisation era’ and ‘A digital agenda for Europe’, as well as in the development and functioning of the European Research Area. Horizon 2020 will contribute to building an economy based on knowledge and innovation across the whole Union by leveraging sufficient additional research, development and innovation funding.

Horizon 2020 will be carried out in order to pursue the general objectives described in Article 179 TFEU, in order to contribute to the creation of a society of knowledge, based on the European Research Area, i.e. supporting transnational cooperation at all levels throughout the Union, taking the dynamism, creativity and the excellence of European research to the limits of knowledge, strengthening human resources for research and for technology in Europe, quantitatively and qualitatively, and research and innovation capacities in the whole of Europe and ensuring optimum use thereof.

In Horizon 2020, gender equality is addressed as a cross-cutting issue in order to rectify imbalances between women and men and to integrate a gender dimension in research and innovation content. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation at all levels, including decision making, of women in research and innovation.

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

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

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

Societal challenges

Remarks

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

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to support the implementation of the societal challenge ‘Secure, clean and efficient energy’ of the Horizon 2020 priorities, in line with the Union’s energy policy and in particular the Energy Union strategy (Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 25 February 2015‘A Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking Climate Change Policy’ (COM(2015) 80 final)), Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 30 November 2016‘Clean Energy for all Europeans’ (COM(2016) 860 final), Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 22 November 2007‘A European Strategic Energy Technology Plan’ (SET-Plan) (COM(2007) 723 final) and Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 2 May 2013‘Energy Technologies and Innovation’ (COM(2013) 253 final). These initiatives are primarily addressing energy efficiency, wind, solar, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage, smart cities and electricity grids. In recognition of their important contribution to future sustainable energy systems, at least 85 % of the budget appropriations over the period 2014-2020 will be allocated to the renewable and end-use energy efficiency policy areas, including smart grids and energy storage.

Support to market uptake measures will be part of the Horizon 2020 programme to build capacity, improve governance and overcome market barriers so that energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions can be rolled out, thus contributing to improving energy security in the Union. Part of the appropriations in the overall energy challenge budget will therefore be spent on market uptake activities for existing renewable and energy efficiency technologies within the programme, carried out by a dedicated management structure, and will include support for sustainable energy policy implementation, capacity building and mobilisation of financing for investment, in line with what has been done to date. Attention shall be paid to helping to close the research and innovation divide in Europe, without undermining the excellence criteria.

Remarks

The preparatory action will build on pilot project ‘Capacity-building for Roma civil society and strengthening its involvement in the monitoring of national Roma integration strategies’ (Item 33 02 77 09), which is nearing completion, and by drawing lessons from that project it will, in an improved way, continue contributing to the strengthening and further capacity building of Roma and pro-Roma civil society as well as to the monitoring mechanism regarding Roma inclusion, especially by producing and disseminating independent reports in which civil society coalitions could present alternative information and data to what is contained in the reports submitted by Member States concerning the implementation of their strategies. These civil society reports could provide local knowledge to help national and European policy processes and reflect on the real social impact of government measures.

Monitoring will focus on the local implementation of strategies in the four priority areas (employment, education, housing, health), as regards anti-discrimination, combating anti-Gypsyism and promoting gender equality, and will also provide information on the level of involvement of civil society, the use of Union funds and the mainstreaming of Roma inclusion measures.

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

Empowering civil society organisations, movements and individuals is key to a truly democratic Union and its values as enshrined in the Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This preparatory action will create a Union fund for awareness raising and legal assistance to individuals and civil society organisations litigating democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights violations based on the outcome of a requested feasibility study. This feasibility study should include an overview of the current obstacles facing individuals and NGOs wishing to exercise their rights regarding democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights through litigation. The fund will work closely with and build upon the work of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights.

