Justification:
The level of payments has to be adapted to better implement EU policies.
The increase in commitments is based on the findings of the Budget Forecast Alert report by the Commission. The commitment implementation rates registered as at September 2009 have reached at least 80% and will reach 100% by the end of the year. This shows a reasonable trend of absorption capacity. Therefore, higher levels of commitment appropriations could be foreseen in this area in the coming year to finance the Programmes concerned.BUDG has taken over and modified the amendments tabled by the Rapporteur.

Add following text:
Assistance is to be increased for European students for studying in the United States and Canada, in particular at universities.
Justification:
Restore PDB. An increase in scholarships is needed so that young Europeans can study at universities in the United States and Canada. The fact of young Europeans gaining better knowledge of the United States and Canada will also help to strengthen transatlantic relations, which must be based on mutual understanding and closer ties between the sides' civil societies, as is highlighted in paragraph 15 of the European Parliament resolution of 26 March 2009 on transatlantic relations (A6-0114/2009).

Remarks:
After paragraph
The objective of the preparatory action in the field of ..........basis of priorities set in the White Paper on Sport.
Amend text as follows:
This objective should be also pursued in 2010 with the proposed preparatory action which will contribute to identifying future policy actions in the area of sport and testing the establishment and functioning of suitable networks and good practices which can serve as a basis for a future EU programme. This preparatory action may include actions stimulating joint transfrontier sport competitions, more particularly in neighbouring regions and Member States (by merging two or three former national or regional competitions). This should ultimately provide an EU added value through the identification and dissemination of best practices and innovative approaches and through the development of comparative research. In view of the specific organisational characteristics of the sport sector, the Programme would address categories of stakeholders who are not addressed by existing EU programmes, and in particular sport organisations. It should create a critical mass by grouping together sport-related organisations and projects around specific themes.
Justification:
In order to fund the projects and actions under this preparatory action the amount available needs to be increased. The introduction of sport among the EU competences, provided that the Lisbon Treaty is ratified, justifies the preservation of the EU's financial support of those sport-related issues with social relevance like the fight against doping, discrimination and violence in sporting events, and the support of disabled sports. Joint sport competitions contribute to the development of the European dimension of sport, of European citizenship and regional development.

Remarks:
After paragraph
This appropriation is intended to cover completion costs of measures supported as special annual events.
Add following text:
EUR 1 800 000 is intended for various cross-border measures organised by the Government of the Autonomous Community of Galicia (Spain) as part of the 'Xacobeo 2010' programme.
Add following text:
EUR 2 000 000 Euro is to be allocated for organising the 10th biannual European Youth Olympic Winter Festival (EYOWF), which is to be held from 12 to 19 February 2011 in Liberec in the Czech Republic. The Liberec will host what is an event of European importance and welcome Europe's best 1 300 young sportsmen and sportswomen from more than 45 countries, making it the largest youth sport event in the history of the Czech Republic.
Add following text:
The European Union places great emphasis on the role sport plays in education, culture, social inclusion and public health for European citizens (and has also supported European Youth Olympic Festivals in the past). In addition, the Treaty of Lisbon will provide Europe with a legal basis to support Member States with regard to the social, educational and cultural aspects of sport. EYOWF Liberec 2011 is an excellent opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers and non-profit sports organisations in educating and bringing up European youth. Support from the EU budget will clearly demonstrate the role of the EU in this field and make it more visible.
Add following text:
EUR 6 000 000 is to be allocated to cofinance the organisation of the European Special Olympics Summer Games in Warsaw, Poland (18-24 September 2010) and to undertake the essential preparations for the World Special Olympics Summer Games in Athens, Greece (20 June – 4 July 2011). This funding will also allow participating athletes from all 27 Member States to trainand prepare for and attend the games in both Poland and Greece. A further allocation should be made in the financial year 2011.
Add following text:
The European Special Olympics Summer Games in Poland will enable over 1800 people with intellectual disabilities to compete in 11 Olympic-type sports. The athletes will be supported by more than 600 coaches, 3 000 volunteers and 2 000 family members. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will conduct a public awareness campaign on intellectual disability, organise a summit for disabled and non-disabled people to become better informed and share their experiences, and organise a European university symposium which will bring together leading academics to discuss issues surrounding intellectual disability.
Add following text:
The World Special Olympics Summer Games in Greece will bring together over 7 500 people with intellectual disabilities from more than 180 countries. These athletes will be supported by 2 500 coaches, 3 000 officials, 25 000 volunteers and over 30 000 family members. Athletes will compete to the best of their abilities in 22 Olympic-type sports. In addition to the games, the Special Olympics organisation will host a global policy summit to discuss the challenges and opportunities for better social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. A family forum will also take place, enabling athletes' family members to learn and share experiences about raising a person with an intellectual disability.
Justification:
As part of the 'Xacobeo 2010' programme, the 1st in the EU with 27 MSs, the Government of Galicia will carry out a set of measures to celebrate the event, including cross-border measures demonstrating the role of the Way of St. James, the first European Cultural Route designated by the Council of Europe in 1987, in creating a common European culture. The measures will boost cooperation and dialogue between various countries' cultural and social actors. The funding will help to pay for some of the measures
EYOWF Liberec 2011 has a clear European dimension and encourages the implementation of EU priorities such as education, culture, social inclusion, public health, youth and mobility.
The total budget of the EYOWF 2011 amounts to 6,61 Million EUR (58 Million EUR has been already invested in infrastructure). The EU support would finance the sports programme and operations and the accompanying cultural programme.
The games will promote volunteerism across borders, break down stereotypes about disability, enable public health provision, include disabled people in social activities. The EP supported the Special Olympics Games (Declaration at 05.05.09) to which the PDB 2010 has referred to as well.
BUDG has taken over and modified the amendments tabled by EPP, CULT and Jiří Havel.

