GENERAL STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURE

INTRODUCTION TO THE UNION’S ANNUAL BUDGET

The Union’s annual budget (‘the budget’), as set out in Chapter 3 of Title II of Part Six of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), is the instrument which sets out and authorises the total amount of revenue and expenditure appropriations 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 must 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 principle of transparency ensures sound information on the implementation of the budget and the accounts.

The budget presents revenue and expenditure appropriations by section, one for each of the Union institutions as defined in Article 2, point 67, of the Financial Regulation. The revenue appropriations common to all Union institutions (own resources, surpluses, balances and adjustments) are presented in a separate section ‘Total revenue’.

In accordance with Article 47 of the Financial Regulation, Commission revenue and the revenue appropriations and expenditure appropriations of the other Union institutions are classified according to their type or the use to which they are assigned. The section of the budget relating to the Commission is classified according to the purpose of the expenditure, 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.

On its expenditure side, the budget contains differentiated appropriations, which consist of commitment appropriations and payment appropriations, and non-differentiated appropriations. Commitment appropriations cover the total cost of the legal commitments entered into during the financial year, whereas payment appropriations cover payments made to honour the legal commitments entered into in the financial year or preceding financial years.

For 2023, the expenditure appropriations authorised by the budget totals EUR 186 616 684 928 in commitments and EUR 168 648 669 965 in payments, representing a variation rate of 2,4 % and of -0,8 % respectively by comparison with the 2022 budget (including amending budgets).

In accordance with Article 312 of the TFEU, the budget complies with the ceilings for the year 2023 of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027 in accordance with Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 of 17 December 2020 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2021 to 2027 (OJ L 433I, 22.12.2020, p. 11). In this respect, this section (‘General statement of expenditure’) includes two overview tables presenting the budget according to the structure by heading of the MFF, at aggregate level as well as at cluster and programme level.

This section also includes the overview table of the establishment plan posts of all Union institutions (and bodies) and the overview table of buildings.

GENERAL REVENUE

A.   FINANCING OF THE UNION’S ANNUAL BUDGET

Introduction

According to the equilibrium principle, the total budgeted revenue of the Union must equal the total budgeted expenditure of the Union. When determining Member States’ own resources contributions, the starting point is the total amount of authorised expenditure. A small part of that amount is covered by other revenue (taxes levied on the salaries of Union staff, interest on late payments, fines and contributions from third countries to certain programmes, etc.). The remainder is financed by Member States’ own resources contributions.

Own resources can be divided into the following categories:

traditional own resources, mainly customs duties, collected on behalf of the Union by the Member States;

the own resource based on value added tax (VAT): a small proportion of the VAT collected by each Member State;

the own resource based on plastic packaging waste that is not recycled: a small amount applied to the weight of non-recycled plastic packaging waste generated in each Member State;

the own resource based on gross national income (GNI), which is a proportion of Member States’ GNI aggregate. It serves as the balancing resource. It finances all spending not covered by other sources of revenue so that revenue and expenditure are always in balance.

The key for determining the own resources is Council Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 (18). That Decision entered into force on 1 June 2021 after the ratification by all Member States according to their national constitutional requirements. It defines a new system of own resources, which includes the introduction of a new category of own resources.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 168 648 669 965. The uniform rate of call for the VAT-based own resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,6619 %. Traditional own resources account for 12,80 % of the financing of the 2023 budget. The VAT-based own resource accounts for 12,29 %, the plastic-based own resource accounts for 3,78 % and the GNI-based own resource for 63,97 %. Other revenue for the financial year 2023 is estimated at EUR 12 075 974 437.

Own resources needed to finance the 2023 budget account for 0,96 % of the total GNI of the Union.

The total amount of own resources allocated to the Union to cover annual appropriations for payments shall not exceed 1,40 % of the sum of all the Member States’ GNIs (own resources ceiling). This ceiling is temporarily increased by 0,6 percentage points for the sole purpose of covering all liabilities of the Union arising from the allocation of the resources necessary for addressing the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis.

The appropriations to be covered by the own resources referred to in Article 2 of Decision (EU, Euratom) 2020/2053 include the costs associated with the funds borrowed on the capital markets and on behalf of the Union in the framework of the European Union Recovery Instrument (19).

The tables below set out step-by-step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2023 budget.
