The attached Proposal for a Council Decision represents the legal instrument for the conclusion of the three bilateral Agreements establishing cooperation between the Republic of Cyprus and the European Community within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci, Youth for Europe III and Socrates programmes. The Council Decision of 6 December 1994 establishing the Leonardo da Vinci programme and the Decisions of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 1995 establishing the Youth for Europe III and Socrates programmes explicitly provide that these three programmes shall be open to the participation of the Republic of Cyprus and Malta. Moreover, as stated in the resolution of the EU/Cyprus Association Council of 12 June 1995, the participation of Cyprus in these three Community programmes is one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy implemented for that country in accordance with the conclusions of the General Affairs Council of 6 March 1995. The three bilateral Agreements are aimed at laying down the conditions and arrangements for the participation of that country. The competent departments of the Commission conducted negotiations with the Republic of Cyprus on the basis of the Directives adopted by the Council on 22 December 1995. 3. In accordance with the Council Directives, the three Agreements, initialled on 13 March 1997, contain the following elements: - the Republic of Cyprus will participate in all the activities conducted within the framework of the Leonardo da Vinci, Youth for Europe III and Socrates programmes, in principle in the same way as the Member States of the Community (Articles 1 to 4); - to ensure the Community dimension of the programmes, all transnational projects proposed by Cyprus will be required to include a minimum number of partners from the EC Member States (Article 4); - Cyprus shall put in place the national structures and mechanisms required for its participation (Article 5); - Cyprus shall make an annual financial contribution corresponding to the cost of its participation in each programme (Article 6 and Annex); - responsibility for the implementation of each agreement will be vested in a Joint Committee (Article 7); Cyprus will also be invited to attend coordination meetings prior to the formal sessions of the programme management committees (Article 8): - the Agreements will be concluded for the duration of the programmes (Article 13). - 1 These Agreements, intended to establish close cooperation links with Cyprus in the fields of education, training and youth, are in the interest of the Community. They also represent an essential stage in the Republic of Cyprus's preparation for accession. The conclusion of these Agreements is, therefore, of considerable political importance. Ideally, they should enter into effect in the first half of 1997 so as to enable the Republic of Cyprus to take part in the calls for proposals for 1997. In view of the foregoing, the Commission urges the Council to adopt the Proposal for a Decision attached hereto. Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION concerning the conclusion of bilateral agreements between the Community and Cyprus on the latter's participation in Community programmes in the fields of education, training and youth THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 126 and 127, in conjunction with Article 228(3) first paragraph thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, Whereas the Resolution of the Association Council E.

At the beginning of each year, from 1997 onwards, or immediately after the entry into force of this Agreement, the Commission shall send to Cyprus a call for funds corresponding to its contribution referred to in points 1 and 2 above. This contribution shall be expressed in ECU and paid into an ECU bank account of the Commission. Cyprus shall pay its contribution at the latest within three months of the call for funds. Any delay in the payment of the contribution shall give rise to the payment of interest by Cyprus on the outstanding amount from the due date. The interestrate shall correspond to the rate applied by the -33 European Monetary Cooperation Fund (EMCF), for the month of the due date, for its operations in ECU 9, increased by 1,5 percentage points. 4. If necessary to take into account programme developments, the contribution of Cyprus referred to in points 1 and 2 may be adapted by the Joint Committee. Rate published monthly in the Official Journal of the European Communities - C series. - 3 4- DECLARATION Joint declaration in relation to the Annex, point 1 These figures are calculated on the basis of the Commission PDB 1997 for the Socrates programme and the distribution formulas provided in the different Chapters of the Annex to Decision 819/95/EC, taking into consideration statistics available in 1996 for all participating countries including Cyprus. The Contracting Parties agree that, should the Cypriot contribution to the Socrates budget be insuf ficient to cover the Cypriot participation in all the projects selected on a qualitative basis, the Joint Committee will have as duty to establish a balance between the two above mentioned elements. -35 FINANCIAL STATEMENT OPENING UP OF ITEMS B3-1001 (SOCRATES), B3-1010 (YOUTH FOR EUROPE) AND B3-1021 (LEONARDO DA VINCI) TO THE PARTICIPATION OF CYPRUS 1.