Remarks

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

This preparatory action will help strengthen a wide range of civil society organisations, including some new actors not actively involved in fighting money laundering and financial crimes, so as to build up their expertise and capacity in connection with Union law and rules, enhance awareness-raising efforts and further develop tools and instruments to fight money laundering and financial crimes. In the light of the challenges revealed by the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers scandals and the fifth revision of the Anti-Money Laundering Directive (providing public access to beneficial owner registers of companies and access to people with a legitimate interest for beneficial owners of trusts), it is apparent that the Union-level capacity of a wide range of organisations in this field (e.g. NGOs, trade unions and academic communities) needs to be boosted. Enhanced capacity building for research, training and awareness raising, alliance building (including with journalists) and greater involvement of civil society experts in the design and implementation of, and advocacy for, action to combat money laundering and financial crimes will create synergies with current Union efforts to put an end to such abusive and criminal practices.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover expenditure for achieving the objectives established through the multiannual consumer programme for the years 2014-2020. The aim of the programme is to ensure a high level of consumer protection and to empower consumers in the heart of the internal market within the framework of an overall strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, by contributing to the protection of the health, safety, legal and economic interests of consumers, as well as to the promotion of their right to information, education and to organise themselves in order to safeguard their interests, supporting the integration of such consumer interests into other policy areas, as well as to increase customers’ knowledge of their fundamental rights and their trust in the market and public authorities and to facilitate the complaints and dispute resolution mechanisms. The programme complements, supports and monitors the policies of Member States.

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

—safety: to consolidate and enhance product safety through effective market surveillance, in particular in the Digital Single Market, throughout the Union,

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

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

—enforcement: to support enforcement of consumer rights by strengthening cooperation between national enforcement bodies and by supporting consumers with advice. The programme also takes into account new societal challenges which have grown in importance in recent years. They include: the increased complexity of consumer decision-making, the need to move towards more sustainable patterns of consumption, the opportunities and threats that digitalisation brings, an increase in social exclusion and the number of vulnerable consumers, and an ageing population.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, those 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 points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

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

Remarks

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

This pilot project will focus on strengthening consumer organisations’ capacities in relation to testing and comparing basic consumption products both as regards dual quality issues and in a national context. The pilot project will support organisations in identifying and counteracting misleading branding strategies or misleading information on packaging in all relevant instances in order to maximise consumer protection objectives. The outcomes of the pilot project will help improve consumer organisations’ testing capacities and expand exchange of best practices between consumer organisations, competent authorities and relevant private players. The pilot project will also improve consumer organisations’ advocacy policies in the areas referred to.

The pilot project will explore the reaction patterns and effectiveness of consumer organisations across the Single Market when dealing with the above issues. This will include identification of capacity weaknesses and recommendations for further protection of consumers through empowerment of consumer organisations. The pilot project will help raise awareness among consumers and empower them to use their rights in any ‘representative action’, further to the proposals in the recent ‘New deal for consumers’ package, should Union law be adopted. Non-profit organisations, such as consumer associations, could seek redress on behalf of a group of consumers, which will provide a far fairer level playing field when it comes to infringements of Union consumer law concerning several or all Member States.

The target group consists of consumer organisations in the Union. The activities supported by the pilot project will be tailored to the specific needs of each participating country and will involve the target consumer organisations so as to create a sense of ownership of the project activities. The pilot project will be implemented in close coordination with relevant projects for capacity building for consumer organisations, led by the Commission, by embedding the pilot activities within such projects. The results of the Union-wide testing exercise by the Joint Research Centre in 2018 will be fully taken into account when designing the specific activities for the pilot project.

Remarks

This preparatory action is a follow-up to pilot projects from 2017, 2018 and 2019. It will be carried out in a manner that is fully consistent with what has already been done by the Commission to address the issue of dual quality. It will take fully into account the results of the pilot projects, thus ensuring continuity. Moreover, the preparatory action will build on a common methodology as well as on what has emerged and what has been learnt from the Union-wide testing campaign. It will focus on extending the scope of research to include non-food products (e.g. detergents, cosmetics, toiletries and baby products, as provided for under the pilot projects), with samples from all Member States, and on the feasibility of creating a permanent quality monitoring centre for products sold on the internal market, with a view to long-term action to resolve the issue of dual quality on the internal market.

Remarks

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

CO2 levels in the atmosphere have risen steeply over the past 250 years and carbon capture from the atmosphere could be an essential tool to mitigate global warming. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions, halting deforestation and preventing the negative impacts of land use change are crucial for achieving the Union’s long-term climate ambitions. However, more tools can be added to the toolbox in order to more efficiently tackle the impacts of global warming. The amount of atmospheric carbon also needs to be reduced, which is where carbon capture could prove useful. Carbon sequestration into biomass and soil is widely accepted as one key solution, but it lacks a global economic model to put it in practice.

