A.   INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed necessary for the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

—	The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all revenue and expenditure of the Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.

—	The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.

—	The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year; borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.

—	In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euros and the accounts shall be presented in euros.

—

The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. Revenue and expenditure are entered in full in the budget without any adjustment against each other.

—	The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to prevent any confusion between appropriations.

—	The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

—	The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts.

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 165 605 645 322 in commitment appropriations and EUR 148 198 939 744 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of + 3,05 % and of + 2,37 % respectively by comparison with the 2018 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 148 198 939 744. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Germany, Netherlands and Sweden for which the rate of call for the period 2014-2020 has been fixed at 0,15 %) whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6512 %. Traditional own resources account for 14,49 % of the financing of the budget for 2019. The VAT resource accounts for 11,97 % and the GNI resource for 72,26 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 894 392 136.

The own resources needed to finance the 2019 budget account for 0,89 % of the total GNI.

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2019 budget.

107 094 715 672	105 143 181 650	78 279 403 345,79

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,6512 %.

They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 608/2014.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget that must be presented by the Commission within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts.

Financial year 2019	Financial year 2018	Financial year 2017

Remarks

Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark and Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, grant full exemption to these Member States from supporting the financial consequences of some specific policies in the area of freedom, security and justice, with the exception of the related administrative costs. They can therefore obtain an adjustment to the own resources paid for each year in which they do not participate.

Each Member State’s contribution to the adjustment mechanism is calculated by applying to the budget expenditure resulting from this operation or policy the scale of the aggregate gross national income and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003 of 15 July 2003 on the harmonisation of gross national income at market prices (OJ L 181, 19.7.2003, p. 1).

p.m.	p.m.	38 820 698,30

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel. Unused revenue and appropriations deriving from this revenue still available on 31 December in any given year, as well as amounts recovered, shall be carried over automatically to the following year. Those appropriations may not be transferred to other budget items.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2017 will be used for research in 2019. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2019 is EUR 39 654 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with point (b) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 05 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Legal basis

Financial year 2019	Financial year 2018	Financial year 2017
p.m.	p.m.	21 587 876,20

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time those countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

This article may accommodate, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, assigned revenue which is used to provide additional appropriations to finance expenditure to which this revenue is assigned.

Legal basis

p.m.	p.m.	38 820 698,30

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel. Unused revenue and appropriations deriving from this revenue still available on 31 December in any given year, as well as amounts recovered, shall be carried over automatically to the following year. Those appropriations may not be transferred to other budget items.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2017 will be used for research in 2019. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2019 is EUR 39 654 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with point (b) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 05 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

Financial year 2019	Financial year 2018	Financial year 2017
p.m.	p.m.	21 587 876,20

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in this section to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time the countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

This article may accommodate, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, assigned revenue which is used to provide additional appropriations to finance expenditure to which this revenue is assigned.

Legal basis

For the legal basis, see remarks for Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in this section.

Remarks

Macro-financial assistance (‘MFA’) is a form of financial aid extended by the Union to partner countries experiencing a balance of payments crisis. MFA is designed for countries geographically, economically and politically close to the Union. These include candidate and potential candidate countries, countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy and, in certain circumstances, other third countries. In principle, MFA is only available to countries benefiting from an International Monetary Fund programme.

MFA is exceptional in nature and is mobilised on a case-by-case basis to help countries dealing with serious balance-of-payments difficulties. Its objective is to restore a sustainable external financial situation, while encouraging economic adjustments and structural reforms.

While MFA can take the form of medium/long-term loans or grants, or a combination of these, this article only covers the grant element of MFA operations.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover costs incurred in relation to MFA operations, and in particular: (i) costs incurred to conduct operational assessments in the beneficiary countries to obtain reasonable assurances on the functioning of administrative procedures and financial circuits, (ii) costs related to the implementation of the ‘Better Regulation’ guidelines, in particular for ex-post evaluations of MFA operations, and (iii) costs to cover comitology requirements.

The Commission will inform the budgetary authority regularly of the macro-financial situation of the beneficiary countries and will report extensively on the implementation of MFA on a yearly basis.

Any revenue entered in Article 5 5 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with point (a) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover payments in respect of commitments remaining to be settled from previous years.

Even though the end of the commitment period has been reached, the facilities have to be operated for several years during which time payments will be needed for investments and in order to honour guarantee obligations. Therefore reporting and monitoring requirements will continue until the end of the facility periods.

In order to honour its obligations, the Commission may draw on its cash resources to service the debt provisionally. In this case, Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 implementing Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom on the system of the European Communities own resources (OJ L 130, 31.5.2000, p. 1) applies.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, these amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (e), (f) and (g) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget of the Union.

Any revenue from the contributions from candidate countries and, if applicable, the Western Balkan potential candidates, for participating in Union programmes and entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with points (e), (f) and (g) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation.

Any revenues and repayments generated on Trust Accounts entered in Article 5 2 3 of the statement of revenue will be returned to the general budget of the Union or transferred to the succeeding financial instruments under the Union equity instruments for research and innovation under Horizon 2020 or the Equity Facility for Growth under COSME, as the case may be, in accordance with the Financial Regulation and Regulations (EU) No 1287/2013 and (EU) No 1290/2013.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises, in particular that of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to encourage entrepreneurship and foster the creation and growth of SMEs.

The implemented measures will include:

—	networks bringing together a variety of stakeholders,

—	market replication projects,

—	policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries,

—	policies to foster entrepreneurship,

—	information sharing, dissemination, awareness raising and advisory services to increase SME’s competitiveness and help them participate in the single market and beyond,

—	support to joint actions of Member States or regions, as well as other measures under the COSME programme.

The Union will provide support to activities such as the Enterprise Europe Network and entrepreneurship promotion. It will also support projects concerned with the first applications or market replication of techniques, practices or products (e.g. new business concepts for consumer goods) of Union relevance that have already been technically demonstrated with success but, owing to residual risk, have not yet significantly penetrated the market. Those projects will be designed to promote wider use within the participating countries and facilitate market uptake.

