Given the urgent need to improve employee skills and to strengthen coherence between new productive investments and the principle of sustainable development in SMEs, ﬁnancial priority will be given to actions in favour of human resources and of careful and sustainable use of natural resources. 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. 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 EUR 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. 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 699 COMMISSION Subsection B2 (Structural operations, ﬁnancial mechanism, other agricultural and regional operations, transport and ﬁsheries) CHAPTER B2-1 4 — COMMUNITY INITIATIVES (cont’d) B2-1 4 7 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Payments 1998 1999 2000 2001 Subsequent years 238 715 289 113 100 000 63 100 000 31 300 000 18 800 000 12 415 289 Commitments Pre-1998 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again from and/or carried over 1997 Appropriation for 1998 209 000 000 67 700 000 54 700 000 43 300 000 26 000 000 17 300 000 Appropriation for 1999 332 180 000 123 200 000 111 080 000 61 400 000 36 500 000 Total 779 895 289 180 800 000 241 000 000 185 680 000 106 200 000 66 215 289 B2-1 4 8 Reserve for past and future measures Appropriations 1999 Appropriations 1998 Outturn 1997 Commitments Payments Commitments Payments Commitments Payments p. m. 84 000 000 p. m. 65 000 000 0,— 187 592 092,30 Remarks This appropriation is intended to cover payments for past Community measures (1989 to 1993), and the commitment and payment appropriations for any new Community measures the Commission may decide to take.

This appropriation is intended to cover the subsidy paid to the International Information Centre of the International Labour Office. It also covers the cost of information and public awareness campaigns and training measures for health workers. The growth in external cooperation work is the result of the agreement between the Community and the members of the European Free Trade Association, new developments in central and eastern Europe, the increasing general interest in health and safety and the need to step up cooperation with international organizations such as the International Labour Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Health Organization and the International Maritime Organization. This operation is designed to guarantee proper application of the Community directives on safety and health protection at the workplace, to continue promoting the establishment of strict standards for safety and health protection at the workplace in the Community, and to secure effective participation of the two sides of industry in planning, formulating and implementing the Community policy initiated by the Commission for the safety and health protection of workers. This appropriation also covers pilot projects on environmental training for workers in small and medium-sized businesses. It also covers a subsidy for the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Health and Safety (TUTB).

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). Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC), submitted by the Commission on 19 March 1998, amending Regulation (EC) No 2236/95 laying down general rules for the granting of Community ﬁnancial aid in the ﬁeld of trans-European networks (OJ C 175, 9. 6. 1998, p. 7). 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 utilised to ensure that investment is structured as follows: — railways (including combined transport): minimum 55 %, — roads: maximum 25 %, — traffic management and telematics: maximum 15 %. The variable residual amounts are to be utilised for inland waterways, seaports, airports and inland ports. The special interests of the countries beneﬁting from the Cohesion Fund must be taken into account. A maximum of 60 % of the commitment appropriations for this article may be used for the priority projects in Annex III to Decision No 1692/96/EC. The appropriations must also be used for the additional priority transport projects in accordance with Sections I and II of Decision No 1692/96/EC. A maximum amount of EUR 4 500 000 may cover justiﬁed expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the measure, of which they form an integral part. For all signiﬁcant projects ﬁnanced by this article, the Commission must submit an environmental statement on the basis of Article 130r of the Treaty. 944 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 COMMISSION Subsection B5 (Consumer protection, internal market, industry and trans-European networks) CHAPTER B5-7 0 — TRANSPORT NETWORKS (cont’d) B5-7 0 0 (cont’d) The likely schedule of payments vis-à-vis commitments is as follows: Payments 1998 1999 2000 2001 Subsequent years 728 182 000 142 280 000 160 000 000 210 600 000 215 302 000 Commitments Pre-1998 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again from and/or carried over 1997 Appropriation for 1998 475 000 000 186 720 000 95 000 000 95 000 000 98 280 000 Appropriation for 1999 499 500 000 129 500 000 105 000 000 105 000 000 160 000 000 Total 1 702 682 000 329 000 000 384 500 000 410 600 000 418 582 000 160 000 000 Any revenue will be available for re-use, in accordance with Article 27 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, ECSC, Euratom) No 2548/98 (OJ L 320, 28. 11. 1998, p. 1).