The pilot project will study and create a sustainable, widely accepted and measurable carbon storage concept. The concept focuses on carbon sequestration in biomass, such as forests, and in soil, such as carbon sequestrated below ground, e.g. in roots. The main focus is on forest carbon sequestration as there are many ongoing soil carbon studies and projects. The pilot project will map out a concept that could be used as a viable climate change mitigation method and subsequently create a business case for companies to invest in afforestation. In practical terms, this could involve allowing an oil company, for example, to fulfil part of its annual greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction requirement or energy/volume based biofuel blending mandate through a verified and measured newly established carbon sink (e.g. forest, tonnes of CO2 captured).

Climate change is a global phenomenon and it makes no difference where in the world GHG are emitted or absorbed. There is small-scale piloting in Morocco. Numerous benefits could be gained from conducting large-scale afforestation projects in developing countries outside the Union, i.e. in countries that are sources of migration to the Union, in major conflict zones and/or in countries with soil quality problems. This would not only mitigate climate change globally, but also benefit the local communities by combating erosion and desertification and supporting food production, as well as potentially reducing the migration pressure on the Union. However, the current land use, land use change and forestry regulation only acknowledges domestic management actions by the Member States. Instead, afforestation and other direct measures promoting the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere conducted, for example, by a European company in a third country should be counted towards the net credits of the Member State where the company is registered. This approach would enable further modifications to be made to the Union or national obligations of energy companies, for example, focusing on actual GHG reductions rather than on strict blending mandates. The objective is to make such carbon sink actions in third countries financially attractive to companies and other actors in Europe without excluding mitigation measures implemented within the Union.

The pilot project addresses all the necessary success factors, ranging from regulatory aspects, including testing and verifying carbon sink measuring methods, to sustainability and technical feasibility studies, and small-scale piloting with irrigation, soil improvement and plant selection. Small-scale piloting in Morocco will concentrate mainly on finding fast-growing tree species that can benefit from soil improvement and irrigation. Intercropping different species such as legumes will not be implemented in the project, but knowledge from other projects, such as CLIMA, can be studied in the literature review and will be implemented in the next phase, involving large-scale projects. Other kinds of soil carbon cultivation methods will not be covered in the project either.

During the pilot project, carbon capture measurement and verifying methods will be studied. This is one of the most important areas of the project as the measuring of carbon provides a basis for large-scale and commercial use of carbon sequestration. In the future, the amount of carbon sequestered should be measured according to international and verified methods so as to give precise and reliable data (e.g. the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines on carbon sink measurement). The entire process needs to be regularly verified and audited to ensure legislative compliance. In practice, the objective of the project is to carry out all necessary actions so as to amend Union-level legislation in order to enable commercial carbon sequestration for companies in third countries. The necessary actions include carbon sink measurement surveys and verifying work, regulatory surveys and all surveys needed as regards amending Union legislation and meeting the requirements of the IPCC guidelines.

This appropriation is intended to cover all operational expenditure needed for the implementation of the Innovation Fund (IF) by the Commission in accordance with Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/856 subject to the final decision on the delegation of the Innovation Fund.

For budget year 2020, a first call for proposals for projects in the range of EUR 1,0-1,5 billion is planned and expected to be launched at the beginning of the second half of 2020.

The necessary appropriations would be generated by the revenue arising from the auctioning, as of January 2020 of the first tranche of the 50 million emission allowances allocated to the Innovation Fund from the market stability reserve and the unspent amounts from the previous NER300 fund. Payments for projects selected from the first call are expected to be made from 2021 onwards.

Remarks

The emergency aid reserve is intended to allow for a rapid response to specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection, and situations of particular pressure resulting from migratory flows at the Union’s external borders where circumstances so require.

The annual amount of the reserve is fixed at EUR 280 000 000 (2011 prices) and may be used up to year n+1 in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The reserve shall be entered in the general budget of the Union as a provision. The portion of the annual amount stemming from the previous year shall be drawn on first. That portion of the annual amount from year n which is not used in year n+1 shall lapse.

Remarks

The aim of this reserve is to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to demonstrate solidarity towards, and to support, workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of the continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to provide financial support for their rapid reintegration into sustainable employment.