Projects will also seek to improve the framework conditions including through capacity building in clusters and other business networks notably with regard to support SME internationalisation in order to ensure that Union enterprises are competitive and sustainable, including in the tourism sector, by supporting coherence and consistency in implementation, as well as informed policy-making at Union level. In addition, projects will be put in place to support the implementation of the Single Market Strategy and the Start-up Initiative. Support actions, directly linked to the achievement of these objectives are also considered for funding: meetings (including workshops), studies, information and publications and participation in study groups.

In relation to gender equality, projects to promote the position of female entrepreneurs will receive particular attention in order to help overcome gender-based hurdles women may face and to attain an equal representation of male and female entrepreneurs throughout the Union.

Sustainable tourism activities will receive a special focus with initial priority given to soft mobility, cycling networks, eco-tourism and nature protection. Accessibility for all, particularly for people with reduced mobility and for socially disadvantaged people is also of high importance in this context.

The Union will coordinate, promote and support actions for sustainable tourism, such as:

—	preservation of long-term sustainable tourism resources through protection of natural, cultural, historical and industrial heritage,

—	coordination and support for access to sustainable tourism information and services for less-advantaged citizens living in poverty, as well as for persons with reduced mobility,

—	cross-border coordination of European cycling networks, together with rail and long-distance bus information and services.

The ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ programme aims to encourage European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best practices, and the creation of valuable networks, partnerships, companies and jobs.

Due to the currently difficult economic situation it is indispensable to support European enterprises, in particular young innovative start-ups and female entrepreneurs, and to foster entrepreneurship by assigning enough funds to programmes like the programme for the competitiveness of enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (COSME). It is particularly important to provide support and incentives for the most modern and innovative sectors, such as the sharing economy and the digital economy. The Union needs to provide support for young entrepreneurs in these sectors and to develop and introduce instruments that will allow innovative start-ups to compete with rivals from third countries on world markets.

In particular the programme ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ has been very successful, efficient and effective in contributing successfully to fighting unemployment and supporting robust start-ups across Europe. With regard to under-representation of women among entrepreneurs, attention is paid to involving young female entrepreneurs in the programme in order to encourage them to pursue their entrepreneurial career and to gain experience in how to overcome gender-specific hurdles they may face.

The financial means for the ‘Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs’ programme should be maintained in particular due to the following reasons:

—	the programme helps fostering European entrepreneurship, the sharing of knowledge and best-practices as well as the creation of valuable networks and partnerships,

—	the programme is very successful and has shown an increasing number of participants over the last years which is expected to increase further,

—	the programme effectively tackles the problem of unemployment as it helps people without work to become self-employed and existing SME to create jobs and increase their turnover by expanding and/or internationalising their business,

—	the number of applications exceeds by far the possibilities the Commission can fulfil with the financial means currently available.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, those amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (b) (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

Remarks

This appropriation is to be used to improve access to finance SMEs, including companies of female entrepreneurs, in the form of equity and debt, in their start-up, growth and transfer phase.

A loan guarantee facility (LGF) shall provide counter-guarantees, direct guarantees and other risk sharing arrangements for debt financing which shall reduce the particular difficulties that viable SMEs face in accessing finance either due to their perceived higher risk or their lack of sufficient available collateral and for securitisation of SME debt finance portfolios.

An equity facility for growth (EFG) shall allow investments in risk capital funds which invest in SMEs in the expansion and growth stage, whilst taking a gender-sensitive and non-discriminatory approach, and in particular in those operating cross-borders. The possibility shall exist to invest in early stage funds in conjunction with the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. In cases of joint investments in multi-stage funds, investments will be provided on a pro-rata basis from the EFG of COSME and the equity facility for RDI under Horizon 2020. Support from the EFG shall be (a) either directly by the European Investment Fund (EIF) or other entities entrusted with the implementation on behalf of the Commission or (b) by funds-of-funds or investment vehicles investing across borders.

Tourism is Europe’s third-largest industry. The Union travel and tourism sector employs almost 25 million people (directly and indirectly) and visitors generate EUR 351 billion per year. The tourism industry generates 9,7 % of total EU-28 GDP, a figure which is forecast to rise to 10,4 % by 2025.

Last year more than 455 million tourists came to the Union. Tourism is part of daily life; it is part and parcel of European values. In view of recent crises, and at a time when there is an increasing threat of global terrorism, there is a greater need for tourism, which is an industry that promotes peace.

For the sustainable development and protection of this highly economically important sector, closer co-operation is required between the European Institutions and Member State governments, as well as maximum citizen involvement.

There are already two programmes, namely the European Capital of Culture and the European Capital of Sport. The evaluations made of the European Capital of Culture programme, as well as public consultation on its future after 2019, have revealed that it has become one of the most ambitious cultural initiatives in Europe and one of the most appreciated by European citizens. That programme has generated economic growth in the majority of the cities involved. In 2013 in Marseille (France) there were close to 11 million tourists, while Pécs (Hungary) recorded a 27 % increase in hotel room occupancy. Above all, the programme has created communities and the majority of the cities involved have found a new basis for their development plans. This has also created growth in the regions in which the cities are located.

It is crucial to uphold those values and disseminate them as widely as possible. A ‘European Capital of Tourism’ could be an excellent vehicle for that. Such a programme would aim to promote the rich tourism offering of European countries; increase a sentiment of shared local tourism-related values; strengthen tourism-generated development in cities, their surroundings and their regions; enhance the image of cities that are awarded this title and ultimately raise the profile of their regions.

It would also be important for cities holding the title to seek to promote social inclusion and equal opportunities and to do their utmost to ensure the broadest possible involvement of all the components of civil society in the preparation and implementation of tourism-related programmes, with special attention being paid to young people and marginalised and disadvantaged groups.

