REGULATION (EU) 2019/491 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 25 March 2019
in order to allow for the continuation of the territorial cooperation programmes PEACE IV (Ireland-United Kingdom) and United Kingdom-Ireland (Ireland-Northern Ireland-Scotland) in the context of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular, Article 178 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). The Treaties will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date of entry into force of a withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after that notification, namely from 30 March 2019, unless the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, unanimously decides to extend that period. |
(2) |
The withdrawal will occur during the programming period 2014-2020 in which the United Kingdom is participating in 15 cooperation programmes under the European territorial cooperation goal. Two of those programmes, namely PEACE IV (Ireland-United Kingdom) and United Kingdom-Ireland (Ireland-Northern Ireland-Scotland) (jointly referred to as the ‘cooperation programmes’), are programmes involving Northern Ireland and support peace and reconciliation and North-South cooperation under the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement (the ‘Good Friday Agreement’) that the Union intends to continue even if the United Kingdom withdraws from the Union without a withdrawal agreement having entered into force by the date the Treaties cease to apply to the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 50(3) TEU. Therefore, this Regulation should be limited to those cooperation programmes. |
(3) |
The cooperation programmes are in particular governed by Regulations (EU) No 1299/2013 (3), (EU) No 1303/2013 (4) and (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council. This Regulation should lay down provisions in order to allow, following the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the Union, for the continuation of the cooperation programmes in accordance with those Regulations. |
(4) |
As regards the cooperation programmes, the managing authority is located in the Special EU Programmes Body (‘SEUPB’) set up under the Agreement between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland establishing Implementation Bodies signed on 8 March 1999. As the cooperation programmes involve Northern Ireland, they should continue with the necessary complementing provisions. |
(5) |
For the purposes of the continuation of the cooperation programmes, it should be clarified that, without prejudice to Article 20(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) No 1299/2013, they may cover the participating regions in the United Kingdom, which should be equivalent to NUTS level 3 regions. |
(6) |
For the purposes of the continuation of the cooperation programmes with financing from the Union general budget, an administrative agreement should be concluded between the Commission and the authorities of the United Kingdom with effect as from the date on which the Treaties cease to apply to the United Kingdom to allow for the necessary controls and audits of the cooperation programmes. If such... |