January 1999, adopting a speciﬁc programme for research and training to be implemented by the Joint Research Centre by means of direct actions for the European Atomic Energy Community (1998 to 2002) (OJ L. ,. , p. ). This appropriation covers expenditure relating to the staff complement of the Joint Research Centre, for the execution of tasks entrusted to it, and in particular: — direct actions, consisting of scientiﬁc and technical support activities, research activities and exploratory research activities undertaken in the establishments of the Joint Research Centre, — indirect actions, consisting of programmes implemented as part of the Joint Research Centre’s activities conducted on a competitive basis. In view of the fact that there is a shortfall in the actual staff complement (due to the way in which research centres operate), this appropriation will also cover expenditure relating to visiting scientists, fellows and seconded staff. The revenue in respect of staff employed on work carried out by the Joint Research Centre for outside bodies will be used to provide additional appropriations (Items 6 2 2 1, 6 2 2 3 and 6 2 2 6 of the statement of revenue). The appropriations could be supplemented by JRC participation on a competitive basis in (indirect) shared-cost activities and in scientiﬁc and technical activities in support of Community policies. The Joint Research Centre will make every effort to ensure that at least 35 % of the staff is recruited on three-year non-renewable contracts. It will report before 1 October 1999 on its achievements. 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 971 COMMISSION Subsection B6 (Research and technological development) CHAPTER B6-1 1 — STAFF (cont’d) B6-1 1 1 (cont’d) The breakdown of appropriations for staff expenditure is as follows: Programme Commitments Payments Framework programme (nuclear) Framework programme (non-nuclear) Non-framework programme 41 851 907 113 358 093 p. m. 41 851 907 113 358 093 p. m.

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 evaluations (proposals and projects), follow-up and evaluation of speciﬁc programmes and the framework programmes, coordination, indicators and cooperation, and contracts covering grants, subsidies and the training and mobility of scientists, participation in international agreements, Community participation in COST and Eureka projects and the provision of facilities and equipment. Also entered against these articles and items 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 (COM(93) 203 and COM(98) 275 ﬁnal), — development of new methods to strengthen transnational partnerships, — action taken by the Commission to promote coordination of national and Community RTD policies and to keep them consistent, — coordination of the RTD activities with other Community RTD policies and action taken by the Commission to explore fully the strategic links between RTD and the realities of the market. Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of the action taken by the Commission to take account of the experience gained in third countries with support for RTD capacity in the less-favoured regions on their territory with a view to global comparisons. Other action will focus, in particular, on concertation between the Member States and the national and European scientiﬁc bodies on the general and sectoral policies and measures taken at national level. These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not (in accordance with Articles 19 and 93 of the Financial Regulation), 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. 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 (broken down by booking code). The possibility of 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.