The award of the title should be based on a specially created tourism-related programme, which should have a strong European dimension. That tourism development programme should be part of a long-term strategy having a sustainable impact on local economic, cultural and social development.

Because of the strong regional dimension of tourism, it is crucial, alongside the title ‘European Capital of Tourism’, for it to be possible to give awards to cities and regions that have reached unique, innovation based results in the tourism sector.

Accordingly, a ‘European Tourism Award’ could be given by an independent board of experts in different categories (for example: sustainable tourism, digital tourism, health tourism) established by the European Parliament, the Commission and the Committee of Regions. In this process the network of tourism stakeholders which created the Tourism Manifesto for Growth and Jobs, with the support of civil society organisations, could be an excellent partner.

The general aim of the preparatory action is to:

—	give local tourism its own profile, and strengthen links between cities and their regions;

—	establish the ‘European Capital of Tourism’ within the existing institutional framework alongside the Cultural and Sport Capital programmes with their effective operating methods; identify common values, harness potential synergies and avoid duplication;

—	increase the attractiveness of cities and regions, which can lead to economic growth and job creation.

The operational objectives are:

—	to make a maximum of three ‘European Capital of Tourism’ awards a year;

—	to lay down conditions and categories for the ‘European Tourism Award’;

—	to involve Member States on a voluntary basis at the outset and initiate a structural dialogue with the Council;

—	to establish the professional body, the preparatory committee to assess the bids, in co-operation with the European Parliament, the Commission and the Committee of Regions;

—	as regions are the main beneficiaries of Union funding, to look into the possibility of financial contributions for the sustainability of the programme;

—	to create an annual cost-effectiveness plan for the number of titles and awards.

Capitalising on the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, this action will showcase and promote the diversity and richness of European heritage and cultural manifestations (UNESCO World Heritage sites, music and food festivals, folklore and spirituality) as a reason to visit Europe, the continent of culture and creativity.

The activities carried out under this preparatory action could be linked to the theme of ‘Culture Europe - Promoting Europe’s treasures’, with individual countries, regions or macro-regions presenting their distinct heritage and cultural assets to a broad international audience.

The preparatory action builds on and continues the Destination Brand Europe pilot project, but it proposes an enlarged scope and an increased budget. The action will also include promoting less well-known but equally interesting locations and tourism sites, with the ultimate aim of diversifying the range of European destinations, creating new tourism products and supporting less developed regions.

VisitEurope.com, a portal developed with Union support, could be a suitable platform for promotional and marketing activities. Additionally, the ‘360° European Wonders’ app presented by the Commission in 2017 could be integrated into the promotional and marketing strategy.

Ultimately, the action will raise awareness around responsible and sustainable development as regards cultural heritage and the protection of resources for future generations.

The main objectives and actions include:

—	preserving Europe’s lead position among world tourist destination by promoting European cultural heritage;

—	developing and endorsing promotional and marketing channels (online and offline) that will enable destinations to maximise the reach of their tourism offer;

—	diversifying the range of European destinations by promoting less visible secondary destinations (so-called ‘hidden gems’) as new tourism products;

—	researching and identifying a number of well-developed and accessible alternative tourist destinations with high potential demand and appeal both internally and in overseas markets;

—	engaging with various stakeholders across Member States to raise the visibility of cultural heritage sites;

—	providing support to industry partners, especially SMEs in the hospitality and transport sectors, to develop tourism products that incorporate these alternative destinations into their travel packages.

The World Bridge Tourism pilot project was initiated in the 2015 budget. The main aim of the project was to ensure that Europe should benefit from world bridge tourism by increasing the GDP of the tourism sector. At the same time, it will bring about significant economic growth, including the creation of sustainable employment opportunities.

The preparatory action focuses on China as the fastest-growing tourism source market in the world. As stated in the pilot project, Chinese tourists’ propensity to travel abroad is expected to continue rising in the coming decades. Beyond Asia and the Pacific, Europe is the largest destination region for Chinese travellers. As Europe has a prominent place on the Chinese ‘wish list’, it is necessary to think about how Member States could host Chinese tourists more effectively. This will involve mutual understanding and continuous and sustainable training of employees throughout Europe in the tourism sector.

The preparatory action will increase flows of Chinese visitors by facilitating business between European tourism providers and Chinese buyers.

2018 was EU-China Tourism Year, during the preparatory period for which the World Bridge Tourism project had a crucial role.

The main objectives and actions include:

—	identifying best practices and analysing the results of the pilot project;

—	continuing the awareness campaign among tour operators and agencies;

—	active involvement in the EU-China Tourism Year 2018;

—	enlarging the scope of the project by involving Chinese cultural institutes (e.g. the Confucius Institute) and other public outreach stakeholders;

—

increasing involvement of social networks and focusing on digitisation, and providing incentives for bringing tourist products and services into line with the needs of Chinese tourists, including the use of marketing tools (websites and flyers in Chinese) and promoting them on Chinese social networks (e.g. Weibo).

Knowledge and skills are crucial not only for the personal welfare of each citizen, but also for sustainable development and economic growth. It is therefore important to offer a perspective to people coming from countries in economic and social crisis, especially young people, so that they have an opportunity to create added value not only for themselves, but also for the general public.

It is therefore important to empower young migrants and refugees to gain access to knowledge and to develop skills they are able to use and leverage when they are back in their home countries.

This will make it possible for them not only to establish a livelihood, but also potentially to become entrepreneurs, build up their own businesses and create employment.

The core of this initiative will be targeted mentoring programmes from different organisations, such as civil protection and community services, as well as companies (including local suppliers). Elements of a dual-training system would help beneficiaries to identify the specific needs of organisations or companies on the ground.

