conclusion of this Convention means a change in the way that the\nmain policies of the European Union are addressed since the Human Rights approach to\ndisability has to be now a priority of all actions. There are a number of articles in the\nUNCRPD of utmost importance for the European external action. In particular, Article 32 on\nInternational Cooperation. There is also a fundamental article (4.3) regarding participation\nin particular organisations of people with disabilities in the implementation of all policies,\nincluding external aid. Capacity building of organisations is a pre-condition for participation\non an equal footing with other stakeholders. The inclusion of the UNCRPD in the external\ninstruments of the EU, will be also in accordance to the Council decision of November 2009\nconcerning the conclusion, by the European Community, of the United Nations Convention on\nthe Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2010/48/EC). This decision includes a declaration of\ncompetences (Annex II) by the European Union where International Cooperation is\nmentioned.

PURPOSE: to\nestablish a new financing instrument for the promotion of democracy\nand human rights worldwide 2014-2020 in the framework of the reform\nof the EU external action financial instruments and following on\nfrom previous\nEIDHR.
\nPHILOSOPHY AND ACTION PLAN FOR EXTERNAL AID 2014-2020:\nwhat happens outside the borders of the EU can and does directly\naffect the prosperity and security of EU citizens. It is therefore\nin the interest of the EU to be actively engaged in influencing the\nworld around us, including through the use of financial\ninstruments. The Lisbon Treaty marks, in this regard, a new\ndeparture in the EUs relations with the rest of the\nworld.
\nThe EU's engagement needs to be tailored to\nindividual circumstances. Its partners range from development\neconomies to the least developed countries in need of specific\nassistance from the EU.
\nIn general, the overall objective for external action\nfor the period 2014-2020 may be summarised as follows:
\nA\nmajor rationalisation of the instruments took place in 2003 and has\nbegun to deliver more effective results. The Commission does not\nconsider that another major alteration of the legislative\narchitecture is necessary for the next MFF period, although\nsome improvements are being proposed and the overall investment is\nbeing stepped up.
\nThe Commission proposes to allocate EUR 70 billion\nfor the 2014-2020 period for external instruments broken down as\nfollows:
\nIn parallel and for the first time, the Commission\nproposes a single horizontal regulation establishing common rules and\nprocedures for the implementation of the\nUnions instruments for external action.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the European Union is founded on the\nvalues of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality,\nthe rule of law and respect for human rights (Article 2 of the\nTreaty on European Union). Furthermore, as also provided in the\nTreaty, the Union's action on the international scene shall\nbe guided by the principles which have inspired its own creation,\ndevelopment and enlargement, and which it seeks to advance in the\nwider world: democracy, the rule of law, the universality and\nindivisibility of human rights and fundamental freedoms, respect\nfor human dignity, the principles of equality and solidarity, and\nrespect for the principles of the United Nations Charter and\ninternational law. (Article 21).
\nTherefore, the promotion of democracy and human rights\nis an essential aspect of the EUs external action. In\npromoting human rights and democracy worldwide, the EU is using a\nwide range of measures, from political dialogue and diplomatic\ninitiatives to financial and technical cooperation and\nassistance.
\nThe Regulation on establishing a European Instrument\nfor Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR)1 constitutes a corner\nstone of this political strategy and is a unique and visible\nexpression of the EUs strong commitment to democracy and\nhuman rights. The instrument has generated genuine results and\nnumerous success stories, providing support to civil society and\nhuman rights institutions worldwide as well as election\nobservation. Due to its independence from Government consent and\nits flexibility, the EIDHR represents a key added value to the\nEU policy toolbox.
\nThe general objectives and the scope of the EIDHR\nwhich are to contribute to the development and consolidation of\nhuman rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of\nlaw worldwide, must be preserved in the new Regulation.
\nRecent developments in the European Neighbourhood, in\nparticular the Arab Spring, have shown that there is a strong\nhome-grown demand for increased freedoms and rights together with\ndemocracy that the EU needs to support.
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the Commission\nconsidered three options (with some sub-options):
\nThe third option was\nretained as it would allow preserving the political and operational\nbenefits of the instruments, while allowing for a better adaptation\nof the regulation. Under this option, the new draft should be built\nas a better enabling regulation.
