Calculation of the financial contribution of the Faroes1. The financial contribution of the Faroes to the Framework Programme shall be established on a yearly basis in proportion to, and in addition to, the amount available each year in the annual budget of the Union for commitment appropriations needed for the implementation, management and operation of the Framework Programme, in accordance with the Financial Regulation and Commission Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 2342/2002 of 23 December 2002 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities [1].2. The proportionality factor governing the contribution of the Faroes shall be obtained by establishing the ratio between the gross domestic product of the Faroes, at market prices, and the sum of gross domestic products, at market prices, of the Member States of the Union. These ratios shall be calculated, for the Member States, on the basis of the latest statistical data from the Commission (Eurostat), available at the time of publication of the preliminary draft budget of the Union for the same year and for the Faroes on the basis of the latest statistical data pertaining to the same year from the National Statistical Authority of the Faroes (Hagstova Føroya) available at the time of publication of the preliminary draft budget of the Union.3. The Commission shall communicate to the Faroes, as soon as possible, and at the latest on 1 September of the year before each financial year, the following information together with relevant background material:- the amounts in commitment appropriations, in the statement of expenditure of the preliminary draft budget of the Union corresponding to the Framework Programme,- the estimated amount of the contributions derived from the preliminary draft budget of the Union, corresponding to the participation of the Faroes in the Framework Programme in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.Once the annual budget of the Union has been finally adopted, the Commission shall communicate to the Faroes, in the statement of expenditure corresponding to the Faroese participation, the final amounts referred to in paragraph 1.II. Payment of the financial contribution of the Faroes1. The Commission shall issue, at the latest in January and June of each financial year, a call for funds to the Faroes corresponding to its contribution under this Agreement. These calls for funds shall provide, respectively, for the payment:of six-twelfths of the Faroese contribution 30 days after receipt of the calls for funds. However, the six-twelfths to be paid 30 days after receipt of the call issued in January shall be calculated on the basis of the amount set out in the statement of revenue of the preliminary draft budget: the regularisation of the amount thus paid shall occur with the payment of the six-twelfths 30 days after receipt of the call for funds issued at the latest in June.For the first year of implementation of this Agreement, the Commission shall issue a first call for funds within 30 days of its provisional application. Should this call be issued after 15 June, it shall provide for the payment of twelve/twelfths of the Faroese contribution within 30 days, calculated on the basis of the amount set out in the statement of revenue of the budget.2. The contribution of the Faroes shall be expressed and paid in euro. Payment by the Faroes shall be credited to the Union programmes as budgetary revenue allocated to the appropriate budget heading in the statement of revenue of the annual budget of the Union. The Financial Regulation shall apply to the management of the appropriations.3. The Faroes shall pay its contribution under this Agreement in accordance with the schedule in paragraph 1. Any delay in the payment of the contribution shall give rise to the payment of default interest by the Faroes on the outstanding amount from the due date. The interest rate for amounts receivable not repaid on the due date shall be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union, in force on the first calendar day of the month in which the due date falls, increased by one and a half percentage points.In case the delay in the payment of the contribution is such that it may significantly jeopardise the implementation and management of the programme, participation in the programme of the Faroes for the concerned financial year will be suspended by the Commission following the absence of payment 20 working days after a formal letter of reminder sent to the Faroes, without prejudice to the Union’s obligations in accordance with grant agreements and/or contracts already concluded pertaining to the implementation of selected indirect actions.4. At the latest on 31 May of the year following a financial year, the statement of appropriations for the Framework Programme for that financial year shall be prepared and transmitted to the Faroes for information, in accordance with the format of the Commission’s revenue and expenditure account.5. The Commission, at the time of the closure of the accounts relating to each financial year, within the framework of the establishment of the revenue and expenditure account, shall proceed to the regularisation of the accounts with respect to the participation of the Faroes. This regularisation shall take into consideration modifications which have taken place, either by transfers, cancellations, carryovers, de-commitments, or by supplementary and amending budgets during the financial year. This regularisation shall occur at the time of the second payment for the next financial year, and for the last financial year in July 2014. Further regularisation shall occur every year until July 2016.[1] OJ L 357, 31.12.2002, p. 1.--------------------------------------------------ANNEX IVFINANCIAL CONTROL OF FAROESE PARTICIPANTS IN THE UNION PROGRAMMES COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENTI.

 Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.
 IIB
 114th CONGRESS
 2d Session
 H. R. 3216
 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
 September 27, 2016 Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' AffairsAN ACT
 To amend title 38, United States Code, to clarify the emergency hospital care furnished by the
 Secretary of Veterans Affairs to certain veterans.
 1.Short titleThis Act may be cited as the Veterans Emergency Treatment Act or the VET Act. 2.Clarification of emergency hospital care furnished by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to certain veterans (a)In generalChapter 17 of title 38, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 1730A the following new section:
 1730B.Examination and treatment for emergency medical conditions and women in labor
 (a)Medical screening examinationsIn carrying out this chapter, if any enrolled veteran requests, or a request is made on behalf of the veteran, for examination or treatment for a medical condition, regardless of whether such condition is service-connected, at a hospital emergency department of a medical facility of the Department, the Secretary shall ensure that the veteran is provided an appropriate medical screening examination within the capability of the emergency department, including ancillary services routinely available to the emergency department, to determine whether an emergency medical condition exists.
 (b)Necessary stabilizing treatment for emergency medical conditions and labor
 (1)If an enrolled veteran comes to a medical facility of the Department and the Secretary determines that the veteran has an emergency medical condition, the Secretary shall provide either—
 (A)such further medical examination and such treatment as may be required to stabilize the medical condition; or
 (B)for the transfer of the veteran to another medical facility of the Department or a non-Department facility in accordance with subsection (c).
 (2)The Secretary is deemed to meet the requirement of paragraph (1)(A) with respect to an enrolled veteran if the Secretary offers the veteran the further medical examination and treatment described in such paragraph and informs the veteran (or an individual acting on behalf of the veteran) of the risks and benefits to the veteran of such examination and treatment, but the veteran (or individual) refuses to consent to the examination and treatment. The Secretary shall take all reasonable steps to secure the written informed consent of such veteran (or individual) to refuse such examination and treatment.
 (3)The Secretary is deemed to meet the requirement of paragraph (1) with respect to an enrolled veteran if the Secretary offers to transfer the individual to another medical facility in accordance with subsection (c) of this section and informs the veteran (or an individual acting on behalf of the veteran) of the risks and benefits to the veteran of such transfer, but the veteran (or individual) refuses to consent to the transfer. The hospital shall take all reasonable steps to secure the written informed consent of such veteran (or individual) to refuse such transfer.
 (c)Restriction of transfers until veteran stabilized
 (1)If an enrolled veteran at a medical facility of the Department has an emergency medical condition that has not been stabilized, the Secretary may not transfer the veteran to another medical facility of the Department or a non-Department facility unless—
 (A)
 (i)the veteran (or a legally responsible individual acting on behalf of the veteran), after being informed of the obligation of the Secretary under this section and of the risk of transfer, requests in writing a transfer to another medical facility;
 (ii)a physician has signed a certification (including a summary of the risks and benefits) that, based upon the information available at the time of transfer, the medical benefits reasonably expected from the provision of appropriate medical treatment at another medical facility outweigh the increased risks to the veteran and, in the case of labor, to the unborn child from effecting the transfer; or
 (iii)if a physician is not physically present in the emergency department at the time a veteran is transferred, a qualified medical person (as defined by the Secretary in regulations) has signed a certification described in clause (ii) after a physician, in consultation with the person, has made the determination described in such clause, and subsequently countersigns the certification; and
 (B)the transfer is an appropriate transfer as described in paragraph (2). (2)An appropriate transfer to a medical facility is a transfer—
 (A)in which the transferring medical facility provides the medical treatment within the capacity of the facility that minimizes the risks to the health of the enrolled veteran and, in the case of a woman in labor, the health of the unborn child;
 (B)in which the receiving facility— (i)has available space and qualified personnel for the treatment of the veteran; and
 (ii)has agreed to accept transfer of the veteran and to provide appropriate medical treatment; (C)in which the transferring facility sends to the receiving facility all medical records (or copies thereof), related to the emergency condition for which the veteran has presented, available at the time of the transfer, including records related to the emergency medical condition of the veteran, observations of signs or symptoms, preliminary diagnosis, treatment provided, results of any tests and the informed written consent or certification (or copy thereof) provided under paragraph (1)(A), and the name and address of any on-call physician (described in subsection (d)(1)(C) of this section) who has refused or failed to appear within a reasonable time to provide necessary stabilizing treatment;
 (D)in which the transfer is effected through qualified personnel and transportation equipment, as required including the use of necessary and medically appropriate life support measures during the transfer; and
 (E)that meets such other requirements as the Secretary may find necessary in the interest of the health and safety of veterans transferred.