The legal situation regarding the waiting period for taking up an economic activity differs considerably from Member State to Member State. To make the preparatory action a success, it will therefore also be necessary to conduct a review of current national legal frameworks and to identify best practices which could be promoted in order to speed up procedures, so that young migrants can take advantage of the proposed programmes as soon as possible upon arrival.

Increasing SMEs’ internationalisation capacity is crucial for European competitiveness. 99 % of Union enterprises are SMEs; most of them face many difficulties when they try to establish an internationalisation strategy, especially vis-à-vis third markets where they face strong — and sometimes unfair — competition. In the last three years, only 29 % of micro enterprises, 43 % of small enterprises and 59 % of medium-sized enterprises have exported to another Member State. Many SMEs do not have the required skills to deal with multinational companies, attend international fairs or set up an e-commerce infrastructure.

This challenge could be overcome by encouraging SMEs to combine and work together on specific internationalisation projects. In the past few years, experiences have shown the potential that cooperation among SMEs offers for enhancing their internationalisation. The added value of cooperation has also been acknowledged by the Commission (e.g. in the SBA review). On the basis of national best practices, the Commission has introduced the concept of ‘business network’, defining it as ‘a form of inter-firm cooperation that allows companies, located also in different regions or countries, to collaborate together on a basis of common development objectives expressed in a cooperation agreement/contract. The companies decide to join their strengths, share information and create synergies to become more innovative and competitive on the domestic and international markets, while keeping their autonomy, not creating a separate legal entity. This cooperation model is suitable for any kind of business activity and sector’.

Internationalisation represents a key component for European growth and competiveness. Taking into account the fact that the difficulties SMEs have in going international, not only in third markets but also in the European internal market, are often due to their limited size, stimulating cooperation and encouraging SMEs to join forces in order to operate on the basis of a better structure while maintaining their entrepreneurial autonomy should be tested and developed. In its Communication ‘Small Business, Big World — a new partnership to help SMEs seize global opportunities’ (2011), the Commission pointed out the importance of promoting clusters and networks for SME internationalisation. The Enterprise Europe Network plays an essential role in supporting SMEs’ internationalisation by matching needs and reducing costs.

In this context, a trial could be launched at Union level to test the impact of SMEs from different Member States joining forces and starting to work together on strengthening internationalisation capacity and enhancing presence on markets in third countries. In particular, the trial could: (1) test the added value for internationalisation of combining SMEs, (2) promote a culture of cooperation and networking activities among SMEs, (3) disseminate this cooperation/networking model as a best practice and as a tangible way for SMEs to enter new markets, by showing that by working together on common internationalisation plans they can greatly improve their international performance.

Networks should be composed of at least three SMEs from three different Member States. Applicants should submit a proposal for an internationalisation strategy, providing a detailed description of the purpose of the collaboration and of the strategic objectives. The trial should cover the costs of the start-up phase for SME network internationalisation activities, such as:

—	identifying international markets that SME network members wish to enter to market their products;

—	sharing knowledge and information about markets and clients;

—	developing coordinated promotion, marketing and sales strategies (including joint digital marketing strategies/ e-commerce infrastructure);

—	selecting marketing and distribution channels;

—	creating a common brand;

—	identifying fairs, exhibitions and national and international business events to promote and market the SMEs’ products;

—	developing high-quality after-sale assistance and increasing presence on international markets;

—	improving product quality, in particular through the exchange of good practices and know-how between SME network members;

—	sharing consultancy costs.

Other activities

With a budget of EUR 1 500 000, the pilot project will support 30 SME networks in developing a common internationalisation action plan. Each network will receive financial support of between EUR 30 000 and EUR 50 000. The minimum requirement is three SMEs per network. The action will cover at least 90 European SMEs.

Industrial modernisation is critical to improving the Union’s competitiveness and is therefore an absolute cornerstone of its policy. In this regard, the ability of industrial companies not only to develop but also to absorb and successfully implement new technologies is crucial. However, this remains a big challenge for many companies.

Different stages can be identified in the process of developing and deploying new technologies. There is mounting evidence that market failure occurs at the demonstration stage (TRL 6-8) of the innovation process: between applied research, prototyping and market entry. Testing and validation of prototypes in an industrial environment and certifying new applications remain both very costly and highly uncertain. In many cases this prevents, or at least substantially delays, market uptake of very promising innovations from research and industry, including those previously financed by the Union. On the one hand, industrial companies very often do not have all the necessary equipment and skills to carry out further prototyping activities, validation tests, certification procedures, cost comparisons and other post-prototyping activities needed before full production and market launch. These activities are usually categorised as so-called ‘non-recurrent costs’ and contribute to what is commonly known as the ‘Valley of Death’. On the other hand, very few regions have all the demonstration capabilities in place to help companies carry out the full spectrum of post-prototyping activities in a specific technology domain.

There is a strong need and rationale to establish an inter-regional innovation structure with pan-European shared demonstration facilities (industry commons) accessible by industry and able to speed up technology deployment in and by industrial companies. Shared demonstration facilities can be established by connecting and upgrading the complementary facilities which already exist in the regions, or by creating new shared facilities if needed.

In the past, and in ongoing activities under Vanguard Initiative (VI) pilot projects (www.s3vanguardinitiative.eu), various regions have found that setting up ‘shared demonstration facilities’ usually involves a non-profitable component. This funding gap occurs when setting up shared facilities and meeting initial operating costs. Once this funding gap is closed, industrial demonstration activities can take place. If they are successful, companies can then upscale their production, generate revenues in the marketplace and hence generate growth and jobs. In order to speed up technology deployment and industrial modernisation, stronger public intervention is therefore needed to unlock innovation and growth potential. At the moment, there is no suitable cross-regional, pan-European instrument to support very much needed investments in innovation infrastructure.

In this context, this preparatory action will complement and further expand the ongoing activities under the VI and the Thematic Smart Specialisation Platform for Industrial Modernisation (TSSP IM). While the TSSP IM and its inter-regional partnerships, such as VI, are instrumental in detecting and initiating inter-regional collaboration for technology uptake, this action will support the development of investments, operations and services, and defray coordination costs for shared demonstration facilities serving a customer base of industrial organisations throughout Europe.