|Reserves | | | | | | | | | | |
Justification:
The amount proposed for 2010 preparatory action is not sufficient in achieving the objectives for this year. The European Year on Education through Sport 2004 was allocated €12,3 million yet a report from the Commission shows that public awareness remained very low. To ensure that 2011 is communicated to the 100 million volunteers at national, regional & local levels greater funding for preparatory action in 2010 is required. It is a real opportunity to engage with citizens already mobilised.

Heading:
European Civil Society House
Remarks:
Add following text:
This appropriation is intended to fund a scoping study and the first steps in setting up a facility for a European Civil Society House.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p.1), as amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1995/2006 (OJ L 390, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
Justification:
The idea is to fund a scoping study amongst civil society organisations within the EU as to the most productive services and support measures that a European Civil Society House could provide for organisations which currently have little contact with and access to the European Institutions; also as to what services would be most useful for EU citizens to access through such a facility. A p.m. would constitute a first step in setting up such a facility based on the study findings.

Justification:
Restore PDB
This reserve could be released once the Commission has presented to the EP its plans on how to implement the outcomes of the IGI.
The Commission has proposed a considerable increase (10.1%) to expenditures on administrative management compared to the 2009 budget. The Council cut it below the 2009 level. To better align the increase of administrative expenditure with the growth of operational expenditure, it seems useful to amend selected administrative management lines based on relevant criteria, such as the nature of the financed activities and the implementation record.

Add following text:
The Commission, when implementing this budget line, should take duly into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI).
Justification:
The last European elections showed a very low rate of participation. The EU's inter-institutional cooperation in the area of communication policy needs to be improved to make the EU and its institutions and policies better known to citizens. This can be done by taking into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI) when implementing this budget line. The difference between the PDB and the DB is put in a reserve pending the presentation by the Commission to the Budgetary Authority on how it intends to use this financial appropriation.

Pilot project for European research grants for cross-border investigative journalism
Remarks:
Add following text:
This pilot project for European research grants for journalists is intended to facilitate and develop serious cross-border journalistic research at EU level. Calls for tenders will be organised with a view to selecting common investigation projects involving journalists from at least two Member States, with a cross-border or European dimension resulting from a national, regional or local perspective. The results of the journalistic investigation selected will be published in at least all of the Member States involved.

Justification:
Though more and more journalists are aware of the growing challenge of the European dimension of journalism and are willing to develop cross-border cooperation, the financial means and the necessary European framework to encourage this new generation of journalism is missing.

The EPS must be run jointly by the two institutions on the basis of an assessment report on the management and the functioning of the EPS, as well as of a working programme for the year to come. Both these documents, which will be drafted jointly by the two institutions and constitute the fundamental elements for allocation of funds for the following year, are to be presented to the budgetary authorities in time to be taken into account in the budgetary procedure.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Tasks resulting from the Commission’s prerogatives at institutional level, as provided for in Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).
Reference acts:
Add following text:
Political Declaration of 22 October 2008 «Communicating Europe in Partnership» (OJ C 13, 20.1.2009, p. 3).
Justification:
The European Public Spaces (EPS) are run jointly by the Commission and the Parliament. Therefore it makes sense to separate their budget from the budget of the Commission's representations. By creating a line within the same article greater transparency should be achieved without complicating the execution of the budget.
An additional amount is put in the reserve and will be released once there is a clear commitment on the side of the Commission to improve interinstitutional cooperation as regards the EPS