January 1999 adopting a speciﬁc programme for research, technological development and demonstration on ‘Promotion of innovation and encouragement of participation of SMEs’ (1998 to 2002) (OJ L. ,. , p. ). Innovation is a key factor in industrial competitiveness, sustainable economic and social development and job creation. The aim is to promote innovative activities, including the creation of innovative enterprises, and to facilitate the dissemination and exploitation of research results and support technology transfer. Small and medium-sized businesses are important vectors and players in innovation. Their development can make a vital contribution to economic growth and social well-being, the emergence of new economic activities, job creation and competitiveness. Small ﬁrms should be provided with easy access to the new technologies which they need, and to the possibilities offered by the Community’s as well as the Member States’ research programmes. Promoting innovation and encouraging participation by SMEs are closely linked activities. Consequently, these two ﬁelds will be covered by the same activity under the framework programme to complement the activities undertaken in the Member States and in the other programmes under the framework programme. Three speciﬁc objectives will give direction to the action taken to implement this activity: — promotion of innovation: by helping to implement innovation policies in the European Union, by creating an environment conducive to innovation, by enhancing public awareness, by better dissemination, exploitation and transfer of research results and by facilitating access, by participants in the programme (particularly SMEs), to instruments which support innovation (project-type methods for technology transfer, innovation trend chart, information networks and services, assistance in the area of intellectual property and access to private ﬁnance, establishment of mechanisms for exploitation and transfer of results, etc. ), — encouraging SME participation: stimulation of participation by SMEs in research projects and transfers of technologies; encouragement for the establishment of networks, partnerships and transnational links with other SMEs and also with other players (big businesses, research centres, universities, ﬁnancial institutions, regional authorities, bodies to support innovation and transfer of technologies) in order, in particular, to integrate and disseminate new technologies (one-stop office, joint assistance instruments for SMEs, etc. ), — interaction with activities in other programmes: the activities will be conducted in concertation to ensure efficiency and consistency in the establishment and management of activities under the thematic programmes in connection with innovation and participation by SMEs. This appropriation is intended to cover: — indirect RTD action: — shared-cost action: research and technological development (RTD) projects, demonstration projects, integrated projects combining RTD and demonstration, support for access to research infrastructure, technology stimulation projects to encourage and facilitate SME participation in RTD activities (‘cooperative research’ projects and ‘exploratory awards’), — training fellowships, — thematic networks, — concerted action, — accompanying measures, — action for coordination with other speciﬁc programmes implementing this framework programme and with other measures (Eureka, COST, PHARE, TACIS, European Investment Fund, the Structural Funds and the European Investment Bank).

This appropriation is intended to cover operations ﬁnanced under the Community support programme for the Occupied Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (1994 to 1998), in the context of the Middle East peace process. 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. The operations should favour the use of renewable energies as much as possible. 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.

Council Decisions 98/259/EC to 98/268/EC of 30 March 1998 on the principles, priorities, intermediate objectives and conditions contained in the accession partnerships with the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Slovenia respectively (OJ L 121, 23. 4. 1998, p. 1). 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. With a view to stepping up the pre-accession strategy as a whole, and in accordance with the guidelines laid down in Agenda 2000, PHARE operations will 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. This appropriation will also ensure the ﬁnancing of a systematic gender impact assessment of operations under this article targeted at institution building and investment support. 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. The Commission will provide a breakdown four times a year by country and by sector of commitments and payments made. Operations which until 1996 were ﬁnanced under Article B7-8 4 0 are included under transport. Measures taken in the area of nuclear security are intended in particular to cover the ﬁnancing of technical and legal assistance necessary for the evaluation of the safety, environmental, economic and ﬁnancial aspects of the projects for which ﬁnancing in the form of a Euratom loan has been requested; the measures are also intended to enable loan contracts to be ﬁnalized and carried out. The Commission shall provide the budgetary authority with itemized information on the costs of this technical and legal assistance. In accordance with the Sole Article of Decision 94/179/Euratom, any proceeds from undertakings in receipt of a loan under that decision will be entered against Item 6 1 9 1 of the statement of revenue and may be used to grant additional loans in line with the provisions of Article 96 (1) of the Financial Regulation. This appropriation is intended also to cover the ﬁnancing of one or more pilot projects on veterinary prevention and control in the countries bordering on the European Union. This appropriation, up to an amount of EUR 3 000 000 is also intended to support and promote the development of modern and independent industrial relations systems and social dialogue in applicant countries as part of the process of institution building in those countries in the run-up to their accession to the European Union. Within the context of reform of PHARE towards greater decentralization and on the basis of a time-limited approach, appropriations shall, in particular, ﬁnance information and training measures for trade union and employer organizations in the countries concerned, as well as supporting dialogue and exchange with the European social partners. A maximum amount of EUR 10 200 000 may cover expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, information and publications directly linked to the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part. 1102 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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) This article will also fund technical and administrative assistance, to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures, which does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme or project itself. A maximum amount of EUR 53 820 000 is authorized for such expenditure.

This appropriation is intended to cover the running costs of the European Training Foundation. The Commission must ensure that the Foundation is paid a contribution to its administrative expenditure from the Tempus programme.

