This appropriation is intended to cover the ﬁnancing of measures decided upon in accordance with the abovementioned Regulations, in particular in application of Articles 7 and 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88, and the payment of previous commitments under this article. A sum of ECU 200 000 is earmarked for the expenditure involved in setting up, maintaining and developing the common informatics architecture (Arinco), including connections with the national and regional government departments responsible for coordinating measures over a given territory. Article 130r of the Treaty establishing the European Community stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be integrated into the deﬁnition and implementation of other Community policies. Consequently, appropriations for the Structural Funds cannot be implemented unless the measures ﬁnanced by these Funds comply with the provisions of the Treaties and the acts adopted pursuant thereto, in particular those concerning environmental protection, as stipulated in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88. They should be accompanied by an environmental impact commentary according to the principles of the Commission’s letter of intent of 8 December 1995. This appropriation also covers the ﬁnancing of studies, analyses, organizational measures, meetings to disseminate information and exchange experiences and the examination of the best forms and methods of implementation, monitoring and control of the environmental aspects of the abovementioned budget headings by the Commission and the Member States and is intended to guarantee, by means of the application of the principle of sustainable development, the inclusion of environmental protection in all Community policies in order to ensure that the environmental impact of Community measures is taken into account before any appropriations are paid. To accompany all projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r of the Treaty and an environmental compliance clause for projects involving more than ECU 50 000 000. The Commission must set up a Task Force for Green Technology with responsibility for establishing a European environment network in close collaboration with national administrations. The list of projects which have been veriﬁed must be forwarded to the budgetary authority and published in the Offıcial Journal of the European Communities. Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/93, measures ﬁnanced by the Structural Funds shall be in line with Community policy on the application of the principle of equal opportunities for men and women. This appropriation furthermore covers funding for measures carried out by associations promoted by local bodies whose purpose is to combat sectoral industrial crises or to diversify economic activities in areas heavily dependent on a single economic activity (such as ACTE and Recevin).

The social and economic importance of small-scale coastal ﬁshing for the Community’s disadvantaged island and coastal regions justiﬁes this initiative in the context of structural operations for this sector under the common ﬁsheries policy, in accordance with the European Parliament resolution of 20 January 1989. This appropriation is intended to ﬁnance pilot projects to guarantee the survival of the small-scale ﬁshing industry. Before the end of the second year following the launch of this measure, the Commission should assess the advisability of submitting a proposal for a legal basis. This appropriation also covers the funding of actions aimed at setting up regional and national forums or associations whose economic basis is the ﬁsheries sector, especially small-scale coastal ﬁshing. These associations shall be national in scope, based on the pooling of experience, and shall become discussion forums for the problems of small-scale coastal ﬁshing and Community policy for the sector. Funding shall be targeted on information and awareness-raising initiatives and on local promotion and development projects, with the aim of preserving small-scale coastal ﬁsheries and traditional ﬁsheries, and passive gear and the regional cultural values associated with this type of ﬁsheries, as well as the development and integration of the commercial and industrial sectors. Projects may be submitted by regional bodies, non-governmental organizations and ﬁshermen’s associations.

This appropriation is also intended to fund a prize (to be presented and awarded in the European city of culture) which will enable the successful work to be distributed and promoted throughout the European Union. Organizations, foundations or musical groups whose projects beneﬁt from this appropriation must have members from at least four Member States. 2. Support for European umbrella organizations in the ﬁeld of art, culture and heritage, with a minimum amount of ECU 150 000 being allocated to each of these organizations: ECU 800 000.

Cooperation measures with international organizations, in particular the Council of Europe and Unesco, and non-associated third countries: ECU 600 000. For the sake of transparency, sound management and budgetary control, the ﬁrst three categories will be subject to a call for proposals procedure to be launched promptly, and a report on this will be submitted to the European Parliament before the end of February 1998. In the selection of projects and organizations, the European dimension will be of paramount importance. Except for the European umbrella organizations, funding is reserved for speciﬁc projects and not for administrative or operational expenditure. 70 % of the appropriations are to be paid within three months of approval. No amount allocated will be under ECU 50 000. All projects beneﬁting from appropriations under this item will be required to show clearly on all information and literature that they have received ﬁnancial support from the European Union.

This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of general information and permanent communication measures concerning the European Union implemented jointly by the European institutions and designed to provide European citizens with information about Europe. The European Union’s information and communication policy must take duly into account the differing views and philosophies with regard to the European integration process. These multi-faceted information and discussion measures include opinion-polling, impact assessment, visits, publications, audiovisual productions, documentary and computerized information activities and Europe-wide operations directed at speciﬁc target audiences such as young people or women, decentralized operations to meet the speciﬁc needs of given countries or regions and representational duties in political circles. A minimum amount of 30 % of the appropriation entered against this article is intended for coordinating the information activities implemented by the European Union at an interinstitutional level, in order to set up a European Information System with a view to better value for money and communication with citizens according to guidelines to be drawn up in the framework of an interinstitutional dialogue at the highest level of the European Parliament and the Commission. A maximum amount of ECU 2 000 000 is intended to pay for television information broadcasts on the European Union and its institutions provided by Euronews on the basis of an information contract. These measures will be aimed at public opinion in general, opinion-leaders and speciﬁc target groups (including women and young people) in order to foster a better understanding of the objectives and reality of European integration and the methods used to achieve it, in a context of dialogue between the institutions, ﬁrms and citizens. The Commission will be assisted by an advisory working party comprising representatives of the European Parliament and the Commission — the Working Party on Ongoing Information Activities — chaired by the Commission. The Commission will submit to the working party for its opinion the annual ongoing information work programme. A maximum amount of ECU 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences and congresses, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, excluding expenditure concerning the management of these measures or general administration (see the Commission communication of 22 April 1992). 798 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Subsection B3 (Training, youth, culture, audiovisual media, information and other social operations) CHAPTER B3-3 0 — INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION (cont’d) B3-3 0 0 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Commitments 1997 1998 1999 2000 Subsequent years Payments Pre-1997 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again from and/or carried over 1996 Appropriation for 1997 Appropriation for 1998 27 290 000 20 850 000 5 000 000 1 440 000 44 550 000 (1) 40 650 000 (2) 22 000 000 14 650 000 6 000 000 1 900 000 16 000 000 12 000 000 10 000 000 2 650 000 Total 112 490 000 42 850 000 (3) 35 650 000 (4) 19 440 000 11 900 000 2 650 000 (1) Of which ECU 11 000 000 is entered in Chapter B0-4 0.

This will involve greater efforts to respond, inform and communicate and to promote the image of the Community in the eyes of a number of strategic target audiences and opinion leaders — in particular women and young people — using the same instruments and techniques as within the Community. Measures to promote the Community shall be targeted, inter alia, at universities and schools, chambers of commerce and industry, trade unions and professional and trade bodies of states associated with the European Union.

