Please note

This page contains a limited version of this dossier in the EU Monitor.

Agreement of 16 December 2020 as regards the incorporation of financial provisions in legislative acts.

Concerning sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6, information on the general objectives can be found in the relevant legislative proposals of the programmes:

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a Programme for the Union's action in the field of health (COM/2020/405 final). The EU4Health Programme contributes to the following main objectives:

a) improving and fostering health in the Union to reduce the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, by supporting health promotion and disease prevention, by reducing health inequalities, by fostering healthy lifestyles and by promoting access to healthcare;

b) protecting people in the Union from serious cross-border threats to health and strengthening the responsiveness of health systems and coordination among the Member States in order to cope with serious cross-border threats to health;

(c) improving the availability, accessibility and affordability of medicinal products and medical devices, and crisis-relevant products in the Union, and supporting innovation regarding such products;

(d) strengthening health systems by improving their resilience and resource efficiency.

Proposal for a Regulation laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum and Migration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument (COM/2018/375 final). This proposal includes specific allocations for the European Urban Initiative, the Interregional Innovation Investments, ESF+ Transnational Cooperation and a ceiling for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission.

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the public sector loan facility under the Just Transition Mechanism (COM(2020) 453 final). The public sector loan facility established under this proposal constitutes the third pillar of the Just Transition Mechanism. It will support public investments, through preferential lending conditions. These investments will benefit the territories most negatively affected by the climate transition as identified in the territorial just transition plans for the purposes of the Just Transition Fund.

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the Brexit Adjustment Reserve (COM(2020) 854 final). The Reserve established under this Regulation will provide support to Member States, regions and sectors, in particular those that are worst affected by the adverse consequences of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, mitigating thus its impact on the economic, social and territorial cohesion. The Reserve will provide financial contributions to cover all or part of the additional public expenditure incurred by Member States, especially those relying most heavily on trade and economic relations with the United Kingdom, for measures directly linked to the withdrawal.

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (COM/2018/390 final). The purpose of this proposal is the establishment of the EMFAF for the 2021-2027 period. That fund aims to target funding from the Union budget to support the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), the Union's maritime policy and the Union's international commitments in the field of ocean governance. EMFAF is a key enabler for sustainable fisheries and the conservation of marine biological resources, for food security through the supply of seafood products, for the growth of a sustainable blue economy and for healthy, safe, secure, clean and sustainably managed seas and oceans.

1.4.2. Specific objective(s)


1.4.3. Expected result(s) and impact

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.

The consequences on the measures implemented under the programme will be assessed during the preparation of the annual work programme.

- The proposal for amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1229 will reduce the total amount of the grant component of the public sector loan facility to be financed from the Union budget for the 2021-2027 MFF period by EUR 150 000 000 in current prices.

- The proposal for amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 will reduce the allocation for the European Urban Initiative by EUR 55 million in current prices, for the Interregional Innovation Investments by EUR 75 million in current prices, for ESF+ Transnational Cooperation by EUR 65 million in current prices and for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission by EUR 210 million in current prices.

- The proposal for amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1755 will reduce the remaining provisional allocation of the BAR that becomes available in 2025 by EUR 584 264 090 in current prices.

- The proposal for the amendment to Article 7 (1) of the Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 will reduce the allocation for the EMFAF implemented under direct and indirect management by EUR 105 000 000 in current prices for the period 2025-2027.

3.2.3. Summary of estimated impact on administrative appropriations

The Mid-Term Review of the MFF included reductions of certain budgetary envelopes, as presented in this act, but also significant increases on others. The net effect of these amendments will have no impact on the administrative costs and resources of the Commission. In this context, the Commission will continue to seek an effective and efficient use of its human resources, taking account of the principle of stable staffing, by constantly assessing internal redeployment opportunities.
