Introduction
The Amending
Letter No 3 (AL 3) to the Draft Budget for 2012 (DB 2012) covers the following: –
the line by line updating of the estimated needs
for agricultural expenditure. In addition to changing market factors, the AL also incorporates the impact of legislative decisions adopted in the agricultural sector
since the DB 2012 was drawn up, revised estimates of needs for some direct
payments, as well as any proposals, which are expected to have a significant effect
during the coming budget year. –
an update of the situation for International
Fisheries Agreements; –
reinforcement of the EU contribution to the
European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) under Heading 2. The
budgetary impact of these adjustments is a reduction in commitment
appropriations of EUR 85.7 million and in payments appropriations of
EUR 83.4 million compared to the Draft Budget 2012.

Preservation and Management of Natural Resources
2.1.
Introduction and Summary Table
The AL 3 is sent to the
budgetary authority in accordance with Article 314 of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) "the Commission may amend the
draft budget during the procedure until such time as the Conciliation
Committee, referred to in paragraph 5, is convened". The AL 3 is based, in the
same way as the DB itself, on the needs of the EU as a whole. It must be
stressed that appropriations for agricultural expenditure financed by the EAGF
(European Agricultural Guarantee Fund) are to be understood as a forecast and
not as an objective of expenditure. The actual expenditure will depend, in
particular, on actual market conditions, on the actual euro-dollar exchange
rate, and on the rhythm of the payments by Member States. In accordance with
the legal base, whatever the amount a Member State is obliged to pay in
accordance with the regulations – within the limits set by the financial
framework - will be reimbursed in full, subject to budget availabilities.[5] For clarification and
transparency purposes, some budgetary remarks have been updated. According to the present
AL 3, overall appropriations requested for heading 2 in 2012 are estimated at
EUR 60 073 million, leaving a margin of EUR 737 million
in commitment appropriations below the corresponding ceiling of the multiannual
financial framework. The commitment
appropriations for agricultural expenditure (including veterinary and fisheries
expenditure financed under the EAGF) amount to EUR 44 092 million,
a decrease of EUR 88 million compared with the DB 2012, mostly
explained by higher than expected assigned revenue to be carried over from 2011.
EAGF payment appropriations are decreased by the same amount to a total of
EUR 44 015 million. As far as the
International Fisheries Agreements are concerned, the AL 3 proposes to decrease
commitment appropriations and payment appropriations for budget article
11 03 01 International Fisheries Agreements by EUR 3,5 million
and EUR 2,8 million, respectively, as well as to increase on the
reserve line commitment appropriations by EUR 4,2 million and payment
appropriations by EUR 5,8 million. The following table

EAGF (market related expenditure and direct
payments)
2.2.1 Overall Picture The purpose of the AL 3 is
to ensure that the agricultural budget is based on the most up-to-date economic
data and legislative framework. By the month of September, the Commission has
at its disposal a first indication of the level of production for 2011 and
perspectives for the agricultural markets, which is the basis for any reliable
estimate of the budgetary needs for 2012. As in the past, the
Commission has carefully reviewed all its estimates of agricultural expenditure
line by line. As well as taking into account market factors, this AL 3 also
incorporates the impact of any legislative decisions adopted in the
agricultural sector since the DB was drawn up, as well as proposals made by the
Commission. EAGF appropriations are
decreased by EUR 88 million. This is mostly due to somewhat higher needs
in chapter 05 02 Intervention in Agricultural markets (+ EUR 94 million)
and slightly higher needs in chapter 05 03 Direct aids
(+ EUR 37 million). These higher needs are more than compensated
for by a modification in the level of EAGF assigned revenue available in 2012.
Firstly, additional assigned revenue received in 2011 amounting to EUR 205 million
will be carried over from 2011 to 2012. Secondly, the Commission expects a
small increase in the assigned revenue generated in 2012 (+ EUR 14 million),
so that the total increase in available assigned revenue is EUR 219 million. As a result, the total
commitment appropriations requested for agricultural expenditure financed by
the EAGF are EUR 44 092 million, lower than in the DB 2012
(- EUR 88 million), resulting in a margin under the EAGF
sub-ceiling which now stands at EUR 619 million. The new margin for
heading 2 in total is EUR 737 million. 2.2.2 Detailed Comments 05 02 Interventions in agricultural markets (appropriations + EUR 75 million) needs
in draft budget: EUR 3 438 million appropriations
requested in draft budget: EUR 3 147 million estimated
assigned revenue available in 2012 in draft budget: EUR 291 million
needs
after letter of amendment: EUR 3 532
million appropriations
requested after letter of amendment: EUR 3 222 million estimated
assigned revenue available in 2012 after letter of amendment: EUR 310 million In general, the hypotheses
underlying this AL 3 confirm the assessment at the moment of the DB 2012, with
favourable prospects for most agricultural markets. The modifications proposed
by this AL 3 are mostly of a technical nature and concern small amounts, with
the exception of the fruit and vegetables sector, olive oil, dried fodder, and
the milk sector; where there are more substantial modifications. Overall needs
for intervention measures on agricultural markets increase by EUR 94 million
compared to the DB 2012. However, EUR 19 million of additional
assigned revenues are estimated to be available for chapter 05 02, so that
EUR 75 million additional appropriations are requested compared to
the DB 2012. The most important modifications
are shortly explained below. A table with the full set of modifications (at the
level of the budget article) can be found at the end of this section. For fruit and
vegetables, while needs for operational programmes of producer
organisations are somewhat higher (+ EUR 15 million) following
an updated assessment of the actual uptake of measures and the situation on
outstanding payments for plans from previous years, including the exceptional
support measures introduced in 2011, the appropriations proposed are slightly lower
than in the DB 2012. In fact, it is proposed to reduce the budget
appropriations requested for operational funds for producer organisations
(budget item 05 02 08 03) by EUR 4 million because of
EUR 19 million more revenue assigned to that item, reflecting updated
estimates. A more substantial modification is proposed for preliminary
recognition of producer organisations (budget item 05 02 08 11)
with + EUR 45 million, reflecting the steady increase of expenditure
over the last years, Member States' communications and updated figures for implementation
during 2011. For olive oil,
following a fall of market prices below the trigger price, and in order to cope
with high stocks in some Member Sates that affect the olive oil market throughout
Europe, it is proposed to enter EUR 23 million on budget item 05 02 06 03. This
will be needed for private storage aid. It is proposed to increase
appropriations for dried fodder (budget item
05 02 11 01) by + EUR 9 million,
reflecting the latest figures on production. For milk and milk
products, the AL 3 proposes to decrease appropriations by - EUR 10 million.
Part of that decrease (- EUR 6 million) is linked to
intervention storage of skimmed-milk powder, reflecting updated figures on the
stock situation in 2011 with some quantities carried over to 2012 in order to
have availabilities for the most deprived persons scheme. The other part of the
saving (- EUR 4 million) is related to private storage of butter
reflecting lower than expected quantities under contract. In additon to these
modified requests, the AL 3 proposes for food programmes for the most deprived
persons (budget item 05 02 04 01) that EUR 340 million
out of the total appropriations (EUR 500 million) in the DB 2012 to
be put on the reserve line, pending adoption of the legal base. The Commission
still considers that it would be possible to carry out food programmes at this
level after adoption of the proposed amended regulation (COM(2011) 634). 05 03
Direct Aids (appropriations - EUR 163 million) needs
in draft budget: EUR 41
174 million appropriations
requested in draft budget: EUR 40 674 million estimated
assigned revenue available in 2012 in draft budget: EUR 500 million needs