These measures must be regarded not as propaganda but as an effective channel for communication and dialogue between European Union citizens and the Community institutions. Part of this appropriation must be earmarked for the establishment of such dialogue. These priority measures must take account of speciﬁc national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities, and target strategic audiences, such as women and young people. This appropriation is also intended to pay for television information broadcasts on these priority information measures provided by Euronews on the basis of an information contract for a value of ECU 1 250 000. The ‘Euro’ campaign will speciﬁcally include, following the Treaty of Amsterdam, a heavy emphasis on employment and its relation to the single currency. The ‘Building Europe Together’ campaign will give information on the modiﬁcations brought about by the Treaty of Amsterdam and on the reaction of the European Parliament to this Treaty, but will concentrate on the themes which European citizens, according to the polls, are most interested in and concerned with, such as consumer and environmental issues, at the same time emphasizing the importance of the cultural dimension to the European integration project. The Commission will be assisted by an advisory working party comprising representatives of the European Parliament and the Commission — the Working Party on Priority Information Measures — chaired by the Commission. The Commission will submit to the working party for its opinion the annual programme of priority information measures. 802 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Subsection B3 (Training, youth, culture, audiovisual media, information and other social operations) CHAPTER B3-3 0 — INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION (cont’d) B3-3 0 6 (cont’d) These priority measures will encompass publications, conferences, seminars and congresses, audiovisual and promotional material (including material produced by Euronews), pilot schemes, support for speciﬁc outlets and networks in the areas concerned and the organization of training for specialists and opinion-leaders.

The aim of the Thermie II programme is not only to contribute to the achievement of the energy objectives, but also to implement other improvement of the competitiveness of European industry, major Community priorities: completion of the internal market, improvement of living conditions in rural and urban regions, strengthening of economic and social cohesion and cooperation with third countries. This programme provides for the promotion of energy technologies in Europe by demonstrating their economic viability, promotion of the results of similar projects ﬁnanced through Member States’ programmes or by industry, and assistance for the penetration of markets in third countries through industrial cooperation (all these activities form part of the current Thermie II programme (1995 to 1998) but not of the fourth RTD framework programme). The programme concerns the rational use of energy, renewable energy sources and fossil fuels, and ensures the promotion of technology by means of demonstration and dissemination measures geared to a particular end use in industry, the energy industry, the tertiary sector and rural energy systems. This measure should allow the funding of: — up to 35 % of the eligible cost of demonstration projects, — measures to promote energy technologies, including dissemination of the results of demonstration projects, — transfer of energy technologies and industrial cooperation with third countries, — general support measures, including the assessment of projects and the programme.

Proposal for a Council Decision, submitted by the Commission on 10 April 1996, on the provision of loan guarantees for investments carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises creating employment (COM(96) 155). This article is intended to give SMEs improved access, at lower cost, to loans for ﬁnancing job-creating investment. Firstly, it covers interest-rate subsidies (two percentage points per year, for a maximum period of ﬁve years and a maximum principal of ECU 1 000 000 000) granted by the EIB to SMEs (including cooperatives) in line with the arrangements applicable to loans granted under the temporary mechanism adopted by the Edinburgh and Copenhagen European Councils.

It will be used to cover all or part of the cost of obtaining loan guarantees, notably from the EIF. As the latter works on a commercial basis, it charges a guarantee premium for its activities. The European Union budget will cover all or part of the cost of the premium. The beneﬁt of this measure will be limited to small enterprises, preferably employing around 50 persons or less working full time, or the equivalent in the case of part-time work, and engaged in productive activities (craftworkers, small industry, catering industry, including the service sector). The action will take the form of an exploratory/pilot project and will be followed by an overall evaluation of its impact with particular reference to all initiatives to support environmental technologies in the European Union.

Council Regulation (EC) No 2236/95 of 18 September 1995 laying down general rules for the granting of Community ﬁnancial aid in the ﬁeld of trans-European networks (OJ L 228, 23. 9. 1995, p. 1). European Parliament Decision of 13 December 1995 on the Common Position established by the Council with a view to the adoption of a European Parliament and Council Decision on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (OJ C 17, 22. 1. 1996, p. 58). Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network (OJ L 228, 9. 9. 1996, p. 1). The Community measure is intended to promote the interconnection and interoperability of national networks as well as access to these networks, taking into account the need to link island, landlocked and peripheral regions of the Community with its central regions. The establishment of a trans-European transport network is thus a contribution to the effective and harmonious operation of the internal market and to improving economic and social cohesion. To achieve these objectives, the Community is establishing guidelines (network plans) identifying projects of common interest, with each Member State approving the network plans and projects of common interest that concern its own territory. Community ﬁnancial assistance will principally support the deﬁnition and launching of projects of common interest by promoting feasibility studies for such projects and/or, where appropriate, at the implementation stage by means of interest rate subsidies, contributions to the cost of loan guarantees, or a direct subsidy. This appropriation is also intended to ﬁnance measures to encourage and facilitate public/private partnerships. The use of the appropriations will be geared to a sustainable transport policy, encouraging those modes which are most environment-friendly and making the best possible use of existing infrastructures, in particular through intermodal and modal traffic management projects. The appropriations under this article must be utilized to ensure that investment is structured as follows: — railways (including combined transport): minimum 55 %, — roads: maximum 25 %, — traffic management: maximum 15 %.

European Parliament resolution of 28 March 1996 on the guidelines for the 1997 budget procedure — Section III — Commission (OJ C 117, 22. 4. 1996, p. 64). The general objectives of the measures are as follows: — to encourage research and technological development activities in the ﬁeld of clean and efficient energy technologies as a contribution to the security of energy supplies and to sustainable development, — to speed up the development and dissemination of technologies which are almost mature but of which the technical and economic viability still remains largely to be demonstrated, — to encourage partnerships between universities, industry, users and operators of energy networks, — to contribute towards economic and social cohesion by developing appropriate energy sources suitable for decentralized use and harnessing local resources. The programme covers research, technological development and demonstration activities in the following ﬁelds: — rational use of energy in buildings, industry, the energy industry (including the electricity and heat sectors), transport and urban infrastructure, — renewable energy sources, particularly solar, biomass, geothermal, small-scale hydroelectric, wind and other sources, — fossil fuels: — clean technologies for solid fossil fuels, — generic combustion, — hydrocarbons and new fuels in transport, — exploration and production of hydrocarbons, and activities in support of deﬁnition and implementation of energy RTD strategies and dissemination. The programme will be implemented by means of shared-cost activities, concerted action, speciﬁc measures, preparatory, accompanying and support measures and schemes for dissemination and utilization of the results, as provided for in Annex III to the Decision adopting the programme. The rate of European Union ﬁnancial aid paid for the shared-cost activities will depend on the nature of the project, particularly the economic and technical risks, the ﬁeld concerned and how close the activity is to the market. In absolute terms, the projects will be on a scale allowing substantial innovation and signiﬁcant technological breakthroughs in the spirit of concentration of effort. Where appropriate, projects can be combined to ensure greater synergy of resources and results. Special consideration will also be given to integrated projects treating social, economic or purely technical problems with a multidisciplinary approach and/or concerning problems taking account of the chain from research to demonstration and deployment on the market. Integrated projects will be carried out in such ﬁelds as integrated applications of renewable energy sources, combustion and urban transport. These projects will be backed up by concerted action in speciﬁc ﬁelds where simple coordination at Community level of the efforts of the Member States and of the relevant industries would make them more effective. A special procedure for SMEs will be introduced to encourage them to participate in the programme (technology stimulation). When allocating funds to speciﬁc items the Commission will take into account the results of the codecision procedure between the Council and the European Parliament on the second revision of the fourth research and technological development framework programme. The amount available for administrative and staff expenditure is limited to ECU 10 825 000. This appropriation is intended to cover staff expenditure in respect of 79 staff (40 A, 17 B and 22 C).