The methods for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the EGF are laid down in point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management.

Legal basis

Remarks

The principle of a negative reserve is provided for in Article 50 of the Financial Regulation. This reserve must be drawn upon before the end of the financial year by means of transfer in accordance with the procedure laid down in Articles 30 and 31 of the Financial Regulation.

Legal basis

Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union, amending Regulations (EU) No 1296/2013, (EU) No 1301/2013, (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) No 1304/2013, (EU) No 1309/2013, (EU) No 1316/2013, (EU) No 223/2014, (EU) No 283/2014, and Decision No 541/2014/EU and repealing Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 966/2012 (OJ L 193, 30.7.2018, p. 1).

ANNEXES

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

Under the Agreement establishing the European Economic Area the EFTA States (with the exception of Switzerland) take part in a wide range of Union policies covered by subheading 1a and headings 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the multiannual financial framework in exchange for a financial contribution to operating appropriations calculated by applying a ‘proportionality factor’. This proportionality factor is equal to the sum of the ratios obtained by dividing the gross domestic product at market prices of each EFTA State by the gross domestic product at market prices of all the Member States plus that of the EFTA State concerned.

For 2020 the proportionality factor is estimated at 2,45 % (on the basis of 2018 figures), i.e. 2,27 % for Norway, 0,14 % for Iceland and 0,04 % for Liechtenstein.

These financial contributions will not be formally entered into the budget; each budget heading relating to activities in which the EFTA States take part will refer to the EFTA contribution as a memorandum item. A summary table, listing the budget headings concerned and the amounts of the EFTA contribution for each budget heading, is published as an annex to the general budget of the Union. The total EFTA contribution for the operational part for 2020 is estimated at about EUR 480 659 885 in commitment appropriations. The EFTA States will also share in the administrative expenditure directly linked to the implementation of these policies.

It provides information on the amounts of the borrowing-and-lending operations guaranteed by the Union budget: loans for balance-of-payments support (BOP), assistance under the European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSM), borrowing operations to provide macro-financial assistance to third countries (MFA), Euratom borrowings to contribute to the financing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain third countries and European Investment Bank loans in certain third countries.

At 31 December 2018, outstanding operations covered by the Union budget totalled EUR 82 468 080 471, of which a total of EUR 50 437 225 468 referred to operations inside the Union and EUR 32 030 855 003 outside the Union (including accrued interest and rounding, exchange rate applicable at 31 December 2018).

B. BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF BORROWING-AND-LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE UNION BUDGET

I. SINGLE FACILITY PROVIDING MEDIUM-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBER STATES’ BALANCES OF PAYMENTS

1. Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 of 18 February 2002 establishing a facility providing medium-term financial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 53, 23.2.2002, p. 1).

Council Regulation (EC) No 1360/2008 of 2 December 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 332/2002 (OJ L 352, 31.12.2008, p. 11).

2. Description

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 332/2002, the Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties in their balance of current payments or capital movements. Only Member States which have not adopted the euro may benefit from this facility. The outstanding amount of loans was limited to EUR 12 000 000 000 in principal.

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

On 20 January 2009, the Council decided to provide Community medium-term financial assistance for Latvia in the form of a medium-term loan of a principal of up to EUR 3 100 000 000 for a maximum average maturity of 7 years.

On 18 May 2009, the Council decided to extend the facility to EUR 50 000 000 000.

3. Effect on the budget

Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated in case of default. As at 31 December 2018 the outstanding capital amount under this instrument is EUR 1 700 000 000.

2. Description

Article 122(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides for the possibility of the Union granting financial assistance to a Member State which is in difficulties or is seriously threatened with severe difficulties caused, inter alia, by exceptional occurrences beyond its control.

The guarantee provided by the Union is for borrowings raised on the capital markets or from financial institutions.

In accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 407/2010, the outstanding amount of loans and credit lines granted to Member States under the European financial stabilisation mechanism shall be limited to the margin available under the Union’s own resources for payment appropriations.

This item constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the Union. It will enable the Commission to service the debt should debtors default.

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

On 21 June 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the average loan maturity and providing the possibility to extend instalment maturities at the request of Ireland (OJ L 173, 26.6.2013, p. 40).