LEGAL BASIS Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Articles 126 and 127 thereof, in conjunction with Article 228 (3), first paragraph. Resolution of the EU/Cyprus Association Council of 12 June 1995, providing for the opening up of the Community programmes. Council Decision (94/819/EC) of 6 December 1994 establishing the Leonardo da Vinci programme, and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof. European Parliament and Council Decision (818/95/EC) of 14 March 1995 establishing the Youth for Europe programme, and in particular Article 7 (4) thereof. 36- European Parliament and Council Decision (81?/95/EC) of 14 March 1995 establishing the Socrates programme, and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof. 4. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION 4. 1 General objective The participation of Cyprus in the three above-mentioned Community programmes will help to prepare the country for its future accession to the Union, which is an objective recognised by the Corfu European Council of June 1994 and confirmed at subsequent European Councils: it is one of the elements of the pre-accession strategy set out in the Association Council's resolution of 12 June 1995. Through its participation, Cyprus will gain insight into the Community programme management methods. The decision-making process for opening up the programmes entails the conclusion of three bilateral agreements setting out the practical arrangements. 4. 2 Period covered and arrangements for renewal The agreements are concluded for the duration of the three programmes concerned (ending on 31 December 1999). 37 5. CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE 5. 1 Non-compulsory expenditure 5. 2 Differentiated appropriations 5. 3 Type of revenue involved: Under the terms of Article 6 and the Annex to the three agreements concerned, Cyprus will pay an annual contribution to the general budget of the European Union to cover all the costs of its participation in each of the three programmes. It will be asked to pay its contribution to revenue item 6092 of the Union's budget. 6. TYPE OF EXPENDITURE OR REVENUE 100% subsidy; subsidy for joint financing with other sources in the public or private sector; no provision for partial or full reimbursement of the Community financial contribution. The participation of Cyprus in the three programmes will be covered by a financial contribution from that country. 38 FINANCIAL IMPACT 7. 1 Method of calculating the cost of the operation for the 1997, 1998 and 1999 financial years (link between individual costs and the total cost): There will be no financial impact on items B3-1001, B3-1010 and B3-1021 of the Community budget, since the additional expenditure resulting from the participation of Cyprus will be covered in full by that country's annual financial contribution. The financial contribution from Cyprus provided for in the agreements corresponds to the operational and administrative costs arising from its participation, calculated on the basis of certain parameters inherent in the three programmes concerned, i. e. GDP, population, education attainment levels, distances involved. The cost of Cyprus's participation in the Leonardo da Vinci programme, from 1997 onwards, amounts to ECU 482 000 per year. With regard to Socrates, the cost amounts to ECU 253 000 in 1997, for participation in Chapters II (Comenius) and m (horizontal activities), given that Erasmus will not be accessible that year. In 1998 and 1999, the cost will be ECU 575 000 per year, including Chapter I (Erasmus). As regards Youth for Europe, the cost amounts to ECU 139 000 in 1997, for participation in actions AI and BI, ECU 246 000 in 1998 and ECU 300 000 in 1999 for participation in the whole programme. 7. 2 Itemised breakdown of cost in ecus 39- Programmes 1997 1998 1999 Total Leonardo da Vinci Socrates Youth for Europe 482 000 253 000 139 000 482 000 575 000 246 000 482 000 1446 000 575 000 1403 000 300 000 685 000 Total 874 000 1303 000 1357 000 3 534 000 The same annual amounts, in commitment appropriations, are earmarked for revenue (item 6092), broken down as follows: Item 6092 1997 1998 1999 TOTAL Operational part 816 000 1217 000 1267 000 3 300 000 Administrative part Total 58 000 874 000 86 000 90 000 234 000 1303 000 1357 000 3 534 000 7. 3 Operational expenditure on studies, meetings of experts, etc, included in Part B NONE 40 7. 4 Schedule to be completed for multiannual operations 1997 1998 1999 Subsequent years TOTAL Commitment appropriations Payment appropriations 1997 1998 1999 Subsequent years Total No impact on items B3-1001, B3-1010 and B3-1021. 8. FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES (AND RESULTS OF ACTION TAKEN) All contracts, agreements and legal commitments entered into by the Commission allow for the possibility of spot checks by the Commission and the Court of Auditors. In this connection, the recipients of aid in respect of operations are obliged to submit financial reports and accounts, which are analysed both from the point of view of content and in terms of the eligibility of expenditure, in accordance with the objective of Community financing. The anti-fraud provisions of the basic budget headings shall apply. 41 9. ELEMENTS OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS 9. 1 Specific and quantified objectives; target population The opening up of the Socrates, -Leonardo da Vinci and Youth for Europe programmes to Cyprus is intended to place Cyprus on an equal footing with the Member States of the European Community in terms of the benefits deriving from these programmes. Community action in the field of education and training must aim primarily to broaden the knowledge and enhance the skills of Europe's citizens, thereby increasing their sense of initiative and creativity and enabling them to participate actively and fully in society and in the building of Europe. The gradual creation of an open European area for education and training is the cornerstone of such an approach. In the field of education, the main objective of the Socrates programme is to contribute to the development of quality education by encouraging cooperation between the Member States. More particularly, the aims of the programme are: to develop the European dimension of education at all levels so as to strengthen the spirit of European citizenship, drawing on the cultural heritage of each Member State; to promote a quantitative and qualitative improvement in knowledge of the languages of the European Union, especially those which are least widely used and least taught, in the interest of greater understanding and solidarity between the peoples of the European Union, and to promote the intercultural dimension of education; to promote wide-ranging and intensive cooperation between educational establishments