Determination of the rate frozen by the correction of budgetary imbalances granted to the United Kingdom (Article 2(4)(b) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom): calculation of the theoretical share of the countries with a restricted financial burden: In accordance with Article 5(1) of Decision 2000/597/EC, Euratom, the financial contribution of Germany (DE), the Netherlands (NL), Austria (AT) and Sweden (SE) is restricted to a quarter of their normal contribution. Formula for a country with a restricted financial burden, for example Germany: Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = (Germany's capped VAT base / (EU capped VAT base – UK capped VAT base)) × 1/4 × United Kingdom correction Example: Germany Germany's theoretical VAT contribution = 10407889000 / (57669214000 – 10530959000) × 1/4 × 5757931681 = 317830570 calculation of the frozen rate: Frozen rate = (UK correction – theoretical VAT contributions (D + NL + A + S)) / (EU capped VAT base – capped VAT bases (UK+ D + NL + A + S)) Frozen rate = (5757931681 – (317830570 + 85611179 + 37261421 + 45504460)) / (57669214000 – (10530959000 + 10407889000 + 2803480000 + 1220187000 + 1490119000)) Frozen rate = 0,168875772152444 % Uniform rate 0,5 % – 0,168875772152444 % = 0,331124227847556 % Member State 1 % of capped VAT base Maximum VAT call rate (in %) Uniform rate of VAT own resources (in %) VAT own resources at uniform rate (1) (2) (3) (4) = (1) × (3) Belgium 1440965000 0,50 0,331124228 477138423 Bulgaria 151284500 0,50 0,331124228 50093963 Czech Republic 609696500 0,50 0,331124228 201885283 Denmark 975620000 0,50 0,331124228 323051419 Germany 10407889000 0,50 0,331124228 3446304209 Estonia 82769000 0,50 0,331124228 27406821 Ireland 859976500 0,50 0,331124228 284759055 Greece 1087960000 0,50 0,331124228 360249915 Spain 5411203000 0,50 0,331124228 1791780415 France 9383695000 0,50 0,331124228 3107168761 Italy 6175505000 0,50 0,331124228 2044859325 Cyprus 78673000 0,50 0,331124228 26050536 Latvia 109362500 0,50 0,331124228 36212573 Lithuania 132605000 0,50 0,331124228 43908728 Luxembourg 161921000 0,50 0,331124228 53615966 Hungary 404912000 0,50 0,331124228 134076173 Malta 26640000 0,50 0,331124228 8821149 Netherlands 2803480000 0,50 0,331124228 928300150 Austria 1220187000 0,50 0,331124228 404033478 Poland 1561207000 0,50 0,331124228 516953462 Portugal 799572000 0,50 0,331124228 264757661 Romania 552422000 0,50 0,331124228 182920308 Slovenia 167543000 0,50 0,331124228 55477547 Slovakia 250865000 0,50 0,331124228 83067479 Finland 792183000 0,50 0,331124228 262310984 Sweden 1490119000 0,50 0,331124228 493414503 United Kingdom 10530959000 0,50 0,331124228 3487055667 Total 57669214000 19095673953 Member State 1 % of gross national income Uniform rate of additional base own resources Additional base own resources at uniform rate (1) (2) (3) = (1) × (2) Belgium 3420171000 2188184847 Bulgaria 302569000 193580058 Czech Republic 1219393000 780153181 Denmark 2392833000 1530906178 Germany 24720152000 15815660102 Estonia 165538000 105909249 Ireland 1719953000 1100405533 Greece 2175920000 1392127812 Spain 10822406000 6924047019 France 19230736000 12303596841 Italy 15707334000 10049366025 Cyprus 157346000 100668105 Latvia 218725000 0,6397881 139937661 Lithuania 286456000 183271152 Luxembourg 323842000 207190271 Hungary 995759000 637074800 Malta 53280000 34087912 Netherlands 5744079000 3674993627 Austria 2736781000 1750960029 Poland 3122414000 1997683449 Portugal 1599144000 1023113367 Romania 1317240000 842754531 Slovenia 335086000 214384049 Slovakia 563978000 360826436 Finland 1828978000 1170158435 Sweden 3456262000 2211275441 United Kingdom 21276097000 13612194554 Total 125892472000 80544510664 Description Coefficient (%) Amount 1.

Introducing competition into markets creates conditions that promote knowledge and innovation, in turn contributing to the EU's competitiveness and the creation of more and better jobs. Transparency and predictability, competition enforcement, guidance and advocacy contribute to making Europe a more attractive place in which to invest and work. The Directorate-General for Competition has defined three multi-annual general objectives that will allow it to continue making a significant contribution to achieving the Commission's strategic objectives as defined in the Community Lisbon Programme: (45) to focus action on key sectors for the internal market and the Lisbon agenda, (46) to focus enforcement actions on the most harmful anti-competitive practices for the European economy, (47) to enhance competitiveness within the EU by helping to shape the regulatory framework. Txt. 8. The expected impact of these three general objectives is to contribute to increased competition in the common market, increased consumer welfare and enhanced competitiveness of European industry.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1). For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme will be applicable. That definition reads as follows: An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research. Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes. These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's RTD strategy. The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is possible in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. 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. Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation. Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 21 04. In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation, more specific action is needed. Qualifying projects under the SME Specific Programmes should be made eligible for funding under the thematic programme when they fulfil the necessary (thematic) requirements.