Council Decision 94/268/Euratom of 26 April 1994 concerning a framework programme of Community activities in the ﬁeld of research and training for the European Atomic Energy Community (1994 to 1998) (OJ L 115, 6. 5. 1994, p. 31. ) Council Decision 96/253/Euratom of 4 March 1996 adapting Council Decision 94/268/Euratom concerning a framework programme of Community activities in the ﬁeld of research and training for the European Atomic Energy Community (1994 to 1998), following the accession of the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Finland and the Kingdom of Sweden to the European Union (OJ L 86, 4. 4. 1996, p. 72). The appropriations entered in the articles or items of this title are essentially intended to cover expenditure on contracts for the implementation of the programmes in question, in particular research contracts, contracts of association, study contracts, contracts for integrated projects, speciﬁc assessments (proposals, projects), monitoring and evaluation of the speciﬁc programmes and the framework programme, contracts for coordination, indicators and cooperation, and contracts covering grants, subsidies, the training and mobility of scientists, participation in international agreements, and the provision of facilities and equipment. They also cover expenditure on staff whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure and operations linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and measures necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community’s RTD strategy. Research staff expenditure is covered by the headings of Title B6-8 in accordance with and in compliance with Articles 19 and 93 of the Financial Regulation. Also entered against these items or articles are the costs of high-level scientiﬁc and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest and the funding of high-level scientiﬁc and technological analyses and evaluations carried out to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action. These appropriations also cover the costs of the general measures to increase the synergies between the action taken under the Structural Funds and the RTD activities, as indicated in the Commission communication of 12 May 1993 (COM(93) 203 ﬁnal). These measures include promotion and implementation of the RTD programmes in the operational programmes under the Structural Funds in the Objectives 1, 2, 5b and 6 regions (1994 to 1999); the provision of scientiﬁc and technological expertise to bolster the research and technological development capacity of the less-favoured regions (SME initiative); assistance for speciﬁc sectors, such as rural development and small businesses, in deﬁning scientiﬁc and technological guidelines and, ﬁnally, examination of the measures to be taken, with the aid of studies, workshops and seminars. Also entered against these items or articles are the costs of the action taken by the Commission to promote coordination of the research and technological development activities in order to keep the national policies and Community policy consistent. This action will entail concertation between the Member States and the national and European scientiﬁc bodies on the policies and measures taken at national (and, in particular, sectoral) level. They will be based on fuller information on the scientiﬁc and technological potential of the Member States and on the programmes implemented and will aim at gradual harmonization of the measures taken by the Member States to create favourable conditions for the development of scientiﬁc and technological research. The illustrative breakdown of appropriations by type of expenditure is derived from the table of equivalence set out in Annex I to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section (booking codes 1 to 6). The possibility of European third countries or organizations in third countries taking part in European cooperation in the ﬁeld of scientiﬁc and technical research (in particular COST) is envisaged in the case of some of these projects.

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of the measures that are essential for implementing food aid within the requisite time-scale 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. Such measures concern inter alia: — transport and distribution of aid, including any related operations such as insurance, loading, unloading, coordination, etc. , not included in transport contracts but stemming from them, — back-up measures that are essential for the programming, coordination and optimum implementation of the aid, the cost of which is not covered by other appropriations, e. g. exceptional transport and storage operations, processing or preparation of foodstuffs on the spot, disinfection, consultants’ services, technical assistance and equipment directly involved in providing the aid (tools, utensils, fuel, etc. ), — supervision and coordination of food-aid operations, notably the terms for the supply, delivery, distribution and use of the products involved, including the use of counterpart funds, — pilot schemes concerning new forms of transport, packaging or storage, studies of food-aid operations and campaigns to increase public awareness, — storage of food (including administrative costs, future operations, with or without options, training of technicians, purchase of packaging and mobile storage units, cost of maintaining and repairing stores, etc. ). ECU 18 000 000 is programmed for measures and operations to supervise and implement the European Union’s food-aid programme.

The Cannes European Council of 26 and 27 June 1995 reached an agreement on the amount and on the ﬁnancing arrangements for the eighth European Development Fund (EDF) under which an increase is provided for in emergency humanitarian aid to the African, Caribbean and Paciﬁc States of ECU 160 000 000 from the general budget. The Community declaration on Article 2 (d) of the Second Financial Protocol to the fourth Lomé Convention stipulates, moreover, that the speciﬁc resources provided for in that Protocol for emergency assistance may be supplemented, for the duration of the Protocol, by an additional amount of ECU 160 000 000 from the Community budget. If the need arises, therefore, part of that aid may be covered by appropriations entered in this article. This appropriation is also intended to cover the ﬁnancing of assistance, relief, protection and emergency food-aid operations to help people in the developing countries, the ACP countries and other third countries hit by natural disasters, man-made crises (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. The aid is granted to victims without discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, religion, sex, age, nationality or political affiliation. Also charged to this article are the purchase and delivery of any product or equipment needed for the implementation of such operations, including the building of homes or shelters for affected groups of people, short-term rehabilitation and reconstruction work, notably 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 also covers: — feasibility studies into humanitarian operations and the evaluation of humanitarian-aid projects and plans, 1086 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-2 1 — HUMANITARIAN AID (cont’d) B7-2 1 0 (cont’d) — monitoring of humanitarian-aid projects and plans, — supervision and coordination of the implementation of aid operations forming part of the aid concerned, — measures to strengthen Community coordination with the Member States, other donor countries, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and organizations representing the latter, — public awareness and information campaigns, — the technical assistance necessary for the preparation and implementation of humanitarian projects, — the ﬁnancing of technical assistance contracts to facilitate the exchange of technical know-how and expertise between European humanitarian organizations and agencies or between such bodies and those of non-member countries. This appropriation also covers the ﬁnancing of the costs arising from such operations and other measures to publicize the Community nature of the aid. A maximum amount of ECU 2 800 000 may cover expenditure on studies, training, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part; this excludes expenditure involved in the management of these measures or in general administration (see the Commission communication SEC(92) 769 ﬁnal of 22 April 1992).

Also charged to this article, provided this is stipulated in the ﬁnancial memorandums or equivalent documents, are contracts concluded by the Commission for the duration of programmes in order to supply technical support and cover relevant administrative expenditure for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and the recipient countries. The contracts are concluded for a period of one year (renewable) with experts responsible for preparing the terms of reference of the projects, evaluating tenders, and undertaking monitoring and audit activities. Upon submission of a reasoned request by each arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must supply all relevant information, including the outcome of the work of the experts, relating to the implementation of the programmes. The appropriations committed under this heading may not exceed 3 % of the appropriations authorized for the MEDA programme, for appropriations entered in this article. This appropriation will also ﬁnance pilot actions to promote environmentally and socially sound business practice, including the transfer of technical knowledge on best practice in clean technologies and economic incentives. It also covers systematic monitoring and evaluation to assess the environmental impact of the development schemes funded by this article and the publication of an annual assessment report.

Each quarter, the Commission will provide a report to the budgetary authority on the implementation of the programme, presenting an analysis of the allocation of the commitment and payment appropriations, by country and by sector of activity. With regard to the MEDA programmes for Turkey, and in accordance with the agreement between the Commission and the European Parliament, the Commission shall comply with the letter and spirit of the European Parliament’s resolution of 19 September 1996 on the political situation in Turkey in all its actions under this programme.

