COUNCIL REGULATION (EU, Euratom) 2019/1197

of 9 July 2019

on measures concerning the implementation and financing of the general budget of the Union in 2019 in relation to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 352 thereof,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 203 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 consent of the European Parliament (1),

Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,

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 the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after that notification, that is from 30 March 2019, unless the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, unanimously decides to extend that period. In the absence of a withdrawal agreement with the United Kingdom and of an extension of the two-year period referred to in Article 50(3) TEU a financial settlement with regard to the financial obligations following from the United Kingdom's membership in the Union needs to be agreed in a future international agreement between the United Kingdom and the Union.

 

(2)

This Regulation is without prejudice to the respective obligations of the Union and the United Kingdom resulting from the whole period of the United Kingdom's membership in the Union.

 

(3)

It is therefore necessary to lay down rules on the relations between the Union, on the one hand, and the United Kingdom and its beneficiaries, on the other, as regards the financing and implementation of the general budget of the Union (‘the budget’) in 2019.

 

(4)

The Treaties do not provide powers other than those under Article 352 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and Article 203 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community for the adoption of the measures concerning the implementation and financing of the budget in 2019 in relation to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union.

 

(5)

The United Kingdom and persons and entities established in United Kingdom are participating in a number of Union programmes or actions on the basis of the United Kingdom's membership in the Union. The participation takes place on the basis of agreements with the United Kingdom or persons or entities established in the United Kingdom or decisions in favour of the United Kingdom or persons or entities established in the United Kingdom which constitute legal commitments.

 

(6)

For many of those agreements and decisions, the rules governing the eligibility require the beneficiary to be a Member State or a person or entity established in a Member State. The eligibility of the United Kingdom or persons or entities established in the United Kingdom is in such cases linked to the United Kingdom being a Member State. The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union therefore entails the loss of eligibility of such recipients of Union financing under the agreements and decisions. However, this does not concern cases where persons or entities established in the United Kingdom would participate in an action under, and subject to the conditions applicable under, the respective Union rules for persons and entities established in a third country.