On 21 June 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the average loan maturity and providing the possibility to extend instalment maturities at the request of Portugal. In addition, measures to be adopted by the country in line with specification in the Memorandum of Understanding were specified (OJ L 175, 27.6.2013, p. 47).

On 22 October 2013, the Council decided to amend Implementing Decision 2011/77/EU by extending the availability of the financial assistance granted to Ireland (OJ L 282, 24.10.2013, p. 71).

3. Effect on the budget

Since both parts of these borrowing-and-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated in case of default. At 31 December 2018 the outstanding capital amount under this instrument is EUR 46 800 000 000.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

—one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

—activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

VII.   EUROPEAN UNION GUARANTEE FOR EURATOM BORROWINGS TO IMPROVE THE DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY OF NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS IN THE COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES

1. Legal basis

Council Decision 77/270/Euratom of 29 March 1977 empowering the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the financing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 88, 6.4.1977, p. 9).

2. Description

Pursuant to Decision 94/179/Euratom (OJ L 84, 29.3.1994, p. 41), the European Union extends the scope of Euratom borrowings under Decision 77/270/Euratom to the improvement of the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in the countries of central and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The maximum amount of Euratom borrowings for the Member States and third countries remains fixed at EUR 4 000 000 000.

In 2000 the Commission decided on a loan for Kozloduy in Bulgaria (EUR 212 500 000) and the last instalment was in 2006. In 2000 the Commission granted a loan to K2R4 in Ukraine but reduced the loan amount to the EUR equivalent of USD 83 000 000 in 2004. K2R4 was granted a loan of EUR 39 000 000 (first tranche) in 2007, USD 22 000 000 in 2008, and USD 10 335 000 in 2009 under the 2004 Commission Decision. In 2004 the Commission decided on a loan for Cernavodă in Romania (EUR 223 500 000). A first instalment of EUR 100 000 000 and a second one of EUR 90 000 000 were disbursed in 2005 and the last one of EUR 33 500 000 in 2006.

In 2013 the Commission decided to grant a loan to Energoatom, Ukraine, of EUR 300 000 000 for safety upgrades of nuclear power plants. The loan will be provided in cooperation with the EBRD, which provides another EUR 300 000 000 loan in parallel. The conditions precedent to the initial availability of the loan have been assessed as fully met in 2015 and the loan was declared effective.

On 27 May 2015 the Commission authorised disbursements under the Euratom loan to Energoatom in the amount of up to EUR 100 000 000, subject to Energoatom having drawn the loan amount granted by the EBRD in an amount not less than EUR 50 000 000. These loans benefit from State guarantees which cover 100% of the amounts outstanding at year end. The first tranche of EUR 50 000 000 was disbursed in May 2017 and the second tranche of EUR 50 000 000 was disbursed in July 2018.

3. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

—one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

—activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

From 1 January 2007, loans with Bulgaria and Romania cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

3. Description

Under the Financial Protocols concluded with Mediterranean third countries, global amounts are laid down for loans to be granted by the European Investment Bank from its own funds. The European Investment Bank (EIB) grants the loans for purposes which may contribute to the economic and social development of the countries in question (transport infrastructures, ports, water supply, production and distribution of energy, agricultural projects and promotion of small and medium-sized businesses).

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the EIB for loans for projects in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covered a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible extension of six months).

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

On 29 November 1999, the Council decided to grant a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans for projects for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 600 000 000 and covered a period of three years beginning on 29 November 1999 (with a possible extension of six months).

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on the basis of a Commission proposal and after consulting the European Parliament, decided once again to grant the EIB the Community guarantee against losses resulting from loans for projects carried out in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Gaza and the West Bank. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is limited to 65 % of the total value of the appropriations made available plus all the related amounts. It covers a period of seven years from 1 February 2000 to 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period the loans granted by the EIB had not reached the abovementioned total values, the period has automatically been extended by six months.

On 4 December 2000, the Council decided to establish an EIB special action programme in support of the consolidation and intensification of the EC-Turkey Customs Union. The value of those loans is limited to an overall ceiling of EUR 450 000 000.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, West Bank and Gaza, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya (eligibility to be decided by the Council), Morocco, Syria, Tunisia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of six months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %.