The appropriation is intended primarily to cover the provision of ..........options and involving them in a debate on this subject.
Amend text as follows:
It covers in particular activities such as:
– Debate Europe, the new step of the «Plan-D for Democracy, Dialogue and Debate», including the organisation of European Citizens' Consultations 2010,
– communication operations linked to other specific annual or multi-annual communication priorities,
– ad hoc communication operations on a national or international scale that fit in with the communication priorities,
– communication operations organised in partnership with the European Parliament and/or the Member States in order to create synergies between the means of each partner and to coordinate their information and communication activities on the European Union. One of the privileged tools to address this approach is the management partnership.
Justification:
Restore the PDB.
Public consultations involving citizens and EU policy-makers as demonstrated in the European Citizens’ Consultations (in the framework of PlanD and Debate Europe) have proven to be feasible, media attractive, to connect citizens to the European institutions and to deliver high quality insights into what citizens expect from their European Union. At least two consultations will be organised in 2010 on specific topics proposed by the European Commission to receive feedback from citizens.

This can be done by taking into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI) when implementing this budget line.

Justification:
Monitoring consumer markets through the consolidation of a scoreboard and related market studies based on the collection of data on consumer behaviour and the functioning of those markets is of outstanding importance for the development of a realistic consumer policy. Therefore, a preparatory action entitled 'Monitoring measures in the field of consumer policy' should be financed by this budget line. It would allow for the continuation of existing surveys and studies and the financing of further market studies, thus improving the quality of the Consumer Markets Scoreboard.

Pilot project: Transparency and stability in the financial markets
Remarks:
Add following text:
The purpose of the pilot project is to:
– give governments and the public a better understanding of financial derivatives.
Add following text:
The project includes:
– training on financial derivatives based on the market value of other items such as shares, indices, currencies and interest rates;
– the provision of relevant information to the public about government decisions in the area of public finances.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1995/2006 (OJ L 390, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
Justification:
It is clear from the EP Resolution (P6_TA(2008)0539) and the Commission communication COM(2009)332 that a transparent financial market is a key means of protection and prevention. The circulation of non-transparent financial derivatives was one of the causes of the recession. Conscious decisions must be made to strengthen the market and reduce the negative impact of the use of such products. This means giving those responsible for public funds the means to gain a better understanding of such products, and giving the public the means to monitor their use.

It is also intended to cover the maintenance of the ..........outbreaks of communicable diseases or other illnesses of unknown origin.
Amend text as follows:
This appropriation is intended to cover operational expenditure relating to the following target areas:
– improving surveillance of communicable diseases in the Member States,
– strengthening the scientific support provided by the Member States and the Commission,
– enhancing the preparedness of the Union against emerging threats from communicable diseases, especially hepatitis B, including threats related to intentional release of biological agents, and diseases of unknown origin, and coordinating the response,
– strengthening the relevant capacity in the Member States through training,
– communicating information and building partnerships.
Justification:
Hepatitis B is the most common cause of liver cancer worldwide and as such is the most common carcinogen after tobacco. In Europe, between 24,000 and 36,000 deaths are attributable to hepatitis B every year. If left untreated, chronic hepatitis B evolves into cirrhosis in 30% of patients and nearly half of these will die from liver failure or liver cancer. For patients who develop end-stage cirrhosis, the only possible treatment is liver transplantation. Due to lack of organs the prevention of Hepatitis B is of utmost importance.

Remarks:
After paragraph
The overall objective is to contribute to EU prosperity by ..........as well as to enhance solidarity between national health systems.
Amend text as follows:
Actions will include initiatives to increase healthy life years and promote healthy ageing; explore health’s impact on productivity and labour participation; support the reduction of inequalities between Member States and investment in health, thus contributing to the Lisbon agenda, and to productivity and growth. Actions will also enhance solidarity between health systems, including cooperation on shared challenges, thus facilitating the development of a Community framework for safe, high-quality and efficient health services. Actions should also include initiatives to evaluate, by independent organisations, the quality of service provided by emergency medical services from the moment an alert is launched by citizens (e.g. through emergency call numbers) until the victim is transferred to hospital care; the aim is to help improve emergency medical services on the basis of comparable data and the identification of best practices to be exchanged between EU Member States.
Justification:
Although many data now exist at EU level to evaluate the burden and the causes of injuries little is known about the quality of these emergency medical services provided across the EU. Few countries have legislation about maximal response and intervention times, and even less do conduct evaluations of the emergency services Conducting such an evaluation at EU level will unveil best practices and excellence centres that could help improve the safety of the some 150 million EU citizens who cross the internal EU borders every year for leisure or business.
The level of payments has to be adapted to better implement EU policies.