The appropriations are entered into the reserve (Chapter B0-4 0) pending a Commission evaluation report on the implementation of this programme, with recommendations on how to increase its effectiveness, impact and overall relevance. This report shall include the breakdown by country and sector of the projects ﬁnanced by the European Union since 1996 and their situation in ﬁnancial terms. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1115 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-4 1 — MEDA (MEASURES TO ACCOMPANY THE REFORMS TO THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES) (cont’d) B7-4 1 0 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Payments 1997 1998 1999 2000 Subsequent years 485 122 000 110 000 000 100 000 000 100 000 000 100 000 000 75 122 000 Commitments Pre-1997 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again and/or carried over from 1996 Appropriation for 1997 836 700 000 204 700 000 150 000 000 150 000 000 150 000 000 182 000 000 Appropriation for 1998 942 500 000 (1) 65 000 000 150 000 000 150 000 000 537 500 000 Total 2 264 322 000 314 700 000 315 000 000 (2) 400 000 000 400 000 000 834 622 000 (1) Of which ECU 94 000 000 is entered in Chapter B0-4 0.

The operations are intended to help the Palestinian population of the Territories, the central aim being the Territories’ social and economic development, notably in respect of production (agriculture, ﬁsheries and industry), urban and rural development, health, water supply, the environment, training and education and the establishment of Palestinian institutions. Also charged to this article is the technical assistance required for undertaking the aid programmes and the cost of monitoring and evaluating projects. This appropriation also covers preparatory operations, again in the context of the peace process, concerning regional cooperation between Israel and its neighbours, notably with regard to institutions, economic matters, water, the environment and energy. Also charged to this article is the ﬁnancing of activities designed to create a public opinion favourable to the peace process, in both camps, in particular: — activities common to young Israelis and Palestinians, — clear information in both languages, — information activity and Israeli-Palestinian cooperation. 1116 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-4 2 — SUPPORT PROGRAMME FOR THE MIDDLE EAST (cont’d) B7-4 2 0 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Payments 1997 1998 1999 2000 Subsequent years 74 827 000 20 000 000 15 000 000 15 000 000 15 000 000 9 827 000 Commitments Pre-1997 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again from and/or carried over 1996 Appropriation for 1997 50 000 000 30 000 000 5 000 000 Appropriation for 1998 50 000 000 30 000 000 5 000 000 8 000 000 5 000 000 8 000 000 5 000 000 4 000 000 Total 174 827 000 50 000 000 50 000 000 28 000 000 28 000 000 18 827 000 B7-4 2 1 Aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East Appropriations 1998 Appropriations 1997 Outturn 1996 Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments 36 500 000 36 500 000 32 000 000 32 000 000 34 100 000,— 34 100 000,— Remarks Council Decision 96/626/EC of 7 October 1996 on the conclusion of the Convention between the European Community and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) concerning aid to refugees in the countries of the Near East (OJ L 282, 1. 11. 1996, p. 68).

During the period 1990 to 1994, this appropriation was intended to assist the countries of central and eastern Europe in their transition to a market economy and democracy. Following the Essen European Council, the role of the Phare programme has gradually evolved into that of an instrument of support to the applicant countries in their bid for accession. In implementing the Phare programme, therefore, the Commission must ensure that the beneﬁciaries of these measures respect European social policy and the fundamental social rights enshrined in the Social Charter on the basis of the acquis communautaire. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1123 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-5 0 — COOPERATION WITH COUNTRIES OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE (cont’d) B7-5 0 0 (cont’d) With a view to stepping up the pre-accession strategy as a whole, subject to the formal adoption of Phare guidelines in accordance with the legislation in force, Phare operations are to be geared to two main priorities: — institution building, so as to develop an effective capacity to implement the acquis communautaire, in particular by means of: — the approximation of legislation, — promoting consumer organizations, — structural reforms and regional policies, — promoting democracy and civil society and active cooperation in the ﬁelds of justice and home affairs, — opening up Community programmes (see Article B7-5 0 3), — investment ﬁnancing, notably in order to help the candidate states comply with Community legislative standards. Three types of operation are planned: — contributions to a national fund to promote investments involving the acquis communautaire, — co-ﬁnancing of major infrastructure projects involving notably the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank and, in the framework of the trans-European networks, the restructuring and modernization of industry, energy, telecommunications, the environment and inter-regional cooperation projects, — a horizontal facility for SMEs. Approximately 30 % of the Phare budget is thus earmarked for the ﬁrst priority, institution building, and some 70 % for infrastructure ﬁnancing. These ﬁgures are for indicative purposes only and may vary according to the particular circumstances of the beneﬁciary state concerned, in particular as regards its requirements and absorption capacity. In line with the policy of integrating the dimension of equal opportunities between women and men into all Community activities (‘mainstreaming’), this appropriation will ensure equal participation of women in all programmes and develop indicators to ascertain women’s level of involvement in projects. The Commission will provide a breakdown four times a year by country and by sector of commitments and payments made. A maximum amount of ECU 12 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, conferences, congresses, information and publications directly linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part. Also charged to this article, provided this is stipulated in the ﬁnancial memorandums or equivalent documents, are contracts concluded by the Commission for the duration of programmes in order to supply technical support and cover relevant administrative expenditure for the mutual beneﬁt of the Commission and the recipient countries. The contracts are concluded for a period of one year (renewable) with experts responsible for preparing the terms of reference of the projects, evaluating tenders, and undertaking monitoring and audit activities. Upon submission of a reasoned request by each arm of the budgetary authority, the Commission must supply all relevant information, including the outcome of the work of the experts, relating to the implementation of the programmes. The appropriations committed under this heading may not exceed 2 % of the appropriations authorized for the Phare programme, for appropriations entered in this article.

New Transatlantic Agenda of 1995 signed by the Council on 3 December 1995 and Joint EC-USA Action Plan. This appropriation is intended to improve mutual understanding between key actors on each side of the Atlantic by creating an overarching framework for the ‘People to People Links’ and ‘Information and Culture’ exchanges envisaged by the Joint Action Plan of the New Transatlantic Agenda. This is to be achieved through ﬁnancing pilot projects and preparatory actions between actors and organizations in both the European Union and the United States of America. Such projects and actions shall include pilot actions to stimulate the dialogue between the social and business partners on each side of the Atlantic. Each action or project must include participants from both sides of the Atlantic, and may encourage the establishment of networks. The initiative as a whole shall be funded in part through public, private, business and charitable organizations from the United States of America, as well as from this funding in the European Union’s budget. The contribution from the European Union’s 1998 budget will be limited to ECU 6 000 000, in accordance with the following breakdown of activities: 1.

