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 145 321 531 152 in commitment appropriations and EUR 141 214 040 563 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of + 1,84 % and of + 1,57 % respectively by comparison with the 2014 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 141 214 040 563. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,7481 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 11,92 % of the financing of the budget for 2015. The VAT resource accounts for 12,93 % and the GNI resource for 74,04 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 575 497 557.

The own resources needed to finance the 2015 budget account for 1,00 % of the total GNI, thus falling below the ceiling of 1,23 % of GNI calculated using the method set out in Article 3(1) of Council Decision 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (OJ L 163, 23.6.2007, p. 17).

The tables below set out step by step the method used to calculate the financing of the 2015 budget.

104 548 163 756	94 613 600 163	110 032 395 624,40

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 0,7481 %.

Remarks

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, the balance from each financial year, whether surplus or deficit, is entered as revenue or expenditure in the budget of the subsequent financial year.

The relevant estimates of such revenue or expenditure are entered in the budget during the budgetary procedure and, where appropriate, in a letter of amendment submitted pursuant to Article 39 of the Financial Regulation. They are drawn up in accordance with the principles set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

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’.

Remarks

Under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, Member States are to send the Commission a statement of the total amount of the VAT resources base for the previous calendar year before 31 July.

Each Member State is debited with an amount calculated on the basis of that statement according to Union rules and credited with the 12 payments actually made during the previous financial year. The Commission works out each Member State’s balance and informs it in time for that Member State to enter its balance in the Commission’s account referred to in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 on the first working day of December of the same year.

Any corrections to the abovementioned statements resulting from Commission controls in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 or/and any changes to the GNI of previous financial years that have an effect on the capping of the ‘VAT’ base will lead to adjustments of the ‘VAT’ balances.

Remarks

On the basis of figures for aggregate gross national income and its components from the preceding year, supplied by the Member States in accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003, each Member State shall be debited with an amount calculated according to Union rules and credited with the 12 payments made during that previous financial year.

Any changes to the gross national product/gross national income of previous financial years pursuant to Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1287/2003, subject to Articles 4 and 5 thereof, gives rise for each Member State concerned to an adjustment to the balance established pursuant to Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000.

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).

Financial year 2015	Financial year 2014	Financial year 2013
p.m.	p.m.	52 762 018,07

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 2013 will be used for research in 2015. 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 2015 comes to EUR 47 700 000.

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).

Capital repayments and interest in respect of special loans and risk capital granted in the framework of financial cooperation with Mediterranean third countries

Financial year 2015	Financial year 2014	Financial year 2013
p.m.	151 000 000	0,—

Remarks

This article is intended to record capital repayments and interest payments on special loans and risk capital granted from the appropriations in Chapters 21 03 and 22 02 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

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

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 2013 will be used for research in 2015. 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 2015 comes to EUR 47 700 000.

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.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the following decentralised operating expenditure:

Missions:

—

travel expenses, including ancillary costs relating to tickets and reservations, daily subsistence allowances and additional or exceptional expenditure incurred in connection with missions by Commission staff covered by the Staff Regulations and by national or international experts or officials seconded to Commission departments (refunds of mission expenses paid for the account of other Union institutions or bodies and for third parties will constitute assigned expenditure).

Representation expenses:

—	reimbursement of the costs incurred by persons officially representing the Commission (reimbursement is not possible for expenses incurred in the performance of representation duties vis-à-vis staff of the Commission or other Union institutions).

Meetings of experts:

—

reimbursement of the costs incurred for the functioning of the expert groups established or convened by the Commission: travel, subsistence and incidental expenses of experts participating in study groups and working parties, and the cost of organising such meetings where they are not covered by the existing infrastructure in the headquarters of the institutions or external offices (experts are reimbursed on the basis of decisions made by the Commission).

Conferences:

—

expenditure relating to conferences, congresses and meetings organised by the Commission in support of its various policies, and expenditure for running a network for financial control organisations and bodies, including an annual meeting between such organisations and the members of the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control, as requested in paragraph 88 of European Parliament resolution of 27 April 2006 with comments forming an integral part of the decision on the discharge for implementation of the European Union general budget for the financial year 2004, Section III — Commission (OJ L 340, 6.12.2006, p. 5),

—

expenditure relating to conferences, seminars, meetings, training courses and practical in-house training for officials of the Member States who manage or monitor operations financed by the Union funds or operations to collect revenue that constitutes Union own resources or cooperate in the Union statistics system, and expenditure of the same type for officials from the countries of central and eastern Europe managing or monitoring operations financed under Union programmes,

—	expenditure on training third country officials who carry out management or control duties with a direct bearing on protecting the Union’s financial interest,

—	the cost of the Commission’s participation in conferences, congresses and meetings,

—	conference enrolment fees, excluding training expenses,

—	subscriptions to trade and scientific associations,

Studies and consultations:

—	expenditure on specialised studies and consultations contracted out to highly qualified experts (individuals or firms) if the Commission does not have suitable staff available to carry out such studies,

—	the purchase of studies already carried out or subscriptions with specialist research institutions.

A part of this appropriation is intended for two studies on:

(1)

The feasibility and long term viability of a Pan-European sentinel network for the early detection of new threats in allergies

This study should aim to prove the long term viability of a Pan-European sentinel network for the early detection of new threats in allergies with the following long term objectives of this network:

—	creating a central database, collect data (on country and Union-wide level), analyse and publish data regularly,

—	identifying new trends in allergic diseases before they become major public health problems that may cause an additional burden to European health care systems,

—	reporting to policymakers and alert them in a timely manner about new allergens where action is needed,

—	building up a sustainable system for better awareness, starting in schools, to decrease the burden of allergies for society.

