English term or phrase: additional to these Articles
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.

Explanation:
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.

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.