 (d)Charges
 (1)Nothing in this section may be construed to affect any charges that the Secretary may collect from a veteran or third party.
 (2)The Secretary shall treat any care provided by a non-Department facility pursuant to this section as care otherwise provided by a non-Department facility pursuant to this chapter for purposes of paying such non-Department facility for such care.
 (e)NondiscriminationA medical facility of the Department or a non-Department facility, as the case may be, that has specialized capabilities or facilities (such as burn units, shock-trauma units, neonatal intensive care units, or (with respect to rural areas) regional referral centers as identified by the Secretary in regulation) shall not refuse to accept an appropriate transfer of an enrolled veteran who requires such specialized capabilities or facilities if the facility has the capacity to treat the veteran.
 (f)No delay in examination or treatmentA medical facility of the Department or a non-Department facility, as the case may be, may not delay provision of an appropriate medical screening examination required under subsection (a) or further medical examination and treatment required under subsection (b) of this section in order to inquire about the method of payment or insurance status of an enrolled veteran.
 (g)Whistleblower protectionsThe Secretary may not take adverse action against an employee of the Department because the employee refuses to authorize the transfer of an enrolled veteran with an emergency medical condition that has not been stabilized or because the employee reports a violation of a requirement of this section.
 (h)DefinitionsIn this section: (1)The term emergency medical condition means—
 (A)a medical condition manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in—
 (i)placing the health of the enrolled veteran (or, with respect to an enrolled veteran who is a pregnant woman, the health of the woman or her unborn child) in serious jeopardy;
 (ii)serious impairment to bodily functions; or (iii)serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part; or
 (B)with respect to an enrolled veteran who is a pregnant woman having contractions— (i)that there is inadequate time to effect a safe transfer to another hospital before delivery; or
 (ii)that transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the woman or the unborn child. (2)The term enrolled veteran means a veteran who is enrolled in the health care system established under section 1705(a) of this title.
 (3)The term to stabilize means, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(A), to provide such medical treatment of the condition as may be necessary to assure, within reasonable medical probability, that no material deterioration of the condition is likely to result from or occur during the transfer of the enrolled veteran from a facility, or, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(B), to deliver (including the placenta).
 (4)The term stabilized means, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(A), that no material deterioration of the condition is likely, within reasonable medical probability, to result from or occur during the transfer of the individual from a facility, or, with respect to an emergency medical condition described in paragraph (1)(B), that the woman has delivered (including the placenta).
 (5)The term transfer means the movement (including the discharge) of an enrolled veteran outside the facilities of a medical facility of the Department at the direction of any individual employed by (or affiliated or associated, directly or indirectly, with) the Department, but does not include such a movement of an individual who—
 (A)has been declared dead; or (B)leaves the facility without the permission of any such person.
 .
 (b)Clerical amendmentThe table of sections of such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 1730A the following new item:
 1730B. Examination and treatment for emergency medical conditions and women in labor..
 Passed the House of Representatives September 26, 2016.Karen L. Haas,Clerk.