Justification:

The Commission has proposed a considerable increase (10.1%) to expenditures on administrative management compared to the 2009 budget. The Council cut it below the 2009 level. To better align the increase of administrative expenditure with the growth of operational expenditure, it seems useful to amend selected administrative management lines, based on relevant criteria, such as the nature of the financed activities and the implementation record.

Amend text as follows:
The appropriations foreseen in the operational budget would enable the Agency to sustain the commitment to permanent missions, notably at the southern borders of the Union (Hera, Nautilus and Poseidon), as from 2010 and to assist Member States with implementing the operational aspects of external border management, including return of third-country nationals illegally present in the Member States in accordance with common standards guaranteeing that they are returned with dignity and full respect for their human rights.2010.
Justification:
Art. 2, par. f and Art. 9, par. 1 of the COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2007/2004 establishing a European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union, underlines the importance of supporting Members in organising joint return operations.

Former Article 18 03 10
Amend text as follows:
This appropriation will provide support for Member States measures to improve the management of return in all its dimensions through the use of the concept of integrated management, taking account of Community legislation in this field, in the following areas:
– the introduction and improvement of the organisation and implementation of integrated return management by Member States,
– the enhancement of the co-operation between Member States in the framework of integrated return management and its implementation,
– the promotion of an effective and uniform application of common standards on return according to the policy development in the field, with priority for voluntary return schemes,field.
– the organisation of information campaigns in countries of origin and of transit for prospective displaced persons, refugees and asylum applicants.
Justification:
Migrants who travel by unseaworthy means put their own lives at risk. Often violations of these people’s fundamental rights are reported. Effectiveness in migratory flows requires also preventive measures particularly by enhancing information in the origin and transit countries in relation to the conditions and prerequisites for the reception of refugees, displaced persons and asylum applicants as well as the consequences of their refusal.
Voluntary return schemes should also be given priority as a means of return.
The level of payments has to be adapted to better implement EU policies.

Justification:
The cost of controlling borders, particularly those around the Mediterranean basin, is borne by just a few states. There has been a huge increase in the number of immigrants and asylum seekers landing on our shores in recent years. Reception centres in border countries are now overcrowded, meaning that immigrants are often forced to live in harsh conditions inconsistent with fundamental human rights. The current funding allocation must be increased considerably in order to ensure genuine solidarity among EU states when it comes to controlling and managing immigration.

Justification:
Action in support of victims of terrorism and their rights should be included among the Union's political priorities. The European Union must acknowledge their courage and their terrible suffering.
Now that the preparatory action in support of victims has ended, the provision of appropriate assistance to victims of terrorist acts needs to be continued by including relevant measures in the action taken by the Union in connection with terrorism prevention, preparedness and consequence management.

Remarks:
After paragraph
This appropriation is intended to cover the funding of an ..........interinstitutional server giving online access to the EU law-making process.
Amend text as follows:
It covers information to citizens about their rights of access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents specifically relating to the interinstitutional law-making process. This measure is designed to inform citizens about the principles and conditions governing access to EU documents and at the same time to give them a single tool to facilitate their access to documents relating to an interinstitutional legislative procedure and to national implementing measures. In this context, this appropriation is also intended to cover the development of the TRANS-JAI project (system hosting and system environment support, development and preparation complete with maintenance). This project is to be transferred in 2010 to the Publications Office of the European Union and incorporated into the EUR-Lex system. That system is to be rationalised to provide more transparent public access to EU legislation in accordance with the spirit and letter of the Treaties, including the Treaty of Lisbon.
Justification:
This amendment is being tabled in support of the amendments adopted in plenary in connection with the report by Michael Cashman regarding access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (proposal for a regulation repealing Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001) and concerning full respect for and facilitation of the public's right of access to documents and information concerning any given legislative procedure.
This reserve could be released once the Commission has presented to the European Parliament its plans on how to implement the outcomes of the Interinstitutional Group of Information (IGI).

Justification:
The Commission has proposed a considerable increase (10.1%) to expenditures on administrative management compared to the 2009 budget. The Council cut it below the 2009 level. To better align the increase of administrative expenditure with the growth of operational expenditure, it seems useful to amend selected administrative management lines, based on relevant criteria, such as the nature of the financed activities and the implementation record.