\nLEGAL BASIS: Article 202 and 209 of the Treaty on the\nFunctioning of the European Union (TFEU).
\nCONTENT: this draft Regulation proposes to establish a\nnew European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights under which\nthe Union shall provide assistance to the development and\nconsolidation of democracy and the rule of law and of\nrespect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
\nSuch assistance shall aim in particular at:
\nScope and fields of action: Union assistance shall relate to the following\nfields:
\nThe promotion and protection of gender equality, the\nrights of the child, rights of indigenous peoples, rights of\npersons with disabilities, and principles such as empowerment,\nparticipation, non-discrimination of vulnerable groups and\naccountability shall be taken into account whenever relevant for\nall assistance measures referred to in this Regulation.
\nThe assistance measures shall take into account\nthe specific features of crisis or urgency situations and countries\nor situations where there is a serious lack of fundamental\nfreedoms, where human security is most at risk or where human\nrights organisations and defenders operate under the most difficult\nconditions.
\nGeographical scope: the assistance measures shall be\nimplemented in the territory of third countries or shall be\ndirectly related to situations arising in third countries, or shall\nbe directly related to global or regional actions.
\nGeneral Framework for programming and\nimplementation: Union assistance\nunder this Regulation shall be implemented through the following\nmeasures and in accordance with the Common Implementing\nRegulation:
\nStrategy papers shall set out the priority areas\nselected for financing by the Union during the period of validity\nof this Regulation, the specific objectives, the expected results\nand the performance indicators. They shall also give the\nindicative financial allocation, both overall and per priority\narea; this may be given in the form of a range, where\nappropriate.
\nThe proposed\nregulation also strengthens the coordination capacity and\nfacilitates joint programming with the Member States, ensuring\nefficient labour division and effective aid delivery. The Union\nassistance shall focus where it has more impact, worldwide\npromotion of democracy, good governance, human rights and the rule\nlaw, its long-term and predictable engagement in development\nassistance and its role in coordinating with its Member States.
\nIn accordance with the Council decision establishing\nthe organisation and functioning of the European External Action\nService (EEAS)5 , the High Representative/Vice-President shall\nensure overall political coordination of the Unions external\naction, including through the EIDHR. In particular, the EEAS shall\ncontribute to the programming and management cycle of the\nEIDHR.
\nImplementation: the\nimplementation has been greatly simplified as an Article stipulates\nthat the decision shall be implemented in accordance with the future Regulation\nestablishing common implementation rules for external relations\nfinancing instruments.
\nBUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS: the instrument proposed is\npart of the measures to be implemented under the Heading IV \"Global\nEurope\" of the European Union's Multiannual Financial\nFramework. The financial envelope for the\nimplementation of this Regulation for the period 2014-2020 shall be\nEUR 1 578 000 000 (current prices). It corresponds to an\napproximate average annual envelope of EUR 225\n000 000.
\nThe Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the report by\nAlexander GRAF LAMBSDORFF (ADLE, DE) on the proposal for a\nregulation of the European Parliament and of the Council\nestablishing a financing instrument for the promotion of democracy\nand human rights worldwide (EIDHR II) .

\nPURPOSE: to\nestablish a new financing instrument for the promotion of democracy\nand human rights worldwide 2014-2020 in the framework of the reform\nof the EU external action financial instruments and following on\nfrom previous\nEIDHR.
\nPHILOSOPHY AND ACTION PLAN FOR EXTERNAL AID 2014-2020:\nwhat happens outside the borders of the EU can and does directly\naffect the prosperity and security of EU citizens. It is therefore\nin the interest of the EU to be actively engaged in influencing the\nworld around us, including through the use of financial\ninstruments. The Lisbon Treaty marks, in this regard, a new\ndeparture in the EUs relations with the rest of the\nworld.
\nThe EU's engagement needs to be tailored to\nindividual circumstances. Its partners range from development\neconomies to the least developed countries in need of specific\nassistance from the EU.
\nIn general, the overall objective for external action\nfor the period 2014-2020 may be summarised as follows:
\nA\nmajor rationalisation of the instruments took place in 2003 and has\nbegun to deliver more effective results. The Commission does not\nconsider that another major alteration of the legislative\narchitecture is necessary for the next MFF period, although\nsome improvements are being proposed and the overall investment is\nbeing stepped up.
