14In an annex to the application for registration of the ECI at issue, three amendments to EU acts, existing or in prospect, were proposed. First, the organisers of that ECI requested that there be inserted a new article into Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (OJ 2002 L 248, p. 1), prohibiting any European Union budget allocation being made for the funding of activities that destroy human embryos, or that presume their destruction. Second, they proposed the insertion of a new subparagraph in Article 16(3) of the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing Horizon 2020 — The Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020) (COM(2011) 809 final), excluding from all funding under that framework programme research activities that destroyed human embryos, including those aimed at obtaining stem cells, and research involving the use of human embryonic stem cells in subsequent steps to obtain them. Third, they proposed the addition of a paragraph 5 to Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1905/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 establishing a financing instrument for development cooperation (OJ 2006 L 378 p. 41), providing, in essence, that EU financial assistance should not be used, directly or indirectly, to fund abortions.