Overall objectives The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed Lisbon strategy. As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the main objectives are as follows: to promote and monitor the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance. In the context of i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments. As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information Society and Media policy area are concerned, information and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim to step up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improve its impact on the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs. The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities — research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross-discipline services to the research communities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT-based resources to virtual communities. In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audiovisual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe's creative sector and content industries by creating synergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

objective of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) theme of the cooperation programme is to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met. Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens — particularly disabled persons and persons suffering from dys conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.) — and businesses, industry and governments. The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications. The activities will leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from improvements of organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme will also support other policies of the European Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands. Activities will cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme coordination initiatives. The work programmes will specify the funding schemes (collaborative projects, networks of excellence, coordination and support actions, etc.) to be used for the topics on which proposals are invited, based on the different forms of Community grants (reimbursement of eligible costs, lump sum financing, flat rates). Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes. 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, as well as contributions from third countries associated with the seventh framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities.

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 the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action for launching implementation of the European maritime policy. Sixty per cent of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of shared management.

The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this. (126) Translate the policy framework into the new programming cycle.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 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 (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved. Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community's development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission's regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will: (129) present the strategic objectives of the Union's development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union's strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment, (130) present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives, (131) summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region, and (132) provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.

Introducing competition into markets creates conditions that promote knowledge and innovation, in turn contributing to the EU's competitiveness and the creation of more and better jobs. Transparency and predictability, competition enforcement, guidance and advocacy contribute to making Europe a more attractive place in which to invest and work. The Directorate-General for Competition has defined three multi-annual general objectives that will allow it to continue making a significant contribution to achieving the Commission's strategic objectives as defined in the Community Lisbon Programme:

to focus action on key sectors for the internal market and the Lisbon agenda,

to focus enforcement actions on the most harmful anti-competitive practices for the European economy,

to enhance competitiveness within the EU by helping to shape the regulatory framework.

The expected impact of these three general objectives is to contribute to increased competition in the common market, increased consumer welfare and enhanced competitiveness of European industry.

These appropriations will be used in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the Seventh Framework Programme and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 391, 30.12.2006, p. 1) and Council Regulation (Euratom) No 1908/2006 of 19 December 2006 laying down the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in action under the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community and for the dissemination of research results (2007 to 2011) (OJ L 400, 30.12.2006, p. 1). For all appropriations under this title the same definition of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as is used for the horizontal SME-specific programmes within the same framework programme will be applicable. That definition reads as follows: An eligible SME is a legal entity that complies with the SME definition set out in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC and is not a research centre, research institute, contract research organisation or consultancy firm. All research activities conducted pursuant to the Seventh Framework Programme will be carried out in compliance with fundamental ethical principles (in accordance with Article 6(1) of Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) (OJ L 412, 30.12.2006, p. 1)), including animal welfare requirements. This will include, in particular, the principles laid down in Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Particular account will be taken of the need to step up efforts to enhance the participation and role of women in science and research. Also entered against these articles and items are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes. These appropriations also cover administrative expenditure, including expenditure on staff, whether covered by the Staff Regulations or not, information, publications, administrative and technical operation, and certain other expenditure items relating to internal infrastructure linked with the achievement of the objective of the measure of which they form an integral part, including the action and initiatives necessary for preparation and monitoring of the Community's RTD strategy. The participation of third countries or organisations from third countries in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is possible in the case of some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Items 6 0 1 3 and 6 0 1 6 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. Any revenue from third parties sharing the cost of projects with the Community (firms in European Free Trade Association Member States, industrial consortia, etc.) entered in Article 6 0 1 5 of the statement of revenue may give rise to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. 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. Any revenue from the contribution from outside bodies for participation in Community programmes, entered in Item 6 0 3 3 of the statement of revenue, may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation. Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 08 21 04. In order to be able to meet the goal of 15 % SME participation in the projects financed by these appropriations, as laid down in the regulation, more specific action is needed.

