External Action Package
• Big increase requested by EC for Heading 4: from €56bn to €70bn,
from 5.6% to 6.8% of the total EU budget
– DCI: from €17.3 billion to €20.6 billion
– EDF (for ACP countries): from €22.3 billion (over 6 years) to
€30.3 billion (over 7 years). 13%increase when duration and
inflation is taken into account.
– Humanitarian Aid: from € 5.6 to € 6.4 b€ + 2.45 b€ in reserve
outside the MFF.
• No big change in the instruments’ architecture: keep
geographic and thematic/horizontal instruments. Only new is
the Partnership Instrument.
• European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) = € 16,1 billion
(€11,3 billion in 2007-2013), representing 23% of Heading 4
=> Big increase
External Action package (2)
• Thematic programmes under DCI to be reduced to 2:
• Global Public Goods (climate change & env, energy,
human development, food security, migration)
• CSOs and Local Authorities
• New Pan-African Programme (1 b€)
Mainsteaming Climate financing – 50% of the budget for
thematic programmes will finance climate and environment
actions.
20% of geographic programmes for Human development but
problem of definition of human development
€ 13.991bn

REFLECTING the AGENDA for CHANGE
• Value for money and impact Differentiation between
countries: no more ODA to govts of 17 UMIC and India and
Indonesia (DCI countries). Also for EDF but no country with a
zero envelope because of CPA. No differentiation for ENI but
‘more for more’
• Concentration: Maximum of 3 sectors per country for
geographic programmes
• Inclusive growth support to private sector, leveraging loans
with grants, aid for trade, regional aid
• EU interests security issues, raw material, energy, climate
change, aid for trade, blending for big infrastuctures (EIB and
other banks), agriculture
Reflecting the Agenda for Change (2)
• In principle more coordination and division of labour with MS but
still difficult. Pilot on joint programming in 5 countries
• Supporting good governance and reform  more for more in ENI,
flexibility in EDF (top-up enveloppes), more conditionality on Budget
support (less GBS)
• Support to Civil Society but not very prominent in draft regulations
(in the meantime CSO communication). CSO-LA TP increased by 10%
in DCI.
Next steps
• Next opportunity for agreement on the MFF early February. Van
Rompuy latest proposal = 85 b€ cut compared to EC proposal.
• 13% cut in H4 (9.3 b€) and 11% cut for EDF (3.3 b€): H4 increased
by 5% only, EDF stagnating, EAR cut by 20%. Risk of more cuts!
• Once MFF approved, EC to propose a division of H4 between
instruments. Big instruments might lose more. Ashton will defend
EIDHR and PI. Piebalgs DCI.
• Co-decision on the legal bases not before mid 2013. Formal
trialogue blocked for the moment – delegated acts / EP scrutiny.
Technical discussions going on informally. For differentiation, 4
pending countries: Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and SA.
A more flexible country programming process
• Country allocation criteria for both EDF and DCI in preparation.
• Country programming started in June 2012 (without figures)
 More coherence & aid effectiveness: alignment to partner
countries & joint programming (5 pilot countries: Guatemala,
Nepal, Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, Mali suspended)

CSPs are not mandatory when alignment with national
development plans

CSPs may be replaced by Joint (EU) Framework Documents

More flexible programming process for countries in fragile,
crisis & post-crisis situations
Programming thematic programmes
• Consultation on CSO-LA TP at the Policy Forum on
Development + additional inputs afterwards. Next step
unclear.
• No real consultation on GDG&C yet. It seems that
internal EC paper circulating. Next step unclear. Big
concern for CONCORD.
• Pan –African: depending on the review of the JAES taking
place in 2013. Summit in 2014.
• EC decision in May 2013. Consultation MS management
committee and EP before.
• First discussion on EIDHR in November. Concept paper
end 2012 followed by consultation.

Three proposed components
2. Strengthening CSO and LA networks in the field
of development at regional, EU and global level

TP Global Public Goods
– multi-regional and/or cross-cutting;
– innovative policies and/or initiatives with the objective of
informing future actions;
– actions in cases where there is no agreement on the action with
the partner government(s);
– actions which reflect a Union policy priority or an international
obligation or commitment of the Union;
– actions in cases where there is no geographical programme or
where it has been suspended.
Global Public Goods TP (2)
A holistic and joined-up framework to address key linkages in the
following areas of cooperation identified in the DCI:
• Environment and climate change
• Sustainable energy
• Food Security and Agriculture
• Migration and Asylum
• Human Development
Funding modalities
• New Financial regulation with simplified rules
(VAT, sub-granting, lump-sum,…)
• Existing modalities: Core funding /Subgranting / Delegated cooperation/ Twinning /
Co-financing (in full & in kind) / Direct award
of grants / Ring-fencing / Call for proposals for
Local Authorities
• In development: Programme funding /
Simplified calls for proposals

• Effort to simplify the technical language
• Application form in 3 parts:
•
1. Application form (project description)
•
2. Budget
•
3. Administrative data (Organisation's profile and experience,
partnership agreements (if any)
• Application form follows the logical framework structure
• Budget guidelines developed to guide budget elaboration