European Parliament resolution of 24 March 1994 on relations between the European Union and the United States of America (OJ C 114, 25. 4. 1994, p. 18). 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 in the ﬁelds of information and culture 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 budget will be limited to EUR 6 000 000, in accordance with the following breakdown of activities: 1. Education 2 100 000 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1147 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) — Transatlantic research and exchange programmes This programme would choose up to 10 centres of European studies to serve as host institutions for visiting scholars and practitioners from the European Union. 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 such a programme. — Electronic resources and long-distance learning — A proposal already submitted could establish a joint EU-US 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. This appropriation is also intended for an educational exchange programme with the United States of America. 2. People to People — Transatlantic labour dialogue (EUR 300 000) — Transatlantic small and medium-sized enterprise initiative (EUR 300 000) — Transatlantic business dialogue (EUR 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 United States’ administrations, focused on the European side of the dialogue. 900 000 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 the 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 creating of links 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 amount 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. Furthermore, independent funders would be expected to supplement such funding. An annual evaluation report on these activities will have to be submitted by the Commission to the budgetary authority by 30 June of the following year. An appropriation of EUR 400 000 is intended to ﬁnance the European Union’s participation in the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Treaty Association and, in particular, to provide subsidies for young conference participants and those from eastern Europe. This item will also fund technical and administrative assistance to both the Commission and the beneﬁciaries of the measures which does not fall within the standing remit of public administration, covering the identiﬁcation, preparation, management, monitoring, audit and supervision of the programme or project. Such technical and administrative assistance may only continue as long as the programme or project itself. A maximum amount of EUR 420 000 is authorized for such expenditure. 500 000 1148 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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 1998 1999 2000 2001 Subsequent years Payments Pre-1998 commitments still outstanding Commitment appropria- tions made available again and/or carried over from 1997 Appropriation for 1998 Appropriation for 1999 6 000 000 (1) 6 000 000 (2) 5 000 000 1 000 000 5 000 000 1 000 000 Total 12 000 000 5 000 000 (3) 6 000 000 (4) 1 000 000 (1) Of which EUR 3 000 000 is entered in Chapter B0-4 0.

OPERATIONS BORROWING AND LENDING OPERATIONS GUARANTEED BY THE GENERAL BUDGET National currencies have been converted into ecus at the rate applicable at 31 December 1997 1274 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) A. 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) No 2444/97 (OJ L 340, 11. 12. 1997, p. 1). 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 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 1997 was the decline in the European Union’s operations. This decline was due to the repayment of ECU 527 200 000 in NCI loans and to the repayment of tranches of ECU 479 100 000 in Euratom loans in the Member States and, elsewhere, ECU 80 000 000 on a loan to Hungary, ECU 127 000 000 on a loan to the Czech Republic, ECU 63 000 000 on a loan to the Slovak Republic, ECU 140 000 000 on a loan to Bulgaria, ECU 250 000 000 on a loan to Algeria, ECU 5 000 000 on a loan to Estonia, the repayment of the ECU 160 000 000 loan to Israel, and ECU 118 970 000 of the ECU 1 250 000 000 loan to the former Soviet Union and its republics. Loans were also disbursed to Romania (ECU 25 000 000) and Ukraine (ECU 70 000 000), (ECU 100 000 000). the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) At 31 December 1997, outstanding operations covered by the general budget totalled ECU 12 171 000 000; of this total ECU 4 497 000 000 was inside the European Union and ECU 7 674 000 000 outside. 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1275 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. 1276 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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. 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1277 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 19 June 1997 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 1996 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. III. BORROWING AND LENDING OPERATIONS UNDER THE NEW COMMUNITY INSTRUMENT FOR THE PROMOTION OF INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITY (NCI) AND AID GRANTED BY WAY OF EXCEPTION FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF REGIONS AFFECTED BY EARTHQUAKES (NCI — EARTHQUAKES) 1. Legal basis (a) NCI Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof. Council Decision 78/870/EEC of 16 October 1978 empowering the Commission to contract loans for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 298, 25. 10. 1978, p. 9), up to the equivalent of ECU 1 000 000 000 in principal (NCI I). Council Decision 79/486/EEC of 14 May 1979 applying Decision 78/870/EEC empowering the Commission to contract loans for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 125, 22. 5. 1979, p. 16), authorizing an initial tranche up to the equivalent of ECU 500 000 000 in principal.

