Overall objectives Action in this policy area aims to ensure the smooth functioning of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) both inside and outside the European Union, by advancing economic policy coordination, conducting economic surveillance and providing the Commission and other Community institutions with high-quality policy assessment and advice on economic and financial questions. This entails monitoring economic developments in the Union and in third countries, cooperating with international organisations and following international financial issues. Operational activities include the implementation of EU investment financing programmes on behalf of other Commission departments, in close cooperation with the EIB, EIF and EBRD and financial market operations (borrowing and lending, treasury management and management of the Guarantee Fund as well as macro-financial assistance to third countries). The main objective for 2007 is to strengthen economic governance in the Union aimed at raising the contribution of public finances and other economic policies to growth and employment in line with the Lisbon Strategy, in addition to securing the core budgetary objectives of sound and stable public finances, by implementing the revised Stability and Growth Pact. Integration of the new Member States in EMU will continue in 2007, in the expectation that some of them will participate in the exchange rate mechanism (ERM II) and, subsequently, in the euro zone. Furthermore, the full integration of Bulgaria and Romania into the Community economic policy coordination framework is to be further corroborated after their accession in 2007. Also, in 2007, new financial instruments will be implemented, notably for TEN-transport and RTD projects and SMEs, in order to support the Lisbon Strategy and the European Initiative for Growth.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) was created in 1994. Its founder members are the European Community, represented by the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a number of financial institutions. The Community membership to the EIF is determined by Council Decision 94/375/EC. The EIF is expected to exhaust its own resources by mid-2007 and will be unable to continue its own resources operations. Therefore, it has proposed to its Board of Directors to increase the subscribed capital up to 50 % in nominal terms. Article 3 of Council Decision 94/375/EC specifies that the position of the Community on a possible capital increase in the capital of the EIF and on its participation in that increase shall be decided unanimously by the Council, acting on a proposal from the Commission and after consulting the European Parliament. The Commission has submitted a proposal for a Council Decision on Community participation in the capital increase of the EIF, which could possibly be adopted by the Council early 2007. Consequently, the purpose of the proposal for a Council Decision is to approve Community participation in the 50 % increase in the nominal capital of EIF. It will be proposed to maintain the level of the Community participation at 30 % by 2010. The intention is to increase the total subscribed share capital from EUR 2 billion to EUR 3 billion and, maintaining the current paid-in ratio of 20 %, the paid-in capital from EUR 400 million to EUR 600 million. The capital increase of the EIF was endorsed within the framework of EIB Group's contribution to growth and jobs which was welcomed by the Ecofin of 14 March 2006 and European Council of 23 and 24 March 2006. Community participation in the capital increase will take place in four tranches starting in 2007. Any revenue from dividends paid by the European Investment Fund, entered in article 8 5 0 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations to be entered in this item, in accordance with article 18 of the Financial Regulation. Legal basis Council Decision 94/375/EC of 6 June 1994 on Community membership of the European Investment Fund (OJ L 173, 7.7.1994, p. 12) and the forthcoming Council Decision on the capital increase of the EIF and the Community participation in it.

Legal basis Decision No 1718/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 November 2006 concerning the implementation of a programme of support for the European audiovisual sector (MEDIA 2007) (OJ L 327, 24.11.2006, p. 12). Overall objectives This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products. It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector. The policy area covers five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP and maritime affairs (including conservation of fisheries resources, control and dialogue with the fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF). Sixty per cent of appropriations is devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of shared management.

a transversal programme: incorporating four key activities to cover policy issues, to make specific provision for language learning and ICT-related activity where these fall outside the specific programmes, and to provide a better dissemination service,

Jean Monnet: to support European institutions and associations active in the field of European integration.