Overall objectives The main objectives of this policy area derive directly from the i2010 strategic initiative which is strongly focused on the main axes of the renewed Lisbon strategy. As far as the i2010 Electronic communications policy and network security activity is concerned, the main objectives are as follows: to promote and monitor the eCommunications regulatory framework, to promote an effective EU radio spectrum policy and to support the safe use of the Internet, the prevention of information security problems and Internet governance. In the context of i2010 ICT Take-up, the new competitiveness and innovation programme aims to ensure the best use and wider uptake of ICTs by European citizens, businesses and governments and to boost competitiveness and innovation. The objective of the eContent plus programme is to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable. The preparatory action eDemocracy is aimed at the creation of an Internet-based system for better legislation and for increased public participation involving parliaments. As far as actions related to the research and development activities in the Information Society and Media policy area are concerned, information and communication technologies (ICTs) will aim to step up the European research and innovation effort in ICT and improve its impact on the competitiveness of all industrial sectors as well as on growth and jobs. The development of e-infrastructures (Capacities — research infrastructures) will provide persistent, cross-discipline services to the research communities based upon complex processes designed to bring the power of distributed ICT-based resources to virtual communities. In relation to the i2010 Audiovisual policy and media programme activity, the objective is to support the adoption of the directive on audiovisual media services and propose further measures to enhance the potential of Europe's creative sector and content industries by creating synergies between ICTs and European media and audiovisual content.

objective of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) theme of the cooperation programme is to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of ICTs so that the demands of its society and economy are met. Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific and technology base in ICTs, help drive and stimulate innovation through ICT use and ensure that ICT progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for Europe's citizens — particularly disabled persons and persons suffering from dys conditions (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dyscalculia, etc.) — and businesses, industry and governments. The ICT theme prioritises strategic research around key technology pillars, ensures end-to-end integration of technologies and provides the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of innovative ICT applications. The activities will leverage industrial and technological advances in the ICT sector and improve the competitive edge of important ICT-intensive sectors — both through innovative high-value ICT-based products and services and from improvements of organisational processes in businesses and administrations alike. The theme will also support other policies of the European Union by mobilising ICTs to meet public and societal demands. Activities will cover collaboration and networking actions, support for joint technology initiatives and national programme coordination initiatives. The work programmes will specify the funding schemes (collaborative projects, networks of excellence, coordination and support actions, etc.) to be used for the topics on which proposals are invited, based on the different forms of Community grants (reimbursement of eligible costs, lump sum financing, flat rates). Also entered in this article are the costs of high-level scientific and technological meetings, conferences, workshops and seminars of European interest organised by the Commission, the costs of studies, grants, monitoring and evaluation of the specific programmes and of the framework programmes, the funding of high-level scientific and technological analyses and evaluations carried out on behalf of the Community to investigate new areas of research suitable for Community action, inter alia, in the context of the European Research Area, and measures to monitor and disseminate the results of the programmes, including measures under previous framework programmes. 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, as well as contributions from third countries associated with the seventh framework programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities. The possibility of third countries or organisations from third countries taking part in European cooperation in the field of scientific and technical research is envisaged for some of these projects. Any financial contribution will be entered in Item 6 0 1 3 of the statement of revenue and may lead to additional appropriations being made available in accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation. 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 give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with Article 18(1)(d) of the Financial Regulation. Additional appropriations will be made available under Article 09 04 02.

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 the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action for launching implementation of the European maritime policy. Sixty per cent of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of shared management.

The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

Translate the policy framework into the new programming cycle.

Improve the effectiveness of EU aid among Member States and with international donors, develop the EC's role as a centre of excellence for EU thinking on development policies and strengthen the EU/EC's impact on the international development debate and cooperation.

Enhance policy coherence for development.

In accordance with the Commission Declaration concerning Article 5 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 (OJ L 378, 27.12.2006, p. 41) (the DCI), for countries defined as Official Development Assistance (ODA) recipients by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), the Commission will continue to report annually on the benchmark, used in the past but now superseded, of 35 % of assistance to developing countries to be allocated to social infrastructure and services, recognising that the EU contribution must be seen as a part of the overall donor support to the social sectors and that a degree of flexibility must be the norm. Moreover, also in accordance with that Commission Declaration, the Commission will endeavour to ensure that a benchmark of 20 % of its allocated assistance under country programmes covered by the DCI will be dedicated, by 2009, to basic and secondary education and basic health, through project, programme or budget support linked to these sectors, taking an average across all geographical areas and recognising that a degree of flexibility must be the norm, such as in cases where exceptional assistance is involved. Before July each year, the Commission will provide to the European Parliament and the Council an annual report on the Community's development policy and external assistance, meeting all the Commission's regulatory reporting requirements and giving full details of development cooperation, especially the extent to which it has met its objectives. In particular, the report will:

present the strategic objectives of the Union's development policy and its contribution towards the previous 35 % benchmark for social infrastructure and services and the current 20 % benchmark for basic and secondary education and for basic health, and assess the efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, including progress made in coordinating aid, in improving the coherence of the Union's strategy in its external actions, and in integrating the cross-cutting issues such as gender, human rights, conflict prevention and the environment,

present the main results of evaluation and monitoring reports, as an indication of the extent to which its actions are achieving their objectives,

summarise the key features and events of co-operation in each geographical region, and

provide financial information on the support given to each sector, in accordance with OECD reporting criteria.
