A. INTRODUCTION AND FINANCING OF THE GENERAL BUDGET

INTRODUCTION

The general budget of the Union is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure deemed necessary for the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community for each year.

The budget is established and implemented in compliance with the principles of unity, budgetary accuracy, annuality, equilibrium, unit of account, universality, specification, sound financial management and transparency.

—	The principle of unity and the principle of budgetary accuracy mean that all revenue and expenditure of the Union when it is charged to the budget must be incorporated in a single document.

—	The principle of annuality means that the budget is adopted for one budgetary year at a time and that both commitment and payment appropriations for the current budgetary year must, in principle, be used in the course of the year.

—	The principle of equilibrium means that forecasts of revenue for the budgetary year must be equal to payment appropriations for that year; borrowing to cover any budget deficit which may arise is not compatible with the own resources system and will not be authorised.

—	In accordance with the principle of unit of account, the budget is drawn up and implemented in euros and the accounts shall be presented in euros.

—

The principle of universality means that total revenue is to cover total payment appropriations with the exception of a limited number of revenue items which are assigned to particular items of expenditure. Revenue and expenditure are entered in full in the budget without any adjustment against each other.

—	The principle of specification means that each appropriation must have a given purpose and be assigned to a specific objective in order to prevent any confusion between appropriations.

—	The principle of sound financial management is defined by reference to the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

—	The budget is established in compliance with the principle of transparency, ensuring sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts.

The budget presents appropriations and resources by purpose (activity-based budgeting), with a view to enhancing transparency in the management of the budget with reference to the objectives of sound financial management and in particular efficiency and effectiveness.

The expenditure authorised by the present budget totals EUR 157 857 787 116 in commitment appropriations and EUR 134 490 371 363 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of + 1,66 % and of – 1,57 % respectively by comparison with the 2016 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 134 490 371 363. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % (except for Germany, Netherlands and Sweden for which the rate of call for the period 2014-2020 has been fixed at 0,15 %) whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6077 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 15,96 % of the financing of the budget for 2017. The VAT resource accounts for 12,34 % and the GNI resource for 69,63 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 2 772 392 898.

The own resources needed to finance the 2017 budget account for 0,85 % of the total GNI.

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2017 budget.

CHAPTER 1 4 — OWN RESOURCES BASED ON GROSS NATIONAL INCOME PURSUANT TO POINT (C) OF ARTICLE 2(1) OF DECISION 2014/335/EU, EURATOM

1 4 0
Own resources based on gross national income pursuant to point (c) of Article 2(1) of Decision 2014/335/EU, Euratom

Financial year 2017	Financial year 2016	Financial year 2015
93 652 040 715	97 149 435 272	94 008 966 506,53

Remarks

The GNI-based resource is an ‘additional’ resource, providing the revenue required to cover expenditure in excess of the amount yielded by traditional own resources, VAT-based payments and other revenue in any particular year. By implication, the GNI-based resource ensures that the general budget of the Union is always balanced ex ante.

The GNI call rate is determined by the additional revenue needed to finance the budgeted expenditure not covered by the other resources (VAT-based payments, traditional own resources and other revenue). Thus a call rate is applied to the GNI of each of the Member States.

The rate to be applied to the Member States’ gross national income for this financial year is 0,6077 %.

They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 608/2014.

After the closure of the accounts for each financial year, any discrepancy in relation to the estimates is entered in the budget for the following financial year through an amending budget that must be presented by the Commission within 15 days following the submission of the provisional accounts.

A deficit is entered in Article 27 02 01 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Financial year 2017	Financial year 2016	Financial year 2015

Remarks

Article 3 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark and Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, grant full exemption to these Member States from supporting the financial consequences of some specific policies in the area of freedom, security and justice, with the exception of the related administrative costs. They can therefore obtain an adjustment to the own resources paid for each year in which they do not participate.

Each Member State’s contribution to the adjustment mechanism is calculated by applying to the budget expenditure resulting from this operation or policy the scale of the aggregate gross national income and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003 of 15 July 2003 on the harmonisation of gross national income at market prices (OJ L 181, 19.7.2003, p. 1).

The Commission works out each Member State’s balance and informs it in time for that Member State to enter its balance in the account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 609/2014 on the first working day of December, in accordance with Article 11 of that Regulation.