Decision 2006/1016/EC has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Decision No 1080/2011/EU, which entered into force on 30 October 2011, increased the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided under EIB financing operations from EUR 25 800 000 000 to EUR 29 484 000 000 (EUR 2 000 000 000 for financing of climate change operations and EUR 1 684 000 000 for enhancing EIB risk operations).

Decision No 466/2014/EU granted an EU guarantee to the EIB against losses under financing operations supporting investment projects outside the Union (pre-accession countries, neighbourhood and partnership countries, Asia and Latin America, South Africa) throughout the period 2014-2020. It has been amended by Decision (EU) 2018/412 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 March 2018 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 30). The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations, as per the amending Decision, is not to exceed EUR 32 300 000 000 broken down into regional ceilings and sub-ceilings as well as into:

(a)a maximum amount of EUR 30 000 000 000 under a general mandate, of which EUR 1 400 000 000 is earmarked for projects in the public sector directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration; and

(b)a maximum amount of EUR 2 300 000 000 under a private-sector lending mandate for projects directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration.

The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

—one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

—activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default,

—the granting, in a series of cases, of interest-rate subsidies of 2 % in non-repayable aid, subject to the overall amounts laid down by the Financial Protocols.

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

3. Description

In response to a call made by the Council on 9 October 1989, the Board of Governors of the European Investment Bank (EIB) decided on 29 November 1989 to authorise the Bank to provide loans from its own resources to finance investment projects in Hungary and Poland for a total amount not exceeding EUR 1 000 000 000. These loans are granted to finance investment projects which satisfy the Bank’s usual requirements for loans from its own resources.

On 14 May 1991 and 15 March 1993, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the EIB might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of 2 years up to a maximum of EUR 700 000 000.

On 13 December 1993, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew for 3 years the Community guarantee for EUR 3 000 000 000 in EIB loans for projects in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Albania.

The budget guarantee covers all aspects of debt-servicing (repayment of capital, interest, related costs) in connection with these loans.

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the EIB for loans for projects in Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 3 520 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of central and eastern Europe. It covers a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 1997. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the EIB had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

On 19 May 1998, the Council decided to grant a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans for projects in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 150 000 000 for a period of 2 years beginning on 1 January 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the EIB had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

On 14 December 1998, the Council decided to amend Decision 97/256/EC in order to extend the Community guarantee to the EIB to loans for projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is EUR 100 000 000 for a period of two years beginning on 22 December 1998. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the EIB had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

On 22 December 1999, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the EIB for loans for projects in Albania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2000/24/EC is equivalent to EUR 19 460 000 000. The guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. It covers a period of seven years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the EIB had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

On 7 November 2000, the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the EIB to loans for projects in Croatia.

On 6 November 2000, the Council decided to extend the guarantee granted by the Community to the EIB to loans for projects in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Decision 2005/47/EC restructured the Mediterranean regional mandate to exclude Cyprus, Malta and Turkey which were included in the South Eastern Neighbours mandate.

Decision 2006/1016/EC grants a Community guarantee to the EIB against losses under loans and loan guarantees for projects outside the Community for loans in the following candidates: Croatia, Turkey, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and potential candidate countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available for all countries under Decision 2006/1016/EC is equivalent to EUR 27 800 000 000 and covers the period beginning on 1 February 2007 and ending on 31 December 2013 with a possible extension of 6 months. The Community guarantee is restricted to 65 %. This Decision has been replaced by Decision No 633/2009/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Decision No 1080/2011/EU, which entered into force on 30 October 2011, increased the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided under EIB financing operations from EUR 25 800 000 000 to EUR 29 484 000 000 (EUR 2 000 000 000 for financing of climate change operations and EUR 1 684 000 000 for enhancing EIB risk operations).

Decision No 466/2014/EU granted an EU guarantee to the EIB against losses under financing operations supporting investment projects outside the Union (pre-accession countries, neighbourhood and partnership countries, Asia and Latin America, South Africa) throughout the period 2014-2020. It has been amended by Decision (EU) 2018/412 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 March 2018 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 30). The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations, as per the amending Decision, is not to exceed EUR 32 300 000 000 broken down into regional ceilings and sub-ceilings as well as into:

(a)a maximum amount of EUR 30 000 000 000 under a general mandate, of which EUR 1 400 000 000 is earmarked for projects in the public sector directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration; and

(b)a maximum amount of EUR 2 300 000 000 under a private-sector lending mandate for projects directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration.