 Propuesta de Reglamento (CE) del Consejo por el que se modifica el Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98, relativo a los valores nominales y las especificaciones técnicas de las monedas en euros destinadas a la circulación /* COM/98/0492 final - SYN 98/0270 */
 Diario Oficial n° C 296 de 24/09/1998 p. 0010
 Propuesta de Reglamento (CE) del Consejo por el que se modifica el Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98 relativo a los valores nominales y las especificaciones técnicas de las monedas en euros destinadas a la circulación (98/C 296/06) COM(1998) 492 final - 98/0270(SYN)(Presentada por la Comisión el 31 agosto de 1998)EL CONSEJO DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA,Visto el Tratado constitutivo de la Comunidad Europea y, en particular, el apartado 2 de su artículo 105 A,Vista la propuesta de la Comisión,Visto el dictamen del Banco Central Europeo,De conformidad con el procedimiento establecido en el artículo 189 C del Tratado, en cooperación con el Parlamento Europeo,(1) Considerando que el artículo 1 del Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98 del Consejo (1) establece las especificaciones técnicas de los ocho valores nominales de que consta la primera serie de monedas en euros; que, basándose en el Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98, los Directores de las Fábricas de Moneda han desarrollado las especificaciones técnicas más detalladas que requiere la fabricación de las monedas;(2) Considerando que el sector de las máquinas expendedoras, tras examinar las citadas especificaciones detalladas, ha solicitado que se incremente el peso de la moneda de 50 cents, a fin de garantizar una mayor diferenciación de la misma y de reducir el riesgo de fraude; que la Unión de Invidentes Europeos, tras probar las muestras procedentes de las primeras series producidas, se ha quejado del acordonamiento del canto de las monedas de 40 y 10 cents, que no se corresponde con el de las muestras aprobadas por dicha Unión durante el proceso de consulta que precedió a la adopción del Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98; que, al objeto de garantizar la aceptación del muevo sistema por parte de los usuarios, parece conveniente acceder a las solicitudes formuladas tanto por el sector de las máquinas expendedoras como por la Unión de Invidentes Europeos; que, para acceder a la solicitud del sector de las máquinas expendedoras, es necesario aumentar el peso de la moneda de 50 cents de 7 gramos a 7,8 gramos; que, para responder a la solicitud de la Unión de Invidentes Europeos y evitar toda posible interpretación errónea en el futuro, resulta conveniente modificar la descripción del canto de las monedas de 50 y 10 cents y sustituir la expresión «acordonado tosco» por «perfilado con festón fino», que refleja mejor la forma del canto inicialmente aprobado por la Unión de Invidentes Europeos en relación con ambas monedas;(3) Considerando que es esencial limitar las modificaciones de las especificaciones técnicas al peso de la moneda de 50 cents y el canto de las monedas de 10 y 50 cents, a fin de no comprometer el calendario de fabricación y la introducción de las monedas en euros el 1 de enero de 2002,HA ADOPTADO EL PRESENTE REGLAMENTO:Artículo 1 En el artículo 1 del Reglamento (CE) n° 975/98, el cuadro quedará modificado como sigue:1. la cuarta línea quedará modificada como sigue:a) en la tercera columna, la cifra «1,69» se sustituirá por la cifra «1,88»;b) en la cuarta columna, la cifra «7» se sustituirá por la cifra «7,8»;c) en la octava columna, los términos «acordonado tosco» se sustituirán por los términos «perfilado con festón fino».2. en la octava columna de la línea sexta, los términos «acordonado tosco» se sustituirán por los términos «perfilado con festón fino».Artículo 2 El presente Reglamento entrará en vigor el 1 de enero de 1999.El presente Reglamento será obligatorio en todos sus elementos y directamente aplicable en cada Estado miembro, de conformidad con el Tratado, sin perjuicio de lo dispuesto en el apartado 1 del artículo 109 K y en los Protocolos nos 11 y 12.(1) DO L 139 de 11.5.1998, p. 6.
