(18) This Regulation lays down a financial envelope for the period 2018- 2020 which is to constitute the prime reference amount, within the meaning of Point 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management23, for the European Parliament and the Council during the annual budgetary procedure. The prime reference amount includes redeployments from the Erasmus+ programme (EUR 197.7 million), which should not under any circumstances undermine the funding of mobility projects already earmarked under the Erasmus+ programme, and from the Employment and Social Innovation programme (EUR 10 million) for the financial years 2018, 2019 and 2020, and it is complemented by contributions from several Union programmes under different headings, such as the European Social Fund, the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, and the LIFE programme and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. __________________ 23 Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, OJ C 373, 20.12.2013, p. 1.

(39) The financial envelope of the European Solidarity Corps under Heading 1a of the Multiannual Financial Framework also builds on funds redeployed from the Erasmus+ programme. It must not in any way undermine the funding of mobility projects already provided for in the current budgetary planning. These funds should mainly come from appropriations aimed at financing European Voluntary Service activities that would fall under the scope of the volunteering placements supported under this Regulation. In addition, some appropriations of the Student Loan Guarantee Facility, which are unlikely to be absorbed under Erasmus+, should be redeployed with a view to providing adequate co-financing to the operating costs of national agencies and be brought more in line with the absorption capacity of this action.

2. The cross-border volunteering placements referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall be considered equivalent to those carried out under the European Voluntary Service and references to the European Voluntary Service in the Union legislation shall be read as also referring to the European Solidarity Corps as regards those placements. With a view to achieving better regulation for Europe and to avoiding duplication, a clear distinction should nevertheless be made between these two programmes so as to facilitate their use by national managing authorities and to facilitate access for young Europeans.