This preparatory action will be particularly important in generating input for the (re)designing of various Union policies, including innovation (FP9), investment (EFSI) and cohesion policy. The action will identify the scope and limitations of existing funds and financial instruments for ultimately stimulating the uptake of market-creating technologies and the promotion of follow-up investments by the private sector, including through close or closer cooperation with industry associations, thereby providing useful input for policy makers.

This preparatory action will focus on the specific VI pilot project for shared demonstration facilities for ‘High Performance Production through 3D Printing’ (3DP). The 3DP pilot project is among the most advanced, but it faces a huge investment challenge for several of its industrial applications. 3D printing has also been identified as a disruptive technology significantly impacting a broad range of industrial sectors.

Specifically, the preparatory action will focus on the following activities:

(1)

setting up an operational platform of connected demonstration facilities between regions by, inter alia:

—	connecting demonstration facilities to form a virtual support platform;

—	monitoring the provision of know-how, equipment and services to industry, ensuring broad sectoral coverage;

—	if needed, expanding the network of connected facilities to improve industrial and/or geographical coverage;

—	setting up a network of accredited service providers throughout Europe (for support, training, certification, etc. within the networked demonstration facilities);

(2)

attracting industrial demonstration projects via the platform by, inter alia:

—	interacting with key stakeholders;

—	promoting the platform and identifying opportunities;

—	further developing 3DP demonstration cases and use cases, creating new value chains;

—	identifying the specific coordination costs and investment support needs;

—	communicating and working with a wider audience, including making use of the TSSP IM;

—	working on synergies between the relevant pilot project and related initiatives;

—	gaining specific knowledge on funding issues to address specific investment needs;

(3)

providing an overview of specific proposals for changes to Union policies, in consultation with the Commission.

For proper implementation and evaluation, a timeframe of three years (2018-2020) is needed, including an annual update of the roadmap by a strategy board that will also include Members of the European Parliament.

This preparatory action will create a business-enabling network for SMEs to seize circular economy business opportunities. It will advance a new type of environmentally friendly industry, where the worthless is turned into valuable by making full use of all materials, including side flows and waste.

The major chemical-using industries, businesses and associated supply chains in different parts of Europe (notably in Finland, France, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom) attempt to create new business out of side flows and wastes. Side flows can be recovered and used as raw materials in new industries. By refining raw materials in the Union, most added value is created in the single market, thus benefitting European economies. This will create jobs and benefit the environment.

The Cir©Lean target group is export-orientated industrial service SMEs which are willing and able and have an international outlook. Cir©Lean will build a systematic, long-term business-enabling network for Union-based SMEs by utilising cross-border, cross-sector and cross-industry knowledge and by developing innovative circular economy business models. The action will help SMEs find ways to increase the value of (currently unidentified) waste and residues by turning them into valuable products to be sold in both the domestic and international markets. The action will enhance industrial symbiosis by increasing the degree of processing of residual waste and landfill and generate new residual waste business.

New business models will be created in cross-border, cross-sector and cross-industry Open Innovation Business workshops where SMEs, primary industries, business developers, educators, researchers, authorities and financiers pool their skills. The Sustainability Assessment Tool developed in Finland will be applied in this work. The workshops will contribute to the development of new knowledge for all participants, creating new commercial products and services that span national borders.

Approximately 20 SMEs will participate in the Cir©Lean preparatory action. As a milestone for the action, 100 SMEs will participate in professional development activities, and, as part of the action, they will gain new contacts and establish cross-border cooperation. When the action is completed, exports will increase and the number of SMEs with new business models will grow. New long-term and sustainable contacts and partnerships with permanent cooperation structures will be established as a result.

Cir©Lean will set up a circular economy business-enabling network that will continue after the preparatory action ends.

Remarks

Digitalisation is a major current and future challenge in Europe. However, it also represents an opportunity for the creation of new job types. These require in many cases programming skills which should be further promoted among young people, since they are often not part of school curricula. The European Union should encourage young people to take an interest in technology and programming and help to develop their skills in order to prepare them for the future job market.

Organising a programming contest at Union level will have the following advantages:

—	promoting an interest in programming and technologies and related skills;

—	providing an incentive for young people to develop programming skills through game-based learning;

—	promoting the European idea.

Framework of the programming contest:

—	implementation in the context of the EU Code Week 2019 and 2020, with the EU’s objective being to involve at least 50 % of schools in the Union and Western Balkans by 2020; EU Code Week provides an existing infrastructure and context;

—	a special initiative should be set up (possibly called a ‘createathon’) for talented young people who could be given tasks such as developing an app;

—	a basic course in programming should be provided in this context at Member State level;

—	cooperation with industry with a view to gaining first-hand experience of programming activities.

Remarks

Youth unemployment remains a significant challenge for Member States. As of February 2018 it stood at 15,9 % in the EU28 and 17,7 % in the euro area. The aim of the initial pilot project was to contribute to reducing youth unemployment through the provision of worker co-operatives by establishing entrepreneurship and sustainable job opportunities for young people to both work in and own part of the company simultaneously, as well as establishing best practice in the area for the Union as a whole.

The pilot project was launched in the three Member States with the most experience in this field, and included objectives such as improving knowledge of the co-operative business concept, guiding students in implementing their own ideas and helping them start up businesses in the form of a co-operative, providing training and internships/apprenticeships in co-operatives and examining how to create synergies with related Union programmes.

With the preparatory action it is now hoped to continue to build on the impact of the project in these three countries and to extend actions to other Member States still struggling with high youth unemployment, such as Greece and Spain.