at all levels, enhancing their intellectual and teaching potential; - 4 2- to encourage the mobility of teachers with a view to giving a European dimension to studies, and to contribute to the qualitative improvement of their skills; to encourage the mobility of students, enabling them to undertake part of their studies in another Member State, thereby consolidating the European dimension in education; to encourage contacts among pupils in the European Union and to promote the European dimension in their education; to encourage the academic recognition of diplomas, periods of study and other qualifications, with the aim of facilitating the development of an open European area for education; to encourage open and distance education within the context of the programme; to foster exchanges of information and experience so that the diversity and specificity of educational systems in the Member States become a source of enrichment and mutual stimulation. In the field of vocational training, the Leonardo da Vinci programme is designed primarily to ensure the implementation of a vocational training policy which supports and supplements the activities of the Member States. The main objectives of the programme are: to provide support for the improvement of vocational training systems and arrangements in the Member States: improving the quality of initial vocational training and facilitating young people's entry into working life; improving the quality of the Member States' continuing vocational training arrangements; support for vocational information and guidance; promoting -43 equal opportunities for men and women in vocational training; improving the quality of vocational training arrangements for those who are disadvantaged on the labour market as a result of socio-economic, geographical or ethnic factors, or through physical or mental disabilities, and those who are unskilled or have insufficient qualifications, placing them at risk of social exclusion; to provide support for the improvement of vocational training measures, including university/industry cooperation, for undertakings and workers: innovation in vocational training, with an eye to technological change and its impact on work and the necessary qualifications and skills; investment in continuing vocational training for workers; transfer of technological innovation in the context of university/industry cooperation on continuing vocational training; promoting equal opportunities for men and women; • to provide support for the development of language skills, knowledge and the dissemination of innovation in the field of vocational training. As far as youth-oriented policy is concerned, the Youth for Europe programme is designed primarily to contribute to the education of all young people by means of activities supplementing those of the Member States and those provided for at Community level in the fields of education and training. More specifically, the objectives of the* programme are: to step up exchange schemes for young people aged between 15 and 25 living in one or more Member States; to support initiatives and innovative projects of Community interest or of a transnational nature set up by young people for young people, enabling them to play an active and acknowledged role in society and to develop their personal abilities, creativity, sense of solidarity and independence; to see that everything is done to make exchanges worthwhile and ensure the high quality of all measures taken under the programme; 44 to support the training of youth leaders so that young people may benefit from worthwhile joint measures attuned to the general objectives of the programme; to step up cooperation among Member States and between them and the Commission through exchanges of experience and joint initiatives at Community level, and thus to support the Member States in their endeavours to improve the quality of services and measures for young people, in particular through activities aimed at providing young people with information about the objectives of the programme; to promote exchanges with young people from third countries, in particular those with which the Community has concluded cooperation agreements. 9. 2 Grounds for the operation Need for Community financial aid No Community financial aid chargeable to the Community budget. Choice of ways and means The ways and means adopted for the three programmes will apply to Cyprus on the same terms as for the Member States. Main factors of uncertainty which could affect the specific results of the operation With projects being selected on a qualitative basis, the real impact will depend on the Cypriot operators' ability to respond to the calls for proposals which will be launched by the Commission in connection with the three programmes. -45 9. 3 Monitoring and evaluation of the operation The monitoring and evaluation arrangements provided for by the Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and Youth for Europe programmes (with particular reference to the measures laid down in the Decisions establishing the three programmes) will also cover operations financed. for beneficiaries in Cyprus. 10. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENDITURE Effective mobilisation of the necessary administrative resources is the result of an annual decision by the Commission on the allocation of resources, taking particular account of additional staff and funds to be allocated by the budgetary authority. 46- 10. 1 Effect on the number of jobs Type of job Staff. assigned to administer the operation Permanent Temporary Comprising Duration using existing resources within the departments concerned recourse additional resources to 1995-1999 or Officials temporary staff A B C Other resources TOTAL 10. 2 Overall financial impact of additional human resources Amounts Method of calculation Officials Temporary staff resources Other budget heading) TOTAL (indicate 10. 3 Increase in other operational expenditure arising from the operation (ecus) (ecus) Budget heading (number and Amounts Method of calculation title A1178/A238 assistance A1300 - missions technical - 54 000 Additional appropriations to be managed by the offices assisting the Commission for the three programmes 9 000 1 mission per year for each of the three programmes 47 A2500 - meetings A2510 - compulsory meetings 30 000 Participation by a representative of Cyprus in three annual meetings for each of the three programmes 141 000 Cost of the additional presence of the representatives of Cyprus, based on the EUR15 budget needed for 1996 Total 234 000 ~~ This expenditure is to be covered by Cyprus's contribution - 4 8- ISSN 0254-1475 COM(97) 316 final DOCUMENTS EN 05 16 Catalogue number : CB-CO-97-304-EN-C ISBN 92-78-21597-X Office for Official Publications of the European Communities L-2985 Luxembourg. ft