Visitors would be resident at host institutions for relatively short periods (one week to approximately one month) to increase the number of participants involved. Research grants for faculty and students would support both short and long-term projects. The European Community Studies Association (ECSA) of the United States of America, an organization of 900 individuals and 50 institutions dedicated to the study of the European Union, should be given responsibility for coordinating and administering this programme. — Electronic resources and long-distance learning — A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-USA digital library collection, accessible on the Internet, featuring material of interest to researchers and the general public in Europe and the United States of America. The project is designed to promote ongoing cooperation between national libraries, other research libraries, and research and education communities. 2. People to People — Transatlantic labour dialogue (300 000) 900 000 — Transatlantic small and medium-sized enterprise initiative (300 000) — Transatlantic business dialogue (300 000) This section is designed to give assistance to distinct, broadly based communities which intend to formulate speciﬁc recommendations for joint action to the European Union and the United States of America administrations, focused on the European side of the dialogue. 3. Transatlantic Houses The 1995 EU/US summit in Berlin called for joint actions to foster political and social development in central and eastern European countries. Implementation of this commitment would be through the progressive joint creation of a ‘Transatlantic House’ in Ukraine, ﬁrst to serve as an information point on partners’ support programmes in those countries, and then extended to house jointly ﬁnanced democracy programmes. Matching funding would be required from the United States of America for such a scheme to operate. 2 500 000 4. Civil Society Actions One of the major goals of the New Transatlantic Agenda is the building of bridges across the Atlantic. A key proposal put forward has been to establish a coordinating mechanism to monitor and help implement identiﬁed initiatives aimed at promoting and developing civil society. This appropriation is intended to support activities speciﬁcally involving citizen-to-citizen links under the umbrella of the Transatlantic Civil Society Dialogue. Matching funding would be required from the United States of America. Furthermore, independent funders would be expected to supplement such funding. An annual evaluation report on these activities will be submitted by the Commission to the budgetary authority by 30 June of the following year. 500 000 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1165 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-6 6 — SPECIFIC MEASURES INVOLVING THIRD COUNTRIES (cont’d) B7-6 6 0 (cont’d) B7-6 6 0 2 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Commitments 1997 1998 1999 2000 Subsequent years Payments Pre-1997 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again and/or carried over from 1996 Appropriation for 1997 Appropriation for 1998 6 000 000 (1) Total 6 000 000 (1) Of which ECU 3 000 000 is entered in Chapter B0-4 0.

Also charged to this item is the ﬁnancing of speciﬁc measures to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, including two major conferences, one to evaluate the democratization programmes in many parts of the world, and the other to examine the prospects for human rights in the 21st century. The conferences will also address the situation of minorities and the question of minority rights. This appropriation is also intended to support other activities related to the 50th anniversary, particularly activities likely to contribute to better implementation of the Declaration. These could also include an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the European Parliament’s Sakharov prize for freedom of thought, a human rights poster competition and a schools essay or poetry competition. It would also support the provision to schools of new educational material on the European Union and human rights. Utilization of this item must take account of the speciﬁc requirements of the institutions and non-governmental organizations working in the human rights ﬁeld and of the administrative constraints peculiar to international organizations, particularly those linked to the United Nations system. It must, in particular, be possible for Community resources to be mobilized quickly when emergency operations are involved. The Commission may submit a proposal for additional transfers to this item in accordance with the political priorities and the amounts already used by non-governmental organizations, pursuant to Article 26 (7) of the Financial Regulation. To this end care must be taken to ensure that the funds for rehabilitation of the victims of torture are not in any way reduced, and that where ﬁnancial resources permit they should be increased to the maximum possible. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1179 COMMISSION Subsection B7 (External Actions) CHAPTER B7-7 0 — EUROPEAN INITIATIVE FOR DEMOCRACY AND THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS (cont’d) B7-7 0 4 (cont’d) B7-7 0 4 0 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Payments 1997 1998 1999 2000 Subsequent years 5 189 000 3 600 000 1 000 000 589 000 Commitments Pre-1997 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again and/or carried over from 1996 Appropriation for 1997 Appropriation for 1998 13 300 000 14 700 000 9 300 000 2 400 000 1 600 000 10 900 000 2 400 000 1 400 000 Total 33 189 000 12 900 000 14 300 000 4 589 000 1 400 000 B7-7 0 5 MEDA programme for democracy Appropriations 1998 Appropriations 1997 Outturn 1996 Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments 10 075 000 5 000 000 8 000 000 5 000 000 9 000 000,— 397 760,— Remarks European Parliament resolution of 11 October 1995 on the Mediterranean policy of the European Union with a view to the Barcelona Conference (OJ C 287, 30. 10. 1995, p. 121).

When the Commission sees a need to call on this reserve, it will convene a trialogue meeting as soon as possible with a view to securing the agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need for recourse to the reserve and on the sum required. The appropriations will be transferred to the budget headings concerned.

Council Decision 96/723/EC of 12 December 1996 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects of mutual interest in Latin American and Asian countries with which the Community has concluded cooperation agreements (OJ L 329, 19. 12. 1996, p. 45). Decision 96/723/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 18 March 1997 and in Luxembourg on 26 March 1997. Pursuant to Decisions 93/115/EEC and 96/723/EC, the European Union guarantees loans made by the European Investment Bank on a case-by-case basis in the countries of Asia and Latin America with which the Community has concluded cooperation agreements. Council Decision 97/256/EC of 14 April 1997 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects outside the Community (central and eastern Europe countries, Mediterranean countries, Latin American and Asian countries and South Africa) (OJ L 102, 19. 4. 1997, p. 33). This Decision was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the European Community and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU 900 000 000 is for 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. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically extended by six months. The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. This article constitutes the structure for the guarantee provided by the European 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 European Investment Bank. Any appropriations needed will be allocated to this article by transfer, by re-use of the repayments made in accordance with Article 27 (3) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12), or by supplementary and/or amending budget.