Legal basis

Financial year 2017	Financial year 2016	Financial year 2015
p.m.	p.m.	53 222 776,22

Remarks

Decision 2003/76/EC stipulates that the Commission is entrusted with winding up the financial operations of the European Coal and Steel Community which are still in progress upon expiry of the ECSC Treaty.

Pursuant to Article 4 of that Decision, net revenue from the investment of available assets will constitute revenue in the general budget of the European Union earmarked for a specific purpose, namely financing research projects in sectors related to the coal and steel industry by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel.

The net revenue available for financing research projects in year n + 2 appears in the balance sheet of the ECSC in liquidation for year n, and after the liquidation process has been completed will appear as assets in the balance sheet of the Coal and Steel Research Fund. This financing mechanism took effect in 2003. Revenue coming from 2015 will be used for research in 2017. In order to reduce as far as possible the fluctuations that movements in the financial markets could cause in the financing of research, a smoothing arrangement is applied. The amount of net revenue expected to be available for research in 2017 comes to EUR 42 100 000.

In accordance with Article 4 of Decision 2003/76/EC, 72,8 % of the fund’s appropriations will be for the steel-related sector and 27,2 % for the coal-related sector.

In accordance with Article 21 and Article 181(2) of the Financial Regulation, revenue will be used to provide additional appropriations under Chapter 08 05 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Legal basis

Council Decision 2003/76/EC of 1 February 2003 establishing the measures necessary for the implementation of the Protocol, annexed to the Treaty establishing the European Community, on the financial consequences of the expiry of the ECSC Treaty and on the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (OJ L 29, 5.2.2003, p. 22).

Financial year 2017	Financial year 2016	Financial year 2015
p.m.	p.m.	36 735 192,12

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’ to Mediterranean third countries.

It also comprises capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted to certain Mediterranean Member States which, however, represent a very small proportion of the overall amount. These loans/risk capital were granted at a time those countries had not yet joined the Union.

The revenue obtained normally exceeds the amounts forecast in the budget because of the interest payments on special loans which may still be disbursed during the preceding financial year as well as during the current financial year. The interest on special loans and risk capital is charged from the moment the loans are disbursed; interest on special loans is paid in six-monthly instalments and interest on risk capital generally in annual instalments.

This article may accommodate, in accordance with Article 21 of the Financial Regulation, assigned revenue which is used to provide additional appropriations to finance expenditure to which this revenue is assigned.

Legal basis

For the legal basis, see remarks for Chapters 22 02 and 22 04 of the statement of expenditure in Section III ‘Commission’.

Remarks

To cover the Members’ needs and in order to communicate properly the work of the European Parliament, it needs a well-equipped media centre, which could be also used for different purposes outside the plenary sessions. The appropriations under this item therefore intend to support the upgrading of technical equipment and media facilities given the increased media interest, the growing importance of social media and Members' additional needs; and to further develop a closer cooperation between the European Parliament, ARTE, local universities and schools in view to establish an European media Hub for example to train young journalists, outside the ordinary plenary sessions.

Macro-financial assistance

Remarks

Macro-financial assistance (‘MFA’) is a form of financial aid extended by the Union to partner countries experiencing a balance of payments crisis. MFA is designed for countries geographically, economically and politically close to the Union. These include candidate and potential candidate countries, countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy and, in certain circumstances, other third countries. In principle, MFA is only available to countries benefiting from an International Monetary Fund programme.

MFA is exceptional in nature and is mobilised on a case-by-case basis to help countries dealing with serious balance-of-payments difficulties. Its objective is to restore a sustainable external financial situation, while encouraging economic adjustments and structural reforms.

While MFA can take the form of medium/long-term loans or grants, or a combination of these, this article only covers the grant element of MFA operations.

Appropriations under this article will also be used to cover costs incurred in relation to MFA operations, and in particular: (i) costs incurred to conduct operational assessments in the beneficiary countries to obtain reasonable assurances on the functioning of administrative procedures and financial circuits, (ii) costs related to the implementation of the ‘Better Regulation’ guidelines, in particular for ex-post evaluations of MFA operations, and (iii) costs to cover comitology requirements.

The Commission will inform the budgetary authority regularly of the macro-financial situation of the beneficiary countries and will report extensively on the implementation of MFA on a yearly basis.

Any revenue entered in Article 5 5 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accordance with point (a) of Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation.