211 million appropriations
requested after letter of amendment: EUR 40 511 million estimated
assigned revenue available in 2012 after letter of amendment: EUR 700 million Budget appropriations
requested for this chapter are revised downwards by EUR 163 million.
The change is the result of an increase in the amount of assigned revenues by
EUR 200 million, while the revised estimation of needs shows a small increase
by EUR 37 million. The most significant variations affect the Single
Payment Scheme (SPS) and the Single Area Payment Scheme (SAPS) where there are
changes in the assumptions for execution rates, since 2011 is the first year
when actual implementation can be observed after the Health Check. Other small
changes occur on budget lines inside the chapter, with a zero-sum effect.

2.3.
International Fisheries Agreements
As foreseen by point B of Annex II to the Interinstitutional
Agreement (IIA), the Commission has examined the most recent information
available concerning fisheries agreements. To reflect the latest situation,
including the level of outstanding commitments (RAL), the Commission proposes
to decrease commitment appropriations and payment appropriations for budget
article 11 03 01 International Fisheries Agreements by
EUR 3,5 million and EUR 2,8 million respectively. It is also proposed to increase the reserve line
40 02 41 02 accordingly, by EUR 4,2 million for
commitment appropriations and EUR 5,8 million for payment
appropriations, reflecting updated information on individual Fisheries
Agreements and on the amount estimated for additional catches.
2.4.
European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
On 12 June 2009, the Commission presented a proposal for a Regulation
of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing on the
market and use of biocidal products[7]. This proposal includes new tasks for the European Chemicals Agency
(ECHA), part of which is financed under Heading 2 of the multi-annual financial
framework. The Council
adopted its position at first reading on 21 June 2011, and introduced changes
which give rise to the additional workload and associated resource needs for
the Agency are as follows: –
the scope of the EU centralised procedure for
product authorisation has been widened significantly, which will mean that the
Agency will have to process considerably more applications than initially
foreseen; –
ECHA will have a greater involvement in data
sharing in order to avoid duplicate testing on vertebrates and will also be
called upon to take decisions regarding the "technical equivalence"
of similar active substances; –
ECHA is now explicitly identified as providing
the secretariat for the co-ordinating group overseeing mutual recognition; –
ECHA will be responsible for the maintenance of
the Register for Biocidal Product which will be the key informatics platform
for submitting applications as well as exchanging information between the Member States, the Agency, the Commission and the applicants. A thorough review of the financial needs and staff requirements of
ECHA has been carried out by the Commission's services in consultation with
ECHA, covering the different new tasks to be assigned to ECHA. On 11 August 2011, the Commission adopted a Communication on the
Council's position[8], including a revised version of the financial statement taking into
account the changes introduced by Council annexed to the Commission
communication. As 2012 will be a year
of preparation and applications for product authorisations and substances
approval will only be submitted from 2013 onwards, ECHA's work on biocides will
depend entirely on the EU subvention in 2012. In order for ECHA to be
ready in time to implement the additional tasks assigned to it by the
co-legislators, the Commission proposes that the subvention is increased by EUR 1,7 million,
both in commitment appropriations and payment appropriations. These amounts are
entered in the reserve, pending the adoption of the legal base. The breakdown by
budget item is as follows: Item 07 03 60 01 — European
Chemicals Agency — Activities in the field of biocides legislation —