INTRODUCTION This Annex is drawn up in accordance with Article 20 (5) (c) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 356, 31. 12. 1977, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom, ECSC) No 2335/95 (OJ L 240, 7. 10. 1995, p. 12). It provides information about the amounts of the borrowing and lending operations guaranteed by the general budget: loans for balance of payments support, Euratom and NCI loans and European Investment Bank loans to Mediterranean Basin countries and, from 1991 onwards, borrowing operations to provide medium-term ﬁnancial assistance to non-member countries, European Investment Bank loans in the countries of central and eastern Europe, European Investment Bank loans for projects of mutual interest in certain third countries (developing countries in Asia and Latin America), European Investment Bank loans to South Africa, the credit guarantee contracted by the former Soviet Union with a pool of commercial banks to ﬁnance imports of agricultural products and foodstuffs from the European Union and, since March 1994, Euratom borrowings to contribute to the ﬁnancing required for improving the degree of efficiency and safety of nuclear power stations in certain non-member countries. The main development affecting the amounts of Community borrowings outstanding in 1996 was the decline in the European Union’s operations. This decline was due to the repayment of ECU 500 000 000 in balance-of-payments loans to Greece, ECU 500 000 000 in balance-of-payments loans to Italy, ECU 427 300 000 in NCI loans and ECU 152 500 000 in Euratom loans in the Member States and, elsewhere, to the repayment of a tranche of ECU 260 000 000 on a loan to Hungary and ECU 204 300 000 of the ECU 1 250 000 000 loan to the former Soviet Union and its republics. Loans were also disbursed to Bulgaria (ECU 40 000 000), Moldova (ECU 15 000 000), Ukraine (ECU 100 000 000), and the Republics of the former Soviet Union (ECU 700 000). At 31 December 1996, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled ECU 12 067 000 000; of this total ECU 5 564 000 000 was inside the European Union and ECU 6 503 000 000 outside. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1303 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) B. BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF BORROWING AND LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET I. SINGLE FACILITY PROVIDING MEDIUM-TERM FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBER STATES’BALANCES OF PAYMENTS 1. Legal basis Council Regulation (EEC) No 397/75 of 17 February 1975 concerning Community loans (OJ L 46, 20. 2. 1975, p. 1). Council Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 of 16 March 1981 adjusting the Community loan mechanism designed to support the balance of payments of Member States (OJ L 73, 19. 3. 1981, p. 1). Council Decision 83/298/EEC of 16 May 1983 concerning a Community loan in favour of the French Republic (OJ L 153, 11. 6. 1983, p. 44). Council Regulation (EEC) No 1131/85 of 30 April 1985 amending Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 adjusting the Community loan mechanism designed to support the balance of payments of Member States (OJ L 118, 1. 5. 1985, p. 59). Act of 12 June 1985 concerning the conditions of accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic and the adjustments of the Treaties (OJ L 302, 15. 11. 1985, p. 23), and in particular the declaration by the European Economic Community on the application of the Community loan mechanism in favour of Portugal contained in the Final Act. Council Decision 85/543/EEC of 9 December 1985 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Hellenic Republic (OJ L 341, 19. 12. 1985, p. 17). Council Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 of 24 June 1988 establishing a single facility providing medium-term ﬁnancial assistance for Member States’ balances of payments (OJ L 178, 8. 7. 1988, p. 1). Council Decision 91/136/EEC of 4 March 1991 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Hellenic Republic (OJ L 66, 13. 3. 1991, p. 22). Council Decision 93/67/EEC of 18 January 1993 concerning a Community loan in favour of the Italian Republic (OJ L 22, 30. 1. 1993, p. 121). 2. Description In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1969/88 the European Union may grant loans to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, difficulties with their balance of payments. The outstanding amount of such loans is limited to ECU 16 000 000 000 in principal. To this end, the Commission is empowered, on behalf of the European Community, to borrow on the capital markets or from ﬁnancial institutions. The budget guarantee covers these borrowing operations. The outstanding amount of loans granted under this facility is limited to ECU 14 000 000 000 in principal. The balance compared with the ceiling of ECU 16 000 000 000 may be raised by recourse to the Member States. For calculating the available balance of the authorized ceiling the exchange rate for lending operations is that of the day on which they are concluded and for loan repayments the exchange rate is that of the day on which the corresponding loan was concluded. Outstanding amounts on current Community loans under Regulation (EEC) No 682/81 count against the ceiling. Decisions to grant loans to Member States are adopted by the Council acting by a qualiﬁed majority. 1304 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) Loans are subject to the adoption by the Member State of economic policy measures which will restore a tolerable balance of payments situation. The loans are managed by the European Monetary Institute. 3. Effect on budget Since both parts of these borrowing and on-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated should a debtor default. II. EURATOM BORROWING AND LENDING OPERATIONS 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). Council Decision 77/271/Euratom of 29 March 1977 on the implementation of Decision 77/270/Euratom 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. 11), authorizing an initial tranche of up to ECU 500 000 000. Council Decision 80/29/Euratom of 20 December 1979 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom on the implementation of Decision 77/270/Euratom empowering the Commission to contract Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 12, 17. 1. 1980, p. 28), increasing from ECU 500 000 000 to ECU 1 000 000 000 the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract. Council Decision 82/170/Euratom of 15 March 1982 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom as regards the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 78, 24. 3. 1982, p. 21), increasing from ECU 1 000 000 000 to ECU 2 000 000 000 the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract. Council Decision 85/537/Euratom of 5 December 1985 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom as regards the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 334, 12. 12. 1985, p. 23), increasing from ECU 2 000 000 000 to ECU 3 000 000 000 the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract. Council Decision 90/212/Euratom of 23 April 1990 amending Decision 77/271/Euratom applying Decision 77/270/ Euratom empowering the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the ﬁnancing of nuclear power stations (OJ L 112, 3. 5. 1990, p. 26), increasing from ECU 3 000 000 000 to ECU 4 000 000 000 the total amount of Euratom loans which the Commission is empowered to contract. 2. Description The above Decisions empower the Commission to raise loans on behalf of the European Atomic Energy Community, the proceeds of which are for on-lending to ﬁnance investment projects involving the industrial generation of nuclear-based electricity and industrial fuel-cycle installations. To reduce Europe’s dependence on imported energy, the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity must be encouraged, with due account for safety and security requirements. Downstream from production, the investments necessary for the reprocessing and storage of waste will need to be promoted. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1305 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) The borrowing and on-lending machinery set up by the European Atomic Energy Community enables electricity producers faced with a substantial increase in their investment and operating costs to make more extensive use of credit. The loans raised are managed by the Commission, which, in conjunction with the European Investment Bank, also manages the loans granted. On 24 July 1996 the Commission submitted a report to the Council and the European Parliament on Euratom borrowing and lending as part of the annual report on Community borrowing and lending operations for 1995 in accordance with Article 4 of Decision 77/270/Euratom. 3. Effect on budget Since both parts of these borrowing and on-lending operations are carried out on identical terms, they affect the budget only if the guarantee is activated should a debtor default.

Description (a) NCI The above instruments empower the Commission to raise loans on behalf of the European Community, the proceeds of which are for on-lending to ﬁnance investment projects which contribute to greater convergence and integration of the economies of the Member States. These projects must help attain the priority European Union objectives in the energy, industry and infrastructure sectors, and assist the ﬁnancing of investment by small- and medium-sized undertakings in productive sectors and the promotion of new technologies and innovation taking account of inter alia the regional impact of the projects and the need to combat unemployment. The New Community Instrument borrowing ceilings, like those for the other Community ﬁnancial instruments, are ﬁxed by unanimous decision of the Council. However, the New Community Instrument tranches — which under NCI I and II were also ﬁxed by unanimous Council decision — are now authorized, following Decision 83/200/EEC, by the Council acting by a qualiﬁed majority. Within the limits of the tranches authorized by the Council, the Commission borrows on the capital markets; under a cooperation agreement between the Commission and the European Investment Bank, the Bank, subject to the Commission’s decision on the eligibility of projects, is authorized to take decisions on the granting of loans and to manage them. In accordance with Article 6 of Decision 78/870/EEC, Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1736/79 and Article 7 of Decisions 81/19/EEC, 82/268/EEC and 83/200/EEC the Commission, on 24 July 1996, submitted a report to the Council and the European Parliament covering 1995 on: — NCI borrowing and lending operations, — European Union aid granted by way of exception for the reconstruction of the regions affected by the Italian earthquake in November 1980 and the Greek earthquakes in February and March 1981. In addition, in accordance with Article 6 of Decision 83/200/EEC the Commission sends the Council and the European Parliament six-monthly reports on the rate of utilization of NCI tranches. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1307 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) On 31 December 1996 there was only some ECU 267 500 000 still available under the various NCIs (including NCI-earthquakes). (b) NCI — Earthquakes By extension of the initial provisions of the New Community Instrument and by way of sole exception, the Commission is empowered to contract loans for the purpose of ﬁnancing investments for the reconstruction of the means of production and the economic and social infrastructure in the regions of southern Italy and Greece affected by the earthquakes of 23 November 1980 and February and March 1981 respectively. The amount which the Commission is allowed to raise is limited to ECU 1 000 000 000 for Italy and ECU 80 000 000 for Greece, less any amounts lent by the European Investment Bank from its own resources. The budget guarantee covers the Commission’s borrowing operations. The entire ECU 80 000 000 for Greece was raised and on-lent in 1982 under the NCI. For Italy, ECU 950 300 000 out of the ECU 1 000 000 000 authorized had been paid out at 31 December 1992, 63 % under the NCI and 37 % from the European Investment Bank’s own resources. Interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of up to ECU 1 000 000 000 in principal granted for investment in the regions of Italy affected by the earthquake in November 1980 under the New Community Instrument for the promotion of investment in the Community in accordance with Article 1 of Decision 78/870/EEC, as supplemented by Article 1 of Decision 81/19/EEC, and/or by the European Investment Bank from its own funds. Interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of up to ECU 80 000 000 in principal granted for investment in the regions affected by the Greek earthquake disaster in February and March 1981 under the New Community Instrument for the promotion of investment in the Community in accordance with Article 1 of Decision 78/870/EEC, as supplemented by Article 1 of Decision 81/1013/EEC, and/or by the European Investment Bank from its own funds. Finally, interest-rate subsidies of 3 % for a maximum of 12 years may be allowed by the European Union on loans of up to ECU 100 000 000 in principal granted by the European Investment Bank from its own funds for investment in the regions of Greece affected by the earthquake in September 1986, in accordance with Article 1 of Decision 88/561/EEC. 3. Effect on budget These back-to-back borrowing and lending operations should not represent a direct charge on the general budget. The possibility of temporarily investing borrowed funds deposited by the Commission with the European Investment Bank (Treasury) as provided in Article 4 of the New Community Instrument Decisions should not affect the neutral nature, from the point of view of the charge to the budget, of borrowing and lending operations under this instrument. The ﬁnancial impact is conﬁned to: — activation of the guarantee should a debtor default, — the associated interest-rate subsidies (earthquake loans). IV. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY GUARANTEE FOR BORROWING PROGRAMMES CONTRACTED BY THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDITERRANEAN NON-MEMBER COUNTRIES 1. Legal basis Council Decision 91/408/EEC of 22 July 1991 on ﬁnancial aid for Israel and the Palestinian population of the Occupied Territories (OJ L 227, 15. 8. 1991, p. 33). 1308 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) Council Decision 91/510/EEC of 23 September 1991 providing a medium-term loan to Algeria (OJ L 272, 28. 9. 1991, p. 90).

