Article 175, paragraph 3, TFEU also provides that ‘if specific actions prove necessary outside the Funds and without prejudice to the measures decided upon within the framework of the other Union policies, such actions may be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and after consulting the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions'.
LESD 175. pantā (trešajā daļā) ir noteikts, ka, "ja izrādās, ka vajadzīga īpaša rīcība, kas nav fondu kompetencē, un neskarot pasākumus, par kuriem lēmumi pieņemti saskaņā ar Savienības politiku citās jomās, Eiropas Parlaments un Padome to var paredzēt saskaņā ar parasto likumdošanas procedūru pēc apspriešanās ar Ekonomikas un sociālo lietu komiteju un Reģionu komiteju".