The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

—one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

—activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

Loans with new Member States cease to be external actions (see Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2273/2004 (OJ L 396, 31.12.2004, p. 28)) and are therefore covered directly by the Union budget and no longer by the Fund.

3. Description

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

Decision 93/115/EEC set an overall limit of EUR 250 000 000 a year for a period of 3 years.

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

On 14 April 1997, the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament, decided to renew the Community guarantee to the EIB for loans for projects in the following countries of Asia and Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, India, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the appropriations made available, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the appropriations made available is equivalent to EUR 7 105 000 000, of which EUR 900 000 000 is for the abovementioned countries of Asia and Latin America. It covered a period of 3 years beginning on 31 January 1997 (with a possible extension of six months).

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees.

It covers a period of seven years beginning on 1 February 2000 and ending on 31 January 2007. As at the end of that period, the loans granted by the EIB had not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period has been automatically extended by six months.

The EIB is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 30 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This percentage is to be increased whenever possible, in so far as the market allows.

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

Decision No 1080/2011/EU, which entered into force on 30 October 2011, increased the aggregate amount of credits disbursed and guarantees provided under EIB financing operations from EUR 25 800 000 000 to EUR 29 484 000 000 (EUR 2 000 000 000 for financing of climate change operations and EUR 1 684 000 000 for enhancing EIB risk operations).

It has been amended by Decision (EU) 2018/412 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 of March 2018 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 30). The maximum ceiling of the EIB financing operations, as per the amending Decision, is not to exceed EUR 32 300 000 000 broken down into regional ceilings and sub-ceilings as well as into:

(a)a maximum amount of EUR 30 000 000 000 under a general mandate, of which EUR 1 400 000 000 is earmarked for projects in the public sector directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration; and

(b)a maximum amount of EUR 2 300 000 000 under a private-sector lending mandate for projects directed towards the long-term economic resilience of refugees, migrants, host and transit communities, and communities of origin as a strategic response to addressing root causes of migration.

The EU guarantee is restricted to 65 % of the aggregated outstanding amount.

4. Effect on the budget

Since the entry into force of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2728/94 of 31 October 1994 establishing a Guarantee Fund for external actions (OJ L 293, 12.11.1994, p. 1), subsequently amended by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 480/2009 (OJ L 145, 10.6.2009, p. 10) and Regulation (EU) 2018/409 (OJ L 76, 19.3.2018, p. 1), any defaults are covered by this Fund within the limit of the amount available.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to:

—one annual payment to or, exceptionally, from the Fund to maintain its target amount of 9 % of the guaranteed operations,

—activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default.

Technical notes on tables

Exchange rate: the amounts in column 2 ‘Equivalent at date of disbursement’ are converted at the rate applicable on the date of signature. As regards refinancing operations, Table 1 shows both the initial operation (e.g. in 1979) and the replacement operation (e.g. in 1986), the amount for the latter being converted at the rate of the initial operation. The resulting duplication affects the annual figures but is eliminated in the total.

All other amounts are converted at the rate applicable at 31 December 2017.

Column 3 ‘Initial amount paid up to 31 December 2017’: with reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts received up to 31 December 2016 under loans signed in 1986 (Table 1), including refinancing (which produces some duplication).

Column 4 ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 2017’: these are net figures, with no duplication as a result of refinancing operations. They are obtained by subtracting from the column 3 figure the cumulative total of repayments made up to 31 December 2016, including repayments in respect of refinancing operations (total not given in the tables).

Column 7 = column 4 – column 5.

MFA 2011: following the loan agreement signed by Montenegro on 9 February 2010 pursuant to Council Decision 2008/784/EC of 2 October 2008 establishing a separate liability of Montenegro, and reducing proportionally the liability of Serbia with regard to the long-term loans granted by the Community to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) pursuant to Decisions 2001/549/EC and 2002/882/EC (OJ L 269, 10.10.2008, p. 8), the loans initially granted to Serbia and Montenegro in 2001, 2003 and 2005 have been re-initiated with a virtual starting date in 2011 in order to implement the splitting of the countries.

150 000150 00094 646,58

Remarks

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 the Union 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.