Council Decision 97/471/EC of 22 July 1997 providing macro-ﬁnancial assistance for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (OJ L 200, 29. 7. 1997, p. 59). 2. Description As part of the ﬁnancial assistance agreed by the Council for Israel and the population of the occupied territories, the Commissions is empowered to borrow, on behalf of the European Union, ECU 160 000 000 in one tranche for a period of seven years. The proceeds will be paid out to Israel on the same terms and will be accompanied by an interest subsidy of ECU 27 500 000 paid from the general budget. This operation started in February 1992. An operation for Algeria was authorized by the Council on 23 September 1991. The operation involves the borrowing and lending of ECU 400 000 000 in two tranches of ECU 250 000 000 and ECU 150 000 000. The ﬁrst tranche was paid in January 1992. The second tranche was paid in August 1994. A new operation for Algeria involving ECU 200 000 000, in two tranches, over a period of no more than seven years, was proposed by the Commission and decided by the Council on 22 December 1994. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 100 000 000 was paid on 27 November 1995. 3.

Description The European Union is granting Hungary a medium-term loan of up to ECU 870 000 000 in principal for a maximum of ﬁve years. The loan is intended to facilitate the adjustment of the Hungarian economy in a way which will enable it to derive all the beneﬁts of a market-based economy. It will be made available in tranches. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 350 000 000 was paid on 20 April 1990. A second tranche of ECU 260 000 000 was paid on 14 February 1991. Hungary repaid the ﬁrst tranche of ECU 350 000 000 in full on 20 April 1995. The second tranche of ECU 260 000 000 was repaid on 20 April 1996. Arrangements concerning the payment of the third tranche and the relevant procedural agreement, including the question of guarantees, will be made at a later stage. As the break-up of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) and the Gulf crisis threatened to compromise the initial encouraging results of the reforms undertaken, it was decided to launch a supplementary borrowing and lending operation for ECU 180 000 000 under the overall ECU 360 000 000 group of 24 industrialized countries’ aid programme. The loan is being made available in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 100 000 000 was paid to Hungary on 14 August 1991. The second tranche of ECU 80 000 000 was paid on 15 January 1993. As part of the group of 24 industrialized countries’ total aid of around ECU 750 000 000 to Czechoslovakia, the Commission, on behalf of the European Union, is empowered to borrow, in two tranches, ECU 375 000 000 for a period of seven years. The proceeds of this operation have been on-lent on the same terms to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 185 000 000 was paid on 14 August 1991. It will be repaid in one instalment after seven years. The second tranche was paid in February 1992. The separation into the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic on 1 January 1993 meant that the loan contract had to be amended to divide the amount of the loan between each of the two Republics concerned. The Czech Republic’s share is ECU 250 000 000 and the Slovak Republic’s ECU 125 000 000. As part of the group of 24 industrialized countries’ total aid of ECU 580 000 000 to Bulgaria, the Commission, on behalf of the European Union, is empowered to borrow, in two tranches, ECU 290 000 000 for a period of seven years. The proceeds of this operation will be on-lent on the same terms to Bulgaria. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 150 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 14 August 1991. It will be repaid in one instalment after seven years. The second tranche of ECU 140 000 000 was paid in February 1992. 1310 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) A new operation for Bulgaria involving ECU 110 000 000 to be paid in two tranches for a maximum period of seven years was proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 19 October 1992.

The second tranche of ECU 185 000 000 was paid in April 1992. A new operation for Romania involving ECU 80 000 000 to be paid in a single tranche for a maximum period of seven years was proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 27 November 1992. The loan was paid on 26 February 1993. A third operation for Romania involving ECU 125 000 000, in two tranches, for a maximum period of seven years was proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Council on 20 June 1994. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 55 000 000 was paid on 20 November 1995. On 23 November 1992 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing and lending operation in respect of the Baltic States. The operation involves the borrowing of ECU 220 000 000 divided up as follows: — ECU 40 000 000 for Estonia, — ECU 80 000 000 for Latvia, — ECU 100 000 000 for Lithuania. The loan will be for a maximum period of seven years and will be disbursed in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranches of ECU 20 000 000 for Estonia and ECU 40 000 000 for Latvia were paid in March 1993. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 50 000 000 for Lithuania was paid in July 1993. Half of the second tranche, i. e. ECU 25 000 000 of the ECU 50 000 000 planned, was paid to Lithuania on 16 August 1995. The Commission must report to the Council and Parliament at least once a year on the application of the concerned decisions. 3.

(b) General budget guarantee Under the terms of the abovementioned Council Decision of 8 March 1977, the European Union guarantees loans to be granted by the European Investment Bank as part of the European Union’s ﬁnancial commitments towards the Mediterranean Basin countries. This decision was the basis for the contract of guarantee signed by the European Economic Community and the European Investment Bank on 30 October 1978 in Brussels and 10 November 1978 in Luxembourg introducing a global guarantee of 75 % of all credit lines made available for loans in the following countries: Malta, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Portugal (Financial Protocol, emergency aid), Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel, Greece, former Yugoslavia and Lebanon. In addition, by way of exception, a 100 % guarantee covers loans allocated for emergency aid to Portugal in accordance with Council Decision of 7 October 1975. The contract of guarantee is extended for each new Financial Protocol. The level of the global guarantee is given in Section D (Table 3). Decision 97/256/EC was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the EEC and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997 setting up a guarantee restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. 2. Description Under the Financial Protocols concluded with Mediterranean Basin 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 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). Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank 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 credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU 2 310 000 000 is for the abovementioned Mediterranean countries. It covers a period of three years beginning on 31 January 1997. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically extended by six months. The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1317 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) 3.