Justification:
The protection of the rule of Law, democracy, human rights and of freedom of speech are the cornerstone of the EU's external action. So it is compulsory to assure financial capacity of its institutions in their support.
In view of the continued difficult situation of human rights defenders in the North Caucasus, as shown by the recent killing of Estemirova in Chechnya, it is necessary to pay special attention to their situation.
The European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights remains a top priority for the European Parliament and should be allocated appropriate financial means.

Emergency response to the financial and economic crisis in developing countries
Remarks:
Add following text:
This appropriation is intended to cover emergency and short-term actions to mitigate the impact of the global financial and economic crisis on the most vulnerable and least resilient of the countries covered by Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation.
Add following text:
Activities covered by this appropriation can include measures to mitigate the social consequences of the crisis, including social safety nets, employment-creating initiatives and actions ensuring adequate social service provision.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).
Justification:
Some of the most serious effects of financial and economic crisis are felt in developing countries, many of which do not have the resources to respond to the problem. For the most vulnerable ACP countries, the Commission has proposed an "ad hoc vulnerability FLEX mechanism" financed with EUR 500 million from the EDF, but there is no provision for developing countries covered by DCI. This pilot project is intended to fill this gap.

Heading:
Pilot project: Programme for NGO-led peacebuilding activities
Remarks:
Add following text:
This appropriation, which is complementary to the capacity building activities as provided for by the Peacebuilding Partnership under the Instrument for Stability, is intended to finance a programme of NGO-led peacebuilding activities in order to support the EU’s commitments to prevent conflict and build peace outside its borders.
Add following text:
Activities to be financed under this pilot project will include: research on and analysis of specific conflicts; support for peace processes, mediation and dialogue; support to disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) processes and broader post-conflict economic development; support to local actor participation in peace settlements; civil society involvement in security sector reform (SSR), justice sector reform and transitional justice processes; promotion of conflict-sensitive development practices; international and national-level advocacy work to encourage peacebuilding and the prevention of violent conflict; the development and management of early warning systems; the promotion of the role of women in peacebuilding; unarmed civilian peacekeeping; and the deployment of professionals to sustain local actors by reducing and preventing violence, and by supporting dialogue, sustainable peace and a conflict-resilient society.
Add following text:
The pilot project could also serve as a test case for Community support for NGO-led peacebuilding activities and could thus lead to the eventual establishment of a permanent mechanism for short-, medium- and long-term financing in this area.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Pilot project within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).
Justification:
Civil society has a crucial role to play in supporting the EU to implement its policy on conflict prevention and transformation, yet only limited funds are available for NGO-led peacebuilding activities under the existing external financing instruments. Only the Instrument for Stability supports short-term (maximum 18-month) peace work by NSA and capacity building with a small amount of funds compared to the far larger amounts potentially available under other instruments – and compared to the scale of global need for activities to prevent violent conflict and build peace.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private enterprises.

This appropriation is also intended to finance confidence building measures in Georgia, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as local confidence-building and local economic rehabilitation projects in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Add following text:
This appropriation is also intended to fund research on human health and the sustainable development of Ukraine and Belarus, especially as regards improving health conditions in the regions affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
Justification:
The European Union should use experience, skills and knowledge of senior volunteer experts pooled in European Senior Services Network.
Parliament's resolution of 15.11.2007 on strengthening the European Neighbourhood Policy asks for confidence building and economic rehabilitation projects in Nagorno Karabak´h to be included to help resolve conflict.
The ENP is one of the top priorities in EU's foreign relations and appropriate financial assistance should be provided to the countries concerned. Eastern Partnership should not be funded at the expense of ongoing activities.
Support addressing health and ecological problems related to Chernobyl consequences is decreasing, whereas problems remain huge. An initiative is underway to create a coordinating and analytical Centre " Ecology and Health" in Ukraine, which is to serve as a resource of information, expertise and advocacy on health and ecology issues for Ukrainian and Belarussian communities and governments, as well as for other national and international parties involved. Research activities from this centre should be supported in accordance with the relevant rules of the Financial regulation.
This increase above PDB reflects the priorities expressed by EP in its resolutions on the “Guidelines for 2010 budget” (P6_TA-PROV(2009)0095 of 10 March) and “Mandate report” (29 June 2009).

