Dear forum,

How is this to be interpreted?
Does it mean: additional to the contribution, proposed in these Articles?
(I also wonder if the parts in [] should indeed be added)

The CEF Regulation already provides for the possibility to allocate up to 10% to innovative financial instrument[s] (Art. 14). This ceiling can be raised by the Commission to 20% (Art. 21). Due to the fact that "cohesion-funds" do not contribute to EFSI, such a proposition would imply an additional reduction of more than 18 % of the "non cohesion funds" available for grants.We disagree with [the] proposal that the CEF contribution to EFSI is additional to these Articles.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Charlesp

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The author is saying that the 18% mentioned in the "proposal" is not in addition to the 10% of art. 14 or 20% of art. 21. That is, the interpretation should not permit 28% or 38%.

I agree that the words you have placed in [] improve the original text and would seem to be necessary.

Thanks, Charles!
agree Björn Vrooman : The original text does not seem to be proper English overall: "possibility" + infinitive, cohesion + hyphen, non without hyphen, space + %, EFSI without "the" (initialism, debatable)... It's more than 18%, though.
