COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2015/322
of 2 March 2015
on the implementation of the 11th European Development Fund
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, as last amended (1) (‘ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’),
Having regard to the Internal Agreement between the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Union, meeting within the Council, on the financing of European Union aid under the multiannual financial framework for the period 2014 to 2020, in accordance with the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, and on the allocation of financial assistance for the Overseas Countries and Territories to which Part Four of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union applies (2) (‘the Internal Agreement’), and in particular Article 10(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Investment Bank,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision No 1/2013 of the ACP-EU Council of Ministers (3) established the multiannual financial framework for cooperation with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries for the period 2014 to 2020 by inserting a new Annex Ic to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement. |
(2) |
The Internal Agreement defines the various financial envelopes of the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), the contribution key and contributions to the 11th EDF, sets up the EDF Committee and the Investment Facility Committee (‘the IF Committee’), and determines the voting weights and qualified majority rule within those Committees. |
(3) |
Furthermore, the Internal Agreement sets the aggregate amount of Union aid to the ACP Group of States (‘the ACP States’) (excluding the Republic of South Africa) and to the Overseas Countries and Territories (‘the OCTs’) for the seven-year period from 2014 to 2020 at EUR 30 506 million contributed by the Member States. From this amount, EUR 29 089 million is allocated to the ACP States as specified in the multiannual financial framework 2014 to 2020 referred to in Annex Ic to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, EUR 364,5 million is allocated to the OCTs and EUR 1 052,5 million is allocated to the Commission for support expenditures linked to programming and implementation of the EDF by the Commission, of which at least EUR 76,3 million is to be allocated to the Commission for measures to improve the impact of EDF programmes as referred to in Article 6(3) of the Internal Agreement. |
(4) |
The 11th EDF allocation to the OCTs is governed by Council Decision 2013/755/EU (4) and by its implementing rules and any subsequent updates thereof. |
(5) |
Measures covered by, and eligible for, funding under Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/96 (5) should only in exceptional circumstances be financed under the 11th EDF where such assistance is required to ensure continuity of cooperation from crisis to stable conditions for development and cannot be financed from the general budget of the Union. |
(6) |
On 11 April 2006, the Council adopted the principle of funding the African Peace Facility from the EDF and agreed on future modalities and design for the Facility. |
(7) |
The ACP countries will also be eligible for Union assistance from thematic programmes provided by Regulation (EU) No 233/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), Regulation (EU) No 234/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), Regulation (EU) No 230/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) and... |