Amend text as follows:
Cross-border cooperation on the EU’s external borders is a key priority both in the European Neighbourhood Policy and in the EU’s Strategic Partnership with Russia, as well as within the Black Sea Synergy.Russia. The adoption of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) has considerably enhanced the scope for cross-border cooperation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Under the new approach, CBC programmes established on the EU’s external border will draw on funds from both the external and internal headings of the EC budget and be implemented according to a single set of rules, the one established under the ENPI Regulation. The global amounts of the contributions from the two headings are provided in the two budget Items presented under this article.
Justification:
Cross-border cooperation should be fostered through regional cooperation within the Black Sea Synergy as well and aim at promoting regional projects among civil societies and local democracies. The European Parliament always stressed the importance of developing cross-border cooperation in the Black Sea area, in particular in the Report on a Black Sea Regional Policy Approach from January 2008.

Part of this appropriation is intended to be used, with due regard for the provisions of the Financial Regulation, for operations carried out by senior volunteer experts from the European Union who come under the ESSN (European Senior Services Network), including technical assistance, advisory services and training in selected public or private sector enterprises.
Add following text:
Appropriations under this Article are subject to evaluations as established in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation. These evaluations shall include aspects of input activities and chain of results (output, outcome, impact).

Add following text:
With the exception of humanitarian aid, and implementation aid by NGOs or by the United Nations' agencies or by impartial operators, assistance to governments should not be provided if the governments are responsible for clear worsening of the situation in the field of democracy, the rule of law and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.
Add following text:
Co-operation with Cuba will be subject to periodic evaluations of the developments observed in the areas of freedom and human rights. The European Parliament underlines the need for a permanent and deepening political dialogue on all issues, such as civil and political rights, and on structural and social reforms.
Justification:
In a region with greater social inequalities than anywhere else in the world, strongly affected by the current crisis, unremitting and increased effort is required in order to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. This priority was underlined in both Prague's joint statement EU- Rio Group and in the Lima Declaration. Populations of those countries must not suffer on account of bad governance.The increase being proposed in this amendment is fully in line with the efforts and commitment of the countries in the region towards meeting those goals, and the EU cooperation is essential if they do so.
The engagement of the European Union with Cuba should continue and be subject to the same level of vigilant political conditionality as with other countries in the world and EU assistance should seek to improve the living conditions of ordinary Cuban citizens.

Heading:
Preparatory action: EU-Asia - Integration of policy and practice
Remarks:
Add following text:
The preparatory action is intended to provide an integrative approach to the development and practice of policy for EU-Asia. This holistic approach developed by the European Institute for Asian Studies relates to activities covered by several legal bases but which are compartmentalised across many budget lines.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).
Justification:
Current global socio-economic developments reveal importance of Asia in solving problems before EU, Asia and wider world. Benefits from flows of finance, goods and services are now strained by accumulated imbalances. Affecting employment, these imbalances also have major cultural, environmental and security dimensions. The existing budget lines encourage a silo approach to policy making leading to suboptimal strategies and formulations. Cost effective, strategic programme of the EIAS integrates EU-Asia policy threads offering the results to all stakeholders.

Add following text:
In the context of climate change, the European Union needs to take the lead as regards measures to reduce the effects and causes of climate change. The exchange of good practices between the Member States in the area of energy efficiency will enable the European Union to act in a coordinated fashion, thus helping to lay down joint energy policy strategies and actions. The European Union should consider promoting energy efficiency as an instrument to combat the consequences of climate change and also stimulate the use of renewable energy resources in developing countries so as to make them less energy-dependent.
Justification:
The European Union should take the lead in anticipating on the consequences of climate change for developing countries. By means of stimulating renewable energy resources, like solar energy, developing countries may develop their economies in a sustainable way to fight climate change and to stimulate energy independence.

Justification:
Water management in development countries which was introduced in 2007 as pilot project should be continued as approved last year, as preparatory measures. Access to water is one aspect of the Millennium Development Goals, and a precondition for achieving other such as combating hunger, health and education. The impact of climate change on available water resources is becoming increasingly clear, the scarcity of water is giving rise to struggles to control resources and conflicts and is having impact in food supplies and prices.

Financial support is provided to actions in four priority areas: ..........prevention, treatment and care, with prevention as a key priority.
Amend text as follows:
This appropriation will be made available for measures carried out by the Commission. It may not be made available to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). Part of the appropriation will be provided for technical aid in recipient countries. This allocation will complement the financing role of the GFATM by ensuring that a coordinated and effective technical support mechanism is in place, resulting in effective implementation of Global Fund appropriations.
Justification:
Budget allocated to health under Investing in People is considerably lower than in the past (e.g. 2003-2006). Strengthening the overall health programmes is a must to reach the goals set. Commission support for strengthening the health work force development and for tackling the critical shortage of health workers deserves a follow-up in 2010.

