"The European Commission has proposed a technical review of the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) with the aim of increasing flexibility, efficiency of implementation and coordination with other financial mechanisms. The turbulence affecting many Arab countries, in particular Tunisia and Egypt, demonstrates the need to support projects that have an impact on the pursuit of democratic values and human rights.
Therefore, I consider it to be extremely important that this financing instrument supports civil organisations, states and private individuals without the prior approval of the national governments being necessary. In view of the limitation of the budget destined for the EIDHR, it must only be applied to initiatives that promote human rights and democracy. However, I regret having to point out the Council’s refusal to apply Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which delegates to the Commission ‘the power to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of the legislative act’. The introduction of the regulatory procedure with control over strategy documents and multiannual cooperation programmes within the framework of the EIDHR would give the European Parliament greater power in this respect, as enshrined in the TFEU."@en1