Remarks

Tourism is a key sector for economic development and job creation in Europe. Tourism bodies are in a never-ending dispute over a unified classification system for hotels, restaurants and other facilities. As the needs and expectations of consumers evolved, consequently stimulating supply in the hotel sector, it became essential to regulate this area of activity by adopting measures to protect the rights and interests of consumers.

However, consumers’ perceptions often do not match what they receive owing to insufficient and ineffective communication.

This project will draw up:

—

A framework for comprehensively mapping the existing public and private initiatives (star systems, certification schemes, etc.) for tourism that will harmonise the classification system in terms of accuracy and how up-to-date the information is, and will bring transparency and consistency to service quality evaluation and performance;

—	A framework for the content of information provided by travel agencies, tour operators, online booking sites and review sites; the information provided to consumers should be examined, compared and compatible with Union level criteria for the initiatives in question;

—

A framework for trans-national cooperation between public authorities and industries to improve the content of ‘terms and conditions’ and ensure a fair ‘agreement’ between the service provider and the tourist; the agreement should specify, among other things, the payment conditions and the rights of the tourist, especially in cases where the contracted services are not adequately performed;

—	The feasibility of establishing principles at Union level for tourism service quality, including Union competence, added value and technical viability.

Remarks

One major objective of the Union institutions is to improve coordination of policy at Union and Member State level as regards promoting the use of ICT in education, training and learning systems. One condition for integrating ICT is to increase the availability and quality of connectivity to broadband internet services for schools and classrooms, especially in rural and low population density areas, by adopting dedicated policies.

The Commission has allocated resources for enhancing school connectivity to the internet, promoting policy coordination through various initiatives. One such initiative was set out in the Commission communication on ‘Opening up Education: Innovative teaching and learning for all through new Technologies and Open Educational Resources, which clearly stated that “Enhancing local ICT infrastructure (broadband, content, tools) is still needed in some parts of Europe...” and that "Member States are investing in upgrading their national educational infrastructure (ICT, digital educational resources, broadband) but fragmentation and incoherence among Member States persists. On average, 93 % of students in the Union have access to the internet at home, but only 72 % have access to it at a place of education, sometimes not in the classroom.’

Innovation in the education sector remains a key priority for the Commission as is clearly stated in the communication on ‘Connectivity for a Competitive Digital Single Market — Towards a European Gigabit Society’ (COM(2016) 587 final). The European Parliament, in its resolution of 1 June 2017 on internet connectivity for growth, competitiveness and cohesion: European gigabit society and 5G (2016/2305(INI)), welcomed the ambitious plan to provide ultra-fast internet in primary and secondary schools, universities and libraries by 2025, in line with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. It also stressed that faster and better connectivity provides huge opportunities to enhance teaching methods, to foster research and to develop high quality educational services online as well as to create better opportunities for distance learning.

The European Parliament also emphasised that, in order for the gigabit target to have its full impact on our economy and not to miss opportunities, it is important to close the digital divide and prevent the opening of new divides, and to this end funding opportunities should be explored by Member States and the Commission in support of the achievement for the main socio-economic drivers (schools, universities, public administrations).

In 2016, many schools in the Union still lacked broadband access (especially primary schools, 25 % of which had no broadband access or even no internet access at all). The main reasons for this are:

—	poor awareness among schools and local authorities of the technical options available to access broadband internet;

—	a limited number of dedicated, large national institutional support programmes;

—	lack of knowledge about possible funding options, including voucher schemes, and how to implement them.

In 2015, the Commission published a call for tenders for a feasibility study on the provision of satellite broadband for schools located in rural areas and not covered by any fixed wired or wireless broadband.

That study, called ‘Satellite broadband for schools: Feasibility study’ (SMART 2015/0061), was published in September 2017. It confirmed that the use of satellite-based access and distribution is an efficient solution to make broadband internet and educational multimedia content immediately available to schools that are now unconnected or poorly connected and would otherwise remain so for some time to come.

Objective of the pilot project

The objective of the pilot project is to build on the results of the feasibility study with field trials in Union regions containing schools in digital divide areas. In particular, it will help assess the benefits of immediate connectivity via satellite broadband for schools affected by the digital divide, with the support of regional or national authorities, in advance of the even greater benefits that the European Gigabit Society will subsequently make widely available.

Accordingly, the two-year pilot project will:

(i)	identify Union regions that have a large number of schools (particularly primary schools) affected by long-term digital divide;

(ii)	apply simple, efficient and cost-effective voucher schemes to subsidise procurement of satellite broadband for access to and distribution of educational multimedia content, for example through the creation of digital libraries, as recommended in the feasibility study; and

(iii)

foster outreach and communication, for example through workshops.

In this process the pilot project will involve relevant European stakeholders in the ICT supply chain and ensure coordination with educational stakeholders (education ministries, Commission, etc.).

The pilot project could be carried out by means of a grant awarded without a call for proposals to the Network of European Regions Using Space Technologies (NEREUS), which is a dynamic platform for all European regions wishing to use space technologies to improve their public policies for the benefit of their citizens. The pilot project will run for two years (2018 and 2019) on the basis of that grant.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of the functioning and activities of European non-governmental and non-profit organisations representing the interests of SMEs and consumers, as well as environmental and social interests, in standardisation activities.

Such representation in the standardisation process at European level forms part of the statutory objectives of such organisations, and they have been mandated by national non-profit organisations in at least two thirds of the Member States to represent those interests.

Contributions to such European organisations have previously been covered by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, the consumer policy and the Financial Instrument for the environment, LIFE+. In Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 the actions in the field of standardisation financed by specific programmes have been brought together in a single legal act.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the Agency’s staff and administrative expenditure (Titles 1 and 2), and operational expenditure in connection with the work programme (Title 3).

The Agency must inform the European Parliament and the Council about transfers of appropriations between operational and administrative expenditure.