Add following text:
2010 should be dedicated to financing specific actions, such as support to research networks and research institutes in developing countries. In all these projects, the consultation of developing countries' stakeholders (regional, national and local experts, scientists and institutions) and their leading role should be ensured.
Justification:
2010 will be the third year of implementation of this PA, meant to create an action program following adoption by EP of a resolution on 12.07.07 on the TRIPS Agreement and access to medicines. After launching a study in 2008 in collaboration with the WHO to identify the needs in research and development on poverty-related, tropical and neglected diseases, the EC should start supporting research networks in 2009. 2010 should see the consolidation and expansion of this program to new initiatives.

Justification:
Restore the PDB.
Development awareness actions are an essential part of the EU's development policy. Particularly, these credits cover the annual "European Development Days" in which the European Parliament is an active and supportive participant. Appropriations need to be restored to ensure these actions continue at an effective level.

Remarks:
After paragraph
As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is ..........and, to that end, the EU’s financial assistance is essential.
Add following text:
This appropriation is intended to further financially support and accelerate the work of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP), in addition to the EUR 3.5 million granted from the EU budget to the CMP in 2008 and 2009 (EUR 1.5 million and EUR 2 million respectively) and in line with the relevant European Parliament report of June 2008 on missing persons in Cyprus and the European Parliament resolution of March 2007 on the same matter.
Add following text:
As regards the tasks of the above committee, it is useful to note that the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of remains of missing persons has been running since August 2006 and, to date, 539 sets of remains have been exhumed, 349 of which have been analysed at the CMP anthropological laboratory in an attempt to make presumptive identifications. The first positive identifications were made at the end of June 2007 and, to date, 172 sets of remains of individuals exhumed as part of the CMP project have been identified through this process and returned to their families. There are still 1500 missing persons (Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and others) and, given that these persons have been considered missing for 35-45 years, there is an urgent need to speed up the work of the CMP, as the number of living relatives of the missing persons and the number of persons who could testify about secret mass graves, etc., is gradually decreasing.
Justification:
No matter how remarkable the work of CMP is, it is a common conclusion that its works are moving in a very slow pace. The latter is detrimental to the relatives of the missing who are still alive, as they are getting very old as the time goes by. Continuation of the EU´s political and financial assistance is a prerequisite for the continuation and speeding up of the works of the CMP, as more expenses are needed for further human resources and the necessary technical equipment.

Heading:
Preparatory action for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas
Remarks:
Add following text:
The appropriationwill be used for supporting preservation and restoration projects for valuable cultural and religious objects (churches, mosques, libraries, museums, monuments, etc.) damaged or destroyed by war or other political conflicts. Appropriations may be used to support public organisations as well as NGOs conducting projects in this field. In this context, however, it is important to recognise the key role that NGOs often play in these preservation and restoration projects.
Add following text:
Particular attention should be given to projects that support the confidence-building process by involving different ethnic and religious groups in joint projects and that support local education and development of restoration knowledge and skills of high cultural quality.
Add following text:
Best restoration practice must serve as a guideline when selecting objects, and, in the selection and evaluation of proposals and contractors, restoration experts must be allowed to participate.
Add following text:
Experiences from the 2008-2009 pilot project should now serve to develop a wider approach for preserving and restoring cultural heritage in conflict areas both in the Western Balkans, through the IPA programme, and in other areas.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1525/2007 (OJ L 343, 27.12.2007, p. 9).
Justification:
This project has been going on for two years as a pilot project and the development has been successful. The Commission should therefore develop this further, including proposing a permanent legal base. This should be done more generally than in the pilot project and include also other conflict areas than the Balkans (Palestine, Afghanistan etc) where this kind of projects are numerous. For the Western Balkans it could be done by including restoring cultural heritage as a specific aim in the IPA programme but a more general and specific programme might be needed for the rest of the world.

Add following text:
The Commission, when implementing this budget line, should take duly into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI).
Justification:
The EU's interinstitutional cooperation in the area of communication policy needs to be improved in order to make the EU and its institutions and policies better known to citizens. This can be done by taking into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI) when implementing this budget line.
This reserve could be released once the Commission has presented to the European Parliament its plans on how to implement the outcomes of the Interinstitutional Group of Information (IGI).