Council Decision 80/1103/EEC of 25 November 1980 supplementing, as regards the application of part of the second tranche of loans, Decision 80/739/EEC applying for the second time Decision 78/870/EEC empowering the Commission to contract loans for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 326, 2. 12. 1980, p. 19), as regards the application of an amount equivalent to ECU 100 000 000 in principal. Council Decision 82/169/EEC of 15 March 1982 empowering the Commission to contract loans for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 78, 24. 3. 1982, p. 19), up to the equivalent of ECU 1 000 000 000 in principal (NCI II). Council Decision 82/268/EEC of 26 April 1982 implementing Decision 82/169/EEC empowering the Commission to contract loans for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 116, 30. 4. 1982, p. 16), authorizing a single tranche up to the equivalent of ECU 1 000 000 000 in principal. Council Decision 83/200/EEC of 19 April 1983 empowering the Commission to contract loans under the New Community Instrument for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 112, 28. 4. 1983, p. 26) totalling ECU 3 000 000 000 (NCI III). 1278 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) Council Decision 83/308/EEC of 13 June 1983 applying Decision 83/200/EEC empowering the Commission to contract loans under the New Community Instrument for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 164, 23. 6. 1983, p. 31) which authorizes a ﬁrst tranche of loans of ECU 1 500 000 000. Council Decision 84/383/EEC of 23 July 1984 applying Decision 83/200/EEC empowering the Commission to contract loans under the New Community Instrument for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 208, 3. 8. 1984, p. 53) authorizing a third tranche of loans totalling ECU 1 400 000 000. Council Decision 87/182/EEC of 9 March 1987 empowering the Commission to borrow under the New Community Instrument for the purpose of promoting investment within the Community (OJ L 71, 14. 3. 1987, p. 34) for ECU 750 000 000 (NCI IV). (b) NCI — Earthquakes Council Decision 81/19/EEC of 20 January 1981 on Community aid granted by way of exception for the reconstruction of the regions affected by the Italian earthquake in November 1980 (OJ L 37, 10. 2. 1981, p. 21), authorizing the Commission to contract loans up to ECU 1 000 000 000 in principal after deduction of any amounts lent by the EIB out of its own resources for the same purpose. Council Decision 81/1013/EEC of 14 December 1981 on Community aid granted by way of exception for the reconstruction of the regions affected by the Greek earthquakes in February and March 1981 (OJ L 367, 23. 12. 1981, p. 27), which took effect retrospectively from 1 January 1981, authorizing the Commission to contract loans up to ECU 80 000 000 in principal after deduction of any amounts lent by the European Investment Bank out of its own resources for the same purpose. 2. 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 19 June 1997, submitted a report to the Council and the European Parliament covering 1996 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. 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1279 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) On 31 December 1997 there was only some ECU 281 300 000 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). 1280 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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 94/938/EC of 22 December 1994 providing further macroﬁnancial assistance for Algeria (OJ L 366, 31. 12. 1994, p. 28). 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. Israel repaid this loan in full on 15 December 1997. 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. Algeria repaid in full the ﬁrst tranche of ECU 250 000 000 on 15 December 1997. A new operation for Algeria involving ECU 200 000 000, in two tranches, over a period of no more than seven years, tranche of was proposed by the Commission and decided by the Council on 22 December 1994. The ﬁrst ECU 100 000 000 was paid on 27 November 1995. On 22 July 1997 the Council authorised a macroﬁnancial aid operation for the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This is a borrowing/lending operation of ECU 40 000 000 in two tranches, of which the ﬁrst (ECU 25 000 000) was paid on 30 September 1997. The second tranche of ECU 15 000 000 was paid on 13 February 1998. 3. Effect on 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.

