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 155 004 173 148 in commitment appropriations and EUR 143 885 295 484 in payment appropriations, representing a variation rate of – 4,48 % and of + 1,84 % respectively by comparison with the 2015 budget.

Budgetary revenue totals EUR 143 885 295 484. The uniform rate of call for the VAT resource is 0,30 % whilst that for the GNI resource is 0,7134 %. Traditional own resources (customs duties and sugar levies) account for 12,92 % of the financing of the budget for 2016. The VAT resource accounts for 13,07 % and the GNI resource for 72,88 %. Other revenue for this financial year is estimated at EUR 1 616 701 373.

The own resources needed to finance the 2016 budget account for 0,97 % 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 2016 budget.

104 865 810 535	92 884 369 728	94 863 129 955,36

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 0,7134 %.

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’.

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 2016	Financial year 2015	Financial year 2014
p.m.	p.m.	53 081 071,04

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 2014 will be used for research in 2016. 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 2016 comes to EUR 43 100 000.

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).

Remarks

This article is intended to record any excess emissions premium imposed by the Commission.

The objective of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 is to set emission performance standards for new passenger cars registered in the Union, which forms part of the Union’s integrated approach to reducing CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles while ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market.

However, in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards for which a manufacturer’s average specific emissions of CO2 exceed its specific emissions target in that year, the Commission shall impose an excess emissions premium on the manufacturer or, in the case of a pool, the pool manager.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars as part of the Community’s integrated approach to reduce CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles (OJ L 140, 5.6.2009, p. 1), and in particular Article 9 thereof.

Financial year 2016	Financial year 2015	Financial year 2014
p.m.	30 000 000	292 611 339,40

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.

Former Article 01 02 01 (in part)

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 final on 12 July 2006 (OJ C 245, 12.10.2006, p. 5).

This appropriation is also intended to cover the cost of studies, workshops, conferences, analyses, evaluations, publications, technical assistance, the purchase and maintenance of databases and software and the part-financing and support of measures relating to:

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

—	expanding the EMU,

—	software development, maintenance and related training for the protection of the euro against counterfeiting.

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 key stakeholders and citizens, in relation to the EMU.

This measure is designed to be an effective channel of communication and dialogue between the citizens of the Union and the Union institutions, and to take account of specific national and regional characteristics, where appropriate in cooperation with the Member State authorities. Emphasis will also be placed on preparing citizens for the introduction of the euro in Member States planning for its introduction.

It includes:

—

the development of communication activities at central level (brochures, leaflets, newsletters, website design, development and maintenance, social media, exhibitions, stands, conferences, seminars, audiovisual products, opinion polls, surveys, studies, promotional material, twinning programmes, training etc.), and similar activities at the national and regional level implemented in cooperation with the Commission’s representations,

—	partnership agreements with Member States that wish to provide information about the euro or the EMU,

—	cooperation and networking with Member States in the appropriate forums,

—	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 implementation of the Commission’s communication strategy takes place in close coordination with the Member States and the European Parliament.

The Commission adopts a strategy and an annual work plan drawing on the orientations set out in its Communication of 11 August 2004 (COM(2004) 552 final) and it reports regularly to the relevant committee of the European Parliament 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.