Youth for Europe: the aim of this action is to support exchanges between young people in order to increase their mobility and youth initiatives, projects and activities concerning participation in democratic life, in order to develop young people's citizenship and mutual understanding,

European Voluntary Service: the aim of this action is to boost young people's participation in various forms of voluntary activities, both within and outside the European Union,

Youth of the World: the aim of this action is to support projects with the partner countries mentioned in Article 5, in particular exchanges of young people and youth workers, and to support initiatives that reinforce young people's mutual understanding, sense of solidarity and the development of cooperation in the field of youth and civil society in these countries,

Youth workers and support systems: the aim of this action is to support bodies active at European level in the field of youth, in particular the operation of youth NGOs, their networking, the exchange, training and networking of youth workers, encouraging innovation and quality in the action undertaken, providing young people with information and developing the structures and activities needed for the programme to meet these goals,

support for policy cooperation: the aim of this action is to organise dialogue between the various actors in the field of youth, in particular the young people themselves, youth workers and policymakers, to contribute to the development of policy cooperation in the youth field and to take the necessary steps and establish the networks necessary to better understand youth.

to protect citizens from risks and threats which are beyond the control of individuals and that cannot be effectively tackled by individual Member States,

to increase the ability of citizens to take better decisions about their health and consumer protection interests,

to mainstream health and consumer protection policy objectives across all Community policies.

In addition, health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions. For consumers’ protection there are two specific objectives:

Objective 1: to ensure a high level of consumer protection, notably through an improved evidence basis, better consultation and better representation of consumers’ interests,

Objective 2: to ensure effective application of consumer protection rules notably through enforcement cooperation, information, education and redress.

The consumer programme aims at consolidating and expanding the action areas of the 2002 to 2006 consumer programme.

The Commission proposes the following objectives common to health and consumer protection:

to protect citizens from risks and threats which are beyond the control of individuals and that cannot be effectively tackled by individual Member States,

to increase the ability of citizens to take better decisions about their health and consumer interests,

to mainstream health and consumer policy objectives across all Community policies.

In addition, Health and consumer policies have their own specific objectives and actions. Health objectives:

to improve information on and knowledge of health: the objective is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe,

to improve the capacity to react rapidly to health threats to protect citizens against health threats,

to promote good health and prevent disease through action on health determinants to improve prosperity and solidarity.

For 2007 and as far as the health area is concerned, the programme 2007 to 2013 will focus on three pillars, where European level action is essential: (1) Health information The objective of this pillar is to strengthen the collection, analysis, exchange and dissemination of health-related information in Europe which is necessary to provide a solid foundation for health policy making and is also needed by professionals for their work and by citizens to enable them to make healthy lifestyle choices. (2) Health security The overall objective is to protect citizen against health threats. An effective rapid response capability is needed to avoid threats to public health, for example arising from communicable diseases or chemical or biological attacks. Tackling such threats need to be coordinated effectively at EU level. The integration of the EU based on the principle of free movement increases the need for vigilance, to respond to major cross-border health threats such as avian flu, or bioterrorism. (3) Promote health to improve prosperity and solidarity The overall objective is to contribute to EU prosperity by fostering healthy ageing and bridging inequalities as well as to enhance solidarity between national health systems Actions would 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 would 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 would further include the promotion of health by tackling environmental, addiction and lifestyle determinants. Non-governmental organisations are key players in the implementation of the programme. Therefore, they should be allocated adequate funds. To the appropriations entered in this article must be added 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. 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 Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation; they give rise to the provision of corresponding appropriations and to implementation under Annex V to this part of the statement of expenditure of this section, which forms an integral part of the general budget. Any revenue from the contribution from candidate countries for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 1 of the statement of revenue, may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation.

Reference acts Overall objectives The policy area covers a wide range of activities from political relations and policy formulation to programming and implementing cooperation programmes. It includes both budgetary appropriations under Heading 4 of the financial framework and funds under the various European Development Funds (EDF) for the African, Caribbean and Pacific States as well as the overseas countries and territories. The amount of the EDF varies from year to year due to the five-year implementation cycle, and corresponds to a yearly average of approximately EUR 2950 million in commitment appropriations.