Heading:
Pilot Project on an interinstitutional system identifying long-term trends facing the EU
Remarks:
Add following text:
This pilot project is to set up an interinstitutional system identifying long-term trends on major policy issues facing the EU. This should provide common analyses of probable outcomes on major issues to be available for policy-makers; this is to be co-ordinated between the European Parliament (involving policy departments), the Commission and the Council, using the already well established European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) as a core for the system. This system should be rapidly established to be in full operation by 2012.
Justification:
– Drawing attention to the fact that the European Parliament has already prepared a long term analysis document for the period 2009-2019, given to the incoming President of the EP
– Drawing attention to the fact that the incoming President of the European Commission has set a long-term 2020 target in his document "Political Guidelines for the Next Commission"
– Building on the Millan Mon report (paragraph 25); Drawing attention to the National Intelligence Council (NIC) report entitled "Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World", and its long-term analysis given to incoming US Presidents
BUDG has taken over and modified the amendment tabled by the ECR group.

Remarks:
Add following text:
EUR 3 735 263 of the reserve may be released if the Commission:
– provides clear, concise and intelligible lists of the topics of all studies carried out by external providers and the individual firms or names of these providers in the period 2004-2008;
– provides the same list for any other external advice requested, identifying the firms orindividual advisers and the specific issue for which advice was sought.
Add following text:
EUR 1 867 632 of the reserve may be released as soon as the Commission has submitted its position on the revision of the legal basis for the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and thus makes it possible for negotiations between Parliament and the Council to continue on the basis of the results already attained.
Justification:
The information provided so far does not provide Parliament with a sufficient overlook over the activities of third parties in this field.
The revision of OLAF's legal basis has been pending for a long time. Parliament delivered its opinion on the subject at first reading as long ago as November 2008. The Czech Presidency of the Council had to cancel the planned consultations because the Commission did not submit the requisite working document.

The reserve can be released if the Commission's CORDIS database is overhauled by June 2010 to make it user-friendly, in the same way as has been done for agricultural databases. In its existing form, the CORDIS database necessitates training in order to be able to identify recipients of funding.
Add following text:
The creation of a specific appropriation for reimbursing public transport season tickets is a modest but crucial measure to confirm the EU institutions' commitment to reducing their CO2 emissions in line with their EMAS policy and the agreed climate change objectives.
Justification:
Restore the PDB. This amendment proposes to restore the cuts applied by Council.
Improving Internet presentation will promote transparency and closeness to the citizen.

European Schools must comply with the principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunities.
Justification:
The European schools have to fulfil the principles of antidiscrimination and equal opportunities as laid down in article 13 of the Treaty of the euroepan Union, existing directives to implement this article and the UN conventions on the rights of persons with disabilities. Therefore the European schools will have to change their practices and internal rules, which creates barriers for access for children with handicaps.

Erasmus public administration programme
Remarks:
Add following text:
This preparatory action is intended to ensure continued implementation of the measures funded under the Erasmus public administration programme pilot project and to explore how those measures might be taken further.
Legal basis:
Add following text:
Preparatory action within the meaning of Article 49(6) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ L 248, 16.9.2002, p. 1).
Justification:
The great success of the Erasmus public administration programme pilot project calls for its continuation in the form of a preparatory action. In its resolution of 10 March 2009 on the guidelines for the 2010 budget procedure, Parliament highlighted the need for the Union to invest further in Erasmus policies and stated that «a substantial increase of the global financial envelope allocated to all Erasmus lines is needed».

Add following text:
This appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure related to the services of specialists and computational linguists for translating the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR), as well as other academic works in the field of European contract law.
Add following text:
Part of this appropriation is also intended to finance additional translations of EU documents which are of relevance for implementation of EU law in national legislation or are of political importance (e.g. progress reports), as called for by some national parliaments.
Justification:
This amendment is an Institution-wide cross-cutting in the field of translation services. The rapporteur stresses that, during certain times, there is free translation capacity that could be more efficiently used, which is also confirmed by the Court of Auditors.
A reserve of 5% (calculated on the final amounts approved for these lines, taking into account any other amendments) is introduced. It can be released when the Institutions present a new, improved Code of Conduct, currently purely voluntary, for cooperation that demonstrates tangible efficiency gains and further sharing of free capacities, thus reducing overall costs and dependance on external translations, and, also, ensures that unnecessary ("parallel") translation work is avoided and that texts/part of texts already translated must be provided to all translators in order to ensure consistency.
The DCFR is one of the most important future legislative proposals and this appropriation is also intended to cover expenditure related to the services of specialists and computational linguists for translating the Draft Common Frame of Reference (DCFR).
BUDG has taken over and modified the amendments tabled by the rapporteur, the EPP group and the JURI committee.