The effect on the budget is thus limited to: — payment to the Fund of 14 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed since 1 January 1993, — activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. Previously, the guarantee was applied for the ﬁrst time in February 1988. Since then the European Union has had to pay 11 times when Lebanon has defaulted. All the ECU 32 009 000 paid out has been repaid. The guarantee was ﬁrst applied for Syria in March 1990. Since then Syria has defaulted ﬁve times on a total of ECU 8 100 000 paid out. All this amount has now been repaid. The guarantee was ﬁrst applied for some of the Republics of the former Yugoslavia in October 1992. Since then the Commission has had to step in on ﬁve occasions. The total paid out comes ; to ECU 28 572 899; ECU 4 600 000 has been repaid by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, — 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.

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 Parliament, decided that this guarantee should be extended to any loans that the European Investment Bank might make in the other countries of central and eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania) over a period of two years up to a maximum of ECU 700 000 000.

Legal basis Council Decision 95/207/EC of 1 June 1995 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects in South Africa (OJ L 131, 15. 6. 1995, p. 31). This Decision is the basis of a contract of guarantee signed by the European Community and the European Investment Bank in Brussels on 4 October 1995 and in Luxembourg on 16 October 1995. Council Decision 97/256/EC of 14 April 1997 granting a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank against losses under loans for projects outside the Community (Central and Eastern Europe countries, Mediterranean countries, Latin American and Asian countries and South Africa) (OJ L 102, 19. 4. 1997, p. 33). This Decision was the basis for a contract of guarantee between the EEC and the European Investment Bank signed in Brussels on 25 July 1997 and in Luxembourg on 29 July 1997. 2. Description In accordance with the provisions of Decision 95/207/EC, the European Union will guarantee European Investment Bank loans to South Africa up to a maximum total amount of ECU 300 000 000. The budget guarantee covers all the debt-servicing (repayment of principal, interest and ancillary costs) in connection with these loans. Acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting Parliament, the Council decided on 14 April 1997 to renew the Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for loans for projects in the Republic of South Africa. The guarantee is restricted to 70 % of the aggregate amount of the credits opened, plus all related sums. The overall ceiling of the credits opened is equivalent to ECU 7 105 000 000, of which ECU 375 000 000 is for Republic of South Africa. It covers a period of three years beginning on 1 July 1997. If, on expiry of this period, the loans granted by the European Investment Bank have not attained the overall amounts referred to above, the period will be automatically extended by six months. The European Investment Bank is invited to aim to cover the commercial risk on 25 % of its lending from non-sovereign guarantees. 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 action (OJ L 293, 12. 11. 1994, 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: — payment to the Fund of 14 % of the capital value of the lending and guarantee operations decided and committed since 1 January 1993, — activation of the budget guarantee should the debtor default. 1322 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) C.

II (Borrowing and lending) 1. Tables 1 and 2 Technical notes on Tables 1 to 3 (a) For balance of payments, ‘NCI’ and ‘Euratom’ operations the amounts borrowed should correspond to the amounts lent. However, the funds borrowed may be exchanged under swap operations for other currencies (at different interest rates) and these currencies are then lent. Divergent movements in the parities against the ecu of the currencies borrowed and lent are the reasons for the differences between the columns ‘Repayments’ and ‘Amount outstanding’ for borrowing and lending operations. The differences in interest rates for the currencies used in borrowing and lending operations are the reasons for differences in the column ‘Interest’ for these two types of operations. (b) Exchange rate: the amounts in Column (2) ‘Equivalent at date of signature’ 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 1996. (c) Column (3) ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 1996’. With reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts: — received up to 31 December 1996 in respect of loans raised in 1986 (Table 1), including reﬁnancing operations (hence some duplication), — paid up to 31 December 1996 in respect of loans granted in 1986 (Table 2). (d) Column (4) ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 1996’: 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 1996, including repayments in respect of reﬁnancing operations (total not given in the tables). (e) Column (7) = Column (4) − Column (5). (f) Column (8) = Column (7) − Column (6). 2. Table 3 (a) Column (2) ‘Authorized credit line’: this corresponds to the overall allocation laid down in the Cooperation Agreement/Financial Protocol. (b) Column (3) ‘Loans made available (less cancellations)’: this relates to loans signed. 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1345 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) (c) European Union guarantee: the global 75 % guarantee is equivalent to 75 % of all loans provided, which totalled ECU 5 238 000 000 at the end of 1996. As the amount outstanding at 31 December 1996 was ECU 2 356 000 000, the theoretical maximum loss in respect of the global guarantee would be the same. The total risk to the European Union in respect of EIB loans is thus ECU 2 356 000 000 under the global guarantee and ECU 1 542 000 000 under the full guarantee (Portugal, central and eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America and South Africa). 16. 2. 98 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1347 COMMISSION Part B ANNEX III EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA 1348 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 2. 98 COMMISSION Part B — Annex III (European Economic Area) List of budget headings concerned by the Agreement on the European Economic Area Title Article Item A-2 A-3 A-5 A-7 Heading Commitments Payments (1) EFTA contribution Commitments Payments BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT AND MISCELLANEOUS OPERATING EXPENDITURE 323 207 000 323 207 000 497 000 497 000 EXPENDITURE RESULTING FROM SPECIAL FUNC- TIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE INSTITUTION 248 115 180 248 115 180 4 000 4 000 DATA PROCESSING 93 900 000 93 900 000 187 000 187 000 DECENTRALIZED EXPENDITURE ON SUPPORT STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION 192 518 000 192 518 000 1 067 000 1 067 000 Part A — Sub-total 857 740 180 857 740 180 1 755 000 1 755 000 B3-1 0 0 0 Preparatory measures for reinforcing cooperation in the ﬁeld of education B3-1 0 0 1 Socrates B3-1 0 0 6 Promotion and safeguard of regional and minority languages and cultures B3-1 0 1 0 Youth for Europe B3-1 0 1 1 B3-1 0 2 0 European voluntary service (2) Social dialogue operations and preparatory measures for reinforcing cooperation on vocational training 2 250 000 2 147 000 42 525 40 578 199 100 000 188 852 000 3 762 990 3 569 303 4 000 000 26 000 000 25 000 000 4 200 000 25 000 000 22 813 000 75 600 491 400 472 500 79 380 472 500 431 166 1 300 000 1 300 000 24 570 24 570 B3-1 0 2 1 Leonardo da Vinci 140 400 000 96 400 000 2 653 560 1 821 960 B3-2 0 0 0 B3-2 0 0 1 B3-2 0 0 2 B3-2 0 0 4 B3-2 0 1 0 Raphael cultural heritage) (Community action programme in the ﬁeld of Kaleidoscope (programme to support artistic and cultural activities having a European dimension) Ariane (support programme in the ﬁeld of books and culture) Promotion of the linguistic diversity of the Community in the information society (2) Media (measures to promote the development of the audio- visual industry) B3-4 0 1 1 Eures (European Employment Services) B3-4 0 1 2 Measures to achieve equality between men and women B3-4 1 0 2 Preparatory actions to encourage cooperation between Mem- ber States to combat social exclusion (2) B3-4 1 0 4 Measures for the elderly (2) 10 600 000 8 980 000 200 340 169 722 10 200 000 8 875 000 192 780 167 738 4 100 000 2 683 000 4 000 000 2 700 000 77 490 75 600 58 250 000 10 000 000 10 000 000 4 300 0000 p. m. 49 997 000 1 100 925 8 563 000 4 000 000 3 600 000 400 000 187 000 189 000 81 270 50 709 51 030 944 943 160 128 75 600 68 040 7 560 (1) Only payments assigned to commitments in 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.