The contributions from the EFTA States pursuant to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and in particular Article 82 thereof and Protocol 32 thereto, must be added to the appropriations entered in this article. By way of information, those amounts derive from contributions from the EFTA States entered against Article 6 3 0 of the statement of revenue, which constitute assigned revenue in accordance with points (b), (e) and (f) of Article 21(2) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under the ‘European Economic Area’ Annex to this part of the statement of expenditure in this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget.

The amounts repaid in accordance with Article 20 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1271/2013 constitute assigned revenue in accordance with point (b) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation to be charged to Item 6 6 0 0 of the general statement of revenue.

In 2019, the Agency’s revenue from fees and charges and the surplus carried over from previous year will not be sufficient to cover for the expected expenditure, which implies the need of a balancing subsidy from the Commission. The Union contribution for 2019 amounts to a total of EUR 58 356 886.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.

Having regard to paragraph 40 of the European Parliament recommendation of 4 April 2017 to the Council and the Commission following the inquiry into emission measurements in the automotive sector (P8_TA(2017) 100), this pilot project will fund measures relating to in-service conformity checks by third-party testing in relation to the transposition of the Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

In the past, qualified third parties provided authorities at Union and national level with reliable information on the emission behaviour of vehicles. That information was rarely made available by the responsible authorities. Funding should be made available to allow them to provide reliable data from on-road emissions testing of passenger cars which is independent of the data provided by manufacturers and the regulatory authorities in order to promote transparency and improve market surveillance. To guarantee their independence, third parties must not be providing, or have provided in the past, vehicle emissions testing or similar (studies, measurements, etc.) services for industry stakeholders.

The third parties will validate the test procedures by referring to the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and the first three RDE packages (Commission Regulations (EU) 2016/427, (EU) 2016/646 and (EU) 2017/1151) and the guidelines outlined in the Commission notice of 26 January 2017. They will publish the results of their measurements in order to support the development of best practice procedures and the provision of broader information to the responsible authorities and the public. The third parties will not only measure exhaust gases and particle emissions from passenger cars.

Independent third parties will thus contribute to better oversight on how exhaust standards are preforming in practice and to what extent the Union’s objectives in terms of air quality and climate policy are being achieved. They will contribute to a broader understanding of exhaust reduction strategies with regard to acceleration, high speed, ambient temperature and other criteria. Their specific test procedure will be documented transparently and should take into account current rules on RDE and the latest research.

Remarks

In the second phase of this pilot project starting from 2019 actions will focus on:

—	continuing a testing exercise consisting of a series of market research surveys of several categories of consumer products in various Member States;

—

expanding the scope to non-food products (e.g. detergents, cosmetics, toiletries, baby products) in order to compare their quality characteristics when sold under the same brand name, in the same packaging and with the same marketing texts; this includes adapting the Union harmonised testing methodology for use with non-food products;

—	further developing the relevant consumer and market research into the dual quality of food products, including the impact of ingredient pricing, factors influencing consumer behaviour and consumers’ brand-related expectations;

—

setting up a steering committee to oversee the pilot project; MEPs and other stakeholders will take part in all proceedings of the committee and play an active role in identifying working priorities for the second phase of the pilot project, in particular in defining which products are to be selected, sampled and tested and undergo a sensory analysis;

—	strengthening multi-stakeholder dialogue, in which MEPs will play an active role, and preparing a final report to be presented in the Member States;

—

developing instructions for competent authorities on how to apply current and future legislation addressing dual-quality and unfair trading practices in a transparent and uniform way in all Member States; conducting various policy-focused analyses of the data produced by the JRC with a view to enabling competent authorities to apply legislation in the most effective manner.

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the pilot project.

The pilot project consists of a series of market investigations into several categories of consumer products in different Member States.

It will compare the qualitative characteristics of products that are sold in the single market under the same brand and in the same packaging and with the use of other marketing texts.

The pilot project will reveal how the quality of products under the same brands differs between Member States. The research will also include a comparative analysis of the labelling and consumer information for those products.

It will focus on food and non-food products. In the first phase only food products will be examined.

If the pilot project is continued, non-food products will also be examined.

With regard to food, each of the Eurostat-defined product groups examined will contain an adequate number of representative products. For non-food products, different product groups will also be represented. This may include detergents, cosmetics, toiletries and baby-products.

Products chosen will be those that consumers could reasonably believe to be the same, especially with regard to package labelling, brand name and the use of other marketing texts.

The investigation will be undertaken in at least half of the Member States, covering a representative cross-section in terms of population, Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices and geographical area. The scope of the investigation, including the selection of Member States and categories of products, will be decided by a task force on dual quality of products composed of representatives of Member States’ competent authorities, consumer organisations, industry, the Commission and members of the European Parliament’s Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection.

The following assessment will be carried for all products tested:

—	physical-chemical testing;

—	sensory testing;

—	conformity with label declaration;

—	price comparison;

—	weight/volume comparison.

At the end of the pilot project, the Commission will publish a report informing the European Parliament and consumers in all Members States of the outcome of the investigation. It will be translated into the languages of the Member States where the investigation has been carried out and distributed to stakeholders. In order to raise consumer awareness, the report will also be publicised in the relevant Member States with the active involvement of European Parliament Information Offices, Commission Representations and Members of the European Parliament.

Pilot project — Closing data gaps and paving the way for pan-European fire safety efforts

Remarks

In recent decades, Europe has made substantial improvements in fire safety by continuously enhancing regulations and the implementation of national fire safety measures. The rate of fire fatalities in Member States fell by 65 % between 1979 and 2007, although with significant disparities across Member States. A better understanding of these differences will help identify best practices. According to statistics, fire fatalities represent about 2 % of accidental deaths in the Union (Commission study regarding Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 on the toxicity of smoke produced by construction products in fires).

The Commission’s study revealed an important data gap in the coverage of statistical information on fire safety and fire casualties in buildings across Europe. In addition, the nature and format of data collected varies greatly across Member States, which hinders data comparison and thereby to effectively assessing potential best practices and successful safety approaches.