Actions:

—	assess existing national systems of allergy surveillance which can be linked to the sentinel network,

—	involve an already existing infrastructure of more than 100 allergy centres, covering the entire Union. This network has been in place for a number of years and is still expanding, which confirms the viability of the project,

—	use standardised series for inhalant and food allergens (taking into account regional diversity) in 100 centres in all patients and to deploy this activity in the entire Union. This allows consistent monitoring of allergy trends in patients in a standardised manner,

—	use, in a pilot study, a patient sample, called ‘reporters’, for consistent monitoring of allergy in selected centres using internet and smart phone technology (aeroallergen sentinel network),

—	report cases of unknown allergies in the field of inhalant, food, drug or contact allergy to a central database, to detect novel allergens coming into the Union at an early stage,

—	disseminate results to policymakers, health care professionals and the general public;

(2)

Understanding and measuring the role of cultural and creative sectors for growth and territorial development

Cultural and creative industries (CCI) contribute significantly to shaping the identity of the European Union, its economy and the lives of its citizens. Heritage, music, film, entertainment, publishing, fashion, design, architecture and crafts, are areas at the intersection of art, technology and business. According to the Commission communication of 26 September 2012 entitled ‘Promoting cultural and creative sectors for growth and jobs in the EU’ (COM(2012) 537 final), the economic contribution of these sectors accounts for 3,3 % of the Union’s GDP and they employ 6,7 million people. Beyond their intrinsic cultural value and their economic weight, these sectors also have a wider ripple effect on economic and social development, by their impact on other sectors, on regional attractiveness or in stimulating creativity and innovation.

However, the contribution that the cultural and creative sectors can make to economic and social development in the Union is still not fully recognised.

European Parliament noted in its resolution of 12 May 2011 on unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries the necessity of analysing the effects of the activity of cultural and creative industries on the European economy, by ‘identifying, defining and describing them each in turn, in order to highlight their characteristics, better understand their goals and problems and implement more effective measures.’ In the same resolution, the Parliament called on the Commission ‘to pursue its efforts to produce a better definition of CCI with a view to analysing in depth their impact on long-term growth and international competitiveness and to foster greater recognition of the specific features of the sector’.

The Union lacks information and indicators to measure the contribution of cultural industries to economic development, which fragments, hinders and discourages initiatives and investments in these sectors. For example, the European Capital of Culture label acts as a catalyst for urban regeneration and territorial attractiveness. However, no comprehensive data are available on the impact of investments made during the labelling. Furthermore, the role of cultural resources and actors at the heart of creative ecosystems, in stimulating economic and social innovation is still poorly understood.

Information and management systems:

—	the development and maintenance under contract of management and information systems,

—	the acquisition and maintenance of complete (turnkey) information and management systems in the field of administrative management (staff, budget, finance, accounts, etc.),

—	studies, documentation and training linked to those systems and project management,

—	the acquisition of skills and expertise in the area of information technology for all departments: quality, security, technology, development methodology, information technology management, etc.,

—	technical support for those systems, and the technical work needed to ensure that they operate satisfactorily.

Further training and management training:

—

expenditure on general training designed to improve the skills of the staff and the performance and efficiency of the Commission:

—	fees for experts employed to identify training needs, design, develop and hold courses and evaluate and monitor results,

—	fees for consultants in various fields, in particular organisational methods, management, strategy, quality assurance and personnel management,

—	expenditure incurred in designing, holding and evaluating the training organised by the Commission in the form of courses, seminars and conferences (course instructors/speakers and their travel and subsistence expenses, and teaching materials),

—	the cost of attending external training and of joining the relevant professional organisations,

—	expenditure related to the practical aspects of organising such courses and the use of premises and transport and the cost of food and accommodation for the participants of residential courses,

—	training expenditure related to publications and information, associated internet sites and the purchase of teaching equipment, subscriptions and licences for distance teaching, books, press and multimedia products,

—	financing teaching aids.

The amount of assigned revenue based on data available pursuant to Article 21(3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 6 265 900.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the cost of carrying out the Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys in the Member States and candidate countries. The programme was initiated by a Commission Decision in November 1961 and was modified through subsequent Council and Commission decisions. It was last approved through Commission Decision C(97) 2241 of 15 July 1997 and presented in the Commission communication COM(2006) 379 on 12 July 2006 (OJ C 245, 12.10.2006, p. 5).

—	macroeconomic developments in the euro area,

—	monitoring structural reforms and improving the operation of markets in the EMU,

—	cooperation with economic operators and decision-makers in the abovementioned fields,

—	expanding the EMU.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the funding of priority information measures on Union policies on all aspects of the rules and functioning of EMU, as well as on the benefits of closer policy coordination and structural reforms, and to address information needs of citizens, local authorities and enterprises in relation to the euro.

This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the people of the European Union and the Union institutions, and to take account of specific national and regional characteristics, in close cooperation with the Member State authorities. Special emphasis is put on preparing citizens in the new Member States for the introduction of the euro.

It includes:

—	communication initiatives in third countries, in particular to point out the international role of the euro and the value of financial integration.

The Commission, when implementing this article, should take duly into account the outcomes of the meetings of the Interinstitutional Group on Information (IGI).

The Commission has set out its communication strategy on the euro in the Communication of 11 August 2004 on the implementation of an information and communication strategy on the euro and Economic and Monetary Union (COM(2004) 552 final). The implementation of the communication strategy takes place in close coordination with the Member States and the European Parliament.

The Commission reports regularly to the European Parliament’s relevant committee on the implementation of the programme and on planning for the coming year.

This appropriation is also intended to cover or to temporarily pre-finance costs incurred by the Union in concluding and carrying out operations linked with the borrowing and lending operations for macro-financial assistance, Euratom, balance of payment and European financial stabilisation mechanism.

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 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 Article 21(3)(a) of the Financial Regulation.