Description 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 by Hungary, 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. Hungary repaid the loan in full on 15 December 1997 (ECU 80 000 000) and 18 March 1998 (ECU 100 000 000). 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 was repaid on 18 March 1998. The second tranche was paid on 2 March 1992 and was repaid in full on 15 December 1997. 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 was repaid on 18 March 1998. The second tranche of ECU 140 000 000 was paid in February 1992 and was repaid in full on 15 December 1997. 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 ﬁrst tranche of ECU 70 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 7 December 1994. It will be repaid in one instalment after seven years. The second tranche of ECU 40 000 000 was paid in August 1996. On 22 July 1997 the Council decided to grant Bulgaria long-term macroﬁnancial assistance of a maximum of ECU 250 000 000, to be paid in two tranches. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 125 000 000 was paid to Bulgaria on 10 February 1998. It is assumed that the second tranche of ECU 125 000 000 will also be paid in 1998. 1282 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) On 22 July 1991 the Council decided to grant a European Union guarantee for a borrowing and lending operation in respect of Romania. The operation involves the borrowing of ECU 375 000 000 in two tranches for a period of seven years. The ﬁrst tranche of ECU 190 000 000 was disbursed in January 1992. The second tranche of ECU 185 000 000 was paid in April 1992 and was repaid in full on 18 March 1998. 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. The second tranche of ECU 70 000 000 was paid in two instalments on 30 September 1997 (ECU 40 000 000) and 23 December 1997 (ECU 30 000 000). 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 tranche of ECU 20 000 000 for Estonia and ECU 40 000 000 for Latvia were paid in March 1993. The ﬁrst 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.

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). 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1289 COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) 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. 3. Effect on 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. 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 18 occasions. The total paid out comes to ECU 105 930 000; ECU 26 400 000 has been repaid by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, corresponding to all its defaults, — 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.

COMMISSION Part B — Annex II (Borrowing and lending) Technical notes on Tables 1 to 3 1. Tables 1 and 2 (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 1997. (c) Column (3) ‘Initial amount received/paid up to 31 December 1997’. With reference to 1986, for example, this column shows the cumulative total of all amounts: — received up to 31 December 1997 in respect of loans raised in 1986 (Table 1), including reﬁnancing operations (hence some duplication), — paid up to 31 December 1997 in respect of loans granted in 1986 (Table 2). (d) Column (4) ‘Amount outstanding at 31 December 1997’: 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 1997, 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. 1318 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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 5 294 400 000 at the end of 1997: the global 70 %, guarantee is equivalent to 70 % of all loans provided minus repayments and represents ECU 1 830 150 000 at 31 December 1997. As the amount outstanding at 31 December 1997 was ECU 3 373 000 000, 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 3 373 000 000 under the global guarantee and ECU 2 373 200 000 under the full guarantee (Portugal, central and eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America and South Africa). 12. 2. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 1319 COMMISSION Part B ANNEX III EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA 1320 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 2. 1999 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 312 612 000 312 612 000 557 000 557 000 EXPENDITURE RESULTING FROM SPECIAL FUNC- TIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE INSTITUTION 252 729 354 252 729 354 5 000 5 000 DATA PROCESSING 95 900 000 95 900 000 170 000 170 000 DECENTRALIZED EXPENDITURE ON SUPPORT STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION 211 146 000 211 146 000 1 182 000 1 182 000 Part A Sub-total 854 351 000 854 351 000 1 914 000 1 914 000 B3-1 0 0 0 Cooperation in the ﬁelds of education and youth policy 4 500 000 3 227 000 88 200 63 249 B3-1 0 0 1 Socrates B3-1 0 1 0 Youth for Europe B3-1 0 1 1 B3-1 0 2 0 European voluntary service (2) 213 350 000 182 720 000 4 181 660 3 581 312 31 800 000 22 450 000 26 900 000 18 211 000 623 280 440 020 527 240 356 936 13 759 Social dialogue operations and preparatory measures for reinforcing cooperation on vocational training p. m. 702 000 p. m.