Furthermore, recent tragic events have rightly triggered renewed attention on how to improve fire safety in buildings in Europe. One example is the Directive (EU) 2018/844 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 amending Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency (OJ L 156, 19.6.2018, p. 75), in which the Council and the European Parliament emphasise the importance of fire safety, in particular the renovation of existing buildings in Europe.

The planned enhanced efforts to renovate the building stock in Europe present an added opportunity to further improve fire safety, while recognising that the issue of fire safety and prevention remains relevant in a context going beyond renovations. Electrical safety is another key aspect and might be influenced by the increased deployment of infrastructure for electric vehicles in buildings as well as enhanced interactions between buildings and the grid.

This pilot project will address the data gap in Europe in the area of fire casualties, fire safety measures and fire prevention measures.

The pilot project will take into account and make use of any initiatives by the new Fire Information Exchange Platform (FIEP), recently established by the Commission. The results of this project will also support the work of the FIEP.

The pilot project will fund a Union-wide analysis and assessment of available fire safety data, identify data gaps and draw up recommendations for:

(a)	Union-level actions to support enhanced data collection and data streamlining in statistics regarding fire casualties, fire safety and fire prevention (closing data gaps)

(b)	Union-level actions to support the domestic fire safety and fire prevention efforts of Member States, including in relation to the renovation of buildings (Union-wide fire safety awareness campaign)

The pilot project could lead to subsequent preparatory action to launch Union-level actions and initiatives in support of Member States’ fire safety and fire prevention efforts, including their building renovation efforts, thereby supporting safety for Europeans as well as sustainable growth and job creation in Europe.

The pilot project will be implemented by the Commission with possible assistance by external contractors, research facilities and relevant stakeholders.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover commitments remaining to be settled from previous years under the preparatory action.

Europe faces today an increasingly deteriorating security situation with the emergence of new or existing threats; the financial crisis has put constant pressure on national defence budgets and since 2006, the budget spent on defence R&D in Europe decreased by 30 %. In this context, Member States and public opinion look to the Union for greater involvement in security and defence.

The main objective of the preparatory action is to prepare and test mechanisms for conducting Union-funded defence research, including a mechanism of cooperation with the European Defence Agency, with a view to prepare, organise and deliver a variety of defence research activities. The final aim of these activities is to foster the competitiveness and innovation capacity of the defence industry throughout the Union. It needs to produce visible and timely results for the decision making in view of the discussion on a possible defence research programme within the next Multiannual Financial Framework.

The research & technology programme of the preparatory action will be implemented by annual work programmes, mainly through calls for proposals for research projects and procurement. Tasks related to the implementation of the work programmes will be delegated to the European Defence Agency. The preparatory action will cover all needed expenses to prepare and test mechanisms for conducting Union-funded defence research, including expenditure related to information and publications, dissemination, technical and administrative assistance, consultancy, studies and expert groups.

In 2019, this appropriation would cover funding for a number of research projects, inter alia, on critical defence technologies on electronic protection, radar and advanced communication as well as future disruptive technologies. The precise scope of the topics will be defined in consultation with the Member States and the defence-related R&D stakeholders, and assistance from experts.

Any revenue from contributions from third countries entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this Item in accordance with the Financial Regulation.

Remarks

Vehicle emissions tests using PEMS or remote sensing show that some EURO 5 and EURO 6 vehicles still emit significantly more NOx under real-world conditions compared to laboratory test results. Only since the introduction of the real driving emission (RDE) test with EURO 6d (from 1 September 2017 onwards) have discrepancies between type- approved and real-world emissions been reduced.

In order to improve the real-world environmental performance of type-approved EURO 5 and EURO 6 vehicles (before the introduction of RDE), retrofitting of vehicles is required.

On 16 April 2018, the Commission awarded the Horizon Prize on Engine Retrofit for Clean Air. The prize demonstrated the effectiveness of retrofits and the relatively low costs, and spurred the development of new technologies that can be applied to recent EURO 5 and EURO 6 diesel engines.

Further work to assess the effectiveness of retrofit options, building on the Horizon Prize on Engine Retrofit for Clean Air, is required. A broad range of technologies should be assessed on a variety of engine technologies of various EURO classes, including Gasoline Particle Filters retrofit options. Moreover, possible certification schemes for retrofit solutions should be assessed, in order to provide clear information to consumers and enhance trust in the effectiveness of retrofit options.

The pilot project has the following goals:

—

to carry out a broad testing exercise, testing the effectiveness of various retrofit options to determine which technologies under which conditions are able to meet the EURO 6 emission limit values (ELV) and the relevant access requirements for low-emission zones (LEZ), using laboratory tests and the RDE test, and covering a broad range of driving conditions, engine technologies and EURO classes;

—	to assess a variety of possible certification schemes for retrofit solutions.

Remarks

Europe is increasingly reliant on space technologies, with the satellite sector providing new applications in both the civilian and military spheres. The risk of interference between space actors and space objects is increasing. There is a clear need for space traffic management (STM) in order to ensure that space activities (exploration and utilisation of space, space applications and services) are carried out safely and to shape the development of the legal and regulatory framework for space activities. The legal foundation is provided by international space law treaties. The Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme could be a basis for STM.

STM could comprise the following actions:

(1)	interdisciplinary research;

(2)	opinion building;

(3)	advancing technical prerequisites and international cooperation;

(4)	preparation in UNCOPUOS, ITU, ICAO and inter-governmental forums;

(5)	raising public awareness.

Objectives of STM:

(1)	guaranteeing the prosperity and advancement of future generations by keeping spaceflight safe and space exploration and use sustainable;

(2)	dealing with the problems and promises of spaceflight by addressing all phases of traffic entering, operating in and returning from outer space;

(3)	tackling the ongoing decline in safety and sustainability by tying together existing technologies, infrastructures and legal instruments.
